The program includes a review of this week's Spanish press. The front pages have focussed on such issues as the protests in Catalonia, Spain's rising unemployment rate, and the pandemic-related restrictions under consideration for the coming Holy Week holidays. In international news, Spain's newspapers report on the protests in Myanmar, former French president Sarkozy's corruption trial, and the reappearance of former U.S. president Trump. We also take a look at current events, such as preparations for--and controversy over--upcoming demonstrations to mark International Women's Day. The broadcast ends with the music of Schumann performed by Italian pianist Beatrice Rana, who has just been in Madird to give a concert at the Chamber Music Hall of the National Auditorium. There she and French violinist Renaud Capuçon performed works by Schumann and Prokofiev.
