His yacht, the "Bribon" -- Spanish for "rascal" -- is participating in a three-day regatta. The 84-year-old former monarch has been living in Abu Dhabi since going into self-imposed exile in August 2020 following a string of financial scandals. IMAGES
Miami (United States), May 11 (EFE / EPA) .- (CAMERA: Cristobal Herrera) Hats, straws, can washers, waste tarps and fabrics made with cassette tape, anything can be used by the Cuban visual artist Celia Ledon to create pieces halfway between fashion and sculpture that have reached the Kennedy Center in New York.
Just one week on from the Portuguese Grand Prix, on a track that has only hosted two Formula 1 races, the World Championship now moves to the Barcelona-Catalunya Circuit in Montmeló, 25 kilometres from the Catalan capital, which has featured on the calendar every year since 1991. It also used to be the usual venue for pre-season testing, but this year, because of the pandemic, that was moved to Bahrain.The track layout, featuring high, medium and low speed corners, direction changes, undulations and a long start-finish straight, is a demanding test-bench of a car’s abilities. It is also one of the most difficult tracks for overtaking. Being close to the coast means that changes in wind direction are one of the factors to deal with, because it has a significant impact on the balance of the cars that run in a medium-high downforce configuration. There are two DRS zones, one on the main straight leading to the first chicane and another after turn 9 on the back straight that leads to turn 10, where it will make less of a difference under braking, but it will not be impossible to try a textbook overtaking move around the outside, relying on entry speed going into the turn. During the winter, major changes were actually made to turn 10, a very heavy braking point where it was easy to lock up
Algeciras, Apr 4 (EFE).- Almost 1,200 Spaniards or residents of Spain on Sunday boarded a ship or an aircraft chartered as part of a special mechanism to repatriate the roughly 4,000 people who remained stranded in Morocco when the Arab country last Tuesday closed its airspace to Spain for health reasons.The Balearia ferry set sail from the port of Tanger Med en route for Algeciras with 800 passengers on board shortly after 4:30 am local time, while at almost the same time an Iberia Airlines jet carrying 348 passengers departed from Casablanca for Madrid.

Péruwelz (Belgium), Jul 12 (EFE) .- (Camera: Leo Rodríguez) Residents od the 'Le Jardin de Picardie' home, located in the Belgian town of Péruwelz, are once again able to hug after three months of strict confinement thanks to the 'calinerie', a laminated panel installed in the centre garden and which translates to 'tenderness'.FOOTAGE OF THE LE JARDIN DE PICARDIE HOME IN PÉRUWELZ. SOUNDBTIES OF LILI HENDRIEKSE, RESIDENT; MARIE-CHRISTINE DESOER , DIRECTOR OF THE HOME; AND YVES LETELLIER, WHO VISITS HIS FATHER. Translations: LILI HENDRIEKSE: 1. I saw my children two metres away despite having a great desire to hug them. We had to be patient. 2. It (the hug) was with my daughter and I cried. I am very emotional. MARIE-CHRISTINE DESOER: 1. Not knowing how long this was going to last we had to find a solution to be able to hug our residents. Living without physical contact is not possible, so that's why we decided to create the ‘calinerie'. 2. When we started hearing about coronavirus we were very scared. Luckily, we had the necessary equipment and, trying to react quickly, we made reservations for masks, gel (hand sanitizer), gloves and blouses (medical). YVES LETELLIER: 1. We were frustrated about not being able to touch them, so the idea of ??creating an installation to be able to hug each other is really fantastic. You get used to it, but being able to do it again renews you.
