Spain is dealing with multiple train incidents. A train accident occurred in Córdoba, and a separate collision happened on the Rodalies commuter network in Barcelona. In response, the railway infrastructure manager Adif has been adjusting speed limits on several high-speed lines, including between Madrid and Barcelona, and Madrid and Valencia. Separately, five public universities in Barcelona and Madrid have been ranked among the world's top 100. Meanwhile, the Madrid regional government, led by Isabel Díaz Ayuso, is facing a legal complaint from universities over a new private academic center. The Madrid Bar Association is opening the center, and the Madrid Medical Association's board is under investigation for alleged misconduct.
