The Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, reported this Tuesday that his department has registered 164 people of Spanish nationality missing in Colombia after the earthquake that the country suffered this Monday, but that it has no record of injured or deceased nationals.
This Monday the earth opened under Valle del Cauca, in Colombia. A 7.4 magnitude earthquake, with its epicenter in San José del Palmar, shook the southwest of the country and caused significant damage in Cali, Pereira, and Quibdó, adding to the long list of tremors that have hit Latin America this year. It came weeks after a much deadlier tragedy on the west coast of Caracas, when two earthquakes separated by just 39 seconds collapsed buildings and left a death toll that today is around 6,000.
Around the world, young people are entering the labor market for the first time at a particularly challenging moment, marked both by the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and the rise of geopolitical tensions. After reaching its lowest level in two decades two years ago, the global youth unemployment rate rose by one-tenth in 2025, to 12.4%, according to the Global Employment Trends for Youth 2026: Back to the Future report, prepared by the International Labour Organization (ILO), which publishes this study biennially. This amounts to about 67 million unemployed people aged 15 to 24 worldwide.
On July 8, after the NATO summit in Ankara (Turkey) ended, Donald Trump announced to the world that he was going to board his “old Air Force One,” instead of the one Qatar gave him this year, the Boeing 747-8 he had been using and had brought on the outbound trip. The president boarded the presidential plane, a scene captured by television cameras, but minutes later he was secretly transferred to a third, smaller one, the Air Force C-32. The Secret Service made this extraordinary and unprecedented decision after detecting a credible assassination threat from Iran, according to an exclusive report tonight by The Washington Post and confirmed by other U.S. media.
The central Government intends to “prioritize,” as Territorial Policy Minister Ángel Víctor Torres assured yesterday, the family reunification of unaccompanied migrant minors who remain in Ceuta after crossing en masse to the autonomous city on July 30 and 31. But this route, now prioritized over relocation to other autonomous communities, presents serious difficulties. Among them, the full cooperation of the countries of origin, but also the willingness of the minor to return to the place they fled from. Hence, an open door, which the Government hinted at yesterday, is the possibility that these adolescents, mostly Moroccan, be reunited with relatives who already live in other parts of Spain or even in other European countries.
Danish MPs return to work on Wednesday. On the day’s agenda is the processing of several bills, but first they will have to debate an urgent interpellation. What issue worries Danish legislators so much as to deserve that attention…
“Do not risk their lives, their money, their future in an adventure doomed to failure.” On his first official visit to the autonomous city of Ceuta – the first ever by a Foreign Minister in the history of Spain – José Manuel Albares delivered a strong message this Tuesday to those planning to cross illegally into Ceuta, Melilla, or the Peninsula, guaranteeing that “even the last person who has entered irregularly will be returned to Morocco.”
At least 164 people died, according to initial Reuters data, and more than 570 were injured in Colombia due to the magnitude 7.4 earthquake that shook the country this Monday, according to a provisional report from the Colombian Association of Capital Cities (Asocapitales).
Colombia faces the consequences of a 7.4 magnitude earthquake that shook much of the country this Monday and has left a provisional toll of more than one hundred dead.

The tremor was also strongly felt in cities such as Bogotá, Cali, Medellín, and Manizales, where significant damage has been reported.
The 7.4 magnitude earthquake that has caused dozens of deaths in Colombia, as well as numerous damages, was particularly severe in the department of Risaralda, where five hours after the earthquake at least 40 deaths were already counted out of the total of more than 70 from the earthquake. Of these, 18 were recorded in the capital, Pereira.
