In October 2023, David Beckham released a documentary about his life on Netflix, and one of the most viral anecdotes featured his wife, when she described her working-class origins, only for her husband to insist several times that she finally admit that her father drove her to school in a Rolls-Royce. Perhaps for that reason, Victoria Beckham has now decided to tell her life story, and she does so in a docuseries premiering on October 9, on the same streaming platform, three episodes in which the designer reviews her life, from joining the Spice Girls to founding her own fashion brand and nearly going bankrupt. There’s no time — or intent — to discuss the difficulties faced by a marriage that has been generating headlines for three decades: the rumors of infidelity during their time in Madrid or the current lack of contact they maintain with Brooklyn , their firstborn, who doesn’t appear in the documentary.

For those accustomed to Russian propaganda , North Korean agitprop is a breath of fresh air in Moscow’s art galleries. The All-Russian Decorative Art Museum is currently hosting the exhibition DPRK: Country of Great People , a showcase of the arts of Moscow’s new ally in its disputes with the West. One part of the exhibition pays tribute to the participation of North Korean soldiers in the war in Ukraine , a collaboration the Kremlin initially denied.

Argentina’s Economy Minister Luis Caputo traveled to Washington over the weekend to accelerate the financial bailout that U.S. President Donald Trump had promised to his Argentine counterpart Javier Milei. Markets had been expecting news last Sunday night, before trading opened, but the first announcement didn’t come until Monday. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who is leading the negotiations, posted a message on Monday welcoming Caputo and anticipating “productive discussions on the several options” to support Argentina. He shared a photo with Caputo but offered no further details. On Tuesday, there was total silence — not even a hint of commitment . Seguir leyendo

The presidential motorcade advanced on Tuesday along the rocky, dusty road of Sigsihuayco, a rural community perched in the Andean mountains of El Tambo, in the province of Cañar. At the front, a military tank led the way, followed by at least six armored vehicles carrying the president of Ecuador, Daniel Noboa . From the start, the air was thick with tension. On both sides of the path, dozens of gathered demonstrators unleashed their anger against the convoy. From both flanks, locals began hurling stones of various sizes. Others showed their fury by striking the black car bodies with sticks, while windows splintered, their shattering sound frightening the presidential staff inside, who recorded the attack on video.

The attack of October 7, 2023 , was not a typical terrorist attack. I say this not only because of the death toll (1,195, plus 251 people taken hostage, many of whom subsequently died), a figure far higher than what terrorist acts usually produce, but above all because of how the operation was conceived and carried out. On October 7, a Palestinian force led by Hamas invaded and occupied Israeli territory, breaching the defensive barriers and the separation wall in Gaza. To do so, it had to mobilize more than 2,000 militants from the Al-Qassam Brigades (the armed wing of Hamas), suffering around 1,600 casualties during the two days the attack lasted. An attack of this magnitude by a non-state force had never before occurred in Israel’s history. Seguir leyendo
