A young tourist has been trapped abroad in hospital after she was 'swept out to sea' by a 'freak' wave. Charline Edwards was left in "excruciating" pain after she was hit by the wave as she relaxed in the water on the Cape Verde Coast.
She is currently recovering from a nerve injury to her spine. Initially, she could not feel her arms or hands. Her boyfriend, Callum Aston, said it took three hours for her to reach a hospital and the full extent of her injuries would not be known until she was examined in the UK.

"We were less than waist-deep in the water, Charline was lying on her back floating in the water relaxing. Suddenly a very big wave landed on top of her. When I eventually stood up myself from the wave, she was nowhere to be seen. She was about 20 yards down into the water, where it had dragged her back out to sea, when I managed to find her."

He said: "Eventually when I got her to the beach, an elderly couple who had spotted us in the distance tried to help me carry her. Eventually, after about five minutes, the lifeguards came over but at that time, she couldn't move anything from her neck down. But the lifeguards were

Manuel Betancourt The toxicity of patriarchal masculinity has become such a well-worn trope in pop culture (and especially in recent Colombian cinema) that it’s hard to remember its effects continue unabated in streets and households all over the world, and in that Latin American country specifically. And so, while Fabián Hernández’s central concerns in his simply-titled film, “A Man” (“Un Varón”), are all too familiar, his tale of a young man living in a shelter in the center of Bogotá who cannot escape the violence of the world of the streets around him, emerges nonetheless as a powerful portrait of the country’s inescapable machismo.
