The effects of more than a decade of government mismanagement and economic sanctions are clear at Dr. José Manuel de Los Ríos Children’s Hospital in Caracas, where Dr. Huníades Urbina-Medina can treat only four children at a time in the intensive care unit.\n\n\n“We (once) could receive up to 10 patients” in the ICU, Urbina-Medina said. “But since at least 10 years ago, we don’t have enough personnel, we don’t have enough medicines, we don’t have enough mechanical ventilators.”\n\n\nOne of the four patients receiving treatment is a 12-year-old girl who was crushed under several floors of a collapsed building. She is in agony, with numerous life-threatening injuries.\n\n\nRoughly 100 children have been treated elsewhere in the hospital since last week, a fraction of those injured in the earthquakes. The Venezuelan government has updated the casualty toll from the earthquakes only incrementally. Currently it stands at more than 1,700 dead and over 5,000 injured.\n\n\nBut the US Geological Survey has said there is a high chance that the magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes have killed tens of thousands of people. We may never learn the true count; when a similar tragedy struck the state of La Guaira in 1999, the government never released an official death toll.\n\n\nThe government has extended school closures, and preliminary information suggests that 432 schools in Caracas alone have been damaged. Undamaged schools are among the buildings being used as temporary shelters for the thousands of displaced people.\n\n\nUrbina-Medina told CNN that no hospital in Venezuela was ready for an emergency as huge as the double earthquakes last week.\n\n\n“No hospital in Venezuela is prepared for the day-by-day,” Urbana-Medina said. “But with this catastrophe, it’s worse because we don’t have enough medicines, personnel, equipment here in Venezuela.”\n\n\nBefore the earthquakes, the government generally defended its national health system as robust, blaming shortcomings on sanctions imposed by the United States.\n\n\nOther doctors who spoke with CNN had similar complaints. Many hospitals are damaged, said Dr. Andrés Cortiz, a volunteer with Healing Venezuela, a British charity that provides free medical care in the country. Cortiz said eight hospitals in Caracas have been forced to close, and the remaining hospitals are overwhelmed with patients and lack basic cleaning supplies such as bleach and disinfectant.\n\n\nOther problems predate the earthquake. As Venezuela has sunk further into crisis over the past decade due to mismanagement by the socialist government and punishing US economic sanctions, Urbana-Medina has seen many qualified medical staff leave the country in search of better opportunities abroad. The same brain-drain has affected Venezuelan schools, which suffered serious teacher shortages before the earthquake.\n\n\nOther medical personnel have been forced to leave more recently. Soon after then-President Nicolás Maduro was captured by the US in January, Venezuela ended Cuba’s long-standing medical mission in the country, cutting off a key resource in underserved communities.\n\n\nHolding onto hope\n\n\n\nIt took 24 hours after the two earthquakes for the smell of death to seep from the ruins in Caracas. The stench of decay now hangs around collapsed buildings throughout the city. It is overpowering but does not deter the families of those still trapped under the rubble. Many have camped out along the edge of the piles of crushed concrete and rebar, awaiting any word of their relatives.\n\n\nMirella Herrera is among them. She has waited every day outside her son’s destroyed apartment building, looking for any sign of him, his wife and their children.\n\n\n“It’s maddening,” she said, weeping. “In the same way that I feel desperate and anguished, I walk, I stay hydrated, and I wonder how must they be. If they’re still alive, they must be desperate to get out of there.”\n\n\nA white board near the scene has a schematic of the building and its eight stories. Family names are written on each floor. It also tallies the dead, the rescued and the missing. Twelve people in the building have died so far; three have been rescued, and 20 remain within the ruins. In the past two days, not one has been found.\n\n\nGenerally, after a disaster like this, the three days afterward are the “golden” window for finding survivors. Human beings can usually survive for only three days without water. Five days after the earthquakes, Herrera said she is still holding onto hope.\n\n\n“I feel that my son is strong,” she said. “I feel that he’s waiting for me, that he knows that I’m here watching him. For that reason, I don’t want to give up.”\n\n\nWaiting for the green light\n\n\n\nEarly Monday morning, Venezuela awoke to another earthquake. It was small, an aftershock registering a magnitude of 4.9, but it was significant enough to send people out of their homes and temporary shelters and into the streets in their pajamas.\n\n\nThe government was quick to say that the aftershock caused no damage, but it was little comfort. Even those whose homes weren’t destroyed last week are unable to return. Cracks snake up the sides of many buildings left standing. Also on the sides of many buildings are posters of former presidents Maduro and Hugo Chávez, a reminder of who built some of the poorly constructed housing that collapsed.\n\n\nSoledad Campos Aparicio, 78, held her dog tight as she waited outside her apartment building in Caracas on Monday. The building next to hers, an apartment complex called The Petunia, had collapsed in the earthquakes, and now authorities were not letting her or her neighbors go home.

Green means habitable, yellow means moderately damaged, and red signifies that the building is unsafe.\n\n\n“We go in and out, but they won’t let us stay,” Campos Aparicio told CNN. She wants to go back to her apartment badly. “I fell, I fainted, and I injured my knees. I’ve been unwell, but I’m on my own.”\n\n\nIsa Soares, Madalena Araujo and Mary Triny Mena reported from Caracas. \n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

She said he “preyed on those seeking to bring Democracy to China,” taking their money so he could live lavishly.\n\n\nBefore he was sentenced, Guo protested his treatment in jail, saying he was taken to the hospital early Monday. He disputed a prosecutor’s portrayal of him as a malinger faking illness, saying he repeatedly vomited as he was returned to jail before being brought to court.\n\n\n“When I came here, I said: ‘I have a tummy ache, I need to go to the bathroom, I don’t feel well,’” Guo said through an interpreter of his courthouse arrival. Later, Guo wiped his mouth repeatedly with a tissue.\n\n\nHe only briefly addressed the criminal case, defending his intentions by saying in reference to the Chinese Communist Party: “The reason I came to the US was to destroy the CCP.”\n\n\nThe judge, in sentencing him, read snippets of letters she received from victims who described losing their life savings and feeling severely anxious and shamed and having family members turn on them for their poor investment choice.\n\n\nTorres said Guo “takes no responsibility for his actions and instead insists incredibly his conduct caused no loss and harmed no one.” She said he “has called upon supporters to harass and intimidate those who dare to speak out against him.”\n\n\nThe judge ordered Guo to forfeit $889 million in restitution.\n\n\nWei Chen, a victim who testified at trial, told Torres that Guo’s fraud “destroyed my life” and that of her family.\n\n\nAs Guo left the courtroom after the sentencing, supporters applauded and shouted toward him.\n\n\n“Astonishing” fraud\n\n\n\nBefore his arrest and detention without bail three years ago, Guo grew so close to conservative political strategist Steve Bannon that they announced a joint initiative to overthrow the Chinese government in 2020. He lived in a luxury apartment overlooking Central Park and had joined President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Florida golf club.\n\n\nProsecutors had requested he serve at least 30 years in prison, saying his “astonishing” fraud from 2018 to 2023 “destroyed hundreds of lives” and left “a wreckage of victims and families who have been devastated financially, emotionally, and psychologically.”\n\n\nProsecutors said in court papers that his ill-gotten riches fueled “a lifestyle of extraordinary excess and indulgence, a gilded life of mansions, yachts, race cars, designer clothes and luxury furnishings.”\n\n\nGuo was convicted of nine of 12 criminal charges during a seven-week trial that prosecutors said showcased his deception of thousands of investors in bogus deals that enabled Guo’s lavish lifestyle.\n\n\nIn a court filing, Guo’s lawyers wrote that he was the victim of the Chinese Communist Party’s “grand, pervasive, and life threatening” pursuit of him. They alleged that the party recruited elites in US business, entertainment and politics to conspire against him.\n\n\nThey said in presentence court papers that a lengthy prison term would only validate China’s smear campaign and “embolden further efforts to eliminate Chinese dissidents from public life” while defendants in similar cases received prison terms of two-to-four years.\n\n\nThe lawyers noted that a court probation officer wrote to the sentencing judge that Guo, also known as Miles Guo and Ho Wan Kwok, had scars and disfigurements from physical torture he endured in China and subsequent surgeries he underwent from 1993 to 2022 to repair the injuries.\n\n\nDefense lawyers said Guo’s wealth grew as his family became the largest shareholder of China’s largest publicly traded securities company, but he became a target of Chinese government officials as he exposed them as corrupt. Eventually, the lawyers wrote, Guo moved to Hong Kong, London and then New York in 2017.\n\n\nChinese authorities accused him of rape, kidnapping, bribery and other crimes, but Guo said those allegations were false.\n\n\nProsecutors say Guo convinced hundreds of thousands of people to invest more than $1 billion, total, in entities he controlled, including his media company, GTV Media Group Inc., and his so-called Himalaya Farm Alliance and the Himalaya Exchange.\n\n\nGuo, the government alleged in presentence court papers, was “entirely unrepentant” for his crimes after he took advantage of lax US asylum laws to flourish in America.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

(La policía había identificado anteriormente a una víctima como una mujer de 26 años).\n\n\nLas hermanas, que criaban al niño juntas, eran amables y trabajadoras, dijo su hermano, Demarco Bailey, a WAPT, afiliada de CNN.\n\n\n“Solo necesito justicia”, dijo Bailey. “No solo por mis hermanas, sino por mi sobrino. Solo tiene dos años y medio. Vamos, ¿un niño de dos años?”\n\n\nLas tres víctimas presentaban múltiples heridas de bala, dijo Howard a CNN, y añadió que la escena del crimen fue una de las peores que ha visto en unos 10 años trabajando como forense y forense adjunto.\n\n\n“Cada socorrista, desde el departamento de bomberos hasta cada agente de policía allí, se vio visiblemente afectado por lo atroz y violento que fue este crimen”, dijo Howard.\n\n\nHasta la tarde del lunes, las autoridades parecen no saber quién mató a las víctimas. CNN se ha comunicado con el Departamento de Policía de Jackson para obtener información adicional.\n\n\n“Los detectives continúan buscando pistas sobre la identificación y la ubicación de los sospechosos”, dijo la policía en un comunicado de prensa el domingo.\n\n\nEl sábado, los funcionarios encontraron lo que el jefe de policía de Jackson, RaShall Brackney, calificó como una escena “horripilante” tras una llamada al 911 que reportó una agresión agravada en una vivienda de un vecindario residencial a menos de 16 kilómetros  al noroeste del centro de Jackson.\n\n\n“Este es un crimen atroz”, dijo Brackney en una conferencia de prensa el domingo por la mañana, calificando a la persona responsable como “un cobarde absoluto” y “el más vil de los seres humanos”.\n\n\nLa pista más reciente en el caso es un Mitsubishi Mirage rojo de 2020 perteneciente a una de las víctimas, que la policía dijo que fue tomado de la escena durante el crimen. La policía encontró el vehículo abandonado el domingo por la noche en el norte de Jackson. Los investigadores están procesando el vehículo en busca de evidencia, según una publicación de la policía en Facebook.\n\n\nEn los días previos al tiroteo, la ciudad de Jackson ha visto un aumento de la “violencia relacionada con armas, tiroteos y la pérdida insensata de vidas”, dijo el alcalde John Horhn en un comunicado el domingo.\n\n\nEl alcalde dijo que trabaja para desplegar “recursos adicionales” para la comunidad junto con la policía y el equipo de seguridad pública de la ciudad.\n\n\n“En los próximos días, presentaremos un plan que reúna a las fuerzas del orden, líderes comunitarios, expertos en prevención de la violencia, profesionales de la salud mental, nuestra comunidad de fe y líderes de las comunidades más afectadas por estos crímenes”, añadió.\n\n\nLos crímenes son los homicidios 39, 40 y 41 de la ciudad en lo que va del año, según el Departamento de Policía de Jackson.\n\n\nDatos de las autoridades recopilados por WLBT, afiliada de CNN, muestran que 38 de esos 41 homicidios reportados por la policía de Jackson en 2026 fueron resultado de un tiroteo.\n\n\nSi tiene información que pueda ayudar a los investigadores, puede comunicarse con el JPD al 601-960-1800 o al 601-356-TIPS (8477).\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

El tribunal se dividió 6-3, con tres de los conservadores del tribunal en disenso.\n\n\n“La Cuarta Enmienda debe, como siempre, proteger contra la intrusión gubernamental injustificada en la privacidad del individuo”, escribió Kagan.\n\n\nEn un momento en que los estadounidenses almacenan enormes cantidades de datos personales en servidores controlados por empresas, el caso planteó preguntas espinosas sobre la capacidad de la policía para acceder a esa información. Al final, el tribunal se apartó del caso con una decisión relativamente limitada que, en la práctica, exigirá que la policía obtenga una orden judicial cuando solicite información de ubicación de una base de datos de geolocalización.\n\n\nUn residente de Virginia, Okello Chatrie, apeló ante la Corte Suprema después de que la policía utilizara el procedimiento para identificarlo como sospechoso de un robo bancario en 2019. Después de que su investigación se estancara, la policía entregó a Google una orden de geovalla para encontrar a un puñado de personas cuyos teléfonos celulares los ubicaran dentro de 300 metros del banco en el momento del robo. Chatrie presentó una declaración de culpabilidad condicional y se reservó el derecho de apelar por la orden de amplio alcance.\n\n\nLa Corte Suprema no resolvió el lunes el caso de Chatrie. Después de todo, la policía en el caso de Chatrie sí obtuvo, de hecho, una orden judicial. En cambio, la mayoría concluyó únicamente que era necesaria una orden judicial y luego encargó a los tribunales inferiores evaluar si el registro que la policía realizó en su caso fue consistente con la Cuarta Enmienda.\n\n\nEn un voto disidente, el juez Samuel Alito describió la opinión del tribunal como una “escapada irresponsable”.\n\n\n“Aunque la decisión de hoy enviará ondas sísmicas a través de nuestra doctrina de la Cuarta Enmienda, ni un ápice de la opinión de la mayoría afectará el resultado de este caso”, escribió Alito. “El tribunal lo sabe y no afirma lo contrario. De hecho, al negarse a revisar la única cuestión que podría haberle dado al menos teóricamente a Chatrie alguna esperanza de reparación, el tribunal preparó cuidadosamente el escenario para su actuación planificada: adoptar una pose como gran campeón de la privacidad en la era digital”.\n\n\nLa Cuarta Enmienda no solo exige que la policía obtenga una orden judicial para los registros, sino que demanda que la orden sea “particularizada”, es decir, lo suficientemente específica como para que no sea, en la práctica, una expedición de pesca para la policía. Los abogados de Chatrie argumentaron que la orden no estaba particularizada en parte porque exigía que Google analizara datos de ubicación de millones de personas para identificar el pequeño subconjunto que se encontraba en las inmediaciones del banco en el momento del delito.\n\n\n“El potencial de abuso es impresionante”, argumentaron los abogados de Chatrie. “Al Gobierno solo le basta trazar una geovalla alrededor de una iglesia, un mitin político o una tienda de armas, y puede obligar a registrar los expedientes de cada usuario para saber quién estuvo allí”.\n\n\nLa policía dijo que Chatrie pasó una nota instando a un cajero bancario en 2019 a “entregar todo el dinero” y exigía “al menos US$ 100.000 y nadie saldrá herido y tu familia será liberada”.\n\n\nDespués de que la policía identificara a Chatrie, las autoridades ejecutaron órdenes federales de registro y encontraron “notas de exigencia estilo robo” en su dormitorio, casi US$ 100.000 en efectivo y una pistola de 9 mm. La policía dice que Chatrie confesó el robo y finalmente fue condenado a más de 11 años de prisión.\n\n\nEl Tribunal de Apelaciones del 4.º Circuito de EE.UU., con sede en Richmond, falló en su contra, al sostener que la orden no constituía un “registro” a efectos de la Cuarta Enmienda. Después de todo, razonó el tribunal, cuando las personas permiten que las empresas tecnológicas recopilen datos, por lo general lo hacen de manera voluntaria. Es un argumento en el que el Departamento de Justicia, que está defendiendo las órdenes, se apoyó en gran medida.\n\n\nChatrie “no tomó ninguna medida para proteger su ubicación de la divulgación, como pausar la función de Historial de Ubicaciones que había habilitado o ajustar, desactivar o prescindir de su teléfono celular durante su delito”, dijo al Tribunal Supremo el procurador general de EE.UU., D. John Sauer.\n\n\nLos datos de ubicación en cuestión en el caso de Chatrie pueden identificar la ubicación de una persona dentro de tres metros cada dos minutos.\n\n\nPero los abogados de Chatrie sostienen que esa lógica no se aplica a su caso, en parte debido a un precedente del Tribunal Supremo de 2018. En ese caso, Carpenter contra EE.UU., un tribunal dividido dictaminó que, por lo general, las autoridades deben establecer causa probable antes de acceder a los datos de torres de telefonía celular para identificar los movimientos de los sospechosos. Si las autoridades necesitan una orden para obtener datos de torres de telefonía celular, dijeron los abogados de Chatrie, entonces seguramente también deben obtener una para conseguir datos que son mucho más fiables.\n\n\nGoogle, que había recibido la mayoría de las órdenes, cambió su política para modificar cómo se almacenan los datos.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Dos ocurrieron con 24 horas de diferencia, según la afiliada de CNN WESH.\n\n\nLa víctima del ataque más reciente se había detenido a nadar con su novio y un amigo en el río Econlockhatchee, justo al norte de Orlando, la tarde del domingo, cuando el caimán la mordió, dijo la FWC en una rueda de prensa.\n\n\nSu novio intentó sacarla de la boca del caimán, dijeron las autoridades.\n\n\nLa persona que llamó al 911 describió las heridas de la mujer como “horribles”. Sufrió mordeduras en ambos brazos y más tarde murió tras ser trasladada a un hospital.\n\n\nFuncionarios de la FWC capturaron un caimán de 13 pies (casi 4 metros) en el lugar y otro de 12 pies (3,6 metros) cerca, diciendo que cualquiera de los dos podría haber sido responsable del ataque.\n\n\n“He visto caimanes realmente grandes aquí. Sin embargo, nunca había oído hablar de un ataque”, dijo a WESH Leia Vieira, una excursionista.\n\n\nVeinticuatro horas antes, un niño, que estaba pescando con su padre, fue mordido en la mano en el campamento de pesca Nelson’s Fish Camp en el condado de Marion, informó WESH.\n\n\nUn buceador con tubo fue mordido el 21 de junio en el río Rainbow en la misma zona —a unas 100 millas (160 kilómetros) del ataque mortal del domingo en el condado de Seminole.\n\n\nLas autoridades cerraron temporalmente el río tras el primer ataque antes de que los funcionarios de vida silvestre localizaran y retiraran al caimán, según la Oficina del Sheriff del condado de Marion.\n\n\nLos funcionarios capturaron y sacrificaron al caimán de 8 pies y 7 pulgadas (poco más de 2,5 metros) que mordió al niño, según WESH.\n\n\nLa entrada al Barr Street Trailhead fue cerrada después de que una mujer de Orlando fuera atacada por un caimán en el Bosque Estatal Little Big Econ.\n\n\nAunque Florida alberga un estimado de 1,3 millones de caimanes, los ataques a personas son poco comunes.\n\n\nEl estado promedia alrededor de ocho mordeduras no provocadas cada año, según la FWC, que dirige un programa estatal para atender quejas relacionadas con caimanes específicos que se cree representan una amenaza para las personas, las mascotas o la propiedad.\n\n\nDesde 1948, Florida ha registrado más de 450 ataques de caimán, y solo 30 han resultado en muertes.\n\n\nEl año pasado, el estado registró 13 ataques de caimán, incluidos dos mortales. Ocho de los ataques causaron lesiones graves, mientras que cinco resultaron en lesiones menores.\n\n\nUn estudio de investigadores de la Universidad de Florida y Centre College en Kentucky encontró que las actividades de bajo riesgo, como caminar cerca del agua o permanecer en tierra, rara vez resultaron en ataques.\n\n\nEl mayor número de ataques mortales, encontró el estudio, ocurrió después de conductas de alto riesgo, incluida la entrada deliberada en vías fluviales conocidas por contener caimanes.\n\n\n“La conciencia situacional y las decisiones informadas, especialmente durante actividades recreativas en territorio de caimanes, pueden ayudar a proteger tanto a las personas como a la vida silvestre”, dijo el Dr. Frank Mazzotti, profesor de ecología de vida silvestre en la Universidad de Florida y uno de los autores del estudio, cuando se publicaron los hallazgos el año pasado.\n\n\n“Muchas mordeduras”, dijo Mazzotti, “pueden prevenirse si los humanos son conscientes de su entorno y minimizan los comportamientos arriesgados”.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Two came with 24 hours of each other, according to CNN affiliate WESH.\n\n\nThe victim in the latest attack had stopped to swim with her boyfriend and friend in the Econlockhatchee River just north of Orlando Sunday afternoon when the alligator bit her, the FWC said in a press briefing.\n\n\nHer boyfriend tried to get her out of the alligator’s mouth, officials said.\n\n\nThe 911 caller described the woman’s injuries as “horrible.” She suffered bites to both arms and later died after being transported to a hospital.\n\n\nOfficials with the FWC captured a 13-foot alligator at the scene and a 12-footer nearby, saying either could have been responsible for the attack.\n\n\n“I’ve seen really big gators in here. I’ve never heard of an attack, though,” Leia Vieira, a hiker, told WESH.\n\n\nTwenty-four hours earlier, a boy, who was fishing with his father, was bitten on the hand at Nelson’s Fish Camp in Marion County, WESH reported.\n\n\nA snorkeler was bitten on June 21 at Rainbow River in the same area — about 100 miles away from Sunday’s fatal attack in Seminole County.\n\n\nAuthorities temporarily closed the river following the first attack before wildlife officials located and removed the alligator, according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.\n\n\nOfficials captured and euthanized the 8-foot-7-inch gator that bit the young boy, according to WESH.\n\n\nHow common are alligator bites?\n\n\n\nThough Florida is home to an estimated 1.3 million gators, attacks on people are uncommon.\n\n\nThe state averages about eight unprovoked bites each year, according to the FWC, which runs a statewide program to address complaints concerning specific alligators believed to pose a threat to people, pets or property.\n\n\nSince 1948, Florida has recorded more than 450 alligator attacks, with only 30 resulting in fatalities.\n\n\nLast year, the state recorded 13 alligator attacks, including two fatalities. Eight of the attacks caused major injuries, while five resulted in minor injuries.\n\n\nA study by researchers at the University of Florida and Centre College in Kentucky found that low-risk activities, such as walking near the water or remaining on land, rarely resulted in attacks.\n\n\nThe highest number of fatal attacks, the study found, occurred after high-risk behaviors, including deliberately entering waterways known to contain alligators.\n\n\n“Situational awareness and informed choices, especially during recreational activities in alligator country, can help protect both people and wildlife,” Dr. Frank Mazzotti, a professor of wildlife ecology at the University of Floridaand one of the study’s authors, said when the findings were published last year.\n\n\n“Many bites,” Mazzotti said, “can be prevented if humans are aware of their surroundings and minimize risky behaviors.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Kennedy, dijo la Administración Federal de Aviación.\n\n\nEl piloto a bordo del vuelo 948 de JetBlue informó del impacto a aproximadamente 3.000 pies (914 metros) de altitud mientras estaba en aproximación final a la pista alrededor de las 7:15 a.m., hora local, el lunes, dijo la FAA a CNN en un comunicado.\n\n\n“Estamos autorizados a aterrizar, 13 izquierda”, le dijo el piloto a la torre según se escucha en un audio grabado por ATC.com. “Solo rápidamente, no pude comunicarme con aproximación, pero colisionamos con un dron allá atrás en el viraje”.\n\n\n“¿Dijo que colisionaron?”, preguntó el controlador.\n\n\nEl piloto confirmó: “Sí, nos golpeó justo, justo encima de la cabina”.\n\n\nEl Airbus A321 llegaba desde Las Vegas y aterrizó de forma segura minutos después, a las 7:21 a. m.\n\n\nLa aeronave se encontraba justo al norte de la comunidad costera de Sea Bright, a aproximadamente a unos 20 kilómetros de JFK, en el momento del presunto impacto, según datos de Flightradar24.\n\n\nEn un comunicado, JetBlue confirmó que el vuelo aterrizó sin más incidentes.\n\n\n“Los clientes desembarcaron con normalidad y el avión fue retirado del servicio para una inspección posterior al vuelo, la cual no encontró daños ni evidencia de una colisión”, dijo la aerolínea. “La seguridad es la primera prioridad de JetBlue, y colaboraremos con cualquier investigación pertinente”.\n\n\nLa FAA está investigando el incidente.\n\n\nSi se confirma, podría ser una de las primeras colisiones conocidas entre un dron y un avión comercial de pasajeros de Estados Unidos.\n\n\nSin embargo, los drones sí han golpeado otras aeronaves. En enero de 2025, un dron civil impactó a un CL-415 “Super Scooper” que combatía los incendios forestales de Los Ángeles, perforando un agujero en el ala, obligando a la aeronave a quedar fuera de servicio y llevando a las autoridades federales a procesar al operador del dron.\n\n\nOtros impactos sospechados han resultado ser daños por aves o problemas mecánicos.\n\n\nLos drones tienen prohibido volar alrededor de los aeropuertos; sin embargo, la FAA recibe alrededor de 100 reportes de avistamientos al mes.\n\n\nLa semana pasada, un piloto de United Airlines informó que estuvo a punto de colisionar con uno cuando su avión se disponía a aterrizar en el Aeropuerto Internacional Newark Liberty.\n\n\nLos vuelos de drones también suelen estar limitados alrededor de operaciones de respuesta a emergencias, cárceles, incendios forestales y grandes concentraciones, incluidos los actuales partidos de la Copa del Mundo.\n\n\nLos operadores no autorizados están sujetos a fuertes multas y cargos penales, incluida una posible pena de cárcel, dijo la FAA.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The association named Richard Dayoub as its new president for 2026.\n\n\n\n\"Richard Dayoub continues the legacy of great Sun Bowl Presidents,\" said Sun Bowl Association Executive Director Bernie Olivas. “We look forward to another tremendous year with Richard at the helm. He brings vast experience in business and community relations.\"\n\n\n\nOutside of working with the SBA, Dayoub is the longtime host of El Paso Primetime, KTEP Public Radio's weekly public affairs program. On the show, he talks about economic development and quality of life issued in the Borderplex region, the SBA said. \n\n\n\nThe SBA said Dayoub is an Air Force veteran who served two tours in Vietnam from 1968-1970. \n\n\n\nHe said he's excited and feels \"very blessed and privileged\" to step up as president.\n\n\n\nAt the El Paso Zoo, the SBA thanked its volunteers for helping with the association's events -- including the annual Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl game. Volunteers help with other traditional events like the SBA's Thanksgiving parade.\n\n\n\n“It is because of the volunteers that the Sun Bowl is recognized nationally and is one of the best in the bowl business,” Olivas said. “They are truly the lifeblood of the Sun Bowl Association.”\n\n\n\n\nThe post Sun Bowl Association names new president, thanks volunteers appeared first on KVIA.","url":"https://kvia.com/sports/2026/06/29/sun-bowl-association-names-new-president-thanks-volunteers/","source":"KVIA ABC-7","author":"Gabrielle Lopez","publishDate":"2026-06-30T00:32:50.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkvia.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2Fsba-volunteer.png","slug":"sun-bowl-association-names-new-president-thanks-volunteers"},{"id":"dpfvdd","title":"How to see June's Strawberry Moon","excerpt":"The moon reaches peak illumination at 7:56 p.m. ET.","content":"The moon reaches peak illumination at 7:56 p.m. ET.","url":"https://www.ktsm.com/news/national-news/how-to-see-junes-strawberry-moon/","source":"KTSM 9 News (NBC)","author":"Josie Fischels","publishDate":"2026-06-30T00:23:59.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ktsm.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F38%2F2026%2F06%2FGettyImages-1430725707.jpg%3Fw%3D705","slug":"how-to-see-junes-strawberry-moon"},{"id":"lvj4on","title":"FDA expands cheese recall over possible listeria contamination","excerpt":"Consumers are advised not to eat, sell or serve the recalled products and to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.","content":"Consumers are advised not to eat, sell or serve the recalled products and to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.","url":"https://www.ktsm.com/news/fda-expands-cheese-recall-over-possible-listeria-contamination/","source":"KTSM 9 News (NBC)","author":"Alicia Sitz","publishDate":"2026-06-30T00:22:22.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ktsm.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F38%2F2026%2F06%2FGettyImages-2068479506-1-e1765575228756.jpg%3Fw%3D800","slug":"fda-expands-cheese-recall-over-possible-listeria-contamination"},{"id":"r696gl","title":"UTEP officially enters the Mountain West Conference July 1st","excerpt":"EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- UTEP officially enters a new era as a full-time member of the Mountain West Conference on July 1st. \n\n\n\nThe move places the Miners in one of the nation's premier mid-major leagues, bringing increased competition, regional rivalries, and greater national exposure as the un...","content":"EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- UTEP officially enters a new era as a full-time member of the Mountain West Conference on July 1st. \n\n\n\nThe move places the Miners in one of the nation's premier mid-major leagues, bringing increased competition, regional rivalries, and greater national exposure as the university looks to elevate its athletic programs. \n\n\n\nThe transition brings increased competition across multiple sports, particularly in men's and women's basketball, where the Mountain West has consistently been among the top conferences outside the Power Four.

United States, that had allowed Congress to restrict the president’s authority to fire agency heads to ensure their independence. From his seat at the center of the elevated bench, the chief justice observed that the court had been steadily backing away from the 1935 precedent, which he insisted conflicted with constitutional history and structure.\n\n\n“If anything more is left of Humphrey’s, we overrule it,” he declared.\n\n\nControversy over the regulatory sphere can seem dry, compared to Supreme Court battles centered on the Second Amendment, abortion and reproductive rights, religion, and immigration. But the work of US independent agencies cuts a swath across American life, for better or worse, imposing requirements on businesses and individuals in areas of public health and safety, consumer protection, with the goal of enhancing the common good.\n\n\n“Our Constitution creates three branches, but only one President,” Roberts wrote, expanding on his position in his 36-page opinion. “That President is not all powerful – not by any means. But he is not impotent either.

United States, that had allowed Congress to restrict the president’s authority to fire agency heads to ensure their independence. From his seat at the center of the elevated bench, the chief justice observed that the court had been steadily backing away from the 1935 precedent, which he insisted conflicted with constitutional history and structure.\n\n\n“If anything more is left of Humphrey’s, we overrule it,” he declared.\n\n\nControversy over the regulatory sphere can seem dry, compared to Supreme Court battles centered on the Second Amendment, abortion and reproductive rights, religion, and immigration. But the work of US independent agencies cuts a swath across American life, for better or worse, imposing requirements on businesses and individuals in areas of public health and safety, consumer protection, with the goal of enhancing the common good.\n\n\n“Our Constitution creates three branches, but only one President,” Roberts wrote, expanding on his position in his 36-page opinion. “That President is not all powerful – not by any means. But he is not impotent either. He and he alone is vested with ‘the executive Power’ of the United States.”\n\n\nRoberts’ sweeping approach to presidential power has manifested itself in multiple cases over the years, perhaps most notably in 2024 when the chief justice and fellow conservatives gave Trump substantial immunity from criminal prosecution, pointing to the president’s “conclusive and preclusive” authority.\n\n\nHis long-game effort to curtail independent agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission, at the center of the ruling Monday, is not unlike his successive moves curtailing the reach of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

Intentó despedir a críticos dentro del Gobierno pese a leyes federales que los protegían al exigir que un presidente mostrara causa —como mala conducta— antes de expulsarlos del cargo.\n\n\nMientras tanto, el tribunal le asestó a Trump una derrota personal, al dejar en pie el veredicto en su contra por abusar sexualmente y difamar a la excolumnista de revista E. Jean Carroll. Al negarse a escuchar la apelación de Trump, el tribunal allanó el camino para que Carroll cobre US$ 5 millones en daños.\n\n\nEn un fallo separado, los jueces también permitieron que los estados recojan y cuenten las papeletas de voto por correo que lleguen después del Día de las Elecciones, una decisión que llega mientras Trump presiona al Congreso para limitar el voto por correo y aprobar una ley de identificación de votantes.\n\n\nEstas son las principales conclusiones de las decisiones importantes del tribunal el lunes:\n\n\nEl Tribunal Supremo emitió el lunes dos opiniones al mismo tiempo sobre el despido de funcionarios del Gobierno: una que fue una derrota para Trump y la otra que fue una victoria.\n\n\nLa decisión más significativa, resuelta 6-3 siguiendo líneas conservadoras-liberales, se centró en Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, a quien Trump despidió el año pasado de la Comisión Federal de Comercio (FTC, por sus siglas en inglés) pese a una ley federal que exige que los presidentes muestren causa —como mala conducta— antes de destituir a los comisionados.\n\n\nTrump había argumentado que, como jefe del poder ejecutivo, debería tener la facultad de controlar a los líderes de las agencias independientes dentro del Gobierno federal y que la ley destinada a proteger a esos funcionarios de la destitución violaba los principios de separación de poderes.\n\n\nAl escribir para la mayoría, el presidente del Tribunal Supremo, John Roberts, estuvo en gran medida de acuerdo.\n\n\n“Los subordinados que ejercen el poder del presidente están sujetos a ser destituidos por él”, escribió Roberts. “Entonces, y solo entonces, pueden seguir siendo responsables ante el presidente, y el presidente ante el pueblo”.\n\n\nEl segundo caso, relativo a Cook, también abordó la capacidad del presidente para destituir a un funcionario, pero en circunstancias diferentes. En ese caso, Trump intentó deshacerse de Cook basándose en acusaciones de que había cometido fraude hipotecario.\n\n\nEl presidente anunció el despido en redes sociales el año pasado, publicando una carta que acusaba a Cook de “conducta engañosa y potencialmente delictiva” porque supuestamente afirmó que dos viviendas distintas eran su residencia principal en 2021.\n\n\nCook ha negado cualquier irregularidad y ha calificado los cargos de “fabricados”.\n\n\nSlaughter, por su parte, criticó el fallo en su contra y señaló la gran diferencia entre las dos cuestiones.\n\n\n“De algún modo Wall Street es especial y recibe un trato especial, pero aparte de eso, las agencias que velan por los estadounidenses de a pie no lo reciben”, dijo Slaughter en una conferencia de prensa el lunes.\n\n\nLa mayoría conservadora del Tribunal Supremo podría haber optado por una salida más limitada en el caso Slaughter. Podría haber dictaminado, por ejemplo, que el poder de la FTC ha crecido tanto desde que se creó en 1914 que ya no calificaba como una agencia que debería ser independiente del líder del poder ejecutivo.\n\n\nMientras que el tribunal sí dijo esas cosas, también se encaminó hacia un resultado amplio al revocar un precedente de la Corte Suprema de 1935 conocido como Humphrey’s Executor v. EE:UU., que permitía al Congreso incluir restricciones sobre cuándo un presidente puede destituir a los líderes de ciertas agencias independientes.\n\n\nEl desdén de Roberts por Humphrey’s prácticamente se desprendía de la página de su opinión.\n\n\n“Si queda algo más de Humphrey’s, lo revocamos”, escribió Roberts. “Humphrey’s ha sido durante décadas un resultado en busca de una justificación”.\n\n\nLa jueza Sonia Sotomayor, la progresista de mayor antigüedad del tribunal, leyó un disenso apasionado advirtiendo que la decisión podría conducir a “solo caos”.\n\n\nDando el inusual paso de leer desde el estrado —una señal de su fuerte desacuerdo— Sotomayor advirtió que la decisión “recalibraría fundamentalmente el equilibrio de poder en la nación”.\n\n\nSotomayor escribió que la decisión “deshace siglos de práctica política” y, en última instancia, empeoraría el Gobierno federal.\n\n\nHumphrey’s Executor se remonta al mandato del presidente Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt destituyó a un comisionado de la FTC, William Humphrey, en 1933, quien había sido nombrado por el presidente Herbert Hoover. Humphrey sostuvo que su destitución violó la ley y su sucesión buscó recuperar su salario.\n\n\nLa Corte Suprema acordó por unanimidad en ese momento que su destitución fue improcedente.\n\n\nEn las décadas transcurridas desde entonces, el precedente ha protegido a unas dos docenas de agencias independientes de la injerencia presidencial, incluidas la Comisión Reguladora Nuclear, la Comisión Federal de Comunicaciones y la Junta Nacional de Seguridad en el Transporte, entre otras. Para destituir a los líderes de esas agencias, los presidentes debían demostrar causa.\n\n\nAhora, probablemente no.\n\n\n“Aunque corresponde al Senado decidir si confirma a aquellos con quienes el presidente preferiría trabajar, ni el Congreso ni los tribunales pueden imponerle a quienes no puede hacer funcionar”, escribió Roberts. “Los subordinados que ejercen el poder del presidente están sujetos a ser destituidos por él”.\n\n\nAunque Cook ganó su batalla en la disputa sobre la capacidad de Trump para destituirla, si gana la guerra definitiva por su puesto sigue siendo una cuestión abierta, y una que probablemente regrese a la Corte Suprema en el futuro.\n\n\nLa decisión del alto tribunal del lunes abordó en parte la cuestión técnica —aunque enormemente trascendental— de si a Cook se le debe permitir permanecer en la Junta de la Reserva Federal mientras impugna el intento del presidente de destituirla. Pero el fallo, emitido en una opinión también redactada por Roberts, dejó claro que puede existir un escenario en el que Trump pueda destituirla legalmente.\n\n\nRoberts y los cuatro jueces que se sumaron a su opinión (el juez conservador Brett Kavanaugh y las juezas progresistas Sotomayor, Elena Kagan y Ketanji Brown Jackson) dijeron que la ley federal exigía que Trump le brindara a Cook el debido proceso adecuado antes de destituirla. La decisión del presidente de anunciar su destitución mediante una escueta publicación en redes sociales, escribió Roberts, fue insuficiente.\n\n\nEn cambio, dijo el presidente del tribunal, ella “tenía derecho a alguna explicación de las pruebas en cuestión, alguna vía para responder y un plazo para el cual la respuesta debía presentarse”.\n\n\nTrump ahora tendrá que darle la oportunidad de impugnar las acusaciones formuladas en su contra. Después de que eso ocurra, los tribunales inferiores podrán examinar “la validez y suficiencia de tales cargos” con el beneficio de contar con un expediente fáctico más desarrollado, escribió Roberts.\n\n\nSin alguna forma de revisión, dijo el tribunal, el presidente tendría poder para destituir a los líderes de la Fed “en cualquier momento, por cualquier motivo, sin aviso previo y sin control judicial posterior. Eso convertiría la protección por causa en poco más que un empleo a voluntad”.\n\n\nEso significa que es casi seguro que el caso volverá a llegar al alto tribunal en algún momento. “La cuestión definitiva de si el Presidente puede destituir a Cook por causa dependerá en parte de los hechos subyacentes”, escribió Roberts.\n\n\nPor ahora, mientras se realiza esa revisión, Cook permanecerá en su puesto.\n\n\nTrump aprovechó rápidamente la “base estrictamente procesal” sobre la que el tribunal resolvió el caso el lunes, escribiendo en una publicación en Truth Social que su administración “tomará medidas apropiadas de inmediato” para intentar mantener a Cook fuera de la junta.\n\n\nPesaban mucho sobre el caso de Cook las preocupaciones de economistas, políticos y otros acerca de la posibilidad de que Trump desencadenara una ruina económica si se le permitía destituir a miembros de la Reserva Federal con poca o ninguna supervisión.\n\n\nKavanaugh, quien fue nombrado para el tribunal por Trump, dejó claro que comparte esa ansiedad.\n\n\nEscribió en una opinión concurrente que, si el tribunal permitía que Trump destituyera a Cook por ahora, quedaría sin respuesta la pregunta de si el banco central de la nación es un organismo verdaderamente independiente.\n\n\n“Dejar esa cuestión abierta crearía una incertidumbre significativa sobre si el Tribunal podría pronto eliminar la independencia de la Reserva Federal y, con ello, exponer a la Reserva Federal a influencias políticas y poner en peligro la eficacia de la política monetaria de EE. UU.”, escribió Kavanaugh. “Incluso una incertidumbre temporal sobre el estatus de la Reserva Federal podría provocar (…) turbulencias en las economías de Estados Unidos y del mundo”.\n\n\n“No seguiría por ese camino. No me arriesgaría a desestabilizar la economía de EE.UU.”, escribió en parte.\n\n\nLos abogados de Cook habían insistido con fuerza en las posibles consecuencias económicas de una victoria de Trump. Quedó claro que, al menos en este caso, los jueces estaban escuchando.\n\n\nLos economistas coinciden en general en que una Fed independiente es esencial para una economía estadounidense estable. La Reserva Federal aborda períodos de alta inflación y alto desempleo influyendo en las tasas de interés en una u otra dirección según lo que muestren las cifras económicas. Una Fed politizada significaría que el banco central de EE.UU. no está haciendo lo que más conviene a la economía estadounidense.\n\n\nSin embargo, el también juez conservador Clarence Thomas no estuvo de acuerdo con la premisa de Kavanaugh de que la Fed ha sido una buena administradora de la economía de EE. UU. Escribió en una opinión disidente que “muchos no comparten la visión optimista del tribunal sobre el último siglo”.\n\n\n“Pero si el tribunal prefiere una Junta de la Reserva Federal independiente, entonces su problema no es con el presidente sino con la Constitución”, escribió Thomas.\n\n\nEn otra decisión de alto perfil, los jueces confirmaron leyes estatales que cuentan las papeletas por correo que llegan después del Día de las Elecciones, lo que equivalió a una refutación de las afirmaciones infundadas de Trump sobre un fraude generalizado en el voto por correo.\n\n\nEl alto tribunal rechazó los argumentos republicanos de que la práctica, adoptada por más de una docena de estados, contraviene las leyes federales que fijan el Día de las Elecciones en noviembre. Trump ha equiparado repetida y falsamente el voto por correo y los recuentos prolongados con “hacer trampa”, aunque él mismo ha votado por correo varias veces.\n\n\nEscribiendo para un tribunal 5-4, la jueza conservadora Amy Coney Barrett describió la disputa como “limitada”, centrada en la ley de Mississippi que cuenta “las papeletas con matasellos del día de las elecciones, pero recibidas hasta cinco días después”.\n\n\n“Las leyes del día de las elecciones no dicen nada sobre la recepción de las papeletas y no podemos añadir a las palabras que eligió el Congreso”, escribió Barrett, a la que se unieron Roberts y los tres progresistas del tribunal.\n\n\n“El fraude electoral y su apariencia son cuestiones serias”, añadió Barrett. “Como otras cuestiones de ese tipo, sin embargo, deben abordarse a través del proceso democrático”.\n\n\nTrump arremetió contra la decisión en una publicación en redes sociales, calificándola de una “tremenda derrota”.\n\n\n“¡NO PAPELETAS POR CORREO (EXCEPTO POR ENFERMEDAD, DISCAPACIDAD, DESPLIEGUE MILITAR O VIAJE!)”, escribió Trump.\n\n\nJusto antes de que la Corte Suprema comenzara a emitir su opinión, declinó abordar la apelación de Trump en el caso Carroll. Según su práctica habitual, el tribunal no explicó su razonamiento y ningún juez disintió públicamente.\n\n\nLa decisión del tribunal significa que el presidente ahora tendrá que pagarle a Carroll los US$ 5 millones, que le fueron otorgados hace varios años por un jurado en Nueva York después de que determinara que Trump la difamó cuando afirmó que ella inventó su historia de que él la agredió sexualmente a mediados de la década de 1990.\n\n\nTrump transfirió US$ 5,5 millones a una cuenta controlada por el tribunal en 2023 tras el veredicto del jurado, por lo que es probable que Carroll reciba el dinero relativamente rápido.\n\n\nTrump, quien ha negado repetidamente haber cometido irregularidades, ha afirmado que el juez federal de distrito Lewis Kaplan, quien supervisó el juicio civil, cometió numerosos errores al permitir que el jurado escuchara el testimonio de dos mujeres que alegaron que Trump las agredió sexualmente hace años.\n\n\nTrump también argumentó que el juez no debería haber permitido que los jurados vieran la cinta de “Access Hollywood”, que captó a Trump en 2005 con un micrófono abierto diciendo que manosea y besa a las mujeres.\n\n\nLa apelación fue reprogramada durante meses en la Corte Suprema, que repetidamente la fijó para discusión y luego la retiró de la agenda.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Then, he dispatched a spokesperson for his campaign to deliver a message that his own GOP colleagues have been eager to hear for months.\n\n\nThe 57-year-old congressman will be “fully transparent” about his nearly four-month absence when he returns to Washington on Tuesday, spokesperson Harrison Neely told CNN.\n\n\nUpon his return, the two-term Republican is planning to deliver a floor speech that is expected to address his unexplained health condition, according to a person familiar with the plans. For months, Kean’s family and his aides have said little about his absence except that he is recovering from a medical condition and is “under a doctor’s care,” even as fellow Republicans have publicly urged him to divulge more information.\n\n\nHis absence has rattled House Republicans, who are worried it could complicate the GOP’s ability to hold onto a critical swing seat in an already difficult midterm cycle, multiple sources previously told CNN.\n\n\nHouse Speaker Mike Johnson has spoken by phone with Kean and has said publicly that he’s urged Kean to explain his absence to his voters.\n\n\nParty leaders and senior aides have repeatedly told CNN they do not have any idea where Kean is, a rarity for a House GOP leadership team tasked with keeping close contact with rank-and-file members as they navigate their historically narrow majority. He has missed hundreds of votes — many close — since early March.\n\n\nHis interaction with a CNN reporter on Monday appears to be only his second documented sighting in months, after he was first spotted at his Westfield home by The New York Times last week.\n\n\nIn the meantime, senior leadership staff have been left to speculate about his ailment and why he would choose not to disclose it for months. Lawmakers who believed they were close to him have been irked by unreturned messages. Democratic operatives have stepped up their attacks, newly confident they can flip his competitive battleground seat.\n\n\nIt’s not unusual for members of Congress to take medical leave, sometimes unable to vote for weeks at a time. But even GOP aides privately admit they are frustrated with how Kean’s aides have handled his absence, refusing to disclose his health condition and leaving his constituents in the dark.\n\n\nThe New Jersey congressman said in late April on social media that he’s dealing with a “personal medical issue,” without specifying what it is, and said he would be back “very soon.” Late last month, he told The New Jersey Globe that he’d be back in the “next couple of weeks.”\n\n\nIn early June, Kean ran unopposed in a primary, with some GOP operatives privately unsure whether he would be on the ticket in November. Kean’s office said in public statements that he planned to run for reelection.\n\n\nHis Democratic opponent, Rebecca Bennett, has said​ little about Kean’s absence. But the House Democratic campaign chief, Suzan Delbene, has insisted he must be transparent.\n\n\n“Clearly, I wish him the best, but it is his job also to be transparent with his community and there has been no clarity about why he has been gone so long,” Delbene recently told a group of local reporters, according to The New Jersey Globe.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Ruben Gallego said Monday that President Donald Trump is “targeting” the Arizona Democrat with a Justice Department investigation into his campaign finances.\n\n\nReacting to a report of the inquiry in Axios, the spokesperson accused the Justice Department of having been “weaponized” and said the administration was effectively trying to quiet those who criticize it.\n\n\n“Trump is targeting Senator Gallego while the most weaponized Department of Justice in history is turning a blind eye to Trump’s unprecedented corruption that’s raising costs for families, and instead targeting anyone who gets in their way — like the Federal Reserve, members of Congress doing their oversight duty, and now Senator Gallego,” the spokesperson said in a statement.\n\n\nThe spokesperson said Gallego’s office did not have independent knowledge, outside of the Axios report, into the DOJ investigation or what it was seeking to uncover. Axios reported that the investigation stemmed from a “whistleblower complaint” out of Southern California.\n\n\nThe Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.\n\n\n“It’s the least surprising news of the week that this comes immediately after the Senate Ethics Committee cleared Senator Gallego of rightwing smears pushed by the administration weeks ago,” the Gallego spokeperson said.\n\n\nEarlier Monday, Gallego’s office released a letter from the Senate Ethics Committee revealing the panel closed a complaint filed against him by Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. The inquiry, which alleged “campaign finance violations and inappropriate conduct of a sexual nature,” would be separate from an investigation by federal law enforcement.\n\n\n“Based on the investigation of the Committee, the Committee did not find evidence that your actions violated Federal law, Senate Rules, or related standards of conduct,” the letter said.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Muchos han pasado el día entero, le dicen a CNN, conduciendo en busca de combustible, algo extraordinario en la capital de uno de los mayores productores de energía del mundo e inesperado en una ciudad que durante mucho tiempo se ha mantenido aislada de los efectos de la guerra en Ucrania.\n\n\nPero ahora, por primera vez en un conflicto que está en su quinto año, la cruda realidad de lo que el Kremlin todavía insiste en llamar una “operación militar especial” se ha vuelto imposible de ignorar cómodamente para los rusos comunes.\n\n\nEn el último mes, la campaña de drones sin precedentes de Ucrania ha sido extraordinaria en escala e impacto.\n\n\nEn una sola noche la semana pasada, Rusia informó haber interceptado 660 drones en 12 regiones, uno de los mayores ataques ucranianos desde que Rusia lanzó su invasión a gran escala en 2022.\n\n\nLos objetivos, lejos de ser aleatorios, se seleccionan cuidadosamente: refinerías, terminales petroleras, buques navales, plantas de armamento en lo profundo del territorio ruso. Es una campaña diseñada para desangrar la economía de guerra rusa, elevando los costos económicos y políticos para el Kremlin de seguir con su guerra.\n\n\nY está funcionando.\n\n\nEn toda Rusia, medios independientes han estado documentando filas crecientes de vehículos esperando en estaciones de combustible a medida que se hacen sentir las escaseces, escenas que las autoridades preferirían ocultar. En Crimea, anexada a Ucrania en 2014, se suspendieron las ventas de combustible mientras la península era puesta bajo estado de emergencia.\n\n\nIncluso para el Kremlin, que a menudo minimiza los reveses dolorosos, la cruda realidad se ha vuelto difícil de eludir.\n\n\nEl presidente de Rusia Vladimir Putin presidió una reunión de emergencia el fin de semana y reveló que las reservas nacionales de combustible se han reducido a niveles incómodos.\n\n\n“Ustedes saben muy bien que persisten los problemas para los conductores y para las empresas”, dijo Putin a los altos funcionarios reunidos, reconociendo lo que las autoridades han venido minimizando durante semanas.\n\n\n“infortunadamente, todavía hay colas en las gasolineras también”, añadió.\n\n\nHubo otras señales de que el Kremlin siente cierta presión. Putin reveló que se está considerando una prohibición total de las exportaciones de diésel —después de que su propio viceprimer ministro había dicho a los periodistas que no era necesaria ninguna prohibición. El líder ruso confirmó que un grupo de trabajo ahora lidia con los problemas de combustible.\n\n\nPutin también advirtió que la agricultura está en riesgo y dijo que Rusia debe “reducir al mínimo el impacto de los ataques terroristas contra nuestros objetivos e infraestructura civiles”, una reversión cuidadosamente formulada para un líder que ha desestimado los ataques con drones ucranianos como irrelevantes.\n\n\nNo hay poca ironía en el hecho de que, durante años, la destrucción sistemática de la infraestructura energética ucraniana —centrales eléctricas, subestaciones, plantas de calefacción— ha sido una de las estrategias de guerra más deliberadas de Rusia, diseñada para quebrar la moral civil haciendo insoportable la vida cotidiana. Ucrania ahora parece haber dado vuelta esa lógica, y los rusos empiezan a sentir ellos mismos el filo de esa estrategia.\n\n\nSin embargo, eso impulsa la esperanza entre los críticos occidentales de Moscú.\n\n\nEn la cumbre del Grupo de los Siete en Francia a principios de este mes, la presidenta de la Comisión Europea, Ursula von der Leyen, fue inequívoca. “La marea está cambiando para Ucrania”, afirmó. “La situación en 2026 es muy diferente de la de 2025. El cansancio de Rusia es evidente. Es el momento de redoblar nuestro apoyo”.\n\n\nFuncionarios occidentales dicen que la campaña ucraniana ha estrangulado los suministros de combustible rusos y las entregas militares, frenando los esfuerzos de Moscú en el campo de batalla.\n\n\nEn un informe reciente, el Consejo de Relaciones Exteriores señaló que una ampliación de las operaciones con drones contribuyó directamente a que Ucrania recuperara más de 520 kilómetros cuadrados de territorio en febrero y revirtiera una tendencia de avances rusos que había caracterizado el campo de batalla durante todo 2025.\n\n\nIncluso el tono del presidente de EE.UU. Donald Trump parece haber cambiado.\n\n\nEn la cumbre del G7, les dijo a los periodistas que Rusia “debería llegar a un acuerdo”. Días después, de regreso en Washington y hablando desde la Oficina Oval, calificó al presidente de Ucrania Volodymyr Zelensky de “valiente” y de alguien que “lo está haciendo bastante bien” en la guerra; palabras notablemente más cálidas de un presidente que pasó gran parte del año pasado presionando públicamente a Kyiv para que negociara desde una posición de debilidad.\n\n\nZelensky, por su parte, ha sido explícito sobre lo que cree que su campaña de drones puede lograr. Con el apoyo adecuado, Ucrania puede “crear rápidamente condiciones en las que Rusia se verá obligada a elegir la paz”, dijo.\n\n\nPero puede ser un error concluir que los problemas actuales de Rusia obligarán al Kremlin a ceder, al menos no todavía y probablemente no pronto.\n\n\nPutin, a lo largo de las décadas, ha construido una imagen como un líder intransigente, un hecho que hace que una capitulación, una retirada o incluso un compromiso en Ucrania sea demasiado improbable y difícil de llevar a cabo para él.\n\n\nCon bastante más de un millón de muertos y heridos en la invasión de Putin, según las mejores estimaciones occidentales, y con reclamos de soberanía apostados sobre cuatro regiones ucranianas que aún no controla por completo, cualquier acuerdo que no pueda presentarse en Moscú como una victoria decisiva corre el riesgo de generar serias tensiones políticas internas.\n\n\nLos halcones en el círculo de Putin todavía le están diciendo que toda la región del Donbás de Ucrania puede y debe ser tomada. Ese argumento no desaparece solo porque las refinerías rusas estén en llamas.\n\n\nY aunque la actual escasez de combustible del país es una realidad dolorosa, no debe confundirse con una bandera blanca.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

A court spokesperson did not respond to questions about Sotomayor’s report.\n\n\nJustice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who was nominated by President Joe Biden, reported $1.2 million in book “advance” revenue from Penguin Random House. Jackson continues to tour the country promoting her memoir, “Lovely One,” which she published in 2024. Jackson recently published a young adult version of her book.\n\n\nJustice Amy Coney Barrett, who was President Donald Trump’s last nominee to the high court, reported nearly $850,000 in revenue from Javelin Group, which last year published her first book, “Listening to the Law.”\n\n\nJustice Neil Gorsuch, a conservative, has also been appearing at events to promote a children’s book he wrote that is focused on the Declaration of Independence. Gorsuch reported $300,000 in royalty income last year from HarperCollins Publishers.\n\n\nSupreme Court justices, who earn more than $300,000 a year, are barred from receiving more than about $30,000 in outside income annually. Book revenue is exempt from that policy, creating an incentive for the nine to write beyond their opinions.\n\n\nConservative Justice Samuel Alito asked for additional time to file his annual report, as has been his practice over the years.\n\n\nThe justices also listed several trips abroad and in the US.\n\n\nBarrett, for instance, reported traveling to London last fall for a “legal theory workshop” that was paid for by the University of Notre Dame Law School. Gorsuch traveled to Prague in July for an “educational program” sponsored by George Mason University.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Two others were injured and are receiving medical care.\n\n\nThe tragedy marks the first deaths for the US Wildland Fire Service, a grim milestone for the new federal agency, which launched in January to coordinate firefighting efforts on public land.\n\n\nBut the wildfire was just one of many tearing through the region near the Colorado-Utah border that day. The blaze continued to spread over the weekend and merged with nearby fires to create what agencies have now dubbed the Snyder Fire.\n\n\nUtah Gov. Spencer Cox said his state’s firefighting resources have been stretched to the brink after a historic drought and hundreds of wildfires. But, he noted, the most unprecedented element is the fire itself.\n\n\n“We are seeing fire behavior that even our most experienced firefighters say they’ve never witnessed before,” Cox said.\n\n\nThe Snyder Fire is still 0% contained, according to the Upper Colorado River Interagency Fire Management unit.\n\n\nAnd the wildland firefighters’ deaths – coming so early in the dry summer season – are a stark reminder of the extreme risk some of the country’s most underrecognized first responders are facing.\n\n\n“While the wild animals and everything are running out of the woods (to escape the flames), our wildland guys are running in,” said Burk Minor, executive director of the Wildland Firefighter Foundation, which has offered resources, financial support and assistance to the families of wildland firefighters killed in the line of duty.\n\n\n“But when you’re battling Mother Nature, you’re up against the elements all the time. … Bad things happen on bad days.”\n\n\nA solemn salute to ‘unsung heroes’\n\n\n\nOn Sunday, the American flag-draped caskets carrying the three federal firefighters arrived in Grand Junction, Colorado.\n\n\nDozens of firefighters lined the street in a solemn salute to their fallen colleagues. The procession — with engines from multiple local fire departments — made its way from the airport to the local coroner’s office.\n\n\nBut Grand Junction’s cloudless blue sky gave no hint of the inferno that continued to ravage the Colorado-Utah border less than an hour away.\n\n\nDrought and unusually hot, gusty winds that reached up to 60 mph over the weekend have transformed the area into a tinderbox where more than 28,000 acres have already been scorched.\n\n\nAlthough every fire season brings new challenges, Minor said in his 30 years advocating for wildland firefighters, he’s borne witness to the realities of climate change.\n\n\nWildfires have become less common over the past decade, according to an American Burn Association study, but wildland firefighter deaths have increased, rising from 2% to 10% of all firefighting fatalities.\n\n\n“In old-school fire, it just used to be a wildfire deep in the mountains,” Minor said. “Over the years – call it El Niño or global warming – our fuel conditions out there are changing.”\n\n\nNow, he said, any fire has the potential to be “catastrophic.” And that carries an inherent danger – especially for wildland firefighters.\n\n\nBut what hasn’t changed are the men and women who dedicate their lives to battling the blazes.\n\n\nWildland firefighter crews tackle fires by living among them, Minor said, sometimes for weeks at a time. Helitack crews – like the one from Rifle County – often parachute into remote areas and help coordinate water drops to extinguish the flames. Others dig fire lines or focus on fuel reduction.\n\n\nEveryone dedicates their lives to protecting public lands. But some, tragically, do not make it home. June 30 marks the 13th anniversary of the Yarnell Hill Fire in Arizona, where 19 members of the Granite Mountain Hotshot crew were killed in a burnover.\n\n\n“All anniversaries are hard. It doesn’t matter if there’s a group of 19 or one individual, (there’s a) loss that’s felt in the wildland community and the families themselves,” Minor said.\n\n\nThe Wildland Firefighter Foundation maintains a monument in Boise, Idaho, as well as a Wall of Honor, which memorializes each of the fallen.\n\n\nAt least three more names will be added to their memorial at the end of this fire season.

Two others were injured and are receiving medical care.\n\n\nThe tragedy marks the first deaths for the US Wildland Fire Service, a grim milestone for the new federal agency, which launched in January to coordinate firefighting efforts on public land.\n\n\nBut the wildfire was just one of many tearing through the region near the Colorado-Utah border that day. The blaze continued to spread over the weekend and merged with nearby fires to create what agencies have now dubbed the Snyder Fire.\n\n\nUtah Gov. Spencer Cox said his state’s firefighting resources have been stretched to the brink after a historic drought and hundreds of wildfires. But, he noted, the most unprecedented element is the fire itself.\n\n\n“We are seeing fire behavior that even our most experienced firefighters say they’ve never witnessed before,” Cox said.\n\n\nThe Snyder Fire is still 0% contained, according to the Upper Colorado River Interagency Fire Management unit.\n\n\nAnd the wildland firefighters’ deaths – coming so early in the dry summer season – are a stark reminder of the extreme risk some of the country’s most underrecognized first responders are facing.\n\n\n“While the wild animals and everything are running out of the woods (to escape the flames), our wildland guys are running in,” said Burk Minor, executive director of the Wildland Firefighter Foundation, which has offered resources, financial support and assistance to the families of wildland firefighters killed in the line of duty.\n\n\n“But when you’re battling Mother Nature, you’re up against the elements all the time. … Bad things happen on bad days.”\n\n\nA solemn salute to ‘unsung heroes’\n\n\n\nOn Sunday, the American flag-draped caskets carrying the three federal firefighters arrived in Grand Junction, Colorado.\n\n\nDozens of firefighters lined the street in a solemn salute to their fallen colleagues. The procession — with engines from multiple local fire departments — made its way from the airport to the local coroner’s office.\n\n\nBut Grand Junction’s cloudless blue sky gave no hint of the inferno that continued to ravage the Colorado-Utah border less than an hour away.\n\n\nDrought and unusually hot, gusty winds that reached up to 60 mph over the weekend have transformed the area into a tinderbox where more than 28,000 acres have already been scorched.\n\n\nAlthough every fire season brings new challenges, Minor said in his 30 years advocating for wildland firefighters, he’s borne witness to the realities of climate change.\n\n\nWildfires have become less common over the past decade, according to an American Burn Association study, but wildland firefighter deaths have increased, rising from 2% to 10% of all firefighting fatalities.\n\n\n“In old-school fire, it just used to be a wildfire deep in the mountains,” Minor said. “Over the years – call it El Niño or global warming – our fuel conditions out there are changing.”\n\n\nNow, he said, any fire has the potential to be “catastrophic.” And that carries an inherent danger – especially for wildland firefighters.\n\n\nBut what hasn’t changed are the men and women who dedicate their lives to battling the blazes.\n\n\nWildland firefighter crews tackle fires by living among them, Minor said, sometimes for weeks at a time. Helitack crews – like the one from Rifle County – often parachute into remote areas and help coordinate water drops to extinguish the flames. Others dig fire lines or focus on fuel reduction.\n\n\nEveryone dedicates their lives to protecting public lands. But some, tragically, do not make it home. June 30 marks the 13th anniversary of the Yarnell Hill Fire in Arizona, where 19 members of the Granite Mountain Hotshot crew were killed in a burnover.\n\n\n“All anniversaries are hard. It doesn’t matter if there’s a group of 19 or one individual, (there’s a) loss that’s felt in the wildland community and the families themselves,” Minor said.\n\n\nThe Wildland Firefighter Foundation maintains a monument in Boise, Idaho, as well as a Wall of Honor, which memorializes each of the fallen.\n\n\nAt least three more names will be added to their memorial at the end of this fire season. With hundreds of firefighters still battling blazes in Colorado and Utah, Minor said he’s hoping and praying that list does not continue to grow.\n\n\n“When you say ‘firefighter,’ everybody goes right to the red truck and the cities,” Minor said. “It isn’t until there’s a column of smoke in the area and the evacuations are coming … that we start recognizing there’s wildland firefighters out there.”\n\n\n“They’re unsung heroes.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Cuando una luna llena ocurre cerca del apogeo, a menudo se la llama una microluna, y la de junio será la segunda más pequeña de 2026.\n\n\nAunque la Luna se verá ligeramente más pequeña, la diferencia apenas será perceptible a simple vista, según la Dra. Pamela Gay, científica sénior del Planetary Science Institute.\n\n\nPara obtener la mejor vista de la Luna de fresa, que estará baja en el cielo, se recomienda salir al exterior y “encontrar un lugar oscuro libre de obstrucciones, como edificios altos, árboles, cosas así”, asegura Noah Petro, jefe del Laboratorio de Geología, Geofísica y Geoquímica Planetarias de la NASA en el Goddard Space Flight Center en Greenbelt, Maryland.\n\n\nEl nombre del fenómeno lunar proviene de las tribus algonquinas nativas americanas, que denominaron el evento por la alineación de la Luna llena con la temporada de cosecha de bayas. Los abenaki occidentales la conocen como la Luna de la azada y los anishinaabe como la Luna de la floración, según The Old Farmer’s Almanac.\n\n\nLos observadores de la Luna llena de junio pueden notar que parece cambiar de color. Sin embargo, el tono del cuerpo celeste en realidad no cambia.\n\n\n“Nuestra Luna en sí tiene un color y ese color lo determina la mineralogía, la forma en que la luz solar se refleja en ella”, dijo Gay. Pero el detalle, añadió, es que la luz que se refleja en la luna tiene que pasar por la atmósfera de la Tierra para llegar a nuestros ojos, y el color de esa luz puede cambiar ligeramente dependiendo de lo que haya en la atmósfera.\n\n\nEn áreas que experimentan una gran contaminación del aire, la Luna de fresa puede parecer de un tono más cálido, con un color más intenso.\n\n\nLa Luna de fresa de este año llega con una emoción creciente por la exploración lunar, apenas meses después de que la misión Artemis II enviara con éxito a un cuarteto de astronautas alrededor de la cara oculta de la Luna. Con la expectativa aumentando por la próxima misión Artemis, que podría lanzarse tan pronto como a finales del próximo año, y la perspectiva de un alunizaje después de eso, algunos expertos recomiendan aprovechar las oportunidades de observación del cielo como una forma de explorar la conexión cada vez más profunda de la Tierra con nuestro satélite y más allá.\n\n\n“Estamos a punto de enviar humanos de regreso a la Luna con Artemis. En un par de años, tendremos astronautas aterrizando en la Luna”, dijo Petro. “Ahora es el momento de empezar a construir esa relación con la Luna. Y la forma más fácil de hacerlo es simplemente salir y mirar hacia arriba”.\n\n\nHay seis Lunas llenas adicionales para ver en 2026, incluidas superlunas en noviembre y diciembre, cuando la luna está más cerca de la Tierra en su órbita y parece más grande.\n\n\nAquí está la lista de las Lunas llenas restantes, según Farmers’ Almanac.\n\n\n29 de julio: Luna del Ciervo\n\n\n28 de agosto: Luna del Esturión\n\n\n26 de septiembre: Luna de la Cosecha\n\n\n26 de octubre: Luna del Cazador\n\n\n24 de noviembre: Luna del Castor\n\n\n23 de diciembre: Luna Fría\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Is a bigger win for him coming?","excerpt":"By Tierney Sneed, CNN\n\n\n(CNN) — The Supreme Court’s ruling letting more than a dozen states keep their post-election grace periods for mail ballots is a defeat for President Donald Trump and Republicans ahead of the midterms, but the GOP can still capture significant victories in major election-r...","content":"By Tierney Sneed, CNN\n\n\n(CNN) — The Supreme Court’s ruling letting more than a dozen states keep their post-election grace periods for mail ballots is a defeat for President Donald Trump and Republicans ahead of the midterms, but the GOP can still capture significant victories in major election-related cases coming further down the pipeline.\n\n\nOn Monday, two Republican-appointees joined the three liberal justices in rejecting GOP claims that federal law did not allow states to count postmarked mail ballots that arrive at election offices after Election Day. The ruling upheld Mississippi’s five-day mail ballot grace period — after the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals had struck it down. It comes after Trump last year tried to unilaterally punish states for counting mail ballots arrived after Election Day.\n\n\nBut in an under-the-radar maneuver, the Supreme Court took up a separate case that could help Trump and Republicans tighten voter rules in the name of preventing noncitizen voting. Next term, the justices will consider reviving parts of an Arizona law requiring proof of citizenship for voting. The case — RNC v. Mi Familia Vota — could also give states the green light to conduct mass voter purges of suspected noncitizens in the days and the weeks before an election.\n\n\nThat case won’t likely be settled by the midterms, but stands to be resolved ahead of 2028. It fits into a Trump agenda of pushing for more aggressive action to clamp down on noncitizen voting — which studies have shown to be very rare — even if the tactics risk disenfranchising eligible voters as well.\n\n\nThe mail ballot case decided Monday “favored states’ rights in a way that benefited voters,” said Richard Hasen, an election law professor at the University of California, Los Angeles.\n\n\n“Mi Familia favors states’ rights against the interests of voters,” Hasen told CNN.\n\n\nBoth cases come down to interpreting laws passed by Congress, noted Justin Levitt, a Loyola Law School professor who served as a White House adviser on voting during the Biden administration. On Monday, the court said that Congress did not intend to restrict ballot-receipt deadlines for mail ballots when it standardized the federal Election Day in November.\n\n\nThe Arizona case is more complicated, Levitt said, because that law in question — the National Voter Registration Act — is less clear than the federal statutes at the center of the ballot deadline case.\n\n\n“I don’t think (Monday’s ruling) is a harbinger of what the court is going to do on the NVRA,” he said.\n\n\nA loss for Republicans after they won big on redistricting\n\n\n\nTrump and Republicans’ loss on mail ballot deadlines came after they secured a much bigger win earlier this spring, when the Supreme Court gutted what remained of the Voting Rights Act and made it much harder for minority voters to challenge redistricting plans on the basis of the VRA’s ban on racial discrimination in voting.\n\n\nThe 6-3 decision by the conservative majority — led by an opinion from Justice Samuel Alito — gives states much more freedom to gerrymander their maps to the detriment of voters of color.\n\n\nThe conservative majority said it was bringing courts’ understanding of the Voting Rights Act in line with the Constitution.\n\n\nThe ruling was quickly used by Republicans to eliminate Democratic-held congressional seats authorized under the Voting Rights Act in states across the South. More maps will be redrawn ahead of the 2028 election in a way that shrinks minority representation — not just at the federal level, but also in state and local elected bodies.\n\n\nThe decision was the third major decision to winnow down the VRA in favor of states’ ability to regulate elections as they see fit. The conservative majority had also, in recent years, shut the door for federal courts to police states for partisan gerrymanders and made it harder to bring constitutional challenges to racial gerrymanders.\n\n\n“There are all these cases where the court seems to want to be out of the business of dealing with election issues,” said Derek Muller, an election law professor at the University of Notre Dame Law School.\n\n\nMonday’s opinion for the cross-ideological majority in mail ballot deadline case — an opinion written by conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett — stressed that it was a “narrow” case that didn’t deal with any constitutional issues.\n\n\n“The election-day statutes say nothing about ballot receipt and we cannot add to the words Congress chose,” Barrett wrote, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and the court’s three liberals. Nothing would stop Congress in the future from overriding those state grace periods.\n\n\nFour conservatives dissented in an opinion written by Alito that claimed the majority’s ruling, by sanctioning post-election mail ballot deadlines, was increasing the risk of election fraud. Barrett’s opinion countered that it was up to legislatures to make those kinds of policy choices, and Congress’ Election Day statute had not imposed a restriction on mail ballot grace periods.\n\n\n“Federalism is not a partisan issue,” Muller said. “If you are letting the states do different things, sometimes they’re going to benefit Republicans and sometimes they’re going to benefit Democrats.”\n\n\nRepublicans benefited from another move by the justices Monday, when the Supreme Court refused to take up a ruling that OKed a Texas law that bars — with criminal penalties — compensation for individuals or groups that help voters fill out their mail ballots.\n\n\nHowever, the GOP got a punt from the high court in another case, coming out of Pennsylvania. Republicans are appealing a decision that struck down the state’s requirement that voters write the date on their mail ballot envelopes. The justices on Monday asked for more briefing on whether they should take up the case, which would could make it easier for states to defend voter restrictions that are challenged in court as unconstitutional.\n\n\nTuesday, the court’s final day for releasing opinions, the justices are set to decide a case brought by Republicans seeking to weaken campaign finance limits.\n\n\nGOP bid for mass voter purges right before elections\n\n\n\nSince returning to the White House, Trump has been fixated on exerting more federal control over election administration\n\n\nTrump responded to Monday’s ruling by demanding that Congress pass his prized piece of elections legislation, the SAVE America Act, which has stalled in the Senate. He wants to use that bill to severely restrict mail voting. But the version of the legislation that has passed in the House is focused on voter ID and citizenship verification of voters.\n\n\nIf it was passed, which appears to be a long shot, it would override parts of the National Voter Registration Act.\n\n\nIn the meantime, the Supreme Court’s ultimate ruling on the Arizona law could determine that ability of states to implement their own statutes that would achieve the same goals on voter proof of citizenship.\n\n\n“Trump may not get his SAVE Act, but we could get mini-SAVE Acts in lots of Republican states by 2028,” Hasen said.\n\n\nThe most consequential question the court will be considering is whether a provision of the NVRA that bars “systematic” voter removal programs within 90 days of an election applies to purges aimed at suspected non-citizens.\n\n\nOther states, in addition to Arizona, have tried to conduct such mass purges in the days and weeks before an election. Lower courts have blocked those purges because of the NVRA’s so-called quiet period, but the Supreme Court has previously signaled a different view, having issued an emergency order just days before the 2024 election to let Virginia restart a mass purge aimed at noncitizens.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Chris Canales, who co-sponsored the plan to spend $430,000 from next year’s budget to keep open the Welcome Center in South El Paso, told El Paso Matters. “To me, that’s devastating. I’ve been working on this for months.”\n\n\n\nThe City Council initially voted 6-2 to allocate the American Rescue Plan Act interest earnings to the Welcome Center, operated by the Opportunity Center for the Homeless, during a special meeting about the next fiscal year’s budget Tuesday, June 23, that began 30 minutes after the council wrapped up a nearly 10-hour regular meeting. \n\n\n\nCanales initially was joined in voting yes by city Reps. Josh Acevedo – the plan’s co-sponsor – Lily Limón, Cynthia Boyar Trejo, Alejandra Chávez and Ivan Niño. City Reps. Deanna Maldonado-Rocha and Art Fierro voted against the plan.\n\n\n\nBut an hour later, Chávez moved to reconsider the vote, and she and Niño switched to no, creating a 4-4 tie. Johnson then cast the tie-breaking vote to deny the funding.\n\n\n\nJohnson said he broke the tie vote because the Welcome Center funding is at a point where “we need stitches and not a Band-Aid.” He said he wants to work with city staff on a longer-term funding solution.\n\n\n\nChávez, before her first vote in favor of the funding, questioned staff about the efficiency of the Welcome Center operations.\n\n\n\n“How do we know that the Welcome Center is operating as efficiently as possible before committing to sustaining their operations at that level?” Chávez said during the meeting.\n\n\n\nShe later told El Paso Matters that the question was no different than what she has asked the city to do with their departments – to make sure they operate as efficiently as possible in case there are potential cost savings.\n\n\n\nChávez said allocating the ARPA funding felt rushed and she wants to look for a more long-term funding solution for the Welcome Center rather than put a patch on it.\n\n\n\nJosh Acevedo\n\n\n\nAcevedo said he thinks Chávez, Johnson, Maldonado-Rocha and Fierro may have been retaliating against him, Canales and Limón for supporting an effort that could have ended a controversial incentive agreement between the city and Meta for the Northeast El Paso data center at the June 9 council meeting. Chávez, Boyar Trejo, Maldonado-Rocha, Fierro and Niño voted against the motion to reopen the incentives awarded by the City Council in 2023.\n\n\n\n“It was really interesting that this change of heart happened so suddenly after the first vote went through, and to me, I can’t think of anything other than this being tied to revenge on the Meta item that happened two weeks ago,” Acevedo told El Paso Matters. “I think this is how they took it out on us.”\n\n\n\nChávez and Niño denied that the Meta vote played a role in their decision on funding for the Welcome Center.\n\n\n\nRead more: City of El Paso’s Meta data center incentive agreement to remain in place\n\n\n\nAlejandra Chavez\n\n\n\n“My leadership style is never retaliatory in nature. I don’t think that that would reflect well on my value system,” Chávez told El Paso Matters of the implication that her vote was because of the public backlash following the Meta vote.\n\n\n\nNiño said he decided to change his vote to allow the city to look for longer-term funding solutions for the Welcome Center during the ongoing budget process. He said his vote had nothing to do with the Meta backlash.\n\n\n\n“We all should be OK to disagree with each other – that’s part of our democratic process,” Niño said.\n\n\n\nFierro and Maldonado-Rocha, who twice voted against the Welcome Center funding, said they did not get briefed that the ARPA interest funding was available until it was mentioned as an option for the Welcome Center that night.\n\n\n\nBoyar Trejo was the only city representative to vote twice in favor of the Welcome Center funding proposal and oppose the efforts to reopen the Meta incentives. She didn’t return calls and emails to her office for comment.\n\n\n\nLimón said she is not sure why the vote switched and noted some tense moments during the final hours of the evening, but she was devastated that the Welcome Center will not get the funding.\n\n\n\n“My deepest concern, though, is that we (the City Council) are split – we are definitely split at this time,” she said.\n\n\n\nMayor Renard Johnson listens to public comments during a city council meeting, May 26, 2026. (Corrie Boudreaux/El Paso Matters)\n\n\n\nJohnson said he does not think the City Council is split. He said the heated debate over the Welcome Center came at the end of a long day, and suggested a combination of factors such as exhaustion and hunger may have come into play.\n\n\n\n“That’s quite possible, but I think we have a very good, good council. I think you know, we are – our honeymoon is over,” Johnson said of this being the second year the current City Council is serving together. \n\n\n\n“We’re hitting our stride, and we’re finding out where our differences are, and some people are very passionate about it. But I think at the end of the day we were elected by the taxpayers to do the work for the people, and that’s what we need to continue doing.”\n\n\n\nThe reversal sparked a heated exchange during the June 23 meeting, exposing divisions among council members over budget priorities and community needs.\n\n\n\nRELATED: New El Paso initiative uses HEART to reach homeless \n\n\n\nThe vote also leaves the Welcome Center without the city funding supporters said it needed to remain open after Aug. 31.\n\n\n\nThe city plans to adopt its budget Aug. 18 for the next fiscal year that begins Sept. 1. The city administration will file a proposed budget July 17, which the City Council can change until it is adopted.\n\n\n\nA stuffed bear sits atop the belongings of a guest at the Welcome Center, June 25, 2025. (Corrie Boudreaux/El Paso Matters)\n\n\n\nThe Welcome Center opened in August 2022 during the COVID-19 pandemic and migrant surges as part of the El Paso Helps initiative to provide immediate food and shelter and basic medical services to the homeless while individuals were referred to other community providers for extended services. \n\n\n\nThe center operates as a primary stabilization and triage hub for services and provides coordinated intake, safety, assessment, shelter access and connection to housing, medical and behavioral health resources.\n\n\n\nIt costs about $720,000 per year to operate the Welcome Center, which works in partnership with agencies like the United Way for homelessness prevention and housing stabilization and Project Amistad for street outreach and housing placement.\n\n\n\nThe center has helped about 3,000 individuals. Of those, 562 have been helped finding permanent housing placements, 547 have been placed in shelters and program placements and 134 have gotten medical and or behavioral health placements, according to a Welcome Center fact sheet.\n\n\n\n“I do believe that the city – in this particular case – made the wrong decision,” John Martin, executive director for the Opportunity Center for the Homeless, told El Paso Matters about the City Council vote against the funding.\n\n\n\nMartin said it can take an extended amount of time to find longer-term funding sources and the bridge funding would have taken the Welcome Center through almost another year of operations while a more sustainable solution is found.\n\n\n\nWithout additional funding, operations will begin to taper at the beginning of August with the center set to close its doors Aug. 31, Martin said.\n\n\n\nCity staff during the meeting said there was $430,000 in ARPA fund interest savings that would be ideal for a one-time funding use.\n\n\n\n\nThe post Mayor’s tie-breaking vote blocks funding for El Paso Welcome Center appeared first on El Paso Matters.","url":"https://elpasomatters.org/2026/06/29/el-paso-mayor-renard-johnson-tie-break-welcome-center-funding-arpa/","source":"El Paso Matters","author":"Elida S.

