The images have gone around the world: gang members in underwear, sitting inside a maximum security prison in El Salvador. Their cells are being searched. From now on they are locked up more than ever, until metal plates have been put on the doors to the cells and the inmates will be mixed with different gangs. The country's president, Nayib Bukele, alarmed at the street killings - which some suspect were ordered from jails - says that from now on, both the Army and the Police will be able to use deadly force against these gangs. The photographs have been criticized by human rights groups. Far away from there, in Lebanon, there have been violent demonstrations against the Government security forces due to the lack of food and the high prices due to confinement due to the pandemic. Some call them the "Hunger Protests." While in Spain, more than 17% of the health force has already been or is infected by covid-19: more than 38,000 people, and at least 37 would have died, according to Spanish media. For this reason, when a senior health official from the regional government of Castilla y León wanted to pay tribute to the deceased in her region - naming them one by one - and was unable to do so, she fell apart emotionally. We finished the round with cinema: the pandemic has caused that none of the great international festivals can be held, which is why 20 of them have joined in the creation of a worldwide internet festival. It's called We Are One A Global Film Festival, and it starts on May 29. Some movies will be free to watch on YouTube and the benefits will help fight the pandemic.
