EL PAÍS News in English

Dear readers,

As we head into the New Year, all eyes are on Donald Trump and the race to win the White House. The real estate magnate is the clear favorite to win the Republican Party’s nomination, but faced a setback this week, when Maine joined Colorado in banning him from running under the “disqualification clause.

Meanwhile, in Gaza, the death toll has risen to more than 21,320, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Settler violence in the West Bank is also intensifying. EL PAÍS traveled to Tulkarem to speak with the relatives of six young men who were killed in an Israeli strike. “They stole our land, they turned us into refugees, and now they come here to kill us, what does Israel want?” said the aunt of four of the victims.

In other news, Argentina’s new far-right president, Javier Milei, has drafted an omnibus bill including 664 articles that fundamentally alter the roots of a good part of Argentina’s political, social and economic structure. If approved, protest organizers could face up to six years in prison.

And finally, we spoke to Colin Murdoch, from Google DeepMind, about the company's large language model Gemini and how artificial intelligence is accelerating scientific.

We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from EL PAÍS USA Edition.
