Rehanne Skinner, West Ham’s head coach, was fired after winning just one of their first 11 Women’s Super League games this year.
Second-placed Liverpool, who are second from bottom, held 2-2 at home on Sunday.
The board of directors believes a change is necessary, according to a statement from West Ham.
West Ham finished last season and second from bottom in 2023-24.
On November 16, they defeated Everton at home, their only WSL victory this term.
Skinner has endured a disappointing run of results this season because he was not fully supported in the summer transfer window.
Her side has struggled with relegation for a while, but Skinner has managed to help them succeed and sign some promising players.
With a limited budget and little money available, she has been clever in the transfer window, finding ways to sign foreign players who haven’t met the league’s qualifying players first, sending them out on loan.
She has also played a key role in implementing structural changes, pushing for more staff, more women’s medical research, maternity support, and overall stability for the team as the club’s first female manager.
There was an expectation from West Ham’s sources that Skinner’s dedication to the role would improve upon the performances of the previous season and earn a ninth-place finish.
However, they have consistently struggled this term and, despite doing well in patches, have lacked organization and solidity.
As a result, they only had eight points last season, compared to the five they currently have, and Skinner, a seasoned coach, will understand that football is a business of results.
Lacking effective security measures, Somalia’s new electronic visa website could be used by nefarious actors looking to download thousands of e-visas containing sensitive information, including people’s passport details, full names, and birthdates.
Following a tip from a source with experience in web development, Al Jazeera confirmed the system vulnerability this week.

The source gave Al Jazeera details about the at-risk data as well as proof that they had reported their concerns to Somali authorities last week in order to reveal their vulnerability.
The source claimed that despite their efforts, the problem had not been resolved and that no response had been forthcoming from the authorities.
According to Bridget Andere, senior policy analyst at the digital rights group Access Now, “breaches involving sensitive personal data are particularly dangerous because they put people at risk of identity theft, fraud, and intelligence gathering by malicious actors,” according to Al Jazeera.
Officials announced a month ago that they were looking into the country’s e-visa system after hackers breached the country’s website.
Al Jazeera was able to replicate the vulnerability that our source had discovered this week.
Difficultly dozens of people e-visas that contained sensitive information were quickly downloaded by us. Personal information from people from Switzerland, Portugal, Sweden, the United States, and Somalia were included in this.
Al Jazeera did not respond when it was asked to question the Somali government about the system flaw.
The government’s push to implement the e-visa system despite being blatantly unprepared for potential risks and then redeploying it following a serious data breach, according to Andere, is an illustration of how disregard for people’s needs and rights can undermine public trust and lead to avoidable vulnerabilities, according to Andere.
The Somalian government’s failure to properly notify this]serious data breach in November is also alarming.
According to Andere, “In such circumstances, Somalia’s data protection law requires data controllers to notify the data protection authority, and in high-risk situations, such as this incident, to also notify the individuals affected,”
Because of the number of people of different nationalities and thus of different legal jurisdictions involved, extra protections should be in place in this situation.
Because the vulnerability hasn’t been fixed, Al Jazeera can’t reveal technical details of the breach, so publishing it could give hackers the necessary data to replicate it.
To protect the privacy of those affected, Al Jazeera destroyed any sensitive information it obtained as part of this investigation.
More than 35, 000 people who had applied for an e-visa to Somalia were the subject of a data breach that the US and the UK governments issued last month.
The US Embassy in Somalia stated at the time that “leaked data from the breach included visa applicants’ names, photos, dates and places of birth, email addresses, marital status, and home addresses.”
In an effort to improve security, Somalia’s Immigration and Citizenship Agency (ICA) updated its e-visa website to a new domain name in response to that data breach.
The immigration agency announced on November 16 that it was looking into the matter and that it was considering it with “special importance.”
As a result of months of fighting in the northern regions against a local affiliate of the group, Somalia’s Defense Minister Ahmed Moalim Fiqi had praised the e-visa system earlier that week, claiming it had successfully stopped ISIL (ISIS) fighters from entering the nation.
According to Access Now’s Andere, governments frequently implement e-visa systems in hurried fashion, which frequently leads to unsecure situations.
She added that it’s challenging for people to defend themselves from these kinds of data breaches.
She said that “data protection and cybersecurity considerations are frequently ignored first.” Because the information they provide is necessary for a particular process, it is challenging to shift the burden to the recipients.
When Ireland host Italy on February 14th, Hollie Davidson of Scotland will be the first woman to referee a men’s Six Nations game.

Davidson remarked, “I’m really looking forward to playing in the Guinness Six Nations.”
The last year has been very memorable, and I’m hoping to do well going forward.

He’s shared the stage with rock legends like Ozzy Osbourne and Steven Tyler, yet some fans are still in the dark about how Yungblud got his icionic stage name. Dominic Harrison introduced himself to the world with his debut EP, Yungblud, in 2018, followed by his full-length album, 21st Century Liability.
Just a year later, the now 28 year old released his second EP, The Underrated Youth, and his second studio album, Weird!, which ranked the top spot on the UK Albums Chart and number 75 on the US Billboard 200. He’s has taken to the stage at major festivals worldwide, including Coachella in the US, Hurricane Festival in Germany, UNTOLD Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, and even his own Bludfest, founded by Yungblud in 2024.
In July this year, he won over Black Sabbath fans with a heartfelt cover of Changes at Ozzy’s final concert, Back to the Beginning, held at Villa Park, Birmingham, UK.
During an appearance on The Howard Stern Show, as seen in a YouTube clip, Dom revealed the origins of his stage name Yungblud, saying: “I thought Dominic Harrison was a bit polite for the music that I make.”
As reported by On Air with Ryan Seacrest, his management team started calling him young blood shortly after signing him, as he was the youngest artist they were representing.
Later in the show, when quizzed about what he’d name his future children, Dom responded: “If I had a girl, I’d name her Ziggy, and if I had a boy, I’d want to call him Iggy. So I’ve got Ziggy and Iggy”.
Fans have been sharing their love for Yungblud on YouTube, with one user commenting: “Absolutely love Dom’s music and the whole YB team. He’s such a kind and talented soul”.
Another fan chimed in: “He’s one of the most authentic people you’ll meet”. A third added: “It’s about time Yungblud is on the show”.
Yungblud, hailing from Doncaster, was scheduled to perform his Idols World Tour in the US last month. However, due to health concerns, he had to pull out.
In an emotional social media post, he shared: “This year has been truly unbelievable and I feel so lucky and honoured from everything that has happened”.
