The 7 news you need to know this Tuesday morning, October 24

Hello good morning!

PSOE and Sumar are heading to take the first firm step towards the investiture by presenting, today, a programmatic agreement. He is not the only one in a context almost unimaginable just weeks ago that adds potholes.

PSOE-Sumar Agreement? The negotiations for the investiture are advancing and, in principle, Pedro Sánchez and Yolanda Díaz are finalizing a programmatic agreement that they will stage today. Because the calendar is tight.

The progress in the chapter of the nationalist and independence parties, for its part, also sees new steps. The Government is fine-tuning the draft of the legal text that gives Catalan a place in Europe. The EU is debating it again today.

War and resistance. The deaths in the Middle East these days leave aside the war in Ukraine, which continues to add victims, but it is worth keeping it in mind. Khodorkovsky, former tycoon, opponent of Putin, told this newspaper: “It will be long and Europe will not be favored.”

The war of the story. Despite the bombings of Gaza, which left terrible scenes, Israel takes on the moral struggle against barbarism, and the Jewish hostages in the hands of Hamas speak for themselves. European leaders parade through Tel Aviv; Netanyahu smiles.

However, history teaches against retaliation. The previous wars against terror, in fact, these days send insistent messages that are actually lessons against acting out of revenge. There were other Hamas before.

Freedom versus security, the eternal dilemma when talking about the Internet, takes flight again. The EU is studying reading everything that circulates on the internet to hunt down pedophiles. Detractors fear for privacy even if the scanning is done if authorized by a judge.

The quarry is key. There are already those who call Barça “FC Masia”. It is not for less. The emergence of Marc Guiu, 17 years old, reaffirms here the phenomenon of seeing young people establishing themselves with increasing precocity in the first team compared to the galactic.

José Andrés, chef. “The planet will end up with few habitable areas.” On podcast.

Divorcing without having married is the order of the day when both couples without a wedding and divorces are experiencing a critical moment. Grief, on the other hand, hardly changes compared to when there are children or roles involved. Those who know speak.

Books against bombings. The refuge of the novel is suitable for all types of occasions. Also the wars. It happened during the Nazi London Blitz in World War II. It is now reconstructed as a literary work by former bookseller Annie Lyons.

Gaza… or Singapore? To see what state Gaza is in today, in the midst of the Israeli offensive, is to shake one's head. That is why it is surprising to know that when Yasir Arafat returned from exile, he “wanted to make Gaza a new Singapore.” This is his story.

Sion Serra, doctor of Philosophy; has made a double gender transition. “I wish men were more feminine.” Read it here.
