STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSMADRID - Spain's soccer federation stood firmly by its president, Luis Rubiales, on Saturday even as he faces a storm of criticism for grabbing star player Jenni Hermoso's head and kissing her on the lips after Spain's Women's World Cup victory.
The Spain women's team has also mutinied. In a joint statement sent via their FUTPRO union on Friday evening, all 23 of the cup-winning squad including Hermoso, as well as 32 other squad members, said they would not play internationals while Rubiales remains head of the federation. "Where there is rule of law ... opinions are counteracted with facts and evidence, and lies are rebutted in court."
Rubiales had been widely expected to resign at an emergency meeting of the federation on Friday. Instead he said repeatedly that he would not quit and complained that"false feminists" were"trying to kill me".

BOJ will keep current policy until at least July 2024, most economists say: Reuters pollThe Bank of Japan will start downscaling its massive monetary easing only in a year's time, the majority of economists said in a Reuters poll, as speculation for further policy shifts abated after a surprise yield control tweak last month. At the July 27-28 meeting, the BOJ modified its yield curve control (YCC) scheme and allowed interest rates to rise more flexibly, a measure officially targeted to sustain easing but seen by markets as a prelude to dismantling decades of stimulus. Only one of 22 economists, or 5%, expected the BOJ to start unwinding its ultra-easy policy this year, the Aug 15-23 poll found, significantly down from 50% in a July survey.
