According to the German Motorrad, BMW is working on a boxer with reduced displacement up to 800 c.c. It is an African-style trail, very hard, with long-distance suspensions and a very low weight. BMW announced for the EICMA "4 exciting world premieres". We know that there will be a new F850RS, the S1000XR 2020, the most photographed R1800C and, recently revealed, the F850R. Then, and if according to BMW there are four, they would all be there ... unless there is any surprise, such as an F850XR and this BMW R800GS? We find it difficult to think that, having the light and powerful twin 850 engine of the F850GS, the Munich brand makes life complicated by manufacturing an 800 cc boxer, unless it is an R80GS Anniversary, since in 2020 they will be fulfilled 40 years of that first GS. The Germans say it very convinced. For now, we put it in quarantine ... The solution: in Milan, in just over two weeks.

There was maximum expectation, not only for the couple (but also), but for what the guests would wear. This is our verdict. A wedding is always a fashion show, although sometimes it may end up resembling a costume party. That has not been the case in the Duke of Huéscar and Sofía Palazuelo, where, without being benevolent, we will say that mistakes have prevailed over the successes. In general, no one has skipped the protocol, the label or the good taste, although there are those who have refined more than others. Then we choose the 10 styles that have attracted the most attention. The most striking Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada and her children. (PI.) Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada and her children. (PI.) The designer, dressed as herself and herself, has been planted at the wedding, as she has done in other large-scale, with a whole explosion of color. His daughter Cosima was a deconstructed homage to bullfighting. And his son, Tristan, seemed to put the touch of 'sanity'. That said, they have succeeded, because they have given a touch of color to a ceremony in which few have dared to take risks. In the footsteps of Isabel Preysler The Marquis de Griñón and his wife, Esther Doña. (Cordon Press) The Marquis de Griñón and his wife, Esther Doña. (Cordon Press) Esther Doña has opted for a firm that loves the ex-wife of her husband, Isabel Preysler. We talk about Pedro del Hierro, architect of the dress. Nothing to object, strict and adequate. We only put a but: I could have opted for a more intense touch of color in the accessories (or makeup). Of course, olive green is a difficult color and the brand new Marquise de Griñón defends it well. We loved the feathers. Very produced Enrique Solís and his girlfriend, Alejandra Domínguez. (Cordon Press) Enrique Solís and his girlfriend, Alejandra Domínguez. (Cordon Press) Enrique Solís, impeccable with a B Corner chaque, signed by Jaime de Marichalar, has officially introduced his girlfriend, Alejandra Domínguez. You can not say that it goes wrong (quite the opposite), but perhaps, given his youth, he would have improved with a less sophisticated makeup. The dress, designed by Roberto García, with a striking neckline and opening, which allowed him to show off his legs, has been a success. Madrid as the most Esperanza Aguirrre. (EFE) Esperanza Aguirrre. (EFE) "President, president!" They shouted at Esperanza Aguirre upon her arrival in Liria. So, as if it were a subliminal message, it was red, the color of the community flag (the white stars were missing). What to say? Well, it was correct and, above all, fun. In addition, anticipating the temperature changes of these days, she wore a champagne-colored manila shawl just in case ... That nobody gets angry: the best Pilar González de Gregorio. (PI.) Pilar González de Gregorio. (PI.) Pilar, the daughter of the charismatic Luisa Isabel Medina Sidonia (remembered for the nickname of the red duchess) was possibly one of the best dressed at the wedding. With a Jorge Vázquez dress with a suggestive two-color print, a headdress that has found virtue in the middle, striking but not strident, and a complement that always gives a touch of distinction (if the format is well chosen): the gloves . A Disney touch Pigeon Segrelles. (PI.) Pigeon Segrelles. (PI.) Lorenzo Caprile is behind this somewhat 'Disney Princess' or lady design, as you see fit. Boat neck, long sleeves, gloves, pamelón ... Everything is right. A small detail: the shoes fit large. We already know that it is a trick so that the day of its release do not make blisters. Of course Paloma Segrelles approves. Eternally young, timeless elegance The Uruguayan writer has an exceptional quality: it always goes well. She is not a slave to fashion and, therefore, always chooses the clothes that best fit her physique and her age (she seems several decades younger). The choice of color, perfect, especially for photos. Both the orange of the dress and the fuchsia of the shawl. A very Andalusian look ... Carmen Posadas, 10.

