EL PAÍS (News in English)
Dear readers,
The deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, shot by federal agents in Minneapolis, have accelerated a legislative offensive in Democratic-led states to demand accountability for violations of constitutional rights. But the recent tensions are the latest manifestation of a dispute as old as the nation itself: the resistance of local power against a federal center that periodically tries to govern by imposition.
This week we also look at how the much-anticipated meeting between Donald Trump and Gustavo Petro played out, and what it means for the Colombian leader ahead of presidential elections later this year.
We also spoke with AI expert and Turing Award winner Yoshua Bengio, who discussed the future risks posed by fast-learning systems that have been known to deliberately ignore human instructions.
And speaking of superhuman feats, meet "Super López," an 81-year-old man who started running in his sixties and whose record-setting races have doctors studying him to learn more about the limits of the human body.

EL PAÍS (News in English)
Dear readers,
Events in Minneapolis have dominated the headlines this week, following the death of 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti at the hands of immigration enforcement officers, less than three weeks after Renee Good, a poet and mother of three, was fatally shot by agents in the same city. Donald Trump reacted to the ensuing protests by replacing Gregory Bovino, the "tough guy" commander of the US Border Patrol, with the more politically minded border czar Tom Homan.
Amid the turmoil, EL PAÍS spoke to Minneapolis pastor Sergio Amezcua, whose own reaction to the descent of thousands of armed agents on the staunchly Democratic city was to help however he could. Today, the organization he set up counts on 4,000 volunteers who provide food and basic supplies to 16,000 families.
This week we also spoke to Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, who issued a warning about Europe's technological dependence, interviewed Oscar nominee Stellan Skarsgård, and sat down with Oscar-winning director Mstyslav Chernov, whose latest work, '2,000 meters to Avdiivka' has the Ukrainian in the running for a statuette again this year.

EL PAÍS (News in English)
Dear readers,
In a week in which Donald Trump has made his intention to gain control of Greenland plain, the US president's announcement of the creation of a Board of Peace, to be chaired "indefinitely" by the Repubican magnate, has met with a mixed response.
Trump has declared he will not employ force to annex the vast Arctic island, but stated at Davos that a "framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland" has been tabled. We took a look at what the territory, part of the Kingdom of Denmark, represents in economic and geostrategic terms and the various scenarios for its future.
In other news this week, we spoke with Venezuelan exiles about their hopes following Nicolás Maduro's removal from power, hosted Bill Gates at an event in Madrid to mark the 50th anniversary of El PAÍS, and looked at why US restaurant chains are struggling to maintain their market presence in China.