En total, Fujimori recibió 9.223.396 votos, mientras que Sánchez sumó 9.173.755 sufragios, lo que representa una diferencia de 49.641 votos a favor de la candidata de Fuerza Popular, de acuerdo con el cómputo final de la ONPE.\n\n\nFujimori afirmó que el cierre del escrutinio marca el final de una etapa clave del proceso electoral y expresó expectativa por la proclamación oficial del Jurado Nacional de Elecciones (JNE).\n\n\n“La ONPE ha llegado al 100% de las actas escrutadas. Ya han sido resueltas todas las observaciones por parte de los JEE”, señaló la candidata conservadora en un mensaje en su cuenta de X, en el que pidió además que el proceso avance “con mucha humildad, prudencia y responsabilidad”.\n\n\n“Cada vez estamos más cerca de iniciar un camino de orden y esperanza para todos los peruanos”, añadió.\n\n\nEl equipo de prensa del candidato Roberto Sánchez dijo a CNN que, por el momento, no tenía un pronunciamiento sobre los resultados publicados por la ONPE y la victoria de Fujimori.\n\n\nAntes de que concluyera el escrutinio, el líder izquierdista ya mantenía sus reclamos ante las autoridades electorales y había advertido que no reconocería el resultado, al considerar que la justicia electoral podría estar favoreciendo un “beneficio fraudulento” a su rival si no se atendían sus observaciones.\n\n\nSu campaña sostiene que una resolución de la ONPE posterior a la primera vuelta modificó el procedimiento del conteo del voto en el exterior, lo que —según afirma— habría reducido los estándares de seguridad jurídica del proceso electoral del 7 de junio. El partido, sin embargo, no ha presentado pruebas que respalden esas afirmaciones.\n\n\nEl cierre del escrutinio llega más de veinte días después de la segunda vuelta electoral, que se realizó el 7 de junio. Con ello, se da paso a los procedimientos electorales establecidos por la legislación peruana para la proclamación oficial de los resultados por parte del Jurado Nacional de Elecciones (JNE).\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

We need to start delivering relief to people for the high cost of housing ASAP!!” GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy wrote on X Monday.\n\n\nBut Trump on Monday indicated that he disagreed with elements of the bill, in part because Democrats had supported the measure alongside Republicans.\n\n\n“It’s very bipartisan — that means the Democrats like it,” he said. “They’re getting things that I wouldn’t necessarily agree to.”\n\n\nTrump’s fixation on the voter ID and proof-of-citizenship measure has further crippled an already-dysfunctional Congress, leaving Republicans unable to move on critical elements of their agenda.\n\n\nWednesday’s signing ceremony was only the latest piece of congressional business to be waylaid by the president’s pressure on the elections bill, despite Senate Majority Leader John Thune and other senior Republican lawmakers insisting to the president that there is no path for passage.\n\n\nIn the immediate aftermath, Senate and House Republicans expressed hope that the president would ultimately sign the housing bill, especially as vulnerable GOP members up for reelection planned to campaign on its passage ahead of the November midterms.\n\n\nThe housing bill, the “21st Century Road to Housing Act,” aims to tackle the country’s affordability crisis primarily through encouraging more housing supply. The bill also includes a first-of-its-kind limit on private equity by prohibiting large investors from buying single-family homes.\n\n\nJohnson and Trump had a lengthy meeting Thursday, after which the House speaker said that the pair are “exactly on the same page” and that he would send the housing measure to the White House.\n\n\nJohnson said later Monday that House Republicans will attempt to tie the SAVE America Act to a must-pass bipartisan piece of legislation and send the two bills to the Senate together.\n\n\nThe bipartisan bill, the National Defense Authorization Act, is an annual defense policy package that often makes it through both chambers with Democratic and Republican support. However, tying it the SAVE America Act, which does not have any Democratic backers and even has a few Senate GOP detractors, risks derailing the bill in the upper chamber.\n\n\nThis story and headline have been updated with additional developments.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Two of the games went to penalties and the other was decided with a winner in the final minutes that sent one team into jubilation and the other into heartbreak.\n\n\nHere’s everything you need to know to get caught up on a wild day in the 2026 World Cup:\n\n\nParaguay stuns the Germans on penalties, 1-1 (4-3)\n\n\n\nThe result of the day came in the middle game when Paraguay stunned Germany, bouncing the four-time world champions out of the World Cup on penalty kicks. The match was the first of the Round of 32 games to go to penalty kicks, the ultimate drama in World Cup knockout play. The game ended 1-1 after 120 minutes, with Paraguay advancing 4-3 on penalties.\n\n\nIt’s the first time the Germans have ever lost in the World Cup on penalties.\n\n\nThe match started with Paraguay producing the opening opportunity in the first minute before the Germans came into the game and began dominating proceedings, though not really doing much in the attacking end.\n\n\nThe Paraguayans instead made their only other opportunity of the half count. Julio Enciso’s headed goal from the penalty spot flew past Manuel Neuer into the German net, taking advantage of some shambolic defending that left the Strasbourg midfielder unmarked in the middle of the penalty area.\n\n\nThe Paraguayans took the unexpected lead into halftime with the four-time World Cup winners, who were making their first appearance in the knockout rounds since winning the tournament in 2014.\n\n\nThe Germans dominated the match after the break but struggled to break down Paraguay’s defense as the South Americans once again assumed the compact defending that had flustered Turkey and Australia in the opening group stage.\n\n\nEventually, the equalizer did materialize out of relatively nothing.\n\n\nA Florian Wirtz cross was whipped into the box as many other German passes had been to start the half, but this time Kai Havertz rose above Paraguay’s defense to nod the ball in. It was a slight touch, but it was enough to find the back of the net and even things up at 1-1.\n\n\nAfter the second hydration break, Havertz had another chance with a header in the 78th minute, but it went right at keeper Orlando Gill, who was able to bat it away with both hands. The Germans continued to dominate proceedings, seeking a late winning goal with 30 minutes of extra time looming in the waning sun of the Foxborough, Massachusetts, evening.\n\n\nThe teams traded corner kicks in second-half stoppage time, but neither could muster a true scoring chance, and the game went into the first extra time portion of the tournament, needing another 30 minutes to settle it.\n\n\nThe Germans began putting pressure on Paraguay from the start of the extra period, including a possible penalty when Nick Woltemade’s shot was blocked by Gustavo Gómez, appearing to hit his arm. That moment only resulted in a corner kick, which Germany couldn’t convert.\n\n\nThe deadlock appeared to be broken in the 102nd minute when Jonathan Tah soared above the defense on yet another corner kick, powering his header past Gill to make it 2-1. After Germany celebrated, referee Jalal Jayed signaled for video review after the video assistant referee (VAR) flagged possible foul on Gill as the corner was in the air. Jayed ruled that Waldermar Anton collided with the keeper while the ball was airborne, disallowing the goal.\n\n\nThe match eventually went to penalties, where the pressure showed. Havertz missed the first penalty as Gill made a diving stop. The teams converted their chances in the next three rounds before Woltemade came up and his attempt, low and to the right, was saved by Gil, putting Paraguay on the verge of a win.\n\n\nParaguay’s Antonio Sanabria walked up to the spot with a chance to win the match and sent it far wide of the net, giving Germany hope. Amiri came up next, needing to score to keep his team alive and simply buried it in the bottom right corner.\n\n\nThat put all the pressure on Fabían Balbuena, who came on as a sub at the end of extra time. His shot was saved by a diving Neuer, knotting the PKs at three apiece, giving Germany extra life and dragging the shootout on into sudden death.\n\n\nNext up was Tah, who sent his spot kick flying over the bar, giving Paraguay yet another chance to win the match. José Canale walked up to the spot and buried it to send one of the sport’s blue bloods packing.\n\n\nParaguayans in the stands at Boston Stadium were crying tears of joy as Germans placed their hands on their heads in disbelief.\n\n\nParaguay will play the winner of France and Sweden, who face off at 5 p.m. ET Tuesday in MetLife Stadium outside New York City.\n\n\nMorocco knocks out the Dutch in a dramatic penalty shootout, 1-1 (3-2)\n\n\n\nMorocco fought from a goal down to defeat The Netherlands on penalties in their epic Round of 32 showdown in Monterrey on Monday.\n\n\nMorocco owned the run of play for much of the early proceedings, having their best chances coming through Paris Saint-Germain player Achraf Hakimi, who was dangerous down the right wing. In the first half, Hakimi hit a solid shot that was pushed over the bar by Bart Verbruggen and then had perhaps the best chance of the first 50-ish minutes when he powered a shot past Verbuggen from a tight angle, sending the ball off the bar.\n\n\nThe game was mostly notable for its physicality as referee Wilton Pereira Sampaio allowed both teams to batter each other, with blood flowing and shirts ripping. Morocco held most of the possession and the best chances, with the Dutch only managing one shot on goal in the first hour of the match.\n\n\nStill there were no goals as Morocco let multiple chances go wanting and the Dutch failed to look truly dangerous in the final third.\n\n\nThe first goal came in a true counterattack against the run of play in the 72nd minute as the Dutch broke down field after Verbuggen cleared the ball to Wout Weghorst, who had just entered the game as a substitute. The ball went into the path of Crysencio Summerville, who made a driving run to get onto the header. A tackle from the Moroccan defense brought Summerville down but the ball fell into the path of Cody Gakpo, who finished with aplomb.\n\n\nThe emotions of the moment overwhelmed Gakpo, who immediately broke into tears. Gakpo announced before the game that his wife had suffered a miscarriage during the World Cup. All the Dutch players ran onto the field to celebrate with the Liverpool star, who came away from the pile with tears in his eyes.\n\n\nMorocco pushed for an equalizer as time began to run out and eventually found it just as the match was about to enter injury time. Defender Issa Diop’s header finally beat Verbuggen, coming on a whipped in cross from Chemsdine Talbi, sparking wild celebrations from the Moroccan fans behind the net.\n\n\nThe goal ensured the game ran into extra time, the second match of the day to go to the extra 30 minutes, even though both teams pushed for a winner in the final minutes of regulation.\n\n\nThe extra period started off with Verbuggen making one of the saves of the tournament, as Soufiane Rahimi was in on goal alone. He fired a shot and Verbuggen stretched his right hand and right leg as far as they could go, just getting a hand on the shot and the ball went harmlessly wide.\n\n\nIt was the only major chance of the extra time period as both teams seemed content to settle for penalties.\n\n\nTeun Koopmeiners walked up for the Dutch and buried the first penalty and then Neil El Aynaoui nailed the bar for Morocco, putting the African champions behind. Justin Kluivert then hit the post for The Netherlands, immediately giving away the advantage. Rahimi was next for Morocco, appearing to have his penalty saved by Verbruggen before the Dutch keeper accidentally knocked it back into his own goal to make it 1-1.\n\n\nWeghorst stepped up next and slammed his penalty into the top corner and Chemsdine Talbi answered for Morocco to make it 2-2. Quinten Timber then pulled his penalty wide for the Dutch, handing an opening to the Atlas Lions, but Morocco couldn’t take advantage when Hakimi also hit the post.\n\n\nSummerville stepped up to take the fifth penalty for the Dutch and blasted it right at Morocco keeper Yassine Bounou, who knocked it away with an outstretched hand. That allowed Ismael Saibari to take the penalty that would win the match for Morocco. He put it in the bottom left corner, sending his team through to the Round of 16 and a showdown with Canada on July 4.\n\n\nBrazil defeats Japan in the final minute, 2-1\n\n\n\nBrazil is through to the 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 16 after a last-minute goal broke Japanese hearts in Houston in the first game of the day.\n\n\nIt took until the dying minutes of the game for the five-time world champions to finally pull ahead of the Samurai Blue, using a goal from Gabriel Martinelli to finally push past the Japanese 2-1.\n\n\nThe initial shock of the match came in the 29th minute when Kaishu Sano opened the scoring for Japan, sending a shot from outside the box. The low strike skirted past a diving Alisson, placed perfectly in the bottom left corner just inside the post.\n\n\nIt was the first goal that Brazil had allowed since Morocco scored first against the Seleção in the opening group match of the tournament.\n\n\nThe Japanese took the lead into halftime, and the Brazilians began to turn up the heat on the other side of the break, starting with a 52nd minute header from Bruno Guimarãres that forced a great save from keeper Zion Suzuki. The Japanese defense was in chaos minutes later as a header from Casemiro hit Japanese defender Takehiro Tomiyasu in the face on the goal line, bouncing back to Suzuki and into another goal-line clearance.\n\n\nCasemiro got his goal in the 56th minute off a headed ball off a cross from Gabriel Magalhães, finally getting the Brazilians on the board.\n\n\nVinicius Junior nearly scored the goal of the tournament just two minutes later as he dribbled through the Japanese defense, toe-poking the ball toward the net. Suzuki just got a hand on it, forcing it onto the post.\n\n\nOver the next 30 minutes, the game settled in as Japan defended admirably while Brazil looked for a winner.\n\n\nThe moment finally came in the final minute of the match as a Japan giveaway on the edge of the box was quickly converted by Martinelli. The Arsenal striker took a through ball from Guimarães and fired a shot across goal. Suzuki got a fingertip on the ball but it wasn’t enough as the ball bounced in off the post.\n\n\nBrazil will face the winner of Ivory Coast-Norway in the Round of 16 at 4 p.m. ET on July 5 in MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Ivory Coast and Norway play their Round of 32 match on Tuesday afternoon near Dallas.\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional developments.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

He sought to fire critics within the government despite federal laws that protected them by requiring a president to show cause — such as malfeasance — before booting them from office.\n\n\nMeanwhile, the court dealt Trump a personal defeat, letting stand the verdict against him for sexually abusing and defaming former magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll. By declining to hear Trump’s appeal, the court paved the way for Carroll to collect $5 million in damages.\n\n\nIn a separate ruling, the justices also allowed states to collect and count mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day, a decision that comes as Trump lobbies Congress to limit mail voting and pass a voter ID law.\n\n\nHere are the key takeaways from the court’s major decisions Monday:\n\n\nSplit decision on presidential power\n\n\n\nThe Supreme Court handed down two opinions at the same time on Monday on the firing of government officials – one that was a loss for Trump and the other that was a win.\n\n\nThe more significant decision, decided 6-3 along conservative-liberal lines, centered on Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, whom Trump fired from the Federal Trade Commission last year despite a federal law that requires presidents to show cause — such as malfeasance — before booting commissioners.\n\n\nTrump had argued that, as the head of the executive branch, he should have the power to control the leaders of independent agencies within the federal government and that the law intended to shield those officials from removal violated separation of powers principles.\n\n\nWriting for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts largely agreed.\n\n\n“Subordinates who exercise the president’s power are subject to removal by him,” Roberts wrote. “Then, and only then, can they remain accountable to the president, and the president to the people.”\n\n\nThe second case, dealing with Cook, also touched on the president’s ability to remove an official — but under different circumstances. In that case, Trump attempted to dump Cook based on allegations that she had committed mortgage fraud.\n\n\nThe president announced the firing on social media last year, posting a letter that accused Cook of “deceitful and potentially criminal conduct” because she allegedly claimed two different homes as her primary residence in 2021.\n\n\nCook has denied any wrongdoing and has called the charges “manufactured.”\n\n\nSlaughter, meanwhile, decried the ruling against her and called the major difference between the two issues.\n\n\n“Somehow Wall Street is special and gets special treatment, but other than that, the agencies that look out for everyday Americans do not,” Slaughter said at a news conference Monday.\n\n\nHumphrey’s Executor executed\n\n\n\nThe Supreme Court’s conservative majority could have taken a more limited way out of the Slaughter case. It could have ruled, for instance, that the power of the FTC has grown so vast since it was created in 1914 that it no longer qualified as agency that should be independent from the leader of the executive branch.\n\n\nWhile the court did say those things, it also steered to a broad outcome by overruling a 1935 Supreme Court precedent known as Humphrey’s Executor v. US that allowed Congress to include restrictions on when a president may fire the leaders of certain independent agencies.\n\n\nRoberts’ disdain for Humphrey’s virtually dripped off the page of his opinion.\n\n\n“If anything more is left of Humphrey’s, we overrule it,” Roberts wrote. “Humphrey’s has for decades been a result in search of a rationale.”\n\n\nJustice Sonia Sotomayor, the court’s senior liberal, read an impassioned dissent warning that the decision could lead to “only chaos.”\n\n\nTaking the rare step of reading from the bench — a sign of her strong disagreement – Sotomayor warned the decision would “fundamentally recalibrate the balance of power in the nation.”\n\n\nSotomayor wrote that the decision “undoes centuries of political practice” and would ultimately make the federal government worse.\n\n\nHumphrey’s Executor dates back to President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s tenure. Roosevelt fired an FTC commissioner, William Humphrey, in 1933 who had been appointed by President Herbert Hoover. Humphrey argued that his firing violated the law and his estate sought to recover his salary.\n\n\nThe Supreme Court unanimously agreed at the time that his dismissal was improper.\n\n\nIn the decades since, the precedent has shielded some two dozen independent agencies from presidential interference, including the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Federal Communications Commission and the National Transportation Safety Board, among others. To fire the leaders of those agencies, presidents needed to show cause.\n\n\nNow, they likely will not.\n\n\n“Although it is up to the Senate to decide whether to confirm those with whom the president would prefer to work, neither Congress nor the courts may saddle him with those with whom he cannot work,” Roberts wrote. “Subordinates who exercise the president’s power are subject to removal by him.”\n\n\nTrump v. Cook fight will continue\n\n\n\nThough Cook won her battle in the fight over Trump’s ability to fire her, whether she wins the ultimate war over her job remains an open question – and one that is likely to return to the Supreme Court in the future.\n\n\nThe high court’s decision Monday dealt partly with the technical – yet hugely consequential – question of whether Cook should be allowed to remain on the Federal Reserve Board while she challenges the president’s bid to remove her. But the ruling, delivered in an opinion also penned by Roberts, made clear that there may be a world in which Trump can lawfully fire her.\n\n\nRoberts and the four justices who signed on to his opinion (conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh and liberal Justices Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson) said federal law required Trump to give Cook adequate due process before firing her. The president’s decision to announce her ousting via a curt social media post, Roberts wrote, was insufficient.\n\n\nInstead, the chief said, she “was entitled to some explanation of the evidence at issue, some avenue for a response, and a deadline by which a response would be due.”\n\n\nTrump will now have to provide her with a chance to contest the allegations lodged against her. After that happens, lower courts will be able to scrutinize “the validity and sufficiency of such charges” with the benefit of having a more developed factual record in hand, Roberts wrote.\n\n\nWithout some form of review, the court said, the president would have power to remove Fed leaders “at any time, for any reason, without any notice before, and without any judicial check after. That would turn for-cause protection into little more than at-will employment.”\n\n\nThat means that the case is all but certain to land back at the high court at some point. “The ultimate question of whether the President can remove Cook for cause will depend in part on the underlying facts,” Roberts wrote.\n\n\nFor now, while that review happens, Cook will remain in her job.\n\n\nTrump quickly seized on the “strictly procedural basis” on which the court resolved the case on Monday, writing in a post on Truth Social that his administration “will take appropriate action immediately” to try to keep Cook off the board.\n\n\nUnease over ‘destabilizing’ the economy\n\n\n\nLooming large over Cook’s case were concerns from economists, politicians and others about the possibility of Trump triggering economic ruin if he was allowed to fire members of the Federal Reserve with little to no oversight.\n\n\nKavanaugh, who was put on the bench by Trump, made clear that he shares that anxiety.\n\n\nHe wrote in a concurring opinion that if the court permitted Trump to fire Cook for now, it would leave unanswered the question of whether the nation’s central bank is a truly independent body.\n\n\n“Leaving that question open would create significant uncertainty about whether the Court might soon eliminate the Federal Reserve’s independence, and thereby expose the Federal Reserve to political influences and jeopardize the efficacy of U. S. monetary policy,” Kavanaugh wrote. “Even temporary uncertainty about the status of the Federal Reserve could spark … turmoil in the US and world economies.”\n\n\n“I would not go down that road. I would not risk destabilizing the US economy,” he wrote in part.\n\n\nCook’s attorneys had leaned hard into the potential economic consequences of a win for Trump. It was clear that, in this case at least, the justices were listening.\n\n\nEconomists broadly agree that an independent Fed is essential for a stable US economy. The Federal Reserve addresses times of high inflation and high unemployment by swaying interest rates in either direction based on what economic figures show. A politicized Fed would mean the US central bank isn’t doing what’s in the best interest of the US economy.\n\n\nFellow conservative Justice Clarence Thomas, however, disagreed with Kavanaugh’s premise that the Fed has been a good steward of the US economy.

Trump has repeatedly and falsely equated mail-in balloting and lengthy vote counts with “cheating,” even though he has voted by mail several times.\n\n\nWriting for a 5-4 court, conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett described the dispute as a “narrow” one, focused on the Mississippi law that counts “ballots postmarked by election day, but received up to five days later.”\n\n\n“The election-day statutes say nothing about ballot receipt and we cannot add to the words Congress chose,” Barrett wrote, joined by Roberts and the court’s three liberals.\n\n\n“Election fraud and its appearance are serious issues,” Barrett added. “Like other such issues, however, they must be addressed through the democratic process.”\n\n\nTrump blasted the decision in a social media post, calling it a “tremendous loss.”\n\n\n“NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS (EXCEPT FOR ILLNESS, DISABILITY, MILITARY DEPLOYMENT, OR TRAVEL!),” Trump wrote.\n\n\nTrump punished in the pocketbook\n\n\n\nJust before the Supreme Court began handing down its opinion, it declined to take up Trump’s appeal in the Carroll case.

He sought to fire critics within the government despite federal laws that protected them by requiring a president to show cause — such as malfeasance — before booting them from office.\n\n\nMeanwhile, the court dealt Trump a personal defeat, letting stand the verdict against him for sexually abusing and defaming former magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll. By declining to hear Trump’s appeal, the court paved the way for Carroll to collect $5 million in damages.\n\n\nIn a separate ruling, the justices also allowed states to collect and count mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day, a decision that comes as Trump lobbies Congress to limit mail voting and pass a voter ID law.\n\n\nHere are the key takeaways from the court’s major decisions Monday:\n\n\nSplit decision on presidential power\n\n\n\nThe Supreme Court handed down two opinions at the same time on Monday on the firing of government officials – one that was a loss for Trump and the other that was a win.\n\n\nThe more significant decision, decided 6-3 along conservative-liberal lines, centered on Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, whom Trump fired from the Federal Trade Commission last year despite a federal law that requires presidents to show cause — such as malfeasance — before booting commissioners.\n\n\nTrump had argued that, as the head of the executive branch, he should have the power to control the leaders of independent agencies within the federal government and that the law intended to shield those officials from removal violated separation of powers principles.\n\n\nWriting for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts largely agreed.\n\n\n“Subordinates who exercise the president’s power are subject to removal by him,” Roberts wrote. “Then, and only then, can they remain accountable to the president, and the president to the people.”\n\n\nThe second case, dealing with Cook, also touched on the president’s ability to remove an official — but under different circumstances. In that case, Trump attempted to dump Cook based on allegations that she had committed mortgage fraud.\n\n\nThe president announced the firing on social media last year, posting a letter that accused Cook of “deceitful and potentially criminal conduct” because she allegedly claimed two different homes as her primary residence in 2021.\n\n\nCook has denied any wrongdoing and has called the charges “manufactured.”\n\n\nSlaughter, meanwhile, decried the ruling against her and called the major difference between the two issues.\n\n\n“Somehow Wall Street is special and gets special treatment, but other than that, the agencies that look out for everyday Americans do not,” Slaughter said at a news conference Monday.\n\n\nHumphrey’s Executor executed\n\n\n\nThe Supreme Court’s conservative majority could have taken a more limited way out of the Slaughter case. It could have ruled, for instance, that the power of the FTC has grown so vast since it was created in 1914 that it no longer qualified as agency that should be independent from the leader of the executive branch.\n\n\nWhile the court did say those things, it also steered to a broad outcome by overruling a 1935 Supreme Court precedent known as Humphrey’s Executor v. US that allowed Congress to include restrictions on when a president may fire the leaders of certain independent agencies.\n\n\nRoberts’ disdain for Humphrey’s virtually dripped off the page of his opinion.\n\n\n“If anything more is left of Humphrey’s, we overrule it,” Roberts wrote. “Humphrey’s has for decades been a result in search of a rationale.”\n\n\nJustice Sonia Sotomayor, the court’s senior liberal, read an impassioned dissent warning that the decision could lead to “only chaos.”\n\n\nTaking the rare step of reading from the bench — a sign of her strong disagreement – Sotomayor warned the decision would “fundamentally recalibrate the balance of power in the nation.”\n\n\nSotomayor wrote that the decision “undoes centuries of political practice” and would ultimately make the federal government worse.\n\n\nHumphrey’s Executor dates back to President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s tenure. Roosevelt fired an FTC commissioner, William Humphrey, in 1933 who had been appointed by President Herbert Hoover. Humphrey argued that his firing violated the law and his estate sought to recover his salary.\n\n\nThe Supreme Court unanimously agreed at the time that his dismissal was improper.\n\n\nIn the decades since, the precedent has shielded some two dozen independent agencies from presidential interference, including the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Federal Communications Commission and the National Transportation Safety Board, among others. To fire the leaders of those agencies, presidents needed to show cause.\n\n\nNow, they likely will not.\n\n\n“Although it is up to the Senate to decide whether to confirm those with whom the president would prefer to work, neither Congress nor the courts may saddle him with those with whom he cannot work,” Roberts wrote. “Subordinates who exercise the president’s power are subject to removal by him.”\n\n\nTrump v. Cook fight will continue\n\n\n\nThough Cook won her battle in the fight over Trump’s ability to fire her, whether she wins the ultimate war over her job remains an open question – and one that is likely to return to the Supreme Court in the future.\n\n\nThe high court’s decision Monday dealt partly with the technical – yet hugely consequential – question of whether Cook should be allowed to remain on the Federal Reserve Board while she challenges the president’s bid to remove her. But the ruling, delivered in an opinion also penned by Roberts, made clear that there may be a world in which Trump can lawfully fire her.\n\n\nRoberts and the four justices who signed on to his opinion (conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh and liberal Justices Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson) said federal law required Trump to give Cook adequate due process before firing her. The president’s decision to announce her ousting via a curt social media post, Roberts wrote, was insufficient.\n\n\nInstead, the chief said, she “was entitled to some explanation of the evidence at issue, some avenue for a response, and a deadline by which a response would be due.”\n\n\nTrump will now have to provide her with a chance to contest the allegations lodged against her. After that happens, lower courts will be able to scrutinize “the validity and sufficiency of such charges” with the benefit of having a more developed factual record in hand, Roberts wrote.\n\n\nWithout some form of review, the court said, the president would have power to remove Fed leaders “at any time, for any reason, without any notice before, and without any judicial check after. That would turn for-cause protection into little more than at-will employment.”\n\n\nThat means that the case is all but certain to land back at the high court at some point. “The ultimate question of whether the President can remove Cook for cause will depend in part on the underlying facts,” Roberts wrote.\n\n\nFor now, while that review happens, Cook will remain in her job.\n\n\nTrump quickly seized on the “strictly procedural basis” on which the court resolved the case on Monday, writing in a post on Truth Social that his administration “will take appropriate action immediately” to try to keep Cook off the board.\n\n\nUnease over ‘destabilizing’ the economy\n\n\n\nLooming large over Cook’s case were concerns from economists, politicians and others about the possibility of Trump triggering economic ruin if he was allowed to fire members of the Federal Reserve with little to no oversight.\n\n\nKavanaugh, who was put on the bench by Trump, made clear that he shares that anxiety.\n\n\nHe wrote in a concurring opinion that if the court permitted Trump to fire Cook for now, it would leave unanswered the question of whether the nation’s central bank is a truly independent body.\n\n\n“Leaving that question open would create significant uncertainty about whether the Court might soon eliminate the Federal Reserve’s independence, and thereby expose the Federal Reserve to political influences and jeopardize the efficacy of U. S. monetary policy,” Kavanaugh wrote. “Even temporary uncertainty about the status of the Federal Reserve could spark … turmoil in the US and world economies.”\n\n\n“I would not go down that road. I would not risk destabilizing the US economy,” he wrote in part.\n\n\nCook’s attorneys had leaned hard into the potential economic consequences of a win for Trump. It was clear that, in this case at least, the justices were listening.\n\n\nEconomists broadly agree that an independent Fed is essential for a stable US economy. The Federal Reserve addresses times of high inflation and high unemployment by swaying interest rates in either direction based on what economic figures show. A politicized Fed would mean the US central bank isn’t doing what’s in the best interest of the US economy.\n\n\nFellow conservative Justice Clarence Thomas, however, disagreed with Kavanaugh’s premise that the Fed has been a good steward of the US economy. He wrote in a dissenting opinion that “many do not share the court’s rosy appraisal of the past century.”\n\n\n“But if the court prefers an independent Federal Reserve Board, then its issue is not with the President but with the Constitution,” Thomas wrote.\n\n\nMail-in ballot ruling angers Trump\n\n\n\nIn another high-profile move, the justices upheld state laws that count mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day – which amounted to a repudiations of Trump’s unfounded claims of widespread fraud in mail voting.\n\n\nThe high court rejected Republican arguments that the practice, embraced by more than a dozen states, runs afoul of federal laws setting the November Election Day.

The court divided 6-3, with three of the court’s conservatives dissenting.\n\n\nAt a time when Americans store vast quantities of personal data in servers controlled by companies, the case raised thorny questions about the ability of police to access that information. In the end, the court steered out of the case with a relatively limited decision that will effectively require police to obtain a warrant when they’re requesting location information from a geolocation database.\n\n\n“The Fourth Amendment must, as ever, protect against unjustified governmental intrusion on the privacy of the individual,” Kagan wrote.\n\n\nA Virginia man, Okello Chatrie, appealed to the Supreme Court after police used the procedure to identify him as a suspect in a 2019 bank robbery. After their investigation went cold, police served Google with a geofence warrant to find a handful of people whose cellphones pegged them within 300 meters of the bank at the time of the robbery. Chatrie entered a conditional guilty plea and reserved the right to appeal over the sweeping warrant.\n\n\nThe Supreme Court on Monday didn’t resolve Chatrie’s case. After all, the police in Chatrie’s case did, in fact, obtain a warrant. Instead, the majority concluded only that a warrant was necessary and then charged the lower courts with assessing whether the search police conducted in his case was consistent with the Fourth Amendment.\n\n\nWriting in dissent, Justice Samuel Alito described the court’s opinion as an “irresponsible escapade.”\n\n\n“Although today’s decision will send seismic waves through our Fourth Amendment doctrine, not one iota of the majority opinion will affect the outcome of this case,” Alito wrote. “The court knows this and does not claim otherwise. Indeed, by refusing to review the one question that could have at least theoretically given Chatrie some hope of relief, the court carefully set the stage for its planned performance: striking a pose as a great champion of privacy in the digital age.”\n\n\nThe Fourth Amendment not only requires police to obtain a warrant for searches but demands that the warrant be “particularized,” that is, specific enough that it’s not effectively a fishing expedition for police. Chatrie’s attorneys argued that the warrant was not particularized in part because it required Google to parse through location data for millions of people to identify the small subset that were in the vicinity of the bank at the time of the crime.\n\n\n“The potential for abuse is breathtaking,” Chatrie’s lawyers argued. “The government need only draw a geofence around a church, a political rally, or a gun shop, and it can compel a search of every user’s records to learn who was there.”\n\n\nPolice said Chatrie passed a note urging a bank teller in 2019 to “hand over all the cash” and demanded “at least 100k and nobody will get hurt and your family will be set free.”\n\n\nAfter police identified Chatrie, authorities executed federal search warrants and found “robbery-style demand notes” in his bedroom, nearly $100,000 in cash and a 9 mm pistol. Police say Chatrie confessed to the robbery and was ultimately sentenced to more than 11 years in prison.\n\n\nThe Richmond-based 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against him, holding that the warrant didn’t constitute a “search” for Fourth Amendment purposes. After all, the court reasoned, when people allow tech companies to collect data they generally do so voluntarily. It is an argument that the Justice Department, which is defending the warrants, relied on heavily.\n\n\nChatrie “took no steps to protect his location from disclosure, such as pausing the Location History feature he had enabled or adjusting, deactivating, or forgoing his cellphone during his crime,” US Solicitor General D. John Sauer told the Supreme Court.\n\n\nThe location data at issue in Chatrie’s case can identify a person’s location within three meters every two minutes.\n\n\nBut Chatrie’s attorneys argue that the logic doesn’t apply to his case, in part because of a 2018 Supreme Court precedent. In that case, Carpenter v. US, a divided court ruled that law enforcement generally needs to establish probable cause before accessing cellphone tower data to identify the movements of suspects. If authorities need a warrant to get cellphone tower data, Chatrie’s attorneys said, then surely they also must obtain one to get data that is far more reliable.\n\n\nGoogle, which had received the majority of the warrants, changed its policy to shift how the data is stored.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The bond would be used to upgrade outdated heating and cooling systems and renovate the district’s aging facilities.\n\n\n\nTrustee Jack Loveridge, who is on the ad-hoc committee that designed the process, said the positions are open to anyone who qualifies.\n\n\n\n“We’re looking for people who are committed to public education in El Paso, and have a good sense of what that means for the Franklin and Coronado feeder patterns,” Loveridge said. “Their background or line of work is of less importance to their understanding of the community in which they live.”\n\n\n\nCandidates must be at least 18 years old. They must have resided in Texas for at least 12 months and within the trustee district they plan to serve for at least six months. Employees who work with the district, convicted felons and registered sex offenders are ineligible to serve. \n\n\n\nLoveridge said the process will be similar to the one used to appoint him to the board in 2024.\n\n\n\n“It’s essentially the same process. I think we condensed it by maybe five or six days,” Loveridge said. \n\n\n\nEPISD plans to hold candidate forums Aug. 3-5 at Franklin and Coronado high schools. They will be moderated by their respective student councils and journalism programs.\n\n\n\nDuring the forums, applicants will answer questions submitted by community groups, including parent-teacher association members, district employees, teachers’ unions and neighborhood associations.\n\n\n\nThe board will hold a special board meeting the same week of the forum to interview candidates and make its final decision on the appointments.\n\n\n\nThe appointed trustees will need to run for reelection in May 2027 if they wish to continue serving on the board. Trustees are not paid.\nThe post El Paso ISD outlines appointment process for vacant board seats ahead of up to $450 million bond vote appeared first on El Paso Matters.","url":"https://elpasomatters.org/2026/06/29/el-paso-isd-school-board-trustee-appointment-process/","source":"El Paso Matters","author":"Claudia Lorena Silva","publishDate":"2026-06-29T18:26:20.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi0.wp.com%2Felpasomatters.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2FIMG_0359-scaled-e1782756572275.jpg%3Ffit%3D1024%252C691%26ssl%3D1","slug":"el-paso-isd-outlines-appointment-process-for-vacant-board-seats-ahead-of-up-to-450-million-bond-vote"},{"id":"qs96fp","title":"Local businesses seeing large crowds during World Cup games, boosting economy","excerpt":"var cachebuster = Math.round(new Date().getTime() / 1000);\n        var player = new Playerjs({id:\"player_ebc5233d-6a66-4ea2-8eb0-96e42f802016\", file:\"https://vz-b56b3373-39a.b-cdn.net/ebc5233d-6a66-4ea2-8eb0-96e42f802016/playlist.m3u8\", poster:\"https://vz-b56b3373-39a.b-cdn.net/ebc5233d-6a66-4ea2...","content":"var cachebuster = Math.round(new Date().getTime() / 1000);\n        var player = new Playerjs({id:\"player_ebc5233d-6a66-4ea2-8eb0-96e42f802016\", file:\"https://vz-b56b3373-39a.b-cdn.net/ebc5233d-6a66-4ea2-8eb0-96e42f802016/playlist.m3u8\", poster:\"https://vz-b56b3373-39a.b-cdn.net/ebc5233d-6a66-4ea2-8eb0-96e42f802016/thumbnail_1deb036f.jpg\", label:\"https://vz-b56b3373-39a.b-cdn.net/ebc5233d-6a66-4ea2-8eb0-96e42f802016/playlist.m3u8\" , \n        vast_replace:{\"[wpcategory]\":\"sports\",\"[wprand]\":\"\"+cachebuster+\"\"}});\n        \n        var cachebuster = Math.round(new Date().getTime() / 1000);\n        var player = new Playerjs({id:\"player_67e49089-1fe6-49d3-bd9b-7a1400cc0ace\", file:\"https://vz-b56b3373-39a.b-cdn.net/67e49089-1fe6-49d3-bd9b-7a1400cc0ace/playlist.m3u8\", poster:\"https://vz-b56b3373-39a.b-cdn.net/67e49089-1fe6-49d3-bd9b-7a1400cc0ace/thumbnail_8a65539a.jpg\", label:\"https://vz-b56b3373-39a.b-cdn.net/67e49089-1fe6-49d3-bd9b-7a1400cc0ace/playlist.m3u8\" , \n        vast_replace:{\"[wpcategory]\":\"sports\",\"[wprand]\":\"\"+cachebuster+\"\"}});\nEL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- The FIFA World Cup is entering its fourth week of play, and some local businesses in El Paso have seen large crowds flocking to their establishments to enjoy the matches.\n\n\n\nWhether supporting the U.S., Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Portugal, or another team, the community has responded enthusiastically, packing venues and arriving hours before kickoff to secure a spot.\n\n\n\nABC-7 spoke with The Shack Wings & Brews, the restaurant's general manager, who says they prepare days in advance for matches featuring the U.S. and Mexico teams, as well as other popular squads, because hundreds of people pack the venue.\n\n\n\nJaime Garcia has worked at The Shack for over 16 years; he notes that, in terms of crowd size, the World Cup is in a league of its own compared to typical NFL, NBA, or MLB game days.\n\n\n\nFor him and his team, match days for Mexico and the USA are the most hectic.\n\n\n\n\"We have 25-30 girls working here and it's still not enough; we tried to get the business or get the drinks and the food as quickly as possible for our customers, but they do fill the place and we are grateful for that,\" said Garcia.\n\n\n\nOn a typical day, they usually cook between 600 and 700 pounds of wings, but with the World Cup currently underway, they are preparing more than 2,000 pounds daily.\n\n\n\nBeer consumption has also surged; while they usually sell 12 to 14 kegs a week, that figure rises to 35 to 38 kegs during weeks with major matches.\n\n\n\n\"My staff is actually pretty much amazed by everything that's going on, because we usually get like this, but not this full when we have the NFL games and that's every Sunday and it all depends on what team is playing,\" Garcia added. So far, yes, my staff is getting used to it; most of my staff want to work on those days.\"\n\n\n\nThe Shack advises anyone—whether an individual or a group—planning to watch a game at one of their locations to arrive two to three hours before kickoff to ensure they get a spot.\n\n\n\nYou can view a list of all The Shack locations here.\nThe post Local businesses seeing large crowds during World Cup games, boosting economy appeared first on KVIA.","url":"https://kvia.com/sports/2026/06/29/local-businesses-seeing-large-crowds-during-world-cup-games-boosting-economy/","source":"KVIA ABC-7","author":"Heriberto Perez Lara","publishDate":"2026-06-29T18:24:15.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkvia.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F02%2Fwings.jpg","slug":"local-businesses-seeing-large-crowds-during-world-cup-games-boosting-economy"},{"id":"pis58s","title":"2 dead, 4 others injured after crash on I-10 at Clint","excerpt":"UPDATE: Interstate 10 East at Clint has reopened as of about 5 p.m. after a two-vehicle crash snarled traffic for hours, the Texas Department of Transportation said.

So instead of constitutionalizing election law, they decided that a discretionary power over elections needed to be lodged somewhere. Suffice it to say, that power was not lodged in this Court,\" Barrett wrote.\n\n\n\nThe decision is a loss for the Republican Party, which brought the case, and the Trump administration, which has pushed to override state election rules nationwide by imposing strict federal limits on voting by mail.\n\n\n\nThe president on Monday called the Supreme Court’s decision a \"tremendous loss\" and again called on Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, his signature election and voting reforms legislation.\n\n\n\nSenate Majority Leader John Thune has repeatedly said there aren't enough Republican votes for it to pass.\n\n\n\nThe 29 states that currently accept some timely cast but late-arriving mail-in ballots -- sometimes up to several days after polls have closed -- will be able to continue providing a grace period.\n\n\n\nIn dissent, Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, wrote that the decision flouts the meaning of \"election day\" as set forth in federal law.\n\n\n\n\"Not only is today's decision inconsistent with statutory text, legal context, historical practice, and precedent; it also threatens to produce lamentable consequences,\" Alito wrote. \"The majority's holding spawns a slurry of troubling election-law questions and risks further undermining Americans' confidence in election integrity.\"\n\n\n\nThe outcome is a win for Mississippi, which had defended its policy of accepting ballots up to five days after voting had ended, and voting rights advocates who had argued that decades of legal precedent supported the primary authority of states to run their own elections.  \n\n\n\nVoters heavily reliant on the U.S. Postal Service, such as rural, overseas and disabled voters, had feared a higher risk of having ballots rejected if delivery is delayed, election watchdog groups said.\n\n\n\nLateness is the primary reason mail ballots are rejected nationwide, according to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC).\n\n\n\nDuring the 2024 election, 28 million mail ballots were cast in the 14 states with postmark deadlines and grace periods, according to EAC. Roughly 725,000 were not counted because they were late. \n\n\n\nThe Supreme Court ruling comes as Trump has pushed aggressively to increase federal oversight of mail-in voting. \n\n\n\nA Trump executive order signed in March 2026 would require states to submit approved voter lists to the U.S. Postal Service, which in turn would be tasked with ensuring ballots are only delivered to eligible residents. \n\n\n\nLast week, Federal District Court Judge Indira Talwani of Massachusetts put the order on hold, writing in her decision, \"The Constitution reserves the power to determine voter eligibility to the States alone. Neither the Executive Branch nor Congress may interfere with this power.\"\n\n\n\nThe Postal Service has not yet implemented a proposed policy change to comply with Trump's order, but a top USPS official confirmed to Congress that his agency would refuse to deliver ballots unless states turn over lists of voters. \n\n\n\n\"No law enacted by Congress delegates authority to control mail-in voting to USPS. The voting-related guidance currently issued by USPS is not binding on the States, merely recommended,\" Talwani’s ruling said. \nThe post SCOTUS rebuffs GOP bid to block counting of late-arriving mail ballots appeared first on KVIA.","url":"https://kvia.com/politics/2026/06/29/scotus-rebuffs-gop-bid-to-block-counting-of-late-arriving-mail-ballots/","source":"KVIA ABC-7","author":"ABC News","publishDate":"2026-06-29T17:55:26.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkvia.b-cdn.net%2F2023%2F11%2FMGN_1280x720_30914P00-UNLCU.jpg","slug":"scotus-rebuffs-gop-bid-to-block-counting-of-late-arriving-mail-ballots"},{"id":"r7n08t","title":"Former NM GOP treasurer to remain jailed","excerpt":"EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) - The former treasurer of the New Mexico Republican Party will remain behind bars after a judge denied her request for release Monday, June 29.

Esa situación dificultaba que esta mujer de 71 años realizara las actividades que disfrutaba, como pasear a sus perros y cuidar el jardín.\n\n\nAl no poder costear los medicamentos para perder peso Wegovy o Zepbound —cuyos precios superaban los US$ 1.000 mensuales en aquel entonces—, Abrahamson comenzó a utilizar hace dos años una versión compuesta del fármaco GLP-1 llamado tirzepatida; inicialmente pagaba US$ 400 al mes, aunque el costo ha bajado a US$ 200. Su esposo, Jeff, de 77 años, empezó a usarlo a principios de este año. Ambos han perdido peso y tienen más energía, aunque el gasto mensual supone una carga económica difícil de sobrellevar.\n\n\nLa pareja, que vive de los beneficios del Seguro Social, sus ahorros y una pequeña pensión, pronto podría obtener Zepbound por US$ 50 mensuales cada uno a través del programa piloto de Medicare. Este importante descuento les permitiría comprar un nuevo tractor cortacésped, mejorar su sistema de agua potable o realizar el viaje de sus sueños a Belice, donde Abrahamson ya ha elegido un complejo turístico.\n\n\n“Con esta pérdida de peso, me siento 10 años más joven”, afirmó Abrahamson, quien ya no sufre de apnea del sueño ni de otras dolencias desde que comenzó a tomar el medicamento compuesto GLP-1. “Me cambió la vida para mejor. No quiero dejar de tomarlo”.\n\n\nLos Abrahamson esperan estar entre los millones de adultos mayores que podrán acceder a medicamentos para perder peso a través de Medicare por primera vez en la historia del programa. El 1 de julio se lanza este programa piloto temporal, denominado “Medicare GLP-1 Bridge”.\n\n\nLa ley prohíbe a Medicare cubrir medicamentos para la pérdida de peso; sin embargo, los Centros de Servicios de Medicare y Medicaid (CMS) tienen autorización para llevar a cabo proyectos piloto de corta duración con el fin de probar nuevos modelos de pago y cobertura. La iniciativa Bridge forma parte de un acuerdo anunciado en noviembre por la administración Trump con las farmacéuticas Eli Lilly y Novo Nordisk para reducir el costo de sus medicamentos contra la obesidad, que gozan de gran éxito comercial.\n\n\nMédicos y defensores de los pacientes llevan años reclamando que se amplíe la cobertura de Medicare para incluir medicamentos destinados a la pérdida de peso, argumentando que la obesidad debe tratarse como cualquier otra enfermedad. El costo de adquirir medicamentos GLP-1 sin seguro puede ascender a cientos de dólares.\n\n\nLa Dra. Catherine Varney, directora de medicina de la obesidad en la Universidad de Virginia, atiende a unos 100 pacientes de Medicare que probablemente reúnan los requisitos para el programa Bridge. Ninguno de ellos puede permitirse pagar de su propio bolsillo los medicamentos para perder peso, señaló. Varios le han expresado su alivio ante la posibilidad de obtener finalmente estos fármacos a un precio razonable.\n\n\n“La mayoría de estos pacientes a los que quería recetar esta medicación son bombas de relojería”, afirmó Varney, quien también forma parte de la junta directiva de la Obesity Medicine Association (Asociación de Medicina de la Obesidad). “Padecen prediabetes, hipertensión arterial, colesterol alto; todos ellos factores de riesgo cardíaco que conducen a infartos y accidentes cerebrovasculares”.\n\n\nPara muchos afiliados, este programa piloto representa algo más que la oportunidad de conseguir medicamentos para perder peso con descuento, señaló Patty Nece, expresidenta de la Obesity Action Coalition (Coalición de Acción contra la Obesidad), una organización de defensa de los pacientes que cuenta con cerca de 100.000 miembros en Estados Unidos.\n\n\n“En gran medida, se trata de reconocer que su enfermedad debe tratarse como cualquier otra y que, esencialmente, deben contar con cobertura para los medicamentos sin tener que pagar copagos desorbitados”, declaró Nece a la CNN.\n\n\nEsto es lo que sabemos sobre el programa Bridge.\n\n\nSolo ciertos afiliados a Medicare son elegibles. No solo deben estar inscritos en un plan de cobertura de medicamentos de la Parte D, sino que también deben cumplir con criterios de salud específicos vigentes cuando comenzaron a tomar medicamentos GLP-1, incluso si esto ocurrió antes del lanzamiento del programa Bridge.\n\n\nCalifican aquellas personas con un índice de masa corporal (IMC) de 35 o más. Quienes tienen un IMC de entre 30 y 35 también deben presentar una de las siguientes condiciones: presión arterial alta no controlada, prediabetes, antecedentes de ataque cardíaco o accidente cerebrovascular, obstrucción sintomática de las arterias en brazos o piernas, enfermedad renal crónica en etapa tres o superior, o insuficiencia cardíaca diastólica.\n\n\nAquellos con un IMC de entre 27 y 30 también deben padecer prediabetes, tener antecedentes de ataque cardíaco o accidente cerebrovascular, o presentar obstrucción sintomática de las arterias en brazos o piernas.\n\n\nNo son elegibles los afiliados que ya reciben medicamentos GLP-1 a través de su plan de medicamentos de la Parte D de Medicare, ni aquellos que padecen diabetes tipo 2, apnea del sueño de moderada a grave o enfermedad del hígado graso (condiciones que podrían hacerlos elegibles para recibir cobertura a través de la Parte D).\n\n\nQuienes reúnan los requisitos deben solicitar a sus médicos que envíen una receta a la farmacia y, posteriormente, completar un formulario de autorización previa.\n\n\nMuchos afiliados a Medicare no están seguros de si cumplen los requisitos para el programa. Deb Cooperman, de 65 años, reside en el oeste de Nueva Jersey y lleva poco más de un año pagando US$ 450 mensuales por Zepbound. No sabe con certeza si cumplirá con el requisito del IMC; todo depende de la estatura que registre su médico, ya que ella afirma haber perdido unos 2,5 centímetros de altura desde que comenzó a asistir a esa consulta hace una década.\n\n\nAhorrar US$ 400 al mes sería muy significativo, dado que ella y su esposo se preparan para jubilarse de sus respectivas profesiones: coordinadora de talleres de escritura creativa y psicólogo. Destinar fondos para Zepbound —medicamento que le ha permitido perder el 30 % de su peso corporal, además de brindarle más energía y reducir sus dolores— es una prioridad absoluta, aunque ello implique recortar gastos en otras actividades que disfruta.\n\n\n“¿Qué prefiero: ir a ver una obra de teatro o contar con este medicamento que ha regulado algo que me atormentaba desde la adolescencia?”, comentó Cooperman. “Quiero tomar el medicamento. Puedo prescindir de la obra de teatro”. Algunos afiliados a Medicare están decepcionados por no cumplir con los criterios y no poder acceder al precio reducido.\n\n\nDiane Lane-Cormier es una de ellas. Cuando se enteró por primera vez del programa Bridge, se mostró muy entusiasmada.\n\n\n“Tal vez por fin pueda acceder a algo que sea asequible y sostenible”, dijo a CNN Lane-Cormier, de 68 años.\n\n\nSin embargo, esa alegría se tornó en frustración al saber que probablemente no calificaría, ya que el año pasado le recetaron Zepbound para la apnea del sueño, aunque nunca llegó a surtir la receta porque el costo mensual de US$ 300 era excesivo para ella.\n\n\nLane-Cormier, quien ha perdido unos 5 kilos en los últimos dos años mediante dieta y ejercicio, quisiera perder 15 kilos más; según afirma, esto le ayudaría a sobrellevar el dolor, la inflamación y otras dolencias, además de mejorar su calidad de vida.\n\n\n“Simplemente tengo que seguir esforzándome por perder peso por mi cuenta”, comentó la enfermera jubilada, residente en Piedmont, Carolina del Sur.\n\n\nEl programa piloto cubre las tabletas e inyecciones de Wegovy, los dispositivos KwikPen de Zepbound y las tabletas de Foundayo. No cubre los viales ni los dispositivos de dosis única de Zepbound.\n\n\nTanto Novo Nordisk (fabricante de Wegovy) como Eli Lilly (fabricante de Zepbound y Foundayo) aseguran contar con suficiente suministro para satisfacer la nueva demanda.\n\n\nNovo Nordisk destaca los beneficios generales de Wegovy para la salud, incluida la reducción del riesgo de problemas cardiovasculares, como infartos y accidentes cerebrovasculares.\n\n\n“Las personas mayores deberían sentirse muy motivadas para obtener el beneficio de una pérdida de peso inmediata a corto plazo, sin tener que sacrificar resultados a largo plazo en cuanto a salud cardiovascular”, señaló Jamey Millar, vicepresidente ejecutivo de operaciones en EE.UU. de la compañía.\n\n\nLos medicamentos pueden adquirirse en farmacias. Los afiliados elegibles interesados ​​en Zepbound y Foundayo también pueden acudir a LillyDirect Pharmacy, el sitio web de venta directa al consumidor del fabricante.\n\n\n“Para muchos, esta será la primera vez que tengan un tratamiento contra la obesidad al alcance de la mano”, afirmó en un comunicado Ilya Yuffa, presidente de Lilly USA y de Capacidades Globales para el Cliente.\n\n\nLos afiliados elegibles pagarán US$ 50 por el suministro de un mes. Sin embargo, dicho copago no se contabiliza para el deducible anual ni para el límite máximo de gastos de bolsillo.\n\n\nSe trata de un descuento considerable en comparación con los precios de venta al público (pago directo) de estos fármacos, que oscilan entre US$ 149 y US$ 449 mensuales, según el medicamento y la dosis. No obstante, incluso US$ 50 al mes pueden resultar excesivos para algunas personas mayores con ingresos fijos, señaló Juliette Cubanski, directora del Programa de Políticas de Medicare de KFF, una organización de investigación sobre políticas de salud.\n\n\nAquellas personas con ingresos limitados que reúnan los requisitos para el programa “Extra Help” (Ayuda Adicional) de Medicare deberán abonar igualmente la cuota de US$ 50.\n\n\nAsimismo, los beneficiarios que ya reciben fármacos GLP-1 para la diabetes u otras afecciones autorizadas a través de sus planes de la Parte D no pueden participar en el programa “Bridge”.\n\n\nEs una gran incógnita. Los CMS (Centros de Servicios de Medicare y Medicaid) no han revelado ni sus proyecciones de costos ni sus estimaciones de inscripción.\n\n\nSin embargo, un alto funcionario de los CMS declaró la semana pasada que prevé que el número inicial de beneficiarios de Medicare participantes se sitúe en el rango de los millones de un solo dígito.\n\n\n“Pero veremos cómo evoluciona la escala con el tiempo”, afirmó Chris Klomp, director de Medicare de los CMS —nominado para el cargo de subsecretario del Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos de EE. UU.— durante un acto en el Aspen Institute.\n\n\nEn cuanto al impacto financiero para Medicare, Klomp indicó que los CMS consideran que la iniciativa tendrá un costo neutro en un plazo de 24 meses. Según Klomp, si se tiene en cuenta la reducción del costo total de la atención sanitaria derivada de una mejor salud de los beneficiarios, el suministro de fármacos para la pérdida de peso supondrá “un ahorro de costos significativo”.\n\n\nEn virtud del acuerdo alcanzado durante la administración Trump, Eli Lilly y Novo Nordisk venderán los medicamentos a Medicare por US$ 245 el suministro mensual.\n\n\nDiversas estimaciones previas sobre cuántos afiliados a Medicare podrían considerarse con sobrepeso u obesidad, y cuánto costaría ampliar la cobertura a los fármacos para perder peso, no tienen en cuenta los requisitos de elegibilidad del programa “Bridge”.\n\n\nCerca de 14 millones de beneficiarios fueron diagnosticados con sobrepeso u obesidad en 2020, según un análisis de KFF.\n\n\nPor otro lado, la Oficina de Presupuesto del Congreso había estimado anteriormente que 12,5 millones de afiliados cumplirían los requisitos en 2026 si se autorizara a Medicare a cubrir medicamentos contra la obesidad. Sin embargo, se preveía que solo 300.000 personas empezarían a utilizar los medicamentos ese año, aunque esa cifra aumentaría a 1,6 millones en 2034.\n\n\nLa ampliación de la cobertura costaría al Gobierno federal US$ 35.000 millones entre 2026 y 2034, según las proyecciones de la Oficina de Presupuesto del Congreso (CBO, por sus siglas en inglés). No obstante, el ahorro total derivado de la mejora en la salud de los afiliados sería reducido, señaló la entidad.\n\n\nUna propuesta de la administración Biden para permitir el acceso a través de Medicare estimaba que 3,4 millones de afiliados a este programa obtendrían acceso, con un costo total de US$ 25.000 millones a lo largo de una década.\n\n\nLos médicos entrevistados por CNN afirmaron esperar que una parte considerable de sus pacientes elegibles de Medicare intenten unirse al programa Bridge.\n\n\n“El cambio más importante es que la conversación pasa de ‘no puedo permitirme el tratamiento’ a ‘hablemos de qué tratamiento es el adecuado para usted’”, declaró la Dra. Katherine Saunders, miembro voluntario del cuerpo docente de Weill Cornell Medicine y cofundadora de FlyteHealth, una organización centrada en el tratamiento de la obesidad.\n\n\nSin embargo, señaló que muchos pacientes siguen confundidos y preocupados por los requisitos de elegibilidad y el costo, así como por si la cobertura continuará una vez que finalice el programa Bridge a finales del próximo año y si podrán acceder a profesionales sanitarios para recibir atención y seguimiento continuos.\n\n\nEl Dr. Jorge Moreno, especialista en obesidad de Yale Medicine, ya está recibiendo mensajes de sus pacientes preguntando por el programa Bridge, incluidos algunos a quienes se les había denegado la cobertura anteriormente.\n\n\nSe les está indicando que reserven citas de telemedicina a partir del 1 de julio para hablar sobre el programa, aunque Moreno advierte que podría pasar algún tiempo antes de que tengan los medicamentos en sus manos.\n\n\n“A medida que el programa se ponga en marcha, haremos llegar los medicamentos a los pacientes en cuanto podamos”, afirmó, señalando que su agenda ya está “bastante completa”.\n\n\nEl programa Bridge estará vigente hasta finales de 2027. Originalmente se diseñó como una iniciativa de seis meses, tras los cuales las aseguradoras de Medicare Parte D comenzarían a ofrecer cobertura bajo un programa piloto denominado modelo “Balance” a principios del próximo año.\n\n\nSin embargo, la participación de las aseguradoras en el modelo Balance es voluntaria. No se inscribieron suficientes planes de la Parte D, lo que llevó a los Centros de Servicios de Medicare y Medicaid (CMS) a ampliar la duración del programa Bridge a 18 meses. La agencia está recopilando datos para un posible lanzamiento futuro del programa Balance.\n\n\nLas aseguradoras se mostraban reticentes a participar porque no tenían una idea clara de cuánto les costaría cubrir los medicamentos para la pérdida de peso destinados a los beneficiarios de Medicare elegibles, señaló Cubanski. Es posible que no hubieran podido asumir el gasto adicional sin tener que aumentar las primas para todos los asegurados.\n\n\nNo está claro si las aseguradoras querrán adherirse al modelo Balance para 2028, incluso después de comprobar el nivel de demanda que genera el programa Bridge, afirmó Brian Reid, director de Reid Strategic, una consultora especializada en temas farmacéuticos.\n\n\n“Será necesario ofrecer un gran incentivo o aplicar una medida coercitiva contundente para lograr que las aseguradoras participen”, afirmó Reid.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Kennedy International Airport, the same day a helicopter said it almost hit a model airplane nearby, the Federal Aviation Administration said.\n\n\nThe pilot aboard JetBlue Flight 948 reported the strike at approximately 3,000 feet in altitude while on final approach to the runway around 7:15 a.m. local time on Monday, the FAA told CNN in a statement.\n\n\n“We are clear to land, 13 left,” the pilot told the tower in audio recorded by ATC.com. “Just quickly, I couldn’t talk to approach, but we collided with a drone back there in the turn.”\n\n\n“You said you collided?” the controller asked.\n\n\nThe pilot confirmed, “Yep, it hit us right, right above the cockpit.”\n\n\nThe Airbus A321 was arriving from Las Vegas and safely landed minutes later at 7:21 a.m.\n\n\nThe aircraft was just north of the beach community of Sea Bright, roughly 10 to 12 miles away from JFK, at the time of the suspected strike, according to data from Flightradar24.\n\n\nIn a statement, JetBlue confirmed the flight landed without further incident.\n\n\n“Customers deplaned normally and the plane was removed from service for a post-flight inspection, which found no damage or evidence of a collision,” the airline said. “Safety is JetBlue’s first priority, and we will assist with any relevant investigations.”\n\n\nThe FAA is investigating the incident.\n\n\nIf confirmed, it could be one of the first known collisions between a drone and a US commercial passenger plane.\n\n\nLater Monday, the pilot of a helicopter flying from JFK to Manhattan reported another close call – this time with a model airplane. The FAA tells CNN that the two incidents are not related.\n\n\n“Almost ran into a giant RC airplane over at Floyd Bennett,” the pilot of the Bell 407 helicopter told the tower at JFK, according to a recording by ATC.com. “It was just like an RC, one of the remote-controlled airplanes. A big one at 500 feet.”\n\n\nFloyd Bennett Field is a retired naval air station in Brooklyn that now is largely operated by the National Park Service and includes a runway for model airplane hobbyists. \n\n\nFlight tracking data shows the helicopter was at about 300 feet in the air when traversing the area.\n\n\nThe FAA alerted local authorities about the report, the agency said in a statement.\n\n\nDrones have, however, hit other aircraft. In January 2025, a civilian drone struck a CL-415 “Super Scooper” battling the Los Angeles wildfires, punching a hole in the wing, forcing the aircraft out of service and leading federal authorities to prosecute the drone operator.\n\n\nSome other suspected strikes have turned out to be damage from birds or mechanical problems.\n\n\nDrones are prohibited from flying around airports, however, the FAA receives about 100 reports of sightings a month.\n\n\nLast week, a United Airlines pilot reported nearly colliding with one as his plane was coming in to land at Newark Liberty International Airport.\n\n\nUnauthorized operators are subject to stiff fines and criminal charges, including possible jail time, the FAA said.\n\n\nDrone flights are also often limited around emergency response operations, jails, wildfires and major gatherings, including the current World Cup games.\n\n\nLaw enforcement has seized 500 drones that were in restricted airspace in the tournaments 11 host cities, the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced Monday.\n\n\nCNN’s Amanda Jackson contributed to this report. \n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Scott Wiener, a prominent gay Democrat who has spearheaded pro-transgender rights legislation, was surrounded and berated by protesters at San Francisco’s annual Trans March on Friday as they accused him of supporting genocide in Gaza.\n\n\nA video widely shared on social media shows Wiener, who is Jewish, walking through Dolores Park as a person films and follows him, along with several other protesters berating Wiener over his position on Gaza.\n\n\n“It breaks my heart that someone who wrote good legislation for queers is so f**king terrible on Gaza,” one protester says in the video.\n\n\nWiener does not engage with the group as he tries to exit the park. Some protesters flash their middle fingers and, at one point, accuse him of being “genocidal” and having “Zionist handlers.”\n\n\n“Scott, do you have anything to say? How could you do this to San Francisco?” the person taking the video says while continuing to follow Wiener. “You do not belong here anymore, Scott. I want to support someone who’s so positive on trans rights, but you’re a piece of sh*t on Gaza.”\n\n\nWiener, a candidate in the race to replace retiring Rep. Nancy Pelosi in the US House, issued a statement Saturday, saying he had been on his way to participate in a trans-led Pride Shabbat service connected to the march.\n\n\nHe said the protesters touched him multiple times and that he ultimately decided to leave the park, believing he and his staff could be in danger.\n\n\n“They were so physically and verbally aggressive that it was impossible for me to safely remain in the park,” Wiener said in the statement.\n\n\nIt was the first time he did not participate in the march since it began in 2004, Wiener said.\n\n\nWiener said the incident at Dolores Park followed another confrontation two days earlier, when a man accosted him and his staff at a Mission District bar where he was watching a World Cup game.\n\n\n“He screamed abuse at me and our staff before being ejected by the bar’s employees,” Wiener said in the statement, adding that the man remained outside the bar, shouting his name and pounding on the wall for several minutes. Wiener said the same individual had stalked him on a plane and in an airport in December 2023.\n\n\n“I have no objection whatsoever to anyone disagreeing with me, opposing me, or protesting me. All of that is core to democracy,” Wiener said. “But when opposition and disagreement transition to harassment, including cornering me, touching me, or trying to physically bully me out of a public event, that crosses a line.”\n\n\nWiener told CNN on Monday he believed he had been singled out at the march because he is Jewish, saying protesters made references to him having “Israeli handlers.”\n\n\n“There were elected officials in that march who have not taken the positions that I’ve taken, and they were left alone. It was only me who was targeted,” Wiener said. “So, was it antisemitic? Absolutely. And it’s really tragic.”\n\n\nWiener said he had not heard from Pelosi or from his primary opponent, San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan, who has Pelosi’s endorsement. He said he had instead heard from “hundreds and hundreds” of San Francisco residents, including members of the trans community, who he said were “horrified” by the incident.\n\n\n“Most of the people at the trans march are not like that. They are welcoming, wonderful people, and this gave a black eye to the trans march,” he said.\n\n\nWiener has become a prominent figure in the pitched debates over transgender rights and US policy toward Israel.\n\n\nWiener has said he supports Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state and affirmed its right to protect itself after the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks. He has also been critical of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government and has called for a two-state solution.\n\n\nAs he campaigns for Congress, Wiener has taken positions that have drawn criticism from supporters of Israel, including opposing US military aid to Israel until its government demonstrates a commitment to peace, and describing Israel’s military action in Gaza as a genocide, a position featured on his campaign website.\n\n\nDuring a January debate, Wiener declined to describe Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide. Days later, he said he had hesitated to use the term because of its significance for many Jewish people but had concluded that Israel’s military campaign in Gaza amounted to genocide.\n\n\nIn the CNN interview, Wiener pushed back on the suggestion that his shifting stance on Gaza had been driven by political pressure, saying he had been a critic of the Israeli government for years.\n\n\n“I began opposing it in October of 2023, and I supported a ceasefire in November of 2023,” he said. “So I’ve been opposed to Israel’s escalations in Gaza for a long time.”\n\n\nExplaining his decision to call the war a genocide, Wiener said in an Instagram post: “We all have eyes and we see the absolute devastation and catastrophic death toll in Gaza inflicted by the Israeli government, and we all have ears and we hear the genocidal statements by certain senior members of the Israeli government.”\n\n\n“To me, the Israeli government has tried to destroy Gaza and to push Palestinians out, and that qualifies as a genocide,” he said.\n\n\nThe Israeli government has strenuously denied that its military campaign in Gaza constitutes genocide, calling such accusations baseless and pointing to its stated efforts to evacuate civilians and target Hamas militants. A growing number of international bodies and human rights organizations, however, have concluded that Israel’s actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Instead, he was arrested and transferred to ICE custody despite having a pending asylum case that allowed him to remain and work in the country while awaiting his immigration hearing. He spent about 50 days in ICE detention before being deported in September.\n\n\n\n“Alias Ceviche: Un Periodista Peruano. 7 Cárceles del ICE,” by Ricardo Quintana Chávez\n\n\n\nNow, eight months later, Quintana has self-published a book, “Alias Ceviche: Un Periodista Peruano. 7 Cárceles del ICE,” documenting his experiences being held at county and ICE  detention facilities after his arrest. The 172-page paperback and a Kindle edition were released in May.\n\n\n\n“This is not a story of hate. It is not a political manifesto. There might be moments in which this reads like a grievance and I won’t apologize for that,” the epilogue reads.\n\n\n\n“Pero no es el propósito. Es simplemente lo que vi, lo que sentí, lo que aprendí en esas semanas que cambiaron mi vida para siempre,” he writes. “That is not its purpose. It’s simply what I saw, what I felt and what I learned in those weeks that changed my life forever.”\n\n\n\nIn an emailed statement, the Department of Homeland Security said a pending asylum case or work authorization does not confer any type of legal status in the United States. “If a person enters our country illegally, they are subject to detention or deportation. Each illegal alien receives due process,” the statement reads.\n\n\n\nQuintana is among the estimated 400,000 immigrants who have been booked into immigration detention from an interior arrest – and not at the border – since President Donald Trump took office for a second term in January 2025, according to the Brookings Institute.\n\n\n\nThe DHS in January claimed more than 600,000 people had been deported in 2025, including those turned back at the border by Customs and Border Protection, though tracking organizations put ICE deportations closer to 350,000 without counting the turnbacks. An ICE flight monitor under the organization Human Rights First reports at least 3,300 deportation flights from January 2025 to May of this year, though passenger counts per flight are not publicly available.\n\n\n\n\n\nCamp East Montana, the largest Immigrations and Customs Enforcement detention center, sits on Fort Bliss land in El Paso, Texas.

(AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell)\n\n\n\n\n\nThe widely criticized mass detention efforts have led to a multitude of accusations of human rights and federal detention practice violations, including at Camp East Montana. \n\n\n\nWhile additional mass detention centers were slated to open under former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, including in El Paso, acting ICE Director David Venturella recently indicated the planned industrial warehouse park in the city of Socorro slated to hold 8,500 detainees will be scaled down and instead include a training center, U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-El Paso, said.\n\n\n\nAnd just about a year after opening, Alligator Alcatraz — an immigration detention facility inside the Big Cypress National Preserve in Ochopee, Florida — completed transferring all its detainees to other facilities this month, with the Department of Homeland Security citing hurricane concerns. DHS hasn’t disclosed how many people were moved or where they were moved to, and didn’t say whether the Everglades facility will be permanently closed.\n\n\n\nFrom Quintana’s point of view, the mass detention centers should have never opened so quickly and on such a large scale – or at all. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn his book, Quintana recounts seeing guards insult and assault detainees and detainees fight for scraps of food – often ham sandwiches for breakfast, lunch and dinner. He describes the smell of toilets overflowing without immediate cleanup – two to three toilets with no dividers per cell for 70 or more detainees. He recalls hearing detainees cry of anger, of fear, of pain.\n\n\n\nHe recounts being shackled to the floor at Alligator Alcatraz. He describes the detention centers being overtly cold, with the lights turned on at all hours. He describes poor medical care detainees received – if any at all – citing as an exception a healthcare provider who showed some compassion toward him and other detainees.\n\n\n\nDHS in a statement regularly issued to media in response to such allegations said all detainees are provided with three meals a day, clean water, clothing, bedding, showers, soap and toiletries and that certified dieticians evaluate meals. The agency said it provides “comprehensive medical care” to detainees, and that for many, “this is the best healthcare they have received their entire lives.”\n\n\n\nIn his book, Quintana, who was nicknamed Ceviche while in ICE custody, also recounts stories of his fellow detainees. He writes about them under their aliases, not always recalling their real names or at times protecting their identities, he said.\n\n\n\nThere was Bacteria, a 40-something plumber from Cuba who was often breakdancing to entertain others, and Chispita, a 20-something Venezuelan who openly talked about being gay until a newly arrived Jamaican detainee threatened him. They were eventually sent to different cells.\n\n\n\nRicardo Quintana Chávez, center, presents his self-published book about his time in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention during a press conference at the city of Callao, Peru, May 2026. (Courtesy  Ricardo Quintana Chávez)\n\n\n\nThere was Chiquitito, a young Honduran who resembled actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson – only a lot shorter. Quintana overheard Chiquitito talk to his father on a video call. He asked his father for forgiveness for some unknown wrong he had committed against the family back home. The father responded, “never,” Quintana writes. \n\n\n\nAnd then there was Luis Frio, a Venezuelan mechanic and influencer well-known for his “how to” social media videos. While detained in Alligator Alcatraz, Frio became severely ill and was hospitalized. It was rumored he had died. But Frio had been transferred to Camp East Montana and was eventually deported. He’s continued gaining followers on his social media platforms.\n\n\n\nDetainees passed the time reading and playing cards, some did wall pushups or situps on their bunks. But mostly, they paced and they slept. And they prayed to go home, Quintana writes.\n\n\n\n“La gente no quería quedarse más en los Estados Unidos. Quería su esquina, la señora de la tienda, la comida de su mamá,” a passage from his book reads. “Y el sistema los tenía ahí, sin decirles ni cuándo ni por qué, destruyéndolos de a pocos con esa luz artificial y ese frío programado.”\n\n\n\n“The people no longer wanted to remain in the United States. They wanted their corner, the lady at the store, their mother’s cooking. And the system kept them there, without telling them when or why, slowly destroying them with that artificial light and that programmed cold.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuintana first came to the United States on a visitor visa for a few weeks in 2019 to spend time with his daughters, who had emigrated years prior. He came back to Florida in 2021 on a visitor’s visa. While there, he said, he received death threats at his Peru home for his coverage and criticism of the controversial Peruvian presidential elections that were replete with corruption scandals. He sought asylum.\n\n\n\nHe said it was never his intention to remain in the United States, but he feared going home under the volatile political climate. He had authorization to work while his asylum case was heard, so he picked up a job as a dishwasher. Eventually he landed some freelance work for Spanish-language media outlets and marketing companies. \n\n\n\nFinding that there was an interest in Peruvian food in Florida, he sold homemade ceviche and papas rellenas to make a little extra money. \n\n\n\n“No vendía un plato, vendía peruanidad. Cada taper era un embajador con limón, ají y a culantro,” he writes. “I wasn’t selling food, I was selling Peruvianness. Every container was an ambassador with lime, chile pepper and cilantro.”\n\n\n\nWhen he was detained by Miami Beach police, he was transferred to ICE custody and detained in a federal processing center in Miami Dade County. He was later transferred to the Everglades Detention Facility, also known as Alligator Alcatraz, then to an ICE tent facility in Northeast El Paso before ending up in the East Montana Detention Facility known as Camp East Montana.\n\n\n\nWhen he finally agreed to an “exit bonus,” a monetary incentive to give up their cases and agree to be deported, he was sent to the Port Isabel Service Processing Center in South Texas near Harlingen. Shackled at the wrists, waist and feet, he was bused to the Harlingen airport and flown to Peru.\n\n\n\nBack home, he said the federal government paid him the promised $1,000 via Western Union, buying himself basic necessities and saving the rest. With some savings and money he had sent home, he published his memoir.\n\n\n\n“It was difficult writing this book. I had lots of emotions. I felt shame, embarrassment, anger and humiliation,” Quintana told El Paso Matters. “As soon as I was out, I began to write. I cried a lot. I still do when I re-read some passages.”\n\n\n\n“I’m still getting my life back together,” said Quintana, who has started a news podcast in Callao. “I think with this book I was able to release, to talk about, a lot of what I’ve been holding back and I think what a lot of people like me are going through at this time.”\n\n\n\n\nThe post ‘How can I forget?’ Deported Peruvian journalist pens book on ICE detention at Alligator Alcatraz, Camp East Montana appeared first on El Paso Matters.","url":"https://elpasomatters.org/2026/06/29/ice-detention-camp-east-montana-alligator-alcatraz-deported-journalist-book/","source":"El Paso Matters","author":"Cindy Ramirez","publishDate":"2026-06-29T13:00:00.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi0.wp.com%2Felpasomatters.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2FIMG-20260604-WA0025-e1780956343158.jpg%3Ffit%3D1024%252C762%26ssl%3D1","slug":"how-can-i-forget-deported-peruvian-journalist-pens-book-on-ice-detention-at-alligator-alcatraz-camp-"},{"id":"vsxdep","title":"Unease about Talarico’s Black support on display at Texas Democratic Convention","excerpt":"CORPUS CHRISTI — Black Democrats caucusing at the Texas Democratic Party convention Friday cheered when state Rep.

Allotment depends on income and number of eligible people in a household. A household of four can receive a maximum of $994 per month.\n\n\n\nRuby Ramirez, a single mother working as a restaurant server in El Paso, said her allotment has decreased by hundreds of dollars in recent months despite her income remaining largely the same. She doesn’t know why. In June, Ramirez received a little more than $100 in food stamps – the least she has ever received for the month. She used to receive more than $300 per month to feed her and her two sons.\n\n\n\n“I have growing boys that are out for the summer and it’s difficult. They want to eat all day,” Ramirez said. “It’s a lot of help, even $100 I’m grateful for, but it’s so little compared to before.”\n\n\n\n“Everything is so expensive, you can barely get by even with food stamps,” she said. “You have to work more because they don’t give you enough food stamps, but then you work more and they don’t give you food stamps. I don’t understand.”\n\n\n\nWork requirements expand for seniors, vulnerable groups\n\n\n\nIn February 2026, the work requirements for able-bodied adults expanded, raising the cutoff age from 55 to 65. Parents of children 14 and older are required to work when previously, parents of children 18 and younger were exempt. Exemptions were also eliminated for veterans, people experiencing homelessness and young adults aging out of foster care.\n\n\n\nTo meet the requirement, residents must work or participate in an approved job training program for at least 20 hours a week to maintain benefits.\n\n\n\n“Many states have abused the system by requesting work requirement waivers,” U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins said in an April news release. “Today marks the start of a new era for SNAP – prioritizing work, career and technical education, and volunteering rather than idleness, excess spending and misapplication of the law.” \n\n\n\nApril Rosales, social services manager at the El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank, said she has seen the newly affected groups fall out of SNAP when they tried to renew their enrollment.\n\n\n\nIn some households, a parent isn’t working because they are helping their child with school and activities. The trade-off to work instead doesn’t seem worth it to them, she said. For others – seniors, homeless and veterans – Rosales said she sees a desire to work, but they don’t have reliable transportation to get to a job or to training set up by the Texas Workforce Commission. These are people who have not been in the workforce for years, she said.\n\n\n\n“A lot of our clients don’t know how to use a computer,” Rosales said. “They don’t have transportation. Even if we are referring them to Workforce to get a job, that’s one of the major barriers. It breaks my heart because we can’t assist them.”\n\n\n\nFamilies receive eggs and other foods from the El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank,  9541 Plaza Circle, on March 17, 2025. The food bank is having to cut back its hours and services as donations and funding continues dropping. (Luis Torres / El Paso Matters)\n\n\n\nRosales described the situation as frustrating, as many clients don’t know about the SNAP changes until they come to the food bank and she informs them. People who were exempt from work requirements at 59 came back six months later only to be told they have to work 20 hours a week, she said. These are people taking care of family members or grandchildren, and now they’re missing out on SNAP, she added.\n\n\n\nThe work requirements are not designed to help people find work, Cole said. Instead of investing in employment training opportunities or removing barriers to work, the federal government is applying a strict one-size-fits-all rule to a population that does not have one size to find work.\n\n\n\n“We are not arguing that people shouldn’t have to work,” Cole said. “But if you want to use a government program as a tool to make people more self-sufficient, then you should help people find work and gain skills instead of using it to punitively reduce people’s access to SNAP.”\n\n\n\nImmigrants pushed away from food stamps\n\n\n\nH.R. 1 terminated SNAP eligibility for most refugees and asylees in November 2025. \n\n\n\nOutside of that law, Cole said ICE arrests and the federal crackdown on immigration have fostered fear in households with mixed immigration statuses.\n\n\n\nUndocumented immigrants are not eligible for SNAP benefits. But parents of eligible children may be forgoing benefits for their children if they think it will hurt their ability to become a legal resident, Cole said.\n\n\n\nThey worry applying for government assistance will jeopardize their ability to stay in the country or stay with their child, she said.\n\n\n\nAdministrative errors remain persistent problem\n\n\n\nStarting in 2027, the federal government is reducing its share of SNAP administrative costs from 50% to 25% by shifting costs to the states. In addition, states that have error payment rates at or above 6% must pay a portion of total SNAP benefits.\n\n\n\nThe error rate in Texas hovers between 8% and 9%. Errors can be both underpayments or overpayments of SNAP benefits.\n\n\n\nWhile the policy is intended to address fraud, Texas has historically low instances of fraud and most errors are unintentional mistakes made by caseworkers, not SNAP clients, Cole said. The lengthy, detailed application and continuous renewal makes the process prone to error, she said.\n\n\n\nAfter calling the El Paso County SNAP office, Ramirez believes an error is the reason for underpayment after renewing her enrollment. One caseworker informed Ramirez she received additional income from a second job located outside of El Paso. Ramirez said she doesn’t know where the state got that information because she doesn’t have other employment. Another person, a supervisor, told her she made more than $3,200 at her server job, which Ramirez said was impossible.\n\n\n\n“I gave them income tax forms, employment verification, pay stubs, kids’ daycare costs,” Ramirez said. “I don’t know what else.”\n\n\n\nTomatoes and an assortment of fruits and vegetables at the El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank, 9541 Plaza Circle, are prepared to go to help families in need, March 17, 2025. (Luis Torres / El Paso Matters)\n\n\n\nCole said Feeding Texas is pushing Congress to allow a two-year delay before the cost-sharing kicks in so all states have more time to reduce their error rates, whether it’s through technology upgrades or new staff training.\n\n\n\n“If we don’t hit the target, Texas will be on the hook for $700 million,” Cole said. “That’s concerning because states never paid for SNAP like that before, it’s not in our budget.”\n\n\n\n“If the state says we don’t want to pay this much, they’ll look for ways to artificially depress enrollment or cut benefits, reduce eligibility,” she said.\n\n\n\nUnder pressure to reduce its error rate, Texas has begun asking for additional documentation, which creates more opportunities for people to fall through the cracks, Rosales said. The food bank is receiving clients from other community organizations to investigate why their SNAP applications are rejected, she said.\n\n\n\nOne couple she saw last week involved someone who is disabled and in hospice, Rosales recalled. Neither have to work because they’re over 65 and their income indicated they were eligible – yet they still got rejected for SNAP benefits, Rosales said. \n\n\n\n“It could have been as simple as they didn’t turn in something, a mortgage receipt or rent receipt or latest bank statement,” Rosales said. “Now that the state is asking for more documentation to reduce error rates, more people are getting dropped or denied and they don’t reapply. They just assume they’re not eligible.”\n\n\n\nDisclosure: El Paso Matters CEO Robert Moore is a board member for El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank.

The heart starts to fail, so our cardiologists are extremely important to help stabilize these kids.”\n\n\n\nVein of Galen malformation is exceptionally rare, with many pediatric centers encountering only one or two cases every few years. Successful treatment requires extensive coordination among multiple specialties, including neurology, neurosurgery, cardiology, neurointerventional radiology and critical care.\n\n\n\n“We are happy that here we have that expertise from neurology, neurosurgery, cardiology and neurointerventional specialists,” Makoshi said. “All these specialties need to come together to manage a patient like this, and we were able to do that here.”\n\n\n\nAs Darleth’s condition became increasingly critical during infancy, her family sought treatment options at major pediatric centers across the country. However, the complexity of her condition presented significant challenges.\n\n\n\n“When she arrived at that catastrophic state, we tried to connect to the main centers that have the highest experience in the country for Vein of Galen malformation,” said Dr. Alberto Maud, neurointerventionalist at Texas Tech Physicians of El Paso. “However, none of those accepted Darleth because of the complexity and logistics it implied, as well as the complexity of her particular case.”\n\n\n\nFaced with limited options and months away from home, Erika made the decision to bring her daughter back to El Paso.\n\n\n\n“The truth is it was eight or nine months of agony out of El Paso because aside from this, I have three other kids,” Erika said. “It was really stressful because I also had to care for them, not just for her. So I made the decision to bring her back to El Paso Children’s, and I am very grateful because they have helped me so much.”\n\n\n\nOnce Darleth returned to El Paso Children’s Hospital, physicians across numerous specialties came together to develop an aggressive treatment strategy.\n\n\n\n“We decided to take the bull by the horns,” Maud said. “We reunited multidisciplinary teams, including neurosurgery, pediatric neurology, neurointervention, PICU, CICU, anesthesia and cardiology. Together we made an extraordinary effort that resulted in six or seven consecutive embolization procedures to tackle this vascular malformation.”\n\n\n\nEach procedure required meticulous planning and coordination among clinical teams.\n\n\n\n“We would rehearse and see exactly, even the route we were going to take for her procedures,” said Ana Alvarado, who is a Critical Care Registered Nurse at El Paso Children’s Hospital. “Every little step, we worked together to determine the best way to give her a positive outcome.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nErika and daughter, Darleth. Pictures adorn the walls of Darleth’s room at El Paso Children’s Hospital. Photos by El Paso Children’s Hospital.\n\n\n\nCommunication with Darleth’s family remained a critical component of her care. Dr. Natalia Betancourt-Guzman, a pediatric cardiologist at El Paso Children’s Hospital, worked closely with the family to ensure they understood the complex medical decisions ahead.\n\n\n\n“Dad only spoke Spanish, so the fact that I could sit with him and explain something so complex in his first language was something very beneficial for them,”  Betancourt-Guzman said. “It helped them be calm and understand what was happening and the risks so they could make a good decision.”\n\n\n\nFrom the day Darleth was born, specialists closely monitored her heart function as they worked to stabilize her condition.\n\n\n\n“Our team has been doing echocardiograms since literally day one,” said William Wong, pediatric echocardiographer at El Paso Children’s Hospital. “We have been scanning her for almost a year now, and ultimately you just accept the fact that she is part of the family.”\n\n\n\nThe commitment of physicians, nurses, therapists and support staff became a defining part of Darleth’s journey.\n\n\n\n“When you have a patient who has such a complex disease, it really emphasizes why you need physicians who love taking care of kids and love taking care of their families,” said Dr. Alejandra Melendez-Zaidi, pediatric epileptologist at Texas Tech Physicians of El Paso and El Paso Children’s Hospital. “That’s pediatrics, and that’s why you need a place that allows for the coordination of all those resources and interactions.”\n\n\n\nAfter months of treatment and collaboration, the team’s efforts produced remarkable results.\n\n\n\n“The embolization procedures resulted in stabilization of the brain, stabilization of seizures, stabilization of heart failure and stabilization of liver failure,” Maud said. “That allowed a baby who was close to nine months old to breathe by herself, come off the ventilator and finally be discharged home.”\n\n\n\nFor Erika, the outcome exceeded every expectation.\n\n\n\n“I am left without words,” she said. “I am so grateful because this is my daughter that I had before. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. We are always going to remember you. I am always going to remind Darleth about what they did for her.”\n\n\n\nMaud emphasized that Darleth’s recovery reflects the collective dedication of countless caregivers, as well as the unwavering support of her family.\n\n\n\n“Outcomes like this are possible because of our nursing staff, our PICU staff, our administration and everyone involved in providing the highest level of care for children with brain diseases,” he said. “But we cannot overlook the role of her mother, her sisters and the family support throughout the entire process. The trust they gave us to take care of Darleth’s brain was unparalleled.”\n\n\n\nToday, Darleth’s story serves as a powerful reminder that advanced pediatric specialty care is available close to home for families across the Borderland region. Her recovery reflects the strength of multidisciplinary collaboration, innovative treatment and the resilience of a child who never stopped fighting.\n\n\n\n“Look at us and where we arrived,” Erika said. “The effort that she put in, she is a strong girl. I didn’t expect this, but she has proven to us that she is so strong, and I am so happy to be her mom.”\n\n\n\n\nLearn more about El Paso’s Children’s Hospital\n\n\n\n\n\nThe post No one else could take her case.

Most lost pets are found within a mile of home.\n\n\n\nTo free up space, El Paso Animal Services is calling for residents to foster current pets. The county is also hosting several free microchip and identification tag events ahead of the holiday. ID tags come in small and large sizes.\n\n\n\nPet owners should update their contact information and check if their microchips are still registered by going to PetMicrochipLookup.com to identify their pet’s microchip company. El Paso Animal Services also recommends creating a free pet profile through Petco Love Lost, which helps reconnect lost pets with their families.\n\n\n\n\nFree Pet Microchips and ID Tags\n\n\n\nWhere: El Paso Animal Services, 5001 Fred Wilson Ave.\n\n\n\nWhen:\n\n\n\n\n3-6 p.m. Sunday, June 28-Thursday, July 2\n\n\n\n9 a.m.-noon Friday, June 26\n\n\n\n9 a.m.-noon Tuesday, June 30\n\n\n\n11 a.m.-6 p.m. Friday, July 3\n\n\n\n\n\nREAD MORE: Celebrate July Fourth with fireworks, parades and America 250 events across El Paso\n\n\n\nCity Cancels Armored Car Services Contract, Bans Them for Three Years\n\n\n\nThe El Paso City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to terminate the city’s contract with an armored car service vendor by default and disqualified it from doing business with the city for the next three years.\n\n\n\nTrans America Protection Corporation had three separate contracts with the city and had provided armored car services for the international bridges, Parks and Recreation Department, public health, the police department, tax office and Sun Metro since June 2024.\n\n\n\nThe city is alleging that the company mishandled and misappropriated public funds with incidents of note related to the municipal courts and International Bridges Department and violated local, state and federal laws, City Attorney Sergio Estrada told the City Council on Tuesday.\n\n\n\n“We had money go missing that was collected by this entity from city facilities. Additionally, we had money that was deposited way after the date on which it was collected and deposited into bank accounts in denominations that were completely contrary to what the city had collected,” Estrada said.\n\n\n\nEstrada said about $13,000 in funds from the municipal courts was paid to the city Monday – the day before the City Council received the presentation and voted to terminate the contract. Estrada did not specify an amount at issue with the bridges department.\n\n\n\nThe city has filed a lawsuit against Trans America Protection Corporation and Robyn Karol Rodriguez, the managing director of the company, Estrada said.\n\n\n\nRodriguez could not immediately be reached for comment.\n\n\n\nThe city entered an initial three-year contract with the company for about $234,000 with an option to extend two years, for a total of five years at about $390,000.\n\n\n\nCanutillo ISD Board Adopts Balanced Budget\n\n\n\nThe Canutillo Independent School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a balanced $65.6 million budget for the coming school year.\n\n\n\nIt is the second consecutive year budgeted expenses have not exceeded revenue since the district in 2025 made a series of budget cuts, including laying off employees and cutting programs.\n\n\n\n“I am incredibly proud of the work our team has done to ensure we remain fiscally responsible while keeping our focus where it belongs — on providing our students with a high-quality education,” Canutillo ISD Superintendent Josue Borrego said in a statement. \n\n\n\n“Over the past three years, our district has navigated significant financial challenges and made difficult decisions that no school district wants to make. Those decisions were not easy, but they positioned us to achieve what we have today: a balanced budget and a stronger financial foundation for the future.”\n\n\n\nCanutillo ISD — which had more than 5,600 students enrolled during the 2025-26 academic year — expects enrollment to decline by about 90 students next year.\n\n\n\nThe district started the current fiscal year, which ends June 30, with over $10 million in its reserves. After spending $750,000 on technology refurbishments for administration, the district expects to end the fiscal year with about $9.3 million in reserves.\n\n\n\nThat’s enough to keep the district running for about 52 days in an emergency, though the state recommends having 75.\n\n\n\nUTEP Library to Unveil El Paso History Exhibit\n\n\n\nUTEP’s University Library has put a Latin spin on a celebration of the nation’s 250th birthday with “Nosotros, El Pueblo: 250 years of El Paso History,” a display that will have an opening reception from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, July 2, on the third floor exhibit space.\n\n\n\nA library committee led by Susannah Holliday, assistant head of the library’s Special Collections Department, created the presentation of books, photos, letters, renderings and original documents dating back to when Juan de Oñate claimed this area for Spain in April 1598. \n\n\n\nAmong the major topics will be the coming of the railroad in 1881, the start of the Bracero Program were Mexican laborers were invited to America in 1942, the Chamizal settlement in the 1960s, and the formation of MEChA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán) at the University of Texas at El Paso in 1971.\n\n\n\nThe exhibit will close Aug. 28. \n\n\n\nThe event will include light refreshments and live performances of early Latin American music by Carlos Gamez, Flora Newberry and Lindsey Macchiarella.\n\n\n\nClaudia Rivers, head of the library’s Special Collections Department, said the Texas State Library and Archives Commission donated an additional exhibit to recognize the U.S. Semiquincentennial. It features reproductions of documents important to Texas history.

But one decision changed the trajectory of his life: he finally asked for help.\n\n\n\nThat decision led him to the Rescue Mission of El Paso’s recovery program, where he found more than sobriety. He found structure, accountability, job training and a renewed sense of purpose.\n\n\n\nToday, Johnson manages Hallelujah! BBQ, a social enterprise operated by the Rescue Mission. The restaurant serves what many call the best barbecue in Texas, while creating employment opportunities for individuals working to rebuild their lives after addiction, homelessness or other hardships.\n\n\n\nFor Johnson, the role is deeply personal. Each day he works alongside people facing challenges he once faced himself, offering encouragement and demonstrating that long-term recovery and stability are possible.\n\n\n\nHis journey reflects the broader mission of the Rescue Mission of El Paso: helping individuals move from crisis to self-sufficiency through shelter, recovery services, workforce development and ongoing support.\n\n\n\nThe impact extends beyond the people enrolled in programs. Families are reunited, children gain stronger support systems and the community benefits when individuals are given the opportunity to start over.\n\n\n\nJohnson credits the Rescue Mission, its staff and the generosity of donors for helping make that transformation possible.

The Trump administration said it was necessary to deal with an increase of asylum seekers at the border.\n\n\n\nThe policy is not in place now, though authorities have imposed other restrictions on asylum seekers. The Department of Homeland Security did not say if they plan to revive it, but applauded the ruling.\n\n\n\n“This decision opens up an important tool to continue securing our southern border,” said James Percival, the agency’s general counsel.\n\n\n\nThe administration argued that metering is a critical tool that’s been used by presidents of both parties and should stay available. Federal attorneys say people turned away at the border could come back later, though lines were thousands of people long when the policy was in place before.\n\n\n\nThe case is one of several immigration suits the court is considering this term, including Trump’s push to end restrict birthright citizenship. The high court also allowed his administration to end deportation for migrants fleeing instability and armed conflict on Thursday.\n\n\n\nUnder federal law, migrants who arrive in the U.S. must be able to apply for asylum and be screened for fear of persecution in their home countries.\n\n\n\nThe Justice Department argued that people stopped by authorities haven’t arrived in the country, so immigration agents don’t have to let them apply.\n\n\n\nThe court’s conservative majority agreed.\n\n\n\n“A guest does not arrive in a house when he knocks on the front door,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote.\n\n\n\nBut attorneys for people seeking asylum say the law has long meant anyone arriving at a port of entry should be screened, and blocking arrivals disregards the nation’s ideals.\n\n\n\nJustice Sonia Sotomayor dissented from the bench, saying that the majority’s opinion “regrettably and tragically extinguishes the light of the torch of the Statue of Liberty.”\n\n\n\nThe decision could also give people a “perverse incentive” to enter the country illegally if they can’t count on being able to legally apply for asylum at a port of entry, she said, a concern that Alito’s opinion said was overblown.\n\n\n\nIn an unusual exchange, Alito voiced a response after she finished speaking. He expressed surprise that she had read her dissent out loud and defended his opinion by pointing out that the policy had been used during two presidential administrations. “I won’t add anything more to that,” Alito said.\n\n\n\nMetering was first used under President Barack Obama when large numbers of Haitians appeared at the main crossing to San Diego from Tijuana, Mexico. It was expanded to all border crossings from Mexico during Trump’s first term in the White House.\n\n\n\nIt ended in 2020 when the government introduced greater restrictions during the coronavirus pandemic, and President Joe Biden formally rescinded it in 2021.\n\n\n\nThe same year, a California-based federal judge found that metering violated the asylum seekers’ rights and the law requiring screening. A divided appeals court panel affirmed the ruling but nearly half of judges on the full San Francisco-based court voted to rehear it, a strong signal that might have caught the attention of the Supreme Court.\n\n\n\nAttorneys with the group Democracy Forward first brought the case, and condemned Thursday’s ruling.\n\n\n\n“We are disappointed in the Court’s decision and call on all Americans to demand that our government protect the families the Court today decided to keep in harm’s way,” said President and CEO Skye Perryman.\n\n\n\nThey represented the group Al Otro Lado, whose executive director said the decision would mean a “hardening of borders to keep out the most vulnerable,” that is “sure to result in many more lives lost.”\n\n\n\nU.S. law allows people seeking refuge to apply for asylum once they are on American soil, regardless of whether they came legally. To qualify for asylum, they must show a fear of persecution in their homeland for specific reasons, like race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion.\n\n\n\nPeople who are eventually granted asylum can’t be deported. They can legally work, bring in immediate family, apply for legal residency and seek citizenship.\n\n\n\nAssociated Press writers Fatima Hussein and Rebecca Santana contributed to this report.\nThe post Supreme Court clears way for Trump administration to revive restrictive policy for asylum seekers appeared first on El Paso Matters.","url":"https://elpasomatters.org/2026/06/25/scotus-supreme-court-trump-asylum-seekers-turn-back-migrants-at-border/","source":"El Paso Matters","author":"Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-06-25T19:59:05.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi0.wp.com%2Felpasomatters.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2FAP26159603331463-scaled.jpg%3Ffit%3D1024%252C683%26ssl%3D1","slug":"supreme-court-clears-way-for-trump-administration-to-revive-restrictive-policy-for-asylum-seekers"},{"id":"5kgjxa","title":"El Paso orthopedic expert shares tips for staying active and preventing arthritis","excerpt":"El Pasoans of all ages are building their fitness — and social circles — by joining running clubs and participating in community walks and recreational activities of all kinds.