Bolivia's president would win in the first round, says 95% scrutiny of Sunday's general election minutes, according to the electoral body. The rapid minutes count (Trep), resumed at the end of Monday afternoon, gave Morales (59 years old) 46.87% and the opponent Carlos Mesa 36.73% with 95.30% of verified records, and put the leftist president on the verge of avoiding a second round with his main rival. However, a climate of suspicion prevailed because the Plurinational Electoral Body (EPO) suspended the vote counting on a fast Trep count on Sunday night, which was resumed after almost 20 hours of paralysis. Evo Related Article Chavismo celebrates "resounding triumph of Evo", in the absence of 50% of votes and with a draw Even when half the votes had been scrutinized, the candidate Carlos Mesa obtained 42.61% of the votes, against 42.45% of Evo Morales. To avoid questioning, Foreign Minister Diego Pary and the OAS veterans "agreed to establish a permanent support team in the process of official vote counting" of the elections, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bolivia reported on Twitter. The agreement follows a public call from Pary to foreign agencies and embassies in the country to follow the count "so that the process concludes with all the necessary transparency", after the opposition candidate and former president Carlos Mesa accused the government of "mani[CENSORED]ting ”The result of the elections to avoid a ballot. Presidential elections in Bolivia Related Article Freeze presidential voting scrutiny in Bolivia and accuse Evo Morales of fraud Hours later, the OAS tweeted that "rejects the interruption of the final count" in the region of Potosí, where protests began against the electoral tribunal, accused of lack of transparency. The protests then extended to La Paz (west), Santa Cruz (east) and other smaller cities. Mesa, who ruled between 2003 and 2005, denounced to the OAS observers that the electoral body "arbitrarily interrupted" the count and demanded that "in the course of the day we know the final result that is none other than that of a second round" .

The Canadian singer has announced that in 2019 she will end her residence in the city of sin. Her fans lament, but she has decided to take a new path. June 8, 2019 will be the last performance of Céline Dion in Las Vegas. Or at least that is what she says now, because a return would not be ruled out, given that she has been the most profitable artist in the city of sin, since her husband, the late René Angelil, and she decided to turn around his career that many considered suicidal and that has proved quite the opposite. Now there are many artists who dream of a residence in one of the casinos. Beyond the musical significance of his first great show, 'A new day ...', which debuted on March 25, 2003, with a contract of no less than 600 concerts, we must underline the fashion dimension, very influenced in that first stage for the pyrotechnics and visual effects introduced in the show by Franco Dragone, world famous for his work with Cirque du Soleil. Artistic decisions that had to be refined over time because there were numbers that greatly hindered the vocal performance of the singer. At the Oscars, in 1999, with her husband. (Getty) At the Oscars, in 1999, with her husband. (Getty) Céline Dion at that time was far from being a fashion icon. Moreover, certain manifestly improvable looks were still recorded on the retina, such as the one he wore in his participation in Eurovision in 1988, a contest he won representing Switzerland with 'Ne partez pas sans moi'. With a body language that showed some shyness, she appeared on the stage with a poor curly mane, a make-up that was not at all favorable for skin as clear as her own, and an American with shoulder pads that fit large and an antisexy skirt-tutu. [READ MORE: This is how Céline Dion has managed to be the style icon we needed] Another of the less iconic moments of the Franco-Canadian singer was her appearance at the Oscars with a Dior tuxedo with the American upside down, cataloged by international fashion specialists as one of the worst looks in the history of these awards. It was the year 1999 and the interpreter of 'My Heart Will Go On', at the peak of po[CENSORED]rity, was the least cool in the world, although it sold millions of records.

