Glee vuelve. Las cuentas oficiales de Hulu, Disney+ y la propia serie anunciaron el miércoles el regreso de la ficción musical con el mensaje “Es oficial: Glee está de vuelta”. El anuncio no precisa el formato, ni si será una continuación o un reinicio con personajes nuevos, y tampoco ofrece fecha de estreno. El proyecto se encuentra todavía en una fase temprana de desarrollo.
Poco después, Variety informó, según fuentes vinculadas al proyecto, de que Lea Michele retomará su papel de Rachel Berry. Ni los representantes de la actriz ni los de Ryan Murphy han hecho comentarios oficiales. Semanas atrás, Michele había dicho a E! que ama la serie y que siempre la amará.
El regreso llega con un asunto pendiente. En junio de 2020, Michele fue el centro de una de las mayores polémicas de la historia de la serie. Tras publicar un mensaje de apoyo al movimiento Black Lives Matter después de la muerte de George Floyd, su excompañera Samantha Ware respondió que Michele le había hecho “un infierno” su primer trabajo en televisión durante la sexta temporada, en 2015.
Ware tenía 23 años cuando se incorporó en 2015 a la sexta temporada, con un papel recurrente en 11 episodios. Aseguró que Michele le dijo que, si pudiera, defecaría sobre su peluca, y en una entrevista con Variety detalló más episodios. Según su relato, la amenazó con pedir a Ryan Murphy que la despidiera delante de bailarines y figurantes, le aplicó la ley del silencio y le hizo comentarios por lo bajo.
Ware matizó que no estaba llamando racista a Michele. Dijo que, a su juicio, la actriz sufre un síntoma de vivir en una industria “hecha a medida de las personas blancas”. Pero sí calificó de microagresiones lo que vivió y señaló que, al intentar hablarlo con el equipo, la respuesta fue que Michele “es así”.
La publicación abrió la puerta a otros testimonios. Alex Newell, Amber Riley y Dabier Snell respaldaron a Ware en redes, y Yvette Nicole Brown, que coincidió con Michele en la serie The Mayor, dijo haber sentido cada mayúscula del tuit. Heather Morris escribió que, por cómo trató a los demás durante tanto tiempo, Michele debía ser señalada, y explicó después que el reparto no hablaba por miedo.
No era la primera vez que se hablaba de un ambiente tenso en el rodaje. En sus memorias, Sorry Not Sorry (2016), Naya Rivera escribió que ambas eran competitivas y que a Lea no le gustaba compartir el foco, aunque sostenía que los rumores de enemistad se habían exagerado. Rivera murió en julio de 2020, apenas un mes después de la polémica.
Michele respondió en Instagram sin nombrar a Ware. Dijo que no recordaba haber dicho lo que se le atribuía, pero que lo importante era que había hecho daño, y pidió disculpas. Según Variety, Ware recibió después una carta de disculpa a través de sus representantes. Una empresa de reparto de comida con la que Michele colaboraba anunció que rompía la relación comercial con ella.
Dos años después, en 2022, Michele asumió el papel de Fanny Brice en el musical Funny Girl en Broadway, en sustitución de Beanie Feldstein. Ware volvió a manifestarse en Twitter cuando se conoció el fichaje.

Company ordered to stop work at two sites in country, which has found itself at forefront of tech firms’ latest push
Behind a wire fence lies a vast gaping wound of earth. Before Google’s arrival a few months ago, an estimated quarter of a million trees occupied the 330 hectares (815 acres) of forest near the town of Muhos in rural northern Finland. Now they are all gone.
After the tech company illegally stripped the entire area to build a datacentre – taking even the top soil with it – all that remains is a vast expanse of mud indented with the trail marks of machinery, puddles and mounds of earth, roots and branches. Residents say that brown water flowing off the site is going into a stream that feeds the Oulujoki River.

The accumulated public sector liabilities stood at £3.005 trillion, equivalent to €3.57 trillion, according to the provisional estimate released by the National Statistics Office. The figure represented 94 percent of UK gross domestic product and marked a historic high, the agency reported.
The balance grew by £91.7 billion compared with the level recorded twelve months earlier, about €109.074 billion, according to the provisional estimate.

Despite the nominal record, the weight of the liabilities on the economy as a whole fell by seven tenths compared with the 2025 level, the agency reported. The agency recalled that net debt exceeded £2 trillion in June 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and had surpassed £1 trillion in February 2010, following the global financial crisis.
September public borrowing amounted to £24.5 billion, or €29.142 billion, and was the second highest recorded for that month, according to the National Statistics Office. Only the September 2020 figure, unadjusted for inflation, was higher. Compared with the previous year, the imbalance increased by £1.8 billion, or 7.7 percent, because spending growth outpaced income growth, the agency reported.

