🇪🇸 Spain records at least five fatal high-speed rail accidents in 2026 1) Adamuz rail disaster (January 18) A high-speed Iryo train derailed in Adamuz (Córdoba) on the Madrid–Seville line after a fractured rail weld. Seconds later, a southbound Renfe train slammed into the derailed carriages, killing 46 and injuring 292. 2) Gelida train derailment (January 20) Commuter train hit a collapsed wall damaged by Storm Harry. Trainee driver killed, at least 37 injured. 3) Cartagena train accident (January 22) A passenger train in Cartagena collided with a crane arm on the tracks. Six people were injured. No fatalities. 4) Talavera la Real accident (February 12) Another rail incident in Talavera la Real added further pressure on infrastructure manager Adif. 5) Toledo high-speed collision (October 28) Today’s rear-end collision between an Iryo and a Renfe train on the Madrid-Andalusia line in Toledo has left at least 39 dead and shut down major southbound traffic. At least 86 were killed across the five accidents. Earlier incidents alone injured at least 335 people. Today’s Toledo crash happened on the same line as the January 18 Adamuz disaster. Video from the scene of the deadly Toledo rail collision

Horrible to see! Why have the Spanish had to suffer so many of these in one year? Is there a particular reason why the Spanish are so prone to these? Lack of funding, health and safety check, staff training?

Is this really what the majority of brits would consider justice? If not then how has a democratic society become so disconnected with its judicial system? Should the law not be a reflection of the people that vote for said laws?

Congratulations to my friend @LulaOficial on his electoral victory. Democracy and multilateralism have won in Brazil. Europe’s partnership with Brazil is thriving. We will remain by your side for the years to come. Together we will keep working closely for free and open trade. A rules-based global order. And strong ambitions for our climate.

Is this the right move to congratulate a president before the challenge of the opposition has gone through? Especially with how narrow this win was?

No children lucky enough to have loving grandparents she ever react like this to a sign of their affection. Give me one reason why this isn't an advert on modernism gone too far. Why are we so scared to tell children to just grow up hug your grandparents? Or grow up and stop rioting? When did we allow the kids of today to get whatever they want?

Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people.

So say we go another 1000 years and the world is burning and everyone is dying. Say this happened either way due to china, India and other emerging nations with massive energy needs. Would us being on the good side of history mean anything in the next 100 years or not? If the world doesn’t burn either way then would it matter if we partook or not? Seeing as whatever we do it will be up to the larger nations whether we succeed in stopping climate change or not.

Should these people be punished harder? Or are these punishments justified? Would it not be beneficial to separate rioters from protesters by coming down much harder on the rioters? Is there a reason not to come down hard on the rioters?

Because of the price of living in cities and the fact that council housing is mostly centred in big cities you get this strange outcome in Europe where migrants get to live in a city that the general population can't afford. What's the possible fix to help spread out this event rather than keeping it centred in cities?

Labour has cut £2bn from front-line Army equipment as John Healey tries to fill a defence spending black hole in his first Budget. The Ministry of Defence has dropped plans to develop three new battlefield vehicles, including one that would have been capable of recovering Britain’s Boxer armoured vehicles if they were damaged in combat. 🔗 telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

Only two weeks ago the UK government was saying British people must prepare to sacrifice for war. Why would they say this and then continue to cut military spending on an already dried up military? Why would people want to fight for the UK anymore?
