El comercio entre Canadá y Estados Unidos mueve entre 800.000 y 900.000 millones de dólares cada año. Funciona desde hace años a las mil maravillas gracias a la cercanía geográfica, la infraestructura compartida, el idioma común y unos estándares empresariales similares. Ambas economías no solo intercambian productos terminados, también los fabrican juntas. La industria del automóvil, por ejemplo, está tan entrelazada que las piezas cruzan la frontera varias veces, el energético también, Canadá aporta cerca del 60% de las importaciones de petróleo estadounidense. Esa relación, ya deteriorada desde el año pasado, se rompió la madrugada de este sábado. Minutos antes de expirar el plazo fijado por Trump, las conversaciones se interrumpieron porque los negociadores canadienses decidieron levantarse de la mesa. El primer ministro Mark Carney aplicó su máxima de que mejor es ningún acuerdo que uno malo. Días antes, Trump había anunciado precipitadamente un acuerdo que rebajaba los aranceles del acero y aluminio (del 50% al 25%) y del automóvil (del 25% al 15%). Pero una serie de detalles hizo que descarrilase en el último momento. Los fabricantes de derivados del acero y el aluminio exigieron mantener los aranceles sobre los transformados. A ello se sumaron exigencias de última hora sobre los etiquetados en francés, una lengua que es oficial en la provincia de Quebec, y sobre el automóvil, donde Estados Unidos se empeñó en excluir a los camiones medianos y pesados del alivio arancelario. Carney lo denunció como una cuestión de soberanía con una frase corta y sentenciosa: "pedían demasiado y ofrecían muy poco”. Trump recurrió a la Sección 338 de la Ley Arancelaria de 1930, algo que nunca se había empleado antes, alegando discriminación comercial. La excusa es muy débil. El déficit comercial que Estados Unidos tiene con Canadá se debe en exclusiva a las importaciones de crudo pesado para el que muchas refinerías estadounidenses, especialmente del medio oeste, están adaptadas desde hace mucho tiempo. El daño inmediato es relativamente asumible, afecta al 5% de las exportaciones y eleva el tipo efectivo del 5% al 7,5%, pero desigual, los plásticos, los químicos, la madera y la maquinaria cargarán con lo peor. Lo más grave es la desconfianza que se ha instalado en la relación bilateral en un momento económicamente muy delicado para Canadá. La represalia, prevista para el 8 de septiembre, podría empujar la inflación hasta el 4% y destruir unos 90.000 empleos. Carney disfruta por ahora de un amplio apoyo interno pero tiene que equilibrar un tablero político muy complejo. En octubre se celebrará un referéndum en Alberta en el que podrían plantearse la independencia y poco antes habrá elecciones provinciales en Quebec y los nacionalistas encabezan las encuestas. Su apuesta consiste en ganar tiempo. Ha retrasado dos semanas las represalias y espera que las elecciones de medio mandato devuelvan a Trump a la mesa de negociación. Pero es una apuesta, no una certeza. La firmeza tiene fecha de caducidad y esa viene marcada por el bolsillo de los canadienses. Carney ha comprado tiempo a cambio de dinero, y ese tiempo solo juega a su favor si Trump lo ve muy negro en noviembre.