And while that’s a great trend to see in our city, sometimes your fitness journey can be interrupted by a nagging pain in your knee, hip, ankle or other joint.\n\n\n\nHowever, orthopedic specialists say joint pain should not automatically discourage you from staying active.\n\n\n\nKarim “Dr. Shark” Elsharkawy, a Texas Tech Physicians of El Paso board-certified orthopedic surgeon, encourages adults to pay attention to the warning signs of joint problems. He also advises them to prioritize overall health and wellness.\n\n\n\n“We definitely see more active people, whether it’s running or other activities,” said Elsharkawy, who also serves as an associate professor of orthopedic surgery and rehabilitation in the Foster School of Medicine at Texas Tech Health El Paso. “I’m seeing the community here becoming more active, which is really a good thing.”\n\n\n\nAccording to Elsharkawy, many complaints about joint pain or discomfort among recreational athletes are linked to conditioning, improper preparation or overuse. He recommends slowly easing into your training routine, wearing proper footwear, and avoiding the urge to push through persistent pain. \n\n\n\nIt’s advice many experienced runners and other athletes understand: By warming up and training smart, you can reap the reward of a pain-free, active lifestyle.\n\n\n\n“Many people are eager to go all out when they start training, but starting slow is more effective,” Elsharkawy said. “Even at the beginning, you’ve got to warm up because if you don’t, you’re more than likely to injure something or pull a muscle.”\n\n\n\nWhile occasional soreness after activity can be normal, lingering pain, swelling and stiffness may signal a more serious issue. Other warning signs may include difficulty sleeping, difficulty getting out of a chair, swelling or noticeable changes in leg alignment.\n\n\n\n“If pain starts during activity and then stays afterward, even after icing it or taking medication, that’s something to pay attention to,” Elsharkawy said. “If the pain is getting to the point where it limits your activities, go see a specialist.”\n\n\n\nKarim “Dr. Shark” Elsharkawy  Photo by Texas Tech Health of El Paso.\n\n\n\nPreventing and treating osteoarthritis\n\n\n\nElsharkway sees patients who have developed osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease that is the most common type of arthritis. Osteoarthritis can be influenced by several factors, including genetics, prior joint injuries, and metabolic conditions such as diabetes and obesity.\n\n\n\nThe condition is often seen in older adults, but he says debilitating osteoarthritis is not an inevitable part of aging. Staying active, maintaining a healthy weight, and controlling blood sugar are some of the healthy lifestyle habits that can reduce the risk of osteoarthritis, and allow older patients to enjoy a thriving quality of life.\n\n\n\n“Many people delay seeking care because they assume arthritis is simply part of aging. However, advances in treatment and recovery have improved outcomes,” Elsharkawy said. \n\n\n\nFor example, robotic-assisted surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used in joint replacements, and it offers patients the benefits of reduced post-operative pain and short hospital stays. Some patients are able to return home the day after surgery, he said.\n\n\n\nAbove all, Elsharkawy encourages people not to ignore persistent symptoms – there’s no need to silently endure a life of discomfort and limited mobility.\n\n\n\n“The main thing is seeking consultation early,” he said. “It’s much easier to deal with some situations when they’re caught early rather than after they’ve become advanced.”\n\n\n\nTo learn more about orthopedic surgery and rehabilitation services at Texas Tech Physicians of El Paso, visit ttepelpaso.com or call 915-215-5400.\n\n\n\n\nLearn More\n\nThe post El Paso orthopedic expert shares tips for staying active and preventing arthritis appeared first on El Paso Matters.","url":"https://elpasomatters.org/2026/06/25/el-paso-orthopedic-expert-shares-tips-for-staying-active-and-preventing-arthritis/","source":"El Paso Matters","author":"Special to El Paso Matters","publishDate":"2026-06-25T17:27:57.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi0.wp.com%2Felpasomatters.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2FDr.-Shark-and-Colleagues-scaled.jpeg%3Ffit%3D1024%252C768%26ssl%3D1","slug":"el-paso-orthopedic-expert-shares-tips-for-staying-active-and-preventing-arthritis"},{"id":"z25cut","title":"From stewardship to state park: Land transfer expands Franklin Mountains State Park","excerpt":"In El Paso, a land transfer from El Paso Water to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department shows how partnerships can protect natural resources while expanding public access.\n\n\n\nThis long-standing partnership between El Paso Water and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department continued to grow on May 14...","content":"In El Paso, a land transfer from El Paso Water to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department shows how partnerships can protect natural resources while expanding public access.\n\n\n\nThis long-standing partnership between El Paso Water and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department continued to grow on May 14, when El Paso Water transferred an additional 1,054 acres to TPWD, expanding the eastern boundary of Franklin Mountains State Park.\n\n\n\nThe move also reflects years of planning and stewardship by El Paso Water.\n\n\n\nThe land on the northeastern edge of the Franklin Mountains was part of El Paso Water’s portfolio, held to protect resources and support long-term planning.\n\n\n\nBy transferring 1,054 acres to TPWD, El Paso Water gave the land a new public purpose.\n\n\n\nNow, in addition to preserving the land for future generations, El Paso Water’s transfer to TPWD will expand public access.\n\n\n\nIt’s a shared vision in action.\n\n\n\nExpanding a regional landmark\n\n\n\nFranklin Mountains State Park is the largest urban wilderness park in the continental United States — a distinction made possible in part by El Paso Water’s transfer of approximately 12,000 acres to the TPWD many years ago. That land represents about half of the park’s total acreage. \n\n\n\nEl Paso Water is proud to have played a role in creating this special place, where current and future generations can experience the beauty of the Franklin Mountains.\n\n\n\nThe recent addition of 1,054 acres further strengthens that legacy by expanding the park’s footprint and enhancing its long-term preservation. \n\n\n\nThe new land provides additional terrain, improves connectivity, and increases access, particularly in the park’s northeastern area. It also serves as a buffer against urban encroachment, helping protect the Franklin Mountains’ unique desert landscape and scenic views for years to come.\n\n\n\nEntrance to a trail as part of the El Paso Water land transferred to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Photo by El Paso Water. \n\n\n\nFor El Paso Water, the sale reflects a longstanding commitment to land stewardship.\n\n\n\nThe transfer preserves the land’s environmental value while creating new opportunities for conservation and recreation.\n\n\n\nThe property helps protect the Chihuahuan Desert ecosystem, native wildlife and the regional ecological balance.\n\n\n\nIt also supports TPWD’s mission to expand access to public lands as Texas grows.\n\n\n\nBenefits for the community\n\n\n\nFor El Paso residents, the benefits of this partnership will grow over time.\n\n\n\nThe expansion supports:\n\n\n\n\nMore access to trails, hiking and outdoor recreation.\n\n\n\nPreserved views and open space.\n\n\n\nProtected wildlife habitat and desert ecosystems.\n\n\n\nLong-term quality-of-life benefits tied to green space.\n\n\n\n\nAs the region grows, these benefits help balance development and conservation.\n\n\n\nTPWD will assess natural and cultural resources and develop a public use plan for the land.\n\n\n\nThis planning process will determine how visitors access the area, where trails may expand and how the land can best serve both recreational and conservation goals.\n\n\n\nIt’s a deliberate approach  —  one that reflects the same long-term thinking that guided El Paso Water’s stewardship of the land.\n\n\n\nA partnership with purpose\n\n\n\nAt its core, this land transfer demonstrates what is possible when organizations align around a shared goal.\n\n\n\nBy transferring 1,054 acres to TPWD, El Paso Water is extending its impact beyond water and infrastructure, helping shape how the region preserves its natural assets for generations to come.\n\n\n\nFor TPWD, the acquisition represents another step toward expanding public access and protecting the landscapes that define Texas.\n\n\n\nAs the Franklin Mountains State Park grows, so will opportunities for residents and visitors to experience the outdoors.\n\n\n\nWhat was once utility-owned land is now part of a larger vision  —  one that prioritizes conservation, access and community benefit. Its impact will be visible in every trail explored, every view preserved and every future generation that gets to experience the Franklin Mountains.\n\n\n\nInterested in learning more about El Paso Water’s conservation efforts, water resource management and community initiatives?

The audio was recorded and obtained from ATC.com.\n\n\n\n\"We collided with a drone back there in the turn as we were coming to ASALT, just wanted to pass to you,\" the pilot tells an air traffic controller, referencing the waypoint for flights arriving in the New York City area.\n\n\n\nThe pilot noted that they did not need any assistance and were good to continue with the landing.\n\n\n\nThough the FAA says it receives more than 100 reports of drone sightings near airports each month, unauthorized drone operations near flights and airports are illegal under FAA regulation. The drone operators could be subject to fines, criminal charges and even possible jail time, according to the law.\nThe post JetBlue flight reports striking drone while landing at JFK: Officials appeared first on KVIA.","url":"https://kvia.com/news/abc-7-alert-center/2026/06/29/jetblue-flight-reports-striking-drone-while-landing-at-jfk-officials/","source":"KVIA ABC-7","author":"ABC News","publishDate":"2026-06-29T17:03:49.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.unsplash.com%2Fphoto-1560518883-ce09059eeffa%3Fw%3D800%26h%3D500%26fit%3Dcrop","slug":"jetblue-flight-reports-striking-drone-while-landing-at-jfk-officials"},{"id":"ee9alq","title":"Una peligrosa ola de calor, que podría romper récords, sofocará a millones durante la semana del 4 de julio","excerpt":"Por Briana Waxman, CNN\n\n\nMillones de personas en la mitad oriental de EE.UU. enfrentarán un prolongado episodio de calor peligroso que probablemente romperá récords, justo cuando los estadounidenses se preparan para salir a celebrar el 250.º aniversario de la Independencia del país.\n\n\nEl calor so...","content":"Por Briana Waxman, CNN\n\n\nMillones de personas en la mitad oriental de EE.UU. enfrentarán un prolongado episodio de calor peligroso que probablemente romperá récords, justo cuando los estadounidenses se preparan para salir a celebrar el 250.º aniversario de la Independencia del país.\n\n\nEl calor sofocante y la alta humedad se mantendrán sobre el Medio Oeste al comienzo de la semana y luego se desplazarán hacia el Atlántico Medio y el noreste para el miércoles. La extensa cúpula de calor permanecerá sobre el este del país, especialmente a lo largo del corredor de la Interestatal 95, y alcanzará su punto máximo el viernes, justo a tiempo para el largo fin de semana del 4 de Julio.\n\n\nMuchas zonas soportarán varios días consecutivos con temperaturas entre los 35 y los 38 °C. La humedad hará que la sensación térmica sea aún mayor y dificultará que el cuerpo se enfríe, con valores que podrían alcanzar los 43 °C o más.\n\n\nDecenas de localidades podrían igualar o romper récords diarios de temperatura máxima, principalmente entre el martes y el sábado. Charlotte, Carolina del Norte; Cleveland; Nueva York; Pittsburgh y Washington son algunas de las ciudades donde podrían caer esos récords.\n\n\nEl jueves, el Central Park de Nueva York podría registrar su primera temperatura de 38 °C desde julio de 2012, aunque la ciudad estuvo cerca de esa marca el año pasado cuando alcanzó los 37 °C en junio. Washington podría registrar tres o más días consecutivos con temperaturas de 38 °C por apenas la octava vez desde que existen registros. La racha más larga de la capital es de cuatro días, establecida por última vez en 2024.\n\n\nLas olas de calor en todo el mundo son cada vez más intensas y frecuentes debido al calentamiento provocado por la contaminación derivada de los combustibles fósiles. Las olas de calor récord registradas la semana pasada en Europa y en marzo en el oeste de EE.UU. son dos ejemplos recientes.\n\n\nEl calor es el fenómeno meteorológico más letal en EE.UU., con un promedio anual de muertes superior al causado por tornados, huracanes y rayos combinados, según estadísticas del Servicio Meteorológico Nacional.\n\n\nLa mayor preocupación no es solo el calor durante las tardes, sino que las altas temperaturas continuarán incluso después de la puesta del sol. La combinación de varios días consecutivos de calor intenso y noches excepcionalmente cálidas en una amplia zona geográfica representa una seria amenaza para la salud.\n\n\nMás de 100 récords diarios de temperatura máxima podrían igualarse o superarse, pero esta semana también podrían ponerse en riesgo más de 250 récords de temperaturas mínimas más cálidas durante la noche.\n\n\nEl mensaje del Servicio Meteorológico Nacional ha sido constante: esta ola de calor es diferente.\n\n\nEn el este de Virginia, el organismo advirtió que podría tratarse de la ola de calor más importante desde julio de 2012, cuando una docena de personas murió en el estado y más de 30 fallecieron por causas relacionadas con el calor en cuatro estados. Otras oficinas meteorológicas, desde el Atlántico Medio hasta Nueva Inglaterra, alertan que varios días de calor peligroso y noches inusualmente cálidas incrementarán el riesgo de enfermedades relacionadas con las altas temperaturas.\n\n\nSe prevé que Richmond, Virginia, supere los 38 °C durante tres días consecutivos, con la posibilidad de romper récords diarios y acercarse a las temperaturas de julio más altas registradas en la ciudad.\n\n\nEn Carolina del Norte, no se espera que Raleigh iguale su récord histórico de 41 °C, pero las temperaturas mínimas hacia finales de la semana podrían acercarse al récord histórico de la noche más cálida de la ciudad, con unos 27 °C.\n\n\nEn Washington se pronostican máximas de 39 °C para el jueves y 39,5 °C para el viernes, suficientes para romper récords diarios si se cumplen los pronósticos. Además, las temperaturas nocturnas podrían mantenerse por encima de los 27 °C, amenazando récords de mínimas más altas. Nueva York también podría igualar tanto el récord diario de temperatura máxima del jueves como el de la noche más cálida.\n\n\nLa ola de calor también tendrá un alcance enorme. Más de 100 millones de personas estarán bajo un riesgo de calor “importante” (nivel 3 de 4) o “extremo” (nivel 4 de 4), desde el sur profundo hasta partes de Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan y Maine, y hacia el este hasta Nueva York y Boston, durante al menos un día de esta semana, según el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional.\n\n\nPronóstico del riesgo por calor en EE.UU.\n\n\nSegún el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional, un calor de esta magnitud puede afectar a cualquier persona que no cuente con una hidratación adecuada o acceso a lugares frescos. Se espera poco alivio durante la noche, ya que la alta humedad mantendrá elevadas las temperaturas e impedirá que el sudor se evapore con eficacia, dificultando que el cuerpo se enfríe.\n\n\nEsta semana, las temperaturas mínimas no bajarán de entre 21 y 24 °C en el Medio Oeste y la región de los Grandes Lagos. En las zonas urbanas, donde el concreto y el asfalto absorben calor durante el día y lo liberan lentamente por la noche, las temperaturas podrían mantenerse cerca o por encima de los 27 °C.\n\n\nLa exposición prolongada al calor extremo puede provocar enfermedades como agotamiento por calor, calambres y, en los casos más graves, golpe de calor, según los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades de EE.UU. Las visitas a las salas de emergencia por enfermedades relacionadas con el calor aumentan durante los días clasificados con riesgo “importante” y “extremo”, según el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional.\n\n\nPronóstico para dos semanas: probabilidad de temperaturas por encima, por debajo o cerca del promedio\n\n\nSe espera que la ola de calor alcance su punto máximo durante uno de los periodos del año con más viajes y actividades al aire libre. Millones de estadounidenses que asistirán a desfiles, parrilladas, eventos deportivos y espectáculos de fuegos artificiales por el 4 de Julio deberán prepararse para un calor peligroso, especialmente durante la tarde y las primeras horas de la noche.\n\n\nWashington se prepara para recibir una gran afluencia de visitantes durante los eventos por el 250.º aniversario de la independencia de EE.UU. esta semana. Aunque los principales actos, como el concierto “A Capitol Fourth” del viernes y el espectáculo de fuegos artificiales del sábado, se realizarán por la noche, los organizadores también promueven atracciones diurnas como los monumentos, las zonas costeras y el zoológico de la ciudad.\n\n\nSe espera que la alcaldesa de Washington, Muriel Bowser, y funcionarios de seguridad pública ofrezcan este lunes una sesión informativa sobre los preparativos para las celebraciones.\n\n\nEl alcalde de Nueva York, Zohran Mamdani, puso en marcha este mes varias iniciativas de concientización sobre el calor, entre ellas la actualización de más de 2.000 quioscos LinkNYC para indicar cómo llegar a centros de refrigeración ubicados a menos de 10 minutos a pie.\n\n\nEn Nashville, brigadas realizarán recorridos de vigilancia por calor a partir de la tarde de este lunes para “verificar el estado de las personas vulnerables, incluidas aquellas sin hogar”, y ofrecer agua fría y otros recursos, según la Oficina de Manejo de Emergencias de la ciudad.\n\n\nAlgunas zonas del Medio Oeste y el noreste registrarán un descenso de las temperaturas hacia el final del fin de semana festivo, a medida que la cresta de alta presión en niveles altos de la atmósfera se debilite y se desplace hacia el oeste, lo que permitirá el desarrollo de tormentas eléctricas. Sin embargo, se espera que las temperaturas superiores al promedio persistan en gran parte del sur del país durante la próxima semana.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

El desafío humanitario de los terremotos pone al Gobierno de la presidenta encargada, Delcy Rodríguez, frente a un desafío que trasciende la emergencia inmediata y convierte a la gestión e la crisis en su gran prueba de liderazgo, con una población que no confía en sus autoridades y arrastra años de reclamos de cambio.\n\n\nFrente a una tragedia que ya deja cerca de 1.500 muertos y miles y miles de desaparecidos entre las incontables toneladas de escombros, las autoridades ya reconocieron algunos errores en la toma de decisiones e intentan atender las demandas para coordinar la respuesta, ante una reconstrucción que se prevé de largo aliento y que podría también redefinir el rumbo de la administración.\n\n\nEn las primeras 24 horas desde los terremotos del miércoles, la respuesta fue “prácticamente nula”, dijo a CNN la analista política Carmen Beatriz Fernández, directora de la consultora DataStrategia.\n\n\nLo que siguió no fue mejor. En un intento por evitar un desborde, las autoridades frenaron a voluntarios que intentaban llegar a las zonas más afectadas. Desde Caracas hay una única autopista a La Guaira (además de una carretera vieja), por lo que era imprescindible evitar que la ruta colapsara, pero los intentos de organización enfurecieron a los voluntarios, que en algunos casos rompieron barreras de autoridades para llegar a las zonas afectadas, según mostraron videos difundidos en redes sociales desde diversas localidades.\n\n\n“La gente lo interpretó como un entorpecimiento de las iniciativas populares ante la ausencia del Estado. Es poner una alcabala a la actuación de la sociedad civil que emerge por voluntarismo y necesidad de hacer algo”, dijo Fernández.\n\n\nEl Gobierno estableció un sistema de registro de voluntarios para canalizar la asistencia. El presidente de la Asamblea Nacional, Jorge Fernández, admitió el domingo los problemas y aseguró que la situación se había normalizado. Dijo que el proceso de inscripción “puso orden a la ingente necesidad que tenemos de ayudar al prójimo” y que más de 7.700 personas se habían anotado y recibieron su salvoconducto para ir a La Guaira. “El desorden inicial ha sido sustituido por un orden en el que voluntarios son distribuidos según las prioridades que se establezcan”, expresó el hermano de la mandataria encargada.\n\n\nFernández comentó que la iniciativa de registrar a los voluntarios “tiene sentido”, ya que “es necesario tener una organización, una estructura logística que permita no entorpecer el tráfico”, pero remarcó el impacto de las imágenes en las que rescatistas o voluntarios no pueden llegar a la zona crítica. “La gente está indignada. No solamente por la inoperancia e incapacidad de gestionar la catástrofe, sino por los esfuerzos por obstaculizar la ayuda”.\n\n\nLa falta de respuesta, dijo Fernández, es una consecuencia de las decisiones políticas del chavismo, que gobierna el país desde 1999 y, en la última década, aplicó una limitó al máximo, incluso con violencia, las manifestaciones de oposición.\n\n\n“Lo que estamos viendo es la tragedia como un reflejo de la otra tragedia, que fue dedicar únicamente las capacidades del estado a la represión y la propaganda. Desmontaste un estado a su capacidad de provisión de necesidades básicas”, consideró la analista.\n\n\nLa mandataria encargada ha encabezado varias de las reuniones y actos en respuesta a la crisis, pero no está acaparando la comunicación del Gobierno.\n\n\n“Ha habido vocerías del hermano y, en menor medida de ministro de Interior, Diosdado Cabello”, comentó a CNN Oswaldo Ramírez, director de ORC Consultores. La jefa del Ejecutivo “ha tratado de poner orden y ha tenido un tono de esperanza y mucho énfasis en el agradecimiento a la ayuda internacional”, agregó.\n\n\nEl liderazgo abre una ventana de oportunidad para fortalecer su posición política, bajo el efecto de unidad nacional, pero también la arriesga a exponerse como la gestora de una respuesta fallida que pone en relieve las debilidades del Estado tras años de crisis económica.\n\n\nFernández recordó que muchas tragedias “terminan repotenciando a las autoridades”, aunque también puede darse el caso contrario. “La gente se siente tremendamente indefensa, ven una figura al frente como la que te salva. Lo que estamos viendo aquí no es eso. Para que eso pase, tienes que hacerlo mínimamente bien, tener una capacidad de respuesta y no lo hemos visto. Es todo lo contrario: la sociedad está cada vez más enfadada con ese interinato”, consideró.\n\n\nHay antecedentes para cada escenario. En Chile, Sebastián Piñera asumió poco después de un devastador terremoto en 2010 y, con una respuesta rápida, fortaleció la imagen del estado. Alan García en Perú (2007) y Enrique Peña Nieto en México (2017) tuvieron claroscuros en su manejo de crisis. A su vez, un terremoto que devastó Managua en 1972 fue una señal de partida para una crisis que terminó (años después) en la caída de Anastasio Somoza y, en México, el terremoto de 1985 en Ciudad de México fue un punto de inflexión para el fin de las siete décadas de gobiernos unipartidistas del PRI.\n\n\nEn Venezuela, tras los terremotos “el análisis de sentimiento en redes sociales es negativo, son años de desidia”, apuntó Ramírez. Un relevamiento de ORC Consultores realizado en junio y compartido con CNN arrojó que la evaluación de la gestión presidenta encargada, luego de haber tenido un repunte a 26 % de imagen positiva en febrero, cayó con fuerza en junio y se ubica en 13 %, un nivel similar a los del capturado Nicolás Maduro.\n\n\nEl Gobierno de Estados Unidos, que redefinió sus relaciones con Caracas tras la captura y arresto de Maduro en enero, viene liderando la respuesta de la comunidad internacional y coordinando con las autoridades locales.\n\n\nRodríguez, frente a la falta de capacidad local, se ve obligada a aceptar toda ayuda internacional, a diferencia de Hugo Chávez en 1999, que tras la tragedia de Vargas (actual estado La Guaira) en 1999 por masivos deslaves rechazó a Washington asistencia adicional a la inicial.\n\n\nEl secretario de Estado de EE.UU., Marco Rubio, dijo que el apoyo del país será significativo, y un funcionario dijo a la prensa el sábado que “hay grandes comunicaciones” con Caracas.\n\n\n“Es la consolidación del tutelaje” de la Casa Blanca sobre el Palacio de Miraflores, consideró Fernández. “Es una posición de liderazgo en la estructura, no solo en la ayuda internacional, sino en la gestión local”, afirmó.\n\n\nEn tanto, Ramírez habló del desafío de Rodríguez: “Vemos a Delcy en una especie de laberinto, obligada a colaborar, hacer todo lo necesario, particularmente con EE.UU. y la comunidad internacional. Internamente, debe ver cómo canalizar esa ayuda”.\n\n\nEl consultor afirmó que el Gobierno viene enfrentando “una situación de reajuste” constante en los últimos meses, ya sea por dinámicas externas o internas, “en función de avance o lentitud del proceso de tres fases en el que EE.UU. indicaba que estaba en el plan de recuperación”.\n\n\nEn ese marco, destacó como sorpresivo un hecho de hace solo unos días: la llegada al país de la dirigente opositora Dinorah Figuera como encargada de entablar una negociación de transición (apoyada por Washington) con las figuras del chavismo.\n\n\n“Ese proceso puede quedar frenado, ir a una velocidad mucho más lenta en la idea de seguir avanzando en la reinstitucionalización o la designación de nuevos magistrados para el Tribunal Supremo de Justicia”, dijo Ramírez. “En términos de realpolitik, pudieras tener la obligación de ir más lento. porque el Ejecutivo tiene que estar concentrado, además de todos los problemas que tienen paralelo, como asegurar servicios públicos, atraer inversiones”, agregó.\n\n\nLa líder opositora María Corina Machado, que está fuera del país desde que salió a fines del año pasado para recibir el premio Nobel de la Paz, parece estar al tanto del riesgo de que la catástrofe estanque los diálogos hacia una transición y anunció su intención de volver “muy pronto”.\n\n\n“Ha llegado el momento, es mi deber acompañar a mi pueblo, necesitamos estar juntos”, dijo en una entrevista con Fox News. Anteriormente, había declarado a CNN que su retorno depende de “razones de seguridad” y dijo que esas condiciones son discutidas directamente con Marco Rubio.\n\n\nLo que sigue para Venezuela tras los terremotos no es cuestión de semanas ni meses. La catástrofe representará pérdidas económicas equivalentes a US$ 6.700 millones, de acuerdo con una estimación del Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo (PNUD) publicada este viernes, lo que representa cerca del 6 % del PBI del país.\n\n\nIncluso antes de iniciar el proceso de reconstrucción, hay muchas decisiones difíciles por delante.\n\n\n“Comienza un tema complejo que apenas estamos viendo, es como pelar una cebolla. Los desafíos vienen en intentar poner orden, a pesar de que caiga mal en la población”, dijo Ramírez.\n\n\nLa presidenta encargada ordenó la militarización de La Guardia. De todos modos, el analista advirtió que “puede venir el caos” si el sistema no se aplica con éxito, con posibles saqueos o escenas de descontrol. “El estado a veces tarda en llegar o no llega con la fuerza que se necesita para poner orden”, insistió.\n\n\nLa réplica el lunes fue como un recordatorio del peligro latente en muchos inmuebles que quedaron en riesgo, con la complicada decisión de las autoridades de declararlos como inhabitables, lo que deja en la calle a miles de familias.\n\n\nPara Fernández, sería preferible que ese proceso sea encabezado por autoridades que tengan la confianza de la población. “Lo que está viendo Venezuela y vamos a ver en los próximos meses es una gran necesidad de reconstrucción. Esa necesidad no puede hacerla quien lleva la culpa de la tragedia. La reconstrucción necesitaría una legitimidad de la que carece (el Gobierno)”, señaló.\n\n\nLas autoridades por el momento no han respondido sobre fallas en las tareas de prevención y control, mientras el mensaje gira en torno a la magnitud excepcional del evento y enfatiza las acciones de respuesta, con un llamado a la unidad.\n\n\nEl apoyo militar se centra en el apoyo logístico de la emergencia, pero para Fernández, su impacto es insuficiente. “El Estado, cuando invertía en seguridad, era en represión, no era en seguridad real. Así como tuviste un abandono en fronteras, en temas de seguridad como narcotráfico, tienes un abandono de seguridad en términos de seguridad sísmica, en catástrofes que tradicionalmente hubiera sido un espacio para apoyarse en la Fuerza Armada, con los Cuerpos de Bomberos absolutamente desabastecidos”, expresó.\n\n\nEn esa línea, Ramírez agregó: “La gente se pregunta dónde está ese despliegue que había para poner orden cuando la gente salía a protestar pacíficamente. Si sacabas a mil personas para controlar una marcha, ¿dónde están para ayudar a sacar escombros?”.\n\n\nAdemás, remarcó que la crisis no cubre otras problemáticas que persisten en el país, sino que puede agravarlas.\n\n\n“En relación a la conflictividad social, el resto del país va a seguir despertándose con una cicatriz, exigiendo servicios públicos, el control de inflación”, expresó.\n\n\n“Delcy está obligada a moverse en dos aguas: el tablero de La Guaira como estado más crítico, pero el país que teníamos anteriormente, si bien está en una situación de saber que lo económico tiene que estabilizarse, también ve que el reloj del cambio político tiene que acelerarse”, agregó.\n\n\nEl llamado “Rodrigato”, si bien gana una posibilidad de comprar tiempo, queda con pocas posibilidades para salir fortalecido con el manejo de la catástrofe sísmica.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

(BGBT) and a person described as “dance cast captain.”\n\n\nThe three women have not spoken about their suit against Lizzo beyond interviews when it was initially filed in August 2023 and came together recently to talk exclusively with CNN.\n\n\nThey are watching this moment with mixed emotions. On one hand, they feel disappointed and traumatized following what they allege happened after they were hired for a job they felt was important, particularly as women with bigger bodies. On the other, they say they are determined to see the case through.\n\n\nTheir intention, they insist, was not to hurt their former boss, but rather to hold her accountable for the values she has publicly portrayed herself as holding.\n\n\n“I don’t really think it’s our place to discuss or even have an opinion on how her career is going at this point, when that wasn’t even our reason for filing in the first place,” Rodriguez said. “It was never a smear campaign. It was never to take somebody down. I think if anything, in retrospect, I’ve actually had some sadness in the fact that it has impacted her career.”\n\n\nLizzo’s attorney Melissa Glass said in a statement that the claims made in the suit “have no basis in reality.”\n\n\n“Not a single witness has come forward to support their allegations,” the statement read. “In fact, their claims were refuted by 18 witnesses, including most of the other dancers on ‘The Special Tour.’” Glass added, “we are confident that Lizzo will prevail in the case.”\n\n\nLizzo has other defenders.\n\n\nChawnta’ Van, who first danced with Lizzo in 2019 and worked with the three women who filed the lawsuit, said she felt “blindsided” and “heartbroken” by the allegations as she thought everyone on the tour “were all in this together, but apparently not.”\n\n\nAfter the suit was filed, Van said plans for all future performances with Lizzo ground to a halt.\n\n\n“As a dancer, we’re the lowest paid. We work gig by gig, literally,” said Van, who was connected to CNN through Lizzo’s attorneys. “So when all this stuff came out and everything got canceled, it was really hard.”\n\n\nA new moment\n\n\n\nWhen Lizzo burst on the scene in 2019, it seemed to herald, or at least symbolize, a new moment. Here was this force of musical prowess and personal charisma, living unapologetically as herself — and being celebrated for it. As a plus-sized Black woman, she inspired millions — and also saw her body unfairly used to litigate the issues of the day. She faced enormous scrutiny — and fought back in kind, like when she didn’t take criticism about her backside-bearing outfit causing a stir at a Laker game in 2019.\n\n\n“It doesn’t really matter what goes on on the internet, nothing really breaks my joy,” she said at the time. “I’m a really solid, grounded person, and I know that I’m shocking because you’ve never seen — in a long time — a body like mine doing whatever it wants to do and dressing the way that it dresses and moving the way that it moves.”\n\n\nThe claims in the lawsuit — which included allegations that the dancers felt pressured in going to nude shows and interacting with performers— stand at odds with Lizzo’s public image and message. “I feel like her whole brand, aside from body positivity, was positivity in general — uplifting women, especially uplifting women of color and just, you know, being kind to one another, being kind to yourself,” Williams said in an interview. “Her entire message and platform and her brand was the entire opposite whenever doors were closed, whenever we were in private meetings.”\n\n\nLizzo has denied the accusations. Shortly after the suit was filed, she posted a statement on social media calling the allegations “false” and “as unbelievable as they sound.”\n\n\n“I know what it feels like to be body shamed on a daily basis and would absolutely never criticize or terminate an employee because of their weight,” Lizzo wrote.\n\n\nIn the three years since it’s been filed, the lawsuit has been inching along, with both sides trading briefs and appeals, Ron Zambrano, a lawyer for the three women, said in an interview. Last year, a judge threw out the accusations of body shaming following a motion from Lizzo’s team that argued that events like the nude show outings were protected free speech as part of the creative process. Zambrano and his clients are currently waiting for a date from the California Court of Appeal to hear oral arguments.\n\n\nSpeaking to the “Today” show, Lizzo said she declined to settle the suit because “I’m a woman who is not afraid of the truth coming out, so I’m continuing to fight.”\n\n\nVibe shift\n\n\n\nMany fans were taken aback by the lawsuit and in the aftermath, the singer took breaks from social media. When she re-emerged in 2024, she was slimmer but still happy to show off her body, first in a sheer Jean Paul Gaultier black-and-white dress  and later on social media.\n\n\nThe same year, Lizzo said in a social media video that she was no longer vegan, having discovered that adding things like egg white cups and grilled chicken helped her feel better and achieve her weight loss goals. She went on to record a version of the “Baby Back Ribs” jingle for Chili’s, appearing in an ad playing a rib-shaped flute.\n\n\nThe turnaround has been striking. In a 2025 essay on Substack, Lizzo wrote that she began losing weight in 2023 after she became the “subject of a vicious scandal” that left her feeling depressed. “I needed a way to process my pain through my body, so I started with Pilates,” she wrote.\n\n\n“I was sick and tired of my identity being overshadowed by my fatness. People could not see my talent as a musician because they were too busy accusing me of making ‘being fat’ my whole personality,” she wrote. “I know that my story isn’t unique. I know that women in bigger bodies, especially black women in bigger bodies, have had this working against them since forever.”\n\n\nDuring a recent appearance on the podcast “In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele,” Lizzo took exception to celebs she felt had gotten too thin, which struck some as a “weight loss for me, but not for thee” moment from a woman who has long complained about others commenting on her body.\n\n\n“I don’t have criticism for the artists or these people who are losing all this weight as much as I have criticism for the system convincing them that their bodies aren’t good enough,” she said.\n\n\nTo the women who are suing her, the seemingly defiant woman who sometimes says and does things that seem to contradict her public persona is the person they came to know.\n\n\n“It wasn’t the weight loss that’s kind of made her abandon her fans. She kind of abandoned them from the beginning,” Williams said. “You are starting to see it a little bit more, but this is who she’s been since day one, sadly. So I don’t think this is something new. This is her genuine character at the core and at the heart.”\n\n\n“What’s complicated about Lizzo is Lizzo did make her body size part of her brand,” said Tigress Osborn, executive director of the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance (NAAFA). There’s also the fact that Lizzo is a Black woman, the activist said.\n\n\n“What Lizzo got was the magical Black friend dynamic,” Osborn said. “That Hollywood trope about like the magical Black friend who’s going make your life bigger by inspiring you and helping you.”\n\n\nNow not only does Lizzo have an allegation of fat shaming lingering from her past, but she herself is no longer as deeply relatable to the plus-sized community with her body transformation.\n\n\n“If you want your fans to relate to you as a person, then you have to be a person, not a brand,” said Osborn, who is clear that people have a right to be whatever size they wish. “If you want your fans to relate to you as a brand, then brand loyalty ends when the brand changes.”\n\n\nHaving worked with Lizzo since 2020, keyboard player Lynette Williams insisted the weight loss happened because the singer “just wants to be healthier.”\n\n\nLynette Williams, who is herself plus size and was also referred to CNN by Lizzo’s attorney, added: “It’s not about trying to conform to what society thinks.”\n\n\nShe also thinks the suit played a larger factor in the low sales for Lizzo’s latest effort. Of the music itself on the album, she said, “I think it’s fire.”\n\n\nDreams dashed\n\n\n\nWatching Lizzo’s re-emergence has been harrowing for the three plaintiffs. They say they have not chosen to listen to her music.\n\n\nThe three dancers had been overjoyed when they joined Lizzo’s troupe, excited to show that “big girls” had the moves to match their curves.\n\n\nDavis said dancing for Lizzo — her “first professional dance job out the gate” — was her “dream job.”\n\n\n“I was like, this is amazing,” Davis said. “And then to have the actions play out the way they did was really devastating.”\n\n\nLike Crystal Williams, Davis had been a contestant on Lizzo’s Amazon reality show “Watch Out for the Big Grrrls” which centered around the star finding plus-sized dancers for her tour.\n\n\nRodriguez was a more established dancer and had appeared in the 2021 music video for Lizzo’s single “Rumors.”\n\n\nThe events of the past few years have impacted their careers. They worry about their reputations. Rodriguez, who has shifted more into acting, said she’s considering going back to school and pursuing law because of the experience. Crystal Williams said that, like their former employer, they are eager for the facts to be heard.\n\n\n“We want chance and an opportunity for her to be held accountable. We want the facts to come out, we want evidence to come out,” she said. “We want to be able to address the truth just as much as she does. So we’re ready to see it through.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

They are like traditional IRAs in that money in the accounts will grow tax deferred. But the rules for Trump Accounts differ when it comes to contributions, withdrawals and approved uses of the money. Also, the money may not be tapped before a child turns 18.\n\n\nThe accounts didn’t initially plan for children in foster care — because they must be opened by an “authorized individual,” who is typically a parent or other family member named as a legal guardian — until child welfare advocates brought the issue to first lady Melania Trump’s office.\n\n\nThe first lady, who has used her second term to, in part, shine a light on children in the foster care system, appeared at the Treasury Department earlier this month to announce “Fostering the Future Accounts” and offer updated guidance that allows state child welfare agencies and foster youth representatives to set up the accounts for those children.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Still, a surprising number of attendees at the city’s bi-annual Men’s Fashion Week proved their commitment to a look and arrived in mind-boggling layers: funnel-neck jackets, jeans, even a fur shawl. Professionally styled celebrities, models and servers perhaps fared the worst in the historic heatwave, wearing what had been decided weeks earlier, from the claustrophobic latex stockings and trench coat Connor Storrie wore to the Saint Laurent show, to the poor waiters dressed in full horse costumes at the Acne Papers garden party in the Palais Royal. One hard-as-nails publicist working the door at a show on Saturday said they were powering through heatstroke.\n\n\nOut on the runway the broad suggestion from the big designers about what men should wear next summer was equally head-scratching: suede suits, coats and fur-lined pyjama tops-turned-jackets at Dior, thick bomber jackets at Kenzo, as well as suede trousers, leather jackets, fur-trimmed padded coats and parkas at Louis Vuitton. At Sarah Burton’s menswear debut for Givenchy, the textile du jour appeared to be leather: trousers and rugby shirts were cut from it and styled together, while leather tracksuits in black, red, orange, zingy yellow, green and blue filled an entire room, a reissue of the version Timothée Chalamet loves to wear.\n\n\nThere is always a suspension of disbelief required in luxury fashion, as designers use the runway to communicate their most extravagant, pie-in-the-sky vision of what clothes could be. But as the extreme heat disrupted the schedule, moving both the Dior and Rick Owen’s show to morning slots, and forced PR teams to moonlight as wellness officers by handing out hand-fans, ice lollies, instant cooling packs and sun-shade umbrellas, the fantasy for many began to wither.\n\n\n“I feel hotter and hotter as I’m watching,” said French actor Antoine, who kept cool in a tall Stetson hat at the Dries Van Noten show on Friday. “I think fashion is really good at, whether it’s by accident or on purpose, creating metaphors,” said i-D editor-in-chief Thom Bettridge at the Issey Miyake show, wearing a blue New York Yankees baseball cap and a babushka-style floral headscarf tied under his chin — a sunburn prevention technique he picked up from the older women in his life. “I think a bunch of people sweating into oblivion, watching clothes on the runway get trotted out, it’s a perfect metaphor for what our world is facing right now.”\n\n\nHeatwaves are by nature an anomaly and the collections shown during fashion week are designed months in advance. But Europe is now the fastest-warming continent on Earth, heating up at a rate of twice the global average. The UN predicts the next 5 years will break even more temperature records. Should designers, who work in an industry that is one of the biggest culprits for greenhouse gas emissions, at least be making clothes that people could reasonably aspire to wear in the hellfire summers to come? Or should we just submit to the heat-induced reverie?\n\n\n“I want to see ridiculous things,” said Hero Magazine fashion editor-at-large Davey Sutton at the Rick Owens show, where the coolest offering was an inflatable jumpsuit with a built-in fan made in collaboration with Adidas (the design was resurrected from the sports brand’s archives, where it was used to cool off runners).  “Everything sucks. There’s war, there’s famine, there’s genocide,” Sutton said. “Let’s have some fantasy and let’s forget about all of that garbage momentarily and see some fun things.”\n\n\n“I think it’s legitimate for designers to not have commercial stuff on the runway, because that’s in the showroom,” said Achtung Magazine editor-in-chief Markus Ebner. “Don’t get fooled by what you see on the runway as a serious proposition for the season.” But others saw the fantasy argument as a cop out. One seatmate at a Sunday show called the vibe of the week tone deaf.\n\n\nAndreas Murkudis, whose eponymous concept store in Berlin stocks over 200 brands, called the disconnect “a big problem,” adding that climate change has all but eliminated transitional seasons therefore shortening the window for retailers to actually sell Spring-Summer clothes. “In Berlin, it’s cold until the end of March,” Murkudis said at his Paris pop-up store Tokyo Sense on Friday. “And then the summer comes immediately. It’s not like years before, where we had maybe 15, 18, 25 degrees. It goes from 15 to 35. So you don’t need (jackets, trousers), you only need tank tops.”\n\n\nBackstage at his pared-back menswear show Bulgarian designer Kiko Kostadinov, who is celebrating 10 years of his brand, hinted at the challenge of being a global label catering to all hemispheres in one collection. “We try to use less materials in the collection, so that naturally leads to using a material that’s more versatile,” said Kostadinov, who used a mix of silk crepes, mohair and silk wool for his Spring-Summer 2027 offering of floaty tunics and airy button-down shirts. “It’s summer here, but it’s semi winter somewhere else, and vice versa… You don’t really think about that when starting a brand.”\n\n\nThe chatter at shows often danced around the fact that the clothes on many of the runways seemed unfit for purpose, unless your life lets you hopscotch from air-controlled apartments to air-cooled cars into air-conditioned restaurants — infrastructure that is almost non-existent in Paris and much of Europe. Beyond luxury fashion’s astronomical price tag, it seemed a new form of elitism blossomed on the runway: Air-conditioned apparel. “As long as we’re in a climate-controlled environment, anything goes,” said Desmond, a personal shopper from Charleston who arrived at the Rick Owens show in 91 Farenheit heat wearing an enormous pair of cascading leather boots.\n\n\nBut some designers did manage to create beautiful, interesting garments without sacrificing practicality, and were even able to whip up a desire to get dressed during a temperature that makes an enemy of clothes. The Issey Miyake’s label IM Men, one of fashion’s more avant-garde, high-concept brands, was ironically a top contender for most sensible with billowing suits in gauzy brown fabric, lightweight soft-shouldered blazers styled shirtless and with shorts in a key-lime pie green, chic shrouds in a fine-weft that blanket the body but don’t cling. Julian Klausner, who showed coquettish silky boxer shorts, backless silk spaghetti strap tops and wafter-thin shirts in Instagrammable sunset ombres for Dries Van Noten, told journalists backstage this season started with the desire to do something “light, airy and delicate.”\n\n\nBut in general, it was the smaller, younger brands which felt more connected to life on the ground — and their clothes could handle the heat. Tigra Tigra, the Los Angeles-based womenswear brand helmed by Bailey Hunter and worn by Solange and Clairo, geared its collection around a tropical wetland “on the hottest night of a monsoon summer.” Dresses, skirts and silky separates made from Mashroo (a 700-year old hand-woven satin) were offered up as “clothes for moving through dense heat long after dark.” One of the strongest collections of the week came from 2025 LVMH Prize winner Soshiotsuki, who made his Paris debut on Saturday evening at the Institut National de Jeunes Sourds de Paris. The Japanese tailor, whose biggest hero is the late Giorgio Armani, transformed linen suits from the ill-fitting, crumpled and frumpy summer wedding guest option into something sleek and essential.\n\n\nCamiel Fortgens, the Dutch designer behind the eponymous brand, who staged his Sunday runway on the sidewalk outside Uno, a cafe around the corner from the Bourse de Commerce, seemed to tap into something as rare as ground water in a dustbowl: smart, cool, wearable clothes that don’t rely on fantasy. There were light organza-style dresses in a shade of pink engineered to recall a rogue red sock getting chucked in with the whites, a starched quarter-zip fashioned out of what looked like linen and chunky soles glued onto Birkenstock footbeds to make freaky, semi-platformed versions of Germany’s best and ugliest sandal. Backstage, Fortgens said street style was his first love. “I always took pictures of people, and that was my Instagram. Just pictures of people on the street… Especially the old people,” he said. “I like that natural evolution in clothing, and I wanted that (this season), it’s like you just put it on. Not too styled.”\n\n\nThe result? Utterly refreshing.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

(Police had earlier identified one victim as a 26-year-old.)\n\n\nThe sisters, who were raising the toddler together, were kind and hardworking, their brother, Demarco Bailey, told CNN affiliate WAPT.\n\n\n“I just need justice,” Bailey said. “Not only for my sisters, but my nephew. He’s only 2 1/2 years old. Come on now — a 2-year-old child?”\n\n\nAll three victims had multiple gunshot wounds, Howard told CNN, adding that the crime scene was one of the worst he has seen in about 10 years of working as a coroner and a deputy coroner.\n\n\n“Every first responder from the fire department, to every police officer out there, was visibly affected by just how heinous and violent this this crime was,” Howard said.\n\n\nAs of Monday afternoon, authorities do not appear to know who killed the victims. CNN has reached out to the Jackson Police Department for additional information.\n\n\n“Detectives are continuing to seek leads on identification and location of suspects,” police said in a Sunday news release.\n\n\nOn Saturday, officials found what Jackson Police Chief RaShall Brackney called a “horrifying” scene after a 911 call reporting an aggravated assault at a home in a residential neighborhood less than 10 miles northwest of downtown Jackson.\n\n\n“This is a heinous crime,” Brackney said at a news conference Sunday morning, calling the person responsible “an absolute coward” and “the vilest of human beings.”\n\n\nThe latest lead in the case is a red 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage belonging to one of the victims, which police said was taken from the scene during the crime. Police found the abandoned vehicle Sunday night in North Jackson. Investigators are processing the vehicle for evidence, according to a Facebook post from police.\n\n\nRecent rise in gun violence\n\n\n\nIn the days preceding the shooting, the City of Jackson has seen a rise in “gun-related violence, shootings, and senseless loss of life” Mayor John Horhn said in a statement Sunday.\n\n\nThe mayor said he is working to deploy “additional resources” for the community alongside police and the city’s public safety team.\n\n\n“Over the next few days, we will present a plan that brings together law enforcement, community leaders, violence prevention experts, mental health professionals, our faith community, and leaders from communities that are impacted the most by these crimes,” he added.\n\n\nThe killings are the city’s 39th, 40th and 41st homicides of the year, according to the Jackson Police Department.\n\n\nLaw enforcement data compiled by CNN affiliate WLBT shows 38 of those 41 homicides reported by Jackson police in 2026 were the result of a shooting.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

To subscribe, click here.\n\n\nWelcome to the first full week of World Cup knockout matches, where dreams will be made and hearts broken all across North America and the world. The jeopardy of knockout soccer only adds to the intensity and this is where the weaker teams get found out. There is nowhere to hide anymore and it usually contributes to pure cinema.\n\n\nWe have three Round of 32 matches again for you today, including two that will really whet the appetite – involving the likes of five-time world champion Brazil. But while some are getting excited for the week’s action, others are running out of patience until we see the big heavyweights come face-to-face. And that’s where we’ll start today.\n\n\nThe Main Thing: Is the Round of 32 good for the World Cup?\n\n\n\nWe love a debate here on The Beautiful Game. Can the USA win the World Cup? Are the silly hydration breaks a good or bad thing? And today, we have another: Does the Round of 32 make this World Cup better?\n\n\nLet me lay it out.\n\n\nDue to there being a record 48 teams at this year’s tournament, FIFA has had to include a new knockout round. Instead of going straight to the Last 16, as has been tradition over the last few decades, we now have the Round of 32 as an extra layer to enjoy. Only, not everyone is looking forward to it.\n\n\nThe extra round naturally means more teams qualify for the knockouts, including both the group winner and runner-up, as well as the eight best third-place finishers.\n\n\nSome critics say the bloated number of teams lowers the overall quality of the knockout rounds, which have been very competitive in the past. And, in truth, the first Round of 32 match didn’t do much to dispel that theory yesterday.\n\n\nAlthough Canada beat South Africa with a dramatic late goal in that contest, the game was a bit of a slog. Neither team showed much quality and both struggled to create many clear-cut opportunities to excite the neutral. It was clear, from the opening exchanges, that neither is a serious contender.\n\n\nBut there are plenty who have praised the extended World Cup, and I think I’m probably one of them.\n\n\nThis new round has given the chance for some smaller nations to taste knockout soccer. Although a forgettable match for many, both Canada and South Africa were playing in their very first World Cup knockout fixture. This new round allowed their fans to celebrate making history.\n\n\nWe’ll also see the likes of Cape Verde play reigning champion Argentina later this week, arguably the most exciting match of the tournament so far, pitting Lionel Messi against the fairytale team of the summer.\n\n\nAnd, of today’s three matches, we have two very appealing ties involving the likes of Japan, Brazil, the Netherlands and Morocco.\n\n\nSo while I get the criticism and I think the extra round does slow down the process of getting to the nitty-gritty, it also creates some brilliant storylines which, in my opinion, makes it worth it. What do you think?\n\n\nJapan vs. Brazil\n\n\n\nWhen? 1 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Houston Stadium (NRG Stadium), Houston, Texas, USA\n\n\nWhen Japan faces Brazil in the Round of 32 later today, there will be genuine confidence in some parts of the world that the Asian side can beat the five-time world champion.\n\n\nOver recent years, Japan has become comfortable in the company of the world’s elite and actually beat the Brazilians 3-2 in a friendly last year.\n\n\nIt’s been a steady start to the World Cup for the Samurai Blue, though, with two draws and a win enough to see them qualify out of Group F in second.\n\n\nBrazil will be a tough challenge, probably its toughest so far this summer. Despite not quite clicking in the opening matches, it feels like manager Carlo Ancelotti has found a formation to help the Seleção gel.\n\n\nA 3-0 win against Scotland in its last game helped secure top spot in Group C for the Canarinho and demonstrated how potent it can be. Yes, the Scots played poorly, but Brazil’s brilliant roster of attacking talent capitalized on mistakes with frightening efficiency. Manchester United forward Matheus Cunha looks to be reveling in the lineup now and could be a key player in his nation’s success going forward.\n\n\nNot to mention, you have Real Madrid star Vinícius Jr. firing on all cylinders with four goals and one assist, becoming the fifth Brazilian ever to score in each group stage match, according to ESPN. Even more ominous? The Seleção won the World Cup each edition that happened…\n\n\nThis is the game of the day and one you cannot afford to miss.\n\n\nGermany vs. Paraguay\n\n\n\nWhen? 4:30 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Boston Stadium (Gillette Stadium), Foxborough, Massachusetts, USA\n\n\nParaguay is one of the eight teams that benefitted from the new format that allows the best third-place finishers to progress into the knockout stages.\n\n\nA heavy defeat against the USA started its World Cup campaign in the worst possible way, but a shock 1-0 win against struggling Turkey was just the response it needed. A drab 0-0 draw with Australia in its last group game was enough to see it through to the last 32 where it now faces its biggest test to date.\n\n\nGermany is far better than any of the teams Paraguay has played so far, on paper at least. And despite going into this tournament unfancied, the European heavyweight won its first two matches of the competition. A 2-1 defeat to Ecuador, when the Germans knew they were already through, took the luster off a touch, but the four-time World Cup winner proved it will be a dangerous team this summer.\n\n\nThe question is: Can Paraguay pull off another shock result in a World Cup which has seen several already?\n\n\nQuote of the Day\n\n\n\nThe words from Canada manager Jesse Marsch after his team beat South Africa to progress into the Round of 16.\n\n\nMarsch delivered this rousing speech while still on the pitch, huddled together with his team of history-makers.\n\n\nRead more about how the game played out here.\n\n\nWATCH: Iran’s unlucky World Cup\n\n\n\nNow officially out of the World Cup, it seems that the odds were stacked against Iran’s team. CNN Sports’ Don Riddell shares why.\n\n\nThe Japanese star born in the USA\n\n\n\nIf Japan is to beat Brazil in the Round of 32 later today, then goalkeeper Zion Suzuki will need to have another brilliant performance.\n\n\nThe 23-year-old has fast become one of the most important players in the Samurai Blue, marshaling the Japanese goal with a calming presence throughout the tournament so far. It’s a run of form that has seen rumors spread about potential transfers to some of the world’s biggest clubs, away from his current team – Parma – in Italy.\n\n\nAnd while Suzuki says playing for Japan is “my biggest motivation,” his international career could have looked very different.\n\n\nThat’s because Suzuki was actually born in the US and therefore could have been representing the USA at this year’s tournament. But despite spending his early years in the US, it wasn’t long until the family moved to Japan where his mother is from.\n\n\nSuzuki quickly fell in love with soccer and began playing for Japanese youth teams before making his senior national team debut in 2022. He’s since established himself as one of the best players on the squad, filling a role which has often been a weak point for his country.\n\n\nHis journey hasn’t been without setbacks, though. Last year, the goalkeeper suffered a broken left hand, which cast doubt over his fitness levels for this tournament. But day by day, match by match, the youngster has returned better than ever and he’s having a World Cup to remember.\n\n\nNetherlands vs. Morocco\n\n\n\nWhen? 9 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Estadio Monterrey (Estadio BBVA), Guadalupe, Mexico\n\n\nWhile there has been a lot of criticism about the quality of matches we’ll likely see in the Round of 32, this is a game that could quite easily be a quarterfinal (at least).\n\n\nBoth teams are serious contenders to go deep into this competition, with Morocco reaching the semifinals in 2022 – and controversially being declared African champion earlier this year – and the Netherlands reaching the final four of the most recent Euros.\n\n\nBefore a ball was kicked this summer, German mathematician Joachim Klement explained to CNN why his economic model was predicting the Dutch side would win the World Cup and we’ve seen little so far to really doubt that theory.\n\n\nThe Oranje finished top of their group with two big wins and a draw against Japan, a record they will be relatively pleased with, led by striker Brian Brobbey who looks to finally be fulfilling his potential.\n\n\nMorocco, meanwhile, played really well in spells throughout the group stage but would often fail to really capitalize on its dominance. A 4-2 win against Haiti in their last game will likely be good for the Atlas Lions’ confidence ahead of this huge clash south of the border.\n\n\nThe Final Whistle: Can the USA win the World Cup? At least one expert says they can\n\n\n\nTo finish off, I’m going to let you peek behind the curtain of our CNN Sports department for a moment.\n\n\nBefore a ball was kicked, no one in our team thought the USA could win the tournament – including the Americans. Now, three games in, there is genuine discussion about how far the Red, White and Blue can go.\n\n\nFrom my view, here in London, I think there is genuinely no chance. The team just isn’t good enough and hasn’t played anyone of note yet. But I’ve watched as more and more of my colleagues in the US have started believing that a miracle could, maybe, happen. In truth, I’ve probably been jealous of that hope as my team, England, continues to underperform.\n\n\nAnd it seems that my colleagues are not alone. Former US star Landon Donovan spoke to CNN Sports’ Patrick Snell recently and told him how he believes the team can win the entire World Cup. The first hurdle in this near-impossible challenge comes against Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32 on Wednesday.\n\n\n“If you win that game, in the round of 32, you’re playing a good team. You win that game and you’re in the quarters and you’re playing one of the big eight teams in the world,” he said.\n\n\n“So, can they beat all of those teams? Yes, they absolutely can. Can they do it one after another after another after another, emotionally get up for it? I think they can.”\n\n\nIt feels like I’m becoming increasingly alone on my island of doubt this summer. I’m not sure I could face the team meeting if I was proved wrong… (Spanish editor’s note: Me neither…) (American editor’s note: Can’t wait!)\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Jean Carroll, a decision that means the president will now have to pay the magazine columnist.\n\n\nCarroll sued Trump in 2019 for defamation and then she sued him again in 2022 for defamation and battery after New York enacted a law allowing the victims of sexual abuse to file civil claims for past incidents. In an unusual quirk, the second case — the one filed in 2022 — went to trial first and the jury awarded Carroll $5 million.\n\n\nThe 2019 case went to trial second and resulted in an $83 million judgment against Trump. Including interest, Trump owes Carroll over $100 million in all.\n\n\n“Today’s Supreme Court decision affirms once and for all the jury’s unanimous verdict that President Donald J. Trump sexually assaulted and defamed E. Jean Carroll,” Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, said. “His multiple efforts to appeal that verdict have all failed and today’s ruling ends his quest to avoid accountability for his actions.”\n\n\nCarroll’s 2022 lawsuit alleged that he sexually assaulted her in a New York department store in the mid-1990s and defamed her by claiming she made up the story to boost sales of a book. Trump, who has repeatedly denied wrongdoing, has claimed US District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who oversaw the civil trial, made numerous errors by allowing the jury to hear testimony from two women who alleged Trump sexually assaulted them years ago.\n\n\nTrump also argued that the judge should not have let the jurors see the “Access Hollywood tape,” which captured Trump in 2005 on a hot mic saying he gropes and kisses women.\n\n\n“You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything, … Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything,” Trump was heard saying on the recording.\n\n\nA spokesman for the president’s legal team said in a statement Monday, that the “American People stand with President Trump as they demand an immediate end to all of the Witch Hunts, including the Democrat-funded travesty of the Carroll Hoaxes.”\n\n\n“President Trump will keep winning against Liberal Lawfare, as he continues to focus on his mission to Make America Great Again,” the statement went on.\n\n\nLast year, the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the jury’s $5 million verdict against Trump, ruling the trial judge did not make errors that would warrant a new trial. In June 2025, Trump lost an effort to have the appeal reviewed by the full bench of judges and, months later, he appealed to the Supreme Court.\n\n\n“It is deeply damaging to the fabric of our republic for President Trump, in the midst of a historic presidency, to have to take his focus away from his singular and unique duties as chief executive to continue fighting against decades-old, false allegations and the myriad wrongs throughout this baseless case,” the president’s attorneys told the Supreme Court in a January filing. “This mistreatment of a President cannot be allowed to stand.”\n\n\nThe appeal was delayed for months at the Supreme Court, which repeatedly set it for discussion and then rescheduled that discussion. As always, the court did not explain its reasoning for the hold up. Trump’s attorneys are expected to appeal the $83 million verdict to the Supreme Court in coming days.\n\n\nIn a technical brief at the Supreme Court dealing with rules of evidence, Carroll’s attorneys focused largely on the 2nd Circuit decision upholding the verdict.\n\n\n“The court’s duty was simply to decide whether a jury could reasonably find by a preponderance of the evidence that Mr. Trump committed an act of sexual assault,” a three-judge panel of the 2nd Circuit, all three of whom were appointed by Democratic presidents, ruled unanimously. “If it could so find, the court had the discretion to admit the evidence.”\n\n\nTrump transferred $5.5 million to a court-controlled account in 2023 following the jury verdict so Carroll is likely to receive the cash relatively quickly.\n\n\nCarroll’s lawyer could not immediately be reached for comment.\n\n\nThis story was updated with more information.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Comcast prevé completar el proceso en aproximadamente un año.\n\n\nEl anuncio de la separación fue bien recibido por los inversores; las acciones de Comcast subieron más de un 20 % en las operaciones previas a la apertura del mercado.\n\n\nLas acciones de la empresa han tenido dificultades en los últimos años, reflejando el escepticismo de Wall Street respecto a su combinación de contenidos y distribución, así como su capacidad para competir con empresas como Netflix.\n\n\nLos ejecutivos de Comcast reconocen que el mercado premia a las empresas especializadas en un solo sector. Por ello, 15 años después de adquirir NBCUniversal con gran despliegue publicitario, están deshaciendo dicha combinación.\n\n\nComcast se convertirá más bien en una empresa centrada exclusivamente en banda ancha y servicios inalámbricos, mientras que NBC pasará a ser uno de los mayores propietarios de contenidos.\n\n\nComcast cuenta con experiencia reciente en este tipo de separaciones: en enero escindió la mayoría de sus canales de cable, incluidos CNBC y MS NOW.\n\n\nLos analistas del sector han pronosticado más operaciones corporativas tras la adquisición pendiente de Warner Bros. Discovery (empresa matriz de CNN) por parte de Paramount. Sin embargo, resulta mucho más difícil prever qué forma adoptará dicha actividad.\n\n\nEstá previsto que, durante la mañana de este lunes, Comcast presente los detalles del plan de separación a los inversores más tarde. La empresa anunció que Mike Cavanagh, su actual co CEO, asumirá el cargo de director ejecutivo de la nueva NBCUniversal, que también incluirá a Sky, compañía que hasta ahora había operado mayoritariamente de forma independiente.\n\n\nMichael Angelakis, exdirector financiero de Comcast, se reincorporará a la empresa para dirigir la futura versión de Comcast una vez que se escindan los activos de medios.\n\n\nComcast es conocida principalmente por ofrecer servicios de internet de banda ancha a decenas de millones de hogares estadounidenses. Asimismo, cuenta con un negocio de telefonía móvil en expansión y provee tecnología a otras empresas del sector.\n\n\nLa familia Roberts mantendrá el control, y Brian Roberts “seguirá participando activamente en ambas compañías, colaborando estrechamente con Mike y Michael y centrándose en las nuevas áreas de crecimiento, creatividad y oportunidades que generará esta nueva estructura”, según indicaba un memorando dirigido a los empleados.\n\n\nEsta noticia está en desarrollo y se actualizará.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Jean Carroll, lo que significa que deberá pagar US$ 5 millones a la excolumnista. Los magistrados también denegaron la apelación por difamación de Alan Dershowitz contra CNN.\n\n\nLa Corte Suprema ratificó el lunes las leyes estatales que permiten el recuento de las boletas por correo que lleguen después del día de las elecciones, un inesperado revés para los ataques del presidente Donald Trump contra el voto por correo.\n\n\nLa corte rechazó los argumentos de los republicanos de que esta práctica, adoptada por más de una docena de estados, contraviene las leyes federales que fijan el día de las elecciones en noviembre. El presidente ha equiparado repetidamente y de forma falsa los largos recuentos de votos con el “fraude”, incluso en una reciente entrevista con NBC en la que se quejó del procesamiento de boletas en la contienda por la alcaldía de Los Ángeles.\n\n\nLa Corte Suprema revisará la legalidad de las depuraciones masivas de votantes en las últimas semanas antes de las elecciones, como parte de un caso más amplio que los magistrados están examinando sobre los métodos que utiliza Arizona para excluir a los no ciudadanos del padrón electoral.\n\n\nLa disputa no se resolverá antes de las elecciones de mitad de mandato, pero intensifica los esfuerzos de los republicanos por endurecer las normas electorales ante las acusaciones infundadas del presidente Donald Trump de fraude electoral masivo.\n\n\nLos magistrados examinarán el alcance de la Ley Nacional de Registro de Votantes, una ley de 1993 que rige la forma en que los estados mantienen sus padrones electorales. Si bien gran parte del caso se centra en los procedimientos específicos de Arizona para verificar la ciudadanía de los votantes, la disputa también plantea una cuestión con implicaciones a nivel nacional sobre cuándo los funcionarios electorales pueden depurar los padrones.\n\n\nLa Corte Suprema respaldó el lunes la destitución de un miembro de la Comisión Federal de Comercio por parte del presidente Donald Trump, una victoria sustancial para el esfuerzo sin precedentes de la administración por consolidar el poder dentro del poder ejecutivo. Esta decisión tendrá profundas implicaciones para áreas del gobierno que el Congreso pretendía operar con independencia de la política presidencial.\n\n\nLa Corte Suprema rechazó el lunes el intento del presidente Donald Trump de destituir de inmediato a la gobernadora de la Reserva Federal, Lisa Cook.\n\n\nEl presidente del Tribunal Supremo, John Roberts, redactó la opinión mayoritaria de 5 a 4.\n\n\nLa Corte Suprema rechazó el lunes la apelación del presidente Donald Trump contra el veredicto de $5 millones que lo declaró culpable de abuso sexual y difamación contra E. Jean Carroll. Esta decisión implica que el presidente deberá pagarle a la columnista.\n\n\nTrump transfirió $5.5 millones a una cuenta controlada por la corte en 2023 tras el veredicto del jurado, por lo que es probable que Carroll reciba el dinero con relativa rapidez.\n\n\nLa Corte Suprema aceptó el lunes revisar una apelación de padres en Washington que buscan impugnar las leyes estatales que permiten que menores fugados reciban atención médica transgénero sin el aviso de sus padres.\n\n\nAl aceptar la apelación, la Corte, de mayoría conservadora (6-3), aborda los derechos de las personas transgénero por tercera vez en tres años.\n\n\nEl problema radica en una serie de disposiciones que el estado de Washington promulgó en 2023, las cuales, según el estado, buscan abordar la crisis de jóvenes transgénero sin hogar. Una de estas disposiciones exime a los albergues para personas sin hogar de la obligación de notificar a los padres si un menor busca atención médica para personas transgénero.\n\n\nUn grupo de padres alegó que esta y otras disposiciones violaban sus derechos parentales. Tribunales inferiores, incluyendo el Noveno Circuito de Apelaciones de Estados Unidos, concluyeron que los padres carecían de legitimación activa para demandar, ya que no podían demostrar un daño concreto basado en un posible perjuicio futuro. Los padres solicitaron a la Corte Suprema que permitiera que su demanda prosiguiera.\n\n\n“Al considerar a los padres como el problema, Washington aprobó leyes que atacan deliberadamente a ciertos padres, sustituyéndolos por el estado en el contexto de menores fugados con confusión de género”, declararon los padres ante la Corte Suprema en su apelación.\n\n\nFuncionarios de Washington afirmaron que los demandantes han malinterpretado la ley y solo han presentado “una serie de eventos hipotéticos para alegar que podrían, posiblemente, sufrir daños en algún momento futuro no especificado”.\n\n\nEs probable que el tribunal escuche los argumentos del caso antes de que termine el año y dicte sentencia el próximo verano.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

When a full moon occurs near apogee, it’s often called a micromoon — and June’s will be the second smallest of 2026.\n\n\nWhile the moon will appear slightly smaller, the difference will be hardly noticeable to the naked eye, according to Dr. Pamela Gay, senior scientist at the Planetary Science Institute.\n\n\nTo get the best view of the low-hanging strawberry moon, head outside and “find a dark spot free of obstructions — so tall buildings, trees, things like that,” recommends Noah Petro, chief of NASA’s Planetary Geology, Geophysics and Geochemistry Lab at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.\n\n\nA moon of varying hue\n\n\n\nThe lunar phenomenon’s name derives from Native American Algonquin tribes, which named the event for the full moon’s alignment with berry harvesting season. The Western Abenaki know it as the hoer moon and the Anishinaabe as the blooming moon, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac.  \n\n\nObservers of June’s full moon may notice that it appears to change color. The celestial body’s hue, however, does not actually change.\n\n\n“Our moon itself is a color and that color is decided by the mineralogy, the way sunlight reflects off of it,” said Gay. But the catch, she added, is that the light reflecting off the moon has to pass through Earth’s atmosphere to reach our eyes — and the color of that light can change slightly depending on what’s in the atmosphere.\n\n\nIn areas that experience major air pollution, the strawberry moon can appear to be a warmer hue, richer in color,\n\n\nThis year’s strawberry moon comes with heightened excitement about lunar exploration, just months after the Artemis II mission successfully sent a quartet of astronauts around the far side of the moon. With anticipation building for the next Artemis mission, which could launch as soon as late next year, and the prospect of a moon landing in the offing after that, some experts recommend viewing sky-gazing opportunities as a way to explore Earth’s deepening connection to our satellite and beyond.\n\n\n“We’re about to send humans back to the moon with Artemis. In a couple years, we’ll have astronauts landing on the moon,” Petro said. “Now is the time to start building up that relationship with the moon. And the easiest way to do that is just to go out and look up.”\n\n\nUpcoming Full Moons\n\n\n\nThere are six additional full moons to view in 2026, including supermoons in November and December, when the moon is closest to Earth in its orbit and appears largest.\n\n\nHere’s the list of the remaining full moons, according to Farmers’ Almanac.\n\n\nJuly 29: Buck Moon\nAugust 28: Sturgeon Moon\nSeptember 26: Harvest Moon\nOctober 26: Hunter’s Moon\nNovember 24: Beaver Moon\nDecember 23: Cold Moon\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Jean Carroll y lo condenó a pagar US$ 5 millones. La decisión significa que el presidente ahora deberá pagar esa suma a la excolumnista de una revista.\n\n\nCarroll demandó a Trump en 2019 por difamación y volvió a demandarlo en 2022 por difamación y agresión tras la entrada en vigor de una ley de Nueva York que permitió a las víctimas de abuso sexual presentar demandas civiles por hechos ocurridos en el pasado. En una circunstancia inusual, el caso presentado en 2022 fue el primero en llegar a juicio y el jurado otorgó a Carroll una indemnización de US$ 5 millones. Ese es el caso que la Corte Suprema aceptó revisar.\n\n\nEl caso presentado en 2019 fue juzgado después y terminó con un fallo que ordenó a Trump pagar US$ 83 millones. Con los intereses incluidos, Trump adeuda a Carroll más de US$ 100 millones en total.\n\n\nLa demanda de 2022 sostenía que Trump agredió sexualmente a Carroll en una tienda por departamentos de Nueva York a mediados de la década de 1990 y luego la difamó al afirmar que ella había inventado la historia para impulsar las ventas de un libro. Trump, que ha negado reiteradamente haber cometido irregularidades, argumentó que el juez federal Lewis Kaplan, quien presidió el juicio civil, cometió varios errores al permitir que el jurado escuchara el testimonio de dos mujeres que afirmaron haber sido agredidas sexualmente por Trump años atrás.\n\n\nTrump también sostuvo que el juez no debió permitir que el jurado viera la grabación de “Access Hollywood”, en la que se escucha a Trump decir en 2005, con un micrófono abierto, que besa y manosea a las mujeres.\n\n\n“Sabes, me siento automáticamente atraído por las mujeres hermosas. Simplemente empiezo a besarlas. Es como un imán. Solo las beso. Ni siquiera espero. Y cuando eres una estrella, ellas te dejan hacerlo. Puedes hacer cualquier cosa… Agarrarlas por la vagina. Puedes hacer cualquier cosa”, se escucha decir a Trump en la grabación.\n\n\nEl año pasado, la Corte de Apelaciones del Segundo Circuito de EE.UU. confirmó el veredicto del jurado que ordenó a Trump pagar US$ 5 millones, al concluir que el juez del juicio no cometió errores que justificaran un nuevo proceso. En junio de 2025, Trump perdió un intento para que la apelación fuera revisada por el pleno de los jueces del circuito y, meses después, acudió a la Corte Suprema.\n\n\n“Es profundamente perjudicial para el tejido de nuestra república que el presidente Trump, en medio de una presidencia histórica, tenga que apartar su atención de sus responsabilidades únicas como jefe del Poder Ejecutivo para seguir defendiendo acusaciones falsas de hace décadas y las múltiples irregularidades presentes en este caso infundado”, dijeron los abogados del presidente a la Corte Suprema en una presentación realizada en enero. “No se puede permitir este trato hacia un presidente”.\n\n\nLa apelación permaneció durante meses en la Corte Suprema, que la incluyó varias veces para discusión y luego aplazó ese análisis. Como es habitual, el tribunal no explicó los motivos de esos retrasos. Se espera que los abogados de Trump presenten en los próximos días una apelación ante la Corte Suprema contra el fallo de US$ 83 millones.\n\n\nEn un escrito técnico presentado ante la Corte Suprema sobre las reglas de admisión de pruebas, los abogados de Carroll centraron gran parte de sus argumentos en la decisión del Segundo Circuito que confirmó el veredicto.\n\n\n“La tarea del tribunal consistía simplemente en decidir si un jurado podía concluir razonablemente, con base en la preponderancia de la evidencia, que el señor Trump cometió un acto de agresión sexual”, resolvió por unanimidad un panel de tres jueces del Segundo Circuito, todos designados por presidentes demócratas. “Si podía llegar a esa conclusión, el tribunal tenía discreción para admitir esa evidencia”.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

While much of the case concerns Arizona’s specific procedures for vetting voters’ citizenship status, the dispute also tees up a question with nationwide implications about when election officials can purge rolls.\n\n\nThe NVRA forbids “systematic” voter removals program within 90 days of an election. Lower courts in the past have applied that prohibition toward programs aimed at removing non-citizens from the rolls in mass.\n\n\nNow Republicans and the Trump administration is arguing that the NVRA’s so-called quiet period does not cover purges aimed at culling non-citizens from the rolls.\n\n\nThe grant of the case comes after the Supreme Court gave a major win to Republicans with a ruling this term that hobbled the use of the Voting Rights Act to challenge redistricting plans. On Monday, the justices punted on another case Republicans were asking it to review, by requesting more briefing on a petition seeking to revive Pennsylvania’s requirement that voters put the data on mail ballot envelopes. That case, if ultimately taken up, would give the higher court the opportunity to further rein in when lower courts can strike down restrictive voting laws.\n\n\nArizona dispute’s latest trip to the Supreme Court\n\n\n\nThe Supreme Court will give a fuller look at the 2022 Arizona law next term, having considered it once before on its emergency docket. The justices will look specifically at a provision of the law that bars them from registering using Arizona’s state-based registration form.\n\n\nPreviously, the Supreme Court let that requirement go into effect before the 2024 election, but the high court let stand an appeals court ruling halting the proof of citizenship requirement for mail voting.\n\n\nOlder court precedents have established that Arizona voters without proof of citizenship can register to vote using the federal voter registration form, but those federal-only voters cannot cast ballots in state or local contests.\n\n\nThe scrutiny of Arizona’s voter purge program could drastically change how voter lists are maintained around the country, as the Trump administration and some Republicans have argued that states are not doing enough to keep their voter rolls clean.\n\n\nCurrently, in the 90 days before an election, states can only remove voters from rolls on a one-by-one basis, if the voter asks to be removed to be removed or if there is “individualized” investigations about the eligibility.\n\n\nArizona and other states, however, have pushed for the ability to do data-matching programs within that 90 days, using federal citizenship data programs or state citizen databases. Those programs however, can at times wrongly flag citizens as ineligible voters, leading to concerns that allowing the mass purges so close to the election does not give voters or states time to correct mistaken removals.\n\n\nSupporters of Arizona and similar laws say the restrictions are commonsense regulations that keep voter rolls clean and prevent non-citizen voting. Critics say the laws risk disenfranchising eligible voters – one survey has shown that 9% of Americans do not have easy access to the citizenship documents, like passports, that qualify under the laws. They argue that because instances of non-citizen voting are so rare, the scant problem does not justify the hurdles the requirements could pose to ballot access.\n\n\nTrump has made proof-of-citizenship requirements a central focus of his administration. But both his efforts in Congress and through an executive order to expand the requirement nationwide have been unsuccessful.\n\n\nSeveral states have recently passed their own proof of citizenship laws and are still in the early stages of trying to implement the requirement.  Arizona, however, stands out for its much longer track record of having various versions of the requirement on the books.\n\n\nIn the dispute before the Supreme Court, the challengers argue that a longstanding consent decree — stemming from a challenge from an older law adding the requirement — forecloses the state from demanding proof of citizenship for federal–only voters who register with the state registration form.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

It would have been used by members of the Acheulo-Yabrudian culture, who inhabited the Levant, or the Near East, around 400,000-250,000 years ago.\n\n\nThe team also found bones from animals such as fallow deer and gazelle.\n\n\nThis suggests large groups of hominins lived together in the caves, hunting wild animals and using fire, “suggesting complex and rich camp life,” Shimelmitz said in a statement published by Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on June 11.\n\n\nHowever, to date no significant human remains have been found in any of the caves that have been discovered from this period.\n\n\nThe cave in Fureidis is “a unique site of global importance,” Shimelmitz said in the statement.\n\n\n“This time capsule belongs to a unique period at the end of the Lower Paleolithic era, just before Neanderthals and modern humans became dominant and spread across many regions,” he said.\n\n\n“Only a handful of sites from this important phase have been uncovered in Israel and the wider Levant, and most of them are inaccessible for research,” Shimelmitz added.\n\n\nThe team presented their findings to the construction company, and a road bridge was built to save the cave and keep it accessible for further investigation.\n\n\nVardi said researchers are planning extensive studies at the site that will probably take several years.\n\n\n“Our big hope in the excavation of these caves is that maybe we’ll find hominin remains,” he said. “We’re very anxious to meet them.”\n\n\n‘Transform our understanding’\n\n\n\nArmando Falcucci, a lecturer in palaeolithic archaeology at the University of Southampton, England, who was not involved in the study, told CNN that the find adds to our understanding of a period of human history that tends to receive limited attention.\n\n\n“What makes this find valuable is that it pulls the spotlight back to a much earlier and equally pivotal window (roughly 400,000 to 200,000 years ago); a period of profound behavioural and technological change across both Africa and Eurasia in its own right, including the shift toward intensive, repeated use of caves as central places in the landscape,” he told CNN on Wednesday. He stressed that cave deposits from this period “are extremely rare in the region.”\n\n\n“The evidence for intensive use of fire at this site is particularly significant,” Falcucci added. “It is during this period, and at sites of exactly this kind, that habitual, controlled use of fire becomes archaeologically visible, marking a major behavioural threshold in human evolution.”\n\n\nCatriona Pickard, a professor of prehistory and archaeometry, and head of archaeology, at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, who was also not involved in the research, said the findings “provide rare insights into the material culture and lifeways of early hominins, and as such, the site has the potential to transform our understanding of the Lower Palaeolithic in the Levant.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Jean Carroll, a decision that means the president will now have to pay the magazine columnist.\n\n\nCarroll sued Trump in 2019 for defamation and then she sued him again in 2022 for defamation and battery after New York enacted a law allowing the victims of sexual abuse to file civil claims for past incidents. In an unusual quirk, the second case — the one filed in 2022 — went to trial first and the jury awarded Carroll $5 million.\n\n\nThe 2019 case went to trial second and resulted in an $83 million judgment against Trump. Including interest, Trump owes Carroll over $100 million in all.\n\n\n“Today’s Supreme Court decision affirms once and for all the jury’s unanimous verdict that President Donald J. Trump sexually assaulted and defamed E. Jean Carroll,” Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, said. “His multiple efforts to appeal that verdict have all failed and today’s ruling ends his quest to avoid accountability for his actions.”\n\n\nCarroll’s 2022 lawsuit alleged that he sexually assaulted her in a New York department store in the mid-1990s and defamed her by claiming she made up the story to boost sales of a book. Trump, who has repeatedly denied wrongdoing, has claimed US District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who oversaw the civil trial, made numerous errors by allowing the jury to hear testimony from two women who alleged Trump sexually assaulted them years ago.\n\n\nTrump also argued that the judge should not have let the jurors see the “Access Hollywood tape,” which captured Trump in 2005 on a hot mic saying he gropes and kisses women.\n\n\n“You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything, … Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything,” Trump was heard saying on the recording.\n\n\nA spokesman for the president’s legal team said in a statement Monday, that the “American People stand with President Trump as they demand an immediate end to all of the Witch Hunts, including the Democrat-funded travesty of the Carroll Hoaxes.”\n\n\n“President Trump will keep winning against Liberal Lawfare, as he continues to focus on his mission to Make America Great Again,” the statement went on.\n\n\nLast year, the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the jury’s $5 million verdict against Trump, ruling the trial judge did not make errors that would warrant a new trial. In June 2025, Trump lost an effort to have the appeal reviewed by the full bench of judges and, months later, he appealed to the Supreme Court.\n\n\n“It is deeply damaging to the fabric of our republic for President Trump, in the midst of a historic presidency, to have to take his focus away from his singular and unique duties as chief executive to continue fighting against decades-old, false allegations and the myriad wrongs throughout this baseless case,” the president’s attorneys told the Supreme Court in a January filing. “This mistreatment of a President cannot be allowed to stand.”\n\n\nThe appeal was delayed for months at the Supreme Court, which repeatedly set it for discussion and then rescheduled that discussion. As always, the court did not explain its reasoning for the hold up. Trump’s attorneys are expected to appeal the $83 million verdict to the Supreme Court in coming days.\n\n\nIn a technical brief at the Supreme Court dealing with rules of evidence, Carroll’s attorneys focused largely on the 2nd Circuit decision upholding the verdict.\n\n\n“The court’s duty was simply to decide whether a jury could reasonably find by a preponderance of the evidence that Mr. Trump committed an act of sexual assault,” a three-judge panel of the 2nd Circuit, all three of whom were appointed by Democratic presidents, ruled unanimously. “If it could so find, the court had the discretion to admit the evidence.”\n\n\nTrump transferred $5.5 million to a court-controlled account in 2023 following the jury verdict so Carroll is likely to receive the cash relatively quickly.\n\n\nCarroll’s lawyer could not immediately be reached for comment.\n\n\nThis story was updated with more information.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Only 35 of those features — just over 40% — successfully met both criteria.\n\n\nThe companies largely disputed the report’s findings, arguing that their features work as intended or that the tests did not represent typical use of the platforms by kids and teens.\n\n\nYouTube and Instagram parent company Meta were also found liable this year of intentionally addicting and harming young people. All four companies face thousands of lawsuits with similar claims, which they have disputed.\n\n\n“If you are a parent, you should know that we have found systemic issues with the design and implementation of many of these features,” the report, published Monday, states. To the Cybersafety Research Center, a joint initiative from New York University and Northeastern University, the findings show social media harms to kids “are not hypothetical, and that when they do occur the consequences can be irreversible.”\n\n\nThe findings call into question social media companies’ claims that heavy investments in new tools and features have made their platforms safe for young people. And they come amid a renewed push for more federal regulation of social media, with executives from some of the top firms expected to be called to testify on Capitol Hill again this summer.\n\n\nThe tests\n\n\n\nResearchers created two sets of test accounts: those with birthdates associated with minors to test child safety features, and adult accounts ages 25 and older to test restrictions on interactions with children. They tested whether a young person using the platforms normally would encounter the features, whether a teen attempting to circumvent the features would succeed and whether an adult user could bypass restrictions on messaging minors.\n\n\nFeatures were categorized as failures if they were: buried in settings and hard to find, broken because they did not function to prevent harm as advertised, or both. Nine features were also labeled as “missing” because researchers couldn’t trigger them even when they tried. For example, comments between teen accounts on Instagram that included bullying language — like curse words and “no body (sic) likes you” — did not trigger the platform’s advertised prompt for the user to rethink their comment.\n\n\nInstagram said the “pause to rethink” prompt is not designed to appear if the user who made the post and the user commenting follow each other.\n\n\n“Safety features, in order to be effective, need to be on by default or easy to activate, be resilient to normal teenager use, and should demonstrably protect against harm,” the report states.\n\n\nThe report did not look at parental control features, reviewing only tools that would apply directly to or can be turned on by kids and teens. The platforms say parental controls also contribute to youth safety and make it harder for kids and teens to bypass time restrictions and other features.\n\n\nThe number of features available to be tested varied by platform, with Instagram having the most at 29. The feature failure rates by platform were: Snapchat 73%, Instagram 66%, YouTube 55% and TikTok 50%.\n\n\nThe features\n\n\n\nAll four platforms say they block children from searching for dangerous content and instead direct them to support resources. But researchers found they fell short of doing so in practice.\n\n\nAfter a TikTok test account registered to a minor searched for material about disordered eating and self-harm, the app’s search function then suggested terms such as “how to pretend to eat your food” and “razor blade skin,” according to the report. As a child test account began typing “eating disorder” into Instagram’s search bar, the app automatically offered alternate search terms with deliberate misspellings that could skirt content restrictions. Misspellings also worked to circumvent restrictions on Snapchat.\n\n\nA TikTok spokesperson said the app’s teen accounts settings “come with over 50 preset safety features and settings automatically turned on, with additional choices for parents through our easy-to-use Family Pairing tool. Our internal review confirms these features are working as intended, and we welcome the opportunity to help the authors of this report better understand how our app works.”\n\n\nResearchers rated YouTube’s search content restrictions as a success. But they said YouTube’s efforts to redirect young users to resources failed because a child user could click away from the restricted screen and continue to view content they’d searched for. YouTube says that if a teen dismisses that resource direction screen, they will still only see content rated as safe for their age group.\n\n\n“We’ve spent over a decade building industry-leading parental controls, which is why 84% of parents who have used YouTube supervised account tools said they agree that these tools give them confidence that their child is accessing a safer and more controlled digital environment,” a YouTube spokesperson said in a statement about the report. “We will continue to strengthen these protections and innovate to protect families who use YouTube.”\n\n\nResearchers also raised questions about Snapchat and Instagram’s efforts to block adult strangers from messaging with young users. On Snapchat, researchers using an adult test account said they were able to find and message a child account with no restrictions. The child account “received the friend request and upon accepting it was able to view the history of messages that the adult had sent them with no warnings,” the report states.\n\n\nOn Instagram, researchers found the app successfully prevented adults who a child didn’t follow from initiating messaging conversations with that child. But they argued the protection is “compromised” because a child could message an adult they don’t follow and the adult can then respond — with no restrictions or warnings.\n\n\nThe report points to a 2021 press release in Meta which says that Instagram restricts adults from starting private messages with teens who don’t follow them. “The adult is able to send messages to a child unrestricted after contact has been initiated, even if the child does not follow them back,” the report states.\n\n\nMeta told CNN a teen messaging an adult who does not follow them indicates the young person wants to connect and the feature is working as intended.\n\n\nThe researchers say they alerted Instagram and Snapchat to the child messaging concerns and other “critical vulnerabilities” before releasing the report.\n\n\nA Snapchat spokesperson told CNN the company cares “deeply about the safety, privacy, and well-being of all Snapchatters, and our teams have worked for years to build safeguards, launch safety tutorials, and partner with experts … we are continually evaluating and strengthening our protections.” The spokesperson added that many of the report’s findings were based on “intentionally taking actions to bypass protections that are not representative of the typical user experience.”\n\n\nMany of the platforms also offer time limits or “take a break” reminders to prevent kids from endlessly scrolling. But on Instagram, YouTube and TikTok, the prompt telling users to take a break includes an option to “snooze” the reminder and return to the feed. Meta and YouTube said the feature works as intended and added that time limits set up via parental controls could not be dismissed.\n\n\n“This report is fundamentally flawed and demonstrates a basic misunderstanding of how our tools work,” a Meta spokesperson said in a statement. “The authors include vague claims that our features are broken but, in the vast majority of cases, either misrepresent those features or fail to provide any examples or evidence. The reality is that with Teen Accounts, teens are seeing less sensitive content, experiencing less unwanted contact, and spending less time on Instagram at night.”\n\n\nMeta argued that some of the report’s findings about “missing” features may have simply been because they did not encounter issues that would have triggered the tools. For example, researchers said they did not see any “sensitive content” warning screens on potentially problematic posts; Meta said no sensitive content may have appeared in their feeds.\n\n\nSome features were successful. For example, if users under the age of 13 try to sign up for a TikTok account, they’re automatically directed into a “TikTok for Younger Users” experience that is view-only and removes potentially dangerous app features, such as search and messaging. That means kids don’t have an opportunity to try to sign up again with a fake, older birthdate on that device.\n\n\nAnd minor accounts automatically default to private settings on Instagram, which researchers said, “could encourage users to maintain private accounts without requiring the user to make an informed decision.”\n\n\nThose successes prove that it is possible to design effective safety youth features, the researchers said.

