Hello good morning!
The inequality between communities in Spain is increasing, the scorched earth policy in Ukraine or the Negreira case in the League, but tonight was the night of Oscars and Everything at the same time everywhere the big winner.
The most important film awards returned last night for their 95th edition with the still fresh memory of Will Smith’s slap to Chris Rock last year. Nothing similar was repeated. The delusional All at once everywhere was the great protagonist.
This film accumulates seven statuettes, among them for best films and direction. And Michelle Yeoh, a centerpiece in it, for best actress. Actor Brendan Fraser also rises from his ashes and wins the best actor award for The Whale.
Los Angeles thus hosted a ceremony that began differently on the red carpet itself since this time it was not red but champagne, but it did not have unimaginable shocks. The German All Quiet on the Front, that yes, wins four Oscars!
The Basque Country continues to be, according to the latest data, the richest territory per inhabitant in Spain despite the push from Madrid. Even more important: the financial crisis of 2008 slowed down the convergence of the poorest regions.
The scorched-earth policy in the Ukraine war brings bad news: the bombs leave a poisonous imprint on the country for several generations. A million projectiles fall each month on its soil, the majority in agricultural areas.
In limbo. Artificial intelligence is increasingly present in our day to day. It is also wanted for the fight against crime. Especially for facial recognition. Aena, Renfe, football, transport… they want it. It is illegal. But it is debated.
Barcelona faces a complex present. In LaLiga they beat Athletic 0-1 at San Mamés and take advantage of Madrid in the lead. In the Negreira case for his payments to the former vice president of the referees committee, everything gets muddy. “A second”, they sing to him.

Biases also occur in scientific research. And for this reason, today in this area, the “vagina, that forgotten object of research…” is still repeated. “The surfaces of Mars and the depths of the sea are more studied,” he adds.
Childophobia in the hospitality industry? The controversy jumps again due to a clash between hoteliers and families in Madrid. But it is repeated from time to time. The data, on the other hand, indicates that more adults than children tend to cause discomfort.
Minors worry in several directions. Here, for the cases of sexual abuse that have them as protagonists. There because it is known that Ukraine is the country in Europe with the most minors in children’s institutions after Russia and the war is now aggravating their situation.
