Photograph: Ryan Hiscott/Getty Images Sexism and bullying keeping women out of careers in sport, MPs told Women coaches routinely overlooked, undermined and denied opportunities despite qualifications, say experts Women are being shut out of careers in sport by entrenched sexism, discrimination and workplace bullying, MPs have been told. Female coaches are routinely overlooked, undermined and denied opportunities despite their qualifications, experts told a parliamentary select committee on Thursday. βThese hostile environments are hideous for women trying to build a career in sports. Itβs so bad that itβs unfair to put women in those environments,β said Lisa West, head of policy at Women in Sport. The consequences extend far beyond individual careers, experts told the women and equalities committeeβs first evidence session of its new inquiry, Beyond Participation: Routes into Sport for Girls and Women . βA coaching system that sidelines women risks depriving athletes of role models, narrowing the talent pool and reinforcing the message that, even in a rapidly changing sporting landscape, the most influential positions remain a male preserve,β said Lisa Williams, the head coach of London All Stars womenβs basketball team. The committee heard that one in five female coaches reported experiencing harassment or bullying, reflecting deep-rooted biases that continue to shape who is trusted, promoted and listened to across sport. The experts spoke of the daily sexism experienced by female coaches at the hands of anyone from parents to male colleagues. βAnd itβs not getting better,β said Williams. βDespite women having a very low confidence in reporting incidents β because there are no policies and no sanctions β weβve seen an increase in reports from women about bad experiences.β Highly qualified women are still being passed over in favour of less-experienced men, the panel heard.

Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Mirra Andreeva is the youngest women's singles Grand Slam finalist since Coco Gauff at the French Open in 2022 By Harry Poole BBC Sport journalist Published 16 minutes ago Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva reached her first Grand Slam final with a dominant victory over Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk at the French Open. A beaten semi-finalist in 2024, Andreeva was hugely impressive throughout her 6-1 6-3 victory and will await compatriot Diana Shnaider, the 25th seed, or Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska in Saturday's final. The 19-year-old is the fourth-youngest woman to reach the Roland Garros showpiece in the past 30 years, after Martina Hingis, Kim Clijsters and Coco Gauff. Should she prevail, Andreeva would become the third-youngest first-time Grand Slam champion this century, after Maria Sharapova and Emma Raducanu. Russia's invasion of Ukraine provided an unavoidable backdrop to the contest, with Kostyuk regularly denouncing the war since it began in February 2022 - and being highly critical of athletes from Russia who have failed to do so. In keeping with the stance taken by Ukrainian players over the past four years, Kostyuk did not pose for a pre-match photo with Andreeva, and the players did not shake hands afterwards.

Photograph: Michael Ho Wai Lee/SOPA Images/Shutterstock California governorβs race still a toss-up as leading candidates battle for top spots Republican Steve Hilton and Democrat Xavier Becerra lead the field as votes continue to be counted The Democrats to watch after Tuesdayβs primaries: from army doctor to Paralympian The key race for California governor is deadlocked as vote counting continued on Wednesday morning following primary elections to decide who would run in several critical districts in the US House and Senate in November, in a midterm year expected to favor Democrats. With nearly 60% of the votes counted, Steve Hilton, a Republican, former UK political operative and Fox News host who was narrowly ahead. Xavier Becerra, a Democrat and the former health secretary who led the field after a tumultuous campaign, was in second place while Tom Steyer, a billionaire environmental activist running as a progressive, trailed in third. The Democrats to watch after Tuesdayβs primaries: from army doctor to Paralympian Read more Results could still change significantly in the coming days. The California system is such that the two candidates who receive the most votes then face off in the general election, no matter which party they are from. The state sends all registered voters a ballot in the mail about a month in advance, which can be returned ahead of election day. But due to the crowded field of candidates many Democrats opted to wait until the last moment to cast their ballot. That meant early results were expected to favor Republicans β and with many likely Democratic ballots still outstanding, support for Becerra and Steyer was expected to grow as more votes are counted. Other results across the US, stretching from California to New Jersey , underlined many of the forces shaping the 2026 midterms: Democratsβ desire for change in the wake of the partyβs devastating losses to Donald Trump in 2024, the presidentβs enduring grip on Republican voters despite his falling approval ratings, and votersβ sour view of the US economy. In that vein, primary voters chose the safest, establishment Democrats in key races, who they deemed most electable when facing the opposition party.