Sin embargo, si el repunte bursátil que alimenta esta brecha perdiera fuerza, la economía podría sufrir un duro golpe.\n\n\nA pesar de que la confianza del consumidor se sitúa cerca de mínimos históricos, los estadounidenses de todos los estratos y niveles de ingresos están gastando a un ritmo mayor este año que en 2025, según el informe mensual del Bank of America Institute basado en datos de depósitos. No obstante, son los estadounidenses adinerados quienes sostienen la mayor parte del gasto: el 20 % de la población con mayores ingresos representa el 57 % del gasto de los consumidores en EE.UU., según la Reserva Federal de Dallas.\n\n\nEsto no se debe únicamente a que sean más ricos y tengan más dinero (¡obviamente!); la clave reside en el tipo de patrimonio que poseen.\n\n\nEs más probable que los estadounidenses adinerados sean propietarios de viviendas, lo que les permite liberar un capital considerable gracias al fuerte aumento de los precios inmobiliarios en los últimos años, especialmente si compraron o refinanciaron sus hipotecas con tasas inferiores al 3 % durante la pandemia. El 20 % de los ciudadanos con mayores ingresos posee más de la mitad del valor total de la vivienda en EE.UU., mientras que el 20 % con menores ingresos apenas posee el 3 % de dicho valor, según la Reserva Federal de Nueva York.\n\n\nOtro factor determinante: los estadounidenses adinerados tienen una mayor inversión en el mercado de valores. El 20 % de la población con mayores ingresos controla el 87 % de la riqueza generada por las acciones en propiedad individual en EE.UU., según las Cuentas Financieras Distributivas de la Reserva Federal.\n\n\nEl índice S&P 500 ha ofrecido a los inversores una rentabilidad total del 22 % en el último año, del 76 % desde 2023 y del 327 % en la última década.\n\n\nEsas enormes ganancias en el mercado han animado a los accionistas a gastar. “Las ganancias en el precio de las acciones han sido un motor importante del gasto en bienes y servicios discrecionales por parte de los hogares de mayor edad y más adinerados, los cuales representan más del 50 % del gasto total en dichas categorías”, señaló el mes pasado Michael Pearce, economista jefe para EE.UU. de Oxford Economics, en una nota dirigida a sus clientes.\n\n\nDado que esa riqueza derivada del mercado está tan concentrada en los hogares más ricos, lo mismo ocurre con el gasto que genera: tres cuartas partes del gasto impulsado por el repunte bursátil provienen del 20 % de la población con mayores ingresos, según Joe Brusuelas, economista jefe de RSM US.\n\n\nEn el último año, el mercado generó US$ 53.000 millones en gasto, según estimaciones de Brusuelas. Es una cifra considerable: equivale aproximadamente a una séptima parte de la tasa de crecimiento anualizado del 2,1 % registrada por el producto interior bruto (PIB) de EE.UU. en el trimestre anterior.\n\n\nLas ganancias bursátiles que han contribuido a mantener la economía en marcha también han agravado la enorme brecha de riqueza. Estos importantes beneficios del mercado han alimentado la percepción de falta de equidad y justicia en la economía, provocando indignación entre muchos estadounidenses de ingresos medios y bajos.\n\n\n“Si confiamos en el mercado de valores para sostener la economía de consumo, nos estamos apoyando en un mecanismo que profundiza la recuperación en forma de ‘K’ en lugar de compensarla”, afirmó Brusuelas.\n\n\nSin embargo, si ocurriera lo contrario —es decir, si el repunte del mercado llegara a su fin—, la situación económica podría complicarse considerablemente para todos.\n\n\n“Estamos ante un mercado y una economía con forma de ‘K’”, comentó Heather Long, economista jefe de Navy Federal Credit Union. “El mayor riesgo para la economía es una recesión, y ese riesgo se intensifica cuando ambas ‘K’ están presentes”.\n\n\nUn tercio del valor del índice S&P 500 corresponde a un único sector: el tecnológico. Además, casi una quinta parte del valor total del mercado proviene exclusivamente de las acciones de empresas de semiconductores.\n\n\nNadie prevé que el repunte impulsado por la inteligencia artificial vaya a desplomarse a corto plazo; existe una demanda real de esta tecnología y no estamos ante una burbuja como la de las “puntocom”. No obstante, dado que el auge bursátil es, al menos en parte, responsable de la riqueza de los mayores consumidores, si dicho repunte terminara, podría desincentivar el gasto y generar graves problemas para la economía. “Si se produjera un acontecimiento que provocara una caída significativa de la renta variable, se crearían las condiciones para una fuerte contracción o una recesión”, afirmó Brusuelas.\n\n\nEl mercado de valores no es la economía, pero es importante para ella. Y, debido a la extrema concentración de la riqueza, el repunte del mercado tiene una repercusión mucho mayor de lo habitual en la economía, tanto para bien como para mal.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Cinco personas murieron en el lugar, mientras que una sexta falleció a causa de sus heridas en el hospital, según informó la policía. Todas eran adultas.\n\n\nLas víctimas eran empleados de la instalación, no residentes, dijo un funcionario de la policía alemana en una rueda de prensa, informó la agencia de noticias Reuters.\n\n\nEl presunto atacante, que fue arrestado poco después de que ocurriera el tiroteo, es un ciudadano turco de 45 años, dijeron el lunes por la noche. Nació en Alemania.\n\n\nLa investigación sobre las circunstancias del tiroteo continúa, pero las autoridades creen que el motivo del sospechoso podría estar relacionado con su familia.\n\n\n“Tenía una cita en la instalación de bienestar juvenil con varios miembros del personal en relación con la custodia de su hija de tres meses”, dijo la policía en un comunicado.\n\n\nLa hija del sospechoso, y su madre de 34 años, estaban presentes en el momento del tiroteo. “La hija fue puesta bajo la custodia de la oficina de bienestar juvenil. La madre actualmente sigue sujeta a medidas policiales”, dijo la policía.\n\n\nAdemás, una mujer de 65 años, a quien la policía señaló como la conductora de un vehículo de fuga y que tiene estrechos vínculos con la familia involucrada, también fue puesta bajo custodia policial.\n\n\nLa policía dijo a CNN que la zona ya fue asegurada y que no existe una amenaza para la población. Además, pidió al público evitar el área.\n\n\nEl presidente de Alemania, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, emitió un mensaje de condolencias a las familias de los afectados, al tiempo que agradeció a los servicios de emergencia y al personal médico por su ayuda.\n\n\nEl concejal local Carsten Brokelmann declaró que la ciudad cuenta con una guardería y una escuela primaria en las inmediaciones del lugar del tiroteo.\n\n\n“Nos alivia saber que nuestro personal y los niños de la guardería y la escuela primaria se encuentran sanos y salvos, y quiero agradecer a los agentes de policía su labor en esta situación tan difícil”, afirmó en un comunicado.\n\n\n“Asimismo, expresamos nuestras más sinceras condolencias a las víctimas de este terrible suceso y a sus familias”, añadió Brokelmann.\n\n\nLa policía advirtió que ha aparecido información no verificada sobre el incidente en internet y pidió a la población que no difunda rumores, ya que esto podría obstaculizar la investigación.\n\n\nStade, situada a unos 45 kilómetros al oeste de Hamburgo, es una ciudad histórica de aproximadamente 50.000 habitantes.\n\n\nLos tiroteos masivos son poco frecuentes en Alemania. El país cuenta con leyes estrictas sobre la posesión de armas, que exigen una licencia. Para obtener un permiso de armas, los residentes deben demostrar ser personas responsables, completar un curso de formación y un examen, y justificar la necesidad de poseer un arma.\n\n\nSegún datos del gobierno alemán, unas 929.000 personas en un país de 83 millones de habitantes poseen algo más de 3 millones de armas.\n\n\nEsta historia ha sido actualizada con detalles adicionales\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Five people died at the scene, while a sixth person succumbed to their injuries in hospital, police said. All were adults.\n\n\nThe victims were employees of the facility, not residents, a German police official said in a briefing, Reuters news agency reported.\n\n\nThe alleged perpetrator, who was arrested shortly after the shooting occurred, is a 45-year-old male Turkish citizen, police said on Monday evening. He was born in Germany.\n\n\nAn investigation into the circumstances of the shooting is ongoing, but authorities believe the suspect’s motive could be related to his family.\n\n\n“He had an appointment at the youth welfare facility with various staff members regarding custody of his three-month-old daughter,” police said in a statement.\n\n\nThe suspect’s daughter – and her 34-year-old mother – were both present at the time of the shooting. “The daughter was placed in the custody of the youth welfare office. The mother is currently still subject to police measures,” police said.\n\n\nIn addition, a 65-year-old woman – who police said was the driver of a getaway vehicle and has close ties to the family involved – was also taken into police custody.\n\n\nThe area has been cleared and there is no ongoing threat to the public, police told CNN. Police have asked the public to avoid the area.\n\n\nGerman President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Chancellor Friedrich Merz both issued messages of condolence to the families of those affected, while thanking emergency services for their assistance.\n\n\nLocal councillor Carsten Brokelmann said that the city operates a daycare facility and a primary school in the immediate vicinity of where the shooting happened.\n\n\n“We are relieved that our staff and the children in the daycare center and elementary school are all safe and well, and I would like to thank the police officers for their service in this chaotic situation,” he said in a statement.\n\n\n“At the same time, our deepest sympathies go out to the victims of this terrible act and their families,” Brokelmann said.\n\n\nThe police force has warned that unverified information about the incident has appeared online, and asked people not to spread any rumours as this could hinder the investigation.\n\n\nStade, some 45 kilometres (27 miles) west from Hamburg, is a historical town of about 50,000 people.\n\n\nMass shooting incidents are rare in Germany. The country has strict gun ownership laws requiring a license. To get a permit to own a gun, residents need to demonstrate they are reliable, undergo a training course and an exam and prove their need to own a weapon.\n\n\nAccording to German government data, some 929,000 people in the country of 83 million own just over 3 million guns.\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional details. \n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Keep your doors and gates at home closed at all times. \n\n\n\n\nIf you happen to find a lost pet, animal services says do not bring them to the shelter, but take them to a fire station or a vet clinic to get them scanned for a microchip. \n\n\n\n\"You can walk them around the neighborhood to see if anybody recognizes that missing pet,\" says Newbold. \"If you are able to hold on to them for a bit longer, you can register them in our Finder to Foster Program. We will provide supplies, medical care, anything that you need for that pet.\"\n\n\n\nNewbold says that way, lost pets stay in the communities where they come from, having a higher chance of being reunited with their owners.\n\n\n\nThe City of El Paso Animal Services is also offering $2.50 pet adoptions this week until July 4. \nThe post Stop your pet from going missing on July 4th appeared first on KVIA.","url":"https://kvia.com/news/top-stories/2026/06/29/most-pets-go-missing-on-4th-of-july-how-to-keep-yours-from-ending-up-at-the-shelter/","source":"KVIA ABC-7","author":"Nicole Ardila","publishDate":"2026-06-29T11:55:43.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkvia.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2Fep-animal-services-scaled.jpg","slug":"stop-your-pet-from-going-missing-on-july-4th"},{"id":"x99ms4","title":"How Lindsey Vonn and Mikaela Shiffrin have helped Wimbledon champion Iga Świątek","excerpt":"By Ben Church, CNN\n\n\nWimbledon, London (CNN) — When Iga Świątek steps out on the pristine Wimbledon grass for the first time this year, she’ll be doing so as the reigning champion.\n\n\nRewind to the 2025 tournament and a laser-focused Świątek was cruising to her first title at the All England Club,...","content":"By Ben Church, CNN\n\n\nWimbledon, London (CNN) — When Iga Świątek steps out on the pristine Wimbledon grass for the first time this year, she’ll be doing so as the reigning champion.\n\n\nRewind to the 2025 tournament and a laser-focused Świątek was cruising to her first title at the All England Club, a dream eventually achieved with a crushing 6-0, 6-0 win against American Amanda Anisimova in the final.\n\n\nDespite now carrying the label of champion into the tournament, the six-time grand slam winner told CNN Sports that her approach hasn’t really changed at all.\n\n\n“Sport is fair, so only the work that you do now and when you actually compete matters,” the 25-year-old said as she put the finishing touches to her preparation.\n\n\n“I’ll try to be there and not really think about the past, but focus on doing the work step by step, match by match, because that’s what always works and that’s the right approach.\n\n\n“It’s not always easy to do that, but that’s another topic.”\n\n\nThey’re wise words from an athlete who is mature beyond her years, a player who was thrust onto the global stage at such a young age.\n\n\nŚwiątek was only 19 when she won her first grand slam title at the French Open in 2020, becoming the first player from Poland to ever win a major singles title.\n\n\nA spell as the world No. 1 and five more grand slam titles have followed as she’s cemented herself as one of the faces of the sport. Her profile has also grown off the court. In 2023, she became the first female player to sign for On as the brand looked to expand into the tennis market.\n\n\nIt all created a buzz around an athlete who is more comfortable with a quiet life away from the cameras.\n\n\nFamous friends\n\n\n\nShe says leaning on her friends and family has helped her maintain a healthy balance in her life as she attempts to navigate all the chaos, looking for opportunities to switch off from tennis and the intensity required for her game to thrive.\n\n\nSome of those friends are more famous than others. In her conversation with CNN, Świątek was quick to credit both Lindsey Vonn and Mikaela Shiffrin for the support and advice they’ve given her over the years.\n\n\nBoth women have sat at the very top of alpine skiing, becoming the face of the sport and carrying the weight that comes with it.\n\n\nŚwiątek has been able to use both as a sounding board, learning tips that have helped with her approach to tennis and wider life.\n\n\n“Even though I’m totally different than [Vonn] in terms of personality, I feel like watching her, I learned how to be courageous and also how to handle pressure,” the world No. 3 said.\n\n\n“For years, she has been the most famous person in her sport, and when people thought of alpine skiing, they thought of her. She had to carry this sport a little bit on her shoulders, even though there were many great athletes.\n\n\n“So watching her and how strong she is, and how she presents herself, and how she carries herself, that also gave me a lot.”\n\n\nVonn is a well-known tennis fan and was in London to watch Serena Wiliams make her comeback at the Queen’s Championships earlier this month.\n\n\nŚwiątek has met the skiing icon on several occasions and stays in regular contact with the 41-year-old, who is continuing to recover from her serious injury sustained during the Winter Olympics earlier this year.\n\n\n“She understands a lot about tennis, you know, so it’s easy to talk to her about that,” Świątek added.\n\n\nThe Polish superstar is also grateful for the help of another skiing icon, Shiffrin. Although the pair have never met face-to-face, the American has been happy to lend some advice over the years via private messages.\n\n\nŚwiątek remembers a particular time when she was struggling on tour in 2021 and reached out to Shiifrin for some help.\n\n\n“She was really nice and she gave me a lot of perspective. So, from time to time, we text as well,” she said.\n\n\n“She is more similar to me. A bit more like, I don’t know, I would say introverted and in our own bubble. It’s nice to compare experiences, and it’s also great that these athletes are sometimes available to talk because that’s what makes this whole thing so amazing.\n\n\n“I can ask them questions, and that’s when I know that they’re also great people off the field because they’re open to give advice and share their experiences and maybe have an impact on a younger athlete and help them achieve things.”\n\n\nSerena comeback\n\n\n\nŚwiątek will also have the chance to watch another one of her role models up close at this year’s Wimbledon.\n\n\nLike the rest of the world, the reigning champion is excited by Serena’s stunning return to tennis. The American won seven singles titles at Wimbledon during her unrivaled career and has accepted a wild card to play in the draw this year as she dips her toes back into competition after almost four years out of the sport.\n\n\nŚwiątek never played against Williams on tour but would face the 44-year-old should they both make it to the third round.\n\n\n“It’s great that she has made this decision because she’s such a role model. I mean, it’s great for us because we can be around Serena.\n\n\n“I will be happy to observe and to learn, because she’s obviously the GOAT (greatest of all time), and she inspired so many of us, and she showed her power throughout so many years, even decades, you know.\n\n\n“I’m not completely surprised that she’s back because I feel like she achieved everything, but on the other hand, she’s completely free to do whatever she wants. She obviously loves tennis so much and it’s great to see her back.”\n\n\nŚwiątek will start her title defense on Tuesday when she plays American Taylor Townsend in the first round.\n\n\nWilliams will also begin her campaign on Tuesday against Australian Maya Joint, who is over half her age.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Comcast said it expects to complete the spinoff in about a year.\n\n\nThe spinoff announcement was welcomed by investors; Comcast shares traded up more than 20% in premarket trading, and were still up 7% by late morning.\n\n\nOne of the other main broadband providers in the US, Charter Communications, saw its shares surge more than 10%, reflecting industry speculation that Comcast and Charter may seek to merge.\n\n\nComcast’s stock has languished for years, reflecting Wall Street skepticism about its combination of content and distribution and its ability to compete with the likes of Netflix.\n\n\nComcast “had to do something,” Lightshed Research’s Rich Greenfield said on CNBC Monday morning.\n\n\nHe called the breakup “an admission that there is literally no synergy between Comcast and NBCUniversal.”\n\n\nAt the very least, it’s a recognition that the market is rewarding pure-play companies. So, 15 years after acquiring NBCUniversal to great fanfare, Comcast is unwinding the combination.\n\n\nComcast will become more of a pure broadband and wireless company, and NBC will become one of the biggest owners of content.\n\n\nComcast has some recent breakup experience: It spun off most of its cable channels, including CNBC and MS NOW, in January.\n\n\nIndustry analysts have predicted further deal-making activity in the wake of Paramount’s pending acquisition of CNN’s parent Warner Bros. Discovery. But it’s much harder to predict what form that activity will take.\n\n\nAnalysts immediately wondered if Netflix or Apple might be interested in owning NBCUniversal’s studios and brands.\n\n\nThe company said that Mike Cavanagh, its current co-CEO, will be the CEO of the new NBCUniversal, also including Sky, which has been operated mostly separately until now.\n\n\nFormer Comcast chief financial officer Michael Angelakis will rejoin the company to run the future version of Comcast once the media assets are spun out.\n\n\nComcast is best known for delivering broadband internet to tens of millions of American homes. It also has a growing wireless business and is a provider of technology to other companies across the industry.\n\n\nThe Roberts family will retain control, and Brian Roberts “will remain actively involved with both companies, working closely with Mike and Michael where he will focus on the new areas of growth, creativity and opportunity that this new structure will create,” a memo to employees stated.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Almost a year later, she shared that she was in remission.\n\n\nSince then, she has slowly returned to royal duties. She has become deeply involved in promoting the work of the Royal Marsden, and sought to support people living with cancer. Last year, Kensington Palace announced that she had been named the joint patron of the cancer charity alongside her husband, Prince William.\n\n\n“I’ve met some incredible people, those people who are living with and beyond cancer,” she said. “And I know personally how difficult that journey is, and I really wanted to use this opportunity as my way of contributing to all the wonderful work that’s going on.”\n\n\nKate undertook the Three Peaks Challenge, which involves climbing a total of 3,064 meters (10,052 feet), alone and was greeted afterward by William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, as well as her parents and brother, Michael, Carole and James Middleton.\n\n\nBy completing a challenge like this, she hoped to “explore life beyond a diagnosis,” since cancer “changes how you think and feel and profoundly affects every aspect of life,” she said in a statement released by Kensington Palace.\n\n\nAnd because of such all-encompassing effects, Kate has championed “holistic care” which supports a patient’s mental, social and spiritual, as well as physical, wellbeing.\n\n\nAlongside her statement, Kate released a fundraising link for the public to donate to the Royal Marsden.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Adriano Espaillat in Tuesday’s primary, maintained a since-deleted Twitter account with repeated sympathetic references to communism, Marxist ideology and Soviet figures, including Vladimir Lenin.\n\n\nAvila Chevalier, a sociology PhD student whose victory sent shockwaves throughout the Democratic establishment, has been under fire for a since-deleted Twitter account, previously reported by CNN, that included phrases such as “seize the means of production,” along with calls to abolish police, prisons and borders. Other controversial tweets include one that said Black and Arab men are both “Fetishizing ugly colonizer women” and another that described wiping her dirty hands on the American flag in lieu of a napkin.\n\n\nAs an undergraduate, Avila Chevalier attended Columbia University, where she organized with Students for Justice in Palestine, and after graduation became involved in pro-Palestinian campus protests over Israel’s war in Gaza. She also attended a controversial October 8, 2023, pro-Palestinian rally in Times Square — one day after Hamas’ attack on Israel — that featured speeches and rhetoric praising the attack.\n\n\nShe previously told CNN, “I have grown considerably in the years since these tweets, and I am focused on our community and our community’s future.”\n\n\nOn Thursday, President Donald Trump accused Avila Chevalier of being a communist, a charge that she said she wouldn’t respond to while on MSNOW, saying, “I won’t be reactive.”\n\n\nA further review of Avila Chevalier’s archived Twitter account from 2020-2022 found repeated references to communism and Marxist ideology. The account, “Darializabonet,” appears to have been deleted in June 2022.\n\n\nThe account’s bio read in 2020, “how communist of you.” Archived posts and retweets during this timeframe included a recommendation that Karl Marx’s Capital was an “essential must-read,” a complaint that public libraries did not carry enough Marxist literature by Lenin and other revolutionary writers, and a retweet  from a Communist-identifying account  lamenting that bookstore “banned books” displays did not include The Complete Works of J. V. Stalin.\n\n\nOne archived retweet from 2020 quoted Assata Shakur, the former Black Liberation Army member who, in 1977, was convicted in the murder of a New Jersey state trooper before later escaping prison and fleeing to Cuba. In the quote, Shakur said she “preferred Ho Chi Minh, Kim Il Sung, Che, or Fidel (Castro)” before studying Marx and Lenin because the two “white dudes” had made contributions to “revolutionary struggle” that were “too great to be ignored.”\n\n\nIn April 2020, Avila Chevalier shared a post lamenting that people wouldn’t accept communism over a lack of varieties of soup – a reference to the critique that the political system leads to fewer consumer choices.\n\n\n“I just cannot get over the fact that the universe has foisted upon us the perfect illustration of literally every failing of capitalism and people are still like we can’t be communists cuz there won’t be enough types of soup,” the post she retweeted read.\n\n\nOther posts critiqued or joked about popular culture she viewed as anti-communist.\n\n\nIn one post, Avila Chevalier  described the animated film Anastasia as “an explicitly anti-USSR kid’s movie,” and in another post she linked to she wrote: “Time for me to once again sympathize with the people the Bolsheviks put in the blender for like 90 min .”\n\n\nAvila Chevalier was responding to a viral false claim that Disney had removed Anastasia from Disney+   streaming service because it was anti-Russia after the invasion of Ukraine.\n\n\nIn another post, Avila Chevalier joked that Sheryl Crow’s hit song Soak Up the Sun was “bootstrap capitalist propaganda” after noticing it opens with the lyric “my friend the communist,” quipping that the character was “apparently also a bad organizer lol.”\n\n\nAnother 2020 retweet argued for democratic worker control of wealth, dismissing ideological labels by concluding: “You can call that communism, you can call it socialism, you can call it pancakes.”\n\n\nAnd previously, CNN had surfaced an April 2020 post where Avila-Chevalier said that while most of the political theory she had read was communist, “the pyromania associated with anarchism is very intriguing to me,” punctuating the remark with a laughing emoji.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Primero, que Netanyahu volverá a depender de la retórica antiárabe que su partido ha empleado durante años. Y segundo, que el exjefe militar de Israel, Eisenkot, ahora es visto como la principal amenaza política para el líder en funciones más longevo del país.\n\n\nEl nombre de Eisenkot puede que aún no resuene internacionalmente, pero en Israel ha crecido en prominencia, suplantando al del ex primer ministro Naftali Bennett como el principal retador a Netanyahu. Un asesor de Netanyahu dijo que tienen 400 videos más sobre Eisenkot para publicar.\n\n\nEl partido Yashar de Eisenkot, “recto” o “honesto” en hebreo y fundado hace menos de un año, había estado languideciendo en un solo dígito en la mayoría de las encuestas hasta hace poco. Ahora, la mayoría de las encuestas muestran que está corriendo cerca de Likud y por delante de la lista conjunta formada por Bennett y otro ex primer ministro, Yair Lapid.\n\n\nLos dos habían buscado integrar a Eisenkot en un bloque unificado anti-Netanyahu. Pero él declinó, optando por postularse de manera independiente, y ahora los ha superado en múltiples encuestas.\n\n\nLa última encuesta del Canal 12 proyecta que el partido de Eisenkot obtendría 21 escaños en el parlamento de Israel, la Knéset, justo detrás de los 23 de Likud y por delante de los 18 de Bennett-Lapid. Al preguntar quién estaba mejor preparado para servir como primer ministro, el 38 % de los encuestados nombró a Eisenkot; el 36 % dijo Netanyahu. Otros importantes encuestadores muestran una tendencia similar.\n\n\nEl cambio se refleja en el mensaje de Likud, que ha comenzado a tratar a Eisenkot como el principal rival de Netanyahu después de centrarse previamente en Bennett.\n\n\nEn las últimas semanas, comenzaron a circular videos de campaña que se burlan del inglés fuertemente acentuado de Eisenkot, contrastándolo con la pulida oratoria internacional de Netanyahu, quien se graduó de la secundaria en Pensilvania. “Gadi no atacaría a Irán” es otra línea de ataque que ha surgido.\n\n\nSin embargo, ese contraste también podría ser parte del atractivo de Eisenkot, según analistas. En estilo y personalidad pública, es el polo opuesto de Netanyahu, más que cualquier otro rival en años recientes.\n\n\nNetanyahu, de 76 años, ha pasado décadas perfeccionando el teatro político, los mensajes contundentes y las grandes actuaciones. Eisenkot es de voz suave, discreto y poco dramático —no es material para memes virales—, un explanificador militar enfocado en los procesos y la estrategia.\n\n\nSus biografías refuerzan las diferencias. Netanyahu, hijo de un historiador, creció en los círculos de élite de Jerusalén y sirvió en la prestigiosa unidad de comando Sayeret Matkal del Ejército. Eisenkot, de 66 años, es el segundo de nueve hijos de inmigrantes marroquíes. Se crió en Tiberíades y Eilat, fuera de los centros tradicionales de poder e influencia de Israel. Como soldado, ascendió en la Brigada Golani hasta convertirse en jefe del Estado Mayor de las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel (FDI) de 2015 a 2019, elegido por el propio Netanyahu.\n\n\n“Bajo tu mando, Gadi, las FDI realizaron un gran trabajo”, dijo Netanyahu en la ceremonia de retiro de Eisenkot en 2019. “Te saludamos por tus muchos méritos como combatiente y comandante”, añadió.\n\n\nSu mandato estuvo marcado tanto por presiones políticas como por controversias. En 2016, Eisenkot presidió el enjuiciamiento de Elor Azaria, un médico de combate condenado por matar a un atacante palestino herido en Hebrón, un caso que se convirtió en un punto álgido político sobre la ética militar y las reglas de enfrentamiento. Apoyó el proceso legal militar a pesar de la considerable presión de la derecha, incluido el propio Netanyahu.\n\n\nEisenkot ingresó a la política en 2022 bajo el liderazgo de otro exjefe militar, Benny Gantz. Juntos, se unieron al gabinete de guerra de emergencia de Netanyahu después del 7 de octubre. Con el tiempo, Eisenkot se volvió cada vez más crítico con la conducta del Gobierno durante la guerra y la ausencia de una estrategia clara, especialmente en lo que respecta a los rehenes retenidos en Gaza.\n\n\n“La guerra se está llevando a cabo mediante logros tácticos, sin movimientos significativos para alcanzar objetivos estratégicos”, escribió en una carta de febrero de 2024 dirigida a Netanyahu y al gabinete de guerra.\n\n\nLa guerra también transformó su historia personal. Dos meses después de iniciados los combates, su hijo menor, Gal, fue muerto en Gaza. Dos de sus sobrinos murieron más tarde en combate. Todo esto mientras el propio hijo de Netanyahu, Yair, pasó una parte significativa de la guerra en Miami y no cumplió con el servicio de reserva.\n\n\n“Seguiremos siendo una familia unida y feliz para que tu sacrificio no sea en vano”, dijo Eisenkot en el funeral de su hijo. “Haremos todo lo posible para ser dignos y tomar las decisiones correctas por quienes se sacrificaron, tus hermanos de armas y por todo el pueblo de Israel”.\n\n\nPara junio de 2024, Eisenkot y Gantz se retiraron del gabinete de guerra de emergencia, citando la ausencia de un plan final. Un año después, Eisenkot se separó de Gantz para formar su propio partido, que ha ido ganando impulso de manera constante.\n\n\n“Se presenta ante la gente como alguien a quien quieren abrazar”, escribió el columnista Nachum Barnea en Yedioth Aharonot esta semana, describiendo el atractivo de Eisenkot como “emocional” y atribuyéndolo a la combinación de haber sido exjefe del Estado Mayor, padre en duelo e hijo de marroquíes de la periferia.\n\n\nSu origen podría tener relevancia política. Los votantes mizrajíes —judíos de origen medio oriental y norteafricano— son tradicionalmente un núcleo del electorado de Likud, pero Israel nunca ha tenido un primer ministro mizrají. Incluso el legislador de Likud, David Bitan, reconoció recientemente en una entrevista que el trasfondo y la historia personal de Eisenkot “le otorgan una ventaja muy interesante”. Yigal Guetta, exlegislador del partido ultraortodoxo Shas, lo dijo directamente en el Canal 12 de Israel. “¡Sí, un primer ministro marroquí!”\n\n\nAun así, faltando unos cuatro meses para las elecciones, las encuestas muestran que Eisenkot está lejos de asegurar una victoria decisiva o de tener un camino fácil hacia una coalición de gobierno. Netanyahu es un experimentado y hábil candidato, con un aparato político bien establecido. Eisenkot nunca ha competido en una contienda nacional por su cuenta.\n\n\nLos aliados de Netanyahu ya han intensificado sus ataques. En el canal pro-Netanyahu 14, los panelistas han acusado a Eisenkot de indulgencia pasada hacia figuras de Hezbollah, acusaciones que él rechaza y por las cuales ha dicho que está considerando acciones legales.\n\n\nEl mensaje de Likud también ha vuelto a un argumento familiar dirigido a los votantes de derecha: que cualquier coalición anti-Netanyahu dependería del apoyo de partidos árabes. En vez de dirigir ese ataque a Bennett o Lapid, ahora está dirigido a Eisenkot.\n\n\nLa aritmética de coalición sigue siendo el desafío central, no solo para Eisenkot sino para todo el bloque anti-Netanyahu. Incluso si las encuestas apuntan a una mayoría, una posible coalición que abarque partidos de izquierda, derecha, centro y árabes enfrentaría serias dificultades para formar un Gobierno y mantenerlo unido.\n\n\nSin embargo, Anshel Pfeffer, corresponsal en Israel de The Economist y autor de una de las biografías de Netanyahu, afirma que Eisenkot se destaca frente a los anteriores rivales.\n\n\n“Desde 1996 hay una audición continua en Israel buscando a la persona que derrocará a Netanyahu”, dijo. “Quienes tuvieron éxito, como Ehud Barak y Ariel Sharon, lo lograron siendo fundamentalmente diferentes. Los que fracasaron a menudo intentaron imitarlo”. Es un patrón que Pfeffer caracteriza como “WannaBibis”.\n\n\nEn su opinión, Eisenkot no sigue ese guion. “Solo hay un Netanyahu. Eisenkot es el primero en años que intenta vencer a Netanyahu siendo su opuesto”, dijo.\n\n\nPfeffer cuestiona hasta dónde llega esa diferencia, señalando que Eisenkot fue una figura central en la conformación de la estrategia militar de Israel, incluida la “doctrina Dahiyeh” de usar una fuerza abrumadora contra infraestructuras civiles para disuadir futuros ataques militantes, desarrollada tras la guerra del Líbano de 2006, y la planificación estratégica al inicio de la guerra en Gaza. “En cuanto a personalidad, es diferente”, dijo Pfeffer, “pero en términos de política, no está tan claro”.\n\n\nNetanyahu ha visto a varios rivales surgir en olas de esperanza y apoyo público, solo para quedarse cortos frente a sus habilidades políticas. Por ahora, el contraste con Netanyahu parece estar impulsando el impulso de Eisenkot.\n\n\n“Eisenkot no es Netanyahu y nunca podrá serlo. Pero eso puede ser precisamente lo que muchos israelíes buscan: un estilo de liderazgo fundamentalmente diferente”, dijo Pfeffer.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

It made it harder for the 71-year-old to do the things she enjoyed, including walking her dogs and gardening.\n\n\nUnable to afford the weight-loss drugs Wegovy or Zepbound, which were priced at more than $1,000 a month at the time, Abrahamson started using a compounded version of the GLP-1 drug tirzepatide two years ago, which initially cost her $400 a month but has since dropped to $200. Her husband, Jeff, 77, began earlier this year. Both have shed pounds and have more energy – though the monthly tab is a struggle financially.\n\n\nThe couple, who live off of Social Security, savings and a small pension, may soon be able to get Zepbound for $50 a month each through the Medicare pilot program. The steep discount would allow them to buy a new riding lawn mower or improve their drinking water system or take a dream vacation to Belize, where Abramhamson has already picked out a resort.\n\n\n“With this weight loss, I feel 10 years younger,” said Abrahamson, who no longer struggles with sleep apnea and other ailments since starting the compounded GLP-1. “It changed my life for the better. I don’t want to give it up.”\n\n\nThe Abrahamsons are hoping to be among the millions of senior citizens who will become eligible to obtain weight loss drugs through Medicare for the first time in the program’s history. It is launching the temporary pilot, called Medicare GLP-1 Bridge, on July 1.\n\n\nMedicare is prohibited by law from covering weight-loss drugs, but the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is allowed to run short-term demonstration projects to test new payment and coverage models. The Bridge effort is part of a deal that the Trump administration announced in November with drugmakers Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to reduce the cost of their blockbuster anti-obesity medications.\n\n\nDoctors and patient advocates have been clamoring for years to expand Medicare coverage to weight-loss drugs, arguing that obesity should be treated like any disease. The cost of buying GLP-1 medications without insurance can still run into hundreds of dollars.\n\n\nDr. Catherine Varney, obesity medicine director at the University of Virginia, has about 100 Medicare patients who will probably be eligible for Bridge program. None of them can afford to pay for weight-loss medications out of pocket, she said. Several have told her they are relieved that they may finally be able to obtain the drugs at a reasonable price.\n\n\n“Most of these patients that I wanted to start on this medication are ticking time bombs,” said Varney, who is also a trustee of the Obesity Medicine Association. “They’ve got prediabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, all these cardiac risk factors that are leading to heart attack and stroke.”\n\n\nFor many enrollees, the pilot program is more than just a chance to get weight-loss drugs at a discount, said Patty Nece, past chair of the Obesity Action Coalition, a patient advocacy group with nearly 100,000 members in the US.\n\n\n“A lot of it is about acknowledgement that their disease should be treated like any other disease and essentially have coverage for the medications without outrageous copays,” Nece told CNN.\n\n\nHere’s what we know about the Bridge program.\n\n\nWho is eligible?\n\n\n\nOnly certain Medicare enrollees are eligible. Not only must they be enrolled in a Part D drug coverage plan, they have to meet specific health criteria when they started taking GLP-1 medications, even if it preceded the launch of the Bridge program.\n\n\nThose with a body mass index, or BMI, of 35 or more qualify. Those with a BMI between 30 and 35 must also have one of the following: uncontrolled high blood pressure, prediabetes, a previous heart attack or stroke, blocked arteries in arms or legs with symptoms, chronic kidney disease at Stage 3a or higher, or diastolic heart failure.\n\n\nThose with a BMI between 27 and 30 must also have either prediabetes, a previous heart attack or stroke, or blocked arteries in arms or legs with symptoms.\n\n\nEnrollees are not eligible if they already receive GLP-1 medications through their Medicare Part D drug plan or have type 2 diabetes, moderate to severe sleep apnea or fatty liver disease (which might make them eligible for coverage through Part D).\n\n\nThose who qualify must ask their doctors to send a prescription to the pharmacy and then complete a prior authorization form.\n\n\nMany Medicare enrollees are uncertain whether they are even eligible for the program. Deb Cooperman, 65, lives in western New Jersey and has been paying $450 a month for Zepbound for just over a year. She’s unsure whether she will meet the BMI qualification; it depends on what height her doctor reports, because she says she has lost an inch since she started going to the practice a decade ago.\n\n\nSaving $400 a month would be meaningful since she and her husband are getting ready to retire from their careers as a creative writing workshop leader and a psychologist, respectively. Setting aside the funds for Zepbound, which has allowed her to shed 30% of her body weight and given her more energy and less pain, is a top priority, even if that means cutting back on other activities she enjoys.\n\n\n“Do I want to see a play, or do I want to have this medication that has regulated something that has tortured me since I was a teenager?” Cooperman said. “I want to take the medication. I can skip the play.”\n\n\nSome Medicare enrollees are disappointed that they do not meet the criteria and can’t access the reduced price.\n\n\nDiane Lane-Cormier is one of them. When she first heard about the Bridge program, she was very excited\n\n\n“Maybe I can finally get on something that’s affordable and sustainable,” Lane-Cormier, 68, told CNN.\n\n\nBut that joy was replaced with frustration when she learned she probably won’t qualify because she was prescribed Zepbound last year for sleep apnea — even though she didn’t fill the prescription because the $300 monthly tab was too much for her.\n\n\nLane-Cormier, who has lost about 12 pounds over the past two years through diet and exercise, would like to lose up to 30 more pounds, which she said would help her deal with pain, inflammation and other ailments, as well as improve her quality of life.\n\n\n“I have to just keep working on trying to lose the weight myself,” said the retired nurse who lives in Piedmont, South Carolina.\n\n\nWhat medications can beneficiaries receive, and how?\n\n\n\nThe pilot program covers Wegovy tablets and injections, Zepbound KwikPens and Foundayo tablets. It does not cover single-dose Zepbound vials or pens.\n\n\nBoth Novo Nordisk, which makes Wegovy, and Eli Lilly, which makes Zepbound and Foundayo, say they have enough supply to meet the new demand.\n\n\nNovo Nordisk is stressing the overall health benefits of Wegovy, including lower risk of cardiovascular problems such as heart attacks and strokes.\n\n\n“Seniors should be very motivated to get the near-term immediate weight loss benefit, but without having to sacrifice any long-term outcomes in terms of cardiovascular health,” said Jamey Millar, the company’s executive vice president for US operations.\n\n\nThe medications can be obtained through pharmacies. Eligible enrollees interested in Zepbound and Foundayo can also go to LillyDirect Pharmacy, the drugmaker’s direct-to-consumer website.\n\n\n“For many, this will be the first time obesity treatment has been within reach,” Ilya Yuffa, president of Lilly USA and Global Customer Capabilities, said in a statement.\n\n\nHow much will enrollees have to pay?\n\n\n\nEligible enrollees will pay $50 for a month’s supply. However, that copayment does not count toward their annual deductible or out-of-pocket maximum.\n\n\nThis is a steep discount compared with the drugs’ cash-pay prices, which run between $149 and $449 per month, depending on the medication and dosage. Still, even $50 a month can be too expensive for some senior citizens living on fixed incomes, said Juliette Cubanski, director of the Program on Medicare Policy at KFF, a health policy research group.\n\n\nThose with limited incomes who qualify for Medicare’s Extra Help program will still have to pay the $50 charge.\n\n\nAnd beneficiaries who already receive GLP-1 drugs for diabetes or other approved conditions through their Part D plans are not eligible to participate in the Bridge program.\n\n\nHow many people will sign up, and how much will the pilot program cost taxpayers?\n\n\n\nThat’s a big unknown. CMS is not revealing either its cost projection or its enrollment estimate.\n\n\nHowever, a high-ranking CMS official said last week that he expects that the number of Medicare beneficiaries who will participate with be in single-digit millions initially.\n\n\n“But we’ll see where it scales over time,” Chris Klomp, CMS’s Medicare director, who has been nominated for deputy secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services, said at an Aspen Institute event.\n\n\nAs for the financial impact on Medicare, Klomp said CMS believes that the effort will be cost-neutral over a 24-month period. Adding in a reduction of total cost of care because beneficiaries will be healthier, Klomp said, providing weight loss drugs will be “a material cost-saver.”\n\n\nUnder the Trump administration’s agreement, Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk will sell the drugs to Medicare for $245 for a month’s supply.\n\n\nKFF estimates that 3.8 million beneficiaries – or about 8% of Part D enrollees – could be eligible for Bridge.\n\n\nThe cost to Medicare will depend on how many enrollees actually participate. If 10% to 25% join in July and and fill a monthly prescription through the end of next year, it would cost Medicare between $1.3 billion and $3.3 billion, according to KFF, which looked at data from 2023. But that doesn’t take into account any savings that might be gained if enrollees’ health improves.\n\n\nVarious prior estimates of how many Medicare enrollees might be considered overweight or obese and how much expanding coverage to weight loss drugs would cost don’t take into account the Bridge program’s eligibility requirements.\n\n\nThe Congressional Budget Office previously estimated that 12.5 million enrollees would qualify in 2026 if Medicare were authorized to cover anti-obesity medications. But it expected that only 300,000 would actually start using the drugs that year – though that figure would grow to 1.6 million in 2034.\n\n\nExpanding coverage would cost the federal government $35 billion between 2026 and 2034, the CBO projected. But the total savings from enrollees’ improved health would be small, it said.\n\n\nA Biden administration proposal to allow Medicare estimated that 3.4 million Medicare enrollees would gain access at a total cost of $25 billion over a decade.\n\n\nDoctors interviewed by CNN said they expect a sizeable share of their eligible Medicare patients to seek to join the Bridge program.\n\n\n“The biggest shift is that the conversation changes from ‘I can’t afford treatment’ to ‘Let’s talk about what treatment is right for you,’ ” said Dr. Katherine Saunders, who is on voluntary faculty at Weill Cornell Medicine and co-founder of FlyteHealth, which focuses on obesity treatment.\n\n\nBut, she said, many patients are still confused and concerned about eligibility and affordability, as well as whether coverage will continue after the Bridge program lapses at the end of next year and whether they can access healthcare professionals for ongoing care and monitoring.\n\n\nDr. Jorge Moreno, an obesity specialist at Yale Medicine, is already getting messages from his patients asking about the Bridge program, including some who had been denied coverage in the past.\n\n\nThey are being told to book telehealth appointments after July 1 to discuss the program, though Moreno warns that it may take a little time before they have the drugs in hand.\n\n\n“As the program rolls out, we’ll get the medications to the patients as we can,” he said, noting that his calendar is already “pretty booked.”\n\n\nHow long does the coverage last?\n\n\n\nThe Bridge program will run through the end of 2027. It was originally designed as a six-month effort, after which time Medicare Part D insurers would start providing coverage under a pilot program called the Balance model at the start of next year.\n\n\nInsurer participation in Balance, however, is voluntary. Not enough Part D plans signed up, which prompted CMS to extend the Bridge program to 18 months. The agency is collecting data for a potential launch of the Balance program in the future.\n\n\nInsurers were reluctant to participate because they didn’t have a sense of how much it would cost them to cover weight loss drugs for eligible Medicare enrollees, Cubanski said. They may not have been able to absorb the additional expense without having to raise premiums for everyone.\n\n\nIt’s not clear that insurers will want to sign up for the Balance model for 2028, even after they see how much demand there is under the Bridge program, said Brian Reid, principal of Reid Strategic, a consulting firm on pharmaceutical issues.\n\n\n“There will either have to be a big carrot or a big stick to get the insurers to participate,” Reid said.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Yes,” Donovan said when asked by CNN Sports ahead of the tournament if the USA’s men’s team can win the World Cup.\n\n\n“We have a good enough team to make a deep run in the tournament, for sure. The difficult part is if you get out of your group, now you’re playing a pretty good team. If you win that game, in the round of 32, you’re playing a good team. You win that game and you’re in the quarters. You’re playing one of the big eight teams in the world.\n\n\n“So, can they beat all of those teams? Yes, they absolutely can. Can they do it one after another after another after another, emotionally get up for it? I think they can.\n\n\n“We haven’t seen that, but is it possible? Absolutely, it’s possible,” he added.\n\n\nThe Americans are riding a wave after winning their first two World Cup matches for the first time since 1930. The US team had already secured top spot in Group D before last week’s last-gasp defeat to Turkey. It’s already the most successful US run in a World Cup since Donovan’s first in 2002.\n\n\nAs encouraging as that 2002 run was, the Stars and Stripes haven’t been able to get past the round of 16 since.\n\n\nThe current generation of US players is led by AC Milan superstar Christian Pulisic, who’s now recovered from a recent calf injury. Donovan – who is America’s joint all-time leading scorer – says Pulisic’s importance to his country is crucial.\n\n\n“He’s the one guy who can make a play basically out of nowhere. Players like that in world soccer are not a dime a dozen, right?  They’re hard to find, so he can do that. But also, if he’s playing well, people have to pay attention to him, which makes other people free to play well or to have opportunities to score and create chances,” he said.\n\n\nDonovan says if the USA is to go deep in this year’s tournament, the home crowd will have a massively important role to play.\n\n\n“We saw in 2002 with South Korea, we played Korea, the home country. They ended up getting to the semifinals. They weren’t expected to get to the semis, so if our crowd is behind us, I think everything’s possible,” he said.\n\n\nDuring his own storied career, Donovan would go on to play in three World Cups, becoming his country’s all-time leading scorer in the tournament after netting a total of five times.\n\n\nBut the now 44-year-old also faced his challenges just four years after that 2002 tournament. The US failed to even make it out of group play in 2006 in Germany. Donovan revealed the mental health struggles and depression he faced following that tournament in his new book, “Landon: A Memoir” released earlier this year.\n\n\n“I had a really poor 2006 World Cup and got criticized really harshly for the first time, it tore me up. I mean it destroyed me and I had a two-week period where I couldn’t get off the couch, couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep. I was miserable and I had to make a decision at that time. I don’t want to feel this way anymore. So, if I’m going to keep playing soccer, and there were some moments my agent can attest to this, there were some moments where I said I’m not sure if I want to do this anymore,” Donovan told CNN Sports.\n\n\n“But if I’m going to, I’m going to play in a way that is meaningful and like me and I’m going to make sure that I am healthy off the field so that I can handle these downfalls on the field,” he added.\n\n\nTo their immense credit, Donovan and his teammates came back strong at the 2010 tournament in South Africa with Donovan scoring one of the most iconic goals in American soccer history – a stoppage-time winner against Algeria that saw the Americans reach the last 16.\n\n\n“It was so dramatic. We had two minutes left after that to see out the game to advance to the next round, so essentially that goal put us through to the next round. We had to win. People were watching it, going through this emotional rollercoaster, and then finally, it was like a Hollywood movie, finally the goal happens in the end and there’s celebration and it was awesome,” he said.\n\n\nDonovan has high hopes for this current US team. Bosnia will provide a stern test on Wednesday, but in addition to that raucous, passionate fan base, there’s something else he feels the current group of players should also take inspiration from.\n\n\n“Putting on the jersey and looking down and seeing a crest, but then when you walk out onto the field in a World Cup. In 2006, we were in Kaiserslautern against Italy, and there’s an Air Force base in Germany and there were thousands of military people there singing the national anthem. I have goosebumps when I still talk about it. It was incredible,” he said.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

Circuit Court Judge Debra McCaslin ruled the new trial will begin April 5, 2027.\n\n\nMurdaugh’s attorneys filed several pretrial motions last week, including requests for a change of venue, for further independent testing of DNA evidence and for Murdaugh to get access to a computer in prison.\n\n\nThough McCaslin did not rule on the motions Monday, the judge made clear she intends the trial to move forward without delay.\n\n\n“When I say April 5th, we’re picking a jury and going forward,” she said. “All those issues should be decided by then.”\n\n\nSeparate from the murder case, Murdaugh pleaded guilty to dozens of financial crimes and remains behind bars on concurrent state and federal sentences of 27 and 40 years.\n\n\nDozens of members of the public showed up early to court hoping to snag a seat within view of the man whose sprawling saga has already had enough twists to fill multiple true-crime documentaries, dramatized shows and best-selling books.\n\n\nThe hearing marked the start of the road to retrial for Murdaugh, whose case stems from the June 2021 fatal shootings of Murdaugh’s wife, Maggie, and 22-year-old son, Paul, outside their family home in Islandton, a small community in South Carolina’s Lowcountry.\n\n\nMurdaugh was a partner at a powerful law firm with his name on it, and his father, grandfather and great-grandfather served as the local prosecutor consecutively from 1920 to 2006.\n\n\nBut that prominence belied underlying issues, and the alleged killings of his wife and son were followed by accusations of misappropriated funds, his resignation, a bizarre alleged suicide-for-hire and insurance scam plot, a stint in rehab for drug addiction, dozens of financial crimes, his disbarment and, ultimately, the murder charges.\n\n\nIn 2023, Murdaugh was found guilty of the murders after a six-week trial that featured testimony about his years of embezzlement and theft as an attorney, video placing him at the crime scene and his dramatic admission on the stand that he had repeatedly lied to investigators. He was sentenced to life in prison.\n\n\nMurdaugh’s attorneys appealed the convictions, saying the trial was tainted by the county clerk Becky Hill’s inappropriate comments to jurors implying his guilt. Hill later pleaded guilty to criminal charges connected to the case, though she has never been charged with jury tampering.\n\n\nLast month, the state Supreme Court overturned the murder convictions and ordered a new trial, saying his previous trial was marred by Hill’s “improper” influence.\n\n\nDefense pushes for advanced DNA testing\n\n\n\nThe defense’s pretrial motions focus on issues related to venue and evidence as well as Murdaugh’s preparation for court and appearance.\n\n\nMurdaugh’s attorneys argued their client cannot receive “the fair and impartial trial guaranteed to him” in the 14th Circuit, which includes Colleton County, where his 2023 double-murder trial was held.\n\n\n“The basis for this motion is that this is among the most heavily publicized criminal prosecutions in the history of this state,” wrote Murdaugh’s attorneys in the motion. “For years, Defendant, his family, and the law firm with which his family was associated for generations have been the subject of saturating, sensational and continuous media coverage.”\n\n\nThe attorneys noted the Fourteenth Circuit is “where the Murdaugh name has been synonymous with the local legal system for nearly a century, where the population is small and interconnected, and where the very documentaries, books, and films that have shaped public opinion were researched, filmed, and produced.”\n\n\nMcCaslin said Monday she will give prosecutors time to respond to the motion and discuss it with Murdaugh’s attorneys. If the attorneys cannot agree on whether or where to move the trial location, she will decide.\n\n\nThe attorneys also filed a motion seeking an order to require the state to produce DNA evidence for an independent laboratory review.\n\n\n“DNA evidence was collected from underneath Maggie Murdaugh’s left-hand fingernails at the scene,” wrote Murdaugh’s attorneys. “SLED (the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division) determined this DNA was from an unknown and unrelated male. No further analysis was attempted. This evidence, however, is crucial to the defense.”\n\n\nMurdaugh’s attorneys on Monday argued DNA analysis technology has advanced significantly since the killings in 2021.\n\n\nThey suggested they would send the DNA sample to a laboratory such as Othram, a Texas-based lab that has emerged as a leader in helping to solve cold cases through DNA sequencing combined with genealogy mapping. The lab was responsible for analyzing the DNA sample that was critical to identifying and ultimately convicting University of Idaho student murderer Bryan Kohberger.\n\n\n“We don’t think it’s a red herring. We think it’s very important,” defense attorney Jim Griffin said. “It may turn out to be innocuous – we don’t know. But it’s worth looking into.”\n\n\nThe judge is expected to decide on the issue at the next pretrial hearing, set for August 14.\n\n\nA third motion requests that the South Carolina Department of Corrections allow Murdaugh to access a “secure laptop computer” so he can go over any material associated with his trial.\n\n\nThe warden overseeing Murdaugh in prison informed McCaslin he would not allow Murdaugh to keep a laptop in his cell “for safety reasons,” the judge said. However, she said she would discuss with the warden the possibility of keeping a laptop in the warden’s office that the inmate would be allowed to view under the supervision of a law clerk or attorney.\n\n\nFinally, Murdaugh and prosecutors filed motions with unusually personal debate about his attire and appearance in court.\n\n\nMurdaugh’s team initially asked that he be allowed to come to all court appearances, including pretrial hearings, wearing civilian clothes and unshackled. Given the cameras in the courtroom, his defense argued – much like lawyers have in Tyler Robinson’s case in the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk – that his appearance in shackles and a prison outfit could influence potential jurors.\n\n\n“Bringing him around in a jumpsuit shackled like an animal impacts their view,” defense attorney Dick Harpootlian said of potential jurors. “It’s going to make it more difficult for us to get a jury.”\n\n\nMurdaugh’s defense had withdrawn the motion, but renewed it again at Monday’s hearing.\n\n\n“This guy is not a serial killer. He is not Ted Bundy. He stole some money. That’s all he’s convicted of,” Harpootlian told the judge.\n\n\nProsecutors pushed back on the request in court, arguing it is standard treatment for convicted inmates – and reminded the court Murdaugh is still charged with murder.\n\n\nThe argument echoed their response to the original motion, in which prosecutors wrote the presence of cameras “is no basis to ignore normal security concerns” and sharply criticized Murdaugh personally.\n\n\n“This case is ultimately about the fact that Defendant thinks he is special. He is not,” prosecutors said.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

Nancy Pelosi of California will not be returning to Congress in January.\n\n\nCNN has learned where she will direct her legendary energy — at the University of California, Berkeley, which is creating the Nancy Pelosi Institute. The institute, dedicated to research, learning and civic engagement, is slated to open in January 2027.\n\n\n“I think all of us in public service who have an opportunity to do so, want to use our experience to train leaders for the future,” Pelosi said in a phone interview.\n\n\n“I viewed this as a liberation for me from the political, not politics, but partisanship. Because you’re going to an academic institution. It’s about what our founders had in mind with our Constitution, and it’s a beautiful story to tell,” she said.\n\n\nThe former House speaker said a group of administrators and about eight professors at Berkeley approached her almost a year ago with the idea of the Nancy Pelosi Institute. She said she was complimented and, even, “dazzled” by the proposal, but also surprised — so much so that she took some time before agreeing to go forward.\n\n\nWhat intrigued Pelosi the most, she said, was the notion of a bipartisan academic center at Berkeley, “the epitome of public education,” with a concentration on issues she spent her decadeslong political career focused on.\n\n\n“I loved it because they talked about human rights in the US and in the world, talking about and addressing the challenges to our democracy, talking about challenges of the climate and economic income inequity,” Pelosi, 86, said.\n\n\nAfter hearing their ideas, Pelosi agreed to raise $25 million before the announcement, which the famously prodigious fundraiser said she did “quite easily.” The university said in a press release that this is a $50 million campaign.\n\n\nUnlike other academic institutes or eponymous endeavors, Pelosi said this will not be a “brick-and-mortar thing” but rather “programmatic.”\n\n\nShe was asked: You won’t see “Nancy Pelosi Institute” on a building?\n\n\n“I hope not,” she replied with a laugh.\n\n\n“They have classrooms, they have auditoriums, they have theaters,” she added.\n\n\nWhile Pelosi’s papers from her time as speaker of the House are at the Library of Congress, she said the institute will display of some of the awards she received, the legislation she helped pass, and, maybe, even some “personal effects” to make it “fun and interesting to get people there.” This exhibit is slated to open in spring of 2027.\n\n\n“It’s about technology. Anything you wany to convey, you can convey technologically. It doesn’t mean you don’t want physical evidence so that people have excitement about seeing the original … but people want to know how these things happened more than what they were exactly,” Pelsoi said.\n\n\nThe California congresswoman said she will bring high-profile people from both parties to visit and lecture at Berkeley, and that she will even co-teach a class with professor Eric Schickler, a leading scholar on Congress.\n\n\n“If you’re trying to engage another generation to prepare them for the future, you must listen to them. That’s the exciting part of it.” Pelosi said.\n\n\nTo be sure, the two-time House speaker still has this November’s elections on her mind, saying, unsolicited, that “we’re going to win the House,”\n\n\n“I’m so proud of what I leave behind, and how they go on to what’s next,” Pelosi said.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Inmediatamente se apresuró a llegar a su casa en La Guaira, a 18 millas al norte de la capital.\n\n\n“Lo que encontró fue una escena horrible”, dijo Ardiles. “No encontró absolutamente nada de lo que había sido el edificio. Nuestra esperanza es que no estuvieran allí”.\n\n\nTrejo revisó los escombros y buscó pistas en la zona, pidiendo ayuda que requería maquinaria pesada, según CNN Español.\n\n\nAmigos y compañeros de equipo también habían hecho un video suplicando por más maquinaria.\n\n\n“En este momento solo tenemos una máquina, pero no es suficiente”, dijo Robert Garcés, quien juega para el Metropolitanos F.C. de Venezuela.\n\n\nSin embargo, la búsqueda llegó a un final desgarrador.\n\n\nEl domingo, el Club Sport Marítimo La Guaira dijo que “lamenta profundamente la irreparable pérdida” de la familia de Trejo en una publicación en redes sociales, compartiendo una foto de los cuatro juntos; Trejo con una mano sobre el hombro de su hija y la otra alrededor de su esposa.\n\n\n“Lucas, no estás solo. Tu familia en Marítimo La Guaira está contigo”, decía la publicación.El desastre de la semana pasada, que el Servicio Geológico de Estados Unidos calificó como un raro “doblete”, con dos grandes terremotos ocurriendo con solo 39 segundos de diferencia, también ha matado y afectado a varios futbolistas en el país.\n\n\nYimvert Berroterán, un joven talento prometedor, estuvo entre las cientos de personas que murieron, dijeron el viernes la selección nacional de Venezuela y la Federación Venezolana de Fútbol (FVF).\n\n\nEl joven de 18 años jugó en la Copa Mundial Sub-17 en Doha hace unos meses y recientemente para la selección nacional Sub-20.\n\n\nEl sismo también cobró la vida de los jóvenes jugadores Víctor Palacios y Razan Sijaa, según la FVF y sus respectivos clubes.\n\n\nLa pareja de otro jugador, Héctor Bello, murió mientras protegía a su hija pequeña, dijo Bello el sábado en redes sociales.\n\n\n“Me aseguraré de recordarle a nuestra niña lo maravillosa que eras y cuánto la amabas”, escribió Bello en una publicación en Instagram.\n\n\nEntre los fallecidos también hay turistas y residentes extranjeros, incluidos ocho ciudadanos chinos, según informaron el domingo medios estatales chinos.\n\n\nEl Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores de España informó que al menos nueve ciudadanos españoles han muerto y más de 100 están desaparecidos.\n\n\nLa búsqueda ya ha superado las primeras 72 horas, la ventana más crítica para encontrar sobrevivientes.\n\n\nHistóricamente, después de ese periodo, las posibilidades de sobrevivir sin una fuente de agua disminuyen rápidamente. Algunos estudios indican que la mayoría de los rescates con vida ocurren dentro de los primeros cinco o seis días.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

La extensa cúpula de calor persistirá sobre el este, especialmente en el corredor de la I-95, y alcanzará su punto máximo este viernes, justo a tiempo para el largo fin de semana del 4 de julio.\n\n\nMuchas zonas soportarán varios días consecutivos con temperaturas cercanas o superiores a los 38 °C, mientras que la humedad hará que los índices de calor, o temperaturas de “sensación térmica”, lleguen a los 43 °C o más.\n\n\nLas olas de calor en todo el mundo se están volviendo más intensas y frecuentes debido al calentamiento causado por el ser humano a partir de la contaminación por combustibles fósiles. Las olas de calor récord en Europa la semana pasada y en el oeste de Estados Unidos en marzo son dos ejemplos recientes.\n\n\nEl calor también es el tipo de clima más mortal en Estados Unidos, con un promedio anual de muertes mayor que el de tornados, huracanes y rayos combinados, según las estadísticas del servicio meteorológico.\n\n\nLa mayor preocupación no es solo cuán calurosas se vuelven las tardes, sino también que el calor no se detendrá cuando se ponga el sol. La combinación de varios días consecutivos de calor y noches excepcionalmente cálidas en una vasta área geográfica representa una grave amenaza para la salud.\n\n\nMás de 100 récords diarios de temperaturas máximas podrían igualarse o superarse, pero más de 250 récords de temperaturas mínimas nocturnas cálidas podrían ser desafiados solo esta semana.\n\n\nEl mensaje del Servicio Meteorológico Nacional ha sido consistente: esta ola de calor es diferente. En el este de Virginia, el servicio meteorológico dice que esta podría ser la ola de calor más significativa de la región desde julio de 2012, que resultó en una decena de muertes en el estado, entre más de 30 fallecimientos relacionados con el calor en cuatro estados. Otras oficinas de pronóstico desde el Atlántico medio hasta Nueva Inglaterra advierten de que varios días de calor peligroso y noches inusualmente cálidas crearán un riesgo elevado de enfermedades relacionadas con el calor.\n\n\nSe pronostica que Richmond, Virginia, superará los 38 °C durante tres días consecutivos, lo que podría romper récords diarios cada día y acercarse a las temperaturas más altas registradas en julio en la ciudad.\n\n\nEn Carolina del Norte, no se espera que Raleigh desafíe su récord histórico de temperatura máxima de 41 °C, pero las temperaturas mínimas nocturnas a finales de esta semana podrían acercarse al récord histórico de temperatura mínima nocturna más cálida de la ciudad, de 27 °C.\n\n\nEn la ciudad de Washington, máximas de 38 °C el jueves y 39,4 °C el viernes romperían récords diarios si se confirma el pronóstico, mientras que las temperaturas nocturnas podrían mantenerse por encima de los 27 °C, amenazando los récords de mínimas cálidas. La ciudad de Nueva York podría igualar tanto su récord diario de temperatura máxima el jueves como su récord de temperatura mínima nocturna más cálida la noche del jueves.\n\n\nLa próxima ola de calor también tendrá un alcance masivo. Más de 100 millones de personas se encuentran en un nivel 3 de 4 de riesgo de calor “mayor” o nivel 4 de 4 de riesgo de calor “extremo”, desde el sur profundo hasta el norte, en partes de Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan y Maine, y tan al este como Nueva York y Boston, en uno o más días de esta semana, según el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional.\n\n\nUn calor tan severo puede afectar a cualquier persona que no cuente con la refrigeración o hidratación adecuada, de acuerdo con el servicio meteorológico. Se espera poco alivio durante la noche, ya que la alta humedad mantiene las temperaturas elevadas e impide que el sudor se evapore de manera eficiente, dificultando que el cuerpo se enfríe.\n\n\nLas temperaturas mínimas esta semana no bajarán de los 21 a 24 grados Celsius en el Medio Oeste y los Grandes Lagos. Las zonas urbanas, donde el concreto y el asfalto absorben el calor durante el día y lo liberan lentamente durante la noche, podrían tener dificultades para bajar mucho de los 27 grados.\n\n\nLa exposición prolongada al calor extremo puede causar enfermedades como agotamiento por calor, calambres por calor y el tipo más grave, el golpe de calor, según los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades de EE.UU. Las visitas a las salas de emergencia por enfermedades relacionadas con el calor aumentan en los días de riesgo “mayor” y “extremo”, según el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional.\n\n\nSe espera que la ola de calor alcance su punto máximo durante uno de los periodos más concurridos de viajes y celebraciones al aire libre del año. Millones de estadounidenses que asistan a desfiles, parrilladas, eventos deportivos y fuegos artificiales del 4 de julio deben prepararse para un calor peligroso, especialmente durante las horas de la tarde y el inicio de la noche.\n\n\nPartes del Medio Oeste y el Noreste verán que las temperaturas disminuyen más adelante en el fin de semana festivo, a medida que la cresta de alta presión en los niveles superiores se debilita y se desplaza hacia el oeste, permitiendo el desarrollo de tormentas eléctricas. Sin embargo, se espera que las temperaturas por encima del promedio persistan en gran parte del sur durante la semana siguiente.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Irán no emitió comentarios de inmediato.\n\n\nCuatro días de ataques iraníes contra buques mercantes, represalias estadounidenses y los posteriores ataques de Teherán contra bases estadounidenses y aliados del Golfo pusieron en riesgo una escalada hacia un conflicto más amplio y comprometieron la ayuda económica mundial justo cuando el petróleo comenzaba a transitar por el estrecho. Además, parece que violaron los términos del memorando de entendimiento que ambas partes firmaron.\n\n\nIrán buscaba defender su nueva ventaja estratégica: la capacidad de controlar el tráfico marítimo en una vía crucial para la economía global. Sus ataques con misiles contra los Estados del Golfo y objetivos estadounidenses sugerían un intento de establecer un nuevo paradigma estratégico regional de posguerra. Teherán también parecía estar ejerciendo presión política sobre el presidente Donald Trump y poniendo a prueba su paciencia mientras intentaba preservar lo que él mismo había calificado como un acuerdo triunfal para poner fin a la guerra.\n\n\nWashington no podía permitir que Irán controlara el tráfico marítimo a través del estrecho. Hacerlo implicaría que EE.UU. fue derrotado en una guerra que iniciada por ellos mismos. La República Islámica adquiriría la capacidad de tomar como rehén la economía global y de ejercer presión política sobre Estados Unidos en cualquier momento. En consecuencia, el poder estadounidense en la región, expresado a través de su capacidad para proteger a sus aliados, se debilitaría.\n\n\nLa beligerancia de Irán se produjo tras el viaje al Golfo del secretario de Estado Marco Rubio la semana pasada, en el que Estados Unidos y sus aliados respaldaron la navegación libre, incondicional y sin restricciones en el estrecho, sin peajes, tasas ni “intentos de control” por parte de Irán. Esto se interpretó como un intento de resolver las ambigüedades del acuerdo, que, si bien estipulaba que Irán debía restablecer el libre paso y el tráfico marítimo, parecía dejar abierta la posibilidad de monetizar la navegación en el futuro.\n\n\nPero el ciclo de provocaciones iraníes y represalias estadounidenses era un juego peligroso. Amenazaba con cobrar impulso propio, con el prestigio del volátil presidente estadounidense en juego, en una semana en la que intentaba aparentar ser todopoderoso y convertirse en el centro de las celebraciones del 250 aniversario de la Declaración de Independencia.\n\n\nTrump amenazó el domingo con que, si Irán seguía violando el alto el fuego, este dejaría de existir. Si bien sus partidarios podrían concluir que su advertencia logró que Teherán retrocediera, los iraníes aprendieron a no tomarse en serio su retórica más belicosa durante la guerra. Y el presidente accedió a lo que muchos críticos consideraron una capitulación ante Irán, tras argumentar que no quería provocar una grave crisis económica al continuar el conflicto.\n\n\nPero a menudo se define a Trump por su inconsistencia. En el futuro, podría ser peligroso para Teherán suponer que siempre actuará de forma predecible o que evitará una escalada importante.\n\n\nSin embargo, tras los últimos brotes de violencia, siempre existió una lógica estratégica que desaconsejaba el regreso a una guerra a gran escala. Irán está obteniendo enormes beneficios del memorando de entendimiento. Estados Unidos ha tomado medidas para levantar algunas sanciones a la espera de un acuerdo definitivo. Y Teherán ha comenzado a exportar millones de barriles de su propio petróleo nuevamente, en un intento por reactivar una economía debilitada.\n\n\nMientras tanto, el aumento del tráfico marítimo a través del estrecho contribuyó a estabilizar los precios mundiales del petróleo y a ofrecer gasolina más barata, un factor importante dado que la crisis de asequibilidad afecta negativamente la popularidad de Trump antes de las elecciones intermedias. El precio promedio de la gasolina en Estados Unidos bajó a US$ 3,87 por galón el domingo, según la AAA. Si bien este precio sigue siendo un 30 % superior al de antes de la guerra, se encuentra muy por debajo del máximo de US$ 4,56 alcanzado a finales de mayo.\n\n\nA diferencia de algunos de sus predecesores modernos, Trump evitó la tentación de redoblar la apuesta y escalar una guerra que parecía encaminarse hacia un desenlace indeciso que dañaría su reputación. Sin embargo, las marcadas diferencias entre Estados Unidos e Irán respecto al estrecho plantean nuevas dudas sobre su enfoque. Antes de la guerra que Trump inició, el estrecho estaba abierto. Y los enfrentamientos sobre su estado sugieren que las futuras conversaciones sobre cuestiones más complejas, como el programa nuclear iraní, serán aún más difíciles.\n\n\nUn funcionario estadounidense declaró el domingo que todos los drones y misiles iraníes dirigidos contra objetivos estadounidenses en los países vecinos de Kuwait y Bahrein fueron derribados o no alcanzaron sus objetivos, según informó Zachary Cohen de CNN. Estados Unidos había atacado previamente objetivos, incluyendo depósitos iraníes de drones y misiles en las cercanías del estrecho de Ormuz. Los enfrentamientos se desencadenaron por un ataque iraní contra un buque portacontenedores con bandera de Singapur cerca de la zona el jueves.\n\n\nEl embajador de Estados Unidos ante las Naciones Unidas, Mike Waltz, advirtió el domingo de que Trump respondería a la agresión iraní. “Si el régimen iraní cree por un segundo que el presidente Trump se va a quedar de brazos cruzados mientras Irán sigue atacando el transporte marítimo internacional o nuestras bases sin respuesta, están muy equivocados”, declaró Waltz en el programa “Fox News Sunday”.\n\n\nLa creciente tensión en Medio Oriente sugiere que el triunfalismo de Trump al ensalzar el memorando de entendimiento —un marco de 14 puntos para apaciguar los combates y alcanzar un acuerdo final sobre todos los temas en un plazo de 60 días— fue prematuro.\n\n\nEl conflicto y sus consecuencias han suscitado dudas sobre la comprensión que tiene el Gobierno de las fuerzas políticas e históricas que impulsan al Gobierno Revolucionario iraní y sus habituales tácticas de negociación intransigentes. Los altos el fuego en Medio Oriente a menudo no detienen todos los intercambios militares, incluso si establecen un límite que puede impedir el regreso a una guerra total. Y las guerras en la región suelen envalentonar a nuevas generaciones de extremistas, como aquellos en Irán que podrían estar orquestando sus esfuerzos para consolidar su nueva influencia sobre el estrecho de Ormuz.\n\n\nJake Sullivan, exasesor de seguridad nacional de la administración Biden, predijo que los recientes acontecimientos eran el preludio de un período de tensión durante las negociaciones. El equipo de Trump difícilmente recibirá con agrado su consejo. Sin embargo, durante la administración Obama, Sullivan desempeñó un papel clave en las primeras etapas de las conversaciones sobre el acuerdo internacional que limitó el programa nuclear iraní, acuerdo que Trump anuló durante su primer mandato.\n\n\n“Los iraníes están presionando para ejercer control sobre el estrecho, para recordarle al mundo que controlan esa vía marítima, y ​​luego retroceden cuando la administración Trump se opone con suficiente vehemencia porque los iraníes quieren seguir obteniendo los beneficios inesperados que han sacado de este memorando de entendimiento”, dijo Sullivan a Fareed Zakaria de CNN el domingo, prediciendo con precisión los acontecimientos de la noche.\n\n\n“En lo que respecta al tema nuclear, creo que irán ofreciendo concesiones muy pequeñas poco a poco, luego las retirarán, las volverán a presentar y luego las volverán a retirar para mantener a Estados Unidos en la mesa de negociaciones”, dijo Sullivan, poniendo en duda las posibilidades de lograr un progreso sólido en 60 días.\n\n\nEs probable que los renovados enfrentamientos en Medio Oriente reaviven el rencor partidista en Washington en torno al acuerdo.\n\n\nEl senador republicano Roger Marshall, de Kansas, restó importancia a los recientes enfrentamientos entre Estados Unidos e Irán. “La guerra principal ha terminado, y esto es casi como una operación de limpieza”, dijo Marshall refiriéndose a un conflicto profundamente impopular en Estados Unidos. En el programa “Meet the Press” de NBC, insistió en que Washington estaba logrando “grandes avances” en materia diplomática.\n\n\nLos demócratas han calificado el memorando de entendimiento de Trump como una humillante derrota para Estados Unidos, que dista mucho de sus afirmaciones de haber resuelto el conflicto. Además, podría avivar un acalorado debate en el Congreso sobre las facultades bélicas de Trump y la justificación legal para el inicio de la guerra, un tema que también preocupa a algunos republicanos.\n\n\nLo que ocurra a continuación en Medio Oriente tendrá graves implicaciones políticas y estratégicas.\n\n\nLa cuestión clave es si los enfrentamientos por el estrecho seguirán manteniéndose a un nivel controlable o si, por el contrario, provocarán y destruirán todo el acuerdo y el proceso diplomático, sumiendo a la región de nuevo en una guerra a gran escala.\n\n\nEsto pondría a prueba la clara preferencia de Trump por no prolongar un conflicto que ha demostrado ser un enorme lastre político. Sin embargo, los continuos desafíos iraníes agotarían la tolerancia de un presidente cuya imagen pública gira en torno a su ostentosa demostración de poder y fuerza a nivel global.\n\n\nEn última instancia, el regreso a la diplomacia podría confirmar las predicciones de Sullivan sobre un proceso doloroso y prolongado. Incluso si se restablece una paz frágil, es improbable que Trump pueda salir fácilmente de la guerra.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

First, that Netanyahu will once again rely on the anti-Arab rhetoric that his party has employed for years. And second, that Israel’s former military chief Eisenkot is now seen as the main political threat to the country’s longest-serving leader.\n\n\nEisenkot’s name may not yet resonate internationally, but in Israel, it has grown increasingly prominent, supplanting that of former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett as the main challenger to Netanyahu. An adviser to Netanyahu said they have 400 more videos about Eisenkot to release.\n\n\nEisenkot’s Yashar party, “straight” or “honest” in Hebrew and founded less than a year ago, had been languishing in the single digits in most polls until recently. Now, most surveys show it running close to Likud and ahead of the joint list formed by Bennett and another former prime minister, Yair Lapid.\n\n\nThe two had sought to fold Eisenkot into a unified anti-Netanyahu bloc. But he declined, opting to run independently instead, and has now surpassed them in multiple polls.\n\n\nThe latest Channel 12 poll projects that Eisenkot’s party would take 21 seats in Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, just behind Likud’s 23 and ahead of Bennett-Lapid’s 18. Asked who was better suited to serve as prime minister, 38% of respondents named Eisenkot; 36% said Netanyahu. Other major pollsters show a similar trend.\n\n\nThe shift is reflected in Likud’s messaging, which has begun treating Eisenkot as Netanyahu’s primary rival after previously focusing on Bennett.\n\n\nIn recent weeks, campaign videos mocking Eisenkot’s heavily accented English started circulating, contrasting it with the polished international delivery of Netanyahu, who graduated from high school in Pennsylvania. “Gadi wouldn’t strike Iran,” was another emerging line of attack.\n\n\nYet that contrast may also be part of Eisenkot’s appeal, analysts say. In style and public persona, he is Netanyahu’s polar opposite, more than any rival in years.\n\n\nNetanyahu, 76, has spent decades mastering political theater, sharp messaging and grand performances. Eisenkot is soft spoken, understated and undramatic – not the stuff of viral memes – a former military planner focused on process and strategy.\n\n\nTheir biographies reinforce the differences. Netanyahu, the son of a historian, grew up in Jerusalem’s elite circles and served in the military’s prestigious Sayeret Matkal commando unit. Eisenkot, 66, is the second of nine children born to Moroccan immigrants. He was raised in Tiberias and Eilat, outside Israel’s traditional centers of power and influence. As a soldier, he rose through the Golani Brigade to become the Israel Defense Forces’ (IDF) chief of staff from 2015 to 2019, picked by Netanyahu.\n\n\n“Under your command, Gadi, the IDF carried out great work,” Netanyahu said in Eisenkot’s 2019 retiring ceremony. “We salute you, for your many merits as fighter and commander,” he said.\n\n\nHis tenure saw both political pressure and controversy. In 2016, Eisenkot presided over the prosecution of Elor Azaria, a combat medic convicted of killing a wounded Palestinian attacker in Hebron, a case that became a political flashpoint over military ethics and rules of engagement. He supported the military’s legal process despite significant right-wing pressure, including Netanyahu himself.\n\n\nEisenkot entered politics in 2022 under the leadership of another former military chief, Benny Gantz. Together, they joined Netanyahu’s emergency war cabinet after October 7. Over time, Eisenkot grew increasingly critical of the government’s conduct during the war and the absence of a clear strategy, particularly regarding the hostages held in Gaza.\n\n\n“The war is being conducted through tactical gains, without significant moves to achieve strategic objectives,” he wrote in a February 2024 letter to Netanyahu and the war cabinet.\n\n\nThe war also reshaped his personal story. Two months into the fighting, his youngest son, Gal, was killed in Gaza. Two of his nephews were later killed in combat. All while Netanyahu’s own son, Yair, spent a significant portion of the war in Miami, and did not serve in reserve duty.\n\n\n“We will continue to be a united and happy family so that your sacrifice will not be in vain,” Eisenkot said at the funeral of his son. “We will do everything to be worthy – and make the right decisions for those who sacrificed, your brothers in arms, and for the entire Israeli people.”\n\n\nBy June 2024, Eisenkot and Gantz withdrew from the emergency war cabinet, citing the absence of an endgame. A year later, Eisenkot split from Gantz to form his own party, which has steadily gained momentum.\n\n\n“He comes across to people as someone they want to hug,” columnist Nachum Barnea wrote in Yedioth Aharonot this week, describing Eisenkot’s appeal as “emotional,” and tracing it to the combination of him being a former chief of staff, a bereaved father, and a Moroccan son from the periphery.\n\n\nHis background may carry political significance. Mizrahi voters – Jews of Middle Eastern and North African descent – are traditionally a core Likud constituency, but Israel has never had a Mizrahi prime minister. Even Likud lawmaker David Bitan recently acknowledged in an interview that Eisenkot’s background and personal story “give him a very interesting advantage.” Yigal Guetta, a former lawmaker from the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, said it bluntly on Israel’s Channel 12 News. “Yes, a Moroccan prime minister!”\n\n\nStill, with some four months until the election, polling shows Eisenkot is far from securing a decisive victory or having an easy path to a governing coalition. Netanyahu is a seasoned and skillful campaigner with a well-established political apparatus. Eisenkot has never run a national race on his own.\n\n\nNetanyahu’s allies have already escalated their attacks. On pro-Netanyahu Channel 14, panelists have accused Eisenkot of past leniency toward Hezbollah figures – claims he rejects and over which he has said he is weighing legal action.\n\n\nLikud messaging has also returned to a familiar argument aimed at right-leaning voters: that any anti-Netanyahu coalition would depend on the support of Arab parties. Instead of directing that attack at Bennett or Lapid, it’s now aimed at Eisenkot.\n\n\nCoalition arithmetic remains the central challenge, not just for Eisenkot but for the entire anti-Netanyahu bloc. Even if polls point to a majority, a potential coalition spanning left, right, center and Arab parties would face real difficulty forming a government – and keeping it together. \n\n\nNonetheless, Anshel Pfeffer, Israel correspondent for The Economist and the author of one of Netanyahu’s biographies, says that Eisenkot stands out from previous challengers.\n\n\n“There is an ongoing Israeli audition since 1996 seeking for the person who will bring down Netanyahu,” he said. “Those who succeeded, like Ehud Barak and Ariel Sharon, did so by being fundamentally different. Those who failed often tried to imitate him.” It’s a pattern Pfeffer characterized as “WannaBibis.”\n\n\nEisenkot, in his view, is not following that script. “There is only one Netanyahu. Eisenkot is the first in years who is trying to beat Netanyahu by being his opposite,” he said.\n\n\nPfeffer questions how far that difference extends, noting that Eisenkot was a central figure in shaping Israel’s military strategy, including the “Dahiyeh doctrine” of using overwhelming force against civilian infrastructure to deter future militant attacks, developed after the 2006 Lebanon war, and the strategic planning at the outset of the Gaza war. “Personality-wise, he is different,” Pfeffer said, “but in terms of policy, it’s less clear.”\n\n\nNetanyahu has seen multiple challengers rise on waves of public hope and support, only to fall short against his political skills. For now, the contrast with Netanyahu appears to be driving Eisenkot’s momentum.\n\n\n“Eisenkot is not Netanyahu and can never be. But that may be precisely what many Israelis are looking for: a fundamentally different style of leadership,” Pfeffer said.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Your family at Maritime La Guaira is with you,” it said.\n\n\nThe disaster last week, which the US Geological Survey said was a rare “doublet,” with two major earthquakes striking just 39 seconds apart, has also killed and impacted several soccer players in the country.\n\n\nYimvert Berroteran, a promising young talent, was among the hundreds of people who died, the Venezuelan national team and the Venezuelan Football Federation (FVF) said Friday.\n\n\nThe 18-year-old played at the U-17 World Cup in Doha a few months ago and recently for the U-20 national team.\n\n\nThe quake also claimed the lives of young players Víctor Palacios and Razan Sijaa, according to FVF and their respective clubs.\n\n\nThe partner of another player, Héctor Bello, died while protecting their toddler, Bello said Saturday on social media.\n\n\n“I’ll make sure to remind our baby girl how wonderful you were and how much you loved her,” Bello wrote in a post.\n\n\nTourists and foreign residents are also among the dead, including eight Chinese nationals, Chinese state media said Sunday.\n\n\nSpain’s foreign ministry said at least nine Spanish nationals have died and over 100 are missing.\n\n\nThe search has now surpassed the first 72 hours –– the most critical window for finding survivors.\n\n\nHistorically, after that period, the chances of survival without a water source diminish rapidly. Some studies say the majority of live rescues happen within the first five or six days.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

The sprawling heat dome will linger over the East, particularly the Interstate 95 corridor, and peak by Friday, just in time for the long Fourth of July weekend.\n\n\n Get your heat forecast on CNN Weather for iPhone\n\n\nMany areas will endure consecutive days of temperatures in the mid-90s to low 100s. Humidity will make it feel even hotter and make it harder to cool down — pushing “feels like” temperatures as high as 110 degrees or more.\n\n\nDaily record high temperatures will be threatened in dozens of locations, most from Tuesday through Saturday. Charlotte, North Carolina, Cleveland, New York City, Pittsburgh and Washington, DC, are just some of the cities where records could fall.\n\n\nOn Thursday, New York City’s Central Park could record its first 100-degree temperature since July 2012, although the Big Apple came close last year when it hit 99 degrees in June. Washington, DC, could have three or more consecutive days of 100-degree heat for just the eighth time on record. The capital’s longest stretch is four days, last set in 2024.\n\n\nHeat waves worldwide are becoming more harsh and frequent because of human-caused warming from fossil fuel pollution. The record-shattering heat waves in Europe last week and in the western US in March are two recent examples.\n\n\nHeat is the deadliest type of weather in the US, with a higher annual average death toll than tornadoes, hurricanes and lightning combined, according to weather service statistics.\n\n\nThe heat won’t end at sunset\n\n\n\nThe biggest concern isn’t just how hot afternoons become, but also that the heat won’t stop when the sun goes down. The combination of several consecutive hot days and exceptionally warm nights across a huge geographic area poses a serious health threat.\n\n\nOver 100 daily record highs could be tied or broken, but over 250 record warm overnight lows could be challenged this week alone.\n\n\nThe message from the National Weather Service has been consistent: This heat wave is different.\n\n\nIn eastern Virginia, the weather service says this could be the region’s most significant heat wave since July 2012, which resulted in a dozen deaths in the state, among the more than 30 heat-related fatalities across four states. Other forecast offices from the Mid-Atlantic to New England are warning that several days of dangerous heat and unusually warm nights will create a heightened risk of heat-related illness.\n\n\nRichmond, Virginia, is forecast to top 100 degrees for three consecutive days, potentially breaking daily records each day while approaching the city’s hottest July temperatures on record.\n\n\nIn North Carolina, Raleigh isn’t expected to challenge its all-time high temperature record of 106 degrees, but overnight lows late this week could flirt with the city’s all-time warm overnight low record of 80 degrees.\n\n\nIn Washington, DC, highs of 102 degrees Thursday and 103 degrees Friday would break daily records if the forecast verifies, while overnight temperatures could remain above 80 degrees, threatening record warm lows.\n\n\nNew York City could tie both its daily high temperature record Thursday and its record warm overnight low Thursday night.\n\n\nThe coming heat wave will also have a massive reach. More than 100 million people are in a Level 3 of 4 “major” or Level 4 of 4 “extreme” heat risk from the Deep South to as far north as parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and Maine, and as far east as New York and Boston on one or more day this week, according to the National Weather Service.\n\n\nHeat this severe can affect anyone without proper cooling or hydration, according to the weather service. Little relief is expected at night as high humidity keeps temperatures elevated and prevents sweat from evaporating efficiently, making it harder for the body to cool itself.\n\n\nLow temperatures this week won’t fall below the lower-to-middle 70s in the Midwest and Great Lakes. Urban areas, where concrete and asphalt absorb heat during the day and slowly release it overnight, could struggle to fall much below 80 degrees.\n\n\nProlonged exposure to extreme heat can cause illnesses like heat exhaustion, heat cramps, and the most serious type, heat stroke, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Emergency room visits for heat-related illness surge on “major” and “extreme” risk days, according to the National Weather Service.\n\n\nHeat collides with July Fourth holiday\n\n\n\nThe heat wave is expected to peak during one of the busiest travel and outdoor celebration periods of the year. Millions of Americans attending parades, cookouts, sporting events and Fourth of July fireworks should prepare for dangerous heat, particularly during the afternoon and early evening hours.\n\n\nWashington, DC, is prepping for a surge of visitors during events celebrating America’s 250th anniversary this week. And while marquee events like Friday’s “A Capitol Fourth” concert and Saturday’s fireworks display are being held at night, organizers are also touting daytime attractions like DC’s monuments, waterfronts and zoo.\n\n\nNew York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has rolled out several heat awareness initiatives this month, including updating the city’s more than 2,000 LinkNYC kiosks to provide directions to cooling centers within a 10-minute walk.\n\n\nIn Nashville, crews will conduct “Heat Patrols” starting Monday afternoon to “check on vulnerable people including the unhoused,” and offer cold water and other resources, according to the city’s Office of Emergency Management.\n\n\nParts of the Midwest and Northeast will see temperatures ease later in the holiday weekend as the upper-level ridge of high pressure weakens and shifts westward, allowing thunderstorms to develop. But above-average temperatures are expected to persist across much of the South into the following week.\n\n\nWorld Cup impact\n\n\n\nThree outdoor matches during the Round of 32 will be impacted by heat.\n\n\nCroatia and Portugal will face off Thursday evening at 7 p.m. ET in Toronto where hot and muggy conditions will make it feel like the upper 80s. Scattered thunderstorms are also possible.\n\n\nFriday’s World Cup match at 6 p.m. ET in Miami could be the venue’s hottest one yet. Argentina and Cape Verde will kickoff with a temperature near 90 degrees and a heat index in the low 100s.\n\n\nA match in Kansas City on Friday at 8:30 p.m. CT between Colombia and Ghana will avoid the hottest time of the day, but a heat index in the middle 90s is still expected at game time.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

That is in line with Texas Education Agency data that showed enrollment declined in county school districts and charter schools by about 10,000 in that period. The enrollment numbers don’t include private schools or children educated at home.\n\n\n\nSchool enrollment has a lot of moving parts because of changes in birth rates and children moving in and out of a given county. The census estimates don’t include estimates for changes due to birth or migration, but other demographic data suggests that while much of the change is due to the decrease in births, some is because more children are leaving El Paso than moving here. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe number of children born to parents living in El Paso between 2007 and 2019 – which would roughly coincide with the age 5 to 18 population census estimate for 2025 – declined by more than 9,600 from the period between 2002 and 2014, which would correspond with the school-age population in 2020.\n\n\n\nThe number of El Paso County children ages 5-18 in the 2025 population estimate was 2,600 fewer than the corresponding 0-13 age cohort in the 2020 census, the El Paso Matters analysis showed. A small number of that decrease would be attributed to childhood mortality, but most of it would be caused by more children moving out of El Paso than moving in between 2020 and 2025.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. Census Bureau on Thursday released new county population estimates that included information on age, sex, race and Hispanic origin. About 83% of the county’s population in 2025 was Hispanic, unchanged from the 2020 census.\n\n\n\nThe Census Bureau had earlier released total population estimates for counties and cities, which showed declines in El Paso’s population between 2024 and 2025. \n\n\n\nEl Paso’s population is aging\n\n\n\nThe decline in the number of school-age children is an important factor in the overall aging of El Paso’s population. The median age in the county – meaning half the population was younger and half older – rose by 1.1 years between 2020 and 2025. That’s slightly higher than the national change of 0.9 years in the same period.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe median age for men in El Paso County grew by 1.6 years over the five-year period, compared with 1 year for women. \n\n\n\nAs is typically the case in populations, the number of males in El Paso County exceeds the number of females until the mid-30s, then becomes increasingly female as the population ages.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor a variety of biological factors, about 105 boys are born for every 100 girls. But women live, on average, about five to six years longer than men.\n\n\n\nIn El Paso County, men reach their highest percentage of the overall population between ages 20 and 29, making up 53% of that age group. That’s driven by the impact of the 29,000 soldiers at Fort Bliss, about 85% of whom are men. \n\n\n\nAmong El Paso County residents ages 65 and older, 57% are women.\nThe post El Paso County lost nearly 12,000 school-age children since 2020, census estimates show appeared first on El Paso Matters.","url":"https://elpasomatters.org/2026/06/25/el-paso-school-enrollment-decline-census-school-age-population/","source":"El Paso Matters","author":"Robert Moore","publishDate":"2026-06-25T13:00:00.000Z","category":"schools","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi0.wp.com%2Felpasomatters.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F04%2FLT-HANKS-MIDDLE-SCHOOL-11-scaled-e1775852619873.jpg%3Ffit%3D1024%252C689%26ssl%3D1","slug":"el-paso-county-lost-nearly-12000-school-age-children-since-2020-census-estimates-show"},{"id":"4xyoe5","title":"3 hospitalized, 2 with life-threatening injuries after crash on I-10 East past Clint","excerpt":"EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- All eastbound lanes on I-10 near Clint (Mile 43) closed after a crash, the Texas Department of Transportation said Monday.

