Spain Is Due To Run Some Train Trips Free Of Charge Starting In September.

The price of using state-owned services in Spain has been reduced by half in response to the rapidly rising cost of energy and inflation. Now the government has announced an additional 100 reduction. As of September, travelers can ride on trains operated by Renfe's public railway network at no charge. Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced that multi-journey tickets for trains operated by the network's public services Cercanías, Rodalies and Media Distance (equivalent to local and medium-distance journeys) will be free of charge from September 1 until the end of the year. The measure excludes single-journey tickets, or long-distance travels.

Ahead Of The Trip, Tennis Player Elina Svitolina Stated It Was A “Mission” To Help War-Torn Ukraine.

Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina proclaims she has a "mission" to assist her nation and wants to use her platform to give hope to the war-torn area. The 27-year-old, who is also in contact with her family and friends in Ukraine, has taken a break from tennis to focus her efforts on fund raising and awareness of her country’s struggles. Svitolina told CNN Sport, "It's extremely tough because they [her family] tell their stories. I speak with my grandmother every day to know how she feels. It's quite tough for her because for elderly people it's most important to have a routine, and right now there is lots of bombing and shooting going on in Odessa, in my hometown. It is important to stay in touch everyday with her to support her in any way that I can." UNITED24 ...

Joe Biden Says That In Withdrawing The United States From The Iran Nuclear Deal, Trump Made A “Gigantic Mistake.”

At a Wednesday interview, former President Joe Biden said former US President Donald Trump made a "gigantic mistake" for withdrawing the US from the Iranian nuclear deal and regretted Iran's progress toward acquiring a nuclear weapon. The President said in an interview, "The only thing worse than the Iran that exists now is Iran with nuclear weapons."

The ‘Worst Variant’ Is Here

Nearly two-years after the coronavirus pandemic began, the most infectious and transmissible type yet has arrived. There is no single drug that can stop the pandemic. The virus remains present globally, mutated into new strains, while vaccine circulation is falling short of efforts to staunch its spread. The most recent model of the virus is ushering in a new wave of problems and making a recent upsurge in hospitalizations and COVID-19 cases. New strains of the Omicron virus are fueling a global surge in new cases, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In Europe, the Omicron subvariants are powering a spike in cases of about 25%, though Dr. Michael Ryan, the executive director of WHO's Health Emergencies Program, has said that number may actually be higher, given the "al...

Star Amal Clooney Is The Queen Of The Party Dress.

Amal Clooney is a barrister by day and a party girl by night. The human rights litigator's renown as a serious professional notwithstanding, she's also well-known among party-goers as a party procrastinator at nighttime. Unable to resist the allure of sequins, jewelry, and gowns, she habitually changes her MaxMara plains into flashy evening attire. In 2015, Amal wore a gold chainmail draped minidress to George Clooney's Casamigos tequila launch at Ushuaïa in Ibiza. This was several years before metallic liquid trends reemerged thanks to Y2K-leaning brands such as Poster Girl and Fannie Schiavoni. Clooney had been doing cowl necklines and slinky cuts way before the Blumarine revival sparked the millennium bug. Two years later, at another Casamigos promo event, Amal wore a strapless...
