The performance of Ignatius Farray in Vitoria ended up becoming a night to remember for reasons very different from those expected. The Canarian comedian suffered a spectacular fall from the stage of the Teatro Félix Petite in Vitoria while performing El show de Ignatius, an accident that required him to be taken to the hospital. Despite the hard hit, he decided to complete the show before being treated and, hours later, downplayed what happened with one of his usual ironies.

Elsa Pataky (Madrid, 1976) was not content with being the pretty face of Al salir de clase. Daughter of a Spanish biochemist and a Romanian advertiser, she experienced the fortune of a childhood with two cultures and the sorrow of her parents’ separation at four years old. The surname she uses was taken from her maternal grandmother, and the vocation of her life, from her grandfather, the Romanian actor Mircea Medianu. She combined her ambition as an actress with a plan B and studied Journalism at CEU San Pablo University while training in Dramatic Arts.

The meeting is part of private activities of the daughters of the Kings who maintain contacts with different social groups to learn, firsthand and in a close setting, about their various issues.

He hasn’t won the Lottery or the ONCE Cuponazo, but it doesn’t matter. Fortune has taken a fancy to Lamine Yamal. We already know how the gods deal with humans. The star of the Spanish national team may be having a better or worse World Cup, but that is irrelevant to the case at hand. The Barça youth player is living what is undoubtedly one of the best weeks of his life.

The Japanese Parliament approved this Friday the reform of the imperial house law to mitigate the issue of the gradual reduction of the Japanese imperial family —in crisis for years due to the lack of male heirs in the family—, but the modification of the rule maintained the traditional system of succession to the throne exclusively through the male line, despite public support for the possibility of having empresses of royal blood.

The historic photograph in which a young Lionel Messi appears alongside a baby Lamine Yamal has gone viral again.