(Getty) The arrival in Las Vegas of the singer made anticipate the worst, because until then it was considered as the place where stars took refuge in the twilight of his career, such as Elvis Presley or Tom Jones, but it was a master move for both the singer , who saw his fortune multiply exponentially, and for the businessmen of the city of Nevada, who saw the hotel reservations and the average spending per tourist pick up. With an aesthetic of 'more is more', the singer, despite how expensive the tickets were, managed to mobilize an audience, with a demography that frayed the elderly, who bought the tickets months in advance. And it consumed the biggest ... (we don't mean drugs, eye). [READ MORE: Céline Dion confronts her fans with an indescribable look] The curtain was lowered, only temporarily, in 2007, as Céline, after releasing two albums, 'D'Elles', in his mother tongue, French, and 'Taking Chances', with which he toured all over the world , she returned to the theater that, with a capacity of 4,000 people, had built formerly for her. Which gives us a hint of how strong they bet on her before she set foot on the stage. In 2006, celebrating his 500th concert. (Getty) In 2006, celebrating his 500th concert. (Getty) In 2011, the artist premiered a new residence, Céline, much simpler in her scenery, designed to shine her voice and her physical presence. Also his wardrobe evolved with costumes designed for a timeless crooner, away from fashion, but sophisticated and elegant. Somehow, we could say that Céline was becoming aware of herself as a fashion prescriber. What happens is that I still didn't know ... [READ MORE: Céline Dion, two and a half years after becoming a widow, more daring than ever] His stylist at the time, Annie North, did not lose sight of the fact that it was a Las Vegas show, in which minimalism had not been well understood, but chose for his muse Armani Privé dresses with delicate rhinestones or authentic dreams of Elie Saab or Balmain. In his mind were also the great stars of golden Hollywood. In such a way that we could see a Céline wearing fitted dresses with side openings, which finally took advantage of her spectacular bone structure and her turned legs.

The influencer withdrew from the game and Claudia Bahamón was in charge of making this news known to her teammates. Kika Nieto entered to participate with 22 celebrities in the most important kitchen reality show in Colombia, a dream come true for the 26-year-old girl who has become famous on YouTube for having varied content that achieves identification with the youth audience. Through her time at the MasterChef Celebrity kitchen, Kika demonstrated all her cooking skills, impressing more than one for her technique to put in place, her dedication to detail and her creations full of creativity and dedication. Throughout the weeks in which he competed he made affinity with celebrities such as Sebastián Silva, Isabella Santodomingo, Adriana Lucía, among others, with whom he shared the challenge of cooking with a very high level. He also had tense moments like those he lived when he was left with the black apron for a sauce that failed to reach the expected point and that made him at risk with his partner Pedro Palacio. In addition, the public discovered that the influencer did not have much affinity with foods such as paw, tripe and other preparations that, although prepared by her husband, are not the favorite on her palate. Unfortunately and for strictly personal reasons, Kika Nieto withdrew from the competition, leaving an unease between his teammates who did not believe what happened. In fact, Claudia Bahamón was the one who had the task of communicating this decision of the young celebrity, to the other participants in the midst of a field challenge in Tobia, Cundinamarca In his replacement came to participate in the kitchen singer and actress Mariana Gómez, who was received in the best way by the rest of the contestants and who will try to win a quota at the end of the program.

The Brazilian publication Motor1 Brazil has discovered the registered patents of what is undoubtedly the BMW F 850 R 2020, the naked one with the twin twin engine of 850 c.c. of the F 850 GS, which will replace the current F 800 R. Seeing the sketches, the bike is very similar to the F 850 RS (in turn inspired by the 9Cento Concept we saw last year at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este), sharing the same engine, exhaust and chassis of the RS, as well as the same wheels. The shock seems to be different. The beautiful BMW 9Cento Concept of the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d’Este Apart from the absence of fairing - obviously - and sharing the same seat, the driving position differs, with a lower and advanced handlebar and higher footrests in the naked. A steering damper is also guessed. La F850R La F850RS The front features a single round headlight, broken by daylight and the instrument screen appears to be a digital display with an analog tachometer (in GS it is a TFT screen), possibly with the idea of offering a competitive price. We may see it in the EICMA, next to the F 850 RS.