Este domingo dos encapuchados a bordo de una motocicleta irrumpieron en la barriada de El Rocío, en Isla Cristina (Huelva), y descargaron varias ráfagas de arma larga contra un grupo de personas. Murieron tres de ellas, una mujer de 39 años embarazada de 8 meses, su madre de 62 y un joven de 16 que pasaba por allí. Otras dos personas resultaron heridas. Los agresores quemaron después la motocicleta en un pinar cercano para borrar sus rastros. La Guardia Civil apunta a un ajuste de cuentas entre los clanes Moriña y Salazar, una vendetta familiar tras la que se encuentra el problema del tráfico de drogas en la zona del estrecho y todo el sur peninsular. El suceso, de hecho, no se entiende sin el narcotráfico que lleva décadas transformando esta parte de España. El estrecho de Gibraltar que tiene solo 14 kilómetros de anchura en su punto más angosto, ha sido desde siempre la puerta de entrada del hachís marroquí. Las narcolanchas, propulsadas por motores muy potentes de entre 1.000 y 1.500 caballos, pueden cruzar el estrecho en apenas 15 minutos y dejar la carga en territorio europeo. Alrededor de este negocio se ha ido conformando una infraestructura de almacenes para la mercancía, puntos de repostaje en alta mar y vigilantes. Mano de obra no les ha faltado ya que los narcotraficantes pagan bien a quienes trabajan para ellos. En muchas localidades este tráfico se ha convertido en una saneada fuente de ingresos para mucha gente, por lo que la ley del silencio dificulta cualquier investigación. La presión policial sostenida sobre el Campo de Gibraltar ha provocado un desplazamiento hacia el oeste. La costa de Huelva y más concretamente la desembocadura del Guadiana se han convertido en auténticas autopistas para el narco. El salto del hachís a la cocaína, procedente de Colombia y destinada al mercado europeo, ha multiplicado los márgenes y la violencia. Las bandas van armadas ahora con fusiles de asalto y armamento de guerra. La respuesta más ambiciosa arrancó en 2018 con el Plan Especial del Campo de Gibraltar y la creación del OCON-Sur, unidad de élite de la Guardia Civil que en cuatro años practicó más de 10.000 detenciones e incautó más de 1.400 toneladas de droga. En el verano de 2022 el ministerio del Interior la disolvió de forma inexplicable. Las incautaciones cayeron y el narcotráfico se expandió desde la costa almeriense hasta Sevilla capital. La violencia se ha disparado. En febrero de 2024 murieron dos guardias civiles en el puerto de Barbate embestidos por una narcolancha, en mayo de 2025 fallecieron otros dos frente a Huelva y en octubre murió un agente portugués en el Guadiana. En abril se intervino en Gibraleón el mayor alijo de cocaína de la historia junto a un arsenal excepcional. Tres factores explican este auge. El económico porque un fardo de cocaína cuesta 15.000 euros al por mayor y se vende por 50.000 o 60.000. El organizativo, una estructura atomizada que se reorganiza rápidamente. Y el social, con barriadas en las que un piloto de lancha gana 40.000 o 50.000 euros por viaje. Frente a eso poco opone el Estado, las patrulleras escasean, la geografía juega en su contra y falta coordinación entre España, Portugal y Marruecos. Isla Cristina resume un problema que ha dejado de ser local y exige abordarse como un asunto de Estado.

On the northeastern tip of Morocco, just south of Gibraltar, the Spanish city Ceuta was recently overwhelmed by Moroccan migrants. At the end of last month, tens of thousands of Moroccans flooded border crossings, or tried to get around them by swimming in the Strait of Gibraltar. Dozens of people died in the attempt. Now, while the majority of the migrants have been returned to Morocco, hundreds, if not thousands, still remain in Ceuta, struggling to access food and water, while inflamed anti-immigrant sentiment tears at the fabric of the city, and European Union at large. Host Caryn Ceolin is speaking with Gerald Knaus, President of the European Stability Initiative, about the crisis, what's behind it, and the political upheaval in Europe, as the far-right continues to make gains in major nations on the backs of anti-migration seeker sentiment.

 After a three-week summer break, Lesley Riddoch and Fraser Thompson return to dissect Scotland's political landscape. From Anas Sarwar's sudden elevation to the House of Lords to Nicola Sturgeon taking public lumps out of John Swinney in the paperback edition of her book and in interviews, the pair unpack the internal friction, leadership manoeuvring, and communication breakdowns across Scottish politics.Meanwhile, as Europe and the Cairngorms burn amidst record heat, the hosts examine the stark realities of climate change, food inflation, and the ongoing tug-of-war over North Sea oil licences. Add in lessons on local democracy from Sweden, Icelandic EU ambitions, and a trip to the Killin Highland Games, and this return episode covers the full political and cultural spectrum.In this episode, we discuss:Anas Sarwar's Peerage & The Scottish Labour Leadership: We unpack Anas Sarwar taking a seat in the House of Lords and stepping into a UK trade role, leaving Scottish Labour in a lurch. Lesley and Fraser critique the party's defensive media spin and analyse the upcoming leadership race—looking at why candidates like Monica Lennon and Michael Marra face structural hurdles while South Lanarkshire Council leader Joe Fagan emerges as the party machinery's favoured pick.Nicola Sturgeon vs. John Swinney: Former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon re-emerges at the Edinburgh Book Festival to criticise John Swinney's campaign and vision. Fraser compares her interventions to Margaret Thatcher's post-power backseat driving, while Lesley highlights insider reactions—including Liz Lloyd's sharp observation that while the party respected Nicola, members love John Swinney.Rosebank, European Wildfires & Climate Economics: With wildfires raging from Southern Europe to Nethy Bridge in the Cairngorms, we look at the climate crisis hitting home. We examine First Minister John Swinney's hesitation over North Sea licences like Rosebank and Jackdaw, BP's scale-back in the North Sea, and expert warnings that 40% of recent food inflation is directly linked to climate-driven agricultural disruption.Iceland's EU Referendum & International Borders: We look at Iceland's upcoming referendum on restarting EU accession negotiations, analysing how the bloc courts a nation of 355,000—and what potential fishing opt-outs mean for Scotland's constitutional future. Plus, we look at the pragmatic border deal reached in Gibraltar.Manchester Apathy vs. Swedish Democracy: Following the Greater Manchester mayoral by-election, we discuss winner Bev Craig and the dismal 25% voter turnout. Lesley contrasts Britain's top-down regional mayor model with Sweden's hyper-local democracy, where 290 municipal councils collect basic income tax and command 90% voter turnouts.Coigach Filming & Highland Games Catch-Up: Fraser recounts his time at the Commonwealth Games, while Lesley shares updates on her documentary filming in Coigach and Strathnaver, commemorating the 1852 clearance protests at the newly opened An Lòrg stone circle.Links & Mentioned Events:Bute Highland Games: Saturday, 22nd August in Rothesay. https://butehighlandgames.org/  ★ Support this podcast ★

