Women and girls die in Canary Islands port after migrant boat capsizes
Tragedy struck a boatload of migrants trying to reach Europe from Africa at the very end of their journey when their boat capsized within reach of the shore of the Canary Islands. Four women and three girls drowned in the chaotic scene in El Hierro's port while survivors clung to ropes and life preservers tossed to them by rescuers. Advertisement Spain's maritime rescue service, which located the boat some six miles from shore, said the boat keeled over as rescuers started removing children on to a rescue craft that was positioned between the migrant boat and the quay. The movement of people on the boat caused it to tip and then turn over, throwing the occupants into the water. Migrants were helped to safety (Europa Press via AP) Emergency services for the Canary Islands said four women, a teenage girl and two younger girls died in the accident. One of the girls was found by a rescue diver. 'The drama witnessed on El Hierro should move us all, (those) lives were lost in an attempt to find a better future,' Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Twitter. Advertisement A helicopter evacuated two more children, a girl and a boy, to a local hospital in a serious condition after they nearly drowned, the service added. Local media reports said the small boat appeared to be packed with over 100 people. Spanish rescuers and members of the Red Cross pulled people out of the water. Fernando Clavijo, regional president for the Canary Islands, said that there were people trapped inside a part of the boat who 'wouldn't get out'. The Spanish archipelago located off Africa's western coast has for years been a main route for migrants who risk their lives in dinghies and rubber boats unfit for long journeys in the open sea. Thousands have been known to die on the way to European territory. Advertisement Nearly 47,000 people who made the crossing last year reached the archipelago, surpassing previous records for a second time. Most were citizens of Mali, Senegal and Morocco, with many boarding boats to Spain from the coast of Mauritania. The arrivals include thousands of unaccompanied children. Some 10,800 people had arrived via the Atlantic to the Canary Islands by mid-May, which was down by 34% compared to the same period in 2024.

Seven migrants drown as boat capsizes at Spain's Canary Islands dock
Spanish emergency services say four women and three girls died when a small boat carrying migrants capsized while arriving to port at one of Spain's Canary Islands on Wednesday. Spain's maritime rescue service, which located the boat some 6 miles (9.6 kilometers) from the shore, said the boat tipped over as rescuers started removing minors as it arrived at a dock on the island of El Hierro. The movement of people on the boat caused it to tip and then turn over, dumping the occupants into the water, the service said. Emergency services for the Canary Islands said four women, a teenage girl and two younger girls perished in the accident. One of the girls was found by a rescue diver.

Spain denies power grid 'experiment' caused giant blackout
MADRID: Spain's government on Wednesday (May 28) denied a press report that an "experiment" on the national power grid caused a huge blackout that crippled the Iberian Peninsula one month ago. Authorities have been scrambling to find answers after the Apr 28 outage cut telecommunications, halted transport and plunged cities into darkness across Spain and Portugal. Conservative British daily newspaper The Telegraph reported on Friday, citing unnamed sources in Brussels, that Spanish authorities "were conducting an experiment before the system crashed, probing how far they could push reliance on renewables in preparation for Spain's rushed phase-out of nuclear reactors from 2027". "The government seems to have pushed the pace recklessly, before making the necessary investments in a sophisticated 21st-century smart grid capable of handling it," it added. Asked about the report in parliament, Ecological Transition Minister Sara Aagesen said: "It is false, totally false, that the government carried out any sort of experiment on the grid prior to the outage." "It is irresponsible to assign blame while the cause of the blackout remains under investigation. And it is equally irresponsible to claim that the government was conducting experiments," she added. The head of Spain's electricity operator REE, Beatriz Corredor, also called the report "completely false" in an interview with Spanish daily newspaper La Vanguardia published on Wednesday. "There was no excess of renewable energy" on Apr 28, nor short circuits, overloads or cyberattacks on the grid, she said, dismissing several widely circulated theories. Instead she said it appears that producers of "conventional" energy such as gas, nuclear and hydro plants "failed to properly regulate voltage" on the day of the outage.
