Podcasts about spain's world cup

In this episode, Niall delves into a recent controversy sparked by a kiss between the president of the Spanish football federation, Luis Rubiales, and forward Jenni Hermoso during the Women's World Cup final ceremony. The kiss, captured on camera, led to a flurry of reactions on social media, raising questions about boundaries, consent, and the significance of context.Niall opens the episode by sharing the news article detailing the incident and its aftermath. He provides context by mentioning the varying opinions expressed in the article. While some defended the kiss as a spontaneous gesture of joy after Spain's World Cup victory, others found it problematic and raised concerns about consent and personal boundaries.The episode then unfolds as Niall invites callers to share their thoughts on this controversial incident. Callers express a range of perspectives:Some callers argue that the kiss should be viewed as a celebratory moment filled with pure joy. They believe that the public reaction to the kiss is an overreaction, emphasizing the need to appreciate the context of the situation. They assert that people should not read too much into a simple kiss on the lips and avoid making it a bigger issue than it is.Other callers highlight the importance of consent and boundaries, regardless of the celebratory context. They argue that consent is crucial and that individuals should always feel comfortable with physical contact. Celebratory moments should not overshadow the need for mutual respect and consent. Dismissing concerns about consent is seen as a step in the wrong direction.Niall wraps up the episode, encouraging listeners to reflect on the significance of context, personal boundaries, and consent in moments of celebration and joy.