0:39 Ukraine strikes St Petersburg oil refinery β video Ukrainian drones hit St Petersburg as βRussian Davosβ opens in city Energy and military sites targeted as guests gather for economic forum where Putin is due to speak on Friday Ukrainian drones hit energy and military sites in St Petersburg early on Wednesday hours before international guests gathered for the cityβs flagship economic forum, in a blow to Vladimir Putin. Several long-range drones crashed into oil storage facilities after Russian air defences tried unsuccessfully to shoot them down. There were loud explosions and black smoke rose high above the city from the blazing oil terminal. The St Petersburgβs governor, Alexander Beglov, said the Kirovsky and Krasnoselsky districts were targeted. Ukraine also struck the Kronstadt naval base and shipyard in Leningrad oblast, the port home to Russiaβs Baltic fleet. Vessels were reportedly damaged. The strikes will be deeply embarrassing for the Kremlin, taking place about 10 miles from the forum, where Putin is due to make a keynote speech on Friday. Guests arrived for Wednesdayβs opening ceremony under a pall of thick smoke. Others were unable to fly in after St Petersburgβs airport was temporarily closed. About 20,000 visitors from 130 countries are expected to attend the three-day annual summit, which has been described as Russiaβs answer to Davos. They include the former German chancellor Gerhard SchrΓΆder, the far-right American influencer Candace Owens and the Tate brothers.

Henry Nowak arrest footage raises 'serious questions for police', PM says 42 minutes ago Share Save Add as preferred on Google Jake Lapham The BBC has chosen to remove the sound in parts of this video due to its distressing content Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer says there are "serious questions for police" following the release of bodycam vision showing how officers responded to the murder of teenager Henry Nowak. His killer Vickrum Digwa, 23, was jailed on Monday for life to serve a minimum of 21 years for stabbing Nowak with a 21cm (8in) blade he said he carried as part of his Sikh faith. Bodycam footage shows the 18-year-old Southampton university student being handcuffed and telling police "I can't breathe" after Digwa lied to officers at the scene of the stabbing, claiming he was the victim of a racist attack. Sir Keir said the question of "how accusations of racism informed decision making" must be addressed. Speaking to broadcasters, he said the bodycam footage was "really harrowing" and he'd "felt sick watching it". The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said an investigation into the police force's actions was ongoing. Sir Keir said he wouldn't rule out an inquiry into the matter, saying "it's important the IOPC do their work at first, but I'm not saying there shouldn't be a wider inquiry. Of course I'm not". Warning: This story contains details some may find upsetting Earlier, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood called out a "dangerous undercurrent" in reaction to crimes, which she says are leading to threats. A police officer has been "forced to relocate to protect himself and his family", after being wrongly identified online as being involved in the case, she said. In an address to the House of Commons, Mahmood warned against opposition MPs politicising the case. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage told reporters he had a sense of "cold rage" at the treatment of Nowak and labelling it evidence of a "two-tier Britain". "A false accusation of racism counted higher at that moment than someone that was dying," he said. In a statement to the House of Commons, shadow home secretary Chris Philp said the "police appeared more concerned with the accusation of racism⦠than they were with helping Henry". Mahmood said that while it was for the IOPC to determine the facts of the specific case, she responded to allegations of preferential treatment by police more broadly. "The police in this country have a sacred duty to police without fear or favour. Everyone in this country is equal before the law," she said. The prime minister's official spokesman said there is "no such thing as two-tier policing". Labour MP Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi, himself a Sikh, accused Reform UK and other far-right parties of deciding to "scapegoat" the Sikh community "based on the actions of one violent murderer."

