Queen Letizia opted for smart casual for the outing, in a striped black and white tee and black tailored trousers. She completed her look with black leather shoes.

The Queen of Spain, 50, wore her brunette locks loose for the occasion and kept her makeup natural as she greeted locals and spoke to children in traditional attire.

Her eldest daughter Princess Leonor looked just as stylish as her mother in a light pink jumper and cream cargo pants. She tied her blonde hair back in a ponytail.

Leonor has been studying at UWC Atlantic College in Wales since September 2021 but returned to Spain for half the semester.

Leonor, who has started her second year at UWC Atlantic College at St Donat’s Castle in Wales, will train with all three branches of the Spanish military from September 2023.

Felipe and Letizia’s daughter will follow in her father’s footsteps and train in the Army, Navy and Spanish Air Force before continuing the rest of her university studies.

Last month, Spanish newspaper El Pais reported that Leonor’s military training would culminate with a stint aboard the Juan Sebastián de Elcano, a Spanish Navy training ship.

It was also announced that the young princess would study law at university after completing her education in the military.

Her choice of university has not yet been announced, but her educational path is very similar to that of her father, King Felipe VI.

After graduating from Lakefield College in Canada, Felipe returned to Spain and attended the General Military Academy of Zaragozo and then studied at the Naval Military School in Marín.

He completed his training with a stay at the General Air Academy in San Javier.

He completed his military training in 1987 at the age of 18 with a stay on the ship Juan Sebastián Elcano and then studied law at the Autonomous University of Madrid.

• Death toll rises to 154, 149 injured
• The government promises a thorough investigation
• Local residents and officials express their condolences at memorial sites
• The disaster is the worst in South Korea since the Sewol ferry sank in 2014

SEOUL, Oct 31 (Portal) – South Korean investigators on Monday combed through footage from more than 50 government and private security cameras and social media looking for answers on how a wave of Halloween partygoers were trapped in narrow alleys are, was killed so many.

As the country entered a week of mourning, the death toll rose to 154. Another 149 people were injured, 33 of them in serious condition. At least 26 citizens from 14 countries were among the dead.

South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has called for a thorough investigation, and authorities said they are focused on reconstructing the history of the surge and whether someone may have been responsible for initiating the crowding.

“We are analyzing the surveillance video to find out the exact cause of the accident,” senior police investigator Nam Gu-jun told reporters.

“We will continue to question other witnesses, including employees at nearby stores,” he said.

Tens of thousands of revelers – many in their teens and 20s and dressed in costumes – had gathered in narrow streets and alleys of the popular Itaewon district on Saturday for the first virtually full-blown Halloween celebrations in three years.

Chaos erupted as people poured into a particularly narrow and sloping alleyway, even though it was already full, witnesses said.

Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, who leads a task force team looking into the accident, said identification of the victims is almost complete and preparations for the funeral could move forward, and pledged support for the bereaved.

TEMPORARY ALTAR

People placed white chrysanthemums, drinks and candles on a small makeshift altar in front of an exit of Itaewon subway station on Monday.

Jung Si-hoon, a retiree, placed an old wooden cross on the altar and said nothing could be done to bring back all the young people who had died.

“These poor people, all the same age as my grandchildren… What more can we say? We should pray for them and wish them rest in peace,” he said.

On Monday afternoon, dozens of crime scene investigators and forensics officers descended on the garbage-strewn lanes, which were eerily quiet as many shops and cafes were closed.

An agent from the National Forensic Service team, dressed in white coveralls and a black mourning ribbon across his chest, operated a Leica 3D scanner, he said, “to capture the scene.”

Yoon paid his respects to the victims at a memorial altar near Seoul City Hall on Monday, a day after visiting the swarm scene and declaring Itaewon a disaster area.

He also met with Han and other officials involved with the accident, calling for a thorough investigation, support for victims and their families, and safety measures at unorganized large gatherings.

Yoon said he felt “indescribable sadness and responsibility as the president who is responsible for people’s lives and safety,” and it was so tragic that many young people in particular lost their lives, his deputy spokesman said.

“The most important thing is to thoroughly investigate the cause of the accident and to disclose the results transparently,” Yoon was quoted as saying at the meeting.

“There is a need to develop a safety management system to prevent accidents in crowds that can be applied to voluntary group events without an organizer like this.”

Schools, kindergartens and businesses across the country canceled planned Halloween events. K-pop concerts and government meetings have also been canceled.

The rush came as Itaewon was just beginning to thrive again after more than two years of COVID-19 restrictions. The disaster is the country’s deadliest since a ferry sank in 2014, which killed 304 people, mostly high school students.

Han said there have been incidents of people spreading hate speech by blaming victims, as well as incidents of spreading false information and troubling scenes of the crush being posted online. A National Police Agency official said they were investigating six related cases.

The “spectacular” actions of environmental activists who want to warn about global warming are increasing in Europe.

Members of environmental group Just Stop Oil sprayed orange paint on the facades of the Home Office, MI5 (Domestic Intelligence Service), the Bank of England and the headquarters of media group News Corp in London on Monday. “These buildings were chosen because they represent the pillars that uphold and sustain the power of the fossil fuel economy, government, security, finance and the media,” Just Stop Oil said in a statement. A total of six people were arrested, police said.

The day before, two environmental activists had also become active in Berlin. They glued to a pole supporting the skeleton of a dinosaur on display at Berlin’s Natural History Museum on Sunday to protest the federal government’s climate policy. It is the latest such action by climate activists at a museum, after famous artworks were targeted in several cities across Europe.

In Berlin, two women in orange vests taped to one of the metal posts that held the skeleton of a dinosaur more than 60 million years old. They carried a banner that read, “What if the government doesn’t have the situation under control?”

One of the women, Caris Connell, said she feared “wildfires, water shortages, famine and wars”. “Dinosaurs became extinct because they could not withstand massive climate changes. It threatens us too,” added the 34-year-old.

Another activist, Solvig Schinkoethe, said that as a mother of four, she was afraid of the consequences of climate change. “Peaceful resistance is the path we have chosen to protect our children from the deadly ignorance of governments,” said the 42-year-old.

The museum said the incident was cleared up by police action within an hour. Property damage had occurred and criminal charges had been filed, he said in a statement.

The two activists are part of the Last Generation group, which earlier this month spilled mashed potatoes on the glass protecting Claude Monet’s Les Meules canvas at the Museum Barberini in Potsdam, Germany.

Environmental activists also taped the glass protecting Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring at a museum in the Netherlands, and others threw soup at the glass protecting Vincent van Gogh’s Sunflowers at the National Gallery in London.

The facts

James sat on a low wall of a bridge over the Thames. He probably took the wrong measurements and fell backwards and hit his head. The boy fell into the water and was pulled out after 50 minutes. James was taken to the hospital, but it was too late for him and the severe brain injuries were fatal.

The two had a video call in which the friend tried to direct the 25-year-old to his taxi, but during the call she saw him slip. “He was in the water for 50 minutes, then they found him and took him to the hospital where they tried to revive him for three hours. But later at the autopsy it was found that he had died from head injuries sustained in the fall before he went into the water but they didn’t realize it,” the victim’s sister said.
