On today’s show: Hamas says it will release hostages as scheduled this weekend. But the future of the ceasefire deal is still somewhat uncertain. NPR’s Kat Lonsdorf explains what’s going on. New reporting details frequent issues in the airspace near Reagan National Airport, where a helicopter collided with a passenger plane last month. The Washington Post’s Ian Duncan has the story. Luis Rubiales, the former Spanish Football Federation president, is on trial for alleged sexual assault and coercion after kissing soccer player Jenni Hermoso following a match. Dermot Corrigan, of The Athletic, has been in the courtroom and joins to discuss. Plus, the DOJ’s order to drop charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams prompts mass resignations, Trump announces reciprocal tariffs, and ‘Saturday Night Live’ turns 50. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.
Luis Rubiales' infamous kiss on Jenni Hermoso during the Women's World Cup celebrations in August 2023 provoked a global reaction. He swore it was consensual. She did not. But the subsequent behaviour of the former football association president, and three other officials, has since escalated into a full-blown criminal trial. If convicted on charges of sexual aggression, he could face two and a half years of jail time. But how realistic is a custodial sentence? And why is he also accused of coercion? As the trial concludes this week, Dermot Corrigan from The Athletic and The New York Times in Madrid, breaks down the legal battle surrounding Rubiales, outlines the testimony of Hermoso and explains the cultural fallout which led to #SeAcabó - Spain's #MeToo movement, and its subsequent backlash.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Aideen Finnegan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Any concerns that Newcastle would bottle their chance of a trip to Wembley proved extremely wide of the mark. They tore into Arsenal and thoroughly deserved their 2-0 victory.

The FA Cup takes a lot of stick, from me in particular, but Sunday offered two of the best sort of games. First non league Tamworth gave Tottenham a real test across 101 minutes of uncompromising football class war and then Arsenal and Man Utd went at each other in a game that had more needle than quality. Carl Anka and James McNicholas were at The Emirates, Jay Harris was in Tamworth, we've also got Seb Stafford Bloor on a rampant Bayer Leverkusen and Dermot Corrigan was watching the Classico that no-one in England could see (by legitimate means). This is everything you need to know about the weekend's football.

Well, that was a busy night. Wales gave one of their finest performances since 2016, beating Iceland 4-1 and gaining promotion to the top tier of the Nations League, but they're down to Item 3 tonight because Pep Guardiola has signed a new contract with Manchester City and Tata Martino has left Inter Miami, We've got all the scores from around the world, particularly in the Asian World Cup Qualifiers where Group C is now hilariously tight. Japan are running away with it. Five other nations are scrapping for one promotion spot, a single point separates them all and there are just four games left to play. Did you know that The Athletic was giving Bluesky a go? Some of our best writers have moved there and I've cracked and followed them over.
