Western security officials are wondering who will take his place and what will happen to the mercenaries he once led.

Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin is presumed to have died in a plane crash near Moscow, which killed all 10 people on board - and while his death has yet to be officially confirmed, Russian President Vladimir Putin has paid tribute to his former ally. The mercenary group has been active on the battlefields of Ukraine following Russia’s invasion, and Volodymyr Havrylov, Deputy Minister of Defence of Ukraine told the BBC that Prigozhin’s death could have an impact on the “confidence and morale” of Wagner troops – particularly among the lower ranks. Meanwhile, the UK defence ministry has said that although there is “no definite proof” that Yevgeny Prigozhin was on board the plane which crashed, it “is highly likely that he is indeed dead”.

The president of the Spanish football federation Luis Rubiales has refused to step down from his position, after he kissed forward Jenni Hermoso on the lips after the team’s World Cup final victory. The 46-year-old had earlier grabbed his crotch as he celebrated the final whistle, while in the VIP area of Stadium Australia, with Queen Letizia of Spain and her 16-year-old daughter stood nearby. It was expected that he would resign at an extraordinary general assembly called by the federation, but instead he said “a social assassination is taking place”, before repeating “I will not resign” several times, while a number of audience members – including both men’s and women’s national team coaches - applauded. But, after his speech, Spanish Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Diaz said Rubiales “has to go.”

Ukrainians celebrated independence across the country on 25/08 - and there's great pride that they've held the Russian invasion at bay, and are still re-taking occupied areas, albeit slowly. But how to end a conflict that the Pentagon estimates has caused half a million casualties? For many here and their supporters abroad the aim seems to be putting such pressure on the Russian military that Vladimir Putin is overthrown.

Volodymyr Havrylov, Deputy Minister of Defence of Ukraine spoke on whether the death of Evgeny Prigozhin will make any difference to the Ukraine War.

Jenni Hermoso, the player who he kissed, said there had been no consent. She described claims by Mr Rubiales that the kiss was consensual as “false” and “part of the manipulative culture that he has generated". The Spanish FA President has said he won’t resign and said he was facing what he called “social murder” and would “fight to the end” to remain in his job. A number of male Spanish players have said they will join the national women’s team in refusing to play until Mr Rubiales steps down and the Spanish government has begun legal action to remove him.