La situación en Ceuta es insostenible por la llegada masiva de personas desde Marruecos, con el CETI sobresaturado. El gobierno planea el reparto de más de 1300 menores, pero varias comunidades, especialmente las gobernadas por Vox, se niegan a acogerlos, provocando una advertencia de la Fiscalía General del Estado. Un ex agente del CNI, Jaime Rocha, asegura que el servicio de inteligencia alertó sobre la crisis con antelación y critica la respuesta tardía del gobierno, destacando la importancia geopolítica del Estrecho de Gibraltar y la soberanía de Ceuta y Melilla. España se prepara para un eclipse total de sol histórico el próximo miércoles, un evento no visto desde 1912 que atrae a millones de turistas. Se detallan precauciones para su observación y el despliegue de 24.000 agentes de la Guardia Civil para la seguridad. Se destaca el proyecto "Ayúdame 3D", liderado por Guillermo Gaunas, que fabrica prótesis impresas en 3D para personas con pocos recursos en más de 70 países, ...

Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode of your go-to darts podcast after the latest Players Championship double header.   The boys kick off the show with a look back at last week's ProTour action in Hildesheim, which saw Henry Coates become just the fifth non tour-card holder to win a Players Championship title, and Sebastian Bialecki double his own ProTour title tally to take a big step towards a debut at the World Grand Prix later this season.   Henry Coates (21:40) calls in to reflect on a memorable week in Germany last week, winning his first PDC senior title at Players Championship 25. The 20-year-old looks back on his career so far, from playing in his local pub league at eight years old to captaining an England team that included Luke Littler to JDC World Cup glory in Gibraltar. Henry chats about his experiences as a top up player on the ProTour over the last 12 months, his eye-catching run to a semi-final earlier this summer, and then his breakthrough run in Hildesheim last week and becoming the youngest non tour-card holder to win a Players Championship in the tour card era.   Alex and Burton continue their recap of last week's action in Germany with a look back at the latest five event block of Development Tour events, picking out the players who caught their eye over the weekend.   Derek Coulson (46:22) joins the show to look back on a landmark victory in Champions Week at the MODUS Super Series. The Welshman reflects on a dramatic finals night at the cathedral of darts, which included a nine-dart shootout, and going on to beat Ashley Coleman in the final to add his name to the Champions Week roll of honour. Derek also chats about his recent appearances as a top up player on the ProTour, being in the hunt for a PDC tour card and PDC World Darts Championship debut via the Challenge Tour rankings, and explains why he switched to the Condor 120 three-fin flights and it being a big part of his success so far in 2026.   The boys wrap up the show by discussing the recent confirmation from the PDC chief executive Matt Porter on this show that the PDC will be introducing a new major ranking event on the calendar in the first half of 2027.   *** Get your own Alex Moss replica shirt (as worn by our co-host at the Las Vegas Open 2026) from DJD here!

No podemos criticar a Marruecos por chantajear a España, porque no hace más que defender sus intereses. Es lo mismo que sucedió con Gibraltar. A Sánchez no le importa otra cosa que seguir en La Moncloa. Por eso, no le preocupan las derrotas que sufrimos mientras sirvan a sus intereses. Lo de Gibraltar fue uno de los mayores despropósitos de nuestra Historia. 

Les images ne vous ont sûrement pas échappé, celles de dizaines de milliers de personnes affluant vers l'enclave espagnole de Ceuta, situé en territoire marocain, proche du détroit de Gibraltar. Et comme bien souvent, trop souvent, cette situation aura conduit 77 exilés vers la mort… Une très large partie a été renvoyée vers les Maroc.L'extrême-droite, jamais les derniers dès qu'il faut faire de la récupération politique, en a profité pour fustiger le gouvernement social-démocrate de Pedro Sanchez. L'espace Schengen a lui aussi été mis en cause (alors que Ceuta obéit déjà à des règles particulières, mais bon…). Le Maroc a aussi été pointé du doigt par l'Union Européenne et l'Espagne. Comment analyser une vague migratoire si soudaine ? A qui ou à quoi l'attribuer ? Que dire de la gestion européenne et espagnole de cette crise ?Afin de répondre à cette multitude d'interrogations, Irving Magi a reçu Brigitte Espuche, coordinatrice et chargée d'étude pour Migreurop, ainsi que Khadija Mohsen-Finan, politologue et ex-enseignante à l'université Panthéon-Sorbonne et membre du comité de rédaction d'Orient XXI.

