Spanish people know deadly heatwaves are now an annual event. So why are our politicians in denial?

We need everyday solutions like ‘cool banks’ and shaded areas, as well as serious policies on emissions, says María Ramírez, deputy managing editor of elDiario.es

What's the origin of 'soul'?

No living soul knows.

The Germanic ancestor of the word 'soul' can be reconstructed, but attempts to reconstruct its further origin or find cognates in the other Indo-European languages have only been speculative.
