- In the 1920s Victoria and Ángel fall in love in a small town, northern Spain. They are two people both from a different social class, she is the daughter of a wealthy businessman and he comes from a poor family. They are so in love but social norms and circumstances of the era force them to break up. Several years later, they meet again, Victoria as a powerful businesswoman and Ángel as a priest.
- The racial debate has opened a gap in coexistence and has catapulted, with the help of Trump's speech, the presence of white supremacists. Constance Malcolm is the mother of a black boy who was shot dead in her house by a police officer who suspected he was carrying a weapon. Finally, it was confirmed that he was unarmed. We all remember the summer of 2020 when Black Lives Matter launched into the mainstream of cultural discourse. It was a rally cry at protests and demonstrations around the world, and posted all over sporting events. But we also remember the riots resulting in property destruction, injury, and an attack on police. The hashtag was slow to gain popularity. In the second half of 2013, the hashtag appeared on Twitter a total of 5, 106 times. But then on August 4, 2014, Michael Brown, an 18-year-old Black man was murdered by white police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri. His body was left on the ground for four hours before being taken to the city morgue. The event was documented by bystanders with cell-phones and the news spread around the world via social media. Protesters, initially localized in Ferguson, soon began to appear throughout the nation; they took to the streets just as they had done after the murder of Trayvon Martin. Garza, Cullors, and Tometi had spent the last year with the help of cultural workers, artists, designers, and technicians building the infrastructure to support "moving the hashtag from social media to the streets." Their team grew through the Black Lives Matter Freedom Ride to St. Louis, Missouri, a plan that had been led and designed by Patrisse Cullors and Darnell L. Moore. They organized for over 500 of their members from across the nation to travel to Missouri to help participate in the protests. Cullors and Moore described their intentions in an article they wrote for the Guardian: "The BLM Ride was organized in the spirit of the early 1960s interstate Freedom Riders in the racially segregated south, after the visuals of Michael Brown's lifeless and blood-drenched body brought to mind images of lifeless black bodies hanging from lynching trees in the all-too-recent past, after the militarized police forces looked all too similar to the response of police to protestors during the civil rights movement." In the three weeks after Michael Brown's death the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag was used an average of 58,747 times per day. There was another dramatic increase three months later, on November 25, the day after the Ferguson grand jury decided to not charge Darren Wilson with Brown's murder, when the hashtag was used 172,772 times. In the subsequent three weeks, the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag appeared 1.7 million times. The Black Lives Matter Movement was inspired by the 1960s Civil Rights Movement, the 1980s Black Feminist movement, Pan-African movement, and political hip-hop movement, and the 2000s LGTBQ+ movement. By working to end systematic racism, BLM continues the efforts of 19th century organizations including but not limited to: the American League of Colored Laborers, the Florence Farming and Lumber Association, and the NYS Suffrage Association. Like the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Black Lives Matter used collective planning as they rejected the heteronormative, patriarchal heirarchy that pervades most Black rights organizations. The Black Live Matter organization patterned itself after Chicago's Black Youth Project 100 by placing people from marginalized backgrounds into central roles. With Black women, trans, and queer members in leadership roles, Garza described how BLM differentiated itself from traditional perceptions of Black activism: "It goes beyond the narrow nationalism that can be prevalent within some Black communities, which merely call on Black people to love Black, live Black and buy Black, keeping straight cis[gendered] Black men in the front of the movement while our sisters, queer and trans and disabled folk take up roles in the background or not at all." The Black Lives Matter revolutionized Black activism in more ways than one. The Movement has utilized protesting strategies including disrupting national holidays (e.g. Black Friday and Christmas) and publicly challenging politicians, widespread media coverage from unique sources such as a 2015 episode in NBC's popular show Law & Order: SVU, and public support from organizations like the N.F.L. and NASCAR to garner attention and drastically increase participation more than ever before. According to Deva Woodly, associate professor of politics at the New School, at the height of the 60's Civil Rights Movement protests peaked at hundreds of thousands of people, but in the recent Black Lives Matter protests participation was in the millions. Support for the Black Lives Matters is unprecedented and continues to expand. We, at the Underground Railroad Education Center, stand in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter Movement as they continue to fight for an equitable and just world.
- Documentary that approaches the places where they used and worked, vital settings of an unrepeatable artist in which he painted some of his masterpieces, such as 'Girl in the window' or 'The great masturbator'. A story that takes them from Cadaqués to New York; and from Madrid to Paris or Figueras (Gerona), places linked to Dalí and his career. On the trip, new facets of Dalí are discovered by neighbors, friends and acquaintances. Experts in his work and heads of museums such as the Prado, the Reina Sofía or the Dalí Museum also participate. The report seeks to remove the mask of the myth behind which one of the greatest characters of the 20th century was hiding, in order to 'reveal' the genius.
- Southeast Australia has been burning for five months. Forest fires have already devastated an area equivalent to that of Castilla y León, the largest autonomous community in Spain, and there is no forecast that they will stop soon. To the human losses we must add the death of a billion animals and the danger of extinction of unique species. The government points to a historic drought as the main cause of the fires. Experts, however, attribute the catastrophe to climate change and warn that it is a preview of what awaits us all. A "Informe Semanal" team has traveled to Australia, the world's largest coal exporter and largest emitter of carbon dioxide per capita. Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra are among the cities with the worst air quality in the world. Climate models from 25 years ago already predicted that the effects of global warming would be seen very soon, says climatologist T. Dickman, and the place where they are being felt first and most seriously, he warns, is in Australia. The world is facing new changes and many of them are related to climate change. The 2019-20 Australian bushfire season or Black Summer was a period of bushfires in many parts of Australia, which, due to its unusual intensity, size, duration, and uncontrollable dimension, is considered a megafire. The Australian National University reported that the area burned in 2019-2020 was "well below average" due to low fuel levels and fire activity in unpopulated parts of Northern Australia, but that "Despite low fire activity overall, vast forest fires occurred in southeast Australia from southeast Queensland to Kangaroo Island." In June 2019 the Queensland Fire and Emergency Service acting director warned of the potential for an early start to the bushfire season which normally starts in August. The warning was based on the Northern Australia bushfire seasonal outlook noting exceptional dry conditions and a lack of soil moisture, combined with early fires in central Queensland. Throughout the summer, hundreds of fires burnt, mainly in the southeast of the country. The major fires peaked during December-January. As of 28 October 2020, the fires burnt an estimated 24.3 million hectares (60 million acres; 243,000 square kilometres; 94,000 square miles), destroyed over 3,000 buildings (including 2,779 homes) and killed at least 34 people.
