Madrid-Backed Woody Allen Film Includes City-Name Clause and Festival Premiere

Woody Allen’s next film, set in Madrid and produced by Wanda Vision, Gravier Productions, and 3SIX9 Studios, will receive about €3 million in public funding from the Madrid Regional Government and Madrid City Council, with an estimated €4 million more to be raised from tax credits, ICAA, and a TV prebuy; the roughly $11.4 million budget requires the title to include the word 'Madrid' and a festival premiere, with at least 15% exterior filming in the city and most of the investment spent there to support jobs and screen tourism as Madrid seeks to boost its profile through Allen’s movie.

Wildfires near Madrid force evacuation, NASA’s Deep Space Network shifts to Goldstone

A fast-moving wildfire near Madrid forced the evacuation of NASA’s Madrid Deep Space Communications Complex and temporarily paused Deep Space Network operations. NASA transitioned mission support to the Goldstone Complex in California to maintain communications, while ESA’s nearby Cebreros station was evacuated as a precaution. With Madrid offline and California’s 70-meter antenna out of service since a previous incident, DSN coverage is reduced to Australia’s 70-meter antenna, leaving limited global uptime. NASA says safety comes first and will assess any damage before resuming work; Artemis missions are still planned, with Artemis III in low-Earth orbit and Artemis IV no earlier than 2028.

Spain’s PM’s wife ordered to stand trial for corruption

A Spanish judge ordered Begoña Gómez, wife of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, to stand trial on corruption charges, ban her from leaving Spain, surrender her passport and report to court twice a month; the allegations relate to her work at Madrid’s Complutense University and are for influence peddling and embezzlement. Gómez denies wrongdoing, while Sánchez says the move is political persecution and judicial overreach; several Sánchez associates are also under investigation, and no trial date has been set.
