Jenni Hermoso left out of Spain's squad for Women's European Championship after kiss controversy
Article content The training camp will begin next Thursday in Spain, with players from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid — who participated in the final of the Copa de la Reina on Saturday, due to report Sunday. The team will play a friendly against Japan near Madrid on June 27, and two days later will travel to Switzerland ahead of its Euro debut against Portugal on July 3. The final roster will be 23 players. The other nations in Spain's Euro 2025 group are Italy and Belgium. The 35-year-old Hermoso, who plays for Mexican club Tigres, has not been called up for national duty since friendlies against Italy and Canada last October. She had played in the Olympic tournament in Paris, when Spain finished fourth. 'The questions about Jenni are recurrent, and I've always answered them with great respect,' Tome said. 'We had a conversation when she came to the first FIFA break and didn't have many minutes. We've assessed what she's done with her club, just like we did with the rest of the players, and we've spoken with her coach. There's a lot of competition in her position … I think we've conducted a very professional analysis.'

New changes to land rules prompt call for farmers to plan ahead
Changes to Greening Rules put farming businesses at risk of losing vital funds, warns Scots firm Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

Scottish land management experts are urging farmers to act quickly following the release of revised Greening Guidance published this week by the Scottish Government. FBRSeed, one of Scotland's leading rural advisory firms, is warning that complacency or inaction now could see both long-standing and newly affected farmers risk penalties or lose out on significant subsidy entitlements. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Set to take effect in January 2026, the changes, require farmers who grow at least 15 Hectares of crops or rotational grassland to dedicate at least five per cent of their arable land to specific, environmentally beneficial practices, known as Ecological Focus Areas (EFAs). Jenni Douglas, Director at FBR Seed, Jenni Douglas, Director at FBR Seed and the firm's lead on agricultural policy and government schemes said: 'We know that EFAs have been around for a decade, and in that time have been largely unchanged, but farmers need to be aware of the changes coming into force in 2026. 'This matters to two main groups of farmers. First, those already doing EFAs who may not realise that the rules have changed, and their current practices might no longer count. 'Second, farmers who've never had to worry about EFAs before, like many in the dairy sector or those with more grassland, but who are now being brought into the scheme for the first time. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'Previous management of EFA's may no longer count as the rules for existing options are being amended in an attempt to provide a larger benefit to biodiversity and soil health across the country.' First introduced in 2015, EFAs were designed to ensure a portion of public subsidies supported environmental improvement efforts, such as biodiversity and soil health. Compliance accounts for roughly a third of a farmer's total subsidy payment, paid essentially as a top-up to their Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) income, equating to an additional £75 per hectare. A positive take from the revised guidance is the introduction of 4 new EFA options for businesses, such as herb and legume rich grassland or low input grassland, providing options suitable to the wider range of claimants targeted by these rules. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Existing options however have had an overhaul, with fallow ground now requiring a ground cover, minimum field margin widths being increased and the window to cut hedgerows being dramatically reduced. Jenni continued: 'Farmers are being give advance notice of these changes for 2026 to give them the chance to plan ahead – a rarity in Reform guidance to date! We are therefore advising claimants to take advantage of this additional time to act prior to planning their autumn cropping to avoid panic or non-compliance issues next Spring, at the worst possible time. 'All Scottish claimants are being contacted by letter from the government this week, but this guidance is dense, technical and sometimes contradictory. 'It's essential that farmers seek advice early and properly assess their land and practices against the updated criteria, and FBRSeed is positioned perfectly to provide this advice and support.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Richard Armitage, Director at FBR Seed, said: 'Farmers need to start mapping, planning and choosing compliant habitats soon. Leaving it too late could mean having to tear up growing crops in spring or, worse, not qualifying for their Greening payment altogether. 'With so much critical funding at stake, we see it as our responsibility to make sure farmers don't leaving planning too late. 'At a time when there's a real drive to become more self-sufficient and increase food production, we understand that there will be frustration from farmers who will be required to take good land out of production just to meet these new rules. 'Scotland already boasts an abundance of biodiversity and a diverse range of crops, we should be building on that, not compromising it.

No MBA, no problem: Scottish Leaders can build real credibility in just five hours
According to organisational communication expert Jenni Field, credibility, not authenticity, is the key to influence and success as a leader. And while not everyone is born with it, without it, teams become toxic, careers nosedive, and cultures unravel.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... To fix this, Jenni, the author of Nobody Believes You, which has sold over 4,000 copies, has launched Leading with Credibility: Master the 8 Proven Practices That Build Leadership Credibility. Forget MBAs, mountains of debt, and years of study. This course will take students from Scotland and beyond, through eight key practices which, in as little as five hours, will transform them into a leader people will truly want to follow, even if they don't right now. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'Titles after your name don't make you a successful leader, but being credible does,' says Jenni. 'Leadership advice such as 'be more authentic' or 'show more vulnerability' is vague, and far from solving the fundamental problem, it could make things worse. This course offers practical behaviours leaders can start using immediately so they stop feeling like they aren't cut out for life at the top of a company. It bridges the disconnect between having authority on paper and creating the genuine trust that makes people willingly follow them.' Leading with Credibility Endorsed by the Credibility Institute and based on extensive research with leaders and their teams, the course includes 10 video modules, Jenni's proprietary Credibility Wheel, a comprehensive workbook, a credibility gap assessment, and lifetime access for continued development. Insights from the course are intended to replace uncertainty with the confidence that comes from knowing exactly how to lead effectively. By mastering the art of communication, participants will see that credibility can be built even in the most challenging situations. Jenni adds, 'Leaders will spend hours in the gym to work on physical fitness and regularly meet with executive coaches to sharpen their strategy. What is worrying, however, is when it comes to strengthening their credibility, the one trait that can transform their leadership, their team, and their culture, it's often left to chance or totally left out of the equation.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad She concludes, 'This isn't about changing who you are. It's about building on your strengths and giving you the direction to inspire action and deliver results. Whether you're a quiet leader, a visionary, or stepping into management for the first time, credibility is your most powerful tool. It's the key to leading a team that believes in you and consistently outperforms expectations because they believe in your vision, thus accelerating your career.' Jenni Field Leading with Credibility comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee for those who complete the first three modules, implement the practices, and do not see an improvement in how their leadership is received.
