Spain men’s coach says he was unaware of efforts to downplay Rubiales kiss
Luis de la Fuente appears at trial of ex-federation chief Luis Rubiales who kissed Jenni Hermoso after she had just helped Spain win 2023 World Cup
The coach of Spain’s men’s football team, Luis de la Fuente, has told the forced kiss trial of ex-federation chief Luis Rubiales that he initially knew nothing of the scandal’s scale or efforts to silence it.
Rubiales provoked worldwide outrage for the kiss on Jenni Hermoso after she helped Spain beat England in the 2023 World Cup final in Australia.
The scandal forced Rubiales to resign in disgrace that year and has made Hermoso an icon of the fight against macho culture and sexism in sport.

M23 rebels declare unilateral ceasefire in DR Congo’s war-torn east
The Rwandan-backed armed group M23 announced a unilateral humanitarian "ceasefire" from Tuesday in the DR Congo's (DRC) perennially explosive east, following calls for a safe corridor for aid and hundreds of thousands of displaced people.
The M23 rebels said the ceasefire would start Tuesday. The announcement on Monday came shortly after the UN health agency said at least 900 people were killed in last week’s fighting in the DRC's eastern city of Goma between the rebels and Congolese forces.
Fighting has stopped in the city of more than a million, which M23 forces claimed to have captured last week, but clashes have spread to the neighbouring province of South Kivu, raising fears of an M23 advance to its capital Bukavu.

European and US shipowners have sold at least 230 ageing tankers into the “shadow fleet” used by Russia to evade western sanctions on its oil exports and help fund its war against Ukraine, an international investigation reveals.
The shipowners have made more than $6bn (£4.8bn) since Russia’s 2022 invasion by selling the vessels to buyers in countries such as India, Hong Kong, Vietnam or Seychelles that are not participating in the economic sanctions against Moscow, the investigation found.
It said Greek owners had sold the largest number of tankers, offloading 127 vessels, with UK companies selling 22 and German and Norwegian owners 11 and eight. Most would otherwise have been sold for scrap at a fraction of the price, it said.