Callum Smiles joins Hearts of Oak to report from his recent trip to Ceuta, the Spanish enclave on the North African coast, where he was filming with Fox Populi. Fresh from Gibraltar, he describes a migration situation far larger than expected: thousands of arrivals after the major influx on 31 July, with Moroccan migrants concentrated in the south and sub-Saharan migrants in the north. The Spanish-majority enclave effectively saw its population double in a short period. From above it looked attractive; at street level it was chaotic and unstable. Callum details the military response, overcrowding and fights at facilities built for far fewer people, migrants openly stating they wanted Europe's wealth and a better life (encouraged by social media and eager to be filmed), and the wider implications for the EU, Schengen, and the necessity of border control. Callum Smiles is an independent British journalist, formerly with Rebel News UK and now working under Callum Smiles Media while contributing to Vox Populi..

„Ist die Türe einmal auf und auch nur ein kleiner Spalt, dann kommen sie zu zehntausend.“ – Marco Pino Marco Pino war für Tichys Einblick unmittelbar am Brennpunkt des Geschehens: in Ceuta. In dieser exklusiven Analyse schildert er Roland Tichy, was sich an Europas Außengrenze tatsächlich abgespielt hat: den Massenansturm auf die Grenzanlagen, den Einsatz des Militärs und die Stimmung vor Ort. Es ist ein ungeschönter Blick auf eine Grenze, die unter dem Ansturm wankt, und auf einen Staat, der das Militär schicken muss, um nicht vollends die Kontrolle zu verlieren. Während Spanien mit Militärpräsenz versucht, den Rechtsstaat zu verteidigen, wirkt die deutsche Migrationspolitik weiterhin als fataler Magnet.