On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Sept. 21 at 6:40 a.m. CT: WASHINGTON (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is returning to Washington for a whirlwind one-day visit. This time, Zelenskyy will face the Republicans now questioning the flow of American dollars that for 19 months has kept his troops in the fight against Russian forces. Zelenskyy on Thursday will meet with President Joe Biden at the White House, speak with U.S. military leaders at the Pentagon and stop at Capitol Hill to talk privately with Republican and Democratic leaders of the House and the Senate. It's Zelenskyy's second visit to Washington since Russia invaded and comes as Biden's request to Congress for another $24 billion for Ukraine is hanging in the balance. Detroit carmakers are announcing more layoffs that they blame on fallout from the United Auto Workers strike. General Motors said Wednesday it idled a plant in Kansas with 2,000 workers because they don't have auto parts to work with. The plant that makes those parts is on strike. And Stellantis, the maker of Jeep and Chrysler, says it expects to lay off more than 300 workers in Ohio and Indiana. The layoff are adding to tension just two days before the UAW is expected to call for expanding its strike, which right now is limited to three vehicle-assembly plants. WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration says it's granting temporary legal status to hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans already in the country. The move Wednesday to give Venezuelans who arrived in the country as of July 31 temporary protected status essentially makes it easier and faster for them to get authorization to work. That's been a key demand of Democratic mayors and governors struggling to care for an increased number of migrants in their care. Venezuelans account for a large number of the migrants who've been arriving in the country in recent years. Eagle Pass, Texas, has announced a state of emergency over what it calls a “severe undocumented immigrant surge." NEW YORK (AP) — A growing number of Americans are finding it difficult to afford insurance on their homes, a problem only expected to worsen because insurers and lawmakers have underestimated the impact of climate change, a new report says. A report from the non-profit First Street Foundation released Wednesday says states such as California, Florida and Louisiana, which are prone to wildfires and damaging storms and flooding, are likely to see the most dramatic increases in premiums. But the fire that destroyed the Hawaiian community of Lahaina, as well as the historic flooding in Vermont and Maine, are recent examples of events that could drive up insurance costs for homeowners in other states. WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate has confirmed Gen. CQ Brown as the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, putting him in place to succeed Gen. Mark Milley when he retires at the end of the month. Brown's confirmation on a 83-11 vote, months after President Joe Biden nominated him for the post, comes as Democrats try to maneuver around holds placed on hundreds of nominations by Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville over the Pentagon's abortion policy. The Senate is also expected to confirm Gen. Randy George to be Army Chief of Staff and Gen. Eric Smith as commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps this week. The AL West contenders all win, the Rays waste a chance to cut into the Orioles lead, the Twins are on the verge of a title and the Brewers pad their division lead. LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Alan Williams has resigned, saying he needs to tend to his health and his family. Williams' resignation comes just two games into his second season. In a statement, Williams thanked the Bears and their front office and ownership, and vowed to coach again. He missed last week's loss at Tampa Bay for what the team said were personal reasons after working the opener against Green Bay. Coach Matt Eberflus called the defense in Williams' absence and figures to do so again when the Bears visit Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Sept. 20 at 4 p.m. CT: WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve left its key interest rate unchanged for the second time in its past three meetings, a sign that it's moderating its fight against inflation as price pressures have eased. But Fed officials also signaled that they expect to raise rates once more this year. Consumer inflation has dropped from a year-over-year peak of 9.1% in June 2022 to 3.7%. Yet it's still well above the Fed's 2% target, and its policymakers made clear that they aren't close to declaring victory over the worst bout of inflation in 40 years. The Fed's latest decision left its benchmark rate at about 5.4%, the result of 11 rate hikes it unleashed beginning in March 2022. WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans have clashed with Attorney General Merrick Garland, accusing him of the “weaponization” of its work under President Joe Biden. The Republicans used a routine oversight hearing on Wednesday to grill Garland about a special prosecutor's investigation of the president's son, Hunter Biden. Garland's appearance comes at an unprecedented moment in the Justice Department's history. The department is overseeing two cases against Donald Trump, the first former president to face criminal charges, and another against the sitting president's son. WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration has announced that it is providing $600 million in funding to produce new at-home COVID-19 tests and is restarting a website allowing Americans to again order up to four free tests per household. It is aiming to prevent possible shortages during a rise in coronavirus cases that has typically come during colder months. The Department of Health and Human Services says orders can be placed at COVIDTests.gov starting Sept. 25, and that no-cost tests will be delivered for free by the United States Postal Service. Twelve manufacturers in seven states have been awarded funding and will produce 200 million over-the-counter tests to replenish federal stockpiles for government use, in addition to producing enough tests to meet demand for tests ordered online. UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Ukraine's president is accusing Russia of undermining all norms of war and the United Nations Charter. The allegation was aired Wednesday at a meeting of the U.N. Security Council. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told the council that his proposal to end the 19-month war starts with adherence to the charter that ensures the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all 193 U.N. member nations. He stressed that restoration of all Ukrainian territory is the key to peace. Before the meeting started, there was intense speculation about whether Zelenskyy and Russia's top diplomat, Sergey Lavrov, would clash, speak or totally avoid each other. But no confrontation happened because Zelenskyy left the council soon after his address. NEW YORK (AP) — The nationwide surge in book bannings continues. The American Library Association is reporting that challenges to books in schools and public libraries will likely reach record highs in 2023, topping what had been a record pace in 2022. School libraries had long been the predominant target, but in 2023 reports have been near-equally divided between schools and libraries open to the general public, the ALA announced Wednesday. The ALA released its numbers in advance of its annual banned books week, Oct. 1-7, when libraries highlight challenged works. Budweiser parent company Anheuser-Busch InBev announced Wednesday that its iconic Clydesdales will no longer have their tails shortened using a common, yet controversial, procedure that has drawn the ire of animal activists. The brewer said in a statement that the change was made earlier this year, stressing that the safety of the horses was a “top priority.” The statement coincided with an announcement that it had obtained an animal welfare certification for the horses, as well as the dalmatians that serve as their companions. The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, led protests and mounted a nationwide ad campaign, with billboards depicting the horses reading “Severed Tails: Cruelty to Clydesdales.” WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Kevin McCarthy says he won't give up in trying to pass a conservative bill to prevent a government shutdown. The California Republican is confronted with dwindling time and no sure support from his hard-right flank to avert a shutdown by the end of the month. McCarthy said Wednesday he still has time. Other lawmakers aren't so sure and are looking at other options. McCarthy is trying to pass a temporary bill including 8% cuts to many government services. Hard-line conservatives want more cuts. Even if McCarthy is able to pass the bill, it would be rejected by the Democratic-held Senate, which is working with Republicans on other plans. Kraft Heinz is recalling more than 83,000 cases of individually-wrapped Kraft Singles American processed cheese slices because part of the wrapper could stick to the slice and become a choking hazard. The company says one of its wrapping machines developed a temporary issue that makes it possible for a thin strip of film to remain on the slice even after it's been removed from the wrapper. The machine has since been fixed. Kraft Heinz says it initiated the recall after it received several consumer complaints, but no injuries or serious health issues have been reported. ATLANTA (AP) — An author's clash with a Georgia school district over a brief mention of homosexuality in a presentation highlights the reach of conservatives' push for what what they call parents' rights. Author Marc Tyler Nobleman at first complied with a request not to mention that the son of Batman's co-creator was gay but then rebelled. He and LGBTQ+ advocates say the Forsyth County district in suburban Atlanta was wrong. The district says schools shouldn't engage in such discussions without parents knowing in advance. It's just one example of how schools are censoring LGBTQ+ themes even in states that don't have specific laws banning such talk. MADRID (AP) — Most of Spain's World Cup-winning players have ended their boycott of the women's national team after the government intervened to help shape an agreement to make immediate structural changes at the country's soccer federation. Only two players opted to leave the team's training camp after receiving guarantees from the government that they would not be sanctioned. The rest stayed after being told that some of their demands for reform would be met. The federation soon fired its general secretary to meet one of those demands. Players had reported to camp on Tuesday after being picked by new coach Montse Tomé against their will on Monday in the latest twist in the crisis that has engulfed Spanish soccer. WASHINGTON (AP) — Parents whose kids bought virtual gear without their knowledge on the popular Fortnite video game could soon be able to get a refund. U.S. regulators are starting to notify more than 37 million people by email that they may be eligible for compensation as part of a legal settlement with Fortnite's maker, Epic Games Inc. The Federal Trade Commission announced late last year that Epic Games would pay $520 million in penalties and refunds to settle complaints revolving around children's privacy and its payment methods that tricked players into making unintended purchases. —The Associated Press About this program Host Terry Lipshetz is a senior producer for Lee Enterprises.

