Britain is facing a winter of discontent after 100,000 civil servants voted to strike today as comrades on the rail network agreed new dates and nurses decided on taking industrial action for the first time in more than a century. Salto de Castro, found in north-western Spain, has 44 homes, a hotel, a church and a swimming pool has been put up for sale by the current owner. The village is built over 65,000 square feet along the hilltops in the province of Zamora, near Spain's border with Portugal. But despite its picturesque location, Salto de Castro is home to no inhabitants, and has been abandoned for more than three decades. Morocco announced on Friday, November 4, that it had appointed a new person to oversee the public company that is in charge of the project to construct a 40km tunnel under the Strait of Gibraltar to link the north African county to Spain. During the Moroccan government council meeting held on Thursday 3, it was decided to appoint AbdelKabir Zahoud. Spain briefly closed parts of its airspace over risks posed by a Chinese rocket re-entering Earth's atmosphere. Barcelona and Ibiza airports were among those impacted by the grounding, which lasted around 40 minutes on Friday. The decision came after China sent its powerful Long March 5B rocket to deliver the final module of its Tiangong space station. Greta Thunberg believes it is time for her to 'give up the megaphone' on climate change issues - but called for more 'civil disobedience' as eco-protests sweep Europe.The teenage activist, 19, wants to step out of the limelight to make room for people who are actually suffering the effects of climate change, four years after starting her world-famous 'school strike for climate' movement Four people were killed, including a teenager, and eight others were injured early on Sunday after a car rammed into members of a wedding party near Madrid following a brawl, police said.The fight erupted at dawn outside a restaurant that was hosting the wedding in Torrejón de Ardoz, some 25 kilometres northeast of Madrid. The new regulations, which introduced fines for both, produced the desired effect and while prostitution continues, it is hidden from view. Fewer homeless are now seen sleeping in the city centre and many have moved on to neighbouring Elche. Mariano Valera, Elche’s Social Rights councillor, condemned the Alicante City law, approved with the votes of the Partido Popular, Ciudadanos and Vox parties, as “shameful” when it came into force. Watching violent television programmes from a young age has been scientifically linked to poor performance at secondary school. Researchers from the University of Montreal analysed the content shown to nearly 2,000 children aged 3.5 to 4.5. When the kids turned 12, the team asked them and their teachers to evaluate how well they thought they were doing at school. It was found that boys and girls exposed to violent content in early childhood were more likely to experience 'increases in emotional distress' later on. Uk Labour's Ed Miliband today backed calls for taxpayers' money to be given to countries such as Pakistan and the Maldives for 'loss and damage' from climate change.The shadow climate and net zero secretary insisted it was 'morally right' to hand money to poorer nations that are 'on the frontline of the climate crisis'.As the Cop-27 climate change summit begins in Egypt, Mr Miliband stressed it would also be in Britain's 'self-interest' to boost aid to developing countries.But, while he highlighted both Pakistan and the Maldives as possible recipients of 'loss and damage' payments, he denied it would also see China handed cash