This week we talk about Melilla, hybrid warfare, and migration.We also discuss Morocco, civil conflict, and immigration politics.Recommended Book: Playground by Richard PowersTranscriptCeuta is a Spanish-owned territory located in northwestern Africa, along the top of Morocco. It's small—about seven square miles—and is unusual because it is a city owned by a European Union member state that isn't located on the European continent; it's bordered by Morocco and the Mediterranean, and is located at the entrance of the Strait of Gibraltar, which is the strait that separates the Mediterranean Sea from the Atlantic Ocean.Ceuta is one of two territories that Spain still holds in Africa, the other being a smaller, just 4.7 square mile city called Melilla, which is located further west but still along the Mediterranean coast, bordered by the sea on one side, and by Morocco on the other.Spain has held both of these territories for hundreds of years: Ceuta since 1580 and Melilla since 1497, so it's actually held them far longer than Morocco has been an independent state, in 1956. The populations of these territories, just over 85,000 people in each, also heavily identify as Spanish, despite many residents having Moroccan ancestry, so theres a cultural component here, too.That said, Morocco officially claims both areas as their own, considering them to be occupied territories, a bit like the Crimean peninsula has been militarily held by Russia since 2014, but it's still claimed by Ukraine as an occupied territory. So the Moroccan government isn't thrilled about having these small chunks of land, autonomous cities that are technically part of Spain, right there in the midst of their own territory. But these cities have been part of Spain for so long, and the residents are all Spanish citizens, with the same rights and sense of culture as the rest of Spain and Europe, that simply handing them over to Morocco has never seemed terribly feasible or desirable to the Spanish government, despite neither territory providing much strategic or economic value to Spain. So they remain a point of contention between these two governments.They've also served as migration hot-spots in recent decades, because they are the only two European territories that border an African country. And this is important because, in some cases, under some governments and in accordance with some laws, if you can make it across a border and into another country, you might be able to enter the system and eventually become a citizen, maybe claiming asylum or maybe getting slotted into some other path to citizenship. Or failing that, there's a chance you might be able to just fade into the background, working and living in that country, despite not legally being there.What I'd like to talk about today is a recent surge in migrants crossing the border from Morocco into Ceuta, and the larger state of play, migration-wise, globally right now.—On the last day of July, 2026, an estimated 50-60 thousand African migrants illegally crossed from Morocco into Ceuta, some of them swimming to bypass the 20-foot-high border fences, others climbing those fences, or piling into overflowing boats, arriving in Ceuta en masse and overwhelming the guards who tried to stop them, though generally just trying to run past them, not attacking the guards—this wasn't an attack, it was a rush to get into Spanish territory.Eventually the guards were reinforced by police and the Spanish military, and they started to push the waves of migrants back using water cannons and tear gas. But despite the less-lethal crowd control methods that were applied, at least 67 people, that's the number as of the day I'm recording this at least, it's been updated many times over the past few days, 67 people died as a result of stampedes, either headed inland or back into the sea, away from the gas and water cannons, or they drowned while trying to cross over the water.By the following day, the wave of migrants had become just a trickle, mostly a few stragglers who tried to swim to Ceuta, and who were swiftly returned to Morocco by local law enforcement. Almost everyone else who illegally crossed the border also returned to Morocco moved on by police or of their own volition, and though, again, this wasn't some kind of violent incursion, to get a sense of the scale of this wave of humanity, Ceuta only has about 85,000 people living there, and this wave of migrants was about 60,000 people strong. So the locals mostly closed up all their shops and locked their doors, the people who arrived found themselves unable to get food or water, and law enforcement told them they need to leave, so most did. As of the day I'm recording this there are still several hundred migrants hiding in the nearby hills and lounging on the beach, exhausted and still hopeful they'll be able to enter the asylum system—many of them saying they fled conflicts further south, like the ongoing civil war in Sudan, and so anything, even starving on the beach in Ceuda, is better than going back.This isn't the first time Ceuta has faced this kind of humanitarian crisis; back in 2021, the Moroccan government stopped enforcing its border controls and around 8000 people crossed from Morocco into Ceuta over the course of just two days. That was sparked by the Spanish government's decision to allow the head of a militant group in Western Sahara, a breakaway portion of Morocco that the Moroccan government claimed in 1975, but which itself still claims independence with some international support, they let that militant leader into Spain for medical treatment, and Morocco allowed thousands of migrants to flow across the border as punishment.This more recent crisis is much larger, and the cause isn't clear at this point. Spanish officials have said that Moroccan security forces were working alongside Spanish forces to keep people from crossing the border, so it seems unlikely this was stoked by the Moroccan government, and claims that this wave of people were motivated by an ongoing effort by the Spanish government to grant amnesty to immigrants who don't currently have residency permits, but who can prove they've been living in the country for at least 5 months and arrived before January 1 of 2026 also seems unlikely, as those arriving in this wave obviously wouldn't be part of that amnesty.There's a chance that this surge was triggered by a Spanish court ruling that was intentionally misconstrued by migrant smugglers in order to gin up more business. A bunch of social media posts claimed that this ruling said migrants who arrived via sea couldn't be immediately deported, not without due process, but those who arrived via land or by climbing border fences, could—crossing a physical barrier was the big no-no, according to this misinformation, so people who swam or crossed in boats would stand a better chance of being able to stick around and eventually become Spanish citizens.This was pure misinformation, but there's a chance it played a role in sparking this large migrant wave. And many of the people who were interviewed, those who tried to cross and were sent back, have echoed the sentiments of other migrants who have attempted these sorts of crossings at borders elsewhere around the world: essentially, things are very bad, worse than you can possibly imagine, in the country they've left, and the only option seems to be getting away as fast as possible, even taking chances that might kill them, because that's still better than staying.These waves of mass migration often result in humanitarian crises because people are hurt or killed by border security forces, are hurt or killed by being trampled or drowning, or they're hurt or killed while making the journey through dangerous areas, like the infamous Darién Gap that stretches through mountains and rainforests along the border between Colombia and Panama, and which spans the only gap in the Pan-American Highway, which connects Central and South America.Spanish authorities have said they'll be building even higher fences in Ceuta following this recent mass incursion, will string a floating buoy fence along the waters where people are crossing, and will be upping security, though like in most other popular border areas, security is already significant: tall fences, barbed wire, security cameras everywhere—these are not vulnerable spots, they're just not capable of handling 60,000 motivated people all at once.This episode in Ceuta is not happening in a vacuum.The Spanish prime minister has established a pro-immigration stance, positioning the country as a modern melting pot, which is part of why that aforementioned effort to give about half a million undocumented legal immigrants legal status is happening to begin with. Many countries right now are adopting anti-immigration stances as new technologies and changing demographics ripple through the economy, and mostly conservative, in some cases far-right conservative political movements frame those changes as the consequence of allowing too many foreigners into the country; these bad things aren't happening because of technology or economics or demographics, they claim, it's happening because there are too many people who are different from us crossing our borders and living here. Which for some, is a compelling rallying cry.Consequently, migrants are positioned as big bad enemies in many parts of the world, used to flog support for anti-immigrant parties, and to decry opposing governments. That has forced many pro-immigration governments to temper their stances, even to the point that formerly pro-immigration Europe has become a lot less so in recent years.Migrants are also used as pawns in hybrid warfare efforts. Morocco's previous decision to allow thousands of migrants to surge across the Spanish border in response to Spain's government doing something they didn't like is a tame version of this. More aggressive versions have been conducted by Russia against Finland and other neighboring NATO nations, the Russian military bussing migrants from elsewhere to their opponents' borders, intentionally creating a humanitarian and security crisis, while also putting pressure on centrist and left-leaning governments by providing ammunition for far-right and other more authoritarian governments throughout the region, who can then cry foul on how that migrant surge is handled. This tends to create more allies for Russia in the region, but it also keeps these neighboring countries busy, forcing them to tighten their borders and become more insular, which then leaves Russia freer to exercise its will throughout the region.It's also worth remember here that most migrants are leaving horrible situations at home, meaning war, famine, severe and persistent drought, in some cases they're trying to avoid having their children kidnapped and made into child soldiers while all of the women are sexually assaulted as part of the ongoing war.The number of people fleeing such conditions, who are currently on the run, their homes no longer safely habitable, is massive. There are an estimated 304 million migrants globally right now, which, if that population of people were their own country, would be the fourth most populous in the world, just after the United States.And this population is expected to just keep growing as global climate change continues to mess with previous water cycle and weather norms, and as all those earlier mentioned variables continue to mess with economics and technology and leadership and everything else, creating more violence and fear and famine and so on.This was a significant migrant wave in Ceuta, in other words, but it's just one example of something that's happening all over the place right now, and which will likely continue to happen, perhaps at even greater scales and with more regularity.Show Noteshttps://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/what-to-know-about-the-spanish-enclave-of-ceuta-as-migrant-arrivals-from-morocco-spikehttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/30/spanish-enclave-of-ceuta-raises-alarm-as-thousands-cross-morocco-borderhttps://www.aljazeera.com/features/2026/7/31/spain-deploys-military-to-ceuta-after-migrant-surge-what-we-knowhttps://abcnews.com/International/57-dead-after-thousands-migrants-cross-ceuta-officials/story?id=135254045https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/31/europe/spain-ceuta-migrants-intlhttps://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2026/07/31/most-migrants-who-crossed-into-ceuta-have-returned-to-morocco-as-death-toll-rises-to-34/https://www.npr.org/2026/07/31/g-s1-136507/morocco-spain-migrationhttps://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/world-africa-14114627https://www.britannica.com/place/Ceutahttps://edition.cnn.com/travel/ceuta-spain-north-africahttps://theconversation.com/ceuta-claves-para-entender-el-laberinto-de-una-crisis-migratoria-permanente-288843https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/6/2/western-sahara-independence-leader-brahim-ghali-back-in-algeriahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Morocco%E2%80%93Spain_border_incidenthttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/world/europe/ceuta-spain-morocco-migrants.htmlhttps://apnews.com/article/migration-spain-ceuta-morocco-d76c6dc9d2da828907a1c04e1d482bbehttps://apnews.com/article/migrants-spain-ceuta-morocco-d564354dd54e92debf43ce5fe22299f9https://apnews.com/article/spain-migration-ceuta-morocco-facts-50baa964ecfb07a2d19223d7ec375b91https://apnews.com/article/spain-morocco-immigration-european-union-8f023984a310276c619929102b4f909ahttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/02/world/europe/europe-migrants-ceuta.htmlhttp://nytimes.com/2026/08/02/world/europe/ceuta-spain-morocco-migrant-holdouts-beach.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/02/world/europe/spain-ceuta-far-right.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/world/europe/spain-ceuta-migrants-morocco-border.html This is a public episode.

