Hello good Morning!
Could it be out of selfishness? Insolidarity? Unconsciousness? Unawareness? The questions accumulate before one fact: demobilization to get vaccinated against the covid causes 100,000 doses to expire.
Theme of the day
Three emergencies
Vaccines in the trash. The health emergency sees a turning point. More than 100,000 covid vaccines are expired or about to do so in Spain. And Catalonia is where more roads have been lost. No one predicted the decline in interest in immunization.
Time trial race on La Palma. A lava flow from the erupting volcano has slowed its speed. Another is almost stopped. But there is more. And in the nearby towns they only have minutes to flee from the lava amidst a rain of ash. Beyond the obvious, eight plagues strike them.

The “special relationship” The bond between the United States and the United Kingdom is usually summed up with each day becoming more and more blurred. Biden ignores more than hugs Johnson. What’s more, he reads the primer on commerce and Ulster. The long-awaited fabulous post-Brexit pact does not arrive.
