Rotos de dolor, con un nudo en la garganta y sin poder creer que esto sea verdad, desde el CD Tenerife comunicamos el trágico fallecimiento, este martes, día 3 de noviembre de 2026, a las 8:00 horas, de Jesús de Miguel Alameda. No hay palabras de consuelo; no hay absolutamente nada que mitigue este sentimiento repleto de tristeza. Estamos junto a su desolada familia, junto a sus seres queridos, junto a todo el tinerfeñismo que hoy llora por este cruel desenlace. La familia de Jesús de Miguel agradece todas y cada una de las muestras de apoyo recibidas, e igualmente solicita, de corazón, máximo respeto a su privacidad, en estos terribles momentos. 🖤 DEP

Nigerian families cling on to mementos as disappeared kin remain missing As the world marks the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, families in Maiduguri, Nigeria, continue to live with the pain and uncertainty of loved ones who have gone missing. Mementos such as photographs, pieces of clothing and other treasured personal items have become lasting connections to their kin, whom they have not seen for years. Through these objects and the memories attached to them, the families share stories of love, loss and hope as they continue to search for their missing loved ones. #ThroughTheLens

As the world marks the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, many Nigerians continue to live with the anguish of losing loved ones to terror groups, never knowing whether they will see them again. Kashim Mohammed is one of them. More than a decade ago, his sister disappeared. But the search has changed him and taught him how to support other families living with the same uncertainty. Through mental health and psychosocial support from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), he has found ways to cope while standing with families of the missing.

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old. Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000). A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact. At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at dollyparton.com In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at imaginationlibrary.com

A very frustrating season, and without a doubt we are all very disappointed. You fans definitely did not deserve this. But football doesn’t always go the way we plan. Individually, I managed to have the season with the most goal contributions in my career, and I would trade all of that for a better position in the table. Honestly, I just want to thank the fans for everything. Thank you @nufc 3️⃣9️⃣🖤🤍