//The Wire//2100Z July 30, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: UNITED STATES CONDUCTS RETALIATORY STRIKES WITHIN IRAN. CYCLOSPORA OUTBREAK CONTINUES IN UNITED STATES. MIGRATION WAVE HITS SPAIN AFTER SUPREME COURT RULING RESULTS IN BORDER CROSSING BREACH.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: American strikes on Iran continued overnight, with most of the targets being struck in the same coastal regions of Iran that have been targeted since the ceasefire was broken. Iran has claimed to have struck several aircraft on the ground at Muwaffaq al Salti in Jordan, along with other targets around the region which will take some time to verify.On the American side, one new series of targets struck by the United States was reported in the border town of Abadan, which is geographically located right on the Iraqi border, a short distance from Bubiyan Island where American HIMARs launchers have been observed conducting ATACMS strikes within Iran.Spain: An emergency situation has been declared after thousands of migrants swarmed the small enclave of Ceuta on the south side of the Strait of Gibraltar. Several thousand migrants breached the border perimeter that separates the Spanish peninsular city of Ceuta, from mainland Morocco. After it became clear to the crowds that there were very few border guards, the fencing was breached by land, and small boats launched by sea to land on the beaches, circumventing the fencing.Immediately after the migrant waves arrived this morning, the city has been in a state of sheer bedlam. Riots have been reported throughout the peninsula and property owners have reported being swarmed with break ins, as the border itself has completely collapsed.Analyst Comment: The reason for the fray is due to a recent court ruling which has intensified illegal immigration efforts. This week, Spain's Supreme Court re-affirmed that their borders are open, and that migrants who are apprehended trying to cross over to this peninsula cannot be deported. Last month, Spain's amnesty program officially closed, but because it's very hard to prove an entry date for someone who crossed the border illegally, the boats are being launched like never before, which resulted in today's intensification once the fence was breached.-HomeFront-USA: Around the nation the outbreak of cyclospora has continued to remain a concern as the exact point of origin for the parasite remains largely unknown. Over the past few weeks, the infection has continued to spread around the nation, and now a total of 45x states are reporting citizens falling ill. The largest outbreak cluster remains in Michigan and Ohio, and most of the other states affected are located in the midwest, the northeast, and southeastern regions of the nation.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The war in the Middle East has reached a level of complexity that makes direct strikes and targeting efforts way more impactful than they otherwise would be. A few days ago, the Saudis struck targets in northern Iraq, targeting Iran-aligned militia groups. It was partially this action which resulted in Iran striking back at Saudi Arabia yesterday. The groups that were targeted by the Saudis, were allegedly smaller sub-groups within the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), which had not formally joined with the Iraqi government. For context, the PMF are an infamous collection of militia units and tribes, which align with Iran along religious lines in addition to sharing the geography along the Iranian border.In recent years, the PMF has been rolled into the Iraqi government, to serve as the official militia/homeguard for the nation. This results in a complex web of loyalties and relationships, as making the PMF a part of the official uniformed Iraqi military service makes them harder to strike due to the diplomatic situation. This is probably why the Saudis attacked when they didn't necessarily need to. They found a way to strike PMF factions that would probably result in a fracturing within the region, but also not really result in a retaliatory attack from the Iraqi government. Or at least, that was the gamble on the part of the Saudis. The fact that the PMF sporadically launch drones at the Saudis helped justify this targeting effort last weekend. However in effect, what this has done, has brought Iran and Iraq closer together...at least in terms of hating the Saudis. The problem is that the Saudis (much like others in the region) have a habit of kicking a hornets nest, then handing that nest to the United States to deal with. When the Saudis hit the PMF in Iraq, the militia groups in Iraq will probably take this as an opportunity to increase attacks on the American base in Erbil (as they have for years), and the Iraqi government might not be so inclined to reign them in...because the Americans are not reigning in the Saudis. In short, things are sliding sideways, and because it's complicated and can't be compressed into a quick soundbite for decision makers to consume, the danger is very likely going unnoticed.Even though it is complicated, this is a comparatively easy example of how escalations can take place not just vertically, but also horizontally. Vertical escalations take the form of increasingly more severe tit-for-tat airstrikes, but horizontal escalations are far less intense, while spreading out around the world. This has resulted in the situation sleepwalking into serious territory, which has largely gone unnoticed because it hasn't been flashy enough for headlines. The Saudis are striking the Iraqis, the Houthis are hitting the Saudis, somebody is striking the Egyptians, the Israelis have slipped back into the shadows, the Iranians are hitting the Jordanians and Americans, and the United States is perplexingly bombing coastal targets and bridges within Iran...which are rather forebodingly only used during the wintertime wet season. These horizontal escalations have been a mainstay of this conflict since the beginning, but right now these more indirect escalations are taking center stage as the United States and Iran slug it out with missiles, drones, and bombs, and the United States is unable to make progress for the time being.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

