EL PAÍS News in English

Besides tracking the destruction caused by Hurricane Ian in Cuba and the US, this was a busy week in politics. We did a region-by-region analysis of how Italians voted in last weekend's election, which handed victory to right-wing candidate Georgia Meloni, and looked at how this Sunday's elections in Brazil are shaping up. Our stories also featured first-hand accounts of how many Russians' lives have been upended as they flee the draft and try to cross into neighboring Georgia.

In science, we interviewed evolutionary biologist and Harvard professor Carole Hooven, who has written about the underestimated role of testosterone in differences between male and female behavior. We also talked to one of the world's last publishers in the Ladino language, and took a look back at the fascinating history of cheating at chess.

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