A high-speed Iryo train travelling from Málaga to Madrid derailed near the municipality of Adamuz in Córdoba province, crossing on to the opposite track where it hit an oncoming train, Adif, Spain’s rail infrastructure authority, posted on X.

The collision happened about 20 seconds after the derailment, so there was no time to activate an emergency brake, Renfe’s president, Álvaro Fernández Heredia said on the local radio station Cadena Ser, adding that “human error is practically ruled out”.

But Pahlavi is a divisive figure. As the heir of a violent authoritarian regime, his potential return is viewed suspiciously by some.

- Description
- Amid Trump's push for control of thee Arctic island, Greenland’s prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, told a joint press conference this week that the island would not be owned or governed by Washington, saying: “We choose Denmark.” Denmark used to run Greenland as a colony and continues to control its foreign and security policy. The US president first raised the idea of a US takeover of Greenland in 2019, during his first term, but has ramped up his rhetoric significantly since returning to the White House last year, saying the US would take it “one way or the other”. But what do people in Greenland think of Trump’s threats? The Guardian’s Nordic correspondent, Miranda Bryant, reports from Greenland’s snow-covered capital, Nuuk, where the fear is palpable.

- More than 570 protests have taken place across all of Iran’s 31 provinces, the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency reported on Sunday.

An internet shutdown imposed by the authorities on Thursday has largely cut the protesters off from the rest of the world, but videos that trickled out of the country showed thousands of people demonstrating.
Activists have said verification of reported human rights violations is difficult. However, one activist in Tehran told the Guardian they had witnessed security forces firing live ammunition at protesters and saw a 'very high' number killed, while other activists said the claims of police brutality were consistent with testimony they had been given

The mass anti-government protests, sparked by a sudden depreciation in the value of the country’s currency, are the largest in three years. And while they have not yet reached the size of the 2022 Woman, Life, Freedom demonstrations, they have alarmed Iran’s political and security leaders.
In his first speech since the protests started 13 days ago, the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, signalled that a greater crackdown was coming. He described protesters as “vandals” and “saboteurs”, and accused them of working on behalf of foreign agendas.
Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of the late shah of Iran, called for protests, trying to fill the leadership vacuum in the movement.
The protests began on 28 December in re...

“It will be felt when parents look at their bank accounts at the end of the year and see that they have saved more than $20,000 per child.

- How Israel allegedly recruits Palestinians to help its occupation
- Date posted
- 11 days ago
- Description
- On 14 October 2025, Hamas handed over four bodies to Israel as part of the US-brokered Gaza ceasefire. Israeli forensic experts confirmed the identities of three of the bodies, but said that one did not belong to them. Hamas insisted the fourth man was an Israeli soldier.
Subscribe to Guardian News on YouTube ► https://www.youtube.com/user/guardianwires?sub_confirmation=1
The body, however, was that of Khalil Dawas, a Palestinian from Jericho suspected of working with Israeli forces.
Like most stories involving collaborators – riddled with questions that never find answers – the reason Dawas went from being detained by the Israelis to being believed to be cooperating with them remains a mystery.
The Guardian’s Lorenzo Tondo explains what we know about his story – which is a tangle of contradictions, grey zones, secrecy and betrayal.
