The long-awaited summit between China and the U.S. kicked off this Thursday in Beijing, with apparent harmony between Presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump. Despite the commercial focus, the shadow of Iran and Taiwan looms over the meeting from the start. Xi, in fact, pointed out that the Taiwan issue is the most important in the relationship between China and the U.S.: “This will be stable if handled well, otherwise there will be clashes and even conflicts, which will pose a great danger.”

The twelve-month Euribor will close April around 2.742% (with one data point pending to close the month), which represents its highest level since the end of 2024 and confirms the trend change started in March. The indicator rises 0.177 points compared to the previous month and 0.599 points compared to the same period in 2025, when it stood at 2.143%. This increase consolidates a scenario of rising credit costs after months of stability, in a context marked by geopolitical uncertainty and inflation expectations.
The radio earthquake from last week has not left any aftershocks on Monday morning. If Àngels Barceló has been all gratitude on the microphone for her advance farewell to Hoy por Hoy, Carlos Alsina, who is leaving —only partially— the Onda Cero morning show, has praised his future co-host and has thanked the leniency that his alarm clock will have in the next radio season.
Josefina Molina (Córdoba, 1936), director of works such as Función de noche, Esquilache, or the series Teresa de Jesús, dedicated a good part of her life to demonstrating that the female perspective was not an exception in the history of cinema, but an essential part of it. A pioneer of Spanish audiovisual, the first woman to graduate in Directing from the Official Film School and the first filmmaker to receive the Honorary Goya, she turned each project into a claim for female freedom to tell their own stories. “To see the world in relief you have to have two eyes and Humanity has been one-eyed for too long,” Molina stated. The sentence ended up becoming the best summary of a life dedicated to broadening the perspective of cinema. The director passed away this Saturday in Madrid at the age of 89. The wake will take place at the Boadilla del Monte funeral home starting at 16:00 hours.

After almost six hours answering questions in the trial for the ‘Operation Kitchen’ held at the National Court, National Police Chief Inspector Manuel Morocho was eager to speak more. During the two sessions that his testimony lasted, the officer who led investigations such as Gürtel or the Bárcenas Papers recounted how he corroborated the existence of “a police operation without judicial authorization” targeting the former treasurer of the Popular Party Luis Bárcenas, how he suffered pressure not to include the name of former Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy in one of his reports, how the Ministry of the Interior at the time deployed “a strategy to dismantle” his police group, and how he found “indications” that his office and vehicle were monitored to conduct surveillance on him. “I don’t know if I can say something,” he asked the court president, Teresa Palacios, as she was dismissing him. At that moment, a nearly unanimous “no” was heard from the defendants’ bench, almost entirely. “The PP’s black beast,” as he recalled they called him yesterday, left without revealing that “thing” he still had to say. Although what he did say, exposing Kitchen, was not few.