Central government debt interest reached £10.9 billion in September, the highest figure recorded in the ninth month of the year since monthly records began in 1997, according to the National Statistics Office.
Annual inflation stood at 3.5 percent in September, four tenths above the August figure and the largest increase since October 2025, according to the National Statistics Office. The price of goods rose 3.2 percent year on year, compared with 2.7 percent in August, while services became 3.7 percent more expensive. Core inflation, which excludes energy, food, alcohol and tobacco, advanced to 2.8 percent, two tenths more than in August.
Da molti mesi, il Cockroach Janta Party dell’India, conosciuto come il Movimento degli Scarafaggi, in riferimento agli esclusi, chiede profondi cambiamenti nel sistema politico indiano. L’ultima protesta, dove hanno partecipato principalmente giovani, esigeva le dimissioni del ministro dell’Istruzione indiano, Dharmendra Pradhan. La manifestazione è diventata violenta, con feriti e detenuti.
Gli “scarafaggi” chiedono anche le dimissioni del commissario elettorale, Gyanesh Kumar. Lo accusano di avere annullato il diritto al voto di circa 130 elettori. Ma tra le richieste ci sono anche più diritti, protezione e autonomia per le donne, dopo il caso di stupro di gruppo di una ragazza di 17 anni a New Delhi alla fine di settembre del 2026, diventato simbolo dello stato precario della sicurezza nel Paese.
Una delle portavoce di questa causa è la giovane attivista Gurmehar Kaur. Nata a Jalandhar nel 1996, si è laureata al Lady Shri Ram College e ha un master all’Università di Oxford. È ambasciatrice dell’organizzazione benefica inglese “Postcards for Peace”, che si dedica a combattere ogni forma di discriminazione. Nel 2017 la rivista Time l’ha definita una “paladina della libertà di parola”, e l’ha considerata uno dei “10 leader della prossima generazione”. Ha scritto un libro autobiografico intitolato “Small Acts of Freedom” e “The Young and the Restless: Youth and Politics in India”.
Il suo attivismo l’ha portata a numerosi arresti. Il prezzo da pagare per le giovani donne che si battono per un cambiamento è molto più alto rispetto agli uomini. Kaur racconta che, mentre i colleghi maschi festeggiano la visibilità nei media, le donne si preparano a minacce di morte, stupro, umiliazioni e altri abusi in rete. Su internet si trovano immagini sessualizzate delle manifestanti create con intelligenza artificiale, inserite tra quelle delle proteste.
In un’intervista all’emittente tedesca Deutsche Welle, Kaur ha spiegato che per lei “la resistenza non può essere un evento isolato. Un giorno e il seguente tornare alla vita quotidiana […] La resistenza è essere presenti e mettere il corpo in prima linea”. Per questo ha deciso di entrare a fare parte del gruppo giovanile del Congresso Nazionale, il primo partito dell’opposizione dell’India.
To return to 1.5 °C by the end of the century, countries must cut global emissions by 18 percent by 2030, 45 percent by 2035 and 69 percent by 2040, according to the report.
Global warming will overshoot 1.5°C in the coming years.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres declared that surpassing the limit did not mean giving up, referring to the need to maintain ambitious climate targets despite the overshoot.

UNEP Executive Director Inger Andersen stressed that each additional fraction of a degree and each extra year of warming above 1.5 °C would worsen climate impacts and risks, including deadly floods, heat waves and wildfires that have swept numerous countries this year, and said all possible efforts were needed to limit the peak and return to 1.5 °C by the end of the century, which she said was possible.
The chance to keep global warming below 1.5°C with no overshoot is gone.