U.S. employers posted 7.6 million job vacancies in April, the Labor Department reported Tuesday, up from 6.9 million in March and most since May 2024. Economists had forecast just 6.8 million openings. The department's Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) showed that layoffs fell but so did the number of Americans quitting their jobs - a sign of confidence in their prospects. And the report's measure of gross hiring also dropped in April, suggesting that companies remain reluctant to add new workers even as they hold on to the ones they have. READ MORE: U.S. employers add a surprisingly strong 115,000 jobs in April, while unemployment remains low The American job market has been recovering from a dismal 2025. Last year, companies, nonprofits and government agencies added fewer than 10,000 jobs a month, least outside a recession since 2002. This year has been better β job growth averaged 76,000 a month from January through April. Big tax refunds β the product of President Donald Trump's sweeping tax cut bill last year β have given the economy a lift this year, offsetting the impact of sharply higher energy prices since the United States and Israel attacked Iran Feb. 28. But the refunds have mostly been paid out and are fading as an economic booster. READ MORE: U.S. job openings largely unchanged in March despite Iran conflict The United States also doesn't need as many new jobs as it used to. Trump's immigration crackdown and Baby Boomer retirements mean that fewer people are competing for work. As a result, the so-called break-even point β the number of new jobs needed every month to keep the unemployment rate stable β has dropped to near zero from 155,000 a month two or three years ago, according to an April report by Federal Reserve economists Seth Murray and Ivan Vidangos. On Friday, the Labor Department will issue its job report for May. The numbers are expected to show that employers added 100,000 jobs last month, according to a survey of forecasters by the data firm FactSet. The unemployment rate is expected to have stayed at a low 4.3%. A free press is a cornerstone of a healthy democracy. Support trusted journalism and civil dialogue. Donate now

British couple lose Iran jail sentence appeal, family says 6 minutes ago Share Save Add as preferred on Google Caroline Hawley Diplomatic correspondent Free Lindsay and Craig Campaign Lindsay and Craig Foreman were detained in Iran in 2025 A British couple jailed in Iran on espionage charges have lost an appeal against their 10-year sentence, according to their family. Lindsay and Craig Foreman were arrested in January 2025 while passing through Iran on a round-the-world motorcycle trip. They were accused of spying - charges they adamantly deny - and were sentenced in February. Both are currently on hunger strike in Tehran's Evin prison. A member of their legal team in the UK told the BBC no reason was given for the rejection of their appeal. Lindsay's son, Joe Bennett, said they were "not permitted to attend their own appeal hearing". He added: "It is a serious human rights violation, and it is one more reason why two British citizens, with no other options left, are now starving themselves in protest." Bennett said his mother and step-father had been asked to sign documents in Farsi which they could not read, and refused. Barrister Haydee Dijkstal, part of their legal team in the UK, said: "Craig and Lindsay are innocent tourists who are arbitrarily detained and who have had their fundamental rights severely and consistently violated throughout their detention." Their case has now been passed to the Supreme Court, according to Bennett, although the family do not understand the legal process or the timeline of what might happen next. "It's really tough, I don't know where to turn now," he told the BBC. "I'm massively worried for them. But it's hard because I can't talk to them." The couple have been prevented from calling their family in the UK since they gave an interview to the BBC more than a month ago. They began a hunger strike shortly after their communications with the outside world were cut. Family members have said Craig, a carpenter, has been refusing food for 25 days. Lindsay, a life coach, briefly resumed eating but is now on day 16 of her hunger strike. Snippets of news come via the families of their cellmates.

Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Marco Silva managed Hull City, Watford and Everton before taking the Fulham job By Sami Mokbel Senior football correspondent Published 2 June 2026, 12:41 BST Updated 10 minutes ago Fulham head coach Marco Silva is close to reaching an agreement to take charge at Benfica. Silva's contract at Craven Cottage is set to expire this month but as yet there has been no official confirmation of the 48-year-old's exit. Fulham have offered their Portuguese boss a contract renewal but he is yet to accept. And it is understood discussions have progressed significantly between him and Benfica in recent days, with an agreement within reach. Benfica are looking to appoint a successor to Jose Mourinho, who has left the club and signed a three-year deal to become Real Madrid's new head coach. Mourinho, 63, took over at Benfica for a second spell in September and led them to third place in the Primeira Liga. Silva joined Fulham in July 2021 from Everton and guided them back to the Premier League in his first season, following the club's relegation to the Championship a year earlier. The Cottagers finished 11th in the top flight last season, level on 52 points with Chelsea .

