The plane that transported Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky from Moldova to Oslo on Tuesday, where he attended the funeral of King Harald of Norway, was nearly hit by a drone, according to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
This scorching summer has offered scenes never seen before in Europe. Seaplanes drawing water from the Seine to extinguish the fire in Fontainebleau, in the historic hunting forest of the kings of France. The Rhine and the Danube at their lowest flow levels and almost unfit for navigation. Forest fires in Wales, on the border between Belgium and Germany, on the beaches of Croatia.
NATO has withdrawn the security clearance of a Spanish Navy officer stationed at the Alliance base in Northwood, northwest of London, due to his connection with an alleged Russian spy, reported the British newspaper The Telegraph and confirmed to EFE by Navy sources.
Ferran Torres, author of the goal that gave Spain the second World Cup in its history, is on a promotional tour in the United States. In an interview granted to the American program Today, on the NBC network, the Spanish international avoided guaranteeing his continuity at Barcelona. “I have a contract with Barça, but in football, you never know. I just hope to make the right decision,” he replied when asked about the team he will play for next season. Asked about what his ideal club would be, Ferran responded with a phrase as brief as it was meaningful: “To be happy.” Luis Enrique’s PSG maintains its interest in the Valencian forward, although Barcelona insists that they do not consider his departure and do consider a renewal. In any case, with a contract until June 2027, Ferran has not yet started talks with the club to extend his link. Barcelona’s intention was to address the renewal once the summer market ends in September, provided there is no unexpected turn in the coming weeks. This will not be Ferran Torres’s only interview. During his tour of the United States, which will last until next Thursday, he has scheduled others with the country’s main media outlets such as CNN.
Barça wants to close the signing of Rodri as soon as possible. In the offices of Camp Nou, they are aware of the strategic importance of bringing in the MVP of the last World Cup, leader of Manchester City for the past seven years, which is why the Barça sports management, led by Deco, began negotiations with Manchester City yesterday. There is no time to lose in trying to reach an agreement after the player stood up Real Madrid and firmly chose the Barça club.
The wooden doors of most of the nearly 200 vaulted shops surrounding the outer part of the grand Naqsh-e Jahan square are closed. The printed fabrics, carpets, carved copper objects, among other products sold in this bazaar that has fascinated tourists for centuries, now gone, are kept inside by order of the authorities. Many of the families who usually take advantage of this time on a spring day to have a picnic have not arrived either, much less the teenage girls – many of them without veils – who enjoy riding around the square on electric motorcycles.
The first curve of Martínez Catena Avenue, the road that runs along the southern coastal area of Ceuta, serves to quite accurately predict whether it will be a day of migratory pressure in the autonomous city. From there, in the background, you can glimpse Tarajal beach. Unless the dense fog that often appears during many summer days prevents seeing the border with Morocco. That white curtain, besides announcing stifling heat, helps immigrants who try to swim to the Spanish coast avoid being detected. Foggy night, early morning of irregular arrivals.
The King entered this Tuesday the plenary hall of the Palau de Congressos in Barcelona welcomed by applause, surrounded by the president of the Cercle, Teresa García Milà, and the president of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa, and urged Europe to wake up and regain its pride above the criticisms it receives in these turbulent times. “To the most skeptical, it should be reminded that one of the constants of the construction of united Europe has been to make real what seemed a distant aspiration, even a utopia. The entire integration process has been a journey from the improbable and extremely complex to the real and tangible.”
A federal judge temporarily blocked on Friday President Donald Trump’s initiative to create a $1.776 billion fund to compensate people who claim to have been subject to the “instrumentalization” of the federal government during the Joe Biden administration.
The new law of the Community of Madrid, which recognizes the conceived unborn as an additional member of the family unit to access certain public aids, has once again brought to the table what the legal recognition of the unborn (nasciturus) is in Spain. The question takes on special relevance in extreme situations, such as when a woman loses the pregnancy due to a traffic accident or a terrorist attack. In those cases, the legal treatment of that loss is not always the same and varies depending on the area of Law.
