CNN — Police in Spain arrested a man on suspicion of sexual assault after he appeared to touch a TV journalist on the bottom as she was reporting live from the streets of Madrid.

The man approached Isa Balado, a journalist for the “En boca de todos” program on Spain’s Cuatro channel, as she was reporting on an alleged robbery on Tuesday.

The man can be seen approaching her and then appearing to touch her bottom as she’s talking to presenter Nacho Abad in the studio.

Balado tried to continue with her piece to camera, but Abad asked her if the man had just touched her bottom.

When Balado said he did, Abad asked her to put “this stupid guy” on camera.

The camera then zooms out to show Balado and the man.

“Do you really need to touch my bum?” she asked, before telling him that she’s live on television. “I’d like you to let me work.”

He continued to talk to her, before reaching his hand out to rub her on the head and then eventually walking away.

Balado then continued with the rest of her report.

In a later video segment, Balado commented on what had happened.

“It’s very unpleasant, particularly when you are working,” she said, before the camera panned to show the man standing on the street with another man.

He then approached Balado again and attempted to talk to her before she asked to cut the broadcast.

Widespread criticism

The incident sparked condemnation from Spanish politicians, including labor minister Yolanda Díaz.

“Machismo means that journalists suffer sexual assaults like this and that the aggressors appear in front of the camera unrepentantly,” Díaz wrote in a Tuesday post on X, formerly known as Twitter. “This can’t go unpunished.”

Equality minister Irene Montero also voiced support for Balado.

“Non-consensual touching is sexual violence,” she wrote in a post on X Tuesday. “Only yes means yes.”

The presidential election tribunal has upheld the victory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The tribunal ruled that Nigeria’s main opposition parties failed to prove claims of electoral malpractice against the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 presidential election.

“This petition is hereby declared unmeritorious,” one of the judges said.

APC’s Tinubu had been declared president with approximately a third of the votes ahead of closest rivals Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP).

Abubakar and Obi had asked the court to invalidate the election, alleging irregularities.

Judges rejected all claims made by Obi and Atiku, including fraud, charges electoral authorities broke the law and allegations that Tinubu was ineligible to run.

No legal challenge to the outcome of a presidential election has succeeded in Nigeria since democracy returned in 1999.

Atiku and Obi can appeal to the Supreme Court to dismiss the tribunal’s ruling.

Any appeal must be concluded within 60 days of the date of the tribunal judgement.

The President of the United States of America, Joe Biden, has extended an invitation for discussion to President Bola Tinubu.

According to a statement by the Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, the US Presidential Envoy & Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Ambassador Molly Phee, disclosed this when he visited the Nigerian leader on Saturday.

Phee was quoted to have told President Tinubu that President Biden has requested to meet him on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City to advance discussions further in late September.

The American envoy noted that Tinubu is the only African leader the US President has honoured with such invitation.

“We know there is more we can do to incentivize large-scale American investment in Nigeria and we are committed to working closely with you to achieve that, as part of efforts to strengthen the Nigerian economy and the regional economy.

“We appreciate your willingness to create an enabling environment for that. President Joe Biden is asking to meet with you on the sidelines of UNGA and you are the only African leader he has requested to meet. It is a mark of his high regard for your leadership,” the U.S. Special Envoy said.

Tinubu advised Phee to ensure that US policy is intentionally collaborative with independent African democracies at a time when they are under assault by anti-democratic forces within and outside of the continent.

The President noted that American-backed development finance and multilateral institutions, which were designed to support war-torn Europe after World War II, require swift and comprehensive reform to meet the developmental requirements of younger democracies in Africa, which operate in authoritarian-crowded environments, such that the legitimate yearnings of Africans would no longer be manipulated to serve the narrow aims of self-seeking demagogues through unconstitutional takeovers of power.

“Yes, the private sector will lead the way within an enabling environment we create for them, but the U.S. Government must be innovative in its thinking and systematically create incentives for U.S. industrial investment in Nigeria. Under my leadership, Nigeria stands ready to address their specific regulatory, tax and environmental concerns. I am determined to create prosperity for all Nigerian families,” the President declared.

The Nigerian leader affirmed that the crisis in Niger Republic would not deter him from concluding his economic reform programme successfully for the benefit of Nigerians and that he takes a queue from no nation, but will only advance the interest of the Nigerian state in his approach toward ECOWAS’ handling of the regional standoff.

“We are deep in our attempts to peacefully settle the issue in Niger by leveraging on our diplomatic tools. I continue to hold ECOWAS back, despite its readiness for all options, in order to exhaust all other remedial mechanisms. War is not ideal for my economic reforms, nor for the region, but the defense of democracy is sacrosanct. The ECOWAS consensus is that we will not allow anyone to insincerely buy time,” the ECOWAS Chairman affirmed.

Pledging its support for the position of ECOWAS, the US Special Presidential Envoy expressed the high regard the US Administration has for the leadership of the Chairman of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government.

President Tinubu concluded that he accepts the invitation to meet the U.S. President on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly and that the work of perfecting democracy is never done, even in developed democracies, as seen recently in America, as well as other emerging democracies in the world.

Penguin2:
These are the kind of gibberish that I’ve learnt to ignore on Nairaland but I just had to talk here before they move this to front page like they definitely would.

What proof do you have that the guy that made that tweet is an Obidient?

But even if you get proof that he’s Obidient, does his singular opinion represent the opinion of “Obidients”?

Considering how we have seen nefarious elements pretending to be Obidient to type gibberish online in other to implicate obidients, how are we sure this is not one of them?

How are we sure this guy is not non-aligned?

Or are you indirectly saying that everyone on Twitter is Obidient? Are you finally admitting that Obidients are in insurmountable majority?