¿Puede una ciudad convertirse en la estructura de una novela? En El Ojo Crítico conversamos con Ramón Starc sobre Que se vayan todos (Candaya), una novela coral que reconstruye la crisis argentina de diciembre de 2001 a través de las calles que desembocan en la Plaza de Mayo, componiendo un puzle donde corrupción, poder y desesperación social confluyen en una misma historia.Además, descubrimos la faceta menos conocida de Anthony Hopkins, que publica Life Is a Dream, su nuevo proyecto como compositor junto a Gustavo Dudamel y la Philharmonia Orchestra, un recorrido musical por más de seis décadas de creación de la mano de Martín Llade.Con Vicente Monroy viajamos al universo de dos grandes maestros del cine: Leonardo Favio, protagonista de la retrospectiva que le dedica la Filmoteca Española, y Theo Angelopoulos, cuya filmografía restaurada llega a Filmin. También escuchamos el nuevo adelanto de Barry B, No pega igual (Stuck on Replay), repasamos la decisión de la Unesco de aplazar la candidatura de la Ribeira Sacra como Patrimonio Mundial y nos detenemos en la reapertura de la sede del Instituto Cervantes en Gibraltar, coincidiendo con la reunión anual de directores de la institución.Escuchar audio

On Toronto's quiet islands stands Canada's oldest lighthouse... and one of its most haunted. For more than two centuries, visitors have reported a ghostly keeper pacing the tower after dark, searching for justice that never came. But behind the legend lies a true story of colonial violence, a respected Bavarian immigrant beaten to death by drunken soldiers, a mysterious grave hidden beneath shifting sand dunes, and a sacred Indigenous landscape forever changed by war.  Tonight, we separate folklore from history and uncover the chilling mystery of the Gibraltar Point Lighthouse.   HAH DISCORD - https://discord.com/invite/bJdbpH3hQm       YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@HAHChris   TikTok - @hah_podcast hauntedamericanhistory.com       Patreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠       LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGH       Barnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334   AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68S   Ebook   GOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1   KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_   SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316       !!

