This week, we discuss the case of Anna and Olivia, two little girls who were allegedly killed by their father, and look at how an expected “bilateral” conversation between the leaders of Spain and the US turned into a quick hallway chat
This week on our Spanish news podcast, we look at the tragic case of Anna and Olivia, two little girls who are thought to have been murdered by their father in Spain’s Canary Islands, and discuss the broader problem of gender violence in Spain.
We also explain how an announced “bilateral meeting” between Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and US President Joe Biden turned into a hallway chat that lasted less than a minute.
As usual, we also catch up on all of your correspondence and take a look at the other stories of the week that have caught our eye.
¿Qué? is a podcast that tries to explain to an English-speaking audience the curious, the under-reported and sometimes simply bizarre news stories that are often in the headlines in Spain.
