Power Outage Sweeps Across Spain, Portugal, France, and Belgium

On April 28 a massive blackout hit four Western European countries. Spain, Portugal, France and Belgium lost electricity for hours as a technical fault rippled through the grid. Airports shut down, trains stopped, and hospitals ran on backup generators. Millions were left in the dark, and officials quickly ruled out any cyber‑attack. Power crews worked around the clock, and some regions saw lights back on by the next day while others kept coping with limited supply.

Sports, Faith Activism and Other Headlines

While Europe was wrestling with the lights, faith leaders in the U.S. used the Easter season to push for stronger protection of civilians in Gaza. A top Christian council met in Washington and urged the government to take more decisive action. The message was clear: faith should drive real‑world help, not just prayers.

On the sports side, the NBA playoffs gave fans a thrilling start. The Los Angeles Lakers faced the Minnesota Timberwolves in a best‑of‑seven series that had everyone on the edge of their seat. LeBron James and Luka Dončić turned the court into a showcase of skill and toughness. Odds favored the Lakers, but a few key injuries could tip the balance at any moment.

In European football, Napoli pulled off a convincing 3‑0 win over Empoli. Scott McTominay scored twice, showing he can be a game‑changer in Serie A. Romelu Lukaku also found the net, keeping pressure on league leaders Inter Milan. Empoli’s winless streak stretched to 17 games, confirming their struggle at the bottom of the table.

The Champions League quarter‑final between Arsenal and Real Madrid turned into a tactical showdown. Arsenal leaned on home‑field advantage and a youthful squad, hoping to break Madrid’s long history of knockout success. Injuries troubled both sides, but the clash promised star‑studded moments that could swing either way.

All these stories reflect a month where electricity, faith, and sport each lit up the headlines in their own way.
