Western outlets treat it first as a spectacular feat; Beijing turns it into an industrial argument, highlighting an already commercialised sector. Several newsrooms report conflicting times and the absence of independent certification.

The 12 August Total Eclipse Puts Spain in the Shadow — and Under the Strain of 446,000 Visitors
On Wednesday the path of totality crosses Greenland, Iceland and northern Spain, where no total eclipse has been seen since 1905. Madrid expects 446,000 extra visitors; small towns fear wildfires and Ibiza fears saturation. France will top out at 99% obscuration, Algeria at 98.6%. Elsewhere the same event becomes a timetable, an eye-safety warning or a horoscope.

Spain imposes its own border checks on Italy, which refuses to back down
Madrid gave Rome until 9 August to lift the checks imposed on 1 August, then acted: controls on travellers from Italy until 7 September. Italy extended its own. Behind the quarrel lie at least 141 dead at Ceuta, 1,342 unaccompanied minors, and an investigation into Russia-linked accounts. Twenty-two countries order these three threads differently.