Then it reached Kaunga Nyirenda’s doorstep.\n\n\nIn early June, two men gave the Malawian gardener, who lives in a Johannesburg suburb, a chilling ultimatum: leave now or face death.\n\n\n“They asked me: ‘When are you going to leave the country? We want to fix our country. If you don’t leave now, you’re going to leave in a coffin because we don’t need anyone after 30th of June,’” he said of the ultimatum.\n\n\nNyirenda’s experience reflects a broader surge in anti-immigrant sentiment. In recent weeks, protest groups and self-styled vigilantes, who insist their rallies are peaceful, have staged demonstrations that have appeared to spark violent attacks on both documented and undocumented foreign nationals who are being blamed for taking jobs from South Africans, committing crimes and straining public services.\n\n\nThe South African government has rejected the so-called “deadline” made by the groups for foreigners to leave the country, as fears grow of a violent climax at the end of the month.\n\n\nOne of the groups, March & March, called for mass protests on Tuesday if its demands, including the “immediate and massive deportation of all illegal foreigners currently in the country,” are not met.\n\n\nAhead of the planned demonstrations, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa warned that the government “will not tolerate any attempts to destabilize the country by anyone, whether marching or otherwise.”\n\n\nHe has repeatedly condemned attacks on foreign nationals, saying they “do not represent the views of South Africa’s people, nor reflect our government’s policy.” He blamed the violence on “opportunists who are exploiting the legitimate grievances, particularly those of the poor, under the false guise of ‘community activism.’” Ramaphosa said security forces were on high alert to respond to any unrest.\n\n\nMigrants fear for their safety\n\n\n\nAs tensions escalate, police in South Africa have opened investigations into the recent murders of several foreign nationals.\n\n\nPolice said two Mozambican men were killed during violence in late May in Mossel Bay, a coastal town in the Western Cape, where more than 50 shacks in an informal settlement were burned. Mozambique later said five of its citizens had died in what it described as “xenophobic attacks.”\n\n\nAuthorities are also investigating the death of a Malawian man after he was allegedly killed by a mob at an informal settlement in the city of Pietermaritzburg, near Durban. The attack forced hundreds of migrants to seek shelter in churches and mosques, according to state broadcaster SABC.\n\n\nWith the end of the month fast approaching, the migrant exodus has continued as fear of further mob attacks spreads through poor neighborhoods and informal settlements.\n\n\nIt is unclear what the anti-migrant groups will do once their deadline has passed. But one video posted to social media that appears to show a young man wielding a machete and counting down to the deadline has put migrants like Nyirenda on edge.\n\n\nWhat’s behind the deadline?\n\n\n\nThe current unrest has grown out of campaigns against undocumented migrants led by groups including the March & March movement and Operation Dudula, whose name in Zulu roughly translates as “push back” or “force out.”\n\n\nOperation Dudula has targeted foreign-owned businesses, stopped people in the streets to check identification documents and sought to block foreign nationals from accessing public hospitals.\n\n\nAnother leading figure is Nkosikhona Ndabandaba, known as “Phakel’umthakathi.” With more than 1.7 million Facebook followers, he has mobilized demonstrations featuring men dressed in traditional Zulu warrior regalia and told CNN he was the architect of the June 30 deadline.\n\n\nIn one video, he tells a Congolese man to leave South Africa without asking whether he is in the country legally.\n\n\n“June 30 is the deadline, but you don’t have to wait until then – leave now,” he says, adding that after Tuesday, “I can’t control the people of South Africa.”\n\n\nNdabandaba later told CNN his campaign targets undocumented migrants of all nationalities and denied his supporters had engaged in violence, blaming unrest on other groups.\n\n\nSouth Africa’s Border Management Authority says more than 13,000 foreign nationals – including about 9,000 Malawians, 3,000 Zimbabweans, 900 Ghanaians, and 300 Nigerians – have either been voluntarily repatriated or deported in the last fortnight.\n\n\nRamaphosa acknowledged “the challenge of illegal immigration,” saying his government was addressing it. He said undocumented migration places pressure on public services and “distorts the labor market” by enabling some employers to exploit cheaper labor. Even so, he warned against making migrants scapegoats for South Africa’s economic hardships.\n\n\nMore than three decades after the end of apartheid – a racist system that confined Black South Africans to low-paid, controlled labor while reserving most of the country’s land, quality education and high-paying jobs for the White minority – South Africa continues to grapple with high unemployment, one of the world’s highest murder rates, and deep racial inequality.\n\n\nA familiar cycle of violence\n\n\n\nAttacks on foreign nationals are not new to South Africa, which has experienced repeated waves of xenophobic violence. More than 3 million immigrants – about 5% of the population – live in the country, most having arrived from neighboring Southern African countries in search of work, according to the national statistics agency.\n\n\nSouth Africa’s unemployment rate stood at 32% in the first quarter of 2026 after 350,000 jobs were lost, with young people hardest hit, the agency’s data shows.\n\n\nYet despite those struggles, South Africa, one of Africa’s leading industrial economies, remains a destination for migrants willing to take low-paying jobs in domestic work, security and agriculture.\n\n\nAndré Duvenhage, research director at South Africa’s North-West University, said migrants are often hired because employers see them as willing to work for lower wages and, as non-citizens, they are typically not protected by as many labor protections. Employers also perceive them as having “higher work ethics than some of our ordinary citizens,” he said.\n\n\nAnti-immigrant resentment has long focused on migrants from Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Malawi, with similar hostility directed at Ghanaians and Nigerians.\n\n\nTonye Irims, who runs solar energy companies in Nigeria and South Africa, told CNN the hostility is broadly directed at “any suspected Black African migrant living and doing business in proximity to (low-income) South African Black communities.”\n\n\nHe described the violence as “heavily racialized and classed,” noting that wealthier foreigners and White residents are rarely targeted.\n\n\nThe latest tensions have revived memories of the xenophobic violence of 2008, which killed at least 62 people and displaced thousands. Deadly attacks flared again in 2015 and 2019.\n\n\nWhat’s driving anti-migrant sentiment?\n\n\n\nIrims said South Africa’s economy remains largely controlled by a wealthy White Afrikaner minority, leaving many Black South Africans with limited economic opportunities. Unable to challenge what he described as “the high-level political and corporate structures responsible for their poverty,” he said, many instead direct their frustrations at “defenseless Black immigrants.”\n\n\nWhile apartheid-era inequality remains central to political debate, he said anger toward the White minority is largely expressed through legal and political channels, while Black African migrants bear the brunt of street-level violence.\n\n\nHe called it a paradox: migrants face the greatest risk of xenophobic attacks yet receive little international protection, while “the group (White South Africans) that retains significant economic privilege and is protected by elite private security and fortified suburban infrastructure is granted expedited political asylum abroad.”\n\n\nHe was referring to the United States’ decision to resettle Afrikaners after US President Donald Trump claimed that “a genocide is taking place” in South Africa and that “White farmers are being brutally killed and their land confiscated.”\n\n\nFor Malawian gardener Nyirenda, the protests are “hypocritical” because, he said, they selectively target Black African migrants.\n\n\nDespite having made South Africa his home over the past 16 years, the 38-year-old told CNN he has decided to return to Malawi.\n\n\n“They (the protesters) only have energy for fellow poor Black Africans,” he said.\n\n\n“Why fight someone who is hungry like you while leaving the ones who have taken all your wealth?”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Bush during September 11, 2001, and is most known for authoring the “torture memos” used for detainees after the attacks. He is also a national security specialist with experience on the law around presidential power and a proponent of expanding authority for the executive branch.\n\n\nYoo is set to advise Joe DiGenova and Victoria Toensing, two longtime conservative attorneys who are acting as prosecutors in the Southern District of Florida and are looking at possible cases against Trump foes. Though he hasn’t started yet, Yoo will act as an intermittent consultant, or special government employee, on constitutional issues.\n\n\nThe addition of Yoo to the Miami-based investigation is likely to raise new questions about where DiGenova’s work, in particular, may aim — with some sources describing it as a grand conspiracy stretching from the investigation into Russian election interference in 2016 to the FBI search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in 2022.\n\n\n“I have known Joe DiGenova and Vicky Toensing for more than three decades, so if they and the United States need my assistance, I’m happy to provide it anytime, anywhere, for anything,” Yoo told CNN on Sunday night.\n\n\nThe new role for Yoo will put him in a similar position as appellate lawyers who served on special counsel investigations at the Justice Department over the past decade.\n\n\nThose included the Robert Mueller investigation, which ultimately determined Trump in his first term couldn’t be charged with obstruction of justice as he sought to shut down the investigation into his 2016 campaign, though it unearthed allegations that were seized upon by the president’s political foes. It also included the office led by Jack Smith — another former special counsel to the Justice Department — who tried and failed to prosecute Trump for allegedly mishandling classified records after his first term.\n\n\nThe Smith investigation ultimately took the question of criminal immunity for a president to the Supreme Court, in a separate now-dismissed case against Trump for allegedly conspiring to overturn his 2020 election loss. The high court’s opinion ultimately expanded presidential power.\n\n\nThis probe would likely flip questions that plagued Trump around, now looking at the government officials who contributed to the prior investigations into him, such as former CIA Director John Brennan. Brennan hasn’t been charged with any crime but has been under investigation.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

E hizo historia, también. La primera Copa del Mundo con 48 equipos había generado muchas dudas antes del comienzo del torneo, pero, a estas alturas, con 73 partidos (72 de la primera fase y el de 16avos de Canadá vs. Sudáfrica) ya tachados en el calendario, podemos sentenciar una cosa: no ha defraudado.\n\n\nEs, ante todo, un muy buen Mundial para América.\n\n\nEn primer lugar, las tres selecciones anfitrionas pasaron de ronda. México resultó casi una revelación, ganando por primera vez en su historia los tres partidos de la fase de grupos y sin recibir un solo gol rival. El Tri llegó en medio de muchas dudas de los aficionados, pero la entrega y los buenos pasajes de juego acabaron por enamorar a muchos escépticos. Ganó hasta jugando con medio equipo de suplentes.\n\n\nEstados Unidos, al igual que México, solo necesitó dos partidos para ganar un grupo que, según analistas, era uno de los más parejos. Resultó, en cuanto a la forma de juego, la gran revelación del Mundial, con un fútbol dinámico, voraz y muy ofensivo. La derrota de sus suplentes ante Turquía fue una mancha en el proceso, pero los estadounidenses elevaron mucho sus expectativas.\n\n\nCanadá fue logrando dar pasos al frente. En el primer partido consiguió su primer punto en la historia del Mundial, en el segundo la primera victoria (y con goleada para los libros) y en el tercero la clasificación a los mano a mano. Allí tuvo su estreno este domingo, y ganó. Ya está entre los mejores 16 equipos del torneo.\n\n\nSudamérica confirmó, una vez más, su poderío en el escenario mundial. De las seis selecciones clasificadas, solo una se quedó afuera. Tres ganaron sus grupos y las otras dos se clasificaron con actuaciones heroicas.\n\n\nArgentina es, sin dudas, candidato a repetir la corona. Fundamentalmente porque tiene a un Lionel Messi que hasta parece en mejor forma que en 2022. Esta vez no hubo sorpresas y ganó con holgura sus tres partidos, llevando en el proceso al astro rosarino a lo más alto de la tabla de goleadores en la historia del Mundial.\n\n\nBrasil fue de menos a más. El exigente debut ante Marruecos generó dudas, pero el empate permitió trabajar con tranquilidad. Allí apareció la famosa mano de Ancelotti para ajustar detalles en la formación titular, elemento fundamental de las goleadas a Haití y Escocia. Cambió a su centrodelantero y liberó aún más a Vinícius. Brasil crece, y los demás se preocupan.\n\n\nColombia cerró la fase de grupos entregando una de las mejores actuaciones de toda la Copa del Mundo. Después de dos victorias muy trabajadas ante Uzbekistán y RD Congo, se midió ante Portugal, una candidata al título. Los cafeteros no solo estuvieron a la altura, sino que claramente merecieron el triunfo. Maniataron a los europeos en el mediocampo, controlaron a Cristiano Ronaldo y dispusieron de un puñado de opciones de gol muy claras. Rompieron el pronóstico de muchos y ganaron el grupo.\n\n\nParaguay y Ecuador comenzaron el Mundial como para irse rápido. Los guaraníes con una goleada insospechada a manos de Estados Unidos y la Tri con una derrota ante Costa de Marfil y un empate para la historia contra Curazao. Entonces, sacaron de la galera dos actuaciones magistrales. Los de Alfaro le ganaron a Turquía jugando todo el segundo tiempo con un jugador menos y los de Beccacece le ganaron a Alemania. Clasificaron como terceros, pero con aspiraciones más serias de lo que parece.\n\n\nPárrafo aparte para la gran decepción del Mundial: Uruguay. El primer campeón del mundo, que desde aquella escandalosa semifinal de Copa América fue cuesta abajo, sumando problemas dentro del campo de juego y el vestuario, no les pudo ganar a Arabia Saudita ni a Cabo Verde. Ante España jugó un gran partido, pero se quedó sin nada por un error (otro más) de su arquero. Es el segundo fracaso de Marcelo Bielsa como DT en un Mundial. Llevar jugadores lesionados y repetir a un portero que nunca le dio garantías lo condenó, aunque está claro que esto está lejos de igualar aquella eliminación de Argentina en 2002.\n\n\nEl Mundial de Haití y Panamá no puede ser considerado fracaso. Los haitianos merecieron mejor suerte ante Escocia (un escandaloso penal no cobrado los privó de un empate) y le hicieron la vida imposible a Marruecos, yendo al frente 1-0 y 2-1. En medio de un contexto social y económico muy delicado, y con un entrenador que nunca pisó la isla, fue una actuación decente, en un grupo de por sí muy complicado.\n\n\nLo mismo les pasó a los panameños. Estar en el grupo de Inglaterra, Croacia y Ghana no es precisamente buena suerte. Aun así, merecieron más ante Ghana y no sufrieron demasiado ante Croacia. Incluso Inglaterra tuvo que transpirar mucho más de lo pensado para ponerse arriba en el marcador. Se fue sin goles a favor, no por falta de intento, sino de acierto, y apenas recibió cuatro.\n\n\nPuede sonar a locura, pero los debutantes no han venido de paseo a Norteamérica. Es cierto que ninguna ganó un partido, pero una de ellas no lo necesitó para eliminar a un bicampeón y las otras tres, a su modo, se fueron con buenas experiencias.\n\n\nCurazao, la nación más pequeña en participar en toda la historia del Mundial le plantó cara durante un buen rato a Alemania en su debut absoluto, e incluso le anotó su primer gol (1-1 parcial). Luego dio la sorpresa al empatarle a Ecuador e hizo transpirar más de la cuenta a Costa de Marfil.\n\n\nJordania fue la que, por momentos, mejor jugó entre las debutantes. Comenzó llevando al límite a Austria, que le ganó por un gol en contra, y también puso contra las cuerdas a Argelia, ganadora gracias a dos jugadas a balón detenido. En su última presentación le sacó el invicto a Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez y, a pesar de otra derrota, se fue con la frente en alto, marcando goles en sus tres juegos.\n\n\nUzbekistán fue, de lejos, la más floja de entre las debutantes. Aun así, le dio algo de suspenso al duelo ante Colombia y, tras una goleada apabullante ante Portugal, estuvo cerca de dejar eliminada a RD Congo. Pagó caro el cambio de entrenador antes del torneo y cierta displicencia a la hora de defender, pero es una gran experiencia que se lleva a futuro con un plantel muy joven.\n\n\nCabo Verde es, sin dudas, la historia del Mundial. Con un arquero de 40 años (nueva sensación de las redes sociales) multitud de jugadores descendientes de caboverdianos y hasta un irlandés reclutado por LinkedIn, esta pequeña nación africana le sacó un empate a la poderosa España, le igualó el juego a una autodestructiva Uruguay y resistió ante Arabia Saudita. Fueron tres empates, que le bastaron para pasar como segunda. ¿Su premio? Enfrentar a Argentina.\n\n\nLas selecciones africanas cumplieron un gran papel en la fase de grupos. Prueba de ello es que nueve de las diez selecciones llegaron a 16avos de final, y con algunas actuaciones muy destacadas en el camino, como el empate de Cabo Verde ante España, el de la RD Congo ante Portugal o el de Ghana ante Inglaterra.\n\n\nLa excepción a la regla fue Túnez, pero, a decir verdad, es una selección que hizo todo mal. Solo basta con decir que cambió a su entrenador poco antes del Mundial y que lo echó tras una goleada en contra en el primer partido.\n\n\nA contramano de África estuvo Asia, continente de donde salieron siete de los 16 eliminados en la fase de grupos. Qatar, Arabia Saudita, Iraq, Jordania y Uzbekistán terminaron últimos, y Corea del Sur e Irán fueron terceros sin suerte. Solo Australia (es de Oceanía, pero compite por Asia) y Japón pasaron de ronda. De los 27 partidos que jugaron las selecciones de la confederación, apenas ganaron tres.\n\n\nSi hay una selección que mete miedo, esa es Francia. Hizo muy fácil un grupo difícil donde estaban Noruega, Senegal y, la “Cenicienta”, Iraq. Nueve puntos de nueve posibles y 10 goles a favor, siendo la más goleadora del certamen junto a Países Bajos y Alemania. En los primeros partidos se destacó la figura de Olise en la conducción y de Mbappé en la definición, y en el último apareció en todo su esplendor el Balón de Oro, Ousmane Dembélé.\n\n\nNadie parece ser más que Francia hasta ahora, aunque los duelos directos suelen emparejar muchas cosas que, en el análisis, son totalmente desparejas.\n\n\nAllí le espera un exigente calendario. Suecia será su primer rival y, de pasar, podría aparecer Alemania. Y más tarde, Países Bajos o Marruecos. Y luego ya España o Portugal. De no haber sorpresas (que el fútbol gracias a Dios siempre las tiene) los galos tendrán una tarea titánica si quieren llegar a la final por tercera vez consecutiva, algo que no logra nadie desde Brasil en 1994, 1998 y 2002.

Both networks broke viewership records during the World Cup group stage and expect even higher ratings in the coming days, with the US men’s national soccer team playing in prime time on Wednesday night.\n\n\nTelemundo reported that its World Cup viewership is “pacing at more than double” the 2022 tournament in Qatar, with audience engagement “at historic highs.”\n\n\nFox Sports said 84 million Americans have watched at least some of its coverage through June 25.\n\n\nThat assessment comes from Nielsen’s TV and streaming measurement system, which calculates how many people have watched for at least one minute.\n\n\nFox’s president for insights and analytics, Michael Mulvihill, shared a stat that captures the level of commitment some fans are showing: “According to Nielsen,” he posted to X, 9,722 people have watched at least a minute of “ALL 48 of the first 48 World Cup matches on FOX and FS1.”\n\n\nThere are a few reasons why World Cup matches are generating NFL-level viewer interest in the US this summer. The most obvious factor being that the games are being played in the US, Canada and Mexico, which raises Americans’ overall awareness and puts matches in far more favorable TV windows.\n\n\nMore people are home from work and available to watch at 8 p.m. Eastern than, say, at 8 a.m., when many of the Qatar 2022 games were televised by Fox Sports.\n\n\nMore generally, soccer continues to grow in popularity in the US, and sporting events continue to compel people to watch live rather than on demand.\n\n\nNielsen is also measuring out-of-home audiences much more extensively than it did in the past, lifting the ratings for many sports.\n\n\nTelevision executives say those viewers have always been watching at bars, restaurants and other locations, so now the ratings are a more accurate reflection of the real audience size.\n\n\nPresident Donald Trump seemed to tout the TV ratings in a Truth Social post on Sunday.\n\n\n“The FIFA Numbers are far greater than any World Cup in History,” he wrote. “This is a Great Tribute to the United States of America. Thank you to all!”\n\n\nThere is no standardized way to calculate the worldwide audience for a tournament that airs on different channels and platforms across multiple countries.\n\n\nBut in the US, the numbers are certainly “great,” as Trump wrote. The June 19 match between the US and Australia averaged 16.2 million viewers for Fox, helping the day rank as the “most-watched FIFA men’s World Cup day in English-language US history,” Fox said.\n\n\nThe June 25 match between the US and Turkey averaged 15.8 million viewers for Fox, even though the US had already secured its place in the knockout round.\n\n\n“For Fox,” NBC’s Mike Florio recently wrote, “the $485 million paid for the English-language World Cup broadcast rights in America may be the best investment the network has ever made.”\n\n\nAccording to The New York Times, “the rights are worth as much as three times that amount,” but Fox won a bargain price for the 2026 rights as a result of a decade-old “decision to stave off litigation between Fox and FIFA.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Plummeting ticket sales, artist withdrawals, political controversies and a diminished staff have made restarting a full-scale programming schedule a challenge, multiple sources familiar with the operation previously told CNN.\n\n\nMaher noted the potential closure during remarks on the red carpet before the event, saying, “This is the last show here for at least two years.”\n\n\n“It is a beautiful building. They keep talking about how they need to renovate. It looks perfectly fine to me. I don’t see one thing that needs a single thing changed,” he said.\n\n\nThe performing arts center has been at the center of Trump’s remaking of Washington, DC — and the limits he faces in enacting his wishes. Two weeks ago, the Kennedy Center complied with a judge’s order in removing Trump’s name from the building, which was added by the president’s handpicked board of trustees.\n\n\nThe administration has told the court the name is gone — but a tarp still covers the spot where it hung, leaving the removal hidden from public view.\n\n\n“Finally, an award from my dear friend, ironically at the Trump Kennedy Center. No — oh right, we fixed that,” actor Woody Harrelson quipped onstage during the Sunday event.\n\n\nMaher has been a target of the president’s ire, but also dined with Trump at the White House in 2025. The comedian praised the president after the dinner, though their relationship has remained tense. In February, Trump called Maher a “jerk,” dismissed their 2025 White House dinner as “a total waste of time,” and said the comedian suffers from “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”\n\n\n“I’d rather be fighting and yelling — that’s his way of talking,” Maher told CNN on the red carpet ahead of the event. “I’d rather the channels be open; anything is better than the channels being shut off.”\n\n\nThe White House in March initially denied that the comedian would be awarded the honor, which is an annual lifetime achievement award given by the Kennedy Center.\n\n\n“Believe me, when they asked me and called and said, ‘Would you accept this?’ I did not have to ask twice. Of course, after the president tried to get the show canceled, they actually did have to ask twice,” Maher joked during his speech.\n\n\nAs Maher was accepting his award, he was “interrupted” by the president — or rather, comedian Matt Friend’s portrayal of him.\n\n\n“Why are we giving this low-ratings, lightweight jerk the Mark Twain Award?” Friend joked, repeating insults the president has used against Maher.\n\n\nThe “Real Time with Bill Maher” host joins a list of past honorees that includes Richard Pryor, Carol Burnett, Dave Chappelle, Jon Stewart and Conan O’Brien. (Maher’s HBO show is also presented on CNN on Saturdays. HBO and CNN are both part of Warner Bros. Discovery.)\n\n\nThe 27th annual ceremony, which will premiere on Netflix on July 21, featured guests including Louis C.K., Whitney Cummings, Jay Leno and John Mellencamp, many of whom made jokes revolving around Trump.\n\n\n“President Trump not happy about Bill getting this award. You think he’s mad now? Really, finds out next year the recipient is Bad Bunny,” Leno joked, referring to the Puerto Rican rapper, whom Trump has criticized.\n\n\nGuests on the red carpet, meanwhile, emphasized the importance of comedy in the divided political environment.\n\n\n“Just because we are on opposite sides of the aisle, doesn’t mean we don’t relate to the opposite side from time to time,” radio host Stephen A. Smith told CNN.\n\n\n“When either side gets mad at me because I put them in jokes —jokes that work — my lesson to that is simple: You want to not get mocked, stop being funny,” Maher said in his speech.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Mientras tanto, los museos han organziado eventos temáticos de “La Odisea”, mientras que los clubes de lectura dirigidos por académicos y enfocados en el clásico relato griego han alcanzado su capacidad máxima.\n\n\nEs más o menos como un Barbenheimer para el Departamento de Estudios Clásicos.\n\n\n“Sabía que iba a ser grande si Christopher Nolan la dirigía, y cada vez que podemos lograr que la gente hable de las cosas que estamos estudiando en clase, para mí como educadora es emocionante”, comentó Jennie Luongo, profesora de latín en la St. Andrew’s Episcopal School en Austin, Texas, quien también se desempeña como presidenta de la American Classical League.\n\n\nCon base en el antiguo poema épico de Homero, la película tiene como protagonista a Matt Damon en el papel de Odiseo, el rey de Ítaca cuyo viaje de 10 años de regreso a casa tras luchar en la Guerra de Troya está marcado por numerosos encuentros con seres míticos.\n\n\nDado el historial de Nolan de crear películas taquilleras que dominan la cultura, entre ellas “Oppenheimer” (2023), “Inception” (2010) y su trilogía de “Batman”, analistas de Hollywood han pronosticado enormes ingresos de taquilla para “La Odisea”, y algunos especulan que probablemente supere los US$ 1.000 millones en ventas a nivel mundial.\n\n\nLos docentes de estudios clásicos, cuyo trabajo suele centrarse en la historia y la cultura de la cuenca del Mediterráneo antiguo, esperan que muchos espectadores que vean la película se sientan luego inspirados a tomar un ejemplar del poema original o quizá incluso a inscribirse en un curso. “Claramente, tendrá un impacto enorme y una audiencia enorme”, dijo Nina Papathanasopoulou, profesora de estudios clásicos en College Year en Atenas y coordinadora de participación pública de la Society for Classical Studies. “Parece que podría ser una muy buena manera de reavivar el interés por el mundo antiguo”.\n\n\n¿Otra señal de que la película ya genera un enorme revuelo, al menos en los medios? Además de los debates en línea sobre el elenco, el vestuario y los acentos que se dejan entrever en los tráiler de la película, Emily Wilson, la clasicista cuya traducción de 2017 de La Odisea Nolan ha dicho que leyó, experimenta un aumento de atención. “Con el estreno de la película, estoy inundada de consultas de periodistas”, dijo Wilson a CNN.\n\n\nTodo este alboroto no carece de precedentes. Después de que “Gladiator” de Ridley Scott se estrenara en 2000, The New York Times señaló un aumento de libros publicados sobre el mundo antiguo, un fenómeno al que llamó “el ‘efecto Gladiator’”. El éxito monumental de esa película, que recaudó más de US$ 460 millones y ganó cinco premios Oscar, incluido el de Mejor Película, también impulsó una ola de filmes similares como “Alexander” (2004), “Troy” (2004) y “300” (2006), así como series de televisión como “Rome” de HBO (2005-2007). Los académicos también informaron que el fenómeno incrementó la matrícula estudiantil en los estudios clásicos.\n\n\nAhora, se trabaja en todo el mundo para garantizar que la película más reciente de Nolan tenga el mismo impacto. En Los Ángeles, por ejemplo, el personal del Museo Getty planificó un día entero de eventos a finales de mayo inspirado en la película e incluyó conferencias, debates y una selección de presentaciones de una adaptación en ópera folclórica de la Odisea.\n\n\nEn Australia, un destacado minorista de libros ha organizado un mes de conferencias presenciales y en línea con temática en torno al texto, que está previsto que culmine con una proyección de la película de Nolan en un cine de Melbourne. Y en el Reino Unido, las filiales regionales de la Classical Association se han enfocado en Homero en sus clubes de lectura, y también se consideran planes para una proyección de la película para los miembros. “La película ya ha atraído a nuevas audiencias a nuestro trabajo benéfico y a nuestros eventos, y estamos entusiasmados por una mayor participación”, dijo Katrina Kelly, directora de participación de la asociación. “¡Tenemos muchas ganas de ver pronto la versión de Nolan!”\n\n\nEntre enero y mayo, el personal de Artes y Humanidades de la Universidad de California en Berkeley también utilizó el próximo estreno de la película de Nolan para promocionar un “club de lectura épico para el relato más épico del mundo” que contó con siete reuniones en línea. Los organizadores esperaban algo pequeño y acogedor, pero se asombraron cuando más de 1.300 personas de todo el mundo se inscribieron para participar.\n\n\nEn febrero, la Universidad de California en Berkeley recurrió a Kim Shelton, una de sus profesoras de estudios griegos y romanos antiguos, para que aportara nueve minutos de comentarios sobre el vestuario y los escenarios de la película cuando se lanzó el tráiler de la película de Nolan. Y en abril, más de 55 estudiantes y miembros del personal realizaron un “Homeratón” en el campus para leer la totalidad de la Odisea durante un periodo de 12 horas. “Espero que haya un aumento del interés”, aseguró Shelton.“Imparto mi clase sobre la guerra de Troya este otoño por esa misma razón”.\n\n\nMás al norte, los amantes de la literatura antigua también se preparan para que el interés aumente. Robert Weir, presidente de la Classical Association of Canada, recordó que después del estreno de “Gladiator” el número de estudiantes que tomaban cursos introductorios de civilización griega y romana en la Universidad de Windsor, donde es profesor asociado, aproximadamente se duplicó hasta 250-300, frente a apenas unos años antes. Con la nueva película de Nolan a punto de estrenarse, “bien podría haber un incremento”, dijo Weir.\n\n\nPero no todo el mundo está tan convencido. Max Nelson, colega de Weir en el programa de Estudios Griegos y Romanos de la universidad, dijo que, si bien no había “ninguna duda” de que “Gladiator” había renovado el interés por los clásicos entre los estudiantes, la secuela de 2024 de Scott no generó ningún resurgimiento de interés que él pudiera percibir. Aun así, señaló que la “Odisea” ya había sido objeto de mucho debate en línea, lo que indica una fuerte pasión entre los devotos de la cultura antigua. “Mi predicción es que la película no traerá un gran número de nuevos estudiantes a nuestros cursos, pero planteará muchas preguntas entre los curiosos”, dijo Nelson. Planea incluir la película de Nolan en próximas ediciones de su curso, El mundo antiguo en la pantalla. “Será un punto de referencia útil para las discusiones en clase sobre diversos temas relacionados con la interpretación y la recepción de la poesía épica antigua”, afirmó Nelson.\n\n\nPapathanasopoulou, de la Society for Classical Studies, dijo que su organización planea invitar al público a una mesa redonda de expertos para debatir la película cuando se reúnan para su próxima conferencia anual en Boston en enero.\n\n\nPapathanasopoulou dijo que muchos de sus antiguos estudiantes han atribuido a obras populares inspiradas en los clásicos —los libros y las películas de Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief, así como la franquicia de videojuegos Hades, por ejemplo— el haberles abierto la mente a un campo que al principio puede parecer elitista.\n\n\nElla ve la película de la “Odisea” como una oportunidad similar. “Creo que muchos de nosotros nos hemos dado cuenta de que, si queremos mantener vivo nuestro campo, tenemos que involucrarnos de verdad con las voces contemporáneas, involucrarnos de verdad con los artistas”, afirmó Papathanasopoulou.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Police later issued an arrest warrant and arrested Carman at the airport as he prepared to board a flight back to Australia.\n\n\nIn an investigation room at the police station, Carman issued a message to the victim’s family before being transferred to the Pattaya Provincial Court.\n\n\n“I feel bad for what happened to your daughter. It was out of my control,” he said.\n\n\nThe victim’s father, Thongchai Donhomla, 46, said he was struggling to come to terms with the loss.\n\n\n“I am deeply saddened. My daughter had no mother, so whenever she wanted anything, she would find a way herself, and she always helped me too,” he said.\n\n\nHer stepmother, Oradee Bussarakum, said she wanted the suspect to face the harshest punishment.\n\n\n“I told the police I want him executed.

The injected oxygen is supposed to oxidize — or, unscientifically speaking, smash through — algae, bacteria and other chemicals.\n\n\nThe Trump administration has touted the technology as “state of the art.” At the onset of the project, the administration dispatched a small company based in Brookfield, Ohio — one of the only in the country with this type of technology — to lead the high-profile, high-stakes gambit to see whether the technology could work on the 6.5 million-gallon landmark that for decades has evaded cleanliness. Only five years old, the technology has never been formally used or researched on a pool.\n\n\nAs questions mount over President Donald Trump’s broader renovation project — which has been overcome by other problems, including a peeling bottom and allegations of vandalism — Greenwater Services, the company in charge of the pool’s water quality, has been thrust into the national spotlight. The company has recently taken on a crisis communications firm to help manage the unfamiliar political waters while it attempts to focus on the pool’s actual water.\n\n\nChas Antinone, president and chief operating officer, had a one-word answer for CNN when asked whether the company’s part of the project had gone according to plan: “Yes.”\n\n\n“I’ve got no political affiliation in this thing whatsoever either way. And I don’t really care about that part,” Antinone said. “Our job was to come here and bring a technology that we think can keep the Reflecting Pool looking clean and reflect the way it is supposed to.”\n\n\nA review of campaign finance reports, both federal and in Ohio, showed no contributions made by Antinone.\n\n\nBut the company and its no-bid contract have been dragged into a political morass as algae returned for a time to the pool, Trump campaign donations by the owner have come to light, and the pool has become a symbol of America’s divide and what some see as the president’s failures.\n\n\nAnd questions remain about whether the new technology will work long term, with no timeline set by the Department of Interior for the more extensive repairs to decades-old pipes that are necessary to keep the technology running.\n\n\nJoe Trusty, who is the editor of Pool Magazine and has a background in pool service and construction, said the nanobubbler has been “a tremendous buzzword around our industry.”\n\n\n“It’s not surprising to me that they were brought into the conversation, nor is it surprising to me that they implemented it,” he said. “Whether or not it is going to be able to be effective in as large a body of water and as shallow a body of water such as the Reflecting Pool remains to be seen.”\n\n\nA rapid timeline\n\n\n\nGreenwater Services walked CNN through a detailed timeline of its work with the Trump administration. That accounting revealed that some accommodations were needed to meet the president’s demands to have the pool refurbished by the July Fourth celebrations marking America’s 250th birthday.\n\n\nFrom the get-go, the company had to be nimble.\n\n\nThe permanent ozone nannobubbler unit had not yet been fully fabricated in Ohio for the job, and yet the pool was being refilled with water. So, the company brought in temporary equipment to get the system running before the permanent structure was finished.\n\n\nFour stand-alone mobile machines, which could be seen with the naked eye, were put in the Reflecting Pool on June 6, two days after the pool was refilled with water. The units, which work differently from the permanent ones, made small white plumes of bubbles as nozzles shot nanobubbles into the water. The company said the four machines were operating at the same amount of power that the permanent system would have had.\n\n\nAt that point the water was clear; everything was working well, a spokesperson said.\n\n\nHowever, on June 12, a source close to the project said the company was asked by the National Park Service to remove the temporary structures. They were not given a reason. The four units were taken offline and off-site by the company. The algae bloom appeared, according to a person close to the project and video images of the pool captured that afternoon by a CNN camera.\n\n\nGreenwater Services would not comment on the time gap when the temporary systems were removed.  The Interior Department and White House did not respond to CNN’s questions about why the call was made to take the machines out of the water. The New York Times first reported on the removal of the temporary systems.\n\n\nDuring that 24-hour period, the Trump administration hosted a high-profile Ultimate Fighting Championship photo op on the National Mall.\n\n\nThe next day, the company reinstalled the temporary machines.\n\n\nAs the four temporary units continued to run, the permanent unit arrived on June 16 and installation began. On June 25, the temporary units were removed, and the permanent system began operating on its own, according to the company.\n\n\n“What I think everyone learned is that when the system is allowed to run, it cleans the water and keeps it clean,” Erin Kramer, a spokesperson for the company, told CNN.\n\n\nHow the permanent system should work\n\n\n\nThe permanent ozone nanobubbler technology, unlike the temporary units, is not in the Reflecting Pool itself. The technology is instead housed in a small pump house, in the US Park Police stables just off the Reflecting Pool.\n\n\nCNN exclusively obtained photos of last week’s installation of the technology in the pump house with the National Park Service, showing the high-tech system that is typically kept behind closed doors.\n\n\nThe water, which the Interior Department confirmed is pulled from municipal water, comes in and is filtered again. This is when Greenwater Service’s technology steps in.\n\n\nAn oxygen concentrator pulls air in and then sends an electrical current that breaks up that O2 into pure oxygen molecules to form “ozone.” That ozone is then injected into the master water pipe, through a series of patented nozzles with pressure.\n\n\nThat master pipe splits into numerous preexisting smaller pipes that run around the exterior of the Reflecting Pool, providing inputs for water to enter.\n\n\nThe Interior Department has previously noted the need to repair and potentially replace thousands of feet of pipes that have been in disrepair for several years.\n\n\nThe ozone nanobubbler relies on at least some of the pipes being viable.\n\n\nAntinone said a number of the pipes are viable but was unsure how many are up and running. It is his understanding that the National Park Service intends to test to see which ones are working, he said.\n\n\nThe Interior Department has not responded to multiple questions about the status of the pipes and the plan for broader repair.\n\n\nAntinone said the piping system would be one of the first things to look at should the algae return.\n\n\nThe new science\n\n\n\nThe ozone nanobubbler technology is very new, but industry experts say it is promising.\n\n\nHeather Raymond, the water quality director for the Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences, has tested and researched Greenwater Service’s technology for years.\n\n\nOne of the key factors that make it so powerful, Raymond said, is the ability for the ozone in the powerful algae-busting bubbles to stay in the water, reacting with the water, potentially for days.\n\n\nPrevious versions of the technology injected the bubbles into water, where they would then rise to the surface, losing power and effectiveness.\n\n\nRaymond said the new technology carries a powerful “one-two punch” because it creates a microsystem for battling bacteria that is more biologically active.\n\n\n“In addition to directly oxidizing the chemicals, they promote the growth of these bacteria that eat the chemicals.”\n\n\nRaymond said her studies show an effectiveness rate in the 90th percentile for the ozone nanobubbler, recognizing it as both clean and green.\n\n\nRaymond was not involved in the Reflecting Pool project and said her studies have not been funded by Greenwater Services.\n\n\nThe National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has done independent research on the technology. In research published in 2020, the federal agency said the technology effectively remediates harmful algal blooms.\n\n\nGreenwater Services has never used its technology on a pool, only for projects in waterways, such as the Tijuana River, Ohio’s Lake Newport and Florida’s Port Mayaca.\n\n\nRaymond said, ideally, the nanobubbler technology could work best by getting ahead of any algae, when installed during cooler months, not during the summer when the conditions for algae — heat and sunlight — are prime.\n\n\n“If you had all the time in the world, you should launch this fall or winter,” she said.\n\n\nBut the company was under a tight deadline to make the pool clear by July.\n\n\nGreenwater Services attempted to portray the timeline, and the warm, muggy DC weather they were up against as a positive.\n\n\n“If we had put this in here and there’s no algae, we wouldn’t have learned anything,” Antinone said. “The whole goal here is to make the process better, so every time we do something, we should learn a little bit.”\n\n\nGreenwater’s contract under scrutiny\n\n\n\nLike Virginia-based Atlantic Industrial Coatings, the company enlisted to resurface the pool bottom with a blue material, Greenwater Services was allowed to bypass a competitive-bidding process that is typically done for government contracts. Greenwater was awarded a no-bid contract in April.\n\n\nThe company’s co-owner, J.J. Cafaro, is a longtime supporter and donor to Trump and lives near his Mar-a-Lago club in South Florida. Cafaro pleaded guilty in 2001 to conspiracy to bribe Rep. James Traficant Jr., an Ohio Democrat.\n\n\n“The White House was not involved in the selection process for any contract and did not weigh in on the companies selected. Full stop,” an Interior Department spokesperson said in a statement. “These companies were selected because they had the expertise, workforce and materials needed to complete such a huge project in the timeline required to celebrate our nation’s 250th.”\n\n\nThe White House said in a statement that it “did not play any role in the selection process.”\n\n\nGreenwater Services has sought to distance Cafaro from its daily operations.\n\n\n“He is an Ohio-based businessman who invested in the Ohio-based company after the owners showed him research done on local Ohio bodies of water,” a spokesperson said. “He has no involvement in the day-to-day operations.”\n\n\nCNN reached out to Cafaro but did not receive an immediate response.\n\n\nEarlier this month, Cafaro defended his company’s technology to a local Ohio newspaper, the Vindicator, saying that he believes the system is working and that much of the public scrutiny over the Reflecting Pool is from “people who don’t seem to like Trump.”\n\n\nCafaro told the newspaper he would “never” talk to the president about his company’s work with the Reflecting Pool.\n\n\n“You don’t do things to put friends in awkward positions,” he was quoted as saying.\n\n\nWhat happens next?\n\n\n\nEmployees of Greenwater Solutions have been at the pool on a near daily basis since early June. They anticipate remaining through the July Fourth holiday, at least. The company tests the water daily, Antinone said.\n\n\nThe next step is to give time to see how the permanent machine operates on its own.\n\n\nCNN spoke to the company on Friday, just one day after it went online without the support of the temporary units.\n\n\n“I will tell you, the water today continues to look good, and we’ll continue to test it and see how that works,” Antinone said.\n\n\nIf algae and the green-hued water returns, Antinone said the company has the capability to bring in more units to the pump house to amp up the system. Additionally, he suggested there are many other options for mitigation. Some spot treatments — potentially with temporary machines — could also be used, he said.\n\n\n“We think right now, we treated it — it looks good,” he said Friday while adding, “but you know, it’s going to be 100 degrees next week.”\n\n\nThe story headline has been updated.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Así que buscó otro tipo de vida de roadie: viajar por todo el país y escribir sobre los peligros de la nueva tecnología y la inteligencia artificial para medios como The Federalist, hasta que finalmente consiguió un puesto en el pódcast “War Room” del exestratega jefe de la Casa Blanca Steve Bannon.\n\n\nEl escepticismo de Allen habría sido de nicho hace apenas unos años. Pero ahora también recorre el país dando sermones en los que advierte sobre los peligros de la IA, tocando una fibra sensible entre los estadounidenses, cada vez más preocupados por el impacto de la IA en sus empleos, sus facturas de electricidad y su salud mental, así como en el medioambiente. Una encuesta de junio del Pew Research Center encontró que más estadounidenses sienten que la IA será mala, más que buena, para la sociedad.\n\n\nEgresado del programa de religión y ciencia de la Universidad de Boston y autoproclamado ludita tecnológico, la postura anti-IA de Allen ahora está firmemente en la corriente principal. En febrero, la revista Time lo presentó en un reportaje de portada sobre la reacción en contra de la IA.\n\n\n“Ahora sueno menos loco”, dijo Allen antes de un discurso en marzo en la First Baptist Church de Dallas, una de las megas iglesias más grandes del país.\n\n\nLos discursos, escritos y apariciones en medios de Allen ayudan a impulsar una creciente grieta sobre la IA dentro de la derecha estadounidense que podría representar un problema para el presidente Donald Trump y los republicanos en las próximas elecciones de medio término. Muchos en las audiencias de Allen son simpatizantes de MAGA, pero no necesariamente están de acuerdo con el enfoque en gran medida de no intervención del Gobierno de Trump para regular la IA.\n\n\n“Hay toda una matriz cultural que ya está llena de este resentimiento. La gente está horrorizada por la imposición de la tecnología”, le dijo a CNN.“Están furiosos. No la quieren”.\n\n\nEn todo el país, estudiantes universitarios preocupados por sus perspectivas laborales abuchearon a la IA en ceremonias de graduación. Comunidades protestan contra la construcción de centros de datos de IA, temiendo que traigan contaminación y ruido. Familias demandan a empresas de IA por acciones perjudiciales que dicen que los chatbots de IA alentaron.\n\n\nAllen se apoya en esos sentimientos.\n\n\nNo es la tecnología moderna lo que Allen cuestiona; es la percepción de la IA como un “dios” que sabe mejor que los humanos qué es “bueno” y “verdadero”, en lugar de una herramienta, dijo durante su discurso en First Baptist.\n\n\nAfirmó ante varios cientos de feligreses que la “élite tecnológica” buscaba reemplazar a Dios con la “religión de la IA”. Una diapositiva de su presentación mostraba los rostros de destacados ejecutivos de IA pegados en los tentáculos de un poderoso monstruo ficticio conocido como el Shoggoth, originario de la novela corta de 1936 de H.P. Lovecraft, “At the Mountains of Madness”. La criatura se ha convertido en una metáfora en el mundo de la IA, simbolizando la incertidumbre sobre cómo funcionan los modelos de IA por dentro.\n\n\nLa IA “te usa” y se aprovecha de los niños, dijo, “enmascarada por la inocencia” de una pantalla.\n\n\n“Si eres escéptico respecto a esto, si no quieres vivir de esta manera, no estás solo”, comentó Allen.\n\n\nBannon, cuyo pódcast “War Room” ayudó a elevar a Allen ante una audiencia nacional, dijo que supo desde temprano que las palabras de Allen resonarían entre los estadounidenses de clase trabajadora y de clase media baja, y lo animó a llevar su mensaje de gira.\n\n\n“Es perfecto para ese público”, le dijo Bannon a CNN, citando la formación de Allen en teología, sus modales sureños y su capacidad para conectar con una multitud.\n\n\nLos gigantes tecnológicos han argumentado que la IA beneficiará a la sociedad al crear nuevos empleos y hacer a las personas más productivas, encargándose de tareas digitales tediosas como revisar correos electrónicos, escribir código, editar fotos y ponerse al día con las noticias. Las empresas también han promocionado las acciones para reducir el consumo de energía, pagar por la electricidad que consumen sus centros de datos e implementar barreras de seguridad en torno a sus modelos.\n\n\nLa Primera Iglesia Bautista tiene un complejo de 270.000 pies cuadrados en el centro de Dallas para atender a sus cerca de 16.000 feligreses.\n\n\nLa Primera Bautista es una de las iglesias más famosas y con mayor influencia política del país. Su líder, Robert Jeffries, ha sido durante mucho tiempo un aliado del presidente de EE.UU. Donald Trump, y muchos de los feligreses de la iglesia son declarados simpatizantes de Trump.\n\n\nPero cuando Allen llegó en marzo, quedó claro que a muchos de esos simpatizantes no les gustaba el enfoque inicial de Trump sobre la IA. Trump ha favorecido en gran medida una regulación más laxa, para que las empresas de IA puedan avanzar rápidamente y mantenerse por delante de China. Pero a algunos simpatizantes les preocupa que la tecnología avance demasiado rápido.\n\n\nElizabeth Gomez Crocker, por ejemplo, dijo que se considera una “Trumpy”, pero le preocupa que la IA reemplace empleos. Quiere que el desarrollo se desacelere para que se pueda hacer más investigación.\n\n\n“Trump sí dice algunas cosas que los verdaderos simpatizantes como yo nos quedamos como: ‘Guau, ¿qué?’”, afirmó.\n\n\nUna mayoría bipartidista quiere que el Gobierno regule la IA, según la encuesta de Pew de junio. Pero incluso entre los republicanos, el 61 % no confía en la capacidad del Gobierno para regular la IA de manera efectiva.\n\n\n“Los estadounidenses se están volviendo más negativos respecto de la IA con el tiempo”, incluso mientras empiezan a usar chatbots de IA con más frecuencia, dijo Jeff Gottfried, director asociado de Pew. Los jóvenes se sienten los más negativos sobre los impactos de la IA en la sociedad y el futuro, añadió Gottfried.\n\n\nAunque los simpatizantes de Trump recelosos de la IA son “muy respetuosos” con el presidente, puede ser difícil persuadirlos, aseguró Bannon. Pocos temas hoy en día encuentran unidad a lo largo del espectro político como la IA: una encuesta de CBS News/YouGov de mayo encontró que una mayoría de liberales, moderados y conservadores no cree que la política del Gobierno de EE.UU. vaya a garantizar que la IA se use “de la manera correcta”.\n\n\n“Han visto los hechos, han mirado los centros de datos, han mirado lo que está pasando en las escuelas, han mirado lo que está pasando con los empleos”, dijo Bannon. “No puedes convencerlos de esto, no hay giro que puedas darle”.\n\n\nAllen dijo que se considera solo una parte de una “red completa” que atraviesa divisiones ideológicas en contra de la IA. Es una grieta para Trump en este momento, indicó, pero espera que el presidente tome “la decisión correcta” sobre la IA.\n\n\n“Le quedan tres años para tomar esa decisión”, comentó Allen. “Y su legado dependerá de eso”.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Canada on multiple occasions had shots cleared off the line and looked like the better team throughout much of the game.\n\n\nHowever, the South Africans looked dangerous on the counterattack on multiple occasions and frustrated the Canadians throughout.\n\n\nIt took a moment of brilliance from Eustáquio, thumping a loose ball into the corner of the South African net as the game went into second-half injury time.\n\n\nThe match marked a bit of history – the first Round of 32 game in World Cup history as the tournament expanded to 48 teams for the first time this year. The first knockout round continues through Friday night, when the field will be winnowed to 16 teams.\n\n\nCanada drove most of the play through the opening 20 minutes before the hydration break, creating multiple chances – including one from defender Derek Cornelius, whose headed effort was saved by South African keeper Ronwen Williams.\n\n\nThe South Africans looked dangerous on the counterattack, creating multiple chances, though their shots in the opening minutes were limited to long-range strikes that barely troubled the Canadians.\n\n\nAs the clock ticked toward halftime, the Canadians got a little more inventive and put more pressure on the Bafana Bafana penalty area. A mad scramble off a corner kick in the 44th minute saw South African defender Aubrey Modiba blocking a shot off the line, preventing a sure goal, and then keeper Williams following that up with another key save before the ball was cleared.\n\n\nA minute later, Canada’s Richie Laryea fell in the box as he went to shoot, drawing immediate appeals for a penalty from Les Rouges. Referee João Pinheiro waved away calls for a penalty and was backed by the video assistant referee, ruling that Laryea initiated the contact.\n\n\nThat was the last opportunity before halftime, when Canada manager Jesse Marsch attempted to confront the referee over the decision but was pushed away by his own player, Moïse Bombito.\n\n\nThe start of the second half was most notable for a slow-motion replay of a Canadian fan dropping her phone as the crowd did the wave in the opening minutes. The action on the field wasn’t quite as enticing as neither side really created much as the second began, aside from one mishit Canadian chance just after the restart.\n\n\nThe game began to open up more in the minutes before the second-half hydration break as Canada once again forced the South Africans to clear off the line. A great through ball from Niko Sigur found Tani Oluwaseyi running behind the South African defense on a quick counterattack. Oluwaseyi’s shot was saved by Williams and popped up high, floating toward the goal before it was cleared away by Mbekezeli Mbokazi.\n\n\nAs the second half went on, Canada looked to be the more likely side to score, though the South Africans had their chances despite slowing their attack down to a glacial pace. Alphonso Davies of Bayern Munich entered the game for the Canadians in the 75th minute on the left wing, his first action of the tournament as he’s been recovering from a hamstring injury.\n\n\nHe quickly made an impact as he played a ball toward the box, which fell to Promise David on the edge of the box. The shot was blasted wide, only just missing the near-side post. A juking run by Davies in the 78th minute unlocked the South Africa defense again, as he passed to Jonathan David for another shot that was hit right at Williams for a simple save.\n\n\nBut after those moments of inspiration, the game once against slowed down as it seemed to be headed for 30 minutes of extra time. But the moment finally came as the second half wound into injury time.\n\n\nThe Canadians began to move down the right through Jacob Shaffelburg, who sent a cross into the box. The ball was headed away by Ime Okon, but it bounced favorably to Eustáquio, who finished spectacularly with a volley that found the bottom left corner past a sprawling Williams.\n\n\nIt was a moment of exultation for the Canadian fans who had traveled south for the match after 90 minutes of holding their collective breath. South Africa ramped up the pressure in the final minutes to try and find an equalizer, but they never truly threatened the Canadian goal.\n\n\nThe next match for the Canadians will come against either Morocco or the Netherlands on at 1 p.m. ET on July 4 in Houston.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Cristo Rey at 4 P.M., the hike up will begin at 4:30 P.M., and the mass will begin at 6 P.M. \n\n\n\nBishop Baldacchino advises people to bring water, wear sunscreen, and dress for the heat.  \n\n\n\nABC-7 reached out to DHS officials asking for a statement regarding the pilgrimage and construction of the border wall impacting future pilgrimages. A spokesperson responded with the following statement:\n\n\n\nSmart wall construction in this area is located within 250 feet of the southern border, well south of the Mount Cristo Rey cross and access road. The cross is located approximately A QUARTER MILE, 1,300 to 1,400 feet, north of the border ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN. Access to the shrine will not be affected, as all attendees enter from the U.S. side. The only individuals who could POSSIBLY be impacted by the border wall are illegal aliens attempting to illegally enter our country.\nThe post Diocese to host pilgrimage up Mt.

The pilot also died in the crash.\n\n\nA significant emergency response was mobilized, with police units and 50 firefighters deployed to the scene, according to local authorities.\n\n\nThe deadly incident comes just weeks after a skydiving plane crashed moments after takeoff in western Missouri, killing 12 people and reviving a longstanding debate over the regulation of skydiving planes.\n\n\nIn France, Séguy told BFMTV the plane crashed “almost vertically, right next to a housing development” on the edge of the airfield. “There were many witnesses at the scene of the accident,” including relatives of the victims, he said.\n\n\nNo bystanders were among the casualties, according to Séguy.\n\n\n‘We are awaiting the arrival of the forensic team to conduct the standard investigation,” Séguy said. The local official added that the French interior minister would visit the scene on Sunday.\n\n\n“We stand together with all involved, emergency services and all the elected officials around me,” Séguy added. “Our thoughts are with the victims and with their loved ones.”\n\n\n‘They had all died instantly’\n\n\n\nA witness to the crash, who was driving at the time, told Reuters news agency he saw the plane climbing into the air before suddenly veering to the right. “Something was clearly wrong. By the time I reached the roundabout, circled back and parked near the fire truck, a man was already on the scene trying to put out the flames,” the witness, who did not provide his name, said.\n\n\n“We saw right away that it was over, that they had all died instantly. There was no movement, and it was clear the impact had been too violent for there to be any survivors,” he added.\n\n\nFrench Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot called the crash a “terrible tragedy” with a “particularly high” death toll. He also confirmed on X that he would travel to Meurthe-et-Moselle on Sunday afternoon.\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional details.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Su apartamento en la capital venezolana quedó destruido por los terremotos de magnitud 7,2 y 7,5 que sacudieron al país el miércoles con apenas segundos de diferencia. Aun así, asegura que está entre las más afortunadas: ella y sus familiares sobrevivieron.\n\n\n“Creo que tenemos que aprender de todo lo que estamos viviendo. Que la vida es pasajera, apenas un instante. Tenemos que darle gracias a Dios, a la Virgen, o a aquello en lo que tengamos fe, porque seguimos vivos. También debemos ser más humanos, más solidarios y más humildes”.\n\n\nLos terremotos afectaron tanto a ricos como a pobres y golpearon a millones de personas, especialmente en el norte del país. La presidenta interina, Delcy Rodríguez, dijo a los venezolanos que no están solos. Sin embargo, décadas de mala gestión económica han dificultado la respuesta del Gobierno a este desastre natural, que se suma a una crisis humanitaria de larga data.\n\n\nLos habitantes han comenzado a tomar productos de primera necesidad de comercios en la ciudad portuaria de La Guaira, una de las zonas más afectadas.\n\n\nLos alimentos y el agua potable escasean en la ciudad, situada a unos 32 kilómetros de la capital, pero que ahora permanece en gran parte aislada por el colapso de carreteras y los daños en los puentes.\n\n\n“Somos las propias familias las que hemos intentado remover los escombros para encontrar a nuestros seres queridos”, dijo Mileidy Duque, de 43 años. “Mi madre, de 82 años; mi hermano; mi hija y el novio de ella siguen desaparecidos”.\n\n\nSu familia vivía en el segundo piso del edificio Luisa Cáceres de Arismendi, un complejo de viviendas del Gobierno inaugurado por el derrocado presidente Nicolás Maduro en 2015.\n\n\n“Esta situación es muy triste, no solo para mí, sino para toda Venezuela. No tengo palabras para explicar lo que se siente pensar que tu familia está atrapada ahí”, dijo Duque a CNN. “Siento que tengo las manos atadas. Es muy difícil”.\n\n\nLa hermana y el cuñado de Lindomar Milla figuran entre las víctimas mortales identificadas en el sector Playa Los Cocos, en La Guaira.\n\n\n“Estoy destrozado, pero le doy gracias a Dios porque sé dónde están”, dijo Milla a CNN mientras permanecía frente a la morgue de Caracas, donde fueron trasladados los cuerpos. “Hay familias de todo el país que todavía no saben si sus seres queridos están vivos o muertos. Es muy doloroso”.\n\n\nMuchos habitantes de La Guaira recuerdan otra tragedia, cuando la ciudad fue devastada por enormes deslizamientos de tierra tras lluvias torrenciales en diciembre de 1999. Nunca se publicó una cifra oficial de fallecidos, aunque investigadores de la Universidad Central de Venezuela estimaron que murieron cerca de 15.000 personas.\n\n\n“Esto fue mucho peor que los deslizamientos”, afirmó Milla. “Todavía hay muchísimas personas buscando a sus seres queridos. Hay quienes viajaron a La Guaira y encontraron que los edificios donde vivían sus familiares ya no existen”.\n\n\nCientos de réplicas han seguido sacudiendo edificios y poniendo a prueba los nervios de la población, mientras transcurren las llamadas 72 horas de oro, el período en el que es más probable encontrar con vida a personas atrapadas bajo los escombros.\n\n\nCada rescate de un sobreviviente desata aplausos y gritos de alegría, breves momentos de alivio que contrastan con el dolor y la tensión que se perciben en las calles.\n\n\nPero miles de personas siguen desaparecidas. A medida que pasan los días y el calor tropical se intensifica en las zonas afectadas, muchas personas han comenzado a usar mascarillas para protegerse del olor de la muerte y la descomposición.\n\n\n“He sentido muchísimo dolor e incertidumbre”, dijo Susana Henríquez detrás de la cinta amarilla que le impedía acercarse a lo que queda del complejo residencial Petunia, en el barrio caraqueño de Palos Grandes. Antes del terremoto, dos torres se alzaban entre calles arboladas dentro de un conjunto cerrado. Henríquez logró escapar de su vivienda en Petunia II. La otra torre colapsó.\n\n\n“Queremos confiar en que nuestros vecinos de Petunia I serán rescatados con vida”, dijo Henríquez a CNN.\n\n\nSu historia recuerda la dimensión humana de la tragedia y las vidas que hay detrás de las cifras. Más que números, los desaparecidos son amigos y familiares con nombre propio.\n\n\n“Tengo muchísimos amigos allí”, dijo Henríquez mientras contenía las lágrimas.\n\n\nMuchas familias en Venezuela están acostumbradas a vivir con muy poco. Los alimentos cuestan más de lo que la mayoría puede ganar, incluso trabajando en varios empleos, y la crisis económica, sumada a un Gobierno represivo, ha llevado a millones de venezolanos a buscar una vida mejor en la vecina Colombia o en países más lejanos, como EE.UU., desde donde envían dinero cuando pueden.\n\n\nAhora, los venezolanos se están organizando para reunir agua, medicamentos, alimentos y ropa para las personas afectadas por los terremotos.\n\n\nMariana Sánchez, una estudiante de 20 años, recorría Caracas con una bolsa de suministros para quien los necesitara.\n\n\n“Un grupo de amigos decidió reunirse y empezar a recolectar alimentos y otros insumos para llevarlos a las personas afectadas. También he visto a varios grupos universitarios organizándose de esta manera”, contó. “La gente está muy agradecida. Es en momentos como este cuando los venezolanos nos unimos y nos ayudamos mutuamente. Es muy inspirador”.\n\n\nTambién se han instalado centros de acopio en ciudades con una gran población venezolana, como Miami, Nueva York y Madrid.\n\n\n“Por muchos años que hayan pasado desde que me fui de Venezuela, siempre me dolerá ver sufrir al país”, dijo a CNN Marcos Mirabal, residente de Miami, durante una jornada de recolección de donaciones. “Traje pañales, linternas y ropa. Mis hijas tienen muchísima ropa y hay muchísimos niños en el país que están sufriendo en este momento”.\n\n\nQuienes no están completamente absorbidos por la supervivencia cotidiana también se preguntan si la respuesta habría sido más rápida si Venezuela contara con mejores servicios de emergencia, equipos más adecuados o una mayor inversión para fortalecer su infraestructura frente a un riesgo conocido.\n\n\n“Es increíble que estemos en 2026 y este país siga funcionando de esta manera”, dijo Gustavo Quintero a CNN. “Tenemos que buscar los nombres de nuestros seres queridos en hojas de papel escritas a mano; los bomberos no tienen los recursos necesarios para ayudar a la gente. No existe ni la logística mínima”.\n\n\nVenezuela ha atravesado décadas de dificultades, pero para personas como Miguel Martínez, un estudiante de Derecho de 18 años, la prioridad ahora es una sola: saber si su compañero de clase podrá ser rescatado con vida. Quizás entonces sea posible volver a pensar en un futuro mejor.\n\n\n“Nunca nos rendimos”, dijo Martínez a CNN. “Ya hemos pasado por muchísimas cosas y, cuando llegan los momentos difíciles, lo único que podemos hacer es apoyarnos unos a otros”.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

And each student who has entrusted me with their truth over the years has helped me remain brave and out. As Sunday marks the anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, I’m also reminded that their trust has fueled my drive to do and discuss difficult things.\n\n\nA college student lingers after class after everyone else files out. She asks an inconsequential question, hesitates. Then, eventually she says, “I think I might be gay.”\n\n\nSomeone else asks to meet with me to discuss a missed deadline. She’s awkward and speaks fast: “I’ve been really distracted. I kind of started seeing someone and they’re nonbinary, and now I’m trying to figure out what that means about me. And I need to talk about this, but I am not sure to who.”\n\n\nNo matter how proudly queer a student may become, in this moment they are almost always scared.\n\n\nI smile. “I am honored that you told me,” I say. “I’m proud to have earned your trust.”\n\n\nI am a university professor, and I have worked with college students for more than 25 years. I am also an openly queer woman. Each semester, in the first class, I introduce my whole self. My slides about the syllabus and classroom expectations flip, and a few photos appear: a camping trip, a baseball game, somebody’s graduation.\n\n\nFor some students, my “boring” and “ordinary” middle-aged life with a wife and two teenage sons is extraordinary. That’s because I am the first openly queer educator many of them have ever known.\n\n\nEvery time a student confides in me, I am reminded that the pride that drives me isn’t just personal; it’s collective and it’s fuel. It is this pride that sustains the courage to stand up for yourself or your child or your community — especially in times of uncertainty.\n\n\nMy coming-out story\n\n\n\nWhat my students don’t know is that my own coming-out story is similar to theirs. As a college student in the late ’90s, my anxieties centered on my identity, while the rest of the world seemed to worry about Y2K. I knew that I was attracted to women. I wanted to meet others with similar experiences, and I was terrified of being found out. I needed to process my thoughts and feelings, but I wasn’t sure how or where or with whom.\n\n\nMy Midwestern Catholic college did not have a booming queer community in the ’90s. The one gay and lesbian support group was confidential, and you had to meet with a member of the campus ministry team to get the meeting time and location. I couldn’t google “Does this mean I am gay?” or find the “nearest LGBT bar to me.”\n\n\nI, too, came out to one of my professors. Or, more accurately, I came out to that professor in an academic assignment. A friend quietly shared a novel with a closeted queer protagonist. Reading this novel was the first time my own thoughts and experiences were reflected back to me in a book. I read it in its entirety in one morning.\n\n\nThat afternoon, I decided to use that same novel as the source for a communications class assignment on the concept of self-disclosure. I weaved in examples from my own experience as a closeted queer person on campus into the analysis. I described the weight of my anxiety about being found out and of trying to control what I revealed or concealed through each thing I wore or said or did. It was the hardest I’d ever worked on a paper. I got a D. The professor called the novel “an inappropriate text” and suggested I did not understand the concept of self-disclosure.\n\n\nThe hell I didn’t. The paper itself was self-disclosure.\n\n\nWriting that paper was a way for me to make sense of myself. It was key to my identity formation, regardless of the professor’s reaction, and I have been out ever since.\n\n\nComing out is an act of self-discovery. Before we can tell the truth about ourselves to the world, we often spend a long time wrestling with what that truth is — in our heads, on the page and, eventually, in conversations with those we can trust.\n\n\nThroughout my career, I have always been out, not as some grand act of bravery or politics, but because hiding is hard work. Constant vigilance and self-editing are exhausting. I’d rather invest my energy in my family, my community and my work than in managing other people’s discomfort with who I am. As a result, college students have always come out to me. The conversations have varied through time and location and popular culture, although, still more often than not, they have the hallmarks of new and nervous love stories.\n\n\nPride builds inner strength\n\n\n\nThese days, I am closer to their parents’ age. The conversations have changed; more students approach me as a kind of parent-proxy. I am the stand-in or understudy for the more important conversation they want to have at home. It’s a role I take very seriously, for the student and for any parent.\n\n\nAnd maybe that’s why, when a nervous student tries to be nonchalant and quietly approaches me to say, “Sorry I was late to class. I came from my boyfriend’s house this morning,” I notice his quick glance to gauge my reaction.\n\n\nI smile and raise one eyebrow. “Is this new?” I ask.\n\n\nHe’s kind of bashful, blushing, nods yes.\n\n\nI thank him for trusting me. I tell him that I am proud of him.\n\n\nHe releases a breath. Stands a little taller.\n\n\n“And how’s it all going?” I ask.\n\n\n“It’s pretty great,” he says, “but also, umm, kind of scary.”\n\n\nYes, it can be scary. But we cannot prioritize comfort over growth.\n\n\nA person hardly has to turn on the news or scroll through their social media feed, and it feels like the country is in a yearslong cage match. Us vs. them. Red vs. blue. Good vs. evil.\n\n\nMy students and young people everywhere are not naive to the ways LGBTQ+ folks have been villainized by political pundits, or that books featuring queer characters or storylines have been pulled from the shelves of their libraries. Gen Zers hear the rhetoric and notice how their loved ones respond (or not). Even as they begin to develop their own sense of pride, they are not immune to the messages of shame and disgust and intolerance.\n\n\nWhen my students trust me with their thoughts, I respond in the way I would have hoped for: I thank them, ask caring questions and share some basic resources. I know these young people are looking for acknowledgment, reassurance and community.\n\n\nI am hospitable and welcoming and celebratory. Sometimes I am among the first they told. Some have already talked to a parent; others are working up the nerve. Usually, they suspect that their parents might already know or will be accepting or will eventually come around. My students aren’t afraid of outright rejection — more, of being a source of anxiety or disappointment.\n\n\nMany feel shame that the people they love will suddenly be burdened by the messages and hateful rhetoric. My students don’t want anyone to worry about their future, their safety or their happiness. They want their parents to really know them; they want to be honest and share their authentic stories with their loved ones. They want to be seen and understood.\n\n\nWhich is why we still need pride, even beyond the month of June. Pride is bigger than a parade float or a drag show — though those are certainly central, celebratory elements. Pride is also a foundational element to a feeling of belonging. It’s knowing that people care about you. That you are valuable and have worth. Pride is also about developing confidence and self-assuredness to do hard things.\n\n\nShame shrinks us and silences our stories. Pride lets us grow.

So he pursued a different kind of roadie life: traveling around the country and writing about the dangers of new technology and artificial intelligence for outlets like The Federalist — eventually landing a gig on former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast.\n\n\nAllen’s skepticism would have been niche just a few years ago. But now he also travels the country giving sermons warning about the dangers of AI, striking a nerve with Americans who are increasingly worried about AI’s impact on their jobs, electricity bills and mental health, as well as the environment. A June survey from the Pew Research Center found more Americans feel AI will be bad than good for society.\n\n\nA graduate of Boston University’s religion and science program and a self-proclaimed tech-Luddite, Allen’s anti-AI stance is now firmly in the mainstream. In February, Time magazine featured him in a cover story about the backlash against AI.\n\n\n“I sound less crazy now,” Allen said before a speech in March at Dallas’ First Baptist Church, one of the country’s largest mega churches.\n\n\nAllen’s speeches, writings, and media appearances are helping fuel a widening rift on AI within the American right that could pose a problem for President Donald Trump and Republicans in the coming midterm elections. Many in Allen’s audiences are MAGA supporters — but they don’t necessarily agree with the Trump administration’s largely hands-off approach to regulating AI.\n\n\n“There is this whole cultural matrix that’s already filled with this resentment. People are horrified by the imposition of technology,” he told CNN. “They’re furious. They do not want it.”\n\n\nGrowing pushback against AI\n\n\n\nNationwide, college students worried about their job prospects booed AI at commencement ceremonies. Communities are protesting the construction of AI data centers, afraid they’ll bring pollution and noise. Families are suing AI companies for harmful actions they say AI chatbots encouraged.\n\n\nAllen leans into those sentiments.\n\n\nIt’s not modern technology that Allen takes issue with; it’s the perception of AI as a “god” that knows better than humans about what is “good” and “true” rather than a tool, he said during his speech at First Baptist.\n\n\nHe claimed to several hundred parishioners that the “tech elite” aimed to replace God with the “religion of AI.” One slide in his presentation showed the faces of prominent AI executives pasted onto the tentacles of a powerful fictional monster known as the Shoggoth, originating from H.P. Lovecraft’s 1936 novella At the Mountains of Madness. The creature has become a metaphor in the AI world, symbolizing the uncertainty around how AI models work under the hood.\n\n\nAI “uses you” and preys on children, he said, “masked by the innocence” of a screen.\n\n\n“If you’re skeptical of this, if you don’t want to live this way, you are not alone,” Allen said.\n\n\nBannon, whose “War Room” podcast helped elevate Allen to a national audience, said he knew early on that Allen’s words would resonate with working-class and lower-middle-class Americans and encouraged him to take his message on the road.\n\n\n“He’s perfect for that audience,” Bannon told CNN, citing Allen’s background in theology, his Southern mannerisms and ability to connect to a crowd.\n\n\nTech giants have argued that AI will benefit society by creating new jobs and making people more productive, handling digital drudgery like sifting through emails, writing code, editing photos and catching up on the news. Companies have also touted efforts to reduce energy consumption, pay for the power their data centers consume and implement guardrails around their models.\n\n\n‘You can’t sell them on this’\n\n\n\nThe First Baptist Church has a 270,000 square foot complex in downtown Dallas to serve its 16,000 or so congregants. (It even has its own parking garage.)\n\n\nFirst Baptist is one of the most famous and politically influential churches in the country. Its leader, Robert Jeffries has been a longtime ally of President Donald Trump, and many of the church’s congregants are avowed Trump supporters.\n\n\nBut when Allen came in March, it was clear many of those supporters didn’t like Trump’s initial approach to AI. Trump has largely favored looser regulation, so AI companies can advance quickly and stay ahead of China. But some supporters worry the tech is moving too fast.\n\n\nElizabeth Gomez Crocker, for example, said she considers herself a “Trumpy” but worries about AI replacing jobs. She wants development to slow down so more research can be done.\n\n\n“Trump does say some things that true supporters like myself are going, ‘Whoa, what?” she said.\n\n\nA bipartisan majority wants the government to regulate AI, Pew’s June survey showed. But even among Republicans, 61% are not confident in the government’s ability to regulate AI effectively.\n\n\n“Americans are becoming more negative on AI over time” even as they start to use AI chatbots more frequently, said Pew Associate Director Jeff Gottfried. Younger people feel the most negative about AI’s impacts on society and the future, Gottfried added.\n\n\nWhile Trump supporters wary of AI are “very respectful” toward the president, they may be tough to sway, said Bannon. Few topics these days find unity across the political spectrum like AI — a CBS News/YouGov poll from May found a majority of liberals, moderates and conservatives do not think the US government policy will make sure AI is used “in the right way.”\n\n\n“They have seen the facts, they’ve looked at the data centers, they’ve looked at what’s happening in the schools, they’ve looked at what’s going on the jobs,” Bannon said. “You can’t sell them on this, there’s no spin you can put on it.”\n\n\nAllen said he considers himself just one part of an “entire network” spanning ideological divides against AI. It’s a rift for Trump right now, he said, but he hopes the president makes “the right choice” on AI.\n\n\n“He’s got three years to make that decision,” Allen said. “And his legacy is going to depend on that.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Olivia Rodrigo partnered with Spotify for a now sold-out throwback FC Barcelona jersey stamped with her bubbly monogram over the red and blue vertical stripes. The Gap has two limited-edition summer collections featuring jerseys inspired by “football culture,” while Nike has two collections of Latin American-themed “statement” jerseys “rooted in the culture and emotion of the game.”\n\n\nAlso some people are wearing jerseys to play soccer in stadiums.\n\n\nMany of these proliferating jerseys are not meant to be replicas of the game gear worn by favorite athletes. Instead, their designs either nod to official team jerseys or do something else entirely. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, to commemorate the city’s involvement in the World Cup, oversaw the release of retro-look striped New York jerseys — originally priced at $50 in an affordability initiative, but now listed on the luxury resale site Grailed for more than $1,000.\n\n\nIn lieu of a team badge, the jerseys in Mamdani’s municipal merch drop feature a soccer ball emblem. This World Cup summer, soccer is not just a team sport but a style, as jerseys have made the leap from die-hard fans to people aiming to look cool.\n\n\nLike the polo shirt or rugby stripes before it, the soccer jersey is transcending its associations with the sport. Its basic form — a simple pullover with short or long sleeves and optionally a collar — makes it harmonize with other clothing better than a baseball or basketball jersey would, while vibrant colors or sharp graphics make it stand out.\n\n\n“That pink Inter Miami jersey, I feel like a cool girl might wear that on the dance floor in New York,” said fashion magazine maker Markus Ebner. “Not because she’s an Inter Miami fan; because it’s pink and it’s cool.”\n\n\nWhile soccer is the most popular sport in the world, its position in the US has been more of a “slow acceptance,” said fashion photographer Phil Oh. Ten years ago, there were certain stereotypes around wearing jerseys, Oh said — hipsters calling the game “footy,” for example, a try-hard association inspiring eye rolls.\n\n\nBut as soccer has grown more popular stateside, so has the jersey. Streetwear brands were especially early adapters: Supreme made a soccer jersey with Umbro in 2005, a time when soccer broadcasts in the US were still scattered across niche or premium channels. In the early 2010s, Snoop Dogg became known for incorporating a variety of soccer jerseys into his wardrobe, even those of warring teams, drawing some side-eyes from die-hard fans. Drake wore a pink Juventus away jersey in 2016, a move seemingly so rare for a rapper of his stature that eBay listings still sell the jersey as a “Juventus x Drake.”\n\n\nIt was around that time that Josh Warwick, one of the co-founders of Cult Kits, a vintage soccer jersey retail website, began noticing a shift. The jerseys were being bought by people who weren’t just soccer nerds or fans looking for deep cuts. At a Cult Kit pop-up in New York in 2022, Warwick recalled some young women in their early 20s coming in and leaving with a “really random” neon yellow Blackburn Rovers away shirt from 1996, a relic of the first-division years of a team that had been mired in English soccer’s second or third divisions for a decade.\n\n\n“That was quite a good illustration of the way that football shirt culture is diversified from just people who just love the club or love the game to actually people who really appreciate the aesthetic of the shirt as well,” Warwick said.\n\n\nThe jersey trend in the US has grown so much that in the last two to three years, the US has surpassed the UK to become Cult Kits’ biggest market. And the ubiquity with which the soccer jersey has been adopted by various brands signals growing demand.\n\n\nDesigners big and small have recently released a slew of remixed soccer jerseys, emblazoned with brand names across the chest where the sponsorship would usually go: Miaou, Nahmias, Aimé Leon Dore and Ksubi, among others. Fast fashion retailers have joined in, as fast fashion retailers must: H&M released a collection with Lotto earlier this year, while ASOS now sells a variety of knockoff national jerseys.\n\n\nAlong with the boom in vintage jersey sales has come a growing market for newly made replicas of the originals: Both Fanatics and Nike now sell reissues of soccer jerseys from the 1990s, while Ebbets Field sells new gear from the defunct North American Soccer League, including reproductions of the bright yellow and green New York Cosmos jersey worn by the aging Pelé in the ‘70s.\n\n\nDesigner Colm Dillane of KidSuper, a longtime soccer fan, released a collection with Brazilian legend Ronaldinho in 2024. The star even walked the runway at Paris Fashion Week that year, wearing a T-shirt printed with his own face — a nod to bootleg shirts sold all over the world — underneath a thick fur coat. But this year, ahead of the World Cup, Dillane designed a jersey with Complex and Bank of America, a sign of just how commercialized the soccer jersey phenomenon has become.\n\n\nPart of the reason for the growing trend comes down to money, Oh said.\n\n\n“The accountants on the team say, ‘Oh, well, soccer is big, and it’s a growing market, so go do something there,’” Oh said. “On the other hand, maybe the interest by the designers has always been there, they just never been allowed to express it, because athletics was seen as an opposite medium to fashion.”\n\n\nThe fashion industry has been struggling in Europe and China, while seeing growth in North America, Ebner said. The World Cup, which is being hosted by Canada, Mexico and the United States, has given the industry a chance to capitalize on that market, he said: “Everyone has been kind of scrambling to come up with something, to have a product ready.”\n\n\nSoccer jerseys were initially marketed toward children in the 1950s, when clubs would sell the entire kit — the shorts and the shirt. There were no sponsorships on the front, no club badge, and the designs were “pretty simple,” said Brian D. Bunk, historian and author of “The Shortest History of Soccer.” The kits weren’t meant to be fashionable; they were meant to play soccer in. A youth team might buy a set of uniforms, he said, or a kid may purchase one endorsed by their favorite player.\n\n\nDetailed replica jerseys came later. As clubs began trademarking their designs, making the jerseys readily identifiable as Manchester United, or Arsenal, or whatever team, the shirts began to be marketed as leisurewear, Bunk said, though still only for children and teenagers.\n\n\nThat started to change in the 1980s. The rise of color TV meant viewers could see the jerseys better, and the fitness boom meant athleisure was becoming more socially acceptable for adults. Slowly, jerseys were targeted toward fans of all ages.\n\n\n“If you look at pictures of stadiums in 1980, no adult has a replica shirt on,” Bunk said. “Then 10 years later, you’ll see a bunch of them.”\n\n\nIn the early 1990s, Manchester United opened its megastore at Old Trafford, selling replica jerseys and other logoed gear. While Manchester United was criticized at the time for trying to extract “as much money as they could from as many different sources,” Bunk said, other teams followed suit. What was once a sign of the overcommercialization of soccer became just another part of the game.\n\n\nToday, a Manchester United replica jersey with a player’s name on the back runs about $200; a 1990–92 reissue jersey from Adidas, not a genuine vintage product, is at least $155. And the clubs redesign the jerseys every year — as opposed to every couple of years, the norm a few decades ago — increasingly incentivizing fans to buy a new jersey every season.\n\n\nAs the fashion industry embraces these jerseys, some teams are leaning in. Venezia FC, an Italian club that has spent much of its history down in Serie B, has collaborated with creative agencies for its jersey design and highlighted team shirts as lifestyle first in promotional images — models tuck the shirts into pleated pants and wear them in restaurants and on boats. Similarly, the Nigerian national soccer team was part of a Nike capsule collection for which designers created fashion-forward jerseys for multiple countries. Launched ahead of this year’s World Cup, the fact that Nigeria failed to qualify for the competition seemed to matter less than the team’s reputation for having standout jerseys.\n\n\nThe optimistic view: Soccer jerseys as fashion is a sign that the US is finally learning to love soccer as much as the rest of the world. The pessimistic view: The trend is instead an example of the fashion industry learning what soccer teams discovered decades ago — jerseys, like ticket sales, are just another valuable revenue stream.\n\n\nBut true soccer fans know the value inherent in a jersey, especially original ones. Cult Kits’ Warwick, a longtime Ipswich Town fan, has a cherished match-worn 1991-92 jersey, long-sleeved and bright orange, the type of shirt he would never wear casually. Umbro, the jersey manufacturer, has reissued some older Ipswich Town jerseys from the 1990s, as other manufacturers have, but not this specific one. For the last game of the 2025-26 season, after which Ipswich Town was promoted to the English Premier League — a special occasion — Warwick wore the jersey for the game, just “showing off a little bit,” he said.\n\n\nEven in an increasingly saturated market, jerseys still carry weight. Ten years ago, a boy in Afghanistan went viral after he was photographed grinning ear-to-ear in an Argentina Lionel Messi jersey he made out of a striped plastic bag; Messi later sent him two autographed shirts and eventually met him. In a letter to his late sister published ahead of this year’s World Cup, Ivory Coast starter Yan Diomande recalled a fake Manchester United jersey he’d received as a kid in Abidjan; with a black marker, he wrote “RONALDO” and a giant block “7” on the back.\n\n\n“This is why I have always had references to football culture in my collections,” said designer Martine Rose in 2023, after designing a collection for the US Women’s National Team. “Because of how widespread and powerful the game is and how it has united people; how it brings people together, how it gives people hope.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

To subscribe, click here.\n\n\nAnd … breathe.\n\n\nMore than three weeks of multiple World Cup group matches daily has come to an end. For me, this is always a sort of solemn day. While the point of the World Cup is ostensibly to crown a world champion, and the only way to do that is through knockout games that eliminate the rest of the field, the group games are the true joy of the tournament.\n\n\nThe smaller nations celebrating a summer in the sporting sun, the long-planned vacations abroad coming to fruition, the jam-packed daily schedule of games, the Scots arriving on our shores and drinking all our beer before leaving us dazed at what just happened – the group stages provide it all.\n\n\nNow we come to a particularly jarring day in the World Cup calendar: There is just one game. Only one. And – unsurprisingly for this World Cup – it comes with a bit of controversy. Let’s get into it.\n\n\nA Canadian complaint\n\n\n\nThis is an unusual tournament that is serving up unusual circumstances left and right. The latest twist involves one of the co-host nations having to travel out of their country to play a knockout game.\n\n\nCanada takes on South Africa outside Los Angeles at the spectacular SoFi Stadium at 3 p.m. ET today, marking the first time in World Cup history that a host nation will play a win-or-go-home game outside of its own territory. Thanks to a 2-1 loss to Switzerland in its final group match, the Canadians finished second in Group B and were sent to SoCal for their Round of 32 match against Bafana Bafana.\n\n\nThe Swiss, meanwhile, will play in Vancouver at BC Place.\n\n\nBeing a World Cup host nation comes with certain privileges, and home-field advantage is certainly the most important of them. Many Canadians feel that FIFA erred by not ensuring that the teams advancing from Group B would play their knockout rounds in Canada, especially given that Les Rouges were not guaranteed to advance – Canada had never won a World Cup game before this tournament, let alone made the knockouts.\n\n\nSurely, FIFA would counter by saying Canada shouldn’t have lost to the Swiss in their final group stage match, meaning this could have been avoided.\n\n\nIt’s a circumstance that could only be served up by this World Cup, but it will happen again in the next one. In 2030, the 100th anniversary of the first World Cup, we will see a truly wild amount of global travel for the quadrennial showcase.\n\n\nCelebratory matches marking the centennial anniversary will be held in South America – Montevideo, Uruguay, which hosted the inaugural World Cup; Buenos Aires, the home of three-time winners Argentina; and Asunción, Paraguay, the historical home of the South American soccer governing body, CONMEBOL. Then it will move to the proper hosts of the rest of the tournament – Spain, Portugal and Morocco.\n\n\nThat amount of splitting will surely present those three host nations with similar situations to the one Canada is facing now. Still, the Canadians – and maybe the Mexicans too, if they advance deep into the tournament (the last game hosted south of the border is in the Round of 16) – will feel hard done by. South Korea and Japan did not face similar situations in 2002 when they were the home nations for the first co-hosted World Cup.\n\n\nThe Canadians will look to make the best of it against the South Africans, but even victory won’t see them back north – their path now runs solely through US-based stadiums.\n\n\nSouth Africa vs. Canada\n\n\n\nWhen? 3 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Los Angeles Stadium (SoFi Stadium), Inglewood, USA\n\n\nFrom CNN’s Ben Church:\n\n\nThis is a match of firsts for several reasons. For starters, this is the first knockout match of this year’s tournament. But more notably, it’s also the first time both nations will be playing in the knockout stages of a men’s World Cup.\n\n\nFor Canada, it’s third time lucky after been dumped out of the group stages in both 1986 and 2022. For South Africa, it’s been a slightly more frustrating wait, having failed to reach this round in 1998, 2002 and 2010.\n\n\nTruth is, until the last group-stage match, it looked as though Bafana Bafana would miss out again. They were blown away by Mexico in the tournament’s opening match and initially fell behind against Czech Republic in their second.\n\n\nBut a late equalizing penalty in that match, coupled with a narrow 1-0 win against South Korea in their last outing, was enough for the team to make history.\n\n\nEven the most ardent South Africa fan would concede the team played poorly for much of the group stage, but the squad seems to have strong unity and managed to finally click against South Korea when it really mattered.\n\n\nAs for Canada, it’s been a bit of a mixed bag. There were positive signs after a brilliant second half against Bosnia earned a draw in their opener, which was then followed by a 6-0 annihilation of Qatar. A 2-1 defeat to Switzerland took the shine off a bit, but there are still plenty of reasons to stay cheerful if you’re a Canada fan.\n\n\nAmerica’s new greatest export\n\n\n\nAs a native Midwesterner, I’ve long extolled the wonders of ranch dressing. It is so gratifying then to see our visitors from around the world discovering the wonders of this fantastic condiment. CNN’s Amy Gunia has more:\n\n\nRanch dressing, a sauce made mainly from buttermilk, vegetable oil and spices, is getting love from tourists experiencing American food and culture for the first time.\n\n\n“Ranch dressing should be a human right,” wrote one Redditor, who identified as a European tourist, in a thread about World Cup visitors’ feedback on the country.\n\n\nFans are going so gaga for the sauce that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which manages passenger screening at airports, commented on the trend.\n\n\n“Yeah sooo your carry-on wasn’t actually made for checks notes 4 bottles of ranch …” the TSA said in a post on Instagram last week.\n\n\nThe condiment was invented in the 1950s by a plumber working in Alaska who needed a creative way to keep the meals he cooked for coworkers interesting. When he retired to a California dude ranch, a vacation resort where tourists can experience ranch life, he started selling DIY spice kits via mail.\n\n\nThat caught the attention of Clorox, which bought Hidden Valley Ranch in 1972. The company created a shelf-stable bottled version, and modern ranch dressing was born.\n\n\nWorld Cup fan interest in the dressing “happened organically,” Stacy Stokes, Hidden Valley’s vice president of marketing, told CNN.\n\n\nThat doesn’t mean that the company isn’t trying to capitalize on it, though. Stokes says that the company will be handing out seasoning mix packets in host cities in July. The powder can be mixed with buttermilk and mayonnaise to create the dressing.\n\n\nMeanwhile, food and beverage giant the Kraft Heinz Company, which also sells ranch dressing, said that it would be introducing a TSA-compliant version of its product.\n\n\nRead more here\n\n\n“Olé, olé olé olé! Congo! Congo!”\n\n\n\nIf you were anywhere near downtown Atlanta last night, that joyful sound is likely what’s stuck in your head this morning.\n\n\nMaking its first World Cup appearance in 52 years, when the nation was known as Zaire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo came into Mercedes-Benz Stadium last night needing to get a result against Uzbekistan to move into the knockout rounds for the first time. Tens of thousands of sky blue-clad fans anxiously awaited history – only to be knocked back just 10 minutes into the game when the Uzbeks opened the scoring.\n\n\nIt took until the 68th minute for the Congolese to answer, when Yoane Wissa buried a spot-kick to equalize. Ten minutes later, Fiston Mayele pounced and redirected a shot into the back of the Uzbek net and the party was officially on.\n\n\nOne of the most special things about being at the World Cup is seeing pure joy in real life, and I was lucky enough to sit with a few coworkers in the stands to take in the vibe. The Congo fans danced, sang, hugged, shouted in disbelief. The noise rang around the stadium, with smiles plastered on overwhelmed faces. It was infectious – even the thousands of neutrals in the stadium couldn’t help dancing along.\n\n\nWhen Wissa fired in the insurance goal in the fourth minute of stoppage time, it was utter delirium inside a stadium that had been derided by South Africa’s coach as “not a football ground” earlier in the tournament. When the full-time whistle blew, the Congolese team rushed onto the field to celebrate with their fans as tears ran down faces all over the stands.\n\n\nIt was the Congo’s first-ever World Cup victory and ensured they would return to Atlanta on Wednesday to take on England in the Round of 32. But judging by the celebrations in the stairwells, corridors and streets outside the stadium, you’d have thought they’d won the whole thing.\n\n\nIt was joy, pure and simple – the exact kind of thing that makes this tournament so great.\n\n\nDoes the USA have a real shot at winning the World Cup?\n\n\n\nAfter winning Group D, the United States national team has its fans feeling more confident than ever that they can win the World Cup. But what do soccer fans from other countries have to say about the bold prediction? Andy Scholes went to the Los Angeles Fan Festival to find out.\n\n\nEvery day is soccer jersey day\n\n\n\nCNN’s Leah Asmelash breaks down this summer’s hottest fashion statement: Soccer jerseys. They’re slick-looking, they’re comfortable, they hide sweat. What’s not to love?\n\n\nSoccer jerseys! Who doesn’t have one? Olivia Rodrigo partnered with Spotify for a now sold-out throwback FC Barcelona jersey stamped with her bubbly monogram over the red and blue vertical stripes.