La nadadora Ángeles López Ortega, “Pikiki” y Raquel María Zamorano Maroto, han completado con éxito su heroico reto solidario de cruzar a nado el Estrecho de Gibraltar. En Uno de los Nuestros hablamos con Fran Blanco, el presentador que estará este verano en la Cadena SER nos cuenta cómo son sus aventuras de viajes

Es, dicen, el único espanglish en suelo europeo: el llanito, el lenguaje propio de los habitantes de Gibraltar... Lo hemos escuchado estos días, ese acento peculiar en la mezcla de algunas palabras, en frases emocionadas por el desmantelamiento de la verja en el cruce al Peñón. Una combinación que se ha ido inclinando a favor del inglés y que motivó la apertura allí en 2011 de un Centro del Instituto Cervantes. Razones políticas provocaron su cierre cuatro años después. Su director fue Francisco Oda y sobre lenguaje y cultura gibraltareña vamos a charlar con él.Escuchar audio

Interview starts at 27:50 The Secrets Beneath: New Discoveries in Egyptian Monuments & Cutting-Edge Tech In this episode, Darren Grimes hosts George Howard of Cosmic Tusk to delve into the latest groundbreaking research on the Egyptian Sphinx, the possibility of undiscovered underground chambers, and how modern technology like MRI, satellite imaging, and AI are transforming archaeology. The conversation also explores water level changes, ancient climate events, and the search for Atlantis.   He's deeply embedded in alternative history, cosmic impact research (Younger Dryas boundary hypothesis), and discussions of lost/advanced ancient civilizations. His platform regularly covers topics like Plato's Atlantis, pre-flood knowledge, and suppressed archaeology. He has interviewed or collaborated with researchers on these themes (including recent conversations linking back to Atlantis interpretations with guests like Randall Carlson). https://cosmictusk.com/about-george/ https://www.youtube.com/@cosmicsummit English Translation of the Presentation. https://youtu.be/rUl0G7N2iGk?si=Z2mZ5PGFfx1Gq9Qx   Key Topics: The recent presentation and hypotheses about a second Sphinx hidden beneath the Giza plateau, supported by modern imaging technology The use of satellite imagery, LiDAR, and underground scans to locate buried structures without invasive digging Interviews with experts like Filippo Beyondi and Corrado Malonga, and their role in advancing this research The controversy and skepticism within the archaeological community regarding new discoveries and interpretations The potential evidence for ancient water floods, such as the Younger Dryas impact, water erosion patterns, and the possibility of submerged civilizations The technological leap in geoscience: how tools such as MRI, SAR, and AI are revealing subsurface features at unprecedented detail The implications of these findings for understanding Earth's history, climate change, and ancient civilizations like Atlantis The upcoming expansion of the Cosmic Summit into Titan Network, supporting creators and new scientific revelations The ongoing excavation developments at sites like Hawara, Egypt, and the importance of future physical digs alongside remote sensing   Become a Lord or Lady with 1k donations over time.

Of the millions of victims of the Black Death, one was a teenager named Joseph ben Meir Abulafia, who died of the plague in Toledo in 1349 alongside his new wife. His tombstone was inscribed as a conversation with the dead: "I am the man who has seen desolation and destruction, blood and pestilence. The days of my youth were cut short suddenly, in the prime of my life." His unnamed mother survived, left alone and childless, her days filled with "bitter weeping." That inscription is one of seventy-six medieval tombstones from Toledo's Jewish cemetery that preserve the most personal voices of history's deadliest pandemic, a catastrophe that killed an estimated 100 million people in six years and whose aftershocks lasted for centuries. Today's guest is Thomas Asbridge, author of The Black Death: A Global History of Humanity's Most Devastating Pandemic. We discuss how a minor Venetian merchant's business papers, preserved by his widow in a convent, reveal that the medieval trade networks which kept cities fed were also purpose-built to spread epidemic disease across thousands of miles. We look at why the Byzantine emperor wrote about his fourteen-year-old son's death with clinical detachment, how a Franciscan intellectual who had questioned whether other worlds existed died carrying holy water through plague-ravaged Messina, and why the only European king killed by the Black Death was besieging Gibraltar with dreams of marching to Jerusalem when the plague found his camp. The pandemic's most devastating long-term consequences were felt not in Europe but in the Muslim world, where the once-invincible Mamluk Empire was broken by recurrent outbreaks and eventually conquered by the Ottomans, and that this forgotten collapse may have been the true hinge point that set the West on its path to global dominance.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
