EL PAÍS News in English

This week in Latin American politics we followed up on the Brazil election, analyzed Nicaragua's increasing self-isolation and explored the contents of leaked documents showing how Mexico's “Narco of Narcos” took over a rival drug gang while on the run. Elsewhere, our correspondents shed light on the growing problems with Russia's mobilization of new recruits for the war in Ukraine.

In science news, one of our most-read stories involves a tiny and extremely rare diamond that reveals secrets about Earth’s most inaccessible places. And in culture, we showcased a new exhibition at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC focusing on the painter John Singer Sargent and his enduring fascination with Spain.