Maybe?) rivalry that has formed in Fox’s studio show between one of the greatest soccer players of his generation and a red-haired American commentator known for the hottest of takes.\n\n\nFor all the soccer storylines on the pitch at the 2026 World Cup, perhaps the most entertaining has come off it, between representatives of Sweden and the United States.\n\n\nFox is the domestic rights-holder of both the men’s and women’s World Cups, and this summer, executives have beefed up their coverage with a number of flashy hires, including Swedish star Zlatan Ibrahimovic, French legend Thierry Henry and British-born broadcaster Rebecca Lowe.\n\n\nThe now 44-year-old Ibra retired a few years ago with a glittering resume of titles across multiple European nations. But his career as a TV pundit is already proving to be just as noteworthy, and he’s seemingly had his new colleague Alexi Lalas in his crosshairs, akin to the many goalkeepers he mercilessly destroyed during his playing career.\n\n\nWhether you’d been watching on TV, or seen the clips online, it won’t have escaped your notice that Zlatan had reveled in any opportunity to take Lalas down a notch or two in the early stages of the World Cup, including on the fashion front (“We can discuss…”).\n\n\nOne of the awkward early exchanges, which was supposedly about Landon Donovan’s comments on the French team, resulted in Zlatan exclaiming, “It’s not arrogance, it’s confidence. Ignorant people will say it’s arrogance, intelligent people will say it’s confidence.” (Thierry Henry’s eye-popping reaction left no doubt whom Zlatan was referring to).\n\n\nBut the segment from the Fox studio approximately a week into the tournament, as Lowe explained that Lalas was covering the USA-Australia game in Seattle, was quite something.\n\n\nLowe: “Chaps, Alexi left us.”Ibrahimovic: “Who?”Lowe: “Alexi will be back.”Henry: “Your plan worked, Rebecca.”Lowe: “Don’t you bring me into this, no chance.”Ibrahimovic, to camera: “America, you’re welcome.”\n\n\nPerhaps we’re all being played, and this is indeed playing out how Fox planned, and the “chaps” are getting along famously.\n\n\nSure enough, since Lalas returned from Seattle, there seems to have been a softening. Zlatan was even awarded Fox Sports’ “Employee of the Month,” and even (very briefly) took over from Lowe as the main anchor in a Colombia-Portugal pre-match segment on Saturday. During the bit, Zlatan asked his British colleague to make him a cup of tea and casually noted that he would eventually be president (we think he was joking).\n\n\nBack in 2019, I had the pleasure of interviewing Ibrahimovic at an MLS media day when he played for the Los Angeles Galaxy, and he couldn’t have been more charming. Before the cameras rolled, I introduced myself, while offering my hand.\n\n\nHe shook it silently, before shaking his head as if to say, “Where are my manners?” Taking my hand in both of his, he looked me in the eye, and for avoidance of any doubt, simply stated one word: “Zlatan.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Las afirmaciones categóricas que Trump ha hecho anteriormente de que “nadie se va” de sus eventos antes de que termine de hablar no eran ciertas. Su afirmación específica de que nadie abandonó este evento antes de que concluyera también es demostrablemente falsa.\n\n\nUn video publicado por The Bulwark, un medio crítico de Trump, mostró a decenas de personas saliendo del evento unos 17 minutos después del inicio del discurso del presidente, que duró 28 minutos. El corresponsal principal de CNN Donie O’Sullivan, quien estuvo en el lugar entrevistando a los asistentes, dijo que vio a cientos de personas dirigirse hacia las salidas mientras Trump seguía hablando.\n\n\nHay muchas razones comunes por las que la gente puede marcharse antes de que termine un evento. O’Sullivan explicó que algunas personas le dijeron que habían asistido para ver los sobrevuelos de aviones militares previos al discurso. Además, el público de un acto oficialmente no partidista para conmemorar el 250.º aniversario del país, celebrado en el National Mall de la capital, donde predominan los votantes demócratas y que es una zona muy transitada por peatones, probablemente incluía una mayor proporción de curiosos que un mitin habitual de Trump en alguno de sus bastiones rurales. La gente tiene trabajo, familia y otras obligaciones. También es cierto que la mayor parte del público permaneció hasta que Trump terminó su intervención.\n\n\nPero Trump afirmó que “todo el mundo” se quedó hasta el final. Eso no ocurrió.\n\n\n¿Por qué dijo eso el presidente? Para ser justos, no está claro si se dio cuenta de que algunas personas se marchaban o si vio el video de The Bulwark. Sin embargo, desde hace años Trump ha mentido de forma reiterada sobre asuntos triviales y ha exagerado sistemáticamente tanto el tamaño de las multitudes que atrae como su popularidad en general. En su esfuerzo por cultivar una imagen de magnetismo incomparable, ha demostrado durante años ser especialmente sensible a los hechos que la contradicen, como las observaciones precisas de que algunas personas están dispuestas a darle la espalda antes de que termine de hablar.\n\n\nLa publicación de Trump este jueves retomó una afirmación que repitió en numerosas ocasiones durante la campaña presidencial de 2024.\n\n\nDespués de que su rival en 2024, la entonces vicepresidenta Kamala Harris, dijera durante el debate televisado que “la gente empieza a irse temprano de sus mítines por agotamiento y aburrimiento”, Trump respondió: “La gente no se va de mis mítines. Tenemos los mítines más grandes, los más increíbles de la historia de la política”. Posteriormente volvió al tema sin que nadie se lo preguntara durante actos de campaña en Arizona y Carolina del Norte, donde aseguró que “nadie se va antes”, y en Michigan afirmó que “honestamente, nadie lo hace”.\n\n\nTampoco era cierto entonces.\n\n\nEl Detroit Free Press señaló que en un acto celebrado en Michigan durante el otoño de 2024 “el público se redujo de forma evidente” a medida que avanzaba el discurso de 85 minutos. The New York Times informó que, en un evento en Carolina del Norte celebrado pocos días antes de las elecciones de 2024, “a los cinco minutos de comenzar su discurso, un flujo constante de asistentes comenzó a dirigirse hacia la salida, un éxodo que nunca se detuvo por completo”. The Washington Post publicó un reportaje sobre el hecho de que “decenas de personas” abandonaron antes de tiempo muchos eventos de Trump en 2024 y señaló, por ejemplo, que “cientos, si no miles” se marcharon de uno celebrado en Atlanta. (El diario entrevistó a personas que se fueron antes del final en distintos lugares del país. Algunas dijeron que querían evitar el tráfico; otras, que tenían un perro esperándolas en casa, que debían trabajar al día siguiente, que el sonido era deficiente o, en algunos casos, que estaban descontentas con los discursos). The Guardian informó que “alrededor de tres de cada diez personas” abandonaron antes del final un acto de Trump celebrado en Georgia en el otoño de 2024, al que el entonces candidato había llegado con retraso.\n\n\nPor supuesto, ninguna de esas salidas anticipadas le impidió ganar las elecciones.\n\n\nTrump, que suele repetir con facilidad sus afirmaciones falsas incluso después de que hayan sido desmentidas, tuvo dificultades al menos una vez para sostener esta en particular. En un mitin celebrado en Michigan en septiembre de 2024 dijo: “La gente que ustedes ven irse…”, pero enseguida se corrigió y añadió: “Porque nadie se va nunca…”. Después agregó: “Y cuando lo hacen, termino rápido, créanme”. Finalmente sugirió que todas las personas que se levantaban de sus asientos simplemente iban a hacer fila para tomarse una fotografía con él detrás del escenario al terminar el acto.\n\n\nLo cual, como dejó claro ese mismo monólogo de Trump, tampoco era cierto.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Qué perdedor”, dijo Biden a los asistentes al evento, realizado en un casino de Maryland.\n\n\n“El estanque reflectante refleja algo aún peor que el narcisismo y la incompetencia que están en el centro de este Gobierno de Trump”, continuó. “Es la corrupción, la corrupción, una corrupción descarada y flagrante. Una corrupción a una escala nunca antes vista en la historia de Estados Unidos bajo ningún Gobierno”.\n\n\nEl discurso, de unos 10 minutos, fue una de las críticas más contundentes que Biden ha lanzado contra el presidente Donald Trump desde que dejó el cargo. Lo pronunció exactamente dos años después de compartir escenario con Trump en un debate presidencial de CNN, un momento que frustró las aspiraciones del entonces presidente demócrata de buscar un segundo mandato y cambió el rumbo de su legado político.\n\n\n“Lo que me enfurece es que Trump quiere entregar el dinero de los contribuyentes, su dinero, a los insurrectos del 6 de enero. Eso es lo que quiere hacer”, dijo Biden al público. “Estas personas no merecen ser indemnizadas. Merecen ir a prisión por muchísimo tiempo”.\n\n\nDesde que dejó la Casa Blanca, Biden ha seguido criticando a Trump y ha aceptado invitaciones para participar en actos del Partido Demócrata en Maryland, Dakota del Sur y su estado natal de Delaware durante el último mes, con el objetivo de movilizar a los demócratas durante el segundo mandato de Trump.\n\n\nSin embargo, lo hace mientras sigue enfrentando una compleja etapa posterior a la presidencia, ya que muchos dentro de su partido continúan molestos por la forma en que manejó la campaña electoral de 2024. Una encuesta reciente de CNN realizada por SSRS reveló que apenas el 30 % de los estadounidenses tiene una opinión favorable de Biden, el nivel más bajo registrado durante todo su paso por la Casa Blanca.\n\n\nEl discurso también coincide con el regreso de su familia a la escena política, algo que ha incomodado a algunos demócratas. La ex primera dama, la doctora Jill Biden, publicó sus memorias e inició una gira de promoción en la que ofreció su versión de lo ocurrido en 2024, una decisión que molestó a muchos dirigentes demócratas porque consideraron que reabría viejas heridas dentro del partido.\n\n\n“Teníamos la obligación de ganar y no lo hicimos”, dijo al New York Post Andrew Bates, exvocero de Biden y uno de sus más firmes defensores. “Pienso en eso todo el tiempo. Pero no entiendo por qué era necesario reabrir públicamente esa dolorosa conversación para el partido en este momento”.\n\n\n“Llámame y dímelo en la cara”, respondió la ex primera dama cuando le preguntaron por ese comentario durante una presentación de su libro en Washington, una reacción que recibió críticas de varios exasesores. (La doctora Biden y Bates hablaron al día siguiente, según una fuente familiarizada con el asunto).\n\n\nEl hijo de los Biden, Hunter, también ha incrementado su presencia pública. Ha reunido una amplia audiencia en redes sociales —más de 800.000 seguidores en X—, donde publica mensajes sobre sus problemas pasados con la adicción a las drogas y reflexiones sobre política. Además, ha concedido largas entrevistas para pódcasts, incluida una conversación de dos horas con la polémica presentadora conservadora Candace Owens.\n\n\nEn una entrevista para el pódcast del gobernador de California, Gavin Newsom, Hunter Biden habló abiertamente sobre cómo cree que será recordada una de las decisiones más controvertidas de su padre.\n\n\n“Me eligió a mí por encima de su legado. Porque, digan lo que digan, esa será una de las primeras cosas que se escribirán sobre él”, afirmó Hunter Biden sobre la decisión de su padre de concederle un indulto, después de haber insistido en que no lo haría.\n\n\nLos intentos por definir el legado de Biden podrían intensificarse en los próximos meses. El expresidente ha dedicado gran parte del año a escribir sus memorias, aunque todavía no se ha anunciado una fecha oficial de publicación.\n\n\nSu biblioteca presidencial también ha avanzado más lentamente que las de sus predecesores. Biden anunció que estará ubicada en Delaware, aunque aún no ha revelado su sede definitiva. Una fuente familiarizada con el proyecto indicó que esos detalles podrían definirse próximamente.\n\n\nSu equipo continúa recaudando fondos para esa iniciativa, aunque se espera que la futura biblioteca sea mucho más modesta que el centro presidencial de US$ 850 millones del expresidente Barack Obama en Chicago, donde Biden participó la semana pasada en la ceremonia de inauguración junto con otros expresidentes.\n\n\nTodo esto ocurre mientras Biden, de 83 años, continúa su tratamiento contra un cáncer de próstata con metástasis en los huesos. Tras recibir el diagnóstico meses después de dejar la Casa Blanca, se ha sometido a radioterapia y terapia hormonal.\n\n\n“Creo que Joe vivirá con cáncer el resto de su vida”, dijo recientemente la doctora Jill Biden en una entrevista con NBC.\n\n\nAunque algunos sectores del Partido Demócrata se muestran pesimistas respecto a su papel, Biden ha seguido buscando formas de apoyar a su partido. En las semanas previas a las elecciones primarias respaldó a dos exfuncionarios de su Gobierno: Keisha Lance Bottoms, candidata a gobernadora de Georgia, y Dan Koh, candidato al Congreso por Massachusetts.\n\n\nDurante el evento de este sábado en Maryland, Biden conversó con el gobernador Wes Moore y con el senador Chris Van Hollen, dos demócratas considerados posibles aspirantes presidenciales para 2028.\n\n\nMoore presentó a Biden en el acto y recordó cómo el expresidente ayudó a destinar millones de dólares al estado para las labores de recuperación tras el colapso del puente Francis Scott Key, en Baltimore, en 2024.\n\n\n“Nos ayudó, no solo a reconstruir, nos ayudó a sanar. Movilizó recursos federales hacia la ciudad para retirar los escombros porque sabía que millones de personas esperaban, necesitaban y contaban con ello”, dijo Moore. “Aunque el presidente Biden no nació en Maryland, nos mostró a todos lo que significa tener la fortaleza de Maryland y la resiliencia de Baltimore”.\n\n\nAdrienne Green, una demócrata de Baltimore, asistió a un encuentro con Biden antes de su discurso. Dijo que estaba emocionada por conocerlo y que cree que el expresidente “está bien para su edad”, aunque también habló de la necesidad de que ambos partidos den paso a una nueva generación de líderes.\n\n\n“Creo que aportan una sabiduría y una experiencia muy valiosas”, afirmó. “También creo que hemos llegado a un momento, tanto en el Partido Demócrata como en el Republicano, en el que es necesario pasar la posta”.\n\n\nLa representante demócrata por Delaware Sarah McBride figura entre las personas con las que Biden mantiene contacto frecuente. Ambos almorzaron juntos la semana pasada en Delaware y hablaron sobre el impacto del presidente Trump en el escenario internacional.\n\n\n“Creo que a los votantes les preocupan el presente y el futuro, y necesitamos un esfuerzo de todos. Eso incluye las voces de personas como Joe Biden, Barack Obama y otros líderes políticos retirados a lo largo de la historia de nuestro partido. Agradezco el liderazgo de Joe”, dijo McBride a CNN en una conversación telefónica este sábado.\n\n\nAnte los demócratas reunidos este sábado por la noche, Biden insistió en que sigue “dando la pelea” por el partido y animó a sus correligionarios en este período fuera del poder.\n\n\n“A todos los que aman a nuestro país, mi mensaje esta noche es claro y sencillo: levántense, carajo. Levántense ahora. ¡Sigan dando esta pelea!”, dijo entre aplausos.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

The pilot also died in the crash.\n\n\nA significant emergency response was mobilized, with police units and 50 firefighters deployed to the scene, according to local authorities.\n\n\nThe deadly incident comes just weeks after a skydiving plane crashed moments after takeoff in western Missouri, killing 12 people and reviving a longstanding debate over the regulation of skydiving planes.\n\n\nIn France, Séguy told BFMTV the plane crashed “almost vertically, right next to a housing development” on the edge of the airfield. “There were many witnesses at the scene of the accident,” including relatives of the victims, he said.\n\n\nNo bystanders were among the casualties, according to Séguy.\n\n\n‘We are awaiting the arrival of the forensic team to conduct the standard investigation,” Séguy said. The local official added that the French interior minister would visit the scene on Sunday.\n\n\n“We stand together with all involved, emergency services and all the elected officials around me,” Séguy added. “Our thoughts are with the victims and with their loved ones.”\n\n\n‘They had all died instantly’\n\n\n\nA witness to the crash, who was driving at the time, told Reuters news agency he saw the plane climbing into the air before suddenly veering to the right. “Something was clearly wrong. By the time I reached the roundabout, circled back and parked near the fire truck, a man was already on the scene trying to put out the flames,” the witness, who did not provide his name, said.\n\n\n“We saw right away that it was over, that they had all died instantly. There was no movement, and it was clear the impact had been too violent for there to be any survivors,” he added.\n\n\nFrench Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot called the crash a “terrible tragedy” with a “particularly high” death toll. He also confirmed on X that he would travel to Meurthe-et-Moselle on Sunday afternoon.\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional details.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The current budget for the mayor and City Council’s administrative and discretionary expenditures is about $2.6 million. Next fiscal year’s projected budget is about $2.9 million – an increase of about 9% largely due to an increase in salaries and benefits, according to a city budget presentation. \n\n\n\nThe mayor and City Council salaries are based on the City Charter, the governing document that outlines the duties and powers of elected officials as well as local laws and rules for how the city is run. The charter can only be changed with voter approval. \n\n\n\nEl Paso City Hall (Cindy Ramirez/El Paso Matters)\n\n\n\nRelated: Bigger budget, bigger costs: City of El Paso leaders begin debate over city spending plan\n\n\n\nHere’s what to know about local elected officials’ salaries and pay raises:\n\n\n\nWhy is there a 15% pay raise for the next fiscal year?\n\n\n\nAbout 57% of El Paso voters in November 2018 approved a charter proposition that changed how salaries for the mayor and City Council members are set. Salaries for city representatives were to align with the El Paso County area median household income as established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, while the mayor’s salary was to be one-and-one-half that amount. \n\n\n\nThat put city representatives’ pay at $45,300 and the annual base salary of the mayor at $67,950 starting in September 2019. \n\n\n\nThe base salaries are revised annually based on that formula for the prior fiscal year median household income regardless of whether the figure increases or decreases.\n\n\n\nIn 2025, the HUD median household income for El Paso County was $72,800 – a calculation somewhat different from Census Bureau figures.\n\n\n\nREAD MORE: Average El Paso homeowner could pay about $105 more in city taxes next year\n\n\n\nWhat were city elected officials paid before the charter amendment election?\n\n\n\nThe annual salary for a city representative was $29,000 and the mayor’s salary was $45,000 prior to 2019.\n\n\n\nDoes the City Council have the authority to change the pay raises they receive?\n\n\n\nNo. But if the City Council wanted to change the way pay raises are calculated, they could vote to place a proposition on a charter amendment election for voters to decide.\n\n\n\nHow often are City Charter amendment elections?\n\n\n\nThe City Council can hold City Charter elections every two years. In February, city Reps. Cynthia Boyar Trejo and Josh Acevedo proposed a charter amendment election to coincide with the November 2026 general election, but the motion failed. City Reps. Alejandra Chávez, Deanna Maldonado-Rocha, Ivan Niño, Art Fierro, Lily Limón and Chris Canales voted against it, saying there was not enough time to vet proposals.\n\n\n\nThe last city charter election was in May 2023. Prior to that election, an effort to hold a charter amendment election in 2020 was put off due to the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\n\n\nDoes the City Council have to keep their pay raises?\n\n\n\nThe pay raises will take effect Sept. 1. Some elected officials opt to donate their salaries such as Mayor Renard Johsnon and former Mayors Dee Margo and Oscar Leeser.\n\n\n\nIs there a difference between how the City Council and El Paso County Commissioners Court set their salaries?\n\n\n\nYes. Salaries for the City Council are determined by the City Charter, where the El Paso County Commissioners Court can vote ahead of the adoption of the annual budget whether to include pay raises for themselves – without having to go to voters.\n\n\n\nWhen did county commissioners last receive a pay raise?\n\n\n\nThe last time the Commissioners Court, made up of four county commissioners and the county judge, voted to give themselves pay raises was for the 2024 fiscal year budget that included a controversial 16% pay raise. The pay for the four commissioners went from about $114,900 to nearly $133,500 a year, while the county judge’s annual salary increased from $131,500 to more than $152,700.\n\n\n\nThe Commissioners Court has not approved pay raises for themselves or other county employees over the last two fiscal years due to budgetary limits.\n\n\n\n\nThe post Why El Paso’s mayor, city representatives are getting a 15% pay raise appeared first on El Paso Matters.","url":"https://elpasomatters.org/2026/06/24/el-paso-city-council-mayor-pay-raises-salaries-hud-median-income/","source":"El Paso Matters","author":"Elida S.

Meanwhile, museums have been hosting “Odyssey”-themed events, while academic-led book clubs focusing on the classic Greek tale have reached capacity.\n\n\nThink of it as Barbenheimer for the Classics Department.\n\n\n“I knew it was going to be big if Christopher Nolan was directing it, and anytime we can get people talking about the things that we’re studying in class, it’s exciting for me as an educator,” said Jennie Luongo, a Latin teacher at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Austin, Texas, who also serves as president of the American Classical League.\n\n\nBased on the ancient epic poem by Homer, the film stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, the king of Ithaca whose 10-year-long journey home after fighting in the Trojan War is marked by numerous encounters with mythical beings.\n\n\nGiven Nolan’s record of creating blockbuster films that dominate the culture, including “Oppenheimer” (2023), “Inception” (2010) and his “Batman” trilogy, Hollywood analysts have been forecasting massive box office returns for “The Odyssey,” with some speculating it is likely to surpass more than $1 billion in sales worldwide.\n\n\nClassics Studies teachers, whose work typically focuses on the history and culture of the ancient Mediterranean basin, are hoping that many moviegoers who see the film will then be inspired to pick up a copy of the original poem or perhaps even sign up for a class. “Clearly, it’s going to have a huge impact and a huge audience,” said Nina Papathanasopoulou, a classics professor at College Year in Athens and the public engagement coordinator for the Society for Classical Studies. “It seems like it could be a really good way to rekindle interest in the ancient world.”\n\n\nAnother sign that the movie is already generating huge buzz, at least in the media? In addition to online debates over the casting, costuming and accents teased in the film’s trailers, Emily Wilson, the classicist whose 2017 translation of The Odyssey Nolan has said he read, is experiencing a huge burst of attention. “With the movie coming out, I am inundated with queries from journalists,” Wilson told CNN.\n\n\nAll this hoopla is not without precedent. After Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator” came out in 2000, the New York Times noted a surge in books being published on the ancient world, a phenomenon it dubbed “the ‘Gladiator’ effect.” The monumental success of that movie, which earned more than $460 million and won five Oscars, including Best Picture, also kickstarted a wave of similar films like “Alexander” (2004), “Troy” (2004), and “300” (2006), as well as TV shows like HBO’s “Rome” (2005-2007). Scholars also reported that the phenomenon increased student intake in the classics.\n\n\nNow, work is underway around the world to ensure Nolan’s latest movie has the same impact. In Los Angeles, for example, staff at the Getty Museum planned an entire day of events at the end of May that was inspired by the film and included lectures, discussions, and a selection of performances from a folk opera adaptation of The Odyssey. In Australia, one prominent book retailer has convened a month of in-person and online lectures themed around the text, which is set to culminate in a screening of Nolan’s film at a Melbourne cinema. And in the UK, regional branches of the Classical Association have been focusing on Homer in their book clubs, with plans also being considered for a film screening for members. “The movie has already attracted new audiences to our charitable work and events and we’re excited for more engagement,” said Katrina Kelly, the association’s engagement director. “We are very much looking forward to seeing Nolan’s take soon!”\n\n\nBetween January and May, staff at the UC Berkeley Arts & Humanities also used the upcoming release of Nolan’s film to advertise an “epic book club for the world’s most epic tale” that featured seven online meetings. Organizers had been expecting a cozy little affair, but were astonished when more than 1,300 people from around the world signed up to participate. In February, UC Berkeley enlisted Kim Shelton, one of its professors of ancient Greek and Roman studies, to provide nine minutes of commentary on the film’s costumes and settings when the trailer for Nolan’s movie was released. And in April, more than 55 students and staff held a “Homerathon” on campus to read the entirety of The Odyssey over a 12-hour period. “I hope there is a surge in interest,” Shelton said. “I am teaching my class on the Trojan War this fall for that exact reason.”\n\n\nFurther north, lovers of ancient literature are also bracing for interest to pique. Robert Weir, the president of the Classical Association of Canada, recalled that after “Gladiator” was released the number of students taking introductory courses in Greek and Roman civilization at the University of Windsor, where he is an associate professor, roughly doubled to 250-300 from just a few years prior. With Nolan’s new film coming out, “there may well be an uptick,” Weir said.\n\n\nBut not everyone is so convinced. Weir’s colleague at the university’s Greek and Roman Studies program, Max Nelson, said while there was “no doubt” that “Gladiator” had brought renewed interest to the classics among students, Scott’s 2024 sequel did not cause any resurgence of interest that he could sense. Still, he noted that “The Odyssey” had already been the subject of much online debate, signalling strong passion among devotees of ancient culture. “My prediction is that the movie will not bring a large number of new students to our courses, but it will raise many questions among the curious,” Nelson said. He plans to include Nolan’s movie in upcoming iterations of his course, The Ancient World on Screen. “It will be a useful reference point for in-class discussions of various issues dealing with interpretation and reception of ancient epic poetry,” Nelson said.\n\n\nPapathanasopoulou with the Society for Classical Studies said her organization is already planning to invite the public to a round table of experts discussing the film when they meet for their upcoming annual conference in Boston in January.\n\n\nPapathanasopoulou said many of her past students have credited popular works inspired by the classics, including the Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief books and movies as well as the Hades video game franchise, for opening their minds to a field that may at first seem elitist. She sees “The Odyssey” movie as a similar opportunity. “I think a lot of us have realized that if we want to keep our field alive, we have to really engage right with contemporary voices, to really engage with artists,” Papathanasopoulou said.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Here’s why Philadelphia vows to keep fighting back","excerpt":"By Danny Freeman, CNN\n\n\nPhiladelphia (CNN) — Just days away from America’s 250th birthday — and steps away from where the country itself was born — visitors to the City of Brotherly Love are met with an unusual sight: an incomplete national park.\n\n\n“It’s a living historical moment,” said Mijuel J...","content":"By Danny Freeman, CNN\n\n\nPhiladelphia (CNN) — Just days away from America’s 250th birthday — and steps away from where the country itself was born — visitors to the City of Brotherly Love are met with an unusual sight: an incomplete national park.\n\n\n“It’s a living historical moment,” said Mijuel Johnson, a local guide with a group called The Black Journey, who spends much of his working days giving tours around Philadelphia’s historic district.\n\n\nRight next to some of the most recognizable landmarks in the United States — including where the Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence — a months-long legal battle between the City of Philadelphia and the Trump administration over an exhibit on slavery has paralyzed a portion of Independence National Historic Park.\n\n\nThe fight is just one part of the Trump administration’s ongoing campaign to purge cultural institutions of materials that conflict with the president’s political directives, supported by an executive order “restoring truth and sanity” to American history.\n\n\nBut in this case, the result has been physical missing pieces, a legal entanglement spanning multiple courts and parties, and a city galvanized to keep the history of slavery alive.\n\n\nHowever, it’s unclear if the site will be restored, removed or replaced anytime soon. The next move is up to the federal government.\n\n\n“Hopefully when all of this is put back up, we might be able to add something talking about this part of the history of the memorial,” Johnson told CNN, referring to the battle over the exhibit, as tourists passed through the site.\n\n\nThe conflict itself over how to represent slavery, Johnson argued, should eventually be memorialized too.\n\n\nThe past\n\n\n\nThe dispute surrounds the President’s House, a perhaps lesser-known open-air part of the Philadelphia national park, which includes the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. Presidents George Washington and John Adams lived at the house.\n\n\nFor more than a decade, the President’s House has honored the lives of nine men and women enslaved by George Washington in one of the homes he resided in while president. The exhibit, which was created as a collaboration between the City of Philadelphia and the National Park Service, also featured a historical timeline of American slavery.\n\n\nBut as part of President Donald Trump’s “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History” executive order and his administration’s nationwide effort to remove content in cultural institutions that “inappropriately disparage Americans past or living,” the Department of Interior targeted the site for change.\n\n\nIn January, video from CNN affiliate WPVI showed work crews dismantling large display panels at the site with crowbars.\n\n\nThe City of Philadelphia sued to stop the federal government from changing the exhibit and initially won in court.\n\n\n“…this Court is now asked to determine whether the federal government has the power it claims — to dissemble and disassemble historical truths when it has some domain over historical facts,” wrote US District Court Judge Cynthia Rufe in a February opinion.\n\n\n“It does not,” stated Rufe.\n\n\nThe original exhibits started to go back up.\n\n\nBut the Trump administration appealed, and the restoration stopped. The Department of Interior later proposed its own new exhibit focusing less on slavery than the original exhibit.\n\n\nOn June 18, a panel of three judges unanimously sided with the DOI, reversing a ruling the city won in February.\n\n\nThe Third Circuit Court of Appeals judges ruled not only did the City of Philadelphia no longer have ownership over the President’s House site, but it also concluded the Trump administration’s revised exhibit was “full of historical context.”\n\n\n“(The new panels) acknowledge the evil of slavery, including its injustices and hypocrisies, and, by telling the story of the nine slaves that Washington kept in the President’s House, remind us of their essential humanity,” read the opinion authored by Thomas Hardiman, a George W. Bush appointed judge.\n\n\nJohnson, the local guide, looked down and held back a laugh when CNN read aloud the language of the opinion, which came down the day before Juneteenth.\n\n\nSince the government released their proposed panels in April, advocates for the old exhibit have argued the new panels whitewash the horrors of slavery, while softening George Washington’s views on it.\n\n\nFor example, one of the original panels noted that at his Virginia plantation, President Washington “oversaw more than 300 enslaved people, nine of whom served in his Philadelphia household.”\n\n\nOne of the new replacement panels on the subject does not share the number of slaves Washington owned and instead reads in part: “privately, George Washington often expressed discomfort with the institution and a desire to see it abolished.”\n\n\n“Yet as a Virginia plantation owner, his wealth and livelihood were deeply tied to it.”\n\n\nAn analysis from the Philadelphia Inquirer also notes, “most of the new panels do not acknowledge the people Washington enslaved.”\n\n\n“Regardless of what the new panels say,” Johnson said, “they’re not the original panels that were made for this site. And they’re not necessary.”\n\n\nThe present\n\n\n\nThe ruling came as a gut punch to the city, some say, as many believed the matter was over.\n\n\nPhiladelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker pledged on X to “pursue every legal action possible” to reverse the decision.\n\n\nPennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro wrote he would “stand up to anyone who tries to whitewash some of the most important chapters of our shared history.”\n\n\nCivil rights activist and attorney Michael Coard was not surprised.\n\n\n“Every single advance that Black people have gotten in this country since the birth of American slavery in 1619 came with struggle,” argued Coard, who leads the Avenging the Ancestors Coalition, which helped create the President’s House site more than 15 years ago.\n\n\n“Even though I wasn’t surprised, I was prepared,” Coard said.\n\n\nWhile Coard would not say what specific actions his group would take next, as they are a party in the case, he and others noted the story isn’t over.\n\n\nThe City of Philadelphia could request the full Third Circuit Court of Appeals to hear the case or even appeal to the Supreme Court. Coard also noted his group could file a new separate complaint.\n\n\nWhen asked about potential next steps this week, the city had no official comment beyond the mayor’s original X statement.\n\n\nBut some in the city are waiting to see how a separate court battle in Boston over changes to multiple national parks, including the President’s House, plays out for answers.\n\n\nCNN reached out to the White House and the Department of Interior to ask if changes at the Philadelphia national park are planned before the Fourth of July, when visitors from all over the globe are expected to visit the city for 250th celebrations and the World Cup.\n\n\nThe White House deferred CNN’s questions to the Department of Justice. Neither the DOJ or the DOI have responded.\n\n\nAnd for now the President’s House remains conspicuously incomplete.\n\n\nThe future\n\n\n\nA week after the appeals court ruling, a group of local volunteers spoke with tourists as they passed through the President’s House.\n\n\nThe amateur docents were eagerly sharing binders with the text of the original missing panels and reading them out loud.\n\n\n“I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but I am,” said Coard, “I have to thank President Trump.”\n\n\nBecause of the controversy, Coard argued, the lesser-known slavery exhibit had received “more PR and street cred than we could have ever paid for.”\n\n\nAnd area residents are also there to learn from the exhibit.\n\n\n“We have our friends here literally from the neighborhood. They’re just over here reading (the text of the removed panels),” Johnson said.\n\n\n“That’s not a solution at all — everything needs to be put back — but that shows how much people in Philly actually care about the history,” said the professional tour guide.\n\n\nPatricia Jones, a Philadelphia native and local high school history teacher, heard about the President’s House battle and wanted to see the site for herself.\n\n\n“I think no matter what people are going to research and want to know (the history of slavery at the site),” Jones told CNN.\n\n\n“There’s always going to be someone that can tell the history and the true story no matter what,” she said as she flipped through a binder of the original text of the exhibit.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Diana DeGette for the solidly blue seat in Denver, where she and her allies hope voters are also ready for change.\n\n\n“I think voters have realized that the party and leadership are failing to meet this moment in a meaningful way, and it’s time for leaders who are actually going to be fighting for the interests of working people,” Kiros told CNN.\n\n\nBut as an emboldened left flank looks to Tuesday’s primaries, seeking to build on momentum after all of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s US House endorsements won their races, some warn that Denver isn’t New York City.\n\n\nTed Trimpa, a longtime Democratic strategist who helped build up Colorado’s Democratic infrastructure, warned his party against reading too much into last week’s results.\n\n\n“Mamdani is not the messiah for Democrats,” Trimpa said. “And if Democrats think that he is, then they’re wandering around the wrong desert.”\n\n\nRoughly half of the state’s voters are unaffiliated. And while Democrats hold both Senate seats and the governorship, the state has tended to elect more moderate candidates who have been willing to buck the party.\n\n\nThat willingness to at times demonstrate an independent streak, however, is increasingly coming under fire. Gov. Jared Polis was censured by the state Democratic Party last month for granting clemency to election denier Tina Peters. And the state’s two senators, one running for reelection and the other for governor, are facing blowback over their past votes for members of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet.\n\n\nProgressive momentum\n\n\n\nWithin hours of Assemblymember Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier’s projected wins in their New York primary races, fellow candidates backed by Justice Democrats took to their group chat to discuss how they could boost Kiros through fundraising, phone banking, or campaigning with her.\n\n\n“Every race this cycle has added more and more momentum to the next,” said Usamah Andrabi, a spokesperson for the group, which backs progressive candidates who oppose corporate PACs. “What we’ve been really proud of as well is how much every candidate of ours who wins goes on and tries to pay it forward to the next.”\n\n\nDeGette has faced primary challenges in the past, but Democratic strategists in the state say this is likely to be the incumbent’s toughest race in years.\n\n\nThis spring, both DeGette and Kiros sought to get on the ballot through the party-run caucus and assembly process, in which candidates need to win the support of 30% of party activists to get their name on the primary ballot. After DeGette only narrowly qualified, and was outperformed by Kiros, she ramped up her campaigning.\n\n\n“I think this is probably the strongest challenge that she’s ever faced, but I also think she’s taking it as seriously as it needs to be,” said one longtime Colorado Democratic strategist granted anonymity to speak candidly. “I wouldn’t be shocked if either outcome happens.”\n\n\nA third candidate in the race, University of Colorado Regent Wanda James, qualified for the ballot by collecting voter signatures.\n\n\nThe 1st District primary has covered familiar territory, as the candidates have squared off over who’s best suited to fight the Trump administration.\n\n\n“I’ve won contested primaries before, and I’m confident about this one,” DeGette said in a statement to CNN. “I’m running hard and talking to voters every day about what matters to families here, not national narratives playing out in other states.”\n\n\nThe race has also centered on Kiros’ vocal criticism of US relations with Israel. The first-time candidate was fired from a law firm in 2023, after she refused to take down an open letter arguing that student protesters’ calls for the elimination of Israel should not be conflated with antisemitism.\n\n\nBut some of her comments on US-Israel policy have drawn scrutiny. She recently faced criticism for declining to describe as antisemitism a firebomb attack on protesters showing support for Israeli hostages held by Hamas. One person was killed and another dozen were injured in an attack, which investigators say the perpetrator planned for a year, telling the police he was driven by a desire “to kill all Zionist people.”\n\n\n“I don’t know what was in the heart of the perpetrator,” Kiros said in an interview with 9News. “All I know is that he went and attacked innocent people because of what they might have believed.”\n\n\nKiros, who received a late endorsement from Sen. Bernie Sanders earlier this month, has criticized DeGette for accepting donations from corporate PACs. The incumbent has defended her progressive bona fides, pointing to her work as an impeachment manager as evidence of her record fighting Trump.\n\n\n“Now is not the time to gamble and send somebody with no experience to Washington,” DeGette, who has spent nearly three decades representing Colorado’s most liberal district, argued at a candidate forum earlier this month.\n\n\nIn the final days of the election, a flood of money has poured into the race to boost DeGette, including more than $1.5 million from Pro-Choice Majority Action.\n\n\nThe groups have aired positive ads calling DeGette “the strongest voice fighting Trump” and an advocate for Medicare for All and defunding Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They’ve also attacked Kiros. One ad from Mile High Accountability Project, a super PAC that was registered on April 29, called Kiros a recent Denver resident and accused her of wanting to divide Democrats. The ad says her supporters want to defund the police, abolish the Senate and withdraw from NATO.\n\n\n“Donald Trump loves Democrats like Kiros,” the ad says. “Enough attacks on Democrats. Enough division.”\n\n\nKiros, whose family immigrated to Denver from Ethiopia when she was a baby, called the criticism that she just moved to the state “disrespectful,” and said other attacks were misrepresenting her record.\n\n\n“It’s reading as obviously desperate to a lot of our voters,” she said. “It’s reading as Republican-esque, frankly, as well, and isn’t actually speaking to the things that Denverites really care about, which is how you’re going to make the city affordable for them.”\n\n\nAn anti-establishment push?\n\n\n\nKiros’ campaign comes alongside several other candidates testing voters’ appetites for change in Colorado this week.\n\n\n“I think everybody’s nervous,” said Alvina Vasquez, a Colorado-based Democratic strategist. “I don’t think anybody feels super confident.”\n\n\nIn the US Senate race, progressive state Sen. Julie Gonzales is challenging incumbent Sen. John Hickenlooper, a longtime fixture of Colorado politics who governed the state before heading to Washington.\n\n\n“John Hickenlooper has been in office for over 20 years,” she said in a campaign ad. “I know that we’re not fooled by his so-called common-sense approach, because there is no sense in voting for Donald Trump’s nominees.”\n\n\nHickenlooper voted for several Trump Cabinet nominees, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, and Energy Secretary Chris Wright. But a spokesperson for the senator noted in a statement that he opposed several other nominees, including former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.\n\n\n“Hickenlooper has said that knowing what he knows now — that not a single one of the cabinet officials stood up to Trump’s lawlessness and corruption — he wouldn’t support any of them,” the statement said.\n\n\nIn the Democratic gubernatorial primary to succeed Polis, who is term-limited, Sen. Michael Bennet’s path to the nomination has been complicated by Attorney General Phil Weiser. Weiser has contrasted the senator’s votes to confirm Trump’s nominees with his own work suing the Trump administration.\n\n\nHe’s also framed himself as the outsider in the race, and argued Bennet should stick to his current role.\n\n\n“Michael Bennet’s got 18 years of experience in Washington,” Weiser said in a recent interview with a local Fox News affiliate. “We need to keep him there.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Her apartment in the Venezuelan capital was destroyed in Wednesday’s 7.2- and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes that came within seconds of each other. But she says she is among the more fortunate — she and her relatives survived.\n\n\n“I think we have to learn from everything we’re going through. That life is fleeting — just a moment. We have to thank God, the Virgin Mary, whatever we have faith in, for the fact that we’re alive, and we need to be more human, more cooperative, more humble.”\n\n\nThe quakes have hit the rich and the poor, millions of people, especially in the north of the country. Acting President Delcy Rodríguez told Venezuelans they were not alone. But decades of economic mismanagement have made it harder for the government to respond to the natural disaster on top of the long-running humanitarian crisis.\n\n\nResidents have turned to taking essential supplies from stores in the port city of La Guaira, among the worst-hit areas.\n\n\nFood and clean water have become scarce in the city, which is only about 20 miles from the capital but is largely isolated now because of collapsed roadways and damaged bridges.\n\n\n“It’s been us, the families, trying to dig through debris to find our relatives,” said Mileidy Duque, 43. “My 82-year-old mother, my brother, my daughter and her boyfriend are still missing.”\n\n\nHer family lived on the second floor of the Luisa Caceres de Arismendi building, government housing that was inaugurated by ousted President Nicolás Maduro in 2015.\n\n\n“This situation is so sad, not just for me, but for all of Venezuela. I have no words to explain how it feels to fear that your family is trapped in there,” Duque told CNN. “I feel like my hands are tied, it’s very difficult.”\n\n\nLindomar Milla’s sister and brother-in-law are among the known dead from the Playa Los Cocos neighborhood in La Guaira.\n\n\n“I’m heartbroken, but I thank God that I know where they are,” Milla told CNN, sitting outside the morgue in Caracas where their remains had been taken. “There are families from all over the country who still don’t know if their relatives are dead or alive. It’s so painful.”\n\n\nMany in La Guaira remember a previous tragedy, when the city was hit by massive landslides after torrential rain in December 1999. An official death toll was never published, but researchers at the Central University of Venezuela estimated nearly 15,000 people died.\n\n\n“This was much worse than the mudslides,” Milla said. “So many people are still looking for their loved ones. There are people who traveled to La Guaira and found buildings that no longer exist.”\n\n\nA fog of grief and tension\n\n\n\nHundreds of aftershocks have rattled buildings and nerves, as the seconds ticked away in the so-called 72-hour golden window, when it is most likely to find victims alive in the rubble.\n\n\nCheers ring out when survivors are rescued – moments of relief, even joy, and an emotional release from the grief and tension that feel palpable in the streets.\n\n\nBut so many are still missing. As days pass and the tropical heat hits impacted areas, many have resorted to wearing face masks to shield themselves from the smell of death and decay.\n\n\n“I have been feeling so much pain and uncertainty,” said Susana Henríquez, standing behind yellow tape keeping her and others from what is left of the Petunia residential complex in the upper-middle-class Palos Grandes neighborhood of the capital. Two towers had risen from tree-lined roads behind gates that secured the community. Henríquez escaped from her home in Petunia II. The other tower collapsed.\n\n\n“We want to trust that our neighbors in the Petunia I will be rescued alive,” Henríquez told CNN.\n\n\nShe’s a reminder of the humanity and the full lives of all those trapped and missing. More than numbers, they are friends and relatives whose names are known. “I have so many friends there,” Henríquez said, fighting back tears.\n\n\n‘Inspiring’ displays of altruism\n\n\n\nMany families here are used to living with little. Food costs more than most can earn, even working multiple jobs, and economic crisis combined with a repressive government has driven millions of Venezuelans to seek better lives, in neighboring Colombia or further afield like in the United States, sending money back when then can.\n\n\nNow Venezuelans are coming together to gather water, medicine, food and clothes for those affected by the quakes.\n\n\nMariana Sanchez, a 20-year-old student, was walking through Caracas with a bag of supplies for anyone in need.\n\n\n“A group of us friends decided to get together and begin collecting food and other materials to bring to people who have been impacted. I’ve seen several other university groups coming together like this,” she said. “People are very appreciative. It’s in times like these when Venezuelans come together and help lift each other up, it’s very inspiring.”\n\n\nCollection sites have also been set up in cities with large Venezuelan populations, like Miami, New York and Madrid.\n\n\n“No matter how many years pass since I left Venezuela, I will always feel it when the country is hurting,” Miami resident Marcos Mirabal told CNN at a donation drive. “I brought diapers, flashlights, clothes. My daughters have so much clothing and there are so many children in the country who are suffering right now.”\n\n\nSome of those not consumed by simply surviving are asking if the response could have been quicker if Venezuela had stronger emergency services with better equipment, or had invested more in hardening its infrastructure against a known risk.\n\n\n“It’s unbelievable that this is 2026 and this country is still operating this way,” Gustavo Quintero told CNN. “We’re having to find the names of our loved ones on hand-written sheets of paper; firefighters don’t have the necessary resources to help people. There aren’t the minimum logistics.”\n\n\nVenezuela has been troubled for decades but for people like 18-year-old law student Miguel Martínez, the focus right now is on the immediate question of whether his classmate can be brought out alive. Maybe then, a better future will come into focus.\n\n\n“We never give up,” Martínez told CNN. “We’ve already been through so much and when things get tough all we can do is lift each other up.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Él le dijo que había encontrado un trabajo como cocinero para el Ejército ruso anunciado en las redes sociales, asegurándole que estaría lejos de la guerra en Ucrania, ganaría buen dinero e incluso tendría la oportunidad de obtener la ciudadanía rusa.\n\n\nNorma sospechó de inmediato. Su hijo, de 31 años, nunca había salido de Perú antes y ni siquiera había sostenido un arma. (CNN no publica el nombre completo de Norma ni el de su hijo para protegerlos de represalias).\n\n\n“Quería encerrarlo en la casa, pero él ya había tomado una decisión”, dijo Norma a CNN. Incluso consideró llamar a la Policía. “Él me dijo: ‘Mamá, por favor, entiende, solo voy como cocinero’. Pero el corazón de una madre sabe, si no, no me habría sentido tan ansiosa”.\n\n\nCuando lo dejó en el aeropuerto, Norma vio que había otros esperando para volar a Rusia también. Intentó interrogarlos, pero se negaron a hablar con ella.\n\n\n“Mi hijo me pidió que no lo avergonzara, que tenía que creer en él, que solo iba a trabajar como cocinero”, dijo ella. “Me dejó con el corazón roto. Algo me decía que había algo mal. Me despedí, y esa fue la última vez que lo vi”.\n\n\nSus instintos eran correctos. Pronto, Norma recibió videos de su hijo que mostraban la verdadera naturaleza del trabajo. Él se había unido a las filas de cientos de hombres peruanos que, supuestamente, fueron atraídos a las fuerzas armadas rusas por reclutadores locales y anuncios en redes sociales con promesas de empleo lucrativo en Rusia, solo para encontrarse luchando en las líneas del frente de la guerra en Ucrania.\n\n\nPoco después de que el hijo de Norma se uniera, le envió a su madre imágenes de sí mismo con equipo de combate, cavando trincheras y construyendo refugios de madera de pino con otros combatientes extranjeros en un bosque ucraniano, videos que ella compartió con CNN.\n\n\nEn las llamadas esporádicas que Norma tenía con su hijo y en los mensajes de video que él enviaba, podía escuchar drones explotando de fondo, aunque él le aseguraba que estaban lejos.\n\n\nLos videos pronto dejaron de llegar a principios de abril, cuando el hijo de Norma dijo que estaba siendo “castigado” por un comandante debido a un mal comportamiento.\n\n\n“Le dije ‘Eso es mentira, vas a pelear en la línea del frente’”, recordó ella. “Él me dijo que me calmara. Y desde ese día no he vuelto a saber de él”.\n\n\n“Tengo esta luz de esperanza de que está en algún lugar, escondido en una trinchera, pero realmente no lo sé”.\n\n\nA medida que la guerra de Rusia en Ucrania se prolonga, las fuerzas armadas rusas han hecho grandes esfuerzos para aumentar sus filas, incluso reclutando combatientes extranjeros de países en desarrollo con promesas de altos salarios y bonificaciones.\n\n\nEn febrero, CNN informó que numerosos hombres de países africanos habían sido obligados a prestar servicio militar en Rusia después de que se les ofrecieran trabajos civiles bien remunerados como conductores o guardias de seguridad. Una decena de hombres que hablaron con CNN dijeron que, poco después de llegar a Rusia, se vieron obligados a firmar contratos en ruso, recibieron una formación mínima y fueron enviados al combate.\n\n\nVarios países han protestado por el reclutamiento ruso. El ministro de Asuntos Exteriores de Kenya viajó a Moscú en marzo para exigir que Rusia dejara de reclutar kenyanos, describiendo la red que lleva ciudadanos kenyanos a Rusia como una red de trata de personas. La Embajada de Rusia en Nairobi calificó las acusaciones de “peligrosas y engañosas” en una declaración a Deutsche Welle.\n\n\nDespués de que miles de ciudadanos nepalíes se ofrecieran como voluntarios para luchar por Rusia, Nepal prohibió cualquier viaje a Ucrania o Rusia por motivos de trabajo.\n\n\nLas historias de los reclutas peruanos y sus familias son similares. CNN habló con 12 familias que han estado protestando durante semanas frente a la Embajada de Rusia en Lima y el Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de Perú, esperando respuestas sobre el paradero de sus familiares.\n\n\nMuchos de los hombres provienen de entornos empobrecidos y saben poco sobre lo que podría esperarles en Rusia.\n\n\nPedro Bravo, director de Comunidades Peruanas en el Exterior del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de Perú, dijo a CNN que muchos reclutas “tienen recursos limitados y están en urgente necesidad” de fondos. “No tienen una comprensión muy clara de la realidad internacional”, dijo Bravo. “Es mucho más fácil engañarlos”.\n\n\nRosa, una madre de tres hijos que pidió a CNN no usar su apellido, dijo que su esposo de 48 años viajó a Rusia junto con varios otros peruanos, con la esperanza de conseguir trabajo como guardia de seguridad. Él había trabajado como guardia de prisión en Lima, pero Rosa dijo que su esposo no tenía experiencia militar antes de inscribirse a través de un reclutador local en Perú.\n\n\nCNN vio y revisó mensajes de WhatsApp entre el esposo de Rosa y un reclutador de habla hispana, apodado “Vizio”. Los mensajes muestran que él aceptó “alistarse en el Ejército de la Federación Rusa” por un contrato de un año. El reclutador, quien se negó a ser entrevistado y rechazó dar a CNN su nombre real cuando lo contactamos, le dijo al esposo de Rosa que tendría seguro de salud y de vida y que sería repatriado a Perú si resultaba herido.\n\n\nRosa insiste en que su esposo no sabía que sería enviado a la guerra.\n\n\n“Nunca le dijeron que iba a ir a la guerra, que iba a tener que sacrificar su vida, que no le iban a pagar. No habría ido allí”, dijo a CNN en una entrevista telefónica.\n\n\nDespués de viajar a Rusia, los mensajes que el esposo de Rosa enviaba a casa sonaban tranquilizadores. Pero pronto se volvieron fragmentados, y a menudo borraba los mensajes momentos después de enviarlos.\n\n\n“Me dijo: ‘Creo que nos han traído a la guerra. Esto es un infierno’”, contó Rosa. Otros mensajes describían hambre, duros entrenamientos militares, ataques constantes de drones y reclutas castigados por no entender las órdenes en ruso.\n\n\nEl 26 de marzo, le dijo a Rosa que lo trasladarían de nuevo y le ordenaron recoger sus armas y pertenencias. “Me dijo: ‘Los amo mucho a todos. Siempre estarán en mi corazón’”, recordó Rosa.\n\n\nNo ha recibido ningún mensaje de él desde entonces. Varios de sus compañeros le han dicho a Rosa que murió en un ataque de dron, pero ella sigue convencida de que sigue vivo. “Los llevaron allí como carne de cañón, como si sus vidas no valieran nada”, dijo Rosa, llorando. “Tengo tres hijos que lloran día y noche por su padre”.\n\n\nCNN se ha puesto en contacto con el Ministerio de Defensa ruso para solicitar comentarios.\n\n\nEl tema ha llamado la atención del Gobierno, y la Fiscalía de Perú anunció el mes pasado que el Gobierno está investigando el reclutamiento ruso, al que describió como “trata de personas”.\n\n\nPercy Salinas, un abogado que representa a algunas familias de los reclutas, entregó a CNN una copia de una orden fiscal que describe el alcance del caso judicial.\n\n\nLas autoridades están investigando 36 denuncias de ciudadanos peruanos que afirman que sus familiares o amigos fueron engañados “mediante ofertas de trabajo falsas en el extranjero —específicamente en la Federación Rusa— con el propósito de transportarlos fuera del país y someterlos a… participación forzada en un conflicto armado entre Rusia y Ucrania”, según la orden.\n\n\nLa fiscalía declinó hacer comentarios sobre el caso cuando fue contactada por CNN.\n\n\nBravo, del ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, dijo a CNN que el Gobierno peruano ha realizado al menos 247 solicitudes separadas a Moscú para obtener información sobre peruanos en las fuerzas armadas rusas y ha exigido “el regreso inmediato y seguro de nuestros compatriotas a su país de origen, dado que salieron sin la debida autorización”.\n\n\nRusia ha dicho que “respeta profundamente la decisión de ciudadanos extranjeros de participar en la defensa de la soberanía y seguridad (rusas)”.\n\n\n“La embajada reafirma su permanente disposición a tomar todas las medidas necesarias para obtener información lo más rápido posible en base a solicitudes presentadas formalmente”, dijo la Embajada de Rusia en Lima en un comunicado de abril sobre las “preocupaciones de las familias peruanas”.\n\n\nSalinas, un abogado que representa a las familias de los reclutas, estima que actualmente hay al menos 800 peruanos luchando por Rusia, muchos de los cuales se inscribieron con la promesa de altos salarios.\n\n\n“La razón definitiva por la que muchas familias tomaron la decisión, y los hombres viajaron a Rusia, fue una razón económica”, dijo Salinas a CNN. “Un bono de US$ 20.000 una vez que firmabas el contrato y salarios muy llamativos de US$ 3.000 o US$ 4.000”.\n\n\nLa mayoría nunca recibe el dinero prometido, dijo el abogado. Numerosos familiares dijeron a CNN que sus parientes en el Ejército ruso no pudieron enviarles dinero, incluso después de haber comenzado a recibir un sueldo.\n\n\nSalinas admitió que existe un elemento de “responsabilidad personal” para los hombres que han firmado contratos con el Ejército, pero insistió en que la mayoría de los peruanos que luchan por Rusia fueron “atraídos mediante engaños”.\n\n\n“Esto cae en la categoría de trata de personas, y esto es un tema de derechos humanos”, dijo Salinas. “Porque los peruanos fueron atraídos aquí bajo falsas promesas para realizar un trabajo, y esto podría eventualmente llevarlos a la muerte”.\n\n\nUn soldado peruano que actualmente se encuentra en la Ucrania ocupada por Rusia contó una historia similar a CNN.\n\n\n“Tomé la decisión de venir aquí por el trabajo que me ofrecían; era mejor pagado que lo que se gana en Perú, y me dijeron que iba a trabajar como guardia de seguridad en Moscú”, dijo Guillermo, un veterano del Ejército peruano de 28 años de Lima. CNN ha cambiado su nombre para protegerlo de represalias. “He estado enlistado durante tres meses y medio, y sinceramente quiero regresar a Perú”.\n\n\nGuillermo le contó a CNN que él y un amigo fueron reclutados por Pocho Wilson Pinto Peña, un oficial de reserva de las fuerzas armadas peruanas. Al llegar a Rusia, Guillermo dijo que sus nuevos superiores le confiscaron el teléfono y lo “obligaron prácticamente” a firmar un contrato en ruso que no le permitieron traducir.\n\n\nCNN revisó una copia del contrato, así como varios otros proporcionados por las familias de los reclutas. Todos eran contratos estándar de un año con las fuerzas armadas rusas, similares a los que firman reclutas extranjeros de otros países. (El nombre de Pinto no aparece en ninguno de los contratos que CNN revisó).\n\n\nPinto le dijo a CNN que no había reclutado a hombres peruanos para la guerra de Rusia, sino que simplemente había entregado un número de teléfono de otro reclutador peruano en Rusia, cuyo nombre se negó a revelar. Dijo que los hombres que se unieron sabían exactamente a dónde iban, o al menos deberían haberlo sabido.\n\n\nEl reclutador “me dijo que solo necesitaba personal, no para qué exactamente”, dijo Pinto. “Pero el país está en guerra, así que lógicamente, como militar, yo sabría a dónde me están llevando”.\n\n\nPinto dijo que había advertido a los hombres a los que conectó con el reclutador de que podrían ser enviados al frente y les dio consejos, como “si viene un dron, debes agacharte”.\n\n\n“Me pone muy triste que tal vez les hayan mentido otras personas”, añadió Pinto. Dijo que incluso había acompañado a una familia angustiada a la embajada rusa en Lima para preguntar por sus familiares. Pinto está al tanto de la investigación fiscal sobre el reclutamiento en Perú, que menciona a un reclutador llamado “Pocho”, y considera “absurda” la acusación de trata de personas.\n\n\n“No estoy involucrado en ninguna trata de personas, soy un hombre honesto”, dijo Pinto. “Soy totalmente claro y honesto, nunca he estado involucrado en nada”.\n\n\nDesde la Ucrania ocupada, Guillermo dijo a CNN que su vida es sombría. El amigo con el que se había unido fue muerto en combate el mes anterior.\n\n\n“Estoy completamente abandonado”, dijo Guillermo. “No tengo comida, ni medicinas, fui herido en un ataque con dron y tengo la rótula rota”.\n\n\n“Mi rutina diaria es cargar cajas de comida fría u otro tipo de cajas”, continuó. “Hago todo esto con la ayuda de un bastón. Cuando hago ese tipo de trabajo por la noche, no puedo dormir porque la rodilla se me hincha demasiado y me duele. Todo lo que quiero es volver a casa”.\n\n\nGuillermo dijo que había intentado obtener ayuda de la embajada peruana, pero le dijeron que “no podían ayudarlo”: había firmado un contrato.\n\n\nBravo, el director de la diáspora en el ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, dijo a CNN que las manos del Gobierno peruano están atadas. “¿Qué hago cuando la persona que dice tener una lesión en la rodilla está en la línea de frente? No puedo ir a la línea de frente a sacarlo”, dijo Bravo. “Esa posibilidad simplemente no existe”.\n\n\nUna vez que los soldados peruanos firman sus contratos, agregó Bravo, “la situación se vuelve muy difícil cuando se trata de localizarlos”.\n\n\nGuillermo sabe todo esto. Es dolorosamente consciente de que su situación parece desesperada. “Saldré de aquí muerto en combate o simplemente muerto”, dijo Guillermo. “No tengo salida”.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

What a loser,” Biden told attendees of the gala, which was held at a Maryland casino.\n\n\n“The reflecting pool reflects something even worse than the narcissism and incompetence at the core of this administration,” he continued. “It’s the corruption, the corruption, the brazen, blatant corruption. Corruption on a scale never seen before in American history in any administration.”\n\n\nBiden’s 10-minute speech amounted to one of his most pointed critiques of President Donald Trump since leaving office. He delivered it exactly two years after he stood on a different stage for a CNN presidential debate against Trump, a moment that derailed the Democratic president’s second-term aspirations and shifted the course of his political legacy.\n\n\n“What makes me angry is that Trump wants to give taxpayers’ money, your money, to the January 6th insurrectionists. That’s what he wants to do,” Biden told the crowd. “These people don’t deserve to be compensated. They deserve to be put in jail for a long, long, long time.”\n\n\nSince leaving the White House, Biden has not shied away from criticizing Trump, accepting invites to party events in Maryland, South Dakota and his home state of Delaware in the past month to try to rally Democrats during Trump’s second term.\n\n\nBut it comes as he continues to navigate a complicated post-presidency as many in his party remain frustrated with his handling of the 2024 election. A recent CNN poll conducted by SSRS found only 30% of the American public held a favorable view of Biden – lower than at any point during his time in the White House.\n\n\nThe latest speech also coincides with his family’s reemergence on the political scene to the chagrin of some Democrats. Former first lady Dr. Jill Biden released her memoir and embarked on a promotional tour, offering her own take on the 2024 saga, which aggravated many Democrats who felt it was reopening old party wounds.\n\n\n“We had a duty to win and we didn’t,” Andrew Bates, a former spokesperson for Biden who was among his fiercest defenders, told the New York Post. “I think about that all the time. But I don’t see why that painful conversation for the party needed to be publicly reopened right now.”\n\n\n“Call me up, and say it to my face,” the former first lady clapped back when asked about the comment at a book tour stop in Washington, D.C., a response that drew criticism from many former aides. (Dr. Biden and Bates spoke the next day, a source familiar with the matter said.)\n\n\nThe Bidens’ son, Hunter, seems to be everywhere and talking about everything. He’s drawn a large following on social media – more than 800,000 followers on X – where he’s fired off a steady stream of posts on his past struggles with drug addiction and musings about politics. He’s sat for lengthy podcast interviews, including a two-hour sit-down with the controversial right-wing podcaster Candace Owens.\n\n\nIn an interview on California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s podcast, Hunter Biden spoke openly about how one of his father’s most controversial decisions will be remembered.\n\n\n“He chose me over his legacy. Because no matter what you say that’s going to be one of the first things that is written about him,” Hunter Biden said of his father’s decision to pardon him after insisting he would not do so.\n\n\nAttempts to shape Biden’s legacy could come into sharper focus in the coming months. The former president has spent much of the year working on his memoir, though an official release date has yet to be announced.\n\n\nHis presidential library has gotten off to a slower start than his predecessors’. Biden announced it would be housed in Delaware but has yet to unveil an official location. A source familiar with the situation said those details could be finalized in the near future.\n\n\nHis team continues to fundraise for that operation, but the eventual library is expected to be much smaller in scale than former President Barack Obama’s $850 million presidential center in Chicago where Biden joined other presidents to attend the opening ceremony last week.\n\n\nAll of this has played out as the 83-year-old continues to battle prostate cancer that has metastasized to the bones, undergoing radiation and hormone therapy after receiving the diagnosis months after leaving the White House. “I think Joe will live with cancer for the rest of his life,” Dr.Jill Biden said in a recent interview with NBC.\n\n\nContinuing the fight\n\n\n\nThough he’s faced pessimism from some corners of the Democratic Party, Biden has still looked for ways to be helpful to Democrats when he can. Biden endorsed two former officials in his administration in the weeks before their primaries: Keisha Lance Bottoms, who is running for governor in Georgia, and Dan Koh, a congressional candidate in Massachusetts.\n\n\nAt the event Saturday in Maryland, Biden visited with Gov. Wes Moore and Sen. Chris Van Hollen, two Democrats from the state seen as potential 2028 presidential hopefuls.\n\n\nMoore introduced Biden at the event, recounting how the former president helped send millions to the state for recovery efforts following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore in 2024.\n\n\n“He helped us, not just rebuild, he helped us heal. He surged federal assets to the city to help clear wreckage, because he knew that millions were hoping and needed and counting on that,” Moore said. “While President Biden might not be a Marylander by birth, President Biden helped to show us all what it means to be Maryland tough and Baltimore strong.”\n\n\nAdrienne Green, a Democrat from Baltimore, attended a meet-and-greet with Biden ahead of his speech. She said she was excited to meet him and believes he’s doing “well for his age,” but also spoke of the need for both parties to find a new crop of leaders.\n\n\n“I think they bring wisdom and counsel that’s valued and should be,” she said. “But I do think we are at a place and a point in both parties, quite frankly, Democrat and Republican, where the torch needs to be passed.”\n\n\nDemocratic Rep. Sarah McBride of Delaware is among those who Biden checks in with on a regular basis. The two met for lunch in Delaware last week, talking about President Trump’s impact on the world stage.\n\n\n“I think voters are concerned with the present and the future, and I think that we need an all-hands-on-deck approach, and that that includes the voices of people like Joe Biden and Barack Obama, and retired political leaders from throughout our party’s history, and I’m grateful for Joe’s leadership,” McBride told CNN in a phone conversation Saturday.\n\n\nAs he stood before Democrats on Saturday night, Biden insisted he was “still fighting” for the party as he offered encouragement to Democrats in their time out of power.\n\n\n“To all you who love our country, my message tonight is straightforward and simple: Get up, dammit. Get up now. Continue this fight!” he said to applause.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

An Iron Dome air defense battery. A group of unsuspecting Israeli soldiers.\n\n\nFiber-optic, first-person view (FPV) drones have become a key weapon in the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah’s war against Israel in recent months – bypassing Israel’s sophisticated defense systems by duplicating an asymmetric warfare tactic that first emerged in the Russia-Ukraine war.\n\n\nAt least 12 Israeli soldiers have been killed by Hezbollah’s drones since the conflict reignited in March – one third of Israeli fatalities in Lebanon – and the military is scrambling to find ways to counter the threat.\n\n\nUnlike the drones Hezbollah has previously deployed against Israel, the fiber-optic FPV drones – often no larger than a dinner plate – are extremely difficult to detect. The key to their lethality is a spool carrying miles of thin, fiber-optic cable that tethers the drones to their pilot, which means they do not emit any radio signals. That makes them both extremely difficult to detect and impossible to jam using electronic warfare methods.\n\n\n“The drone threat is a challenge, but we will overcome it,” the Israeli military’s chief of staff Eyal Zamir said last month, adding that “operational and technological solutions” are being developed and implemented.\n\n\nRace for countermeasures\n\n\n\nThe Israel Defense Forces (IDF) began by deploying hundreds of thousands of square meters of mesh netting – which can catch the drones before they reach their target – to protect troops in southern Lebanon and bases in northern Israel. It has also provided soldiers with shotguns and fragmenting rounds that can be used to take down approaching drones at close range.\n\n\nBut in order for those weapons to be effective against drones, soldiers first have to know they’re coming.\n\n\nThe IDF has yet to disclose how – or whether – it has improved its ability to identify and track these drones, but it has launched an appeal to private tech and defense companies to develop and deploy effective countermeasures.\n\n\nLast month, many of those companies gathered alongside military officials to address what was clearly an urgent problem requiring novel solutions. The firms included those developing non-radio frequency sensors to identify fiber-optic drones and others working on ways to intercept and neutralize the drones before they can hit their target.\n\n\nAmong them was Shai Kurianski, the chief technology officer and co-founder of Airwayz, which says it has developed software that can manage low-altitude airspace and identify potential threats. It’s a technology that was most recently put to use by the Miami Police Department to help protect a FIFA World Cup stadium from drone threats.\n\n\nBecause Hezbollah’s fiber-optic drones are so hard to detect, experts say multiple types of sensors are often needed simultaneously to accurately identify incoming threats – among them, optical, acoustic, radar and laser-based systems.\n\n\nAirwayz says its system fuses data from multiple sensors to rapidly identify friendly and hostile drones alike.\n\n\n“Most of the warnings that the soldiers have – it’s when they hear the drone coming and they have about three, four seconds,” Kurianski said. “If you will give them 20 seconds of warning or 30 seconds of warning, the results will be completely different.”\n\n\n‘It’s our children out there’\n\n\n\nLike others in Israel’s high-tech industry, Kurianski is motivated by a sense of urgency, as Israeli soldiers appear to be largely defenseless against this new Hezbollah threat.\n\n\n“It’s our children out there in Lebanon that are getting those FPV explosives and we will not wait with that,” Kurianski said.\n\n\nBut alongside that sense of urgency, many Israelis also feel a frustration that the Israeli military was insufficiently prepared for a threat that many saw coming.\n\n\nFiber-optic drones first emerged on the battlefield in Ukraine two years ago. Ukrainian officials have said they warned their Israeli counterparts about the danger and offered to help Israel prepare countermeasures for the day these cheap drones – which cost only $300 to $400 each – fell into the hands of Israel’s enemies.\n\n\n“We don’t see much interest or appetite from the Israeli leadership in this area,” Ukraine’s ambassador to Israel, Yevgen Korniychuk, told Israel’s Ynet news site in May. “I don’t want to speculate about the reasons for that. I often hear frustration about the fact that Israel is missing an opportunity to save more lives of its soldiers.”\n\n\nIt is a deadly reality that has become undeniable as Hezbollah has posted dozens of videos showing its drones infiltrating Israeli bases and forward operating positions, and targeting Israeli troops in the field.\n\n\nCurrent and former Israeli military officials have also acknowledged that Israel was underprepared for the drone threat.\n\n\nBrig. Gen. Yaron Rosen (Res.), the former chief of the IDF’s Cyber Staff, said the military was “completely overwhelmed” by the multitude of threats and arenas it has been engaged in.\n\n\n“Everyone was talking about it like, ‘Guys it’s coming,’ but no one really knew and other things were occupying our minds, especially Iran,” said Rosen, who is also the executive chairman of Airwayz.\n\n\nHe said the IDF is now “doing everything it can” to close the gap and hopes to see a “sharp decline” in the effectiveness of Hezbollah’s drones “in the next few months.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

