Remembrance, debt and diplomacy: the five stories shaping the day. 1. Spain: The circle of Salomé Pradas, under investigation over management of the flood that left 233 dead in Valencia on 29 October 2024, says nobody should be charged and points to others responsible for monitoring watercourses, near the anniversary. 2. Colombia: The Colombian Government carried out a second domestic public debt reprofiling operation worth COP$10,3 billones (Colombian pesos), cutting 2026 maturities by 50% and those of 2027 by 19%; the program now accumulates COP$30,1 billones exchanged, at a cost of COP$467.000 millones, and will hold its third and last window of the year on 19 November 2026. 3. United States: A memorandum from Jay Clayton to Marco Rubio, copied to John Ratcliffe, warns that Iran substantially stepped up plans against United States personnel, now in an advanced phase in the Middle East and other countries, and pledges to share intelligence with authorized staff. 4. Turkey: Foreign ministers from the R4 group and from France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom met in Istanbul on 23 October 2026 and agreed to address regional conflicts through dialogue, diplomacy and de-escalation. 5. Colombia: A judge ordered preventive detention for Jorge Andrés Castañeda Díaz, alias Barbas, and Ashley Valentina Pozo Delgado for their alleged participation in the explosives attack against the Pichincha Battalion in Cali; neither accepted the charges and the investigation remains open. 📌 Editor's note: five stories setting the pulse of the week, from Valencia to Cali.
