Spanish football federation head defiant over kiss

The head of the Spanish football federation, Luis Rubiales, has refused to resign over a kiss he gave to footballer Jenni Hermoso at the World Cup final. Hermoso has said she did not consent to the kiss, and the entire Spanish women’s team has said they won’t play until Rubiales has left his post.

Also on the programme: The Kremlin denies any involvement in the death of Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin; and a Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer predicts Donald Trump’s mugshot will become the most famous photograph ever taken.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss all this and more are Singaporean journalist and social activist Kristen Han and Fola Aina, an international security and development policy expert at the Royal United Services Institute.