Emma Barnett: We can't ignore this disease that leaves one in 10 women like me in agony 7 minutes ago Share Save Add as preferred on Google Emma Barnett BBC Radio 4 Today programme presenter BBC The BBC's Emma Barnett was diagnosed with endometriosis a decade ago Chloe is making one of the hardest decisions a woman can make. After previous surgery failed to reduce the "horrendous" pain caused by her endometriosis, she is planning to have hysterectomy at the age of 26 - removing her womb and ending her chances of having a child. "I'm at the point now where I would not be able to look after a child. It wouldn't be fair. I just want everything out," she told me at her home in Edinburgh, while fighting back tears. "I know it's not a cure but I need to have a better quality of life." Chloe is one of the women I met over the six months I spent travelling the UK, investigating how the condition we share is affecting women's lives for the documentary Emma Barnett: Fighting Endometriosis . It left me more convinced than ever that this invisible disease - which affects one in 10 women of reproductive age but lives in the shadows - is a silent medical emergency that doctors, researchers and policy-makers cannot ignore or overlook any longer. A common myth is that it is a painful period condition. That is wrong: endometriosis is a system-wide inflammatory disease. Cells, similar to those which line the womb, start to grow in other parts of the body - such as on the bowel or in the lungs - and multiply, creating raw and angry sores. Activated by the hormones of the menstrual cycle, these sores thicken and bleed each month, inflaming and scarring the surrounding tissue. Women can experience a range of symptoms depending on where their endometriosis is, or which organs are stuck together with scar tissue, but the hallmark of this condition is bone-grinding, life-altering pain. "I've always got some form of deep ache, then I get these flare-ups where I feel I can't speak, I can't sleep, I can't eat, I can't do anything. It is horrendous, there is nothing that will ever, ever compare," Chloe told me. Dame Hilary Mantel wrote of her experiences of trying to live with endometriosis: "Anything I have achieved has been in the teeth of the disease." The late Wolf Hall author's choice of the word "teeth" was perfect and it is one I think of most days, as I grit my own. I was diagnosed 10 years ago, just before starting work at the BBC, as my husband and I were trying and failing to have children naturally. But I had known deep down something wasn't right with me since the age of 10, when my periods and hormone cycle activated. It had taken a full 21 years to be diagnosed. The average amount of time it takes to be diagnosed in the UK is nine years and four months, according to a survey of more than 3,000 women with the condition by the charity, Endometriosis UK. For women in ethnic minority communities, it is even longer: 11 years. For Madalitso, who came to the UK from

Colombia presidential runoff pits leftist senator against pro-Trump rival 30 minutes ago Share Save Add as preferred on Google Ione Wells South America correspondent Getty Images IvΓ‘n Cepeda Castro (left) and his rival Abelardo de la Espriella (right) go head-to-head in a presidential election runoff vote Colombia's presidential election will go to a runoff on 21 June between a leftist and right-wing candidate on opposite ends of the political spectrum, after Sunday's vote produced no overall winner. The right-wing Abelardo de la Espriella, an admirer of Donald Trump, came top in the vote, followed closely by the left-wing senator IvΓ‘n Cepeda, an ally of the current president Gustavo Petro. The campaign was plagued with violence, including drone strikes, kidnappings, homicides and the assassination of a presidential candidate at a rally last year. Both men offer differing visions for how to solve Colombia's violent internal armed conflict that has lasted for decades but has resurged in recent years. On Sunday, neither candidate achieved more than 50% of the vote to win outright. While polls tipped Cepeda to finish ahead of his right-wing challenger, official results showed that he trailed, with 41% of votes compared to De la Espriella's 43.7%, with almost all ballots counted. Cepeda was actively involved in the peace talks that led to a historic deal in 2016 between the Colombian government and the FARC guerrilla group, which led to the disarmament of thousands of rebel fighters. He is often described as an architect of the "total peace" strategy of President Petro, Colombia first left-wing president, which prioritises dialogue and negotiations with armed groups during ceasefires, over military intervention. Under President Petro's presidency, cocaine production hit a record high, membership of armed groups grew, and violence on the border surged to its worst level in years, displacing tens of thousands of people. This has led his critics and many security analysts to denounce "total peace" as a failed strategy, though Petro has argued his government has seized the largest amount of drugs in history. The economy has grown, and Petro increased the minimum wage significantly, though about one in three Colombians still live in poverty. Cepeda has pledged economic reforms if elected, including expanding welfare benefits and handing land to victims of internal conflict. EPA Armed guards were stationed at some polling centres across Colombia. De La Espriella is a lawyer and businessman who dubs himself "El Tigre", the tiger. He has heavily criticised Petro's negotiations with armed groups and advocated a tough military crackdown on crime, including closer co-operation with the United States, bombing cartels with US support, more powers for the military and possible mass trials. He has pledged to build 10 mega-prisons in the jungle in the style of El Salvador's hardline right-wing President Nayib Bukele who, many commentators have observed, De La Esprie
