Spain's #MeToo moment?

Ben and Tommy talk about the fallout after Spain's head soccer official kissed star player Jennifer Hermoso, BRICS announcing the addition of six countries, Donald Trump's musings on the Panama Canal, and a report that the US was aware of Saudi Arabia's torture and killing of African migrants. They also discuss France's ban on students wearing the Abaya in schools, former French president Nicolas Sarkozy's memoir and defense of Russia, Zimbabwe's disputed election, far right Israeli politician Ben-Gvir's racist statement, and India's lunar landing. Then Ben is joined by Joshua Yaffa, contributing writer for The New Yorker, to discuss his profile of Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin and what his rise and fall tell us about Russia.
