but the, this is dw news live from by the refusing to quit this 5 was some of the calling sexual assaults. normally i will not resign. i want spanish football federation president louis will be all as long as it's an extraordinary defense of his actions, of the kissing a play around the mouth off to the women's woke up fine. also coming off rushes influence in africa heavily depends on the voc, my group being them. so how does the versions possible this affects what the

kremlin does across the concert. last, donald trump concerns himself in at a jail in georgia, in a historic 1st before we do as president and his microsoft taken us the size of the charges of conspiring to overtime, his eviction the gulf, as thanks for joining us or the spanish football federation president louis, what would be all this has cost shock waves across the sport and beyond. he refuses to resign after kissing the play of jenny her most so on the lips. he was why they expected to quit following the incidents of to sundays, woke up final one by spring oxy. told an emergency meeting of the federation that quote is full feminism and social assessment nation, where a play even received

a standing ovation from male and female delegates in the hold that this was often also threatened to take a female spanish government ministers, quote. officer, they said the goose was a form of sexual violence. the spanish government, on the other hand, has just announced that it has launched legal proceedings to ask for the honors from office. that's yeah, some of that speech that he gave up. today's meeting was the case. what do you think this is a reason to suffer the persecution? i am suffering that i'm a do you honestly think so? because i want to say publicly might be different. do you think it's a reason for me to self with this hounding for them to off my resignation? if i'm going to be serious, but i have to leave of that being achieved the best components in the history. spanish football do you think are tough to resign? well, let me ask you what i'm going to tell you something. i will no more. i will not resign the noble yet. i will not resign or i

was i you and then i best alone. if i'm dw sports is with me, then a you a professional football or yourself, and you also have played in spain, so uniquely qualified to talk about this. i mean, that statement that defiance that was on, on show that are you surprised both a little bit because, i mean, as soon as the case happened, there was immediate outrage. all across social media, federations teams, news outlets. players, everyone, but she spanish precedent as a louise regardless, she did not seem to realize the gravity of his actions. he defended it. he actually called people stupid, who thought anything bad of it. and then i think after the outcry, he was forced to kind of release the statement where it was almost a half apology. but the shock was that after all this, okay,

people thought he was going to resign. he was advised to resign. it was pretty clear that this meeting today was for him to resign and he was so defiant and saying i will not resign. and then he almost painted jenny her most so to not being the victim, she was the victim. he said it was consensual and they were, you know, friends and it was a case that he would give to his daughters that it was absolutely shocking for everyone. and also the fact that the federation applauded. that was even more shocking. now this is definitely not going to be over from here because you know, fif as opened an investigation. there's judicial proceedings underway. jenny, him also has this been receiving wide support from men and women's professional players, david, a half acre casias, hector. by that being said, this is embarrassing, so this is definitely not over right now. but also he has a have some support. several football grades have defended him also, both the spot,

both spanish national coaches, the men's team coach and the women's team coach. what are they not? c, right? i think it's more what we're not seeing is he's the boss of spanish football. he gave these people, they're very high paying jobs. you know, jorge viewed the, who's the women's coach of span, ruby, alice was essentially the number one person who backed him. when the team went to the federation and said, we have a problem, you know, with the coach and the message and the professionalism of the national team. so, i mean, we also can't forget that he is a member of the us executive committee. so there's a lot of backs that are being scratched here. so of course, some people can't really say anything against him. now, what does this mean for the women's game with something like this ever happened in men's football? i mean, it really brings to light the ugly side of women's football. and how often the sexism scandals and incidents happen not just in spanish, women's football, but,

and women's football at period. you know, we can forget ruby dollars was one of the people that the women's national team said, you know, she doesn't take woman's football seriously. she doesn't respect women's football. when the national team players went to him to voice their concerns about the conditions in the national team, he didn't listen to them, the federation didn't listen to them. so essentially, he's given them no choice. and that is unfortunately a very sad reality. and that happens all the time and women's football. the sports, thank you very much. i of the kremlin has denied room is of its involvement and the plane crash presumed to have killed the voc, the bose if any precaution, crammed in spokes person. dmitri pest golf cold, the accusations, quotes an absolute lie. russia has not officially confront precautions. death and says it's waiting for test results. for it goes, it was listed as a passenger on

a private jet that crashed me a must go on wednesday. according to russian aviation authorities, the incident came just 2 months to the day off the big oceans, it soon failed revolt and sparks suspicions of a crumbling assassination. russian president vladimir fulton broke his silence on the issue on the 1st day, not offering his condolences to the gardens family. russian authorities say that investigating the cause of the crash, which kills 9 of the people as well to process the presence in the african continent heavily depends on the box and the quote. but now after the possible death of the head of wagner, you have any pretty goes in there is uncertainty about as rolled. many african countries depend on russia for it can only guide and russia exerts its influence also to military cooperation. and this often involves the wagner quote, the most narrow is have been active in countries like molly saddam libya. and the

