Dear readers,
After the results of the Iowa caucuses held this week, there is one question on the minds of Republicans, Democrats, and the American public: can anything prevent Donald Trump from winning the presidential nomination for another run at the White House? The former president was handed a landslide in the opening salvo of the Republican primaries, opening the probability that only the consolidation of a single candidacy can threaten his lead. (...).
With Israel facing accusations of genocide in Gaza, EL PAÍS sat down with the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Palestine, Francesca Albanese, to discuss the situation in the Strip and the prospects of a ceasefire stemming from South Africa’s petition to the International Court of Justice. Describing the Gaza war as the “monstrosity of our century,” Albanese is hopeful that the proceedings can lead to a cessation of hostilities, noting that 70% of the Palestinians killed in the Israeli assault are women and children. “And many more people are going to die due to the lack of medical care for the 60,000 injured. Palestinians are dying of cold and hunger and collectively we have no idea of how to react.”
The discovery this week of giant ice deposits on Mars — the combined volume of which is greater than all the fresh water on Earth contained in rivers and lakes and enough to fill the Red Sea — has raised the possibility that the resource could be tapped to facilitate future planetary exploration. The finding could also finally answer the question as to whether there was, or is, life on Mars. “When there is water, even water ice, life or evidence of past life is possible,” said Thomas Watters, a scientist at the Smithsonian Institution and main author of the study.