Ahead of the start of the second Global Stocktake at COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, UNEP set concrete fossil fuel reduction targets relative to 2025 levels.
By 2035, the agency proposes reducing coal supply by 55 percent, oil by 15 percent and gas by 5 percent; by 2040, it proposes raising the cuts to 75 percent for coal, 30 percent for oil and 35 percent for gas.
La bifurcación de los carriles de salida existente en el tronco de la autovía A-5 que se sitúa a la altura de la calle de Illescas se modificará y pasarán a discurrir por ambos lados de la futura boca del túnel desde este viernes.
El Ayuntamiento de Madrid está ejecutando ya las obras la urbanización, que permitirán acabar en superficie con la barrera que suponía la autovía para los vecinos de los barrios de Lucero, Aluche y Las Águilas, del distrito de Latina, separados desde 1968 de Campamento (Latina) y Casa de Campo (Moncloa-Aravaca).
La reorganización temporal desde este viernes permitirá liberar el espacio necesario para ejecutar actuaciones como la reposición de la canalización de agua potable afectada por las obras, así como la construcción del vial definitivo en superficie.
La urbanización a lo largo de los 3,2 kilómetros del Paseo Verde del Suroeste ha comenzado en distintos tramos. Por ahora se actúa en la configuración final de las vías reservadas a los vehículos de la zona, el carril bici, la base de la primera intervención de la M-30 y una zona verde cercana a la pasarela verde ciclista. Todo se ubica en los alrededores de la superficie que da cobijo a la entrada del túnel de tres kilómetros que conectará con la M-30 en la avenida de Portugal.

At a press conference, Camilo Santana, campaign coordinator for the Workers’ Party (PT), explained that the head of state seeking reelection has no problem with the conditions imposed by the other side. Santana said that regarding all the conditions Flávio has set, the president’s response is that he does not oppose anything proposed, as long as Flávio complies with and discloses everything contained in the request filed with the Superior Electoral Court (TSE).
The PT team specified that Thursday at 11:00 a.m. local time is the deadline for the far-right Liberal Party candidate to release his financial data and that of his circle, adding that Bolsonaro cannot wait until after the elections and that the deadline expires tomorrow.

The topic stems from last Sunday’s televised debate, in which Lula challenged the far-right senator to disclose the bank accounts of both candidates to show “who is honest and who is a thief.”
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said he would submit authorization to the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) to lift bank secrecy protections on his accounts and those of his family members.

After the debate, the president presented a formal authorization before the electoral body on Tuesday to release his data and that of his wife and children, but Bolsonaro responded that he would only agree if the review were extended to people linked to the government’s circle.
The PT has accepted the conditions and added to the review the finances of former chief of staff Marco Aurélio Santana Ribeiro and of the president’s brother, José Ferreira da Silva, as well as the record of businesswoman Roberta Luchsinger’s access to the Presidential Palace.
After accepting the requests, the Workers’ Party team questioned the opposition’s delay in joining the initiative. Santana said that if Bolsonaro owes nothing, he should have accepted President Lula’s challenge last Sunday.

Colau’s delegation was cleared through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) required due to the island’s colonial status, but her own application was denied. She was then advised to attend a personal interview at the embassy in Madrid. During that meeting two weeks ago, diplomatic staff focused their questions on her position on the conflict, with sources close to her saying the entire interview dealt with the Flotilla and her pro-Palestinian activism, with repeated insistence on the three days she was detained in Israel.

After the interview, U.S. authorities issued a definitive denial, citing suspicion that she wants to illegally migrate to the country.
Colau rejected the measure and denounced it as evident political censorship, pointing out that while Javier Milei can travel freely to Spain to insult the press and the public, Donald Trump prohibits her from entering Puerto Rico, which she described as a colony occupied by the United States. She made the statement in response to the ban.

Judge Francis Mathew set the fine on Wednesday after a jury determined that Facebook made misleading promises about who could access user data and how that information was protected, according to the ruling. The jury found 26 statements by Meta made between 2010 and 2021 to be misleading, including some by CEO Mark Zuckerberg and then-chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg.
RELATED: US Supreme Rejects Trump’s Bid to End Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Inmates
In his ruling, Mathew wrote that Facebook’s misconduct, developed over years and systematically disseminated to the public, went to the core of its business practices. According to the ruling, the company maintained those promises despite internal warnings that it could not fulfill them, and allowed certain business partners to retain access to data it had announced it would stop sharing in order to avoid losing revenue. The judge concluded that the messages sought to build trust and attract users, whose data are essential to the company’s personalized advertising business.
The case is deeply tied to Cambridge Analytica, a British consulting firm that worked for Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and obtained data from millions of Facebook users without consent to promote political advertising, according to a statement from the New Mexico Department of Justice. Revelations about the firm, made public in 2018, affected up to 87 million profiles and sparked an international scandal over the use of personal information by social networks and their role in electoral campaigns. The trial also examined what Facebook said publicly about its efforts to combat disinformation and hate speech.

Although the judge initially calculated a fine of more than $219 billion, he ultimately reduced the amount to $25 billion, which will accrue annual interest of 15% until effective payment. The money will go to New Mexico’s education system, although the attorney general warned that an appeal by Meta could delay the availability of the funds.
New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez presented the decision as one of the largest financial penalties against a company in U.S. history.
