Hello good morning!

The heat wave clouds the present and the future as does the blockade of Ukrainian grain, the results of 23-J in places like Catalonia or the need to relocate strategic industries to preserve jobs.

The heat, we insist, is not to be taken as a joke. Spain is experiencing a second wave of extreme heat these days, but these sweltering temperatures are spreading throughout the northern hemisphere. The influence of El Niño and climate change is recalculated.

Rome is a good example of what is happening because although the thermometer will leave half of Spain “at risk” today, the eternal city is preparing to break its own temperature record. “It’s hell”, say the laments for this new normality.

La Palma is also another of its focuses of attention, but due to a parallel problem: that of fire, since the island fights against time to stop three active sources before the time change arrives. Thousands are affected.

Not all votes count the same for the electoral result of 23-J. In small provinces, it is already known, its value differs as the influence that what happens in Catalonia might have differs: Feijóo is looking for a result here that makes a difference.

Strategic industries are needed as much as strategic products and that is why the announcement of the construction of a new plant to assemble battery cells by Seat in Martorell is key. Also to keep jobs.

Ukrainian grain is essential to the basic diet of many countries. They paint rough: Moscow suspends the agreement on its transit after an attack on the Crimean bridge. Erdogan hopes to reactivate it in August. Latin America, meanwhile, maybe it will help?

The cluster bomb, for its part, is the unpopular weapon with which Kyiv has been made, discarded as it is in many other countries for its devastating effect. Why use it then? “It will make up for the lack of Ukrainian ammunition” denoting the counteroffensive, is launched.

When a couple breaks up, the zero contact technique is often repeated as popular advice. Now, does it serve to overcome the breakup? It is not always possible, especially in families or when sharing work and friends, but therapists defend it.

Vacation = reading time. Summer is usually a favorable time to resume an old reading or to start others. Among the alternative recommendations, these eight gastronomy classics stand out.

Spanish Nazism experienced both its rise and fall in the 1930s and 1940s and, seen with perspective, it is said: “The most extreme Nazi postulates had little chance of taking root in a country with a Catholic tradition.” Opportunism takes its toll.