central african republic. buckner is also accused of political interference in these countries. but the wagner group has been working with various african governments for years. and several african nations depend on the group to contain the rebel movements in their countries. i asked the w correspondence critics, maureen, in that role be how the news of precautions preserve death was received across the continent a. well, the needs of precautions presumed dead have not had a big impact as yet because they still and such and t as to where that he's dead or not. there's no major african leader who's come out to see the morning, the data because you know, something like that. so it still remains unclear on how he's dead. we actually end up affecting some of these countries. we have buckler group has had its foothold, but some on, at least within the contingency of that the depths or the presumed dead,

the because in could actually have a financing effect on the butler groups, operational and here in the continents. now why is it so important to rush up to have troops in africa? so basically, uh, the advertisements between last year and some of the african countries like my the, my gosh, go where the wagner group operates. is that your last? yeah, i change the troops for these particular countries and as a result, this country is the last year in terms of minute roles. as i see a has been getting goal is has been getting at downward in some of this country. so the main reason why it is so important for the last year to remain in the continent is because, as i said, needs the main arrows, africa has those mean arrows. and so it is more of a better trade. so russia trace, the troops and the african countries give rush, i mean, they're also by the foxes that russia needs of. i mean, their role is to find out if it's

a by racial he and i forgot it also needs money or the resources to finance it. so patients elsewhere in that global, in africa, and very resources that we have, you mean i keep a keep focused point before russia, and that's why they maintain up for toys. he and africa. now let's assume that pre goes in is actually dead. will that change the dynamic of the content? i list everything, the content as i said, that that progressive is dest, if, if that's the case, will not have major implications. because as actually a has particular arguments and some of these countries that countries where it change it. so, and russia as a result and ends up benefiting from them in their own. and because there's no rush just feeling needs. the mean arrows progressions death is just maybe a huge, but it's not the end of this $34.00 at rushing africa. and i remember just the day

we had the, i've advocated actually assignment and put in, made it very clear we, they have 23 african leaders which was meeting that he wants to do more with africa . he wants to be friends advocate more so if it goes to his desk would not put a stop to his intent to, to have a better foothold in the continuance that was all corresponding. felix and mary got a talking to us from i robi, can you know? thank you very much, phoenix. let's have a look at some of the headlines from around the world. this is ones that lead as have agreed. a military defense packed with neighboring booking of fossil and molly, who's rudest, also took pilot and cruise west african regional block equal west is in tulsa with new jazz new leaders boss has threatened to use force to reinstate civilian rule. the u. n. is wanting that the conflict and saddam is threatening to consume the entire country and typically region into assuming that terry and catastrophe,

at least 5000 people have been killed and more than 4 and a half 1000000 have left their homes. since the fighting between rival generals broke out in april thirty's, battling wildfires and those eastern greece have discovered 2 more bodies bringing the death toll from recent days to $21.00. e officials have the flat the fi at me. a are alexandro police to be the largest on record in the european union. separate of the places are being blamed on us and the former us president donald trump has been formally arrested in the us state of georgia of to surrendering to law enforcement that it's the 4th time he's been arrested this year. but the 1st time he had his photo taken by police for official records, trump is accused of putting pressure on georgia officials to find him new votes in the bathroom for on stage and 2020 presidential election. by now familiar sight

trumps motorcade. dropping him off to face charges, but this time is different. this court photo of trump, along with an inmate number, is now sitting in the public records of fulton county jail. is the 1st mug shot ever taken of a former us president. it shows that even if you have all this money and all the power, you're the most powerful person in the united states, you are not above the law. and you are not about consequences from surrendered at the atlanta due to face charges that he illegally scheme to overturn the 2020 election results in georgia. and a phone call trumpet asked the republicans secretary of state to find them votes to change the outcome. trump said he's being prosecuted for making a quote, perfect phone call. when you have that great freedom to challenge you have to be able to otherwise, you could have heard this on

a selections. what is taking place here is a travesty of justice. we did nothing wrong, i did nothing wrong. instead of letting the latest spectacles damage his candidacy for the next election, trump is using it as a photo op from made his 1st post since 2021 on x. the platform formerly known as twitter, posting is own much shot with a link to raise money for his campaign and repeating claims of election interference, which many of us republican supporters believe that this country is too important to lose. we have to have donald trump, it's trump, for trump was released on a $200000.00 bill with a grand total of over 90 charges across the board. criminal cases, the ex president pieces escalating legal troubles. if you watch any dw news coming up next on dw, and use age,

60 is since being forced out of me on mom. the interest of jesus further away from being able to return the that and a lot more is up next on the, the news age of with my colleagues. very expensive. okay. how about the sometimes to show how that you out to the highlight for sure. every week, nothing, not the one of main kinds, oldest ambitions could be within reach. what is it really is possible to reverse the researchers and scientists all over the world.
