1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:01,200
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge.

2
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 2: Kevin gray is a UK correspondent. Gevin, thanks for being

3
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 2: with us this evening. The former president of Spain's football

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: federation is going on trial later today. What's this about.

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you'll remember run back in the twenty twenty

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: three Women's Football World Cup that Spain won, and on

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: the winner's podium, the former president of the football federation,

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: Louis Rubialas, grabbed the head of one of the star players,

9
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: Jenny Hamoso, and by the head, he grabbed her with

10
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: both hands either side of her cheek and then well

11
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: the argument is, the acuation is he then pulled her

12
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: head towards his and kissed her fully on the lips. Now,

13
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: afterwards hermoso, the player, said the kiss had not been consensual.

14
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: Rubialis insisted it had been, and so he's now in

15
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: court today, a very unusual court, accused of sexual assault

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: for kissing the player. And it sort of led as

17
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: an issue about sexas and consent discussions in Spain and

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: all triggered really after this, and indeed it triggered ruby

19
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: Aalis's record resignation. It entered the political arena. The Prime

20
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: Minister said that they really needed to look at gender

21
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: equality and ensure consent sexual relations, which in some aspects

22
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: Spain was seen to be behind. So who would have

23
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: thought that in celebrating the victory for Spain in the

24
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: Women's World Cup in twenty twenty three, one man would

25
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: now end up in court for effectively, well allegedly assaulting

26
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: a player on the winner's podium.

27
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: Quite extraordinary, it is, especially because we all witnessed it, right, Yeah, yeah,

28
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 2: really strange. Like Donald Trump is the terrorff issue. We've

29
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: been talking about this all afternoon. Imports from the EU,

30
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: he says will definitely happen following what he's done with

31
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: Canada and Mexico and China. How's that landing, Yeah.

32
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: Where you can imagine, not particularly well. It's been debated

33
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: for so long about will he do it, won't he

34
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: do it? And as Donald trumpbenters talks shortly with Canada

35
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: and Mexico, he's actually threatening that he could ratchet up

36
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: those tariffs he's issued on those countries further if and

37
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: when they retaliate. The due to come in of course

38
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: in about a day's time. So there is lots of

39
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: talk about this here in the EU, what it'll mean,

40
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: and of course to the UK. So of the EU,

41
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: he said, quote, they've really taken advantage of us. They

42
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: don't take our cars, they don't take our farm products.

43
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: They take almost nothing, and we take everything. He says,

44
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: millions of cars, tremendous amounts of food and farm products.

45
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: The reporter then said, look, are you you know? Is

46
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: there a timeline? When's that going to happen? He said,

47
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: it's going to be pretty soon, and then carried on

48
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: with his famous sort of stance that the US has

49
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: been ripped off by virtually every country in the world,

50
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: But what about the UK? Well that was slightly different,

51
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: he said. There were issues, he said, And yeah, that's

52
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: a possibility. He said, But the Prime minister here Sakis

53
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: starmer Had and I love this bridge, Ryan Bridge, he says,

54
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: kist arm has been very nice.

55
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 2: Bizarre. Well, it's all about relationships, isn't it. I mean

56
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: with Trump, that's the that's the key to the castle,

57
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 2: I guess. And speaking of kis Damer, he's heading to Brussels.

58
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: This is for the European Union Union leaders meeting.

59
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and lots of people who voted for Brexit, believe

60
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: in Brexit, don't like this cozying back up to the

61
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: European Union. They fear it's re entering the Union via

62
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: the back law. But this is an important meeting. It

63
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: is the first time a British Prime minister has done

64
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: this since Brexit. He's heading over the English Channel. The

65
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: most of the discussions worry about the economy. There'll be

66
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: defense and security cooperation. He's also meeting the NATO Secretary

67
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: General Mark Rutter. But what Sakis Starmer is calling a

68
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: reset between the UK and the European Union, well around

69
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: plenty of people here are wondering if it's more. Will

70
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: they really not discuss the economy at all. Ministers have

71
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: already said they want to see a better relationship on crime, defense, security,

72
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: but also trade and will this potentially be the start

73
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: of some sort of rapproch one about that it was

74
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: never going to happen under Boris Johnson, it was never

75
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: going to happen under Liz Truss. Rishi soon Act seem

76
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: to be warmer to the idea, but was aware that

77
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: many in his political party as Prime Minister would not

78
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: have really allowed this at all. S Kis Farmer coming

79
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: at it from a different angle. Let's see what happens.

80
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: But it is this argument about perhaps closer links over

81
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: trade that is going to be extremely, extremely divisive here

82
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: in the UK.

83
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,800
