Spanish News in English EL PAÍS

Dear readers,

Cryptocurrencies grabbed headlines this week as the value of several digital currencies fell sharply (and one collapsed entirely). This is affecting not just thousands of investors but even an entire country, El Salvador, which made bitcoin legal tender last year and could now struggle to meet debt payments.

EL PAÍS has gained access to a second forensic report that says Debanhi Escobar was sexually abused and murdered, refuting prosecutors' suggestion of an accidental death. The case has galvanized public opinion in Mexico, where there are 1,800 missing women.

In science news, researchers looked under the lids of car gasoline tanks and found a new species of fuel-eating bacteria that they believe could be highly efficient at cleaning up spills. And in culture, we reviewed the rich sound history of Nosferatu, a silent film classic that turns 100 this year.

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