He told her he found a job as a cook for the Russian army advertised on social media, assuring her he’d be far from the war in Ukraine, make good money and even have a shot at obtaining Russian citizenship.\n\n\nNorma was instantly suspicious. Her 31-year-old son had never left Peru before and had never even held a weapon. (CNN is not publishing Norma’s full name or that of her son to protect both from retaliation.)\n\n\n“I wanted to lock him in the house, but he had made up his mind already,” Norma told CNN. She considered even calling the police. “He told me ‘Mom, please, understand, I am just going as a cook.’ But a mother’s heart knows, if not I wouldn’t have felt so anxious.”\n\n\nWhen she dropped him off at the airport, Norma saw there were others waiting to fly to Russia, too. She tried questioning them, but they refused to speak with her.\n\n\n“My son asked me not to embarrass him, that I had to believe in him, that he was just going to work as a cook,” she said. “He left me heartbroken. Something told me that there was something wrong. I said goodbye, and that was the last time I saw him.”\n\n\nHer instincts were right. Soon, Norma received videos from her son that showed the true nature of the job. He had joined the ranks of hundreds of Peruvian men allegedly lured into the Russian military by local recruiters and social media ads with promises of lucrative employment in Russia, only to find themselves fighting on the front lines of the war in Ukraine.\n\n\nShortly after Norma’s son joined, he sent his mother images of himself in battle gear, digging trenches and building pinewood bunkers with other foreign fighters in a Ukrainian forest, videos she shared with CNN. On the sporadic calls Norma had with her son and video messages he sent, she could hear drones exploding in the background – which he assured her were far away.\n\n\nThe videos soon trickled to a stop by early April, when Norma’s son said he was being “punished” by a commander for misbehavior.\n\n\n“I told him ‘That’s a lie, you are going to fight on the front lines,’” she recalled. “He told me to calm down. And since that day I haven’t heard from him again.”\n\n\n“I have this light of hope that he is somewhere, hiding in a trench, but I really don’t know.”\n\n\n‘Cannon fodder’\n\n\n\nAs Russia’s war in Ukraine grinds on, the Russian military has gone to significant lengths to pad its ranks, including by recruiting foreign fighters from developing countries with promises of high salaries and bonuses.\n\n\nIn February, CNN reported that numerous men from African countries had been pressed into military service in Russia after being offered high-paying civilian jobs as drivers or security guards. A dozen men who spoke with CNN said that soon after arriving in Russia, they were forced to sign Russian-language contracts, given minimal training and sent into combat.\n\n\nSeveral countries have raised an outcry over Russian recruitment. Kenya’s foreign minister flew to Moscow in March to demand that Russia stop recruiting Kenyans, describing the pipeline bringing Kenyan citizens to Russia as a human trafficking ring. Russia’s embassy in Nairobi called the allegations “dangerous and misleading” in a statement to Deutsche Welle.\n\n\nAfter thousands of Nepalese citizens volunteered to fight for Russia, Nepal banned any travel to Ukraine or Russia for work.\n\n\nThe stories from Peruvian recruits and their families are similar. CNN spoke to twelve families that have been protesting for weeks outside of the Russian embassy in Lima and the Peruvian Foreign Affairs Ministry, waiting for answers on their relatives’ whereabouts.\n\n\nMany of the men are from impoverished backgrounds and know little of what might await them in Russia.\n\n\nPedro Bravo, director of Peruvian Communities Abroad at Peru’s Foreign Ministry, told CNN that many recruits “have limited resources and are in dire need” of funds. “They don’t have a very clear understanding of the international reality,” Bravo said. “It’s much easier to deceive them.”\n\n\nRosa, a mother of three who asked CNN to not use her surname, said her 48-year-old husband travelled to Russia with several other Peruvian men, hoping to obtain jobs as security guards. He had worked as a prison guard in Lima, but Rosa said her husband had no military experience before signing up through a local recruiter in Peru.\n\n\nCNN saw and reviewed WhatsApp messages between Rosa’s husband and a Spanish-speaking recruiter, nicknamed “Vizio.” The messages show that he agreed to “enlist in the army of the Russian Federation” for a one-year contract. The recruiter, who declined to be interviewed and refused to give CNN his real name when we reached out to him, told Rosa’s husband he’d have health and life insurance and would be repatriated to Peru if he became injured.\n\n\nRosa insists that her husband was unaware he would be sent to war.\n\n\n“They never told him that he was going to go to war, that he was going to have to sacrifice his life, he was not going to get paid. He wouldn’t have gone there,” she told CNN in a phone interview.\n\n\nAfter traveling to Russia, Rosa’s husband’s messages home sounded reassuring. But soon they became fragmented, and he often deleted messages moments after sending them.\n\n\n“He told me: ‘I think they’ve brought us to war. This is hell,’” Rosa said. Other messages described starvation, brutal military drills, constant drone attacks and recruits being punished for not understanding Russian commands.\n\n\nOn March 26, he told Rosa he was being moved again and ordered to collect his weapons and belongings. “He told me: ‘I love you all so much. You will always be in my heart,’” Rosa remembered.\n\n\nShe hasn’t received a message from him since. Several of his fellow troops have told Rosa that he died in a drone strike, but she remains convinced that he is still alive. “They were taken there as cannon fodder, as if their lives were worth nothing,” Rosa said, weeping. “I have three children who cry day and night for their father.”\n\n\nCNN has reached out to the Russian Ministry of Defense for comment.\n\n\nThe issue has attracted government attention, with Peru’s public prosecutor’s office announcing last month that the government is investigating Russian recruitment, which it described as “human trafficking.”\n\n\nPercy Salinas, an attorney representing some recruits’ families, gave CNN a copy of a prosecutorial order that describes the scope of the judiciary’s case.\n\n\nAuthorities are investigating 36 complaints from Peruvian citizens who say that their relatives or friends were deceived “via false job offers abroad — specifically in the Russian Federation — with the purpose of transporting them out of the country and subjecting them to…forced participation in an armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine,” according to the order.\n\n\nThe public prosecutor’s office declined to comment on the case when reached by CNN.\n\n\nBravo, from the foreign ministry, told CNN that the Peruvian government has made at least 247 separate requests to Moscow for information on Peruvians in the Russian military and demanded “the immediate, safe return of our fellow nationals to their home country, given that they departed without the proper authorization.”\n\n\nRussia has said that it “deeply respects the decision of foreign citizens to participate in the defense of (Russian) sovereignty and security.”\n\n\n“The Embassy reaffirms its ongoing readiness to take all necessary measures to obtain information as quickly as possible based on formally submitted requests,” the Russian Embassy in Lima said in an April statement regarding the “concerns of Peruvian families.”\n\n\nHuman trafficking or human error?\n\n\n\nSalinas, a lawyer representing the families of recruits, estimates that there are at least 800 Peruvians fighting for Russia right now, many of whom signed up on the promise of high salaries.\n\n\n“The definitive reason of why many families made the decision, and the men travelled to Russia, was an economic reason,” Salinas told CNN. “$20,000 bonus once you signed the contract and very flashy salaries of $3,000 or $4,000.”\n\n\nMost never receive the money promised, the lawyer said. Numerous family members told CNN that their relatives in the Russian army were unable to wire money to them even after they’d started earning a paycheck.\n\n\nSalinas admitted that there is an element of “personal responsibility” for the men who’ve signed army contracts, but insisted that most Peruvians fighting for Russia were “lured by deception.”\n\n\n“This falls under the category of human trafficking, and this is a human rights issue,” Salinas said. “Because Peruvians were lured here under false pretenses to perform work, and this could eventually lead to their death.”\n\n\nOne Peruvian soldier currently in Russian-occupied Ukraine told a similar story to CNN.\n\n\n“I made the decision to come here because of the job they were offering; it was better pay than what you make in Peru, and they told me I was going to work as a security guard in Moscow,” said Guillermo, a 28-year-old Peruvian army veteran from Lima. CNN has changed his name to protect him from retaliation. “I’ve been enlisted for three and a half months, and I honestly want to go back to Peru.”\n\n\nGuillermo told CNN that he and a friend were recruited by Pocho Wilson Pinto Peña, a reserve officer in the Peruvian military. Upon reaching Russia, Guillermo said his new superiors confiscated his phone and “practically forced” him to sign a contract in Russian that he was not allowed to translate.\n\n\nCNN reviewed a copy of the contract, as well as several others supplied by recruits’ families. All were standard, one-year Russian military contracts like those signed by foreign recruits from other countries. (Pinto’s name does not appear on any of the contracts CNN reviewed.)\n\n\nPinto told CNN he had not recruited Peruvian men for Russia’s war but merely given out a telephone number for a separate Peruvian recruiter in Russia, whom he refused to name. He said that the men who joined up knew exactly where they were going – or should have.\n\n\nThe recruiter “told me he just needed staff, not for what exactly,” Pinto said. “But the country is at war, so logically, as a military man, I would know where they are taking me.”\n\n\nPinto said he had warned the men he connected with the recruiter that they may be sent to the front lines and given them advice, such as “if there’s a drone coming, you should duck.”\n\n\n“It makes me very sad that they were maybe lied to by some other people,” Pinto added. He said that he had even escorted one distraught family to the Russian embassy in Lima to inquire about their kin. Pinto is aware of the prosecutorial inquiry into recruitment in Peru, which mentions a recruiter named “Pocho,” and considers its allegation of human trafficking “absurd.”\n\n\n“I am not involved in any human trafficking, I’m an honest man,” Pinto said. “I’m crystal clear and honest, I’ve never been involved in anything.”\n\n\nFrom occupied Ukraine, Guillermo told CNN that his life is bleak. The friend he’d joined up with was killed in combat the month before.\n\n\n“I’m completely abandoned,” Guillermo said. “I have no food, no medicine, I was injured in a drone attack, and my kneecap is broken.”\n\n\n“My daily routine is carrying boxes of cold food or other types of boxes,” he continued. “I do all of this with the help of a cane. When I do that kind of work at night, I can’t sleep because my knee swells up too much and hurts. All I want is to go home.”\n\n\nGuillermo said that he had tried to get help from the Peruvian embassy, but they told him “they couldn’t help” – he’d signed a contract.\n\n\nBravo, the diaspora director at the foreign ministry, told CNN that the Peruvian government’s hands are tied. “What do I do when the person claiming to have a knee injury is on the front lines? I can’t go to the front lines to get him out,” Bravo said. “That possibility simply doesn’t exist.”\n\n\nOnce the Peruvian soldiers sign their contracts, Bravo added, “the situation becomes very difficult when it comes to reaching them.”\n\n\nGuillermo knows all of this. He is painfully aware that his situation seems hopeless. “I’ll leave here either dead in the war or killed,” Guillermo said. “I have no way out.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Otros dos resultaron heridos y fueron trasladados al hospital, añadió el servicio.\n\n\nEl gobernador de Colorado, Jared Polis, declaró el sábado una emergencia por desastre en el condado de Mesa en respuesta al incendio, que, según dijo, había cruzado de Utah a Colorado, y autorizó a la Guardia Nacional del estado a apoyar los esfuerzos de respuesta.\n\n\nEl gobernador de Utah, Spencer Cox, anunció la semana pasada restricciones al uso de fuegos artificiales para la fiesta del 4 de Julio, señalando que una sequía histórica, cientos de incendios forestales y un comportamiento de fuego sin precedentes han llevado los recursos de extinción de incendios de Utah al límite.\n\n\nCox reconoció en un comunicado de prensa el viernes que la medida fue excepcionalmente difícil.\n\n\n“Nada de esta decisión fue fácil”, dijo Cox. “A los habitantes de Utah les encanta celebrar el 4 de Julio con familia, amigos y fuegos artificiales. A mí también. Pero este año es diferente. Estamos viendo un comportamiento del fuego que incluso nuestros bomberos más experimentados dicen que nunca habían presenciado antes”.\n\n\nLa amenaza de incendios es tan grave que la oficina del Servicio Meteorológico Nacional en Salt Lake City emitió su primera advertencia de bandera roja de “situación particularmente peligrosa”, que abarca el centro y sur de Utah e incluye el incendio Cottonwood, el mayor incendio activo del estado.\n\n\n“Esta es una medida temporal para un año extraordinario”, dijo Cox sobre la prohibición de fuegos artificiales. “Protege vidas y hogares mientras permite que los líderes locales, trabajando junto a sus funcionarios de bomberos, identifiquen áreas donde los fuegos artificiales pueden usarse de manera segura”.\n\n\nEn algunos municipios, los líderes locales, trabajando junto a los funcionarios de bomberos, designarán áreas aprobadas donde los fuegos artificiales aún podrán usarse bajo condiciones más seguras.\n\n\nUna sequía histórica, cientos de incendios forestales y un comportamiento del fuego sin precedentes han llevado al límite los recursos de extinción de incendios de Utah y han dejado poco margen para nuevos incendios provocados por el ser humano, según la oficina del gobernador.\n\n\nMás de tres cuartas partes de los incendios forestales de Utah esta temporada han sido provocados por personas, dijeron autoridades estatales. Advierten que la sequía prolongada, la vegetación extremadamente seca y las condiciones meteorológicas volátiles han creado un escenario en el que una sola chispa puede convertirse rápidamente en un incendio forestal destructivo y de rápida propagación.\n\n\nEstas peligrosas condiciones se intensificaron el viernes, cuando los meteorólogos emitieron la alerta máxima de riesgo de incendios —nivel 3 de 3, o designación de “extremadamente crítico”— en todo Utah, así como en partes del norte de Arizona y el este de Nevada.\n\n\nVarios grandes incendios forestales continúan ardiendo en el centro y el sur de Utah. El incendio Cottonwood, que arde a través del Bosque Nacional Fishlake al este de Beaver, Utah, ha crecido a más de 37.000 hectáreas hasta la mañana de este sábado, un área más grande que Salt Lake City, en solo unos días y permanece con 0 % de contención. Se ordenaron evacuaciones debido al incendio, que funcionarios estatales y locales creen que probablemente sea el incendio forestal más destructivo y costoso registrado en Utah. Su causa aún se investiga.\n\n\nUn total de 1.066 personas combaten el incendio de Cottonwood, y se ha advertido a los equipos de que se mantengan alerta ante el comportamiento peligroso e impredecible del fuego.\n\n\n“Siempre priorizamos la seguridad, y en cuanto vemos algo o tenemos alguna sensación de peligro, les decimos a los bomberos que si algo no les gusta, se retiren y busquen un lugar seguro”, declaró Alyssa Mason, portavoz del equipo de gestión de emergencias del incendio, a KSL, afiliada de CNN.\n\n\nLas autoridades estatales también advirtieron de que cualquier persona cuyas acciones ilegales provoquen un incendio forestal podría enfrentar graves cargos penales y una considerable responsabilidad civil por los daños causados.\n\n\nMientras las autoridades evalúan los daños, aún se desconoce el alcance total del incendio de Cottonwood. Pero en toda la comunidad de Beaver Mountain, los residentes ya lamentan la pérdida de sus queridas cabañas y refugios familiares que albergaban generaciones de recuerdos.\n\n\nPara Evan Stapley, Beaver Mountain era más que una escapada de fin de semana: formaba parte de la historia de su familia.\n\n\n“Para mí, no hay nada más hermoso que Beaver Mountain en otoño”, declaró Stapley a KSL, afiliada de CNN. “El amarillo de los álamos, con sus rojos y verdes. No hay nada más hermoso en el mundo”.\n\n\nAhora, la cabaña donde se forjaron esos recuerdos ha quedado reducida a cenizas. Stapley contó que se enteró del incendio de Cottonwood después de que un amigo le enviara un video del lugar donde se encontraba.\n\n\n“Lo vi y pensé: ‘¡Es increíble!’”, le dijo a KSL. “El fuego debió propagarse rapidísimo y dar vueltas por todas partes y arrasándola… Lloré”, añadió. “Tengo demasiados recuerdos, demasiados recuerdos de ese lugar”.\n\n\nEl incendio también causó estragos en la estación de esquí Eagle Point, donde varios edificios resultaron dañados o destruidos. En una publicación de Facebook, el propietario, Shane Gadbaw, dijo que la estación permanecerá cerrada mientras se recupera de lo que calificó de catástrofe.\n\n\n“Agradecemos que, hasta donde sabemos, no haya habido víctimas mortales a causa del incendio”, dijo Gadbaw en una publicación de Facebook.\n\n\nLos residentes se reunieron el viernes en el condado de Piute mientras el incendio de Cottonwood se acercaba, con llamas visibles a lo lejos y el humo asentándose sobre el valle, para escuchar actualizaciones y discutir planes de respuesta de emergencia, informó KSTU, afiliada de CNN.\n\n\nDurante la reunión, Nick Schenk, de Great Basin Team 5 —uno de los equipos de primera respuesta que combatió el incendio el lunes—, ofreció un relato emotivo sobre la lucha contra el fuego.\n\n\n“Hicimos absolutamente todo lo que pudimos. Pedimos toda la ayuda que pudimos encontrar. Y prácticamente lo único que podíamos hacer era sacar a la gente de su trayectoria”, declaró Schenk a KSTU.\n\n\nLas fotografías compartidas por el complejo turístico el jueves mostraban algunas cabañas que aún permanecían en pie en medio de un paisaje de árboles calcinados.\n\n\nMás al norte, el incendio Iron, cerca de Eureka, Utah, ha quemado más de 16.000 hectáreas después de realizar evacuaciones a principios de esta semana. Cerca de allí, el incendio Cherry, provocado por un rayo el viernes por la mañana, ya se ha extendido a más de 12.000 hectáreas.\n\n\nOtro incendio, el Wild Goose Fire, se desató cerca de Holden el viernes, sumándose a una lista creciente de incendios activos en todo Utah. Funcionarios estatales de bomberos estimaron que para la tarde del sábado había quemado más de 40.000 hectáreas mientras los equipos trabajaban para evaluar y contener su propagación. Otros dos incendios en la frontera entre Utah y Colorado se fusionaron para crear el incendio Snyder, que ha quemado aproximadamente 11.300 hectáreas.\n\n\nSe prevé que las condiciones meteorológicas críticas de alto riesgo de incendio persistan en el centro y sur de Utah todo el sábado, según el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional, con vientos fuertes que dificultan las labores de extinción. Un frente frío intenso atravesará la zona entre la noche del sábado y el domingo, lo que provocará un cambio en la dirección del viento y un descenso de las temperaturas.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Sin duda, 250 años de historia nacional son motivo de celebración.\n\n\nSin embargo, la historia de estas tierras, y de los pueblos que habitaron la vasta región que más tarde se convertiría en Estados Unidos, se remonta mucho más atrás.\n\n\nAbarca la época colonial y el período precolombino, con su mosaico de culturas indígenas estadounidenses, además de tiempos aún más remotos, cuando gigantescos reptiles recorrían la Tierra y los primeros seres humanos llegaron a América del Norte a través del estrecho de Bering.\n\n\nUno de esos reptiles fue “Sue”, el Tyrannosaurus rex, uno de los esqueletos de esta especie más grandes y mejor conservados del mundo. Con una antigüedad de unos 67 millones de años, Sue es hoy una residente permanente del Museo Field de Historia Natural de Chicago.\n\n\nEn el sur de Nuevo México, unas huellas fosilizadas halladas en un remoto sector del Parque Nacional White Sands evidencian la presencia humana mucho antes de la llegada de los colonos. Las huellas, preservadas en suelo de yeso endurecido, estaban rodeadas de antiguas semillas de pasto datadas mediante radiocarbono entre hace 21.130 y 22.860 años.\n\n\nAmbos descubrimientos forman parte de la rica historia del territorio que hoy conocemos como Estados Unidos.\n\n\nEstos son otros 13 lugares para explorar que son anteriores a la fundación del país:\n\n\nHace más de 2.500 años, pueblos indígenas de lo que hoy es Iowa construyeron elaborados montículos de tierra a lo largo del río Mississippi. Los Effigy Mounds están asociados con unas 20 tribus indígenas estadounidenses.\n\n\nLos arqueólogos determinaron que estos montículos cumplían funciones ceremoniales, espirituales y funerarias, aunque muchos aspectos de su significado cultural siguen siendo un misterio. De acuerdo con el Servicio de Parques Nacionales (NPS, por sus siglas en inglés), que administra el sitio, los arqueólogos creen que estas formaciones señalaban zonas preferidas para la caza y otras actividades.\n\n\nLa mayoría tiene forma de los animales que habitaban la región, como tortugas, panteras, osos, aves y otras especies.\n\n\nLos antiguos habitantes de lo que hoy es Ohio también construían montículos. Ubicado a unos 72 kilómetros al sur de Columbus, el Parque Histórico Nacional de la Cultura Hopewell conserva decenas de grandes montículos ceremoniales y funerarios en una región donde más tarde se asentó el pueblo shawnee.\n\n\nDeclarados Patrimonio Mundial por la Unesco en 2023, estos montículos están distribuidos en cinco sitios distintos alrededor de Chillicothe, Ohio. Según la Unesco, algunos de los enormes cuadrados, círculos y octágonos de tierra fueron construidos con gran precisión y alineados con los ciclos del Sol y la Luna.\n\n\nLos objetos rituales encontrados en estos lugares muestran que el pueblo hopewell mantenía intercambios comerciales con muchas otras sociedades de la antigüedad, desde la región de los Grandes Lagos hasta el golfo de México.\n\n\nUno de los asentamientos habitados de manera continua más antiguos del país, el emblemático Taos Pueblo, en el norte de Nuevo México, luce prácticamente igual que cuando los exploradores españoles llegaron por primera vez en la década de 1540.\n\n\nLas dos estructuras históricas de varios pisos, conocidas como Hlauuma (Casa del Norte) y Hlaukwima (Casa del Sur) en la lengua indígena tiwa, siguen habitadas por alrededor de 75 de los 1.400 residentes del pueblo. Taos Pueblo organiza numerosos eventos especiales, entre ellos un powwow y un festival cultural de varias tribus durante el segundo fin de semana de julio.\n\n\nLos visitantes pueden recorrer las tradicionales viviendas de adobe y participar en visitas guiadas durante todo el año.\n\n\nElevándose sobre las praderas de Illinois, en la orilla opuesta del río Mississippi frente a St. Louis, Cahokia fue en su momento una próspera área urbana y un importante centro comercial cuya población pudo haber rivalizado, en su apogeo hacia el año 1250, con la de muchas de las ciudades más grandes de Europa.\n\n\nActualmente, convertido en un parque estatal de Illinois, el sitio cuenta con un destacado museo arqueológico, la reconstrucción de un antiguo observatorio astronómico conocido como Woodhenge y decenas de montículos de tierra. Con una extensión comparable a la de las mayores pirámides del antiguo Egipto, el gigantesco Monks Mound es la estructura precolombina más grande situada al norte del centro de México.\n\n\nPuede que no tenga una roca famosa que marque el lugar, pero Jamestown fue el primer asentamiento inglés permanente en lo que más tarde se convertiría en Estados Unidos, 13 años antes de que los peregrinos desembarcaran en Plymouth, Massachusetts.\n\n\nAl igual que sus compatriotas británicos en Plymouth y los integrantes de la anterior colonia perdida de la isla de Roanoke, en North Carolina, los primeros habitantes de Jamestown tuvieron dificultades para sobrevivir. Soportaron el llamado “Tiempo del Hambre”, marcado por enfermedades, malas cosechas y conflictos con la tribu indígena powhatan, hasta sentar las bases sobre las que prosperó la colonia de Virginia.\n\n\nJamestown también dio origen a la leyenda del capitán John Smith y Pocahontas. Y eso fue precisamente: una leyenda, no un hecho histórico. Hija de un jefe powhatan, Pocahontas nunca estuvo enamorada de Smith y se casó con otro inglés, John Rolfe.\n\n\nPara una institución que ha formado a tantos presidentes de Estados Unidos, ganadores del premio Nobel y firmantes de la Declaración de Independencia, la Universidad de Harvard tuvo unos comienzos bastante modestos.\n\n\nCon un presupuesto total de 400 libras esterlinas, el Gran Tribunal General del Gobernador y la Compañía de la Bahía de Massachusetts, en Nueva Inglaterra, decretó la creación de una “escuela o colegio” destinado a la educación superior.\n\n\nLa primera sede de Harvard fue una modesta casa construida sobre un terreno de poco más de 4.000 metros cuadrados con vista a un lugar conocido como Cow-yard Row, una zona rural ubicada en las afueras de Boston. La primera generación de graduados, en 1642, estuvo integrada por apenas nueve hombres. Con el tiempo, Cow-yard Row evolucionó hasta convertirse en el actual Harvard Yard.\n\n\nUbicado en la costa de Kona, en la isla de Hawai, este complejo de templos junto al mar sirvió como lugar de refugio para la población civil durante tiempos de guerra.\n\n\nTambién acogía a guerreros derrotados que buscaban evitar ser ejecutados por los vencedores y a quienes infringían el kapu, palabra hawaiana que significa “prohibido” y que hace referencia a un conjunto de leyes sagradas o tabúes que permanecieron vigentes hasta 1819.\n\n\nEn la actualidad, el parque histórico nacional alberga una reconstrucción del templo Hale o Keawe, rodeado por una empalizada de madera, un muro de piedra volcánica y figuras talladas en madera (kiʻi) que representan a deidades hawaianas. El lugar sigue siendo un sitio activo de culto.\n\n\nConstruida por el Gobierno colonial neerlandés, la Wall Street original era, literalmente, el camino que recorría el interior de una muralla de madera y tierra levantada para proteger a Nueva Ámsterdam de posibles ataques de potencias coloniales rivales y de otras amenazas percibidas.\n\n\nSe cree que la construcción de la “Waal Straat” fue realizada por personas esclavizadas. Lo que sí está documentado es que, poco después de la demolición de la muralla, la intersección de Wall Street y Pearl Street funcionó como mercado de personas esclavizadas de la ciudad de Nueva York entre 1711 y 1762.\n\n\nEl edificio original del Federal Hall, terminado en 1703, fue posteriormente el ayuntamiento de Nueva York y la primera sede del Capitolio de Estados Unidos tras la Guerra de Independencia, entre 1785 y 1788. Por esa misma época, los comerciantes de valores comenzaron a reunirse bajo un plátano americano (buttonwood tree) en Wall Street, un encuentro al aire libre considerado el origen de la bolsa de valores de la ciudad.\n\n\nPuede parecer un gran granero rojo, pero este emblemático restaurante de Newport, Rhode Island, es considerado uno de los restaurantes en funcionamiento más antiguos de Estados Unidos y uno de los diez establecimientos gastronómicos más antiguos del mundo.\n\n\nAunque el edificio data de 1652, no comenzó a funcionar como establecimiento de alimentos y bebidas hasta dos décadas después. Una vez obtuvo la licencia para vender “todo tipo de bebidas alcohólicas fuertes”, la White Horse Tavern se convirtió en lugar de reunión de la asamblea colonial, el consejo municipal y el tribunal penal.\n\n\nEntre los platos tradicionales que hoy siguen formando parte del menú se encuentran la sopa de almejas estilo Nueva Inglaterra (New England clam chowder), el beef Wellington, el Scotch egg y el bread pudding.\n\n\nUno de los hoteles más antiguos de Estados Unidos desempeñó un papel durante la Guerra de Independencia. El Colonial Inn, en Concord, Massachusetts, sirvió primero como lugar de reunión para los colonos rebeldes y después se convirtió en uno de los objetivos de la fallida marcha de los casacas rojas británicos desde Boston.\n\n\nAl enterarse de que las fuerzas patriotas habían almacenado armas y provisiones en la posada y en otras estructuras cercanas, el Ejército británico marchó hacia Concord en abril de 1775. Ambos bandos se enfrentaron en el Puente Norte (North Bridge), sobre el río Concord, cerca de la posada. El puente, ubicado a pocos minutos a pie del hotel, forma parte hoy del Parque Histórico Nacional Minute Man y es conocido por ser el lugar donde se disparó el llamado “disparo que se escuchó en todo el mundo”, considerado el inicio de la Guerra de Independencia de Estados Unidos.\n\n\nUno de los huéspedes más famosos del hotel fue el escritor, filósofo y ambientalista Henry David Thoreau, quien vivió allí brevemente durante la década de 1830 mientras estudiaba en la Universidad de Harvard.\n\n\nAl desembarcar a orillas del río Mississippi en 1718, el explorador franco-canadiense Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville fundó la colonia de La Nouvelle-Orléans como parte de los esfuerzos de Francia por reforzar su presencia en América del Norte.\n\n\nComo gobernador de la naciente colonia, Bienville encargó a su ingeniero diseñar el ordenado trazado en cuadrícula de calles y manzanas que caracterizó al Vieux Carré, conocido hoy como el Barrio Francés.\n\n\nEntre los edificios más antiguos que aún se conservan en el barrio se encuentra el Antiguo Convento de las Ursulinas, terminado en 1752 y considerado el edificio euroestadounidense más antiguo del valle del río Mississippi. En la actualidad, el convento funciona como museo con exposiciones sobre la historia local y, ocasionalmente, alberga recepciones de bodas y otros eventos especiales.\n\n\nUbicada en St. Augustine, considerada la ciudad habitada de forma continua más antigua de Estados Unidos, la Casa González-Álvarez es la residencia colonial española más antigua que se conserva en Florida.\n\n\nFue construida por un soldado destinado en el cercano Castillo de San Marcos, quien necesitaba una vivienda para su familia. El piso superior está revestido con tablillas de madera, mientras que la planta baja presenta muros de mampostería de piedra coquina y pisos elaborados con tabby, un material tradicional compuesto, entre otros elementos, por conchas marinas. La Casa González-Álvarez forma parte del Complejo Museístico de la Casa Más Antigua, que también incluye la Casa Tovar, construida en la década de 1760, un jardín arbolado, un pequeño museo de historia y una colección dedicada a la historia y la cultura del surf en la región.\n\n\nEl complejo, administrado por la Sociedad Histórica de St. Augustine, está abierto al público, alberga una biblioteca de investigación y también es sede de ceremonias de boda.\n\n\nLa Misión San Diego de Alcalá, fundada por el padre Junípero Serra, fue la primera de las 21 misiones religiosas españolas establecidas en California.\n\n\nEn lugar de construirla junto a la amplia bahía de San Diego, Serra eligió un sitio ubicado a unos 14,5 kilómetros río arriba del valle de la Misión, donde había agua dulce, tierras fértiles y una mayor cercanía con las comunidades indígenas que buscaba convertir al catolicismo.\n\n\nAbandonada durante el período mexicano de la historia de California, la misión fue devuelta a la Iglesia católica en 1862 mediante un decreto del presidente Abraham Lincoln. En la actualidad, esta iglesia emblemática de San Diego mantiene una activa vida parroquial y recibe visitantes que pueden recorrer sus instalaciones mediante visitas autoguiadas.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Las víctimas mortales y heridas se cuentan por miles, mientras que los edificios colapsados o con daños suman cientos.\n\n\nEn medio de la tragedia, más de 2.000 rescatistas provenientes de una veintena de países han llegado a territorio venezolano para apoyar con las labores de búsqueda y rescate.\n\n\nLos momentos más críticos en la búsqueda de sobrevivientes están ocurriendo. Durante las últimas horas, el trabajo de los rescatistas ya dio resultados que devuelven la esperanza.\n\n\nLos rescatistas de El Salvador lograron liberar a una adolescente de 15 años y a su perro que quedaron atrapados dentro de un edificio derrumbado en la ciudad de Catia La Mar, La Guaira, el estado venezolano más afectado tras los terremotos, informó el presidente de El Salvador, Nayib Bukele.\n\n\nEl equipo salvadoreño tuvo que “atravesar varias paredes” para llegar hasta Camila Sofía Medina Rivas y su perro Chanel, en el noveno piso del edificio, dijo Bukele.\n\n\n“¡Hemos rescatado a Camila!”, publicó el mandatario en X, junto con un video de la niña siendo transportada en una camilla por varios rescatistas.\n\n\nLas imágenes muestran a la joven haciendo un gesto de corazón con las manos, mientras lleva puesta una máscara de oxígeno y saluda a la multitud reunida afuera del edificio.\n\n\nBukele compartió un clip de audio que supuestamente contiene una conversación entre Camila y un rescatista.\n\n\n“Estamos aquí para hacer todo lo posible por ayudarte”, se oye decir al rescatista, después de que Camila le contara que solo podía mover las piernas en el pequeño espacio en el que estaba atrapada.\n\n\n“Queremos que se mantengan con energía para que puedan ayudarnos a hacer todo el ruido posible”.\n\n\n“¡Vale!”, gritó Camila.\n\n\nEl equipo de rescate de El Salvador también rescató a Nayarit Colmenares, de 39 años, de un sexto piso de un edificio colapsado.\n\n\nDespués de horas de trabajo, el contingente salvadoreño logró sacar con vida a Colmenares.\n\n\nEl equipo de búsqueda y rescate de Colombia (USAR COL), asignado a La Guaira, rescató a un niño de 11 años luego de más seis horas de trabajos para extraerlo con vida de una estructura colapsada.\n\n\n“¡Moisés está a salvo! Tras seis horas de una intensa operación, el equipo USAR COL-1 de Colombia rescató con vida al niño de 11 años que permanecía atrapado bajo los escombros en La Guaira, Venezuela. Una vida más salvada. La esperanza siempre encuentra camino”, informó la Cancillería de Colombia en X.\n\n\nLa Cancillería acompañó su mensaje con un video del momento del rescate, en donde se ve a Moisés siendo colocado en una camilla para que lo bajen de los escombros.\n\n\n“Cuando vayas a bajar, te vas a quedar con los ojos cerrados. Vamos a moverte mucho, pero no te vamos a dejar caer”, le dice uno de los rescatistas colombianos al niño.\n\n\nEl equipo rescatista de Colombia comenzó el operativo para salvar a Moisés luego de arribar a Venezuela. En un primer momento, el equipo logró establecer contacto con él y luego concentró todos sus esfuerzos en su rescate.\n\n\nSegún USAR COL, en La Guaira “se concentra el mayor número de estructuras colapsadas y personas afectadas”.\n\n\nLos Bomberos de Quito informaron este sábado que, en colaboración con un equipo de El Salvador, lograron ubicar y rescatar a Marlene, una mujer de 80 años que permaneció atrapada durante más de 60 horas entre los escombros de un inmueble en el sector de Playa Grande.\n\n\nLos Bomberos difundieron el rescate en su cuenta de X, junto con un video que muestra el momento en el que un rescatista habla con la sobreviviente. “Vamos a ayudarte, venimos de Ecuador a ayudarte, tranquila, estamos contigo, ¿okay?”, le dice.\n\n\n“Nunca dejamos de buscar. Cada maniobra, cada decisión y cada minuto de esfuerzo estuvieron guiados por una misma convicción: mientras exista la posibilidad de encontrar vida, nuestra misión continúa”, dijo la corporación.\n\n\nAsí como Chanel, otros animales han sido rescatados de entre los escombros después de los terremotos en Venezuela.\n\n\nPeriodistas en el lugar han documentado rescates de perros, que son cargados lejos de los escombros.\n\n\nOtro caso es el de Lola, una gata rescatada en Chacao, municipio de Caracas afectado por los sismos.\n\n\nAutoridades locales dijeron a periodistas en la zona que Lola fue rescatada de un edificio colapsado y la pudieron identificar por la información en su placa.\n\n\nPor su placa, además, “pudimos identificar a quién pertenece, lamentablemente la propietaria falleció”, señalaron la autoridades de Chacao este sábado, y agregaron que los hijos de la dueña, llamada Beatriz, ya están al tanto de la situación y se harán cargo de la gata.\n\n\nLola, en tanto, será atendida por el servicio veterinario del que disponen las autoridades.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Ha sido un verdadero honor. Fin”, escribió Adorni en una publicación en X, en la que difundió una carta de agradecimiento a Milei, en la que hace pública su salida del gabinete.\n\n\nDías atrás, Adorni ya había dado un paso al costado en su función de portavoz del Gobierno de Milei, un cargo que ocupaba desde el inicio de la gestión como uno de los funcionarios del círculo más cercano al jefe de Estado.\n\n\nAdorni señala como “mentiras” las acusaciones en su contra. Asegura que se trata de “viajes que nunca existieron, gastos astronómicos y suntuosos, contratos inexistentes y falsos”.\n\n\n“Me han tratado de delincuente y corrupto sin un solo hecho de corrupción sobre mis espaldas”, dijo el ahora exfuncionario en el documento que dio a conocer. Asegura que mediante “el hostigamiento y la mentira” se buscó afectar su honor. “No puedo seguir exponiendo a gran parte de la gente que quiero a esta carnicería mediática”, dijo Adorni.\n\n\nEn su última aparición en abril ante el Congreso de la Nación como funcionario, el exjefe de Gabinete había reiterado que no cometió ningún delito y que iba a probarlo ante la Justicia. “No voy a renunciar”, afirmó en ese momento.\n\n\nEn las semanas y meses siguientes, pese a que el presidente Milei y gran parte de su gobierno le dieron su respaldo público, los escándalos por presunta corrupción no dejaron de ejercer presión sobre la gestión.\n\n\nVarios señalamientos dejaron a Manuel Adorni en el foco de la atención dentro del Gobierno de Milei en los últimos meses.\n\n\nUno de ellos es haber llevado con él en el avión presidencial a su esposa durante una gira del presidente por Estados Unidos, pese a que ella no tiene ninguna responsabilidad dentro del Gobierno.\n\n\nAdorni admitió el hecho, dijo que no lo consideraba un delito y afirmó que el costo de ese viaje no lo asumió el Estado argentino. Luego surgieron otros señalamientos por presunta malversación de caudales públicos, abuso de autoridad y enriquecimiento ilícito por la compra de dos propiedades tras su ingreso a la función pública, además de inconsistencias en su declaración jurada de 2025.\n\n\n“Trabajé más de 25 años en el sector privado.

Más temprano, el gobernador dijo que un automovilista murió tras ser arrastrado por las inundaciones repentinas.\n\n\nEl gobernador declaró el estado de emergencia para desplegar más recursos y anunció que entre 150 y 170 milímetros de lluvia cayeron sobre algunas zonas del estado. Se espera otro periodo de lluvias por la noche, y el gobernador instó a la población a actuar con cautela y evitar los desplazamientos innecesarios.\n\n\n“Cuando oscurezca, va a empeorar aún más. Así que, por favor, no conduzcan después de que anochezca si pueden evitarlo”, dijo Beshear.\n\n\nEste episodio de tiempo severo es el más reciente en una serie de inundaciones catastróficas en Kentucky, incluidas las inundaciones repentinas mortales de principios de 2025, cuando más de un mes de lluvia anegó gran parte del estado en menos de 24 horas. Decenas de personas murieron en Kentucky en 2022, cuando inundaciones sin precedentes anegaron viviendas y arrastraron algunas desde sus cimientos.\n\n\nSe están llevando a cabo evacuaciones preventivas en una parte del condado de Bullitt, una de las zonas más afectadas por las inundaciones de este sábado, mientras las autoridades vigilan de cerca una presa.\n\n\nUna parte del terraplén sufrió un deslizamiento de tierra, pero la presa se mantiene y no hay indicios de una “falla inminente”, dijeron funcionarios de gestión de emergencias del condado.\n\n\nLa iglesia Millon, en Richmond, parecía haberse derrumbado, según mostró un video. Más temprano en el día, la iglesia anunció que su servicio de este sábado quedaba cancelado debido a la tormenta, y añadió: “Oramos para que todos se mantengan a salvo”.\n\n\nFotos proporcionadas por la policía de Richmond muestran a agentes bloqueando calles inundadas y auxiliando a ocupantes de vehículos varados casi completamente sumergidos por el aumento de las aguas.\n\n\nEn Richmond, las dos personas que murieron por presunto ahogamiento estaban atrapadas en el sótano de una casa inundada, dijo la policía.\n\n\nLa vivienda ya estaba anegada cuando la policía y los bomberos llegaron al lugar y no pudieron comunicarse con nadie dentro, dijo la policía. Posteriormente, los equipos de rescate pudieron ingresar y encontraron los cuerpos de un hombre y una mujer, añadió la agencia.\n\n\nLas principales intersecciones de la ciudad están inundadas, dijo el alcalde de Richmond, Robert Blythe. Ha estado recibiendo llamadas de residentes preocupados por sus vecinos, cuyas casas se están llenando con el aumento del agua, dijo Blythe a CNN.\n\n\nRichmond, hasta cierto punto, se había salvado del clima trágico que ha afectado a las zonas cercanas en los últimos años, dijo el alcalde. Pero ahora, agregó. “Parece que es nuestro turno”.\n\n\nEn otras partes del condado de Madison, “carreteras importantes” están bajo el agua, con cinco equipos de búsqueda y rescate desplegados sobre el terreno, dijo el gobernador.\n\n\nCinco condados, entre ellos Bullitt, Madison, Meade, Mercer y Spencer, también declararon estado de emergencia a nivel local, informó la oficina del gobernador.\n\n\nCNN se ha puesto en contacto con esos cinco condados bajo estado de emergencia local para obtener más información sobre los efectos de las inundaciones.\n\n\nAl menos 12 carreteras en todo el estado están inundadas y no se puede acceder a ellas, mientras que numerosos puentes en condados como Jessamine han sido “completamente arrasados”, dijo el gobernador.\n\n\nSe han realizado decenas de rescates, dijo Beshear. La gestión de emergencias del estado, la policía estatal y los equipos de rescate en aguas rápidas están respondiendo a solicitudes de emergencia en comunidades locales, añadió.\n\n\n“Sabemos que ya hemos perdido al menos a un puñado de habitantes de Kentucky. No quiero perder a nadie más”, dijo, y añadió que las tormentas se han vuelto “mucho más severas de lo que la mayoría habría pensado”.\n\n\nEsta historia fue actualizada con información adicional.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Si es confirmado, Schroyer supervisaría a 22.000 empleados y un presupuesto de miles de millones de dólares.\n\n\n“El Senado debe confirmar rápidamente a Lance Schroyer”, dijo Mullin en su declaración.\n\n\nICE, que está bajo la supervisión del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional, ha sido una pieza clave en la estrategia de Trump para endurecer la política migratoria, lo que ha provocado protestas en algunas ciudades, donde estas acciones han derivado en tiroteos y otros episodios de violencia.\n\n\nMullin, quien representó a Oklahoma en el Senado, dijo a CNN en un comunicado que Schroyer es una “gran elección”. Añadió que confía en que su liderazgo y experiencia directa “empoderarán a los hombres y mujeres de ICE para deportar a inmigrantes ilegales con antecedentes criminales, asegurar la patria y proteger al pueblo estadounidense”.\n\n\nMullin dijo que Schroyer viene “directamente del terreno operativo”, donde trabajó junto con socios estatales y federales bajo el programa 287(g). Ese programa, entre otras cosas, permite que ICE autorice a agentes estatales y locales del orden público a realizar tareas específicas de control migratorio bajo la supervisión de la agencia federal.\n\n\nLa relación entre Mullin y Schroyer se remonta a años, y Schroyer fue la elección del secretario para dirigir la agencia de control migratorio, según un funcionario del gobierno.\n\n\nNo es inusual que los secretarios elijan para puestos de liderazgo a personas de su confianza. La exsecretaria de Seguridad Nacional Kristi Noem incorporó a Madison Sheahan, quien trabajó como su directora política mientras era gobernadora de Dakota del Sur, para desempeñarse como subdirectora de ICE.\n\n\nDavid Venturella, el actual director interino, es un veterano de la agencia federal, mientras que Schroyer sería nuevo en la plantilla si es confirmado. Se espera que Venturella permanezca como director interino hasta que Schroyer sea confirmado, de acuerdo con un funcionario del DHS.\n\n\nEl anuncio de la designación de Trump llega tras un año turbulento para ICE y el DHS.\n\n\nTodd Lyons, un veterano de la agencia federal, dejó el cargo de director interino en primavera después de enfrentar un intenso escrutinio por el aumento de arrestos de la agencia y por los tiroteos mortales de dos ciudadanos de Estados Unidos a manos de agentes federales en enero.\n\n\nMullin, quien asumió las riendas del DHS en marzo después de que Trump destituyera a Noem, ha comenzado a introducir algunos cambios de política, pero enfrenta presión de legisladores, incluidos republicanos, para ir más lejos en su intento por corregir el rumbo del atribulado departamento.\n\n\nMullin ha sido durante mucho tiempo un firme partidario de la ofensiva migratoria de Trump, aunque ha dicho repetidamente que quiere que los agentes adopten un enfoque “discreto” mientras mantienen un ritmo enérgico de arrestos.\n\n\nEsta historia fue actualizada con información adicional.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Will the wedding be in New York, where the pop star and football hero have been spotted this summer? Maybe even at Madison Square Garden, where someone has filed a permit to close surrounding streets from July 2 to July 4, as multiple city and law enforcement sources say?\n\n\nAs per the habit of our times, the people are answering these questions and more on the prediction markets that have consumed ever more aspects of American life. Whether or not they actually know the answers is beside the point. Hopefully no one will be arrested for insider trading.\n\n\nPrimarily used for sports and pop culture, prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi allow users to place bets on likely outcomes. Kalshi is CNN’s official prediction market partner. CNN editorial employees are not allowed to trade on prediction markets.\n\n\nFor Swift’s wedding, thriving categories beyond location and timing include: possible bridesmaids and groomsmen, likely guests and whether the betrothed will find time to attend a World Cup match.\n\n\nSwift is, of course, one of the best known musicians on the planet. A UMass Lowell/YouGov poll in March found that 35% of respondents had a favorable opinion of the star, versus 32% unfavorable and 30% who had no opinion (leaving three percent who had somehow never heard of her).\n\n\nA Yahoo/YouGov survey taken just after Swift and Kelce got engaged in August 2025 found that 77% of Americans said they had heard at least a little about the engagement, although just 22% said they cared.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Two others were transported to a hospital where they were treated for burn injuries, the service said.\n\n\nThe firefighters had been caught in a “burnover incident,” an extremely dangerous scenario in which firefighting crews are overtaken by a fast-moving blaze with no viable escape route or safety zone, the US Wildland Fire Service said.\n\n\n“The U.S. Wildland Fire Service and the U.S. Forest Service are focused on supporting the firefighters’ family, friends and colleagues during this difficult time,” the statement read.\n\n\nColorado Gov. Jared Polis declared a disaster emergency Saturday in Mesa County in reaction to the blaze, which he said had crossed into Colorado from Utah, and authorized the state’s National Guard to support response efforts.\n\n\nAnother fast-moving wildfire, the Gold Mountain Fire, prompted Ouray County, Colorado, to declare a local state of emergency and issue mandatory evacuation orders as it burned in steep, rugged terrain east of Telluride.\n\n\nThe fire, which originated on US Forest Service land, was expected to escalate from a Type III to a Type I incident on Sunday as additional state and federal firefighting resources, including hotshot crews, air tankers and helicopters, were mobilized, state officials said.\n\n\nUtah’s governor announced last week firework restrictions for the Fourth of July, saying a historic drought, hundreds of wildfires and unprecedented fire behavior have stretched Utah’s firefighting resources to the brink.\n\n\n“Utahns love celebrating the Fourth of July with family, friends and fireworks. I do too. But this year is different,” Gov. Spencer Cox said. “We are seeing fire behavior that even our most experienced firefighters say they’ve never witnessed before.”\n\n\nThe fire threat is so severe the National Weather Service office in Salt Lake City issued its first-ever “particularly dangerous situation” red flag warning, which covers central and southern Utah and includes the Cottonwood Fire, the state’s largest active blaze.\n\n\n“This is a temporary measure for an extraordinary year,” Cox said of the fireworks ban. “It protects lives and homes while allowing local leaders, working alongside their fire officials, to identify areas where fireworks can be used safely.”\n\n\nPowerful wind gusts of 30 to 60 mph prevented water bombers from flying in some parts of Utah Saturday, but conditions could begin to improve Sunday, Utah Division of Forestry Director Jamie Barnes told CNN.\n\n\n“I’m hopeful that today is going to be a better day,” Barnes said Sunday morning. “It was pretty crazy the last two days. We saw a little relief yesterday. We’re supposed to get some relief today.”\n\n\nIn some municipalities, local leaders working alongside fire officials will designate approved areas where fireworks can still be used under safer conditions.\n\n\nThe Cottonwood Fire, burning through the Fishlake National Forest east of Beaver, Utah, has grown to nearly 100,000 acres as of Sunday morning, an area bigger than Salt Lake City, in just a few days and remains 0% contained. Evacuations are in place for the fire, which state and local officials believe is likely Utah’s most destructive and costly wildfire on record. Its cause is still under investigation.\n\n\nA total of 1,200 personnel are battling the Cottonwood Fire, where crews have been warned to stay vigilant of the dangerous and unpredictable fire behavior.\n\n\n“We always have safety first out there, and as soon as we see things or we start getting feelings, we’ve told the guys they don’t like it, disengage, get to a safe place,” Alyssa Mason, a spokesperson for the fire’s emergency management team, told CNN affiliate KSL.\n\n\nState officials also warned anyone whose illegal actions ignite a wildfire could face steep criminal charges and substantial civil liability for the damage caused.\n\n\nFarther southeast, the rapidly growing Babylon Fire prompted the Manti-La Sal National Forest to issue an emergency closure Sunday covering all National Forest System lands, roads and trails within the Dark Canyon Wilderness and portions of Bears Ears National Monument, citing public safety and “active wildfire operations.”\n\n\nThe fire exploded from about 300 acres to more than 16,000 acres in 24 hours with no containment as crews battle the blaze and work to protect infrastructure, forest officials said. Strong winds, high temperatures and critically low humidity are expected to keep fire activity high over the coming days.\n\n\nBeloved cabins and lifelong memories reduced to ashes\n\n\n\nAs officials continue assessing the ongoing damage, the full toll of the Cottonwood Fire remains unknown. But across the Beaver Mountain community, residents are already grieving the loss of cherished cabins and family retreats that held generations of memories.\n\n\nFor Evan Stapley, Beaver Mountain was more than a weekend getaway — it was woven into his family’s history.\n\n\n“To me, nothing’s more beautiful than Beaver Mountain in the fall,” Stapley told CNN affiliate KSL. “The aspen yellow, and you get the reds in there and all the greens. There is nothing more beautiful in the world.”\n\n\nNow, the cabin where those memories were made has been reduced to ash. Stapley said he learned it had burned in the Cottonwood Fire after a friend sent him video of the spot where it once stood.\n\n\n“I saw that and went, ‘That’s just unbelievable,’” he told KSL. “The fire must have moved so fast and twirled around in there and just took it … I cried,” he added. “I’ve got too many memories, too many memories of that place.”\n\n\nThe fire also dealt a devastating blow to Eagle Point Ski Resort, where several buildings were damaged or destroyed. In a Facebook post, owner Shane Gadbaw said the resort will remain closed as it recovers from what he called a catastrophe.\n\n\n“We are thankful that to our knowledge, there have been no human casualties from the fire,” Gadbaw said in a Facebook post.\n\n\nResidents gathered Friday in Piute County as the Cottonwood Fire pushed closer, with flames visible in the distance and smoke settling across the valley, to hear updates and discuss emergency response plans, CNN affiliate KSTU reported.\n\n\nDuring the meeting, Nick Schenk of Great Basin Team 5, one of the first responders who fought the blaze Monday, delivered an emotional account of the battle against the fire.\n\n\n“We did everything we absolutely could.

La tarde de este sábado se cumplen tres días completos desde los dos terremotos que azotaron Venezuela el miércoles y, con ello, el lapso de 48 a 72 horas que históricamente ha predominado para buscar a personas vivas bajo los escombros tras algún sismo fuerte llega a su fin. Después de ese lapso, las probabilidades de supervivencia sin una fuente de agua disminuyen rápidamente. Sin embargo, algunos estudios indican que muchos rescates de supervivientes aún pueden tener lugar durante los primeros cinco o seis días posteriores a un siniestro.\n\n\nEn Venezuela, mientras transcurren las horas más críticas y el tiempo se vuelve un factor vital, los rescatistas trabajan sin detenerse para encontrar sobrevivientes. Miles han llegado al país desde distintas partes del mundo a apoyar en lo que unos describen como una “zona de desastre”.\n\n\nPero, a pesar de este panorama adverso, cada rescatista guarda la “esperanza” de hallar a alguien con vida.\n\n\nDavid Emmanuel Villa Tejeda, miembro del equipo rescatista mexicano de los Topos, dijo desde el terreno en la capital Caracas que la situación es “difícil”, ya que los edificios dañados son estructuras muy altas y hay una alta cantidad de ellos.\n\n\n“Es difícil porque el terremoto fue primero uno, al minuto fue otro y no fue muy profundo.Entonces, fue lo que ocasionó que cayeran tantísimos edificios”, indicó Villa Tejeda a periodistas que acompañan las labores en Venezuela.\n\n\nEl panorama es negativo, al menos en el edificio en el que él estaba trabajando en la capital. Dijo que, por la manera en la que cayó la estructura, “está siendo muy difícil ya encontrarlos con vida”.\n\n\nNo obstante, dice que no pierden la esperanza, pues han estado en situaciones donde “hemos sacado personas después de 10 días, debajo de los escombros, vivos todavía”.\n\n\n“Aún tenemos la esperanza de encontrar a alguien vivo y recuperar todas las víctimas que estén atrapadas adentro”, señaló el rescatista del equipo mexicano.\n\n\nVilla Tejeda comentó que la mayor diferencia que ha visto desde su llegada el viernes por la noche es la organización. Ahora todo fluye de mejor manera una vez que se asignaron tareas entre los equipos internacionales en el país sudamericano.\n\n\n“Ayer había 100 personas arriba del edificio. Por el peso puede irse otra vez para abajo.Entonces, desde que llegamos a trabajar, no sé si se dieron cuenta, hemos subido en equipos de cuatro o cinco máximo con los perritos y ya revisamos”, añadió.\n\n\nEl equipo rescatista de Ecuador llegó a Venezuela el viernes por la mañana y desde ese primer día de operaciones tuvo dos asignaciones en el estado La Guaira, la zona más afectada por los terremotos.\n\n\n“El reporte del líder del equipo USAR Ecuador es que lamentablemente en estos términos es una zona de desastre, todo el sector de La Guaira especialmente. Esa fue la primera impresión que le dio al equipo”, dijo el comandante Esteban Cárdenas Verela, jefe de los Bomberos de Quito, a CNN.\n\n\nComo jefe del cuerpo de bomberos, Cárdenas Verela está recibiendo información desde Venezuela por parte del Grupos de Búsqueda y Rescate Urbano (USAR ECU) de los Bomberos de Quito.\n\n\nEn La Guaira, el equipo ecuatoriano se dirigió a su asignación en La Guzmania, donde evaluaron estructuras, realizaron operaciones de búsqueda y rescate, incluidos binomios caninos, con el fin de encontrar posibles sobrevivientes, sin novedades por el momento.\n\n\nLa otra asignación en La Guaira fue en Caraballeda, otro punto fuertemente impactado por los terremotos. Ahí, el equipo rescatista tuvo conocimiento de una posible persona con vida, pero el acceso fue “imposible (…) debido al colapso de puentes en la ruta”.\n\n\nCárdenas Varela añadió que desde esta tarde el equipo ecuatoriano tiene dos asignaciones más en el terreno.\n\n\n“Esperemos tener resultados positivos. Como ustedes saben, hay equipos que están recuperando personas con vida, todavía tenemos la esperanza de que podamos encontrar más sobrevivientes en esta tragedia”, dijo el jefe de los Bomberos de Quito.\n\n\nLa tragedia ha dejado hasta este sábado por la tarde más de 1.400 personas muertas y más de 3.200 heridas, según autoridades venezolanas. En tanto, más de 30.000 personas están desplegadas en las labores de atención a la tragedia; la cifra incluye efectivos militares, policías, rescatistas, médicos, paramédicos, psicólogos y acompañantes.\n\n\nCárdenas Varela indicó que tenían registrados más de 20 equipos rescatistas en Venezuela. El de Ecuador consta de 46 rescatistas, dos canes de búsqueda y aproximadamente seis toneladas de equipamiento, entre el campamento y equipo de búsqueda tecnológica, como drones con sistema de monitoreo térmico para la búsqueda de sobrevivientes.\n\n\n“Ese es el contingente, esto es sumado a dos aviones de la Fuerza Aérea Ecuatoriana que son parte del gobierno, el Estado ecuatoriano los ha puesto a disposición del equipo para poder apoyar a Venezuela en esta lamentable tragedia”, señaló el jefe de bomberos.\n\n\nEl equipo de rescate ecuatoriano puede trabajar “24 horas durante siete días de manera ininterrumpida”, dijo Cárdenas Varela. Después de ese tiempo, evaluarán con las autoridades locales si se requiere de más ayuda.\n\n\nEl equipo de rescate salvadoreño ya ha rescatado a personas con vida en La Guaira en las horas que llevan desplegados en Venezuela.\n\n\nUn rescatista del equipo salvadoreño dijo a la agencia Reuters que se organizaron en siete equipos sobre el terreno, además de las unidades caninas y de dron que apoyan con las labores. Asimismo, el equipo apoyará con insumos médicos.\n\n\n“Esos siete grupos están trabajando simultáneos (…) También pretendemos reforzar los hospitales, vienen nueve toneladas de medicamentos para la donación a los hospitales y poder trabajar de la mano con el área de salud porque traemos médicos, enfermeras y paramédicos”, comentó Roberto Gavidia, del equipo rescatista de El Salvador.\n\n\nEl apoyo en materia de salud es de suma importancia para Venezuela en estos momentos. Con las miles de personas heridas y fallecidas, los hospitales del país —que ya carecían previamente de una infraestructura sólida— están desbordados.\n\n\nEl equipo de El Salvador rescató viva a Camila Sofía Medina Rivas, de 15 años, y a su perro Chanel de entre los escombros del noveno piso de un edificio en Catia La Mar, estado La Guaira. Este mismo equipo rescató con vida a Nayarit Colmenares, de 39 años, que se encontraba atrapada en los escombros de un sexto piso en La Guaira.\n\n\nPor ser la zona más afectada, el equipo de búsqueda y rescate de Colombia (USAR COL) también fue asignado a La Guaira. Este equipo consta de 63 rescatistas y cuatro binomios caninos. Según la evaluación de USAR COL, en La Guaira “se concentra el mayor número de estructuras colapsadas y personas afectadas”, señaló el Gobierno de Colombia en un comunicado.\n\n\nEl equipo rescatista colombiano pudo establecer contacto con un niño de 11 años “atrapado en un edificio colapsado”. Después de seis horas de trabajos para sacarlo con vida, el equipo colombiano logró su rescate, informó la Cancillería de Colombia.\n\n\nLa misión colombiana tendrá una duración de 10 días.\n\n\nLas frecuentes réplicas tras los dos fuertes terremotos del miércoles están afectando las labores de rescate de sobrevivientes atrapados en edificios colapsados, señaló Loyce Pace, directora de la Cruz Roja para las Américas, a CNN.\n\n\n“No sé si la gente es consciente de lo constante que ha sido esta amenaza”, dijo Pace.\n\n\n“Se producen temblores continuos cada vez que hablo por teléfono con mi equipo allí… Es algo bastante constante y da bastante miedo. Esto significa que nuestros equipos deben tener mucho cuidado al entrar en estas comunidades para evaluar los daños o prestar servicios”.\n\n\nLa frecuencia de estas réplicas también implica que la población debe tener cuidado al volver a entrar en sus hogares, añadió. “La gente quiere regresar a casa, quiere sentirse segura de nuevo, pero existe inseguridad respecto a la infraestructura; hay edificios que literalmente se están derrumbando, así que debemos extremar las precauciones en las próximas semanas”, afirmó.\n\n\nMuchas personas siguen durmiendo a la intemperie debido a la amenaza y, aunque se están habilitando algunos refugios temporales, llevará tiempo garantizar que todos puedan acceder a ellos, comentó.\n\n\nAnte daños de tal magnitud y la persistencia de las réplicas, “existe mucha ansiedad en la comunidad, incluso entre nuestros propios voluntarios”, agregó Pace.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Andy Beshear said Sunday afternoon conditions are improving.\n\n\nOne person died in Jackson County, in southeastern Kentucky, and three others died in Madison County, just south of Lexington — including a man and woman who officials said drowned in a home that was underwater, Beshear confirmed Saturday.\n\n\n“This flooding has devastated so many communities across our state and taken the lives of four children of God, gone too soon,” Beshear said in a statement Sunday, adding that he will request federal public and individual assistance to support recovery efforts.\n\n\nBeshear also declared a state of emergency and urged people to be cautious and avoid unnecessary driving.\n\n\n“When it gets dark, it’s going to get even worse. So please, do not drive after dark if you can avoid it,” Beshear said in a video posted to X Saturday afternoon. One motorist was killed after being swept away by flash flooding, Beshear said.\n\n\nAs of Sunday afternoon, 13 counties and five cities — spanning central, southern and western Kentucky — have declared states of emergency, according to the governor’s office. The counties are Bullitt, Clinton, Cumberland, Garrard, Grayson, Jackson, Jessamine, Madison, Meade, Mercer, Metcalfe, Spencer and Wayne. The cities are Albany, Brandenburg, Burkesville, McKee and Muldraugh.\n\n\nOver the coming weeks and months, the state will have to deal with massive infrastructure damage to roads and bridges that have been washed out, Beshear said.\n\n\nHe added that Kentucky will request public assistance from FEMA to help pay for and rebuild those structures, especially in rural counties.\n\n\n Get your forecast on CNN Weather for iPhone\n\n\nMore than 8 inches of rain had fallen at the Cumberland County mesonet site since midnight, according to a Facebook post from the NWS in Louisville. The emergency covers Cumberland, Clinton and Metcalfe counties, with officials urging residents to seek higher ground.\n\n\nThe severe weather is the latest in a history of catastrophic flooding in Kentucky, including deadly flash floods in early 2025 when more than a month’s worth of rain deluged much of the state in less than 24 hours. In 2022, dozens of people in Kentucky were killed when unprecedented flooding inundated houses and swept some from their foundations.\n\n\nIn the latest disaster, some parts of the state were drenched with 10 to 12 inches of rain in the 48-hour window between Friday and Saturday.\n\n\nBeshear said this is Kentucky’s 16th weather-related disaster in the past six and a half years.\n\n\nWhile the same areas were expected to get only one to two inches of rain Sunday, the saturated ground could trigger more flooding as the weekend comes to an end.\n\n\nAs conditions improve, Beshear said it’s crucial for those impacted to have power and for those who have been displaced to relocate to a location with power, which may include lodges at the state parks.\n\n\nMore than 60 water rescues and evacuations have been conducted, Beshear said Sunday. In Madison County alone, 17 households are sheltering and 320 homes are without water, according to the governor’s office.\n\n\nBeshear also signed an emergency order Sunday allowing pharmacies in impacted areas to issue emergency refills and activated the state’s price gouging laws to protect residents from inflated prices on goods and services.\n\n\nRoads across Cumberland County are not safe for driving, County Judge Luke King said. “For those who are not required to be out, please stay in,” King said in a Facebook post Sunday morning.\n\n\n“This isn’t a restriction of your personal freedoms,” he added. “It’s a sincere request to help reduce the number of situations where our first responders and local government teams have to risk their lives to save someone else.”\n\n\nPrecautionary evacuations are underway in one part of Bullitt County, which was hit particularly hard by Saturday’s flooding.\n\n\nOfficials were closely monitoring a dam that recently experienced a landslide. The dam is holding and there’s no indication of an “imminent failure,” county emergency management officials said on Facebook on Saturday.\n\n\nThe Million Church in Richmond appeared to have collapsed, according to a video. Earlier in the day, the church announced its Saturday service was canceled due to the storm, adding: “Praying everyone stays safe.”\n\n\nPhotos provided by police in Richmond – about 30 miles south of Lexington – show officers blocking off flooded streets and checking on stranded vehicles almost submerged by rising floodwaters.\n\n\nThe two people who died from suspected drowning in Richmond were trapped in the basement of a flooded home, police said.\n\n\nThe residence was already underwater when police and fire officials arrived at the scene and could not make contact with anyone inside, police said. Rescue teams were later able to enter and found the bodies of a man and a woman, the agency said.\n\n\nMajor intersections in the city are flooded, Richmond Mayor Robert Blythe said. He has been receiving calls from residents concerned about their neighbors whose homes are filling with water, Blythe told CNN.\n\n\nRichmond, to a certain extent, had been “spared” from the tragic weather affecting the surrounding area in recent years, the mayor said. “It appears to be our turn,” he added.\n\n\nElsewhere in Madison County, “significant roads” are underwater, with five search and rescue teams on the scene, the governor said.\n\n\nAt least 12 roads across the state are flooded and inaccessible, while numerous bridges in counties like Jessamine have been “entirely wiped out,” the governor said.\n\n\n“We know we’ve already lost at least a handful of Kentuckians. I don’t want to lose any more,” he said, adding the storms have become “much more severe than most would have thought.”\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional information.\n\n\nCorrection: A previous version of this story misspelled the name of Million Church in Richmond.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

If confirmed, Schroyer would oversee a workforce of 22,000 people and a multibillion-dollar budget.\n\n\n“The Senate must quickly confirm Lance Schroyer,” Mullin said in his statement.\n\n\nICE, which is overseen by the Department of Homeland Security, has played a key role in Trump’s effort to crack down on illegal immigration, spurring protests in some cities where those actions have led to shootings and aggressive confrontations.\n\n\nMullin, who represented Oklahoma in the Senate, told CNN in a statement that Schroyer is a “great pick.” He added he is “confident Lance’s strong leadership and firsthand experience will empower the men and women of ICE to deport criminal illegal aliens, secure the homeland, and protect the American people.”\n\n\nMullin said Schroyer is “coming straight from the operational field,” where he worked alongside state and federal partners under the 287(g) program. The program, among other things, allows ICE to authorize state and local law enforcement officers to perform specific immigration enforcement duties under the federal agency’s supervision.\n\n\nMullin and Schroyer’s relationship dates back years, and Schroyer was the secretary’s choice to lead the immigration enforcement agency, according to an administration official.\n\n\nIt’s not unusual for secretaries to select agency leadership familiar to them. Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem brought on Madison Sheahan, who worked as her political director while she was governor of South Dakota, to serve as ICE deputy director.\n\n\nDavid Venturella, the current acting director, is a veteran of the federal agency, while Schroyer would be new to the workforce if confirmed. Venturella is expected to stay on as acting director until Schroyer is confirmed, according to a DHS official.\n\n\nTrump’s nomination announcement comes after a turbulent year for ICE and DHS.\n\n\nTodd Lyons, a veteran of the federal agency, stepped down as acting director in the spring after facing immense scrutiny over the agency’s ramped-up arrests and over the fatal shootings of two US citizens by federal agents in January.\n\n\nMullin, who took the reigns at DHS in March after Trump fired Noem, has begun to make some policy changes but faces pressure from lawmakers, including Republicans, to go further in seeking to right the embattled department.\n\n\nMullin has long been a staunch supporter of Trump’s immigration crackdown, though he’s repeatedly said he wants agents to take a “quiet” approach while remaining aggressive on arrests.\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional information.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

And for sea lions, this is actually seasonal behavior during the summertime. Sea lions tend to have way less interest in food and more interested in just laying down under the sun,\" said Grecia. \n\n\n\nShe says what looks like \"tricks\" during the sea lion shows are also termed \"behaviors.\"\n\n\n\nThey help with blood draws, vet checks and daily health monitoring.\n\n\n\n\"This is also a behavior they choose to do or not to do. There's nothing we can do about it if they really don't want to do them. We're not going to, we're going to step aside to the following behavior,\" said Grecia. \n\n\n\nAnother reason the zoo won't force this pair to perform, especially on their birthday.\n\n\n\n\"We cannot do them, do these girls do anything they don't want to. And today, they really didn't want to train, and we didn't want to call everyone in to just see them sleeping, as you can see them,\" said Grecia. \n\n\n\nGrecia says they'll still throw a birthday party for Delilah and Dichali.\n\n\n\n\"We're still planning on doing it. Same stuff included, it's just going to be postponed. Maybe a month or two, whenever they are already ready to, to feed again,\" Grecia told ABC-7's Olivia Vara during the interview. \nThe post Birthday party postponed for El Paso Zoo’s Sea Lions appeared first on KVIA.","url":"https://kvia.com/news/top-stories/2026/06/27/birthday-party-postponed-for-el-paso-zoos-sea-lions/","source":"KVIA ABC-7","author":"Olivia Vara","publishDate":"2026-06-27T19:50:21.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkvia.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2FScreenshot-2026-06-27-at-1.48.25-PM.png","slug":"birthday-party-postponed-for-el-paso-zoos-sea-lions"},{"id":"faoi2t","title":"Avión de United Airlines estuvo a punto de chocar con un dron cuando se disponía a aterrizar en Nueva Jersey, según el piloto","excerpt":"Por Karina Tsui, Elise Hammond y Diego Mendoza, CNN\n\n\nUn avión de pasajeros de United Airlines casi choca con un dron mientras estaba a punto de aterrizar en Nueva Jersey el viernes, según dijo su piloto, lo último en una serie de incidentes de aviación recientes antes del feriado del Cuatro de J...","content":"Por Karina Tsui, Elise Hammond y Diego Mendoza, CNN\n\n\nUn avión de pasajeros de United Airlines casi choca con un dron mientras estaba a punto de aterrizar en Nueva Jersey el viernes, según dijo su piloto, lo último en una serie de incidentes de aviación recientes antes del feriado del Cuatro de Julio.\n\n\n“Casi chocamos con un dron”, se puede escuchar al piloto decir en un audio de control de tráfico aéreo verificado por CNN, describiendo el dispositivo como circular y de aproximadamente tres pies de ancho, “a unos 100 pies por debajo de nosotros”.\n\n\nLa tripulación del vuelo informó haber visto el dron mientras se aproximaba al Aeropuerto Internacional Newark Liberty alrededor de las 17:20 (hora de Miami), según comunicó la Administración Federal de Aviación (FAA) a CNN. La agencia indicó que está investigando el incidente.\n\n\nEl Boeing 737, que transportaba a 106 pasajeros y cinco miembros de la tripulación procedentes de Cayo Hueso (Florida), aterrizó sin problemas hacia las 17:30 (hora del Este), y los viajeros desembarcaron en la puerta de embarque con normalidad, informó United a CNN en un comunicado.\n\n\nOtro piloto que se dirigía a Newark en un vuelo de United Express operado por GoJet Airlines también informó haber visto un dron a una altitud aproximada de 600 metros (2.000 pies), según grabaciones de control de tráfico aéreo de esa misma franja horaria.\n\n\nEl incidente ocurre en un momento de mucha actividad para los viajes aéreos. La Administración de Seguridad en el Transporte espera revisar a casi 18,7 millones de viajeros en los controles de seguridad aeroportuaria de EE.UU. durante la semana del feriado del 4 de Julio, entre el 30 de junio y el 6 de julio.\n\n\nCNN se ha puesto en contacto con GoJet y con el aeropuerto de Newark para solicitar más información.\n\n\nSe registran alrededor de 100 avistamientos de drones al mes cerca de los aeropuertos de EE.UU., según la FAA, aunque la agencia prohíbe el uso de drones en espacios aéreos controlados o cerca de aeronaves tripuladas sin autorización oficial.\n\n\nEn lo que va de año y hasta el mes de marzo, los pilotos han notificado a la FAA 319 avistamientos de drones, según datos de la agencia.\n\n\nSin embargo, las colisiones son poco frecuentes. Solo en ocho de esos casos los pilotos informaron haber tenido que realizar alguna maniobra para evitar el objeto —como descender o virar—, y hubo un único reporte de un dron que se estrelló en la pista, concretamente en el aeropuerto de San Carlos, California.\n\n\nEn marzo, pilotos de los aeropuertos neoyorquinos LaGuardia y John F. Kennedy informaron a la agencia de la presencia de varios sistemas de aeronaves no tripuladas, según los informes de la FAA.\n\n\nA medida que aumenta la presencia de drones en zonas de gran tráfico aéreo, los aeropuertos están utilizando tecnología de detección para rastrear estos aparatos en su espacio aéreo. Durante una audiencia celebrada el martes por el Subcomité de Comercio sobre Aviación, Espacio e Innovación del Senado, la senadora demócrata por Nevada, Jacky Rosen, habló sobre el desarrollo de tecnologías para contrarrestar los UAS (sistemas de aeronaves no tripuladas) por parte del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional y el Departamento de Defensa, con el fin de disuadir a las personas de volar estos dispositivos en las cercanías de los aeropuertos.\n\n\n“Integrar la normativa de seguridad de los UAS en todos los aspectos —ya sea a través de la FAA o mediante otros mecanismos y marcos regulatorios que gestionan el espacio aéreo nacional— es absolutamente fundamental. No puede haber vacíos legales”, afirmó en la audiencia Chris Sununu, exgobernador de Nueva Hampshire y actual presidente y director ejecutivo de Airlines for America.\n\n\nEl aeropuerto de Newark se encuentra también a unos 24 kilómetros (15 millas) de East Rutherford, Nueva Jersey, donde se disputan partidos de la Copa del Mundo. Las autoridades han anunciado que el uso de drones está estrictamente restringido en torno a estos eventos.\n\n\nEn abril de 2019, las operaciones aéreas en Newark se vieron afectadas tras recibirse informes sobre un dron volando cerca del aeropuerto de Teterboro, situado a unos 27 kilómetros (17 millas) de distancia. Según informó la FAA en aquel momento, los avisos provinieron de las tripulaciones de vuelo de un avión de Southwest y de otro de United.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

And 250 years of nationhood is definitely something to celebrate.\n\n\nYet the history of the land — and the people who have resided on the vast expanse that became the United States — stretches back much further.\n\n\nIt includes colonial times and the pre-Columbian era with its mosaic of Native American cultures, plus the long-ago days when giant reptiles roamed the Earth and the first humans made their way onto the North American continent across the Bering Land Bridge.\n\n\nOne of those reptiles was “Sue” the Tyrannosaurus — one of the world’s largest, best preserved Tyrannosaurus rex skeletons. Dating back some 67 million years, Sue is now a permanent resident of Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History.\n\n\nAnd in southern New Mexico, fossilized footprints in a remote corner of White Sands National Park attest to human movement long before the colonists. Embedded in hardened gypsum soil, the footprints were surrounded by ancient grass seeds radiocarbon dated to between 21,130 and 22,860 years ago.\n\n\nBoth discoveries are part of the rich history behind the place now known as America. \n\n\nHere are 13 more spots to explore that predate the founding of the nation:\n\n\nEffigy Mounds, Iowa (circa 500 BC)\n\n\n\nBeginning more than 2,500 years ago, Native peoples in what is now Iowa constructed elaborate earthen mounds along the Mississippi River. The Effigy Mounds are associated with about 20 Native American tribes.\n\n\nArchaeologists have determined the mounds served ceremonial, spiritual and burial functions, though many details of their cultural significance remain a mystery. According to the National Park Service, which maintains the site where the mounds lay, the formations are believed by archaeologists to indicate preferred areas for hunting and other activities.\n\n\nThe majority are shaped like the animals — turtles, panthers, bear, birds and other creatures — that inhabited the region.\n\n\nHopewell Earthworks, Ohio (0-400)\n\n\n\nThe ancient people living in present-day Ohio were also into mound building. Located around 45 miles (72 km) south of Columbus, Hopewell Culture National Historical Park preserves dozens of large burial and ceremonial mounds in a region later settled by the Shawnee people.\n\n\nDeclared a World Heritage Site in 2023, the mounds are scattered across five different sites around Chillicothe, Ohio. According to UNESCO, some of the massive earthen squares, circles and octagons are executed with great precision and in alignment with sun and moon cycles.\n\n\nRitual objects discovered at the sites show that the Hopewell people traded with many other bygone societies between the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico.\n\n\nTaos Pueblo, New Mexico (1000-1450)\n\n\n\nOne of the nation’s oldest continuously occupied sites, the iconic Taos Pueblo in northern New Mexico looks much the same today as when the Spanish explorers first arrived in the 1540s.\n\n\nThe two multi-story historic structures — known as Hlauuma (North House) and Hlaukwima (South House) in the Indigenous Tiwa language family — are still occupied by around 75 of the village’s 1,400 residents. Taos Pueblo hosts numerous special events, including a powwow and multi-tribal cultural festival on the second weekend of July.\n\n\nVisitors can tour the traditional Adobe homes and guided tours are offered year-round.\n\n\nCahokia, Illinois (900-1300)\n\n\n\nRising above the Illinois prairie on the opposite side of the Mississippi River from St. Louis, Cahokia was once a thriving urban area and trade center with a population that may have rivaled many of the largest cities of Europe at its peak around 1250.\n\n\nNow an Illinois state park, the site includes an excellent archaeological museum, the reconstruction of an ancient astronomical observatory called Woodhenge and scores of earthen mounds. With a footprint equivalent to the largest pyramids of ancient Egypt, Cahokia’s colossal Monks Mound is the largest pre-Columbian structure north of central Mexico.\n\n\nJamestown, Virginia (1607)\n\n\n\nIt may not have a famous rock to mark the spot, but Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in what would later become the United States — 13 years before the Pilgrims landed in Plymouth, Massachusetts.\n\n\nLike their British brethren in Plymouth and the earlier lost colony on Roanoke Island in North Carolina, the original inhabitants of Jamestown struggled to survive at first. They endured a “Starving Time” of disease, failed crops and conflict with the Powhatan Native American tribe to become the seed from which the Virginia colony sprouted.\n\n\nJamestown also begat the legend of Captain John Smith and Pocahontas. And that’s just what it was — a legend rather than historical fact. A daughter of a Powhatan chieftain, Pocohontas was never in love with Smith and married a different Englishman (John Rolfe).\n\n\nHarvard University, Massachusetts (1636)\n\n\n\nFor an institution that has educated so many American presidents, Nobel laureates and Declaration of Independence signers, Harvard University had a rather humble beginning.\n\n\nAllotting a grand total of 400 British pounds for the task, the Great and General Court of the Governor and Company of the Massachusetts Bay in New England declared that “a schoale or colledge” should be created for higher education.\n\n\nHarvard’s first home was a modest house on an acre of land overlooking what was called “Cow-yard Row” — a rural area on the outskirts of Boston. The first graduating class in 1642 boasted just nine men. And Cow-yard Row eventually evolved into modern-day Harvard Yard.\n\n\nPuʻuhonua o Hōnaunau, Hawaii (circa 1650)\n\n\n\nLocated along the Kona Coast on the Island of Hawaii, this seaside temple complex served as a place of refuge for civilians during times of war.\n\n\nIt also housed defeated warriors seeking to avoid execution by the victors and anyone who broke the kapu, which means “forbidden” in Hawaiian, and refers to a set of sacred laws or taboos that endured until 1819.\n\n\nToday’s national historical park features a reconstruction of the Hale o Keawe temple surrounded by a wooden stockade, volcano stone wall and carved wooden kiʻi figures of Hawaiian gods. It’s still an active place of worship.\n\n\nWall Street, New York (1653)\n\n\n\nErected by the Dutch colonial government, the original Wall Street was literally the path along the inside of a timber and earthen wall to protect New Amsterdam from potential attacks by rival colonial powers and other perceived threats.\n\n\nIt’s believed that slave labor carried out the construction of “Waal Straat.” What is known for sure is that shortly after the wall’s demolition, the intersection of Wall Street and Pearl Street served as New York City’s slave market from 1711 to 1762.\n\n\nThe original Federal Hall, completed in 1703, later served as New York’s city hall and the first US Capitol building after the Revolutionary War (1785 to 1788). Around that same time, securities traders began meeting under a buttonwood tree on Wall Street, the al fresco origin of the city’s stock exchange.\n\n\nWhite Horse Tavern, Rhode Island (1673)\n\n\n\nIt may resemble a big red barn, but this culinary landmark in Newport, Rhode Island, is considered one of the nation’s oldest operating restaurants and one of the 10 oldest eating establishments on the entire planet.\n\n\nAlthough the structure dates from 1652, it didn’t become a food and beverage outlet for another two decades. Once it was licensed to sell “all sorts of strong drink,” the White Horse Tavern became the meeting place of the colonial assembly, city council and criminal court.\n\n\nNew England clam chowder, beef Wellington, Scotch egg and bread pudding are some of the vintage dishes on the current menu at the White Horse.\n\n\nConcord’s Colonial Inn, Massachusetts (1716)\n\n\n\nOne of the nation’s oldest hotels played a role in the American Revolution, The Colonial Inn in Concord, Massachusetts, first as a meeting place for rebellious colonists and then a target of the ill-fated Redcoat march from Boston.\n\n\nLearning that Patriot forces had stored arms and provisions at the inn and other nearby structures, the British Army marched on Concord in April 1775. The two forces clashed at the North Bridge over the Concord River near the inn. The bridge, a short walk from the inn, is now located in Minute Man National Historical Park and is most famous as the location of the “shot heard ‘round the world,” which launched the Revolutionary War.\n\n\nOne of the inn’s most famous residents was author, philosopher and environmentalist Henry David Thoreau, who bunked there briefly in the 1830s while attending Harvard.\n\n\nNew Orleans’ French Quarter, Louisiana (1718)\n\n\n\nStepping ashore along the Mississippi River in 1718, French-Canadian explorer Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville founded the colony of La Nouvelle-Orléans as part of French efforts to bolster their presence in North America.\n\n\nAs governor of the nascent colony, Bienville had his engineer design a neat grid pattern of streets and blocks that characterized the Vieux Carré or what we know today as the French Quarter.\n\n\nAmong the neighborhood’s oldest surviving buildings is the Old Ursuline Convent, completed in 1752 and now the oldest Euro-American building in the Mississippi Valley. Today, the convent is a museum with exhibits on local history that’s sometimes used for wedding banquets and special events.\n\n\nGonzález–Álvarez House, Florida (circa 1720)\n\n\n\nLocated in St. Augustine, which is considered the oldest continuously occupied settlement in the US, the González–Álvarez House is Florida’s oldest surviving Spanish colonial residence. It was built by a soldier stationed at nearby Castillo de San Marcos who needed a place for his family to live. The upper story is covered in wooden clapboards while the ground floor features coquina limestone masonry walls and seashell tabby flooring.\n\n\nThe González–Álvarez is part of the Oldest House Museum Complex that also includes the Tovar House (built in the 1760s), a shady garden, a small history museum and a collection dedicated to local surfing history and culture.\n\n\nThe complex, operated by the St. Augustine Historical Society, is open to the public, houses a research library and hosts weddings.\n\n\nMission San Diego de Alcalá, California (1769)\n\n\n\nThe first of 21 Spanish religious missions in California, Mission San Diego de Alcalá was founded by Father Junípero Serra.\n\n\nRather than build it beside San Diego’s substantial bay, Serra chose a site around nine miles (14.5 km) up Mission Valley that offered fresh water, good soil and closer proximity to the Native Americans that he wanted to convert to Catholicism.\n\n\nAbandoned during the Mexican period of California history, the mission was returned to the Catholic Church in 1862 via a decree from President Abraham Lincoln. Nowadays, San Diego’s landmark church has a very active parish and welcomes visitors to take self-guided tours.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Narrowing your focus helps to match your goals with the account best suited for them.\n\n\nFor example, a 529 plan can offer unmatched tax advantages for education savings, while a custodial brokerage account gives greater flexibility to use funds for major milestones, like a first home or general financial support. For long-term retirement savings, a custodial Roth IRA can offer a unique tax-free path to growth (and it can also be used penalty free for shorter term goals like buying a house).\n\n\nWhere Trump Accounts fit in\n\n\n\nTrump Accounts are designed as custodial investment vehicles for long-term wealth-building, with limited investment options and a prohibition on withdrawals in all but one instance* before a child turns 18.\n\n\nUnlike a custodial Roth IRA, families may contribute to Trump Accounts even if the child doesn’t earn income.\n\n\nParents, relatives, friends and employers may, combined, contribute up to $5,000 per year, which can accelerate your child’s savings long before they start working. Contributions from governments or nonprofits do not count against that limit.\n\n\nAnd, for those eligible, the $1,000 federal contribution makes opening the Trump account a “no-brainer,” said Howard Davidoff, a professor at the Murray Koppelman School of Business at Brooklyn College.\n\n\nBut, beyond that, considering the potential limitations of the account becomes much more important, he added.\n\n\nHow Trump Accounts compare to other options\n\n\n\nControl of a Trump Account transitions to the child at age 18. From there it functions in a similar way to a traditional IRA.\n\n\nThat means withdrawals made before the child turns 59-1/2 will be subject not only to ordinary income tax but also a 10% early withdrawal penalty, unless the money is used for certain qualified expenses that apply to a range of financial goals – among them, higher education, buying a first home, and birth or adoption costs.\n\n\nBut while the account can serve multiple purposes, it is often not the most efficient option for any one purpose.\n\n\nAccounts designed for a specific goal — such as 529 plans for education or Roth IRAs for retirement — can typically offer stronger tax advantages or greater flexibility tailored to that purpose.\n\n\nIf parents’ main goal is to save for college, the 529 is a better choice, McGrath said. Besides being able to contribute much more to 529s, he explained, “A lot of times, you get a state tax deduction, [and] there’s no taxes on the growth.”\n\n\nFor long-term retirement savings – or even some shorter term expenses – contributing to a custodial Roth IRA can offer greater benefits than a Trump Account if the child has earned income, Davidoff said. “You’ve got tax-free income growth earnings for the rest of your life.”\n\n\nBy comparison, Trump Accounts allow contributions regardless of earned income, enabling an earlier start to a child’s wealth accumulation. The tradeoff is that withdrawals are taxed.\n\n\nWhat about brokerage accounts?\n\n\n\nFor families focused on helping their child or general financial support, custodial brokerage accounts may provide more flexibility, allowing funds to be used for any purpose that benefits the child with no contribution limits — though with fewer tax advantages than Trump Accounts because they don’t allow for tax-deferred growth.\n\n\nCompared with these options, Trump accounts trade flexibility for structure.\n\n\nThat structure can be a drawback for some families, particularly those who may need emergency access to funds before the child reaches adulthood. But it also may benefit investors who struggle to stay disciplined over time.\n\n\nThe structure forces you to stay invested, which can help people avoid emotional decisions, like selling early, Davidoff said.\n\n\nStill, if a family is only going to be able to save in one type of vehicle, financial advisers caution against choosing a Trump Account solely on the basis of the federal government incentive and the convenience of having it already opened.\n\n\n“My concern is people are going to be so excited about (the) $1,000, they might use that when it might not be the best vehicle for them or their children on a long-term basis,” said McGrath.\n\n\nThe bottom line\n\n\n\nDavidoff emphasized that the most important asset parents and children have is time. “Compounding growth is a miracle in and of itself. But you’ve got to start early,” he said.\n\n\nIn that regard, a Trump Account started at birth with $1,000 in federal seed money can offer a great advantage, especially if the parents and their employers also put in money from year 1 of a child’s life.\n\n\nBut the $1,000 incentive shouldn’t drive the decision alone.\n\n\nThe “best” account – or accounts – for your family depends entirely on your goals. “Parents need to have a plan,” McGrath said. “Once you know that, you can make a decision.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Colombia y, probablemente, Perú se sumarán a lo ya ocurrido en Chile, con la victoria en elecciones de candidatos conservadores que reemplazarán a figuras vinculadas a la izquierda elegidas anteriormente. Esto hace inevitable preguntarse por la próxima contienda presidencial en el continente, precisamente la más grande en territorio y número de votantes: ¿será Brasil la excepción o la confirmación de esta ola de derecha?\n\n\nPara encontrar una respuesta, es útil comprender los contextos en los que se han disputado elecciones no solo en el continente, sino en Latinoamérica en general. Los márgenes que deciden a los ganadores y perdedores han sido más ajustados que en el pasado: en Colombia, el derechista Abelardo de la Espriella derrotó al senador de izquierda Iván Cepeda, apoyado por el presidente Gustavo Petro, por menos de un punto porcentual.\n\n\nUna situación similar a la de Perú, donde se espera que la conservadora Keiko Fujimori, hija de Alberto Fujimori, sea finalmente elegida presidenta tras tres intentos, a pesar de que el izquierdista Roberto Sánchez impugna el resultado del escrutinio, cuyo resultado oficial se conocerá en julio.\n\n\nLa excepción fue la victoria del chileno José Antonio Kast, quien ganó con facilidad y con el apoyo de casi todos sus contrincantes a Jeannette Jara, candidata respaldada por el expresidente izquierdista Gabriel Boric.\n\n\nTodos ellos recurrieron en sus campañas al discurso de la lucha contra la delincuencia. En la última década, la seguridad se ha convertido en una preocupación no solo para sociedades más acostumbradas a la violencia urbana, como Brasil o Colombia, sino también para países que hasta hace poco no temían tanto al crimen, como Chile.\n\n\nEl discurso de mano dura contra la delincuencia ha sido efectivo, como se evidenció con De la Espriella, pero también benefició a Kast. Ambos utilizaron como referencia las megacárceles de El Salvador bajo el gobierno de Nayib Bukele, a quien también han citado en Brasil quienes aspiran a la presidencia.\n\n\nNo solo el senador Flávio Bolsonaro, hijo del expresidente Jair Bolsonaro, sino también otras figuras de la oposición al gobierno de Lula han recurrido al modelo de Bukele, como el exgobernador de Minas Gerais, Romeu Zema, y Renan Santos, el más joven en entrar a la contienda por un partido recién fundado con fuerte movilización en redes sociales.\n\n\nComo analizamos la semana pasada, el nuevo factor en la carrera por el Palacio de Planalto en 2026 son las acciones del presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, especialmente a través del Departamento de Estado, bajo el mando de Marco Rubio, y desde la perspectiva de lo que los analistas internacionales han denominado la Doctrina Donroe, una reinterpretación por parte de la actual Casa Blanca para adoptar una política exterior de liderazgo estadounidense en América, tal como la defendió el presidente James Monroe en el siglo XIX.\n\n\nEn las recientes elecciones colombianas, ambos buscaron obtener beneficios cuando la victoria de De la Espriella comenzó a ser el resultado más probable, entre la primera y la segunda vuelta. Por ahora, el mismo escenario no se presenta en Brasil; por el contrario, las encuestas apuntan a una ligera ventaja para la campaña de reelección. Sin una clara señal de favoritismo hacia la oposición, Trump podría mantener públicamente la postura ambigua que ha demostrado hasta ahora.\n\n\nEsto no significa permanecer indiferente ante lo que sucede en el país más grande de Sudamérica. La decisión de Estados Unidos de designar a las facciones criminales brasileñas como organizaciones terroristas extranjeras ha puesto a Lula en una posición incómoda, ya que el presidente brasileño se ha declarado públicamente en contra de la medida, que recibió el apoyo inmediato de Flávio Bolsonaro y otras figuras de la oposición.\n\n\nLas encuestas indican un apoyo mayoritario entre el electorado brasileño a esta medida, lo que demuestra una vez más la gran preocupación que existe en el país por la violencia y la delincuencia. La encuesta más reciente, del instituto Datafolha, muestra un 59 % de acuerdo total o parcial con la decisión estadounidense. En contraste, el 74 % de los encuestados —tres de cada cuatro personas— se opone total o parcialmente a cualquier acción de agentes estadounidenses contra facciones criminales sin el conocimiento del gobierno brasileño.\n\n\nRubio dejó aún más claro el gran interés que la disputa en Brasil despierta en la Casa Blanca. En una reciente audiencia del Senado sobre el presupuesto del Departamento de Estado, el secretario afirmó que América Latina está experimentando un momento de mayor alineación con Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, mencionó excepciones: citó a Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Colombia y Brasil, añadiendo que el ciclo electoral en el país ya había comenzado.\n\n\nLa declaración no pasó desapercibida. En un discurso, Lula definió a Rubio como un “latinoamericano frustrado”, casi como una declaración despectiva hacia el secretario de la administración Trump. Sin embargo, tras bambalinas, miembros del gobierno muestran preocupación por, por ejemplo, las acciones organizadas en el entorno digital para influir en la opinión pública local.\n\n\nEn comparación con los presidentes de izquierda de la región que no lograron ayudar a sus aliados en la sucesión, Lula tiene una diferencia crucial: él mismo se postula para un nuevo mandato. Si bien la actual administración tiene el índice de aprobación más bajo de los tres períodos en que el líder del Partido de los Trabajadores ocupó el Palacio de Planalto, el atractivo que el líder octogenario aún evoca en ciertas regiones y sectores sociales del país es reconocido incluso por sus adversarios.\n\n\nHistóricamente, todo presidente brasileño que se postula para la reelección logra mejorar su índice de aprobación entre los votantes. Este fue el caso de Bolsonaro en 2022, quien perdió apoyo popular durante la pandemia de covid-19 y cayó derrotado ante Lula por el margen más estrecho jamás registrado en elecciones presidenciales en Brasil. Hasta aquella elección, todos los gobernantes que se han postulado para un nuevo mandato han salido victoriosos.\n\n\nLa ola pro-derecha continental representa un nuevo desafío para Lula, quien fue protagonista de la llamada ola rosa que llevó al poder a varios gobiernos de izquierda en la región durante este siglo. Además de las recientes victorias, el ascenso de Javier Milei en Argentina frente al peronismo y el de Rodrigo Paz en Bolivia, tras la escisión en el bando liderado por Evo Morales, son emblemáticos. En octubre, las urnas brasileñas serán la prueba definitiva de esta ola continental y de la ya probada resistencia de Lula.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

It’s a truly incredible result and sets up one of the most unbelievable matchups possible in the Round of 32: The underdogs will take on the reigning world champions Argentina and all-time superstar Lionel Messi.\n\n\nDon’t worry, we’ll get more into it below. But, for now, let’s explain why Saturday will see a game that neither team wants to win and how FIFA’s new rules for this World Cup set up a particularly wild scenario.\n\n\nA game that neither team wants to win? Welcome to the wonderful world of tournament permutations\n\n\n\nStrip it all away and soccer is a simple sport. Two teams do everything they can to score more goals than the other in order to secure a glorious win. Easy to understand, right? Well, these rules sometimes fly out the window at this stage of a World Cup.\n\n\nYou just have to look at the Group J match between Austria and Algeria later today as an example of how group permutations can twist the very basic laws of the game.\n\n\nLet’s take it step by step. Whoever wins this match will finish second and secure an automatic spot in the Round of 32. A goal worth fighting for, right? Well, maybe not.\n\n\nGiven that Spain won its final group game yesterday, the European champion will be awaiting whoever finishes second in Group J. That’s a test so difficult that it might make more sense for Austria to actually lose the game today.\n\n\nA defeat would mean Austria finishes third but still qualify for the knockouts as one of the best third-placed finishers. It also means it faces a slightly easier fixture in the Round of 32 – which as it stands means a clash against Switzerland.\n\n\nA win might be no good to Algeria either, for the exact same reason.\n\n\nInstead, on paper at least, a draw would be idea for Algeria because it means it will finish third and therefore will avoid a clash with Spain. A win, on the other hand, secures a second-place finish and a clash with Lamine Yamal and La Roja.\n\n\nThe question is: Will both teams be trying to do everything not to win? Well, probably not.\n\n\nMomentum is very important in tournament soccer and setting out to draw or lose goes against everything these players are primed to do. They’re also representing their nations, something which comes with a responsibility to do the right thing.\n\n\nAt most, managers might look to rotate their squads and, I’m sure, no team will admit to anything other than trying as hard as it can.\n\n\nAlgeria is also in a situation where a loss would likely knock it out of the tournament, so the African side can’t afford to play around too much.\n\n\nThis sort of strange situation does happen occasionally in soccer, and definitely at tournaments like the World Cup. It’s also occurred in league matches, with fans hoping their own team loses because winning would only help their rivals.\n\n\nIt’s a strange quirk that doesn’t come up too often, but it might make the game more exciting to watch.\n\n\nEngland vs. Panama (Group L)\n\n\n\nWhen? 5 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? New York New Jersey Stadium (MetLife Stadium), East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA\n\n\nIt’s a lot less complicated in some of the other groups.\n\n\nThis game, for example, doesn’t have a great deal riding on it. Panama is already out of the competition after losing both its matches so far.\n\n\nEngland has already qualified whatever happens but will want to finish top of the group. That will require a win or even a draw if Croatia and Ghana also tie their match.\n\n\nThe Three Lions thrashed Panama 6-1 in the group stages back in 2018 and will be confident in recording a similar score, as they look to shake off the concerns that came with their 0-0 draw to Ghana last time out.\n\n\nYou can also expect England to make a few changes to the starting lineup as it looks to rest some key stars who are battling minor injuries.\n\n\nCroatia vs. Ghana (Group L)\n\n\n\nWhen? 5 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Philadelphia Stadium (Lincoln Financial Field), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA\n\n\nBoth Croatia and Ghana know that a win will be good enough to see them through to the next phase, as the group runner-up at least.\n\n\nA draw in this match would suit the Black Stars as well, with the African side a point ahead of its opponent as things stand.\n\n\nA loss for either side still might not be the end of the world, with both in a position to progress as a lucky loser. Defeat for the Vatreni would leave it sweating, though, and it would require a favorable run of results in the other matches.\n\n\nCape Verde is the World Cup’s Cinderella\n\n\n\nFrom CNN’s Kyle Feldscher:\n\n\nOK, back to everyone’s new second favorite team.\n\n\nCape Verde is a nation of about 500,000 people, an island nation off of Africa’s west coast. Let’s be kind and say expectations for The Blue Sharks were low at their debut in the World Cup.\n\n\nManager Pedro Leitão Brito – better known as Bubista – told CNN Sports in May his aim at the tournament was to show that “nothing is impossible.” Well, job done.\n\n\nCape Verde earned three draws in the group stage – the shocking Spain result, running with Uruguay in the second match and ending up in a scoreless draw with Saudi Arabia in Houston on Friday. In all honesty, the Cape Verdeans seemed the team more likely to score in their final match and had multiple opportunities to win it.\n\n\nTheir match with Saudi Arabia ended and there were still some ticks left on the clock in Zapopan, where Spain was leading Uruguay. Cape Verde stayed on the field to wait for the final result, hoping that the Spanish would hold on against the desperate Uruguayans who were trying to avoid a second-straight crash out in the World Cup group stage. They gathered around a staff member with the game streaming on his phone, a full team staring at a small screen to see what their future held.\n\n\nWhen the final whistle blew, the emotions poured out. The Cape Verdeans cried and hugged to massive cheers, soaking in the atmosphere as they become the first World Cup debutants to go to the knockout stage since 2010. The scenes of joy and jubilation around NRG Stadium were absolutely incredible, the kind of thing that makes this tournament the biggest thing in global sports.\n\n\nMany, many miles south, the Uruguayans were also in tears and hugging but for a much different reason. A catastrophic World Cup came to an end in the worst way, frustrated by a Spain side that really didn’t have all that much to play for as it was assured of progressing to the knockout rounds before the match begin. The scenes of heartbreak were the other side of the World Cup coin; it was a tough watch.\n\n\nIt’s the most unlikely scenario out of Group H as those Uruguayans will now go home and Cape Verde will head to Miami for a win-or-go-home Round of 32 contest.\n\n\nWaiting for them in the Sunshine State? Messi and Argentina. Cinderella vs. the defending World Cup champions – who could have seen it coming?\n\n\nWATCH: The art, mind and craft behind the penalty shootout – Part one\n\n\n\nCNN World Sport’s Don Riddell discusses the key to mastering penalty shootouts with Geir Jordet, professor at the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences.\n\n\nColombia vs. Portugal (Group K)\n\n\n\nWhen? 7:30 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Miami Stadium (Hard Rock Stadium), Miami Gardens, Florida, USA\n\n\nBy CNN’s Emile Nuh\n\n\nColombia has already booked its place in the knockout round after winning both of its first two games and sits top of Group K with six points.\n\n\nDespite thumping Uzbekistan 5-0 in Houston on Tuesday, Portugal’s draw with DR Congo in its opening game means it enters this fixture second in the group with four points.\n\n\nBut Roberto Martínez’s side has basically already qualified for the knockout round, as Congo would have to blow out Uzbekistan and hope Portugal loses to displace the Seleção in second.\n\n\nAnd even if that unlikely scenario comes to pass, Portugal would likely still qualify as one of the eight best third-place finishers anyway.\n\n\nLos Cafeteros just need to avoid a loss to finish as Group K champions, while Portugal needs to win. Expect Cristiano Ronaldo & Co. to come out firing in this one.\n\n\nDR Congo vs. Uzbekistan (Group K)\n\n\n\nWhen? 7:30 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Atlanta Stadium (Mercedes-Benz Stadium), Atlanta, Georgia, USA\n\n\nBy CNN’s Emile Nuh\n\n\nAlthough unlikely, DR Congo could still finish as the Group K runner-up as its head-to-head record with Portugal is even, so if Les Léopards manage to win by six over Uzbekistan and the Seleção loses, the runner-up spot is theirs.\n\n\nBut realistically that won’t happen, and the DRC will be aiming to advance as one of the eight best third-place finishers. A win should do that for them.\n\n\nUzbekistan has a real mountain to climb, as the White Wolves’ goal difference of -7 means they will need to complete a historic rout of Congo and hope other results go their way just to advance through to a lucky third-place spot.\n\n\nBut seeing as Uzbekistan conceded eight goals in its first two group games and scored just once, it looks like a long shot to say the least. The team is likely heading home after Sunday’s game.\n\n\nAlgeria vs. Austria (Group J)\n\n\n\nWhen? 10 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Kansas City Stadium (Arrowhead Stadium), Kansas City, Missouri, USA\n\n\nBy CNN’s Emile Nuh\n\n\nAs we said earlier, this game will definitely be one to keep an eye on, as Algeria and Austria both sit level on three points behind defending champion Argentina.\n\n\nIt had all looked quite bleak for Algeria after its first match of the tournament. The game ended 3-0 to Argentina – with a Lionel Messi hat-trick – and some of the defending looked really concerning from the African side.\n\n\nBut a comeback win against Jordan has made progressing to the Round of 32 a possibility. Austria has also lost to Messi and Co. and beaten Jordan. Who knows how this one will turn out.\n\n\nJordan vs. Argentina (Group J)\n\n\n\nWhen? 10 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Dallas Stadium (AT&T Stadium), Arlington, Texas, USA\n\n\nBy CNN’s Emile Nuh\n\n\nMeanwhile, there is no real jeopardy in this one whatsoever, as Jordan is already out of the tournament and Argentina is already through to the knockout rounds as Group J champion.\n\n\nOn paper, this is also the easiest fixture for the defending champion, so head coach Lionel Scaloni will use this game to rest key players – most importantly 39-year-old Messi – and give minutes to fringe squad members and those who are yet to feature at this tournament.\n\n\nIt’s not unfeasible that we could see an entirely different starting 11 for the Albiceleste than the one that beat Austria 2-0.\n\n\nFor Jordan, it’s just about ending what has been a disappointing tournament on a high – though that seems unlikely.\n\n\nThe Final Whistle: The West Coast World Cup\n\n\n\nOur Kyle Feldscher is back from Southern California after a quick trip for USA-Turkey and has some thoughts about the differing viewing experience for fans in the Pacific Time Zone.\n\n\nOne of the major discussion points throughout this tournament – especially in Europe – has been about game times with many kickoffs coming late for the US East Coast or overnight for Europeans.\n\n\nA few days in Los Angeles this week made me realize: This is really the West Coast World Cup.\n\n\nI went to a bar in Manhattan Beach on Wednesday night to watch Mexico take on the Czech Republic, a game that ended at 11 p.m. ET or 4 a.m. in London. But when it finished up in Southern California, the light in the sky was only just starting to fade.\n\n\nFor many soccer fans in the US, the World Cup is about waking up with the Beautiful Game and watching the first games with coffee, the second game with lunch and the third game just before heading out of the office (or, if you’re sneaky, at an early happy hour). The onslaught of games during this group stage has meant the day’s action often starts with lunch and is still going long after much of the country is asleep.\n\n\nBut it’s perfect out west. Truly, they’ve got it made for a viewing experience. The latest games are played in West Coast primetime and the biggest matches are easily accessible – and don’t necessarily require bleary eyes for viewing.\n\n\nThe host cities on the West Coast – Vancouver, Seattle, Santa Clara and Los Angeles – are nearing the end of their World Cup runs. The Bay Area will host USA-Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday, the final match in Santa Clara. Vancouver and Seattle each have a Round of 32 and a Round of 16 game and Los Angeles has two Round of 32 matches before a quarterfinal on July 10.\n\n\nAfter that, the tournament fully shifts eastward and timings become increasingly manageable for East Coasters and Europeans. But the West Coast soccer fans will have relished their time in the World Cup sun.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

