Sánchez picks a cabinet of deal-makers to navigate tensions in Spain Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has unveiled his new coalition cabinet, bringing on board regional Socialist leaders alongside ministers from his previous term.Sánchez said that he had chosen ministers with a talent for “managing, but also for reaching agreements and explaining them to the public.” In a fractious political atmosphere, and with no overall majority for Sánchez, these skills will be vital if the government is to succeed. The Socialist leader heads a minority, coalition administration which will need to gain the support of a variety of far-left and separatist parties in Spain’s hyper-fractured parliament to pass any laws.Women occupy all four of the deputy prime minister positions in the gender-balanced cabinet, which Sánchez said reflected a government committed to feminist progress.Nadia Calviño remains deputy prime minister in charge of economic policy but is widely expected to step down in the coming weeks if her nomination for the presidency ...

I-10 is fully reopened after arson fire, just in time for Monday morning's rush hour LOS ANGELES (AP) — An elevated Los Angeles freeway closed for more than a week because of an arson fire reopened ahead of Monday morning's commute, at least a day earlier than previously announced and weeks ahead of the original estimate.“Welcome back, Los Angeles!” Mayor Karen Bass posted late Sunday on X, formerly known as Twitter.The Nov. 11 blaze, fed by flammable materials stored under the roadway in violation of a company’s lease, shut a mile-long stretch of Interstate 10 near downtown, snarling traffic as repair crews worked around the clock. Officials had said last week that all lanes were expected to reopen by Tuesday, but moved it up to Monday after significant progress. Gov. Gavin Newsom said recent safety inspections showed the span was safe to start reopening Sunday evening and that the freeway would be “fully operational” before Monday's rush hour. “It wasn't just speed that we were after. We wanted to make sure this thing was safe,” Newsom said at a news conference, j...
