earlier, i spoke to semra hunter, a footballjournalist based in barcelona, who provided more contextut the treatment of women in sport in spain. i think this is a very pivotal moment for society here in spain because for far too long, sexist behaviour, misogyny, machismo as they call it here in spain, it really has gone unchecked and it has been very normalised. there's been a very much a lack of awareness, lack of consciousness in people's behaviour and attitudes and treatment of women in certain aspects of society, actually across all spheres of society, i think we can say. and now finally, people are being called to action to do something about it. and so i think it is an incredibly important moment here that needs to be utilised properly because there has been a feminist movement that has been growing steadily over the last few years, both men and women partaking in this movement of all ages and asking, demanding, for there to be an equality of rights for men and women. and this absolutely has to be one of those turning points in which we actually can improve as a society. we can

here's what football journalist semra hunter, had to say on the incident i was really quite horrifiedate. this is, according to a one of the ministers in the government, she said this is sexual abuse. this is a boss kissing an employee. this is completely inappropriate. there was no consent, obviously, because we also happen in the moment, and without consent it is a form of sexual abuse, so it has sparked so much outrage over here, and really has grown massively throughout the day, as well, so much so to the point that the politicians did get involved, some of them, and demand that he gave explanations, that he described why he decided to behave in such a manner, and also demanded an apology as well, which is why, ultimately, the apology came, because it was thought that if he hadn't then he would probably be pushed out of a job. the thing is that people are still demanding for him to either step down for him to be sacked, so i have a feeling that this is going to carry on for quite some time. and does this tell us anything about football in spain, about wider society, or is this an

footballjournalist semra hunter says this doesn't come as a surprise and spanish football still has aem with equality. sexism is very prevalent, unfortunately. it is something that is their normalised here, which is why you have someone like we ruby alice basically saying he does not understand what he did wrong and he feels as though he clearly did not do anything wrong. and that is a major red flag, it is a major concern, and even pedro sanchez, the president of spain himself, said this is a perfect example of the long ruby have had of ourselves in terms of achieving equality of men's and women's right. hopefully we do have a reflection as a society come as a whole, and you try to find a better way forward as equals. but there's been support for rubiales from luis enrique. now at psg, he coached spain's men at last year's world cup. translation: i can tell you a little about my experience, _ translation: i can tell you a little about my experience, as _ translation: i can tell you a little about my experience, as i - translation: i can tell you a little about my experience, as i hav

let's get more on the latest — we're joined now by spanish sports journalists, guillem balague and semra hunterof the day, they are very good friends, they support each other. and let's not forget at that same assembly luis rubiales in front of everyone said he would extend his contract by four years and pay him half1 million euros a year, so why would jorge vilda all of a sudden the sudden desire to speak out against him? so, yes, there is a slight mention of criticism but for me it's not really that significant compared to everybody else here in spain. an incredible amount of support everyone is showing tojenni hermoso does a telling is the fact thatjorge vilda did not mention her in his statement, not her or her team—mates, there was no show of support or solidarity. and he is still in a job without the coaching staff, primarily. so for me, it's a shame you didn't use the opportunity to do the right thing. but again, as i say, i think it's just something to be taken with a bit of a pinch of salt. i don't think he really fully means the words he is actually put out there, as they relate to lu
