China has surpassed Germany as Spain's top supplier, while the arrival of football's major leagues and the economic value of their top players is also on the agenda. In Ceuta, work continues to accommodate migrants who have remained in the autonomous city after a massive influx three weeks ago.

The newspaper also delves into the future of golf as a business.",
