Spanish News in English EL PAÍS

Dear readers,

All eyes were on the Americas Summit this week following endless diplomatic bickering over the guest list. Many wonder whether the declarations on greater regional cooperation will lead to practical changes. Anticipation was also high for the first hearing of the House committee probing the insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

EL PAÍS this week revealed additional information about a case involving WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange that could affect his extradition request by the US. A Spanish judge is trying to question lawyers who were spied on at the Ecuadorean embassy while Assange was there.

We also interviewed Rafa Nadal in the wake of his epic victory at the French Open, and immunotherapy specialist Robert Schreiber who explained why some cancers may soon be treated like a chronic disease. And a leading official at Madrid's Reina Sofía Museum provided a first-hand, emotional account of a recent visit by Mick Jagger.

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