With today’s data, the accumulated growth for the whole year is already 2.2%, therefore, the forecast is on track to be met.

A Louisiana father shot and killed eight children, including seven of his own, in an attack on his family Sunday morning that spanned two homes in a Shreveport neighborhood shocked by one of the country’s deadliest mass shootings in recent years, police said. Two women, including the attacker’s wife —the children’s mother—, were also seriously injured, according to Chris Bordelon, a spokesperson for the Shreveport Police Department. Authorities noted that the children —all killed in the same house— were between 3 and 11 years old. The attacker, identified as 31-year-old Shamar Elkins, died after a police chase that ended when officers opened fire on him, according to Bordelon.

Junts keeps its distance from the PSOE after the European ruling that supports the amnesty

Both Junts and the PSOE –also Esquerra Republicana– expected a ruling that would endorse the Amnesty law in European justice, but sharing that goal does not bring the positions of the two political groups closer. From JxCat they emphasized this Friday that nothing changes in the political sphere, although within the socialist ranks they hoped that a favorable ruling and a possible return of the party leader, Carles Puigdemont, could help build bridges and grease again a relationship that has not flowed since last autumn. “This changes nothing,” said today the secretary general of JxCat, Jordi Turull, who made it clear that he has not spoken with the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and that they do not plan to do so.

From Lamine Yamal to Zendaya: when the gods have fun with celebrities

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.

Spain-Argentina: The Finalissima

Spain-Argentina: The Finalissima

Alen Craig04 mins

What could not happen on March 27 in Doha will become a reality next Sunday in New York. The Finalissima, which was supposed to pit the European champion against the champion of America and the world, will take place with the universal title at stake. In spring, the conflict between the United States and Israel with Iran, which destabilized the region and the world in general, prevented Spain and Argentina from facing each other in the second official match in their entire history. That match will now be much more important. Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal will face each other for the first and presumably last time on a playing field. 39 years and longevity records for the Argentine. 19 and precocity marks for the Spanish. The best player in history against the leader of the new generation of footballers.