The scenes of heartbreak were the other side of the World Cup coin; it was a tough watch.\n\n\nIt’s the most unlikely scenario out of Group H as those Uruguayans will now go home and Cape Verde will head to Miami for a win-or-go-home Round of 32 contest.\n\n\nWaiting for them in the Sunshine State? Messi and Argentina. Cinderella vs. the defending World Cup champions – who could have seen it coming?\n\n\nWATCH: The art, mind and craft behind the penalty shootout – Part one\n\n\n\nCNN World Sport’s Don Riddell discusses the key to mastering penalty shootouts with Geir Jordet, professor at the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences.\n\n\nColombia vs. Portugal (Group K)\n\n\n\nWhen? 7:30 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Miami Stadium (Hard Rock Stadium), Miami Gardens, Florida, USA\n\n\nBy CNN’s Emile Nuh\n\n\nColombia has already booked its place in the knockout round after winning both of its first two games and sits top of Group K with six points.\n\n\nDespite thumping Uzbekistan 5-0 in Houston on Tuesday, Portugal’s draw with DR Congo in its opening game means it enters this fixture second in the group with four points.\n\n\nBut Roberto Martínez’s side has basically already qualified for the knockout round, as Congo would have to blow out Uzbekistan and hope Portugal loses to displace the Seleção in second.\n\n\nAnd even if that unlikely scenario comes to pass, Portugal would likely still qualify as one of the eight best third-place finishers anyway.\n\n\nLos Cafeteros just need to avoid a loss to finish as Group K champions, while Portugal needs to win. Expect Cristiano Ronaldo & Co. to come out firing in this one.\n\n\nDR Congo vs. Uzbekistan (Group K)\n\n\n\nWhen? 7:30 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Atlanta Stadium (Mercedes-Benz Stadium), Atlanta, Georgia, USA\n\n\nBy CNN’s Emile Nuh\n\n\nAlthough unlikely, DR Congo could still finish as the Group K runner-up as its head-to-head record with Portugal is even, so if Les Léopards manage to win by six over Uzbekistan and the Seleção loses, the runner-up spot is theirs.\n\n\nBut realistically that won’t happen, and the DRC will be aiming to advance as one of the eight best third-place finishers. A win should do that for them.\n\n\nUzbekistan has a real mountain to climb, as the White Wolves’ goal difference of -7 means they will need to complete a historic rout of Congo and hope other results go their way just to advance through to a lucky third-place spot.\n\n\nBut seeing as Uzbekistan conceded eight goals in its first two group games and scored just once, it looks like a long shot to say the least. The team is likely heading home after Sunday’s game.\n\n\nAlgeria vs. Austria (Group J)\n\n\n\nWhen? 10 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Kansas City Stadium (Arrowhead Stadium), Kansas City, Missouri, USA\n\n\nBy CNN’s Emile Nuh\n\n\nAs we said earlier, this game will definitely be one to keep an eye on, as Algeria and Austria both sit level on three points behind defending champion Argentina.\n\n\nIt had all looked quite bleak for Algeria after its first match of the tournament. The game ended 3-0 to Argentina – with a Lionel Messi hat-trick – and some of the defending looked really concerning from the African side.\n\n\nBut a comeback win against Jordan has made progressing to the Round of 32 a possibility. Austria has also lost to Messi and Co. and beaten Jordan. Who knows how this one will turn out.\n\n\nJordan vs. Argentina (Group J)\n\n\n\nWhen? 10 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Dallas Stadium (AT&T Stadium), Arlington, Texas, USA\n\n\nBy CNN’s Emile Nuh\n\n\nMeanwhile, there is no real jeopardy in this one whatsoever, as Jordan is already out of the tournament and Argentina is already through to the knockout rounds as Group J champion.\n\n\nOn paper, this is also the easiest fixture for the defending champion, so head coach Lionel Scaloni will use this game to rest key players – most importantly 39-year-old Messi – and give minutes to fringe squad members and those who are yet to feature at this tournament.\n\n\nIt’s not unfeasible that we could see an entirely different starting 11 for the Albiceleste than the one that beat Austria 2-0.\n\n\nFor Jordan, it’s just about ending what has been a disappointing tournament on a high – though that seems unlikely.\n\n\nThe Final Whistle: The West Coast World Cup\n\n\n\nOur Kyle Feldscher is back from Southern California after a quick trip for USA-Turkey and has some thoughts about the differing viewing experience for fans in the Pacific Time Zone.\n\n\nOne of the major discussion points throughout this tournament – especially in Europe – has been about game times with many kickoffs coming late for the US East Coast or overnight for Europeans.\n\n\nA few days in Los Angeles this week made me realize: This is really the West Coast World Cup.\n\n\nI went to a bar in Manhattan Beach on Wednesday night to watch Mexico take on the Czech Republic, a game that ended at 11 p.m. ET or 4 a.m. in London. But when it finished up in Southern California, the light in the sky was only just starting to fade.\n\n\nFor many soccer fans in the US, the World Cup is about waking up with the Beautiful Game and watching the first games with coffee, the second game with lunch and the third game just before heading out of the office (or, if you’re sneaky, at an early happy hour). The onslaught of games during this group stage has meant the day’s action often starts with lunch and is still going long after much of the country is asleep.\n\n\nBut it’s perfect out west. Truly, they’ve got it made for a viewing experience. The latest games are played in West Coast primetime and the biggest matches are easily accessible – and don’t necessarily require bleary eyes for viewing.\n\n\nThe host cities on the West Coast – Vancouver, Seattle, Santa Clara and Los Angeles – are nearing the end of their World Cup runs. The Bay Area will host USA-Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday, the final match in Santa Clara. Vancouver and Seattle each have a Round of 32 and a Round of 16 game and Los Angeles has two Round of 32 matches before a quarterfinal on July 10.\n\n\nAfter that, the tournament fully shifts eastward and timings become increasingly manageable for East Coasters and Europeans. But the West Coast soccer fans will have relished their time in the World Cup sun.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

Un festival comunitario en la ciudad de Washington, este sábado, por ejemplo, contará con una ceremonia de apertura indígena, una marcha que partirá de lo que antes se llamaba Plaza Black Lives Matter y puestos de registro de votantes.\n\n\nEn su afán por dejar su huella en el 250 aniversario, Trump ha trastocado planes que llevaban años gestándose, ha destinado agencias y fondos federales a su extravagante y patriótica visión, y ha provocado indignación por lo que se ha convertido, a ojos de sus críticos, en una celebración partidista más centrada en el presidente que en el país.\n\n\n“Es inútil esperar algo unificador y emocionante de Washington”, dijo John Dichtl, presidente y director ejecutivo de la Asociación Estadounidense para la Historia Estatal y Local, una organización sin fines de lucro que asesoró a los estados en la planificación de su 250 aniversario.\n\n\nEn todo el país, algunos planificadores estatales y locales han desvinculado sus celebraciones de lo que suceda en la capital. Y en Washington, Next250 llevará a cabo su programa alternativo a pocos pasos de la Casa Blanca, mientras que el National Mall se utiliza para la “Gran Feria Estatal Estadounidense” de Trump.\n\n\n“La administración no es dueña del 250 aniversario, ni de la historia de este país”, dijo Linda Sarsour, una de las organizadoras de Next250. La activista, conocida por ayudar a organizar la Marcha de las Mujeres en Washington durante el primer mandato de Trump, ha generado controversia por su oposición a Israel.\n\n\nPero el sábado, dice, “Saldremos a decir: ‘Estamos todos juntos en esto, y este país nos pertenece a todos’”.\n\n\nEl primer indicio de que Trump tomaría el control del 250 aniversario se produjo un viernes por la tarde del pasado diciembre, cuando Trump enumeró una larga lista de actividades para el aniversario de la nación en un video publicado en su cuenta oficial de Twitter, Truth Social.\n\n\n“2026 será una celebración de Estados Unidos como ninguna otra, honrando a nuestra nación y toda su gloria”, declaró. “Para ayudar a llevar a cabo estos emocionantes planes, hemos creado una alianza público-privada. Se llama Freedom 250”, dijo.\n\n\nEl anuncio llegó unas semanas después de que Trump sufriera un aparente revés. El hombre que había elegido para dirigir America250 —una organización sin fines de lucro encargada de las celebraciones federales del 250 aniversario, supervisada por un comité del Congreso— acababa de ser despedido.\n\n\nLa nueva organización sin fines de lucro de Trump, Freedom 250, le aseguraría las celebraciones del 4 de julio que tanto anhelaba.\n\n\nAdemás, la organización no tendría que acatar las mismas normas que America250. Si bien Freedom 250 es una filial no partidista de la Fundación de Parques Nacionales, sus actividades están supervisadas en gran medida por altos asesores de Trump.\n\n\nAl igual que America250, puede mantener el anonimato de sus donantes; sin embargo, no está supervisada por un panel bipartidista. En mayo, el secretario del Interior, Doug Burgum, declaró a Dana Bash de CNN que Freedom 250 se gestiona desde la Casa Blanca y que solo la organización puede decidir revelar a sus donantes.\n\n\nPero Richard Painter, exabogado de ética de la Casa Blanca durante la presidencia de George W. Bush, afirmó en una entrevista que le parecía “problemático” que la Casa Blanca estableciera relaciones con organizaciones sin fines de lucro sin la autorización del Congreso. Este acuerdo ha generado interrogantes entre grupos de vigilancia y demócratas del Congreso, quienes ahora investigan la financiación de Freedom 250.\n\n\nUn portavoz de la Fundación de Parques Nacionales declaró a CNN: “Los fondos públicos y privados del programa Freedom 250 recibidos o gastados durante el presente ejercicio fiscal se contabilizarán mediante los procesos estándar de auditoría e informes financieros de la Fundación”.\n\n\nFreedom 250 enumera alrededor de dos docenas de patrocinadores en su sitio web. Varios de ellos, como Palantir, Lockheed Martin y Oracle, tienen importantes contratos federales para proporcionar datos y servicios de defensa. Otros, como Ultimate Fighting Championship y Penske Corp., están dirigidos por aliados de Trump, Dana White y Roger Penske. Estos últimos organizan sus propios eventos relacionados con el 250 aniversario: la pelea de UFC en el jardín de la Casa Blanca este mes y una carrera de IndyCar en agosto. Las bebidas energéticas Phorm de White también se venden en la feria.\n\n\nCuando se le preguntó si el grupo se comprometería a revelar públicamente a sus donantes, el director ejecutivo de Freedom 250, Keith Krach, declaró a CNN en una entrevista: “Para nosotros, la rendición de cuentas y la transparencia son fundamentales”.\n\n\n“Una parte importante de mi función es asegurar que llevemos las cuentas de forma impecable”, añadió. “No se trata solo de decir ‘Aquí están’, sino de asegurarnos de obtener el máximo rendimiento de la inversión”.\n\n\nLos eventos de Freedom 250 se han adaptado a los gustos culturales de Trump y han brindado a los grupos conservadores una plataforma para moldear la narrativa en torno a las celebraciones, todo para “renovar el orgullo nacional”.\n\n\nUna flota de seis museos móviles, llamados “Freedom Trucks”, ha recorrido el país, narrando la historia de la Revolución Americana a través de arte con inteligencia artificial y videos que afirman que “los principios fundamentales de Estados Unidos tienen sus raíces en las tradiciones occidentales y judeocristianas”. El contenido fue producido por organizaciones educativas conservadoras como Hillsdale College y Prager U, las cuales aseguran no haber recibido pago alguno.\n\n\nEn mayo, Freedom 250 organizó un evento de oración centrado en el cristianismo en el National Mall, y los Patriot Games, una competencia deportiva juvenil donde dos adolescentes ganadores se repartirán un premio de $250,000, también están programados para agosto.\n\n\nDespués de que varios artistas, alegando preocupaciones por el partidismo, cancelaran su participación en el acto inaugural de la Gran Feria Estatal Americana, el presidente celebró un mitin el miércoles, donde fue la figura principal. Fue presentado por Lee Greenwood, un cantante de música country cuyo éxito “God Bless the USA” es uno de los favoritos de Trump.\n\n\n“Vamos a proclamar que Estados Unidos sigue siendo grande, y vamos a intentar que siga siéndolo”, declaró Greenwood a CNN antes del evento.\n\n\nEl evento principal del 4 de julio en el National Mall, llamado “Salute to America”, incluye un desfile, demostraciones militares y otras actividades.\n\n\nTrump le pidió a Freedom 250 que organizara el espectáculo de fuegos artificiales esa noche, y Krach prometió que sería “cinco veces más grande” que el espectáculo habitual del 4 de julio en Washington D.C., en su intento por batir un récord mundial Guinness.\n\n\nLas ambiciones de Freedom 250 van más allá de los eventos en la capital, y ha tomado medidas para posicionarse como el grupo no partidista que “lidera la celebración” del cumpleaños de Estados Unidos ante la opinión pública, compitiendo con America250 por la atención nacional, los patrocinadores y los fondos públicos.\n\n\nSemanas después del lanzamiento de Freedom 250, las agencias federales comenzaron a eliminar los logotipos de America250 de sus sitios web, firmas de correo electrónico y cuentas de redes sociales. Se retiraron las pancartas con el lema America250 y, según consta en los registros gubernamentales, la administración destinó fondos para la decoración de Freedom 250 en edificios federales de todo el país.\n\n\nMientras Freedom 250 ganaba notoriedad, America250 se quedó sin financiación federal.\n\n\nEl Congreso ha asignado US$ 150 millones para las celebraciones del 250 aniversario este año en la Ley “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”, pero America250 solo ha recibido 25 millones hasta el momento. En cambio, los registros federales muestran que se han enviado 65 millones de dólares a la Fundación de Parques Nacionales, que puede distribuir los fondos a Freedom 250.\n\n\nLa senadora Lisa Murkowski, republicana miembro de la comisión del Congreso, presionó a Burgum durante una audiencia del Congreso en abril sobre la falta de fondos destinados a America250. Él le respondió que el Departamento del Interior estaba “trabajando con la Casa Blanca” y que le informaría al respecto.\n\n\n“Freedom 250 representa un desafío para nosotros”, declaró la representante demócrata Bonnie Watson Coleman, miembro de la comisión America250 desde 2019. Freedom 250 sirve al presidente, a “su política, a sus donantes y a sus proyectos personales”, pero “America250 se centra en asegurar que esto gire en torno a nuestro país, a nuestra gente y a nuestro mensaje para las próximas generaciones”, afirmó.\n\n\nFreedom 250 ha defendido repetidamente la participación de Trump en las celebraciones y ha señalado que los presidentes, desde Ulysses S. Grant en 1876 hasta Gerald Ford en 1976, han desempeñado un papel importante en las conmemoraciones de la fundación de la nación.\n\n\nSin embargo, bajo la presidencia de Trump, las celebraciones del aniversario se han fragmentado.\n\n\nAmerica250 ha seguido adelante con sus planes para una campaña nacional de servicio y una serie de eventos del 4 de julio que se llevarán a cabo en todo el país. Se celebrará un concierto en Los Ángeles con artistas de renombre como Chris Stapleton y The Smashing Pumpkins.\n\n\nUn portavoz de America250 declaró a CNN que, para estos eventos, “se espera que la mayor parte del apoyo provenga de fuentes privadas”.\n\n\nEl recinto de la Gran Feria Estatal Americana de Trump está ahora plagado de recordatorios de los estados que se han distanciado de Freedom 250. Varios stands que representan a los estados que declinaron enviar delegaciones permanecen prácticamente vacíos, con fondos escasamente decorados y unas pocas sillas.\n\n\nAlgunos estados citaron motivos financieros para no participar. Los organizadores de Oregón estaban preocupados de que el evento fuera “un asunto más partidista de lo que se había presentado inicialmente”.\n\n\nEl gobernador de Pensilvania, Josh Shapiro, declaró a The New Republic que su estado se retiró después de que sus asesores tuvieran dificultades para encontrar un grupo que los representara, porque “el presidente ha politizado esto hasta tal punto que las empresas no quieren participar”.\n\n\nMientras tanto, los gobernadores republicanos han elogiado la participación de sus estados en la feria.\n\n\nDichtl, de la Asociación Estadounidense para la Historia Estatal y Local, afirmó que los planificadores estatales y locales estaban más centrados en lo que sucedía en sus propias comunidades que en Washington, pero aún teme que el tono general de la celebración del 250 aniversario se haya vuelto partidista. Comentó que el bicentenario de 1976 fue un momento complejo pero a la vez unificador, donde la reconciliación nacional parecía posible.\n\n\n“El 250 aniversario no transmite esa sensación”, declaró.\n\n\nEste fin de semana, los habitantes de Washington podrán elegir entre diferentes celebraciones del 250 aniversario. Algunos optarán por subirse a la imponente noria de 33 metros o tomarse una foto con una réplica del arco triunfal de Trump. Los organizadores esperan miles de personas en el evento de Next250, donde habrá coros y música de mariachi, discursos y talleres para hacer pulseras.\n\n\nTrump ha presentado el 250 aniversario como “la fiesta de cumpleaños más inolvidable que jamás haya visto un país”.\n\n\nAl inaugurar la Gran Feria Estatal Estadounidense esta semana, insinuó que aún hay más por venir. “El 4 de julio tendremos el mayor espectáculo de todos en el National Mall. Su presidente favorito dará un discurso, así que por favor, ¡no se lo pierdan!”, dijo.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

Las Fuerzas Armadas estadounidenses no han confirmado ningún ataque, pero estos incidentes son los primeros desde que se firmó el memorando de entendimiento la semana pasada.\n\n\nCNN se ha puesto en contacto con la Casa Blanca y el CENTCOM para solicitar comentarios.\n\n\nBahrein, que alberga una base militar estadounidense, informó de ataques con drones iraníes en su territorio a primera hora de este sábado. El Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores del país condenó los ataques calificándolos de “violación flagrante de la soberanía de Bahrein”. No estaba claro cuál era el objetivo y no ha habido comentarios iniciales por parte de Teherán.\n\n\nPor otra parte, un petrolero fue alcanzado también este sábado en el estrecho de Ormuz por un “proyectil no identificado”, según la organización Operaciones de Comercio Marítimo del Reino Unido (UKMTO). El buque sufrió daños, pero ningún miembro de la tripulación resultó herido, informó la UKMTO, que recomendó a los barcos transitar por la zona con precaución.\n\n\nEstos acontecimientos representan el último episodio de una serie de ataques mutuos en torno al estrecho, lo que genera incertidumbre sobre el acuerdo entre EE.UU. e Irán firmado a principios de este mes, el cual estipula la restauración gradual del tráfico marítimo normal.\n\n\nEl Centro Conjunto de Información Marítima (JMIC), supervisado por la Marina de EE.UU., elevó este sábado el nivel de amenaza en el estrecho a “sustancial”, una medida adoptada tras los ataques a buques mercantes. Asimismo, se ha ampliado una ruta a través del estrecho de Ormuz, cerca de Omán, para permitir un mayor flujo simultáneo de tráfico marítimo en ambas direcciones, indicó el JMIC, lo que sugiere que EE.UU. está desafiando el control de Irán sobre la vía navegable.\n\n\nLos ataques de Irán de este sábado se produjeron después de que las Fuerzas Armadas estadounidenses llevaran a cabo ataques el viernes contra objetivos militares iraníes en los alrededores del estrecho de Ormuz. “Aeronaves estadounidenses atacaron instalaciones de almacenamiento de misiles y drones, así como emplazamientos de radares costeros iraníes”, declaró el CENTCOM. “La agresión injustificada de las fuerzas iraníes contra el transporte marítimo comercial violó claramente el alto el fuego”.\n\n\nLa escalada comenzó el jueves con un ataque iraní contra un buque comercial cerca del estrecho de Ormuz, incidente que el presidente estadounidense, Donald Trump, calificó de “violación insensata” del acuerdo para poner fin a la guerra con Irán. Un funcionario estadounidense restó importancia a la posibilidad de una escalada tras los ataques, declarando a la CNN que estos no reflejan un retorno a operaciones de combate a gran escala, al menos por el momento.\n\n\nEl vicepresidente J. D. Vance —quien desempeñó un papel clave en la negociación del acuerdo con Irán anunciado la semana pasada— afirmó el viernes por la noche que “la violencia será respondida con violencia”.\n\n\nLos recientes ataques han vuelto a desestabilizar el estrecho de Ormuz, uno de los puntos de paso marítimo más estratégicos del mundo, en un contexto marcado por el frágil memorando de entendimiento suscrito entre Estados Unidos e Irán.\n\n\nEl memorando estipula que Irán realizará “las gestiones necesarias, empleando sus mejores esfuerzos”, para garantizar el paso seguro de buques comerciales por el estrecho de Ormuz, y que el tráfico en la zona recuperaría los niveles previos al inicio de la guerra. No obstante, el documento no detallaba las condiciones para el cumplimiento de dichos términos.\n\n\nAmbas partes han ofrecido interpretaciones divergentes sobre si Irán tendría derecho a cobrar tasas a los buques en tránsito. Trump ha insistido en que el paso por el estrecho permanecería libre de peajes, mientras que Teherán ha sostenido que tendrá derecho a cobrar a los barcos que lo atraviesen.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The US military has not confirmed any strikes but the exchanges are the first since the memorandum of understanding was signed last week.\n\n\n\nCNN has reached out to the White House and CENTCOM for comment.\n\n\n\nBahrain, which hosts a US military base, reported Iranian drone attacks on its territory early Saturday morning. The country’s foreign affairs ministry condemned the strikes as “a flagrant violation of Bahrain’s sovereignty.” The target was unclear and there has been no initial comment from Tehran.\n\n\n\nA tanker in the Strait of Hormuz was meanwhile struck Saturday by an “unidentified projectile,” according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO). The vessel sustained damage but all crew members were uninjured, UKMTO said, as it advised ships to transit the area with caution.\n\n\n\nThe developments mark the latest in a series of back-and-forth strikes centered around the strait, casting uncertainty over the US-Iran agreement signed earlier this month which stipulates the gradual restoration of normal marine traffic.\n\n\n\nThe Joint Maritime Information Center (JMIC), which is overseen by the US Navy, raised the threat level in the strait to “substantial” on Saturday, a step it said it took following attacks on merchant vessels. Meanwhile a route through the Strait of Hormuz near Oman has been expanded to allow for greater passage of the simultaneous flow of marine traffic in both directions, the JMIC said, suggesting the US is pushing back at Iran’s control over the waterway.\n\n\n\nIran’s Saturday attacks come after the US military conducted strikes on Friday against Iranian military targets around the Strait of Hormuz. “US aircraft struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites,” CENTCOM said. “The unwarranted aggression against commercial shipping by Iranian forces clearly violated the ceasefire.”\n\n\n\nThe escalation began with an Iranian attack on Thursday against a commercial vessel near the Strait of Hormuz, which US President Donald Trump described as a “foolish violation” of the agreement to end the war with Iran. A US official played down the prospect of escalation following the strikes, telling CNN they do not reflect a return to major combat operations, at least for now.\n\n\n\nVice President JD Vance — who took a lead role in negotiating the agreement with Iran announced last week — said Friday evening that “violence will be met with violence.”\n\n\n\nThe recent strikes have once again destabilized the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important shipping chokepoints, amid a fragile memorandum of understanding signed by the US and Iran.\n\n\n\nThe memorandum stipulates that Iran will make “arrangements using its best efforts” to ensure the safe passage of commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, and that traffic in the strait would return to the same volume as before the war began. However, it did not provide detailed conditions for fulfilling the terms.\n\n\n\nThe two sides have offered differing understandings of whether Iran would be able to charge fees for passing vessels. Trump has insisted the strait would remain toll-free, but Tehran has maintained it will have the right to charge passing ships.\n\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire & © 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Dan Sullivan is eligible to challenge the senator in the August primary, a judge ruled Friday, the latest turn in a drama surrounding the broader fight over control of the US Senate.\n\n\nSuperior Court Judge Thomas Matthews’ ruling overturns a June 15 decision by Division of Elections Director Carol Beecher to disqualify the challenger and keep him off the primary ballot. Matthews’ ruling can be appealed to the state Supreme Court.\n\n\nAttorneys for the state have said Tuesday is the deadline for a final ruling so that ballots for the Aug. 18 primary can be printed.\n\n\nThe judge ruled that the elections division’s decision to exclude Dan J. Sullivan because his candidacy was not “in good faith” was not based on the US Constitution, Alaska law or the Division’s own regulations.\n\n\n“Instead, the decision was based upon a new, previously unstated, ‘good faith’ criteria,” the judge wrote.\n\n\nThe retired teacher from the small fishing community of Petersburg filed to challenge the incumbent in May.\n\n\nAttorneys for the state did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Friday’s ruling. Jeffrey Robertson, Dan J. Sullivan’s attorney, said in an email he expects the Division of Elections to appeal the ruling and couldn’t comment until the Alaska Supreme Court rules on the case.\n\n\nThe controversy over the two Dan Sullivans has underscored the stakes involved in the incumbent’s reelection campaign. The Alaska race is one of about half a dozen US Senate races expected to be highly competitive in the fall, and the seat is one Democrats are trying to flip in their efforts to try to regain the majority.\n\n\nThe senator and his allies, including the National Republican Senatorial Committee, have condemned the challenger’s efforts to join the race, arguing his presence could confuse voters. Under Alaska’s election system, the top four candidates from the primary, regardless of party, move on to the ranked-choice November general election.\n\n\nThe senator has accused the challenger Sullivan of working with Democrats and the campaign of Democratic former US Rep. Mary Peltola — who is considered the senator’s main opponent — to sow confusion and boost Peltola’s chances. Peltola’s campaign and state Democrats have denied the allegation, as has the challenger.\n\n\nSen. Sullivan and Peltola are the highest-profile candidates in the crowded race and the only ones to report raising any money.\n\n\nBeecher, the elections director, has said she determined the challenger Sullivan is not eligible to run because his candidacy was not filed in good faith and instead was done with an intent to confuse voters. She said he had registered to vote as Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. and, in conjunction with his candidacy, changed his party affiliation to Republican. She also cited similarities between his campaign website and the senator’s, and his work with a consultant whose clients have included some Democrats. She did not mention finding any evidence of alleged coordination.\n\n\nIn arguing to keep the challenger disqualified, attorneys for the state pushed back on suggestions the ballot could be designed in a way to reduce voter confusion over two candidates with the same name and party running for the same office.\n\n\n“The Constitution does not require States to place a sham candidate on the ballot and then attempt to mitigate the damage through design choices,” attorney Rachel Witty, with the Alaska Department of Law, and outside attorneys Christopher Murray and Michael Francisco wrote in court filings.\n\n\nAttorneys for the challenger Sullivan argued that the US Constitution lays out three exclusive qualifications for the Senate, addressing only age, citizenship and residency. They said Beecher lacked the legal authority to boot their client off the ballot.\n\n\nThe challenger Sullivan has said that sharing a name and party affiliation with the incumbent gave him “an instant megaphone.” But the 69-year-old retired teacher and former U.S. Forest Service employee said he had considered a run for some time and had grown frustrated with the senator.\n\n\nHe initially was certified on the state’s candidate list as Dan J. Sullivan, with the senator listed as Dan S. Sullivan and identified as the incumbent.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

Wolf, CNN\n\n\nLa adhesión a la religión organizada está disminuyendo en Estados Unidos, pero los defensores de la derecha religiosa están ganando terreno en la administración Trump.\n\n\nUn informe publicado el viernes por la Comisión de Libertad Religiosa, creada por el presidente Donald Trump, sugiere derribar la barrera entre la Iglesia y el Estado en Estados Unidos mediante la asignación de más fondos públicos a organizaciones religiosas, otorgando así a las iglesias un papel más directo en la política.\n\n\nSin embargo, el argumento de los funcionarios de Trump de que Estados Unidos es una “nación cristiana” contradice los valores de los cristianos de izquierda, quienes consideran que el gobierno debería hacer más por ayudar a quienes lo necesitan.\n\n\nDos libros recientes —”Comunión”, la historia de conversión al catolicismo del vicepresidente J. D. Vance en la mediana edad, y “Los caminos torcidos enderezados”, del senador (y reverendo) Raphael Warnock— defienden estas visiones opuestas de la política basada en la fe.\n\n\nDesde la perspectiva de su conversión, Vance “aboga por priorizar a las familias sobre el producto interno bruto, limitar la migración, rechazar la renta básica universal y desalentar los abortos mejorando las condiciones para las nuevas madres y los niños pequeños”, escribe Steve Contorno de CNN.\n\n\nEl catolicismo conservador de Vance se asemeja a la fe evangélica que el Secretario de Defensa Pete Hegseth manifiesta abiertamente en asuntos políticos y de políticas públicas durante la administración Trump.\n\n\nComo muchos en la derecha religiosa, Vance ha adoptado una postura crítica hacia la izquierda estadounidense.\n\n\n“Durante décadas, la izquierda se ha esforzado por expulsar al cristianismo de la vida nacional”, declaró Vance en el homenaje a Charlie Kirk en Phoenix el año pasado. “Lo han expulsado de las escuelas, del lugar de trabajo, de los ámbitos fundamentales del espacio público. La libertad religiosa se transformó en libertad de no tener religión”.\n\n\nEn el mismo evento, impulsó la idea, popular en la administración Trump, de que, a pesar de la falta de religiosidad explícita en los documentos fundacionales de la nación, “por la gracia de Dios, siempre seremos una nación cristiana”.\n\n\nVance, si bien busca involucrar la religión en la política en ocasiones, también ha criticado al primer Papa estadounidense, líder espiritual de su iglesia, por denunciar la mano dura de la administración Trump en materia de inmigración y la guerra contra Irán.\n\n\nWarnock, por otro lado, además de ser senador estadounidense por Georgia, es pastor principal de la Iglesia Bautista Ebenezer, cuyo púlpito se hizo famoso gracias al reverendo Martin Luther King Jr.\n\n\nSe ha preguntado abiertamente cómo los líderes de la derecha pueden invocar su fe cristiana al mismo tiempo que aprueban las deportaciones masivas del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) de Trump y su proyecto de ley de recortes de impuestos y gastos, que prevé recortes a Medicaid y la asistencia alimentaria.\n\n\n“Me pregunto si la religión es más una puesta en escena que una acción sustantiva”, declaró Warnock a The New York Times en una entrevista de lanzamiento de su propia gira de presentación del libro.\n\n\nEn diciembre, le comentó algo similar a Laura Coates de CNN, cuando argumentó que los demócratas necesitan recuperar la base moral de la fe.\n\n\n“Creo que deberíamos apoyarnos en la fe”, afirmó Warnock. “No deberíamos dejar que el debate sobre la fe y los valores se centre en quienes son responsables de la mayor transferencia de riqueza en la historia de Estados Unidos, la que vimos con la Ley de la Gran y Hermosa”.\n\n\nPara Warnock, este es un argumento moral, pero apelar a los votantes religiosos es una táctica de supervivencia para los demócratas en un estado sureño como Georgia.\n\n\nUn tema central de la segunda etapa de Trump es que los estadounidenses necesitan más religión —y específicamente el cristianismo— en sus vidas. El presidente Donald Trump no es conocido por ser muy religioso, aunque se ganó el apoyo de la derecha religiosa en su camino a la Casa Blanca, en parte al promover la idea de que su resurgimiento político y su supervivencia a los intentos de asesinato se debieron a la intervención divina.\n\n\nA esto se suma el lenguaje bíblico en las conferencias de prensa de Hegseth sobre la guerra, los llamados de funcionarios de Trump para integrar más la religión en la vida pública y el uso del Departamento de Justicia para defenderse de lo que consideran un sesgo anticristiano.\n\n\nParalelamente al auge de un gobierno estadounidense tan centrado en el cristianismo, se observa una disminución en el número de votantes que se identifican como cristianos.\n\n\nEn las elecciones de 2016 que llevaron a Trump al poder por primera vez, el 23 % de los votantes se identificaron como católicos y el 52 % como protestantes o de otra denominación cristiana, según las encuestas a pie de urna. El porcentaje de votantes que se identificaron como protestantes o pertenecientes a otra denominación cristiana disminuyó en 2024, cuando solo el 43 % se declaró así, según las encuestas a pie de urna, mientras que el 21 % se identificó como católico. El porcentaje de votantes evangélicos blancos pasó del 26 % en 2016 al 23% en 2024, lo cual no representa un cambio significativo, pero el porcentaje de personas sin afiliación religiosa aumentó del 15 % en 2016 al 24 %, casi una cuarta parte, en 2024.\n\n\nLe pregunté a Melissa Deckman, directora ejecutiva del Instituto de Investigación de Religión Pública (PRRI), sobre los mensajes contrapuestos de Vance y Warnock y las tendencias generales en la religión estadounidense.\n\n\n“La mezcla de religión y política ha alcanzado un nivel sin precedentes en la historia reciente de Estados Unidos”, afirmó, argumentando que, si bien los presidentes republicanos modernos anteriores han mostrado cierto apoyo superficial a la derecha religiosa, Trump ha actuado con mayor contundencia en su favor, tanto en sus políticas como en sus nombramientos para la Corte Suprema.\n\n\n“Algo está ocurriendo dentro de la composición actual del Partido Republicano: la toma de control por parte de MAGA”, señaló.\n\n\n“Muchos dentro del movimiento MAGA, dentro del Partido Republicano, imaginan un mundo donde Estados Unidos se identifique más como una nación cristiana con objetivos cristianos conservadores”, añadió.\n\n\nEsto concuerda con la idea más controvertida del nacionalismo cristiano, una ideología arraigada en la creencia de que Estados Unidos se fundó como una nación cristiana y que sus leyes e instituciones deben reflejar los valores cristianos.\n\n\nEl PRRI publicó recientemente el último de una serie de estudios sobre la identidad estadounidense, que incluye algunas tendencias interesantes:\n\n\n► Los republicanos se sienten cada vez más cómodos con el término nacionalismo cristiano.\n\n\nSegún el informe:\n\n\nSolo el 25 % de los estadounidenses tiene una opinión favorable del término nacionalismo cristiano, en comparación con… Casi la mitad de los republicanos (48 %)… el 21 % de los independientes y apenas el 10 % de los demócratas. Si bien el apoyo entre los independientes y los demócratas se ha mantenido relativamente estable desde 2022, los republicanos están adoptando cada vez más el término, con un aumento de 12 puntos en las opiniones favorables, del 36 % al 48 %.\n\n\nSegún Deckman, el PRRI formuló a los participantes una serie de cinco preguntas y, en función de sus respuestas, los clasificó como partidarios, simpatizantes, escépticos o detractores del nacionalismo cristiano.\n\n\n► Los demócratas son menos propensos a percibir un excepcionalismo divino estadounidense.\n\n\nSegún el informe:\n\n\nSi bien el consenso republicano sobre el papel especial que Dios le ha otorgado a Estados Unidos se ha mantenido relativamente estable —pasando del 75 % en 2012 al 63 % en 2022, con aproximadamente siete de cada diez personas de acuerdo hoy en día—, el apoyo a los demócratas se ha desplomado, cayendo del 60 % a tan solo el 27 %. El apoyo a los independientes también disminuyó, alcanzando un mínimo del 35 % en 2020 antes de una modesta recuperación al 40 % en 2026.\n\n\n“El Partido Demócrata, en muchos sentidos, es menos religioso”, afirmó Deckman. “También es más diverso religiosamente. Suele haber muchos más no cristianos dentro del Partido Demócrata en comparación con el Partido Republicano, pero también suele haber una gran representación de cristianos de color”, añadió.\n\n\n► La mayoría de los estadounidenses aún prefiere la diversidad religiosa\n\n\nSegún el informe:\n\n\nCasi dos tercios de los estadounidenses (64 %) preferirían que Estados Unidos fuera una nación compuesta por personas de diversas religiones, en comparación con el 34 % que prefiere que sea una nación compuesta principalmente por personas que profesan la fe cristiana. Esto representa un descenso del pluralismo desde 2022, el primer año en que PRRI formuló la pregunta, cuando el 73 % manifestó su preferencia por una amplia variedad de religiones. Hoy en día, una clara mayoría de republicanos, el 60%, prefiere que Estados Unidos esté compuesto por cristianos, frente al 52 % en 2022.\n\n\nCuando le pregunté a Deckman qué prevé que ocurra con la religión en Estados Unidos en los próximos diez años, señaló el aumento del número de personas, especialmente mujeres, que no practican ninguna religión.\n\n\n“Las mujeres jóvenes están abandonando las etiquetas religiosas por muchas razones”, afirmó Deckman, añadiendo que muchas mujeres que abandonan la religión organizada están descontentas con el enfoque de sus religiones respecto a los temas LGBTQ+ y con la cantidad de personas que se identifican como tales. Las tradiciones religiosas ven a las mujeres.\n\n\nHa habido periodos de resurgimiento religioso en la historia de Estados Unidos, pero los datos que ella observa no sugieren que esto esté ocurriendo actualmente, en parte debido a un cambio generacional que se aleja de la religión organizada.\n\n\n“Si no has crecido en una tradición religiosa, lo más probable es que no te vuelvas religioso más adelante en la vida”, dijo, añadiendo que Vance es una excepción a esa regla.\n\n\nSi bien los datos no muestran un resurgimiento religioso, argumentó que los estadounidenses podrían necesitar el tipo de conexión que ofrece la religión organizada.\n\n\n“Creo que los estadounidenses anhelan una experiencia auténtica cara a cara”, dijo. “A medida que nos aislamos más y pasamos más tiempo en línea, parece que los lugares de culto podrían ser ese tipo de espacio donde las personas podrían tener una interacción significativa, y hay muchas cosas positivas que, como sabes, proporciona ser parte de una comunidad de fe”.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

El accidente causó la muerte del piloto y heridas a otras 13 personas.\n\n\nEl impacto hizo que fragmentos de vidrio y restos de la aeronave cayeran cientos de metros hacia las calles, justo cuando los empleados de oficinas salían para el fin de semana, provocando pánico en el corazón de la ciudad más protegida de China.\n\n\nPero poco tiempo después, parecía que no había pasado nada.\n\n\nTodas las referencias al incidente —así como las impactantes imágenes del mismo— habían sido eliminadas de las redes sociales chinas. Inicialmente, el Gobierno no reconoció públicamente que hubiera ocurrido ningún incidente. Los medios estatales —incluida la cadena nacional CCTV, cuya sede se encuentra justo enfrente del lugar del accidente— no mencionaron el suceso.\n\n\nEsto se debe a la labor del ejército de censores de China y al control obsesivo de las autoridades comunistas sobre la información, especialmente en lo que respecta a acontecimientos que, a su juicio, podrían atraer atención negativa o acarrear consecuencias adversas.\n\n\nEl vacío informativo dejó numerosas preguntas sin respuesta para quienes presenciaron el suceso o vieron noticias sobre él. Durante casi un día se desconoció cuántas personas habían resultado heridas en el incidente.\n\n\nEste sábado por la tarde (hora local), medios vinculados al Gobierno de Beijing informaron que una “avioneta deportiva ligera monomotor y biplaza chocó en pleno vuelo contra un edificio de gran altura”, y que el piloto —la única persona a bordo— había fallecido, mientras que otras 13 personas resultaron heridas en el lugar. Se indicó que el incidente estaba siendo “investigado”.\n\n\nTodavía se desconoce si el accidente fue fortuito o intencionado.\n\n\nQuizás lo más preocupante para las autoridades es que el suceso también ha planteado interrogantes sobre cómo logró el piloto sobrevolar la blindada capital china, donde reside la mayor parte de la élite del Partido Comunista y donde incluso el vuelo de drones está prácticamente prohibido.\n\n\nLa Torre CITIC tiene 528 metros de altura (equivalentes a 1.732 pies). Es el edificio más alto de Beijing desde 2018 y domina el horizonte urbano. El edificio alberga al conglomerado estatal chino CITIC Group y al gigante tecnológico Alibaba; además, el vecindario circundante es una zona privilegiada de la ciudad, frecuentada por extranjeros y diplomáticos. Las embajadas de países que van desde el Reino Unido hasta Vietnam se encuentran a pocos pasos, al igual que importantes instituciones financieras mundiales, incluidas las oficinas del Banco Mundial y de la IFC en China.\n\n\nEl accidente ocurrió el viernes a última hora de la tarde, durante la hora pico. Las imágenes compartidas en línea —en el breve lapso previo a la intervención de la censura— mostraban una avioneta chocando contra la parte superior del edificio, también conocido como China Zun, lo que provocó que escombros y la sección de la cola de la aeronave cayeran sobre la calle.\n\n\nLas imágenes en línea que mostraban la matrícula de la aeronave parecían indicar que se trataba de una aeronave ligera deportiva de fabricación nacional, una Sunward SA 60L Aurora, propiedad de una empresa local de aviación general que ofrece servicios como formación de pilotos, vuelos recreativos privados y fotografía aérea.\n\n\nCNN observó a multitudes evacuando el rascacielos y congregándose en las calles cercanas a la entrada, junto a camiones de bomberos, patrullas policiales y una ambulancia.\n\n\nAnna, una residente de Beijing que pidió que solo se utilizara su nombre de pila, dijo que acudió al lugar tras enterarse del accidente en internet.\n\n\n“Estaba a solo dos paradas de distancia… y vi la publicación… pero la borraron enseguida. Así que simplemente vine aquí”.\n\n\nDesde entonces, las imágenes se han vuelto virales en las redes sociales fuera de China continental.\n\n\nDentro del país, una búsqueda de “accidente aéreo en Beijing” en Weibo —la versión china de X— no arrojó resultados relevantes.\n\n\nEs práctica habitual que las autoridades chinas actúen con rapidez para censurar o imponer un apagón informativo, así como para desplegar un fuerte dispositivo policial ante cualquier incidente que se perciba como una amenaza potencial para la estabilidad social.\n\n\nEste sábado, las carreteras cercanas a la Torre CITIC permanecían cerradas y había presencia policial en los alrededores. Solo se permitía el acceso a quienes pudieran acreditar que trabajaban en la zona. Los repartidores se quedaron fuera esperando a que los empleados salieran a recoger sus pedidos, según informó un periodista de CNN.\n\n\nDatos de vuelo no verificados procedentes de Flightradar24 y publicados en internet parecían mostrar una trayectoria de vuelo con una desviación considerable tras el despegue de la aeronave desde el aeropuerto de Shifosi, en Beijing.\n\n\nEl vuelo de cualquier aeronave ligera en la ciudad requiere la autorización tanto de la Administración de Aviación Civil de China como de la Fuerza Aérea del Ejército Popular de Liberación. El mes pasado, Beijing promulgó una normativa de gran alcance para prohibir de facto los vuelos recreativos ocasionales y los drones de consumo.\n\n\nA los incidentes mortales y de gran repercusión pública en China a veces les siguen vacíos de información oficial que pueden prolongarse durante años.\n\n\nBeijing aún no ha ofrecido ninguna explicación oficial, más de cuatro años después de que un avión de pasajeros Boeing 737-800 de China Eastern se estrellara en la región de Guangxi —causando la muerte de 132 personas— en el que fue el desastre aéreo más mortífero del país en décadas.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The country’s foreign affairs ministry condemned the strikes as “a flagrant violation of Bahrain’s sovereignty.” The target was unclear and there has been no initial comment from Tehran.\n\n\nA tanker in the Strait of Hormuz was meanwhile struck Saturday by an “unidentified projectile,” according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO). The vessel sustained damage but all crew members were uninjured, UKMTO said, as it advised ships to transit the area with caution.\n\n\nThe developments mark the latest in a series of back-and-forth strikes centered around the strait, casting uncertainty over the US-Iran agreement signed earlier this month which stipulates the gradual restoration of normal marine traffic.\n\n\nThe Joint Maritime Information Center (JMIC), which is overseen by the US Navy, raised the threat level in the strait to “substantial” on Saturday, a step it said it took following attacks on merchant vessels. Meanwhile a route through the Strait of Hormuz near Oman has been expanded to allow for greater passage of the simultaneous flow of marine traffic in both directions, the JMIC said, suggesting the US is pushing back at Iran’s control over the waterway.\n\n\nIran’s Saturday attacks come after the US military conducted strikes on Friday against Iranian military targets around the Strait of Hormuz. “US aircraft struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites,” CENTCOM said. “The unwarranted aggression against commercial shipping by Iranian forces clearly violated the ceasefire.”\n\n\nThe escalation began with an Iranian attack on Thursday against a commercial vessel near the Strait of Hormuz, which US President Donald Trump described as a “foolish violation” of the agreement to end the war with Iran. A US official played down the prospect of escalation following the strikes, telling CNN they do not reflect a return to major combat operations, at least for now.\n\n\nVice President JD Vance — who took a lead role in negotiating the agreement with Iran announced last week — said Friday evening that “violence will be met with violence.”\n\n\nThe recent strikes have once again destabilized the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important shipping chokepoints, amid a fragile memorandum of understanding signed by the US and Iran.\n\n\nThe memorandum stipulates that Iran will make “arrangements using its best efforts” to ensure the safe passage of commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, and that traffic in the strait would return to the same volume as before the war began. However, it  did not provide detailed conditions for fulfilling the terms.\n\n\nThe two sides have offered differing understandings of whether Iran would be able to charge fees for passing vessels. Trump has insisted the strait would remain toll-free, but Tehran has maintained it will have the right to charge passing ships.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Un artículo redactado de forma ambigua en el acuerdo indicaba que Irán y Omán colaborarían para “definir la futura administración” de la vía marítima, otorgando así a Teherán un papel formal en su gestión.\n\n\nMientras continúan las negociaciones con Estados Unidos, el ataque del jueves indica que Irán planea imponer sus condiciones en el estrecho, decidiendo por dónde y cuándo pueden transitar los barcos.\n\n\nLa Guardia Revolucionaria ha denunciado las rutas no aprobadas por Teherán como “inaceptables”, “completamente peligrosas” y “prohibidas”, e insta a todos los buques a coordinarse exclusivamente con su armada para garantizar un paso seguro.\n\n\nMientras tanto, la recién creada Autoridad del Estrecho del Golfo Pérsico (PGSA) de Irán ha emitido normas que exigen a los buques completar un formulario de autorización por correo electrónico a cambio de una “Garantía de Paso Seguro” que incluye un seguro.\n\n\nCNN intentó contactar con la PGSA, pero los correos electrónicos enviados a la autoridad fueron devueltos.\n\n\nHan surgido tres rutas distintas para los buques en el estrecho corredor marítimo, con diferentes autoridades compitiendo por organizar el tránsito de decenas de embarcaciones a través de la vía fluvial de 34 kilómetros de ancho.\n\n\nUn camino meridional discurre por las aguas de Omán. Un segundo paso, utilizado antes de la guerra, atraviesa el centro del estrecho, y una tercera ruta, más al norte, está controlada por Irán.\n\n\nEsto obliga a los operadores de buques a tomar una difícil decisión sobre qué derrotero seguir.\n\n\n“Todo esto resulta muy confuso para navegar con seguridad por esas aguas”, declaró a CNN Dimitris Maniatis, director ejecutivo de la consultora de riesgos marítimos Marisks, y añadió que “el entorno actual es extremadamente peligroso”.\n\n\nLa falta de claridad sobre qué ruta tomar está dificultando los esfuerzos para que el comercio en la vía marítima vuelva a los niveles anteriores a la guerra.\n\n\nSegún las compañías navieras, lo que pudieron haber acordado los líderes de Irán y Estados Unidos no se está reflejando en el mar.\n\n\nLos corredores contrapuestos los han dejado confundidos, obligándolos a navegar no solo por aguas traicioneras —enfrentándose a amenazas de minas marinas, drones aéreos y patrulleras de la Guardia Revolucionaria— sino también por las complejas corrientes políticas que cruzan el estrecho.\n\n\nSi los barcos optan por rutas no iraníes, corren el riesgo de ser atacados. Si acceden a las exigencias de la Guardia Revolucionaria y utilizan la ruta iraní, temen el riesgo de sanciones occidentales en caso de que el acuerdo fracase.\n\n\n“Las empresas navieras mundiales quieren evitar tratar con los iraníes porque temen que puedan correr el riesgo de sufrir sanciones estadounidenses en el futuro”, declaró Maniatis, de Marisks, a CNN, y añadió que “la gente desconfía mucho de la actual administración estadounidense porque ya ha anunciado que cualquier pago de peaje al régimen iraní podría ser motivo de sanciones por parte de Estados Unidos”.\n\n\nIrán inicialmente exigió el pago por el tránsito marítimo, pero desde entonces ha declarado que no impondrá peajes de inmediato.\n\n\nEn cambio, planea cobrar tarifas por los servicios marítimos e introducir un nuevo impuesto ambiental a los buques, una medida que ha generado recelo entre los aliados árabes exportadores de petróleo de Estados Unidos.\n\n\nTras el ataque al Ever Lovely, la OMI suspendió una evacuación humanitaria coordinada que guiaba a más de 500 buques mercantes con más de 11.000 marineros atrapados en el Golfo Pérsico fuera de la región “hasta que se aclare la situación”, según un comunicado de la organización.\n\n\nExpertos marítimos indicaron que al menos cuatro barcos posteriormente dieron la vuelta y abandonaron el corredor.\n\n\nPara los barcos que optan por la ruta omaní, menos sujeta a sanciones, las embarcaciones pasan muy cerca unas de otras, lo que aumenta el riesgo de accidentes.\n\n\nDurante la guerra, las primas de los seguros también se dispararon, y los armadores llegaron a pagar más de un millón de dólares por cada buque petrolero de gran tamaño (VLCC, por sus siglas en inglés) para protegerse contra los ataques.\n\n\nEsas primas siguen siendo elevadas a pesar de que este tipo de incidentes ocurren con poca frecuencia.\n\n\nPara que un seguro cubra el tránsito por el estrecho, los buques deben especificar la ruta que van a seguir, según explicó a CNN Matthew Wright, analista principal de fletes de Kpler, una empresa de inteligencia de datos que realiza un seguimiento del transporte marítimo mundial y los flujos de materias primas.\n\n\n“Esto no significa volver al punto de partida, pero deja muy claro que seguimos en el alto el fuego de 60 días, en lugar de una garantía absoluta de que el estrecho de Ormuz esté encaminado hacia una reapertura”, indicó Wright, y agregó que “si los desacuerdos no se resuelven a mediados de agosto, podríamos terminar viendo que las tres rutas se utilizan de una manera más caótica y menos segura”.\n\n\nA pesar de la confusión, las compañías de seguros marítimos mantienen un optimismo cauteloso ante la posibilidad de que los buques hayan comenzado a emprender el peligroso viaje tras meses de incertidumbre, incluso si ello implica navegar por las nuevas realidades políticas del estrecho, eligiendo entre rutas alternativas y asumiendo costes significativamente más elevados.\n\n\nSin embargo, esas mismas compañías advierten que persiste una clara brecha entre lo acordado entre los líderes en las negociaciones y la realidad del estrecho.\n\n\nEsta incertidumbre lleva a muchos armadores a esperar un período prolongado de travesías sin incidentes antes de permitir que sus buques zarpen de nuevo.\n\n\n“Partimos de una posición de gran desconfianza entre ambas partes, por lo que el acuerdo es un buen primer paso”, señaló Wright. “Pero obviamente hay una gran diferencia entre lo que dice Estados Unidos y lo que dicen los iraníes”.\n\n\n“Estamos atravesando un período muy caótico”, añadió.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

As more and more people take the country’s famous Shinkansen high-speed trains, Japan’s rail system has rolled out a fancy new product: private rooms.\n\n\nStarting this October, some travelers going from Tokyo to cities like Kyoto and Osaka will have the option to purchase a ticket for the “Supreme Class.” These are private cabins with lockable doors that guarantee privacy on board, and the largest rooms even have small sofas. Travelers in these cars can adjust the lighting and air conditioning to their own preferences, too.\n\n\nThat’s not all. A new sleeper car service called “Luna Azul” (Spanish for “blue moon”) will offer lie-flat seats along the Tohoku route, which carries people to prefectures like Aomori and Akita in northeast Japan. It’ll debut sometime next year.\n\n\nHowever, not all the changes in Japanese tourism will necessarily be welcomed by visitors. The country’s “sayonara tax” will increase from ¥1,000 (about $6) to ¥3,000 ($18.50) on July 1. The fee is added to the cost of airfare, not requested in person. According to the Japanese government, the money raised from the tax goes toward supporting infrastructure.\n\n\nCoping with the heat\n\n\n\nThe solstice was this week, but it has already felt like peak summer for many of us around the world. Record high temperatures across Europe, Asia and the US are affecting travelers during the peak season.\n\n\nIf you already have your summer vacation planned, don’t panic. We have some helpful tips for navigating travel during hot weather, such as visiting outdoor attractions early in the morning, taking breaks, and staying hydrated not just by drinking water but by eating salads and water-filled fruits like melons and grapes.\n\n\nOne of the classic summer vacation foods is ice cream, but eating it fast enough to avoid melting is always a challenge. In Turkey, they’ve solved that problem with dondurma, a stretchy, chewy ice cream that never drips. It comes in gorgeous Mediterranean flavors like pistachio and sour cherry, too.\n\n\nA lesser-visited gem\n\n\n\nPalau, a country in the northern Pacific Ocean near Taiwan and the Philippines, only gets a few thousand tourists every year. Its most famous attraction is a crater lake filled with a rare, nontoxic jellyfish species that you might recognize from being used as a standard Mac computer wallpaper.\n\n\nThe country also played a small but significant role in the Pacific Theater in World War II. Peleliu, one of Palau’s islands, was occupied by the Japanese. Late in the war, the US invaded the island in a multi-week siege that caused thousands of deaths on both sides.\n\n\nNow, visitors to Peleliu can explore the island’s cave systems and see tanks, cannons and other objects left in situ.\n\n\nThe great outdoors\n\n\n\nEvery summer, South Korea’s southern city of Busan holds a sand art exhibit on trendy Haeundae Beach. This year, for the 20th anniversary of the festival, CNN met a veteran sand sculptor, who walked us through some of the most intricate pieces.\n\n\nIn case you missed it\n\n\n\nThe internet’s new favorite food is causing a purple craze.\n\n\nSpoiler alert: it’s not matcha.\n\n\nHong Kong’s Terminal 2 is now open.\n\n\nIt’s the latest frontline in the Asia airport wars.\n\n\nFinland has an idea for how to spend your summer.\n\n\nJoin the midnight sun treasure hunt for a chance to win $23,000.\n\n\nCan you pass the US citizenship test?

Julia Letlow will win the Republican nomination for Senate in Louisiana, CNN’s Decision Desk projects, defeating state Treasurer John Fleming in a runoff in which she made her endorsement from President Donald Trump a centerpiece of her pitch.\n\n\nLetlow’s vic...","content":"By Eric Bradner, CNN\n\n\n(CNN) — US Rep. Julia Letlow will win the Republican nomination for Senate in Louisiana, CNN’s Decision Desk projects, defeating state Treasurer John Fleming in a runoff in which she made her endorsement from President Donald Trump a centerpiece of her pitch.\n\n\nLetlow’s victory all but ensures another Trump ally will join the GOP’s Senate ranks next year from the deep-red state and delivers the president an immediate boost in demonstrating his continued influence with GOP primary voters after Republicans in two states earlier this month rejected his choices in their races for governor.\n\n\nIn her victory speech, Letlow thanked Trump for his endorsement and called him “the greatest president this country has ever had.” She said Fleming had called and conceded.\n\n\n“I will fight for our families. I will fight for our farmers. I will fight for our teachers. I will fight for our parents. I will fight for our law enforcement. I will fight for everyone in this room,” Letlow told supporters. “Every breath I have left, I will be fighting for Louisiana.”\n\n\nIn a post on Truth Social, Trump said Letlow’s victory was “great news.”\n\n\n“Julia Letlow WON in Louisiana, beating conclusively a very strong and smart opponent. Congratulations to Julia. She will be a truly GREAT Senator!” Trump said.\n\n\nLetlow and Fleming were vying to replace Sen. Bill Cassidy, a two-term Republican who finished third in the May 16 primary. Along with Texas Sen. John Cornyn, Cassidy is one of two GOP incumbents ousted in primaries this spring after Trump opposed them. The president’s bid for vengeance in Louisiana came after Cassidy voted in 2021 to convict Trump during his second impeachment trial.\n\n\nIn the primary, Letlow earned the most votes with nearly 45% support, followed by Fleming at 28% and Cassidy at almost 25%. Because no candidate received a majority, the top two finishers advanced to the runoff.\n\n\nSaturday’s election was the latest test of Trump’s grip on the Republican Party. It comes during a midterm primary season that began with Trump pulling off an impressive string of victories — including ousting Cassidy, Cornyn and another intraparty foe, Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, as well as defeating Indiana state senators who rejected his calls for redistricting.\n\n\nBut in recent weeks, GOP voters have snubbed Trump — passing over his picks in Republican primaries for governor in Iowa and Georgia. His choice in South Carolina was also on track to lose ahead of last week’s primary runoff, so Trump — in a last-minute, face-saving move — also endorsed the other candidate, state Attorney General Alan Wilson, who went on to win by more than 30 points.\n\n\nTrump held a telephone rally for Letlow on Thursday night. He said he has seen Letlow “tested at the highest level” and that she has “been a fearless champion for the people of your great state, right from the beginning.”\n\n\nThe president praised Letlow’s vote for his sweeping tax and spending measure last year, touted her support for his immigration enforcement efforts, and said she would back his elections bill that would broadly ban mail-in voting, require voter identification and more.\n\n\n“She’s fantastic. She’s going to do a great job. She’s a warrior,” Trump said during his appearance, which lasted about six minutes.\n\n\nLittle daylight between the candidates\n\n\n\nDespite Trump’s endorsement, the ideological differences in the GOP race were relatively scant.\n\n\nFleming, 74, campaigned on his support for a “pro-Trump agenda.” In one ad, Fleming’s campaign touted his time working in the White House during the first Trump administration, bragged that he “opposes liberal nonsense” and described Fleming as a “MAGA conservative,” using the acronym for Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement.\n\n\nLetlow, a 45-year-old former university administrator, was first elected to Congress in 2021. She won a special election to fill a vacancy created when her husband, Luke Letlow, died from Covid-19 in December 2020, weeks after winning the 5th District House seat but before taking office.\n\n\nFleming is a former House member who departed in 2016 to make a failed Senate run. He went on to serve in several roles in the Trump administration, ending as assistant to the president for planning and implementation.\n\n\nDemocrats also chose their Senate nominee in a runoff Saturday. Farmer and former state House candidate Jamie Davis defeated Navy veteran and defense contractor Gary Crockett, CNN projects. Davis nearly won the primary outright, with more than 47% of the vote, while Crockett edged out a third candidate, Nick Albares, by fewer than 300 votes out of roughly 345,000 cast.\n\n\nHowever, Trump has won Louisiana by more than 18 percentage points three times, and the state is not viewed by Democrats as a target this fall — political realities that all but ensure the winner in Saturday’s GOP runoff will be elected to a full term in November.\n\n\nThis year’s Louisiana primaries are the first since the state scrapped its previous “jungle primary” system.

A communal festival in Washington, DC, on Saturday, for instance, will feature an indigenous opening ceremony, a march starting at what was once called Black Lives Matter Plaza and voter registration booths.\n\n\nIn seeking to put his stamp on the 250th, Trump has upended plans that had been years in the making, thrown agencies and federal funding behind his lavish, patriotic vision and drawn ire over what has become, in critics’ eyes, a partisan celebration more about the president than the country.\n\n\n“It’s a lost cause to expect anything unifying and exciting coming out of Washington,” said John Dichtl, president and chief executive of the American Association for State and Local History, a nonprofit that helped advise states on their 250th planning.\n\n\nAcross the country, some state and local planners have distanced their celebrations from what’s happening in the nation’s capital. And in Washington, Next250 will hold its counterprogram down the street from the White House as the National Mall is being used by Trump’s “Great American State Fair.”\n\n\n“The administration doesn’t own the 250th anniversary, nor do they own the story of this country,” said Linda Sarsour, one of Next 250’s organizers. The activist, known for helping to organize the Women’s March on Washington during Trump’s first term, has courted controversy over opposition to Israel.\n\n\nBut on Saturday, she says, “We’re coming out to say: ‘We’re all in this together, and this country belongs to all of us.’”\n\n\nHow Trump took over\n\n\n\nThe first inkling of Trump’s takeover of the 250th came on a Friday afternoon last December, when Trump rattled off a dizzying list of programming for the nation’s birthday in a video on the president’s Truth Social account.\n\n\n“2026 will be a celebration of America like no other, honoring our nation and all of its glory,” he declared. “To help carry out these exciting plans, we have created a public-private partnership. It’s called Freedom 250,” he said.\n\n\nThe announcement arrived a few weeks after Trump had suffered an apparent setback. The man he picked to lead America250 — a nonprofit in charge of federal 250th celebrations, overseen by a congressional panel — had just been fired.\n\n\nTrump’s new nonprofit, Freedom 250, would ensure he got the July 4 celebrations he had long desired.\n\n\nThe organization also wouldn’t have to abide by the same rules as America250. While Freedom 250 is a non-partisan subsidiary of the National Park Foundation, its activities are largely overseen by top Trump aides.\n\n\nLike America250, it can maintain the anonymity of its donors, however, it is not overseen by a bipartisan panel. In May, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum told CNN’s Dana Bash that Freedom 250 is “run out of the White House” and only the organization can decide to reveal its donors.\n\n\nBut Richard Painter, a former White House ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush, said in an interview that he thought it was “problematic” the White House is forging relationships with nonprofits without congressional authorization. That arrangement has raised questions from watchdog groups and congressional Democrats, who are now investigating Freedom 250’s funding.\n\n\nA spokesperson for the National Park Foundation told CNN: “public and private Freedom 250 funds received or expended during the current fiscal year will be accounted for through NPF’s standard financial reporting and audit processes.”\n\n\nFreedom 250 lists about two dozen sponsors on its website. A number of these, like Palantir, Lockheed Martin and Oracle, have large federal contracts to provide data and defense services. Others, like Ultimate Fighting Championship and Penske Corp., are led by Trump allies Dana White and Roger Penske. Those have their own 250th-related events: the UFC fight on the White House lawn this month and an IndyCar race in August. White’s Phorm energy drinks are also for sale at the fair.\n\n\nWhen asked whether the group would commit to publicly disclosing its donors, Freedom 250 CEO Keith Krach told CNN in an interview: “We’re all about accountability and transparency.”\n\n\n“An important part of my role is to make sure that we manage the books really well,” he added. “Not just, ‘Hey, here you can see them,’ but to make sure that we get the biggest bang for the buck.”\n\n\nThe Freedom 250 events have played to Trump’s cultural tastes and given conservative groups a platform to shape the narrative around the celebrations — all to “renew national pride.”\n\n\nA fleet of six mobile museums called “Freedom Trucks” have traveled the country, telling a story of the American Revolution through AI art and videos that say “the foundational principles of America are rooted in the Western and Judeo-Christian traditions.” The content was produced by conservative education organizations such as Hillsdale College and Prager U, which say they were not paid.\n\n\nIn May, Freedom 250 organized a Christianity-focused prayer event on the National Mall, and the Patriot Games, a youth athletic contest where two teenaged victors will split a $250,000 prize, is also on the books for August.\n\n\nAfter artists, citing concerns over partisanship, bailed on performing at the opening rally for the Great American State Fair, the president instead held a rally on Wednesday, where he was the headliner. He was introduced by Lee Greenwood, a country singer whose hit “God Bless the USA” is a perennial Trump favorite.\n\n\n“We are going to proclaim that America is still great, and we’re going to try to keep her that way,” Greenwood told CNN before the event.\n\n\nThe main July Fourth event on the National Mall, called the “Salute to America,” is meant to feature a parade, military demonstrations and other activities.\n\n\nTrump asked Freedom 250 to put on the fireworks show that evening, and Krach vowed it would be “five times bigger” than DC’s usual Fourth of July show, as they attempt to break a Guinness World Record.\n\n\nA fractured celebration\n\n\n\nFreedom 250’s ambitions extend beyond events in the capital , and it has taken steps to brand itself as the nonpartisan group “leading the celebration” of America’s birthday in the public eye, putting it in competition with America250 for the national spotlight, sponsors and taxpayer funds.\n\n\nWeeks after Freedom 250 launched, federal agencies began to remove America250 logos from their websites, email signatures and social media accounts. Banners featuring America250 were taken down, and the administration put money towards Freedom 250 decorations at federal buildings across the country, according to government records.\n\n\nAnd while Freedom 250 rose to prominence, America250 lost out on some federal funding.\n\n\nCongress has allocated $150 million for 250th celebrations this year in the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” but America250 has only received $25 million so far. Instead, federal records show $65 million has been sent to the National Park Foundation, which can distribute the funding to Freedom 250.\n\n\nSen. Lisa Murkowski, a Republican on the congressional commission, pressed Burgum during a congressional hearing about the lack of funds going towards America250 in April. He told her Interior was “working with the White House” and that he would get back to her.\n\n\n“Freedom 250 is a challenge to us,” said Democratic Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, who has been on the America250 commission since 2019. Freedom 250 serves the president, “his politics, his donors, and his vanity projects,” but “America250 is focused on making sure that this is about our country, our people moving forward, and our message to the next generations,” she said.\n\n\nFreedom 250 has repeatedly defended Trump’s involvement in the celebrations and said that presidents, from Ulysses S. Grant in 1876 to Gerald Ford in 1976, have long played a role at commemorations of the nation’s founding.\n\n\nBut under Trump, the birthday celebrations have splintered.\n\n\nAmerica250 has forged ahead with its plans for a nationwide service campaign and a series of July 4 events taking place across the country. It will host a concert in Los Angeles featuring high-profile performers like Chris Stapleton and the Smashing Pumpkins.\n\n\nAn America250  spokesperson told CNN in a statement that, for those events, “the majority of support is expected to come from private sources.”\n\n\nThe grounds of Trump’s Great American State Fair are now peppered with reminders of the states that have distanced themselves from Freedom 250. Several booths representing states that declined to send delegations sit largely empty, with sparsely decorated backdrops and a few chairs.\n\n\nSome states cited finances as their reasons for not participating. Planners for Oregon were concerned that the event was “more partisan affair than originally presented.”\n\n\nPennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro told the New Republic that his state pulled out after his aides struggled to find a group to represent them because “the president has politicized this to a degree that businesses don’t want to participate.”\n\n\nMeanwhile, GOP governors have touted their states’ participation in the fair.\n\n\nDichtl, of the American Association for State and Local History, said state and local planners were more focused on what was going on in their own communities, than in Washington, but he still fears that the overall tenor of the 250th has turned partisan. He said the 1976 bicentennial was a complicated yet “unifying” moment where national healing felt possible.\n\n\n“250 does not feel that way,” he said.\n\n\nThis weekend, those in Washington will get to decide between different 250th celebrations. Some may choose to ride the towering, 110 foot-Ferris wheel or take a picture with a replica of Trump’s triumphal arch. Organizers say thousands are expected to attend Next250’s event, where there will be choirs and mariachi music, speeches and bracelet making.\n\n\nTrump has touted the 250th as “the most unforgettable birthday party any country has ever seen.”\n\n\nOpening the Great American State Fair this week, he nodded to more ahead. “On July 4, we will have the greatest show of all on the National Mall. Your favorite president will be speaking, so please show up,” he said.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

The government initially did not publicly acknowledge any incident had taken place. State media – including the country’s national broadcaster CCTV, headquartered across the road from the crash site – made no mention of the incident.\n\n\nThat’s thanks to the work of China’s army of censors and the Communist authorities’ obsessive control over information – particularly concerning events they believe may bring negative attention or consequences\n\n\nThe information vacuum left a host of unanswered questions for those who witnessed the event, or saw reports of it. For almost a day it was unknown how many people were injured in the incident.\n\n\nOn Saturday afternoon local time, media affiliated with the Beijing government reported a “single-engine double-seat light sports aircraft collided with a high-rise building in flight,” and that the pilot – the only person on board – had been killed and 13 people injured at the scene. The incident was being “investigated,” it said.\n\n\nIt’s still unknown whether the crash was accidental or intentional.\n\n\nPerhaps most worryingly for authorities, it’s also raised questions of how the pilot managed to fly over China’s fortified capital, where most of the Communist Party elite live, and where even flying drones is effectively banned.\n\n\nThe CITIC tower, is 528-meters tall (equivalent to 1,732 feet). It has been Beijing’s tallest building since 2018 and dominates the skyline.\n\n\nIt hosts China’s state-owned conglomerate CITIC Group and tech giant Alibaba and the surrounding neighborhood is a prime location in Beijing, and frequented by foreigners and diplomats. The embassies of countries ranging from the UK to Vietnam are just steps away, as are big names in global finance including the World Bank and IFC’s China offices.\n\n\nThe crash happened on Friday late afternoon during rush hour. Footage shared online in the brief window before the censors swung into action showed a small plane crashing into the upper level of the building, also known as China Zun, sending debris and a tail section of the plane showering down onto the city.\n\n\nOnline images showing the plane’s registration code seemed to point to a domestically manufactured light sport aircraft, a Sunward SA 60L Aurora, owned by a local general aviation company, which offers services like pilot training, personal recreational flights and aerial photography.\n\n\nCNN saw crowds evacuating from the skyscraper gathering on the streets near the entrance, along with firetrucks, police cars and an ambulance.\n\n\nInformation vacuum\n\n\n\nBeijing resident Anna, who wanted only her first name used, said she went to the site after hearing about the crash online.\n\n\n“I was just like two stops away… and I saw this post… but it gets deleted soon. So I just came here.”\n\n\nThe footage has since gone viral on social media outside mainland China.\n\n\nInside the country, a search for “plane crash in Beijing” on Weibo, China’s version of X, produced no relevant results.\n\n\nIt is common practice for Chinese authorities to act quickly to censor or impose an information blackout and deploy a heavy police presence to any incident that is seen as potentially destabilizing social stability.\n\n\nOn Saturday, roads near the CITIC Tower were closed and police were present around the site. Only people who could prove they work in the area were allowed to enter. Delivery drivers were stuck outside and waiting for employees to come out to collect their orders, according to a CNN journalist.\n\n\nUnverified flight data from Flightradar24 posted online appeared to show a severely deviated flight path for the aircraft after it took off from Beijing’s Shifosi airport.\n\n\nFlying any light aircraft in Beijing requires approval from both the Civil Aviation Administration of China and the People’s Liberation Army Air Force. Beijing enacted a sweeping regulation last month to effectively ban casual recreational flying and consumer drones.\n\n\nDeadly and highly-public incidents in China are sometimes followed by official information vacuums that can last for years.\n\n\nBeijing is yet to offer any official explanation more than four years after a China Eastern Boeing 737-800 passenger jet crashed in  the Guangxi region and killed 132 people, in the country’s deadliest air disaster for decades.\n\n\nJoyce Jiang and Fred He contributed reporting.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The attack, the first on a vessel since the pact was signed, was described by President Donald Trump on Friday as a “foolish violation of our Ceasefire Agreement.”\n\n\nIn retaliation, the US military conducted strikes on Friday against Iranian military targets around the Strait of Hormuz. However, a US official played down the prospect of escalation following the strikes, telling CNN they do not reflect a return to major combat operations, at least for now.\n\n\nThe Revolutionary Guards said they targeted US military positions in the region in response to Friday’s strikes, Iranian state media Press TV reported. The US military has not confirmed such strikes. Bahrain reported Iranian drone attacks on its territory early Saturday morning but the target is not yet clear.\n\n\nThe ceasefire agreement stipulates that Iran will make “arrangements using its best efforts” to ensure the safe passage of commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas supplies travel. Ensuring unobstructed transit was Iran’s main concession to the US.\n\n\nBut for Iran, reopening the strait does not mean relinquishing control of it. A vaguely worded article in the agreement said Iran and Oman would work together to “define the future administration” of the waterway, effectively giving Tehran a formal role in managing it.\n\n\nAs negotiations with the US proceed, Thursday’s strike is a signal that Iran plans to impose its terms on the strait, deciding where and when ships can pass.  The Revolutionary Guards have denounced routes not approved by Tehran as “unacceptable,” “completely dangerous,” and “prohibited,” urging all vessels to coordinate exclusively with their navy to secure safe passage.\n\n\nMeanwhile, Iran’s newly created Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) has issued rules requiring ships to complete an email authorization form in exchange for a “Safe Passage Guarantee” that includes insurance. CNN attempted to contact the PGSA but emails to the authority bounced back.\n\n\nThree distinct routes for ships have now emerged in the narrow maritime corridor, with different authorities vying to organize the transit of dozens of vessels through the 21-mile-wide waterway. One southern route goes through the waters off Oman; a second route, which was used before the war, passes through the middle of the strait; and a third route further north is controlled by Iran. This leaves vessel operators with a difficult choice over which path to take.\n\n\n“All this is very confusing for safely navigating those waters,” Dimitris Maniatis, CEO of maritime risk consultancy Marisks told CNN, adding that “the current environment is extremely dangerous.”\n\n\nShippers fear US sanctions\n\n\n\nThe lack of clarity over which route to take is complicating efforts for trade in the waterway to return to pre-war levels. What may have been agreed by the leaders of Iran and the US is not being reflected at sea, shipping companies say.\n\n\nThe competing corridors have left them confused, forcing them to navigate not only the treacherous waters – facing threats from sea mines, aerial drones, and Revolutionary Guard patrol boats – but also the complex political currents across the strait.\n\n\nIf ships opt for the non-Iranian routes, they risk being attacked. If they comply with the Revolutionary Guards’ demands and use the Iranian route, they fear the risk of Western sanctions should the agreement collapse.\n\n\n“Global shipping want to avoid dealing with the Iranians because there is a fear that they may run a risk of US sanctions in the future,” Maniatis, of Marisks told CNN, adding that “people are very cautious of the current US administration because they’ve previously announced that any toll fee payment to the Iranian regime may be a reason for US sanctions.”\n\n\nIran initially demanded payment for passage but has since said it will not immediately impose tolls. Instead, it plans to charge fees for maritime services and introduce a new environmental tax on ships in a move that has raised eyebrows among the US’ oil-exporting Arab allies.\n\n\nAfter the attack on the Ever Lovely, the IMO halted a coordinated humanitarian evacuation that was guiding more than 500 commercial vessels carrying over 11,000 seafarers trapped in the Persian Gulf out of the region “until further clarity is obtained,” according to a statement by the group. Maritime experts said at least four ships subsequently turned back from the corridor.\n\n\nFor the ships choosing to take the more sanctions-averse Omani route, vessels are passing very close to each other increasing the risk of accidents.\n\n\nDuring the war, insurance premiums also skyrocketed, with ship owners paying more than $1 million per Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) to protect against attacks.\n\n\nThose premiums remain elevated even though such incidents now rarely occur. To get insurance to move through the strait, vessels need to nominate the route they’re opting to take, Matthew Wright, Principal Freight Analyst at Kpler, a data intelligence firm that tracks global shipping and commodity flows, told CNN.\n\n\n“This is not back to square one but it’s makes it very clear that we are still in the 60-day ceasefire rather than an absolute guarantee that the Strait of Hormuz is on a certain path of reopening,” Wright said, adding that “if the disagreements are not ironed out by mid-August, we might end up seeing the three routes being used in a more chaotic manner and in a less safe way.”\n\n\nDespite the confusion, maritime risk companies remain cautiously optimistic that vessels have begun embarking on the treacherous journey after months of uncertainty, even if it means navigating the strait’s new political realities by choosing between competing routes and shouldering significantly higher costs.\n\n\nBut the same companies warn that a clear gap remains between what was agreed between leaders in the negotiating rooms and what is actually happening in the strait.  The uncertainty is leaving many shipping company owners waiting to see a sustained period of incident-free crossings before allowing their vessels to set sail again.\n\n\n“We’re coming from a high position of distrust between both sides, so the agreement is a good first step,” Wright said. “But there’s obviously a big gap between what the US is saying, and what the Iranians are saying.”\n\n\n“We’re in a very chaotic period,” he added.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Y cuando Brasil fue sede cuatro años después, el cóctel helado caipiriña acaparó toda la atención.\n\n\nLa Copa del Mundo siempre ha sido un escaparate para la cultura culinaria del país anfitrión. Y este año no es diferente.\n\n\nEl aderezo ranch, una salsa hecha principalmente con suero de leche, aceite vegetal y especias, está conquistando a los turistas que descubren la gastronomía y la cultura estadounidenses por primera vez.\n\n\n“El aderezo ranch debería ser un derecho humano”, escribió un usuario de Reddit , que se identificó como turista europeo, en un hilo sobre las opiniones de los visitantes del Mundial sobre el país.\n\n\nLos fanáticos están tan entusiasmados con la salsa que la Administración de Seguridad en el Transporte (TSA), que gestiona el control de pasajeros en los aeropuertos, comentó sobre esta tendencia.\n\n\n“Sí, pues tu equipaje de mano no estaba hecho para *revisa sus notas* 4 botellas de aderezo ranch…” dijo la TSA en una publicación de Instagram la semana pasada.\n\n\nUna botella estándar de aderezo ranchero tiene 16 onzas (473 mililitros), mientras que la TSA exige que los líquidos en el equipaje de mano sean de 3.4 onzas (100 mililitros) o menos.\n\n\n“Si nos visitas para un evento deportivo muy importante y descubres RANCH mientras estás aquí… por favor, llévatelo en tu equipaje facturado de camino a casa”, continuaba la publicación.\n\n\nActualmente, el aderezo ranch es el más popular del país para ensaladas, un puesto que ha ocupado durante décadas, según la Asociación de Aderezos y Salsas.\n\n\nEsta salsa también es popular como acompañamiento para todo tipo de platos, desde alitas de pollo hasta pizza.\n\n\nFue inventado en la década de 1950 por un fontanero que trabajaba en Alaska y que necesitaba una forma creativa de hacer que las comidas que preparaba para sus compañeros fueran más interesantes.\n\n\nCuando se retiró a un rancho turístico en California, un lugar donde los turistas pueden experimentar la vida en el campo, comenzó a vender kits de especias para preparar en casa por correo.\n\n\nEso llamó la atención de Clorox, que compró Hidden Valley Ranch en 1972. La compañía creó una versión embotellada de larga duración, y así nació el aderezo ranch moderno.\n\n\nActualmente, innumerables marcas producen aderezo ranch en todo el país. Según datos proporcionados por Hidden Valley Ranch, las ventas ascendieron a unos US$ 1.500 millones el año pasado.\n\n\nIncluso esta reportera de CNN, una estadounidense que se mudó a Hong Kong hace más de 15 años, tiene en su refrigerador una botella de 1,2 litros (40 onzas líquidas) de Hidden Valley Ranch, adquirida en una tienda especializada que importa productos estadounidenses.\n\n\nEl Gobierno estadounidense afirma que hasta 10 millones de turistas internacionales visitarán Estados Unidos con motivo del Mundial, asistiendo a partidos en 11 ciudades sede, desde Los Ángeles hasta Boston.\n\n\nUna encuesta realizada por el Centro de Investigación Pew en 36 países y publicada esta semana reveló que el 57 % de los encuestados tenía una opinión desfavorable de Estados Unidos, en medio de preocupaciones sobre su política exterior y la salud de su democracia.\n\n\nAun así, quienes han realizado el viaje están disfrutando de la singular oferta culinaria de Estados Unidos, desde los cereales Cap’n Crunch hasta la barbacoa texana y los Twinkies.\n\n\nLa TSA comunicó a CNN por correo electrónico que ha “observado específicamente que muchos viajeros europeos se están enamorando del aderezo ranch y están intentando averiguar cómo llevárselo a casa”.\n\n\nEl interés de los aficionados al Mundial por este aderezo “surgió de forma natural”, declaró Stacy Stokes, vicepresidenta de marketing de Hidden Valley, a CNN.\n\n\nEso no significa que la empresa no esté intentando sacar provecho de la situación.\n\n\nStokes afirma que la compañía distribuirá paquetes de mezcla de condimentos en las ciudades anfitrionas durante el mes de julio. El polvo se puede mezclar con suero de leche y mayonesa para preparar el aderezo.\n\n\nEl gigante de la alimentación y las bebidas Kraft-Heinz Company, que también vende aderezo ranch, anunció que lanzará una versión de su producto que cumple con las normas de la TSA (Administración de Seguridad del Transporte).\n\n\n“Estamos aprovechando ese momento”, dijo Todd Kaplan, su director de marketing, a Richard Quest de CNN en una entrevista. “Construir una marca se trata de… ser relevante en estos momentos culturales donde tu marca importa”, afirmó.\n\n\nAunque todavía es pronto para determinar el impacto que tendrá el interés turístico en las ventas, “los primeros indicios apuntan a que nos está generando un pequeño pero positivo repunte”, afirma Stokes.\n\n\nActualmente, Hidden Valley solo se vende oficialmente en Estados Unidos y Canadá, pero está sondeando el interés que despierta en el extranjero.\n\n\nEn marzo, publicó una oferta de trabajo para influencers que viajarían por Europa promocionando el aderezo, probándolo con platos típicos del continente, como el fish and chips en el Reino Unido (que normalmente se sirve con salsa tártara cremosa). Recibió alrededor de 6.000 solicitudes.\n\n\nPor ahora, Hidden Valley no tiene planes concretos para expandirse internacionalmente. “Siempre estamos buscando nuevas oportunidades de crecimiento… siempre queremos ser cuidadosos y reflexivos a la hora de introducirnos en diferentes mercados”, afirma Stokes.\n\n\nMientras tanto, tiene una recomendación para los viajeros internacionales que se han enamorado del aderezo ranch y quieren llevárselo a casa: “Llenen sus maletas de sobres de condimento seco”, dice. “Que yo sepa, nadie se lo impedirá”.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

But he’s also built a village, a community as they say in the biz, of people who root for him — outside of simply buying his clothes — and he’ll do just about anything for them.\n\n\nSince launching his menswear brand in 2015, the Mexican American designer casts the same key models repeatedly, such as Shaid Anaya, who takes breaks from his regular job as a construction workers to walk his shows. (This season, Chavarria re-cast Romeo Beckham after working together in Fall-Winter 2027, and enlisted friend and fellow fashion designer Bella Freud to walk.) His clothes, which are usually a homage, nod or reclamation of Chicano style, are not only celebrated in fashion circles but have managed to permeate the wider culture: There is an essay in the Harvard Review of Latin America dedicated to the emotional impact of Chavarria’s designs, where UC Santa Barbara professor Aída Hurtado writes that the first time she saw one of his shows online she “cried for a day.” And as of this year, the town of Huron, California, where the designer grew up, even named a day in his honor.\n\n\nBut as the saying goes, to have a village you must be a villager. This part of the deal appears to come naturally to Chavarria, who returned to Paris on Friday afternoon for his fourth season at the Men’s Fashion Week. In the days leading up to his show, Chavarria and his team were hard at work in his make-shift studio in the 6th arrondissement. So much so that it’s tough to pin him down for our scheduled interview. Each room we walk into offers up a new stimulus: a model’s shirt needs adjusting, which then must be tested with a quick strut; or a VIP’s outfit needs selecting, which, surprisingly, Chavarria sees to personally. There are hellos and photos and hugs. At one point right before we sit down to talk, the US rapper and show guest SAINt JHN voices concern over his look’s cream chino shorts. Might something in a darker color work better? Before I knew it, Chavarria was slipping off his own new season navy cotton cut-offs and handing them over, leaving himself standing diminutively in his oversized shirt and underwear. If you’re one of the ‘Willy Boys,’ the term he and his team use for his recurring models-turned-friends, he’ll happily give you the shirt off his back — or the shorts off his thighs, apparently.\n\n\nIt makes sense then that his Spring-Summer 2027 collection is titled “Comunión,” a word that translates to the coming together of people, either secularly or as part of a religious tradition. “Comunión is a belief that we are more whole together than apart, that the beauty of a person is sacred, and that the beauty of many gathered is holy,” read the show notes.\n\n\n“I really spend a lot of time thinking about how people feel,” Chavarria said in his studio, now back in his shorts. “Like the global mentality of the time, and what it is we want to wear and who we want to be in this moment.” What he came up with was an offering of fun and whimsy — “positivity,” he summarized.\n\n\nFriday’s runway inside the modernist Espace Niemeyer, the space-age HQ of the French Communist Party, began with a guided meditation reminding frazzled and heat-scorched show guests to relax their jaws, their shoulders, their necks and let any negative thoughts float away. Once the crowd was somatically present, Chavarria sent out a cooling parade of ice-cream colored outfits. There were sexy pencil skirts in pink leather and silky looking turquoise, pink hot pants and matching shoulder padded sweatshirts, an A-line skirt and dress both made from recycled plastic raffia which looked like it had been put through a shredder, as well as tasteful caped cocktail dresses peppered with floral appliqués that, when you get up-close, have the satisfying plasticky sheen of stickers.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThat’s a lot of skirts for CFDA’s Menswear Designer of the Year 2023 and 2024. “Womenswear has been my first preference,” said Chavarria at his studio, who “fell into” designing for men when he joined Ralph Lauren in 1999 — his first job in fashion. “I opened a menswear store, and I kind of got a lot of schooling in menswear, so I stayed with that, but I always loved dressing women.” This was Chavarria’s first time showing an equal split of men’s and women’s on the runway, but in reality women have been his customers for a long time. Most savvy shoppers these days are hardly put off by where an item sits in the store, and Chavarria says his menswear is often bought by women. “I love the gender flux between menswear and womenswear,” he said. Some of his freshest celebrity dressing moments have come from Billie Eilish, Tracee Ellis Ross and Ciara, who frequently wear his billowing tailored pants, neckties and oversized button-downs. “But I also wanted to do styles that really accentuate the female figure and feel extremely feminine, so that women can really just enjoy their femininity to the fullest.”\n\n\nAcross fashion weeks, the perennial question of who a collection serves comes up in conversation again and again. With Chavarria, it doesn’t take much to answer. While some designer clothing may be difficult to imagine anywhere other than a runway, his designs are not conceptually overworked, making them easy to wear.  “I don’t like to over intellectualize the clothes themselves,” he said. “Because I think at that point it just becomes silly.” This season, he felt inspired by a female archetype everyone is familiar with in some way or another: the confident, hot, inimitable baddie. “That’s the woman,” he said. “That’s the woman I dress.”\n\n\n“A baddie is a woman that if somebody tries to steal her bag, she beats the shit out of them. With her bag. And then she takes her lipstick out and keeps walking,” he said. Chavarria is already in service to this newfound community — this season designing more variations of the Bronca bag, a leather purse with a magnetic frame which he says is the perfect robber-thwacking tool. “It’s a little badass bag that is built to like get people out of the way when you walk,” he said. Ask nicely and he’ll even demonstrate.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

La página opuesta muestra una imagen del cuadro “La Declaración de Independencia” de John Trumbull.\n\n\nEl nuevo pasaporