Corea del Norte tendrá listos en unos días los altavoces para reanudar sus emisiones de propaganda hacia Corea del Sur, suspendidas desde hace 16 meses. Así lo ha anunciado este jueves Kim Yo-jong, la hermana del líder supremo norcoreano, Kim Jong-un. La poderosa dirigente también ha amenazado con represalias militares si futuros disparos de advertencia surcoreanos causan daños en su territorio o ponen en peligro a sus soldados. Seúl defiende que esas acciones son “legítimas y defensivas” y buscan impedir incursiones norcoreanas en su lado de la frontera. La tensión entre los dos vecinos ha aumentado desde finales de septiembre, después de que el estallido de unas minas hiriese a tres soldados surcoreanos, dos de ellos de gravedad.

The Office for National Statistics has also published a report on the gender pay gap. It says:
The gender pay gap for full-time employees has continued to decline in the UK. It was 6.8% in April 2026, down from 7.2% in April 2025. This compares with 9.4% a decade ago and 16.4% 25 years ago.
Secondly, I asked Healey whether he sees the banks as making excessive profits, which would be the coherent justification for him to increase the surcharge on bank profits – as he is expected to do in the Budget next week.
He said: “You know the banks are the engine of investment in this country. The banks are doing well at the moment and that is good to see.

Estamos en plena temporada de mangos nacionales, algo que se nota porque a) puedes comprarlos en la frutería sin tener que vender un órgano ni masticar hebras durante tres horas y b) no vienen en avión desde la otra punta del mundo –igual que los aguacates–, así que es el momento perfecto para disfrutar de ellos de todas las maneras posibles. En sopas frías para estos días aún calurosos, a mordiscos tal cual, en ensalada, chutney, con limón, sal y chile, en tartaletas de hojaldre, helados o como se te ocurra.

Some in UK’s security services questioned why Welsh Labour firebrand was of interest
Aneurin “Nye” Bevan, the Welsh Labour firebrand who spearheaded the creation of the NHS, was monitored by security services for more than two decades, though his personal file was “remarkably tame”, according to official files released to the public.
Bevan came to MI5’s attention in the 1930s over concerns about his links with known communists, papers released to the National Archives show. Monitoring continued even after he became a minister in the postwar Labour government that created the NHS.
