BARCELONA — Shopkeeper seeks comfort from her mannequin: A vendor sits at her shop during a major power outage in Spain, April 28, 2025. Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez attributed the outage to “strong oscillation” in the European grid, although the cause was still being investigated

Monday’s power failure was the second one since March 20, when a fire broke out, cutting off electricity at London’s Heathrow Airport. Security officials there endeavored to safeguard Great Britain’s energy grid against what some are calling Russian sabotage.

VANCOUVER — All politics is local, but not always vocal: Liberal Leader Mark Carney takes a moment after lighting a candle at a memorial for victims after a vehicle drove into a crowd during a Filipino heritage festival in British Columbia, April 27, 2025. Murder charges were filed against 30-year-old Kai-Ji Adam Lo, a suspect in the car ramming attack that killed 11 people between the ages of 5 and 65.

The attack shook Canada on the eve of federal elections that perhaps were already tipping the scales toward Carney.
