Spain's Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has given 11 of his 17 cabinet posts to women, a higher proportion than anywhere else in Europe.

Mr Sánchez's choice was in marked contrast to the male-dominated executives of ex-PM Mariano Rajoy, who was ousted last week.

Women are given some of the biggest jobs including the defence, economy, finance and education portfolios.
