Spain football: Rubiales' mother on hunger strike

A preliminary investigation has been opened into Luis Rubiales for kissing a player.

The mother of Spanish football federation president Luis Rubiales has gone on a hunger strike because of the "inhuman hunt" against her son. The Spanish government has asked for Spain's Sports Tribunal (TAD) to suspend Rubiales, a request which will be discussed at a TAD meeting on Monday. We get reaction from Spain.

The Libyan prime minister is reported to have sacked his foreign minister following criticism of a meeting with her Israeli counterpart. Our Middle East regional editor explains.

France is to ban students from wearing a type of Muslim dress, called an abaya, in state run schools. We get reaction from France.

We look at migration from Africa and hear from three skilled people in Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria, who all want to leave their countries for better opportunities abroad.
