PSOE spokesperson Montse Mínguez defended her partner’s rental business after reports about its properties and evictions.

Her partner, Sergi Vélez, runs Nest Capital, a property group that buys, renovates and rents homes in Lleida, Spain.

A trial opened in Hamburg on Wednesday for former Ukrainian officer Serhii Kuznietsov, accused of helping organize the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline blasts.

His lawyers asked the court to dismiss the charges, arguing he cannot properly defend himself because Ukrainian military rules require him to keep state secrets.

The surplus adds to China’s trade imbalance with partners such as the European Union, which has called on Beijing to address it.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo has confirmed 9,066 Ebola cases and 4,381 deaths, according to Health Ministry figures released Tuesday.

The outbreak, caused by the Bundibugyo strain, has spread across seven provinces and is the country’s largest and deadliest on record.

There is no approved vaccine or treatment for this strain, and fighting, shortages and mistrust are hindering efforts to contain it.

Fear of Ebola is also leading some women to skip prenatal care or give birth at home, while children miss routine vaccinations.
