For the past few weeks, TV3's weather forecast has included the city of Alghero, on the island of Sardinia, now part of Italy, which was once under the rule of the Crown of Aragon. 22.4% of the population speaks Catalan, a remnant of our ancestors' presence: this must be the reason why Catalan television is reporting the weather in that location. The initiative is commendable, as it informs viewers about the expansion of Catalans in the Mediterranean, something that, broadly speaking, occurred from the birth of James I (1225) and the reign of Peter the Ceremonious until the reincorporation of the Kingdom of Majorca into the Crown on December 13.

Carles Puigdemont is now out of Bancari prison. After spending the night there and appearing before the judge from the penitentiary centre telematically, the Court of Appeal of Sassari has decided to release the former president, arrested on Thursday at Algher airport. Although his defence has requested a 24-hour postponement of the hearing, Puigdemont has been released without charge. In this way, the leader of Junts has left prison without paying any bail and, according to the head of the former president's office, Josep Lluís Alay, he will have "total freedom of movement" and, therefore, will be able to leave Italy. The magistrate has summoned Puigdemont to testify again on 4 October and then the question of extradition will be discussed.