This is TRT World's Daily News Brief for Monday, September 11. *) Morocco welcomes limited international rescue teams as time runs out Rescue teams and residents have been scouring the rubble of buildings in the west of Morocco, as the death toll from Friday's earthquake continues to climb. The number of dead is now officially at 2,122 but that's expected to rise. The United Nations estimates 300,000 people have been affected by the earthquake. Three days of mourning began on Sunday, as the government announced it will begin accepting some international offers of help. *) Fresh clashes in Lebanon's Palestinian refugee camp leave many dead, injured Five people have been killed in renewed clashes between rival Palestinian groups in the Ein El Hilweh refugee camp in southern Lebanon, according to Lebanese media. Fifty-two other people were also injured in the violence that erupted between the Fatah movement and armed groups in the camp on Sunday, the National News Agency reported. Fighting between Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement and other armed factions has rocked the El Hilweh refugee camp since Friday. *) Russia 'destroys' two Ukrainian drones over Belgorod region In the latest in the Ukraine war, Russia has said it destroyed two Ukrainian drones close to the border in the Belgorod region. No casualties were reported. The Ministry of Defence said the incident involved two unmanned aerial vehicles and took place early on Sunday. The Belgorod regional governor said the drones were "shot down" over the Yakovlevsky district, which lies to the north and west of the city. *) Thousands rally in Greece as anger mounts against biometric ID cards Thousands of Greeks have rallied in Athens against the impending introduction of biometric ID cards, denouncing what they see as a move towards a surveillance society. The Greek government announced last week that the procedure for obtaining new identity cards would begin on September 25, citing the country's obligation to comply with European regulations. All members of the European Union must issue new biometric cards by 2026 in line with a 2019 treaty. And finally… *) Spanish football chief Rubiales to step down after kiss row Suspended Spanish football federation president Luis Rubiales has said he will resign from his post because of a scandal caused by forcibly kissing a Women's World Cup player.

Spain's football federation has sacked Jorge Vilda, the head coach of its World-Cup-winning women's team. He was a close ally of Luis Rubiales -- the suspended president, who has been under fire for kissing the player Jenni Hermoso on the lips, she says without her consent, as the team celebrated winning the tournament. Also on the programme: why the North Korean leader seems likely to visit Russia's far east to meet President Putin; and why the hosts of the African climate change summit are being sued for inaction.

