Spanish News in English EL PAÍS

Dear readers,

As the situation in Ukraine worsens, this week we took a look at the effects of the conflict in other parts of the world. On the US-Mexican border, for example, Russians and Ukrainians fleeing their home countries are starting to arrive. Some are finding it easier than others, however, to enter American territory.

We also took a look at China, where the coronavirus pandemic is returning with force in a country that until now has been pursuing a “zero-Covid” strategy.

And finally, in the world of culture we took a look at Rosalía’s new album, ‘Motomami,’ which was applauded by the EL PAÍS culture critic Carlos Marcos.

We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from the EL PAÍS English Edition. Thanks for reading.
