Cartagena, Spain —  

A Russian cargo ship likely carrying two nuclear reactors for submarines, possibly destined for North Korea, suffered a series of explosions and sank in unexplained circumstances, about 60 miles off the coast of Spain, a CNN investigation has found.

The extraordinary fate of the Ursa Major has been shrouded in secrecy since it sank on December 23, 2024. But it may mark a rare and high-stakes intervention by a Western military to prevent Russia from sending an upgrade in nuclear technology to a key ally, North Korea, CNN reporting suggests. The ship set sail just two months after Kim Jong Un had sent troops to assist with Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

In May 1917, three Portuguese children declared that they had seen an apparition of the Virgin Mary in a meadow. The prophecies they received fuelled anti-communist sentiment in the Cold War. In 1992, a witness told the BBC about the «miracles».

On 13 May 1917, 10-year-old Lucia dos Santos and her younger cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto were tending sheep in a field in Fátima, Portugal when, they claimed, they saw a shining figure in an oak tree.

La Provincia 53 (Sahara Occidental, serie de Onda Cero en el 50 aniversario de la Marcha Verde)

La provincia 53

Hace 50 años, coincidiendo con la muerte de Franco, España perdió su última colonia: un enorme territorio desértico, equivalente a la mitad de la superficie peninsular. Una colonia disfrazada de provincia y con procuradores en Cortes. La única parte del país en la que, en pleno franquismo, se toleraba el divorcio, la esclavitud y se enseñaba el Corán en las escuelas. Una provincia en la que se hablaba en español y en hasanía. Ésta es la historia de cómo España, después de cien años de presencia, abandonó el Sáhara Occidental y al pueblo saharaui.

Silenced: The War on Journalism (AJE)

A gripping look at journalism’s ultimate sacrifice, told through stories of courage, loss and unwavering conviction.

In a world where truth-telling can often mean life or death, this documentary shines a light on journalists who paid the ultimate price for their work. From war zones to political cover-ups, their courageous reporting exposed critical truths, but also made them targets. Through intimate interviews with their families, friends, and colleagues, the film provides a heartfelt tribute to their legacies while uncovering the dangerous realities of journalism today.

Drawing on rare footage, personal accounts, and expert analysis, the film goes beyond the headlines to explore the human stories behind the statistics. These are not just tales of loss but of bravery, conviction, and an unwavering belief in the public’s right to know. The documentary also reflects on the emotional toll faced by those left behind, who grapple with grief, fear, and often unanswered questions about justice.

As attacks on journalists rise globally, the film exposes how press freedom is under siege in both autocratic regimes and democratic societies. It challenges viewers to consider the value of truth in an age of misinformation and growing, often orchestrated, hostility towards the media.

By exploring the stories of those who gave their lives in pursuit of the truth, this film offers a sobering reminder of the risks journalists take to inform the world. At its core, it is a call to defend press freedom and to remember the individuals who believed that the role of journalism is the protection of the ruled over the ruler.

This is not just a story about journalism, but a testament to human courage and the enduring power and importance of truth.
