spanish society, it is about so much more than a kiss. we can talk about both things, lots of elements happening here, as it specifically relates to society people are saying this is a perfect example, symbol of the patriarchal treatment within the spanish football federation, this is what a lot of the players have been saying themselves for years now and a reflection of wider society and how sexual abuse, violence, misogyny, machismo has been normalised for far too long and women have never felt comfortable or safe enough or didn't have the platform by which they could come forward and speak about this openly. normally they would be shamed, humiliated, would not be believed and so on. for the first time i have been living in spain in 15 years i've never seen society come together so unanimously on one side and agree this is an appropriate

9:19 am
off at the world cup, there have been serious allegations for many years by men and women backed by police reports, reports, official complaints filed to the courts of spain, about his sexist and misogynistic behaviour. many people within spanish media and even the president of la liga put out an extraordinary statement on twitter highlighting the same thing,, even his own uncle highlighted his behaviour. innocent until proven guilty of course but still the history of their many people close to luis rubiales who have known him for many years will tell you the evidence is there and is piling up.
9:20 am
a whole separate debate here in spain about how he'd never should have been able to be in this position in the first place, they should not have voted him into the federation knowing his history. there is a woman who came out openly, she spoke about how when she worked with him, he humiliated her, asked about the cover of her underwear, did you come in only to get down on your knees? and another person filed a police report for physical assault. this is notjust i am really happy in the moment, i cannot contain my excitement, no, i am sorry but it is not the case. maybe with someone else it would be but this is not true for luis rubiales and that is why so many people are so angry because they said, had things been done at the time, proper investigations being carried out when they should have been, potentially all of this could have been avoided to begin with.

an agreement with police forces to follow all "reasonable leads" on offences such as theft. labour's called the policy an "admission of failure". the firefighters' union is warning it could take legal action to stop asylum seekers being housed on a barge in dorset — which it's described as a "potential death trap". the government says the health and welfare of asylum seekers is its priority. record numbers of people in the uk are borrowing from family members to help them buy property, according to new research. nearly 320,000 homes are expected to be purchased with financial support from relatives this year — that's up 50% on 2020. and a huge totem pole is being returned to an indegenous group in canada — who say it was stolen a century ago and sold to the national museum of scotland. a ceremony will be held at the museum in edinburgh today before the removal begins. that's the news, shourjo sarkar has the sport. good morning. british athletics has raised aspirations of a good return at the paris olympics next year after finishing the world
9:33 am
championships on high. there were three more medals on the final day in budapest, taking gb and northern ireland's total to ten. that matches the team's best ever haul at a world championship. norwegian golfer viktor hovland held off a determined challenge from the american, xander schauffele, in the final round of the tour championship to claim the fedex cup title and the £14 million first prize. schauffele carded a brilliant 62, to finish in second place, five shots behind hovland. burnley fc say they are saddened and dismayed to learn about an attack on the aston villa team bus after yesterday's premier league match between the sides. nobody was hurt in the incident. burnley say they will support police in their efforts to find whoever was responsible. and charlton athletic�*s dean holden has become the first football league manager to lose his job this season, after being sacked by the league one club.
9:34 am
it has already been a tasty morning so far, talking about the world cup kiss which caused controversy not just in spain but across the world and we will continue to talk about that until 10am this morning. then we will be talking about crime and how crime is impacting on you. this morning, we have heard from the government that they want to ensure that police investigate all crimes, that police investigate all crimes, that there is no such thing as a trivial crime. the home secretary has come out and said that police forces in england and wales must look at every theft and have all the
9:35 am
reasonable leads followed up. suella braverman says there is no such thing as minor crime, whether it is phone theft, car theft, watch theft, street level drug dealing or drug use, the police must follow every reasonable line of inquiry. that means evidence potentially from door bells, dash cams, cctv, it could mean the police wading through hours and hours of footage in order to identify potential perpetrators of crime. we would love to know from a police point of view what we think of all of that, is that even practical? in the year to march, just ll.1l% of thefts resulted in someone being charged and some commentators have said that is in effect of these crimes being decriminalised foster new guidance will be issued for police forces in england and wales but of course there are concerns that could divert resources away from the serious crimes, violent crimes, fraud, which is a big problem at the moment.
9:36 am
labour has called this a staggering admission of 13 years of tory failure on policing and crime. what is your view and what is your experience of policing and crime? have you reported a crime and felt largely ignored? did you get any more than a crime reference number for your insurance? if you work in policing, please tell us what is like on the ground in police stations right across the country. how does this guide and sound to you? is it reasonable, is it realistic? should every crime he realistic? should every crime be investigated? do we really won police officers turning up to every mobile phone theft in this country, is that the best use of resources? 50 after 10am this morning, police, so after 10am this morning, police, crime and youth. —— and you.
9:37 am
now we are discussing the spanish kiss, the world cup kiss. luis rubiales, president of the spanish football federation. a big question mark over his future. they have activated their sexual violence protocol. he has said he will not step down, he will fight to the end. it has caused a massive storm in the footballing world and it's been fascinating to hear what you think of it this morning. did he overstep the mark by planting that kiss on the mark by planting that kiss on the lips withjenni hermoso? there she is if you are watching on telly, right at the end of the world cup as they were being given her medals. she said afterwards she did not consent, she was not happy about it at all. semra hunter has been listening to your views and so has monique. what do you make of the discussions over and some up for us where this next. we have said the
9:38 am
football federation are meeting today in spain but i guess it won't be concluded today, is it? i today in spain but i guess it won't be concluded today, is it? i imagine it wouldn't unless _ be concluded today, is it? i imagine it wouldn't unless the _ be concluded today, is it? i imagine it wouldn't unless the federation i it wouldn't unless the federation decide to move him from his post and given there are so many supporters in the federation of rubiales don't expect that to be the outcome unless they want to preserve their own jobs. 50 i they want to preserve their own jobs. sol have a they want to preserve their own jobs. 50 i have a feeling this could very much take some time. in parallel, i think it's worth mentioning and there are two points i want to make in reference to my reaction to this. one other i want to make is that in spain, by law, based on a law that was put into place last year, it is called only yes is yes and centres around consent and it very clearly states in black and white that if there is no consent, it is considered sexual aggression, it is considered a crime. 50 because there has now been four official complaints put forward to the prosecutions office in madrid, this has been reported by the spanish media, they have taken
9:39 am
it now to the national courts, which means that they are going to look into a possible act of sexual aggression. so no criminal proceedings are also happening in parallel to the administrative proceedings, which means they could get him out, notjust the federation but go all the way and ban him from the sport and all sports altogether if they so choose, depending on the severity of the evidence that they find. 50 that is h severity of the evidence that they find. 50 that is u want to make clear, that becausejenni hermoso says it is not consensual, there is a very real possibility there could be a criminal outcome in all of this. also, the other thing i want to say is context in these situations is very, very important and i think we need to understand the deeper context around which this whole thing happened with the kiss. one of the things i want to say is when this happened a year ago with 15 other players coming forward and sending an e—mailto 15 other players coming forward and sending an e—mail to the federation and raising the very serious concerns about their mental state and emotional well—being because they were talking about the methodologies that had been put in
9:40 am
place by the coaching staff, the coach himself, they were asking for changes to be put into place. the federation basically treated them as though they were little girls, called them capricious little girls in a statement they released to the press. they also decided to make a very public. they basically insinuated they were blackmailers, these women, so just the public level of ridicule was an embarrassment as well at the time. and now, if you listen to the press conferences that luis rubiales has been given the whole time throughout the world cup, is largely centred around us against them, that kind of mentality. the two men against all of these women and the women that didn't want to be here and so on. so for me, this act of kissing jenni hermoso, besides the fact he's been avert scandal after scandal which means he thinks he is untouchable and invincible, almost a validation
9:41 am
for himself, i am the one that holds the power here, i am the one that controls all of you. i won this war against all of you. that is at least another outlook that is very, very much being talked about here in spain. 50 if we are to look at it in that context, then i think it is really important to see that there is very much more to this than just a spontaneous kiss in the moment and also ifjenni hermoso says there is no consent, then why are we not believing her? ithink no consent, then why are we not believing her? i think it is really unfortunate that there are so many people that are trying to spin this and say he is the victim and she isn't and i think it is very unfair that we are not giving her the benefit of the doubt, especially when we see the images where he forcefully grabbed her head and kisses her. i don't think there is much she could have done. it happened so, so very quickly. but beyond that, he was kissing other players on the cheeks, throwing them over his shoulder. it was just all of it together that reallyjust...

