  1. The return of cycling took place this Thursday in Pamplona with the Navarra Womens Elite Classics, where 15 teams took the start, six of them from the World Tour, including the powerful Mitchelton-Scott, led by the world champion, Annemiek van Vleuten. However, at the last minute, 11 sets were dropped, as they were unable to provide the results of their PCR tests. The organization assures that it "complies scrupulously" with the health and safety protocol set by the Health department of the Government of Navarra. Likewise, she maintains that she continues "in permanent contact with the highest medical managers of the UCI." The main last minute absence was that of the CCC-Liv team, led by Marianne Vos. "The health risks in the Navarra region are too great," said Eric van den Boom, one of the heads of the Polish squad, who also lamented the "considerable increase" in positive cases in Navarra in the last two days. The organizers "flatly" denied the reasons for the CCC-Liv and informed their medical managers of "all the documentation" that had been required. Thus, 11 teams were left out of the test: Belori, Bizkaia-Durango, CCC-Liv, Colnago, Cronos-Casa Dorada, Farto-Aguas de Paraño, Laboral Kutxa-Fundación Euskadi, Massi-Tactic, Río Miera-Cantabria , Sopela and WCC Team. Hours before departure, the Alianza de Ciclistas (TCA) had warned of "significant risks" in the dispute of the Navarra Womens Elite Classics. "There is insufficient evidence that the Covid protocol has been followed and the teams have not received details of the organizers' risk assessment," the TCA statement said.
  2. With some verses from the Koran and a video from the city of Al-Jubail, which gives its name to the ship, the Navantia shipyard in San Fernando (Cádiz) launched at 5:22 p.m. the first of five corvettes for the Saudi Arabian Navy. This is a new milestone in the largest military export contract in the history of Spain: 1,800 million euros for the accounts of the Navantia public shipyard, currently immersed in other projects such as the F-110 frigates and the S-80 submarine for the Navy Spanish or two logistics ships for Australia. On behalf of the Saudi delegation, Vice Admiral Fahad bin Abdullah Al-Ghofaily, commander of the navy of this Arab country that is still waging a war in Yemen, appeared by videoconference. The Saudi military high command highlighted the importance of this project contracted to Navantia in 2018: It is one of the most important acquisition programs in terms of capabilities, reflecting a strong relationship between Spain and Saudi Arabia, and reinforcing cooperation between the two Armed in construction, formation and training. In addition, he noted that the success of this program is key to future contracts. The Saudi corvettes program, whose last ship will be delivered in 2024, includes in addition to construction, life cycle support for five years, from the delivery of the first ship, with the option of another five additional years. With this initial contract, Navantia hopes to reissue with Saudi Arabia the same formula for which it built two Juan Carlos I-type aircraft carriers, landing craft, two Patiño-class logistics ships, or assisted in the design and construction of destroyers, the latter. in Australian shipyards. In other words, it seeks to strengthen the relationship with Saudi Arabia at the level of military shipbuilding. Navantia's President, Susana Sarriá, was the main civil authority to assist in the launching of the warship. The Spanish representative highlighted Navantia's purpose of contributing to the development of Saudi Arabia's naval and industrial capacities through other future programs. Along with the president of Navantia, the head of the Arsenal in Cádiz, vice-admiral Ricardo A. Hernández, attended the ceremony. Since the cutting of the first plate of the Al-Jubail corvette was carried out, in January 2019, all the workshops of Navantia San Fernando and also of Puerto Real have worked so that this first Saudi corvette is launched on date. In recent months, the coronavirus pandemic caused some setback but without influencing launch and subsequent delivery times. The second corvette, called Aldiriyah, will be launched in November.
  3. This time, it is a model T880 unit with a 52-inch bedroom, model year 2021, equipped with a 450 horsepower Cummins X15 Euro 5 engine and Eaton UltraShift automated transmission. José Luis Peña, from Promapesa, and Ricardo Rizo, General Manager of Kenworth de Jalisco, who highlighted the equipment of this unit in terms of powertrain, were present at the delivery ceremony of said unit, stressing that the UltraShift transmission is characterized by offering the best conditions in comfort and precision in handling the unit. Similarly, Ricardo Rizo expressed his gratitude to Promapesa for once again trusting Kenworth as his ally and he is sure that it will represent the key element to continue growing and maintaining the competitive advantage in the operation of his business. The Tapa transport company Promapesa is based in the Guadalajara metropolitan area, and has been dedicated to the manufacture, transportation and distribution of construction materials for more than three decades, with coverage in states such as Jalisco, Michoacán, Nayarit, Colima and Guanajuato.
