The 7 news you need to know today

Hello good morning!

Feijóo seems to not have the support to be president, although a handful of socialist turncoats are enough to achieve it. Sánchez cannot lose any deputy if he wants to continue in La Moncloa. Collboni, in Barcelona, ​​tries to distance himself from Colau, but needs his support to govern. There is no politics without alliances.

Popular Party. The conservatives mobilize 40,000 people in the center of Madrid to launch Feijóo's candidacy for the presidency of the Government. Aznar and Rajoy have supported it with a very clear message: the amnesty blows up the framework of coexistence.

Socialists. Pedro Sánchez celebrates the PSC Rose Festival in Gavà, certain that he will be president again. He does not hide, however, a certain nervousness about the PP's maneuvers to obtain four turncoats.

Barcelona. Collboni has been in office for 100 days and has not yet formed a government coalition. In fact, he lives in the contradiction of distancing himself from Colau and needing his support. Trías affirms that he does not contribute anything new since he has supported Colau for five and a half years.

Colombia. The country lives in uncertainty. The progressive government is weighed down by the corruption of the president's son. His predecessor, Álvaro Uribe, is burdened by accusations from the military, who blame him for being behind the death of 6,402 innocent people in the final fight against the guerrillas.

Middle East. Israel and Saudi Arabia are seeking an agreement they need to consolidate their interests in the technology sector. The Palestinian question, however, seems to be an insurmountable obstacle today.

Job. As life expectancy increases, retirement age lengthens. We live longer and better, but the question is whether or not we have the right to retire when we are still in good health and have years ahead of us.

Living place. Real estate developers celebrate that in Barcelona the requirement to allocate 30% of each new development to social housing will be eliminated. They say there are investors interested in transforming obsolete offices into homes.

Athletics. Tigist Assefa ran the Berlin Marathon in 2.11.53, a new world record. The Ethiopian athlete, who just a year ago specialized in the queen of athletics, has lowered the previous mark by more than two minutes.

Cinema. Carlos Saura recalls in his posthumous memoirs how at the age of 10 he fell captive to cinema. Anything was worth it to not miss a movie. It didn't matter skipping classes or stealing money from his parents for admission.

Astrophysics. Yesterday was an important day for humanity. This is what NASA scientists say when recovering the space probe that, after seven years of travel, returned to Earth with samples from the asteroid Bennu. These rocks can reveal the mystery about the origin of life.