The same day that the British Government presented the budgets before the House of Commons, the Italian double coat of the Prime Minister has given much to talk about There are few occasions when the clothes worn by a politician, no matter whether he is a man or a woman, matter especially. Maybe at the wedding of a member of royalty, for example. But where it is sure that it will attract attention is on the day in which the general budgets are presented. Tell Pedro Sánchez if that is a trivial matter. And what conclusions can we draw then from Theresa May's outfit choice? For starters it is a coat designed to look like two and it is known as a twofer. The double coat is a kind of trapntojo that has been in fashion since Balmain included it in its 2015 collection and has seen a lot on the fall-winter catwalks this season. Something that will not have gone unnoticed by May, who asked for "a lifetime subscription to Vogue" when asked on a radio show what would be taken to a desert island. The fact that he wears a coat designed to look like two demonstrates prior knowledge on the subject. Theresa May with the coat of discord. (EFE) Theresa May with the coat of discord. (EFE) And regarding the complexity of the layers and the fabrics that compose it and that give it extra insulation against the cold, could that not have something to do with climate change, which is not mentioned at all in this year's budgets ? Is the prime minister protected against a cold reception of her accounts or the anti-Brexit plans that fly over the country? Or maybe he purposely chose that model to look like he was wearing all the warm clothes in his closet at once, to give an impression of a saver, maybe? After all that shelter costs 850 euros, a considerable amount to spend in a time that is supposed to be austerity ... [READ MORE: The five coats every woman should have to fight the cold] The final touch is the brand: Herno. A company that specializes in quality but functional clothing. And it is in Lombardy. I mean in Italy. That is in the European Union. Has anyone said Brexit again? Let's leave it there. When Steve Bannon - Trump's ex-adviser then fell out of favor - once wore two shirts in public, his spokesman declared that "Steve always has an emergency plan. If he stains one shirt, he puts on the other." In the case of May, and since we live in a world where communication is increasingly visual, spend that amount on a simple coat and wear it the day your government is presenting cuts that will only benefit the kind of people who can afford to buy a luxury item like that does not seem the most sensible decision. You know, Pedro, wear two shirts if you want, but watch out for the coa

He asked the unions to support the initiative during his process at the Congress of the Republic. The head of state said that they will not regret the fact, but from the Government they are clear that the legislative process complied in order, but they respect the decision of the high court, which left the law in force until December 31. 'Unity of Spain is important for the world': Duke on Catalonia The return of Vargas Lleras to the campaign in public square Cascade of populist projects in the last stage of the campaign? This, Duque explained, is a challenge to "keep these incentives, this vision, so that it continues to apply from 2020. I believe that this is everyone's job, because that economic recovery law is not the president's whim, that it is not for me, this is for the country, when we are seeing the results, "said the president. He added that this year Colombia will grow above 3 percent, while Latin America 0.5 percent. In addition, foreign direct investment, Duque said, has increased more than 24 percent in the first half, something that was "not seen for many years." For this reason, and other positive indicators, the Head of State made a call to quickly remove that law, which is no other than the one that is in force today, "because the results are being seen," concluded the Head of State.

Second video 'teaser' that has presented the brand of Mattighofen of the new KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2020 (yes, because it is the SD), in which you can see more details of the super naked that we will see in the EICMA and We hope to try very soon. Although the new Super Duke R 2020 will not be able to match the Streetfighter V4 in power (208 hp for the Italian) and we assume about 180-185 hp, it will present significant improvements. In the first video we were briefly shown the new multitubular chassis type Trellis that will use the 1290 (inspired by that of the missing RC8); Now you can see other details, such as a larger radiator, longer side panels, or what appear to be ailerons or 'winglets', adding to the fashion born in MotoGP and that we have already seen not only in hypercars like the Panigale V4 R or the future Aprilia RS 660, but also in naked as the Ducati Streetfighter V4. In addition, the KTM naked features a new instrumentation, with a larger TFT display, new switches and improved suspensions and brakes. The KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2020 has already been ‘hunted’ in the Alps, in the testing phase. The model seen there did not wear ailerons. It could also be that this element is another accessory of Powerparts.