  4. There are few times when the holder of a sentence does not comply with the practical conclusions drawn from its content. The case of the ruling on the compensation list for the training of female soccer players sub'23 that was released this Wednesday by the National Court is an obvious example. The sentence dictates that the list is not null, but in practice no player who was released this summer is going to stop signing for the team they want because of it. Because you can do it without the destination club having to pay anything for it, contrary to what the list says whose validity has been countersigned. The case exploded a few months ago, in full confinement. The logic and fair satisfaction of women's football for the definitive signing of the first collective agreement in its history, suddenly, was not complete. The advance for the rights of the footballers was immense, of course, but the unions had slipped a Chinese shoe, perhaps very small for the group, but giant for a handful of affected players. The full translation of an article of the men's agreement meant that the clubs could retain under-23 players who had ended their contracts for absolutely disproportionate amounts. A legal loophole discovered when the agreement was already signed. Thus, Levante decided to claim 500,000 euros if Eva Navarro and Ona Batlle left the club; Athletic, 250,000 for Maite Oroz and Damaris Egurrola; Barcelona, 100,000 for five other players. Astronomical figures for a market like women's soccer. In Spain, the maximum that has been paid for the transfer of a player is 50,000 euros. Logroño, Espanyol and Madrid CFF (not to be confused with Real Madrid) also requested lower amounts for some of their sub'23 players, between 20,000 and 10,000 euros, completing the compensation list.
  5. Dad, are you not bullfighting with your bullfighter friends today? Asks eight-year-old Paula. Paula is one of the two daughters of Ramón Moya, a banderillero who has been trading for a quarter of a century. But now I have no rights, only obligations. This Madrid junior has no job. You don't help. SEPE denies us what by law belongs to us and the situation of many colleagues is already unsustainable. More than one, many, are going to soup kitchens to be able to eat. Moya, like so many other silver men, demonstrates in front of the large door of the Ministry of Labor, a door that is systematically closed to them. What would you say to the minister if you passed by here? I would show him the photos of my daughters, Paula and Ana, who when they asked me where I was going I have told them to fight for what belongs to them. I would also say to Mrs. Yolanda Díaz that we have tax obligations and we contribute a lot to the Treasury. This season is very uncertain, there is no color. Mrs Yolanda, we are starving and we are being marginalized. At this point in the calendar, Ramón Moya -in his extensive career has acted under the orders of El Fundi, El Juli, Perera, Cristina Sánchez, Padilla and Robleño, among others- calculates that he would have fought about 30 celebrations: This year I am on the loose. And I don't have a contract, I could have easily lost fifteen or twenty thousand euros. He says that many are already desperately looking for work in other jobs, but it is very difficult: ours is fighting. Nearby, Cayetano Rivera Ordóñez, probably the matador who is most involved in this crisis and showing his face -even with the tripping inside-, talks with his gang, his other family. I am here in support of the people who are leaving this Government behind, and who also decide who to leave behind solely based on their ideology. It is an injustice and we want to give voice and try to support those people who are being discriminated against, to support those who have neither food nor they nor their families. This is no longer a matter of bullfighting, this is a matter of people. And this government is leaving them behind. Discrimination stretches like a shadow: We do not feel represented either by the Ministry of Labor or by the Ministry of Culture, which does consider us, as is logical and normal, within its Ministry, but then it is not showing its face nor defending the people who belong to his Ministry. Here they all have responsibilities and of course they are not fulfilling them. However, the world of the bull does have and all the obligations, like all the others, and does not receive the same rights. There is a very clear injustice that must be communicated, that people must know.
  6. Numerous awards and comparative tests attest to this. With the e-tron GT, Q4 e-tron and Q4 e-tron Sportback, Audi looks towards an electric 2021 in both senses of the word. In the first half of 2020, Audi delivered 17,641 units of the e-tron to customers around the world. This represents an increase of 87 percent compared to the previous year's figures, a weight of the difficult market situation due to the coronavirus pandemic. As a result, Audi's electric model is well ahead of its competitors in the global electric SUV segment. It is also the best-selling electric SUV in Europe. In particular, the Audi e-tron is a highly sought after model in the Scandinavian market. In Norway, a pioneering country in the field of electric mobility, it was the best-selling car during the first half of the year; The e-tron represents 92 percent of the Audi marketed in this country. It also accounts for a significant part of deliveries in Iceland (93 percent), Sweden (12 percent) and Israel (14 percent). In the United States, e-tron has registered a sales increase of more than 50 percent compared to the previous year. Hildegard Wortmann, Head of Sales and Marketing at Audi AG, notes: “The Audi e-tron is a true game changer and clearly illustrates our vision of progressive and sustainable premium mobility. Our first electric SUV combines design, dynamism and quality with the latest technology to offer emission-free and uncompromising driving. The e-tron marks the beginning of a new era for Audi. We will continue this success story. ” Fast charging and tariffs over long distances are your weapons for success The success of the Audi e-tron is mainly due to its versatility for day-to-day use. In addition to its great habitability, its autonomy on long journeys plays a decisive role. Long distances are not a problem for the e-tron Sportback 55, which offers a range of 446 kilometers (WLPT), nor for the e-tron 55, with a range of 436 kilometers (WLTP). In addition, drivers benefit from fast charging speeds. Charging power of up to 150 kW is available in a significant proportion of the recharging process. This makes it possible that, for a range of about 110 kilometers, the customer waits just under 10 minutes at the charging point. The battery of the Audi e-tron 55 reaches 80 percent of its capacity after approximately 30 minutes. The Audi e-tron Charging Service Charging Service provides another great advantage in your everyday use. This premium service allows access to around 155,000 public charging points in 25 countries that use a card. When driving abroad, customers can charge their car according to local purchasing conditions at no additional cost. The myAudi app and the Audi navigation system make operation particularly easy. In addition to planning the route and reporting charging points, the driver can also find out if the charging terminal is available for use at that time.