9:48 am
will tell us is how much power mr rubiales still has within the federation, given he is suspended, another member of the federation has stepped in as caretaker president and obviously there is a tremendous amount of pressure on him and the other members of the federation to change their position, to distance themselves from mr rubiales and to stop defending him and stop justifying his behaviour at the world cup and to take a different position and start distancing themselves from him. so we should find out later today what the position will be of this federation, without luis rubiales they are to take charge of it. has without luis rubiales they are to take charge of it._ without luis rubiales they are to take charge of it. has this taken on a olitical take charge of it. has this taken on a political dimension _ take charge of it. has this taken on a political dimension at _ take charge of it. has this taken on a political dimension at all? - take charge of it. has this taken on a political dimension at all? it i take charge of it. has this taken on a political dimension at all? it has| a political dimension at all? it has in the sense _ a political dimension at all? it has in the sense that _ a political dimension at all? it has in the sense that the _ a political dimension at all? it has in the sense that the spanish i in the sense that the spanish government has been talking a lot about this. several government ministers have been calling for luis
9:49 am
rubiales�* resignation, they were calling for that last week. of course, on friday he said no, he was going to stay in very defined terms. they have continued to call on him to resign and the government has started to take action to try and move him from office. so it is hoping that there will be a meeting of the national sports tribunal as early as today to start that process of removing him from office. but that can be quite a lengthy process. otherwise, i think you could say it is more of a social issue rather than a political issue, although there have been lots of politicians talking out about it. i think socially, it�*s been an issue which socially, it�*s been an issue which so many people have been talking about. many of them obviously taking about. many of them obviously taking a position against rubiales, calling on him to resign. so in that sense, you could say it is a social and political issue, one that has gone way beyond football. find