On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Sept. 6 at 6:50 a.m. CT: Miserable heat is baking the mid-Atlantic, Northeast, Texas and the South. U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken arrived in Ukraine's capital Wednesday for an unannounced visit hours after Russia launched a missile attack on the city, in a trip intended to show confidence in Kyiv's forces amid a grinding counteroffensive. Vice President Kamala Harris says those responsible for the effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and the ensuing violence at the U.S Capitol must be held accountable, including Donald Trump. Egyptian authorities say a four-story apartment building has collapsed in Cairo, killing at least four people. Cairo's governate says three others were injured Wednesday when the building collapse some 2 miles from the city center. It's unclear what caused the collapse. New regulations on short-term rentals have gone into effect in New York City. Officials and housing advocates pushing for the new rules say they're necessary to protect the city's housing stock and to stop apartments from becoming de facto hotels. Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio has been sentenced to 22 years in prison for orchestrating a failed plot to keep Donald Trump in power after the Republican lost the 2020 presidential election.

The coach of Spain's World Cup-winning women's soccer team has been fired. The firing on Tuesday came less than three weeks after the victory celebration that led to the suspension of the country's soccer federation president for kissing a player. Backers of an international agreement that bans cluster munitions are striving to prevent erosion in support for it after what one leading human rights group calls an “unconscionable” U.S. decision to ship such weapons to Ukraine for its fight against Russia.

Adios then, La Roja. Spain's World Cup unravelled on a sad night for this team and this observer. Before I left Education City, I'm sending you this report. If this is goodbye for the great Sergio Busquets, then - wow - it's been a pleasure. But maybe the Spain coach's addiction to his talents restricted La Roja this time in their attempts to break down a spirited opponent. Here's what I thought about the way it all ended - the regrets, the tears and the future for Spain. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is an audio version of our YouTube video. We've picked the 10 best games across Europe this week to preview. Five games on Saturday, five games on Sunday. Let's take a look at what we've got to enjoy. We start with our betting tips for Serbia vs Portugal. The hosts beat Ireland 3-2 last time out, with Aleksandr Mitrovic scoring a superb 35-yard lob. In contrast, Portugal had to settle for a narrow 1-0 win over Azerbaijan, that goal scored through an own goal! Norway put three past Gibraltar in their World Cup Qualifiers opener on Tuesday, but somehow the wonderkid Erling Haaland didn't make the scoresheet. This weekend they play Turkey. The Turks shocked the Netherlands with an impressive 4-2 win, helped by a Burak Yilmaz hat-trick. He's 35 years old for goodness' sake! Frank de Boer's Oranje will be desperate to bounce back following their disappointing start to their campaign, and they couldn't have chosen a better opponent to face than Latvia. The visitors are nowhere near as talented and arrive on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Montenegro. The next game should be a cracker, as Czech Republic host Belgium in Prague. West Ham attacker Tomas Soucek scored a hat-trick in a 6-2 win over Estonia in mid-week, whilst the Red Devils came from behind to beat Wales thanks to goals from Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku and Kevin de Bruyne. Elsewhere, Croatia lost 1-0 to Slovenia and must avoid further heartache when they host minnows Cyprus on Saturday. Into Sunday's action, England head to Albania on the back of their 5-0 thrashing of tiny San Marino. This game may not prove vital for their qualification hopes, with the Three Lions concentrating on next week's clash with Poland. Spain's World Cup campaign didn't get off to the best start by any means, as they drew 1-1 with Greece at home. They'll be keen to bounce back from their Greek tragedy when they head to Georgia. Bulgaria shouldn't cause Italy too many problems. The hosts lost 3-1 to Switzerland earlier in the week – they were three-down within the first 12 minutes – whilst Italy breezed past Northern Ireland. The penultimate game we're previewing sees Kazakhstan take on France. Les Bleus failed to beat Ukraine at home, eventually drawing 1-1 despite Antoine Griezmann's fantastic goal. The Kazakhs are yet to play a WCQ, but their last game was a defeat to Lithuania. The final game of our World Cup Qualifier betting preview sees Germany make their toughest away trip to Bucharest. The Germans beat Iceland in their opener, which was an important result following their 6-0 loss to Spain a couple of weeks prior. This could prove a strong litmus test for their campaign. Eduardo Siles is here to present Odds On. He's joined by Tom Rennie to preview our top 10 games from this week's European World Cup Qualifiers. There's loads of other games but these were our favourite from midweek.