  7. The Galician forward arrives at the white club after the payment of 1.5 million euros of his clause. From Rudy Fernández such an ambitious national signing was not undertaken Alberto Abalde's arrival at Real Madrid is official, until the end of the 2024-2025 season, after the payment of a million and a half euros of the termination clause to Valencia Basket. A strategic signing, although it was precipitated by the white setback in the Extraordinary Final Phase, which made it all rethink for the next course. An acquisition of present and future, the most appetizing national forward of the present time, the transfer that had to be made. Although now it's time to show it. The Ferrolano, a basketball pedigree -his father, a Galician basketball classic with a career in ACB, the career of his sister Tamara is extraordinary-, he goes on a mission with more responsibility than is presumed. He must be the one to take over and replace two of the best outsiders in the history of the club, none other than Sergio Llull (32 years old) and Rudy Fernández (35), proper names of an era. And, unlike Carlos Alocén, the other national signing (although it was undertaken last summer and its incorporation has become effective after his transfer to Zaragoza), with no margin for the adaptation period, with the requirement -for what it cost , for what he will charge, for what he has already shown - from the first day of those who already shone until in the Euroleague (almost 50 games), which sets the bar for what is valid or not in Real Madrid. Historically, it has not been easy to carry the 'national' flag in the white club. Not so many signings were executed and not so many succeeded. The last of them, without being a youth squad, was Rudy Fernández himself, a gem that came from the NBA itself, with everything already proven. A luxury then, in 2012. Of those who change dynamics. Other projects did not even have the opportunity, there, in limbo, the bets for Sebas Saiz or Alex Suárez remained. Many youth players had to leave (Dani Díez, Willy Hernangómez, Santi Yusta ...). And signings that would have been ideal in the long run, such as that of Víctor Claver, ended up at Barça.

  8. Aragon has become the main focus of Covid in Spain, without the authorities having hitherto been correct in explaining why this region has had a re-emergence of this caliber, especially disproportionate if it takes into account the low demographic weight of this community. in the whole of Spain. No other community comes close to Aragon in terms of new infections. Catalonia does not even come close to it, which proportionally has far fewer cases than Aragon, less than half. In Catalonia the absolute figure is very large, but much less than in Aragon when compared to the inhabitants of that community. And that is really what allows us to analyze the epidemiological situation that occurs in a territory, because it is what really reveals how more or less widespread the disease is, the speed at which it spreads and the size of the problem. And, above all, to be able to compare different territories in homogeneous terms. The figures are overwhelming: according to official Health data, in the last seven days Aragón has notified 126 new infections for every 100,000 inhabitants. Catalonia has registered 51 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, and the Spanish average - without counting Aragon - amounts to 14 new cases per 100,000 inhabitants. In other words, in the last seven days, the rate of new infections from Covid in Aragon is nine times higher than in the rest of Spain. And more than double that in Catalonia, the other region that concentrates the worst wave of infections that is currently occurring in our country. Another fact that clearly reflects the dimension of the problem that is concentrated in Aragon is the leading role it has acquired in the total number of new infections detected in Spain, which contrasts with its very low demographic weight in the country as a whole. Thus, in the last seven days, Aragon concentrates 20% of the new infections detected nationwide, despite the fact that only 2.8% of the Spanish po[CENSORED]tion lives in this region. It is the thorny panorama with which the gynecologist Sira Repollés has been dealing for weeks at the head of the Aragonese Ministry of Health, which she arrived a couple of months ago, on May 14. The regional president Javier Lambán signed her as a counselor after dropping his hitherto counselor Pilar Ventura, who starred in a resounding resignation. Ventura resigned after a controversial episode that put Lambán's executive, the four-party PSOE-Podemos-Chunta-PAR, on the spot.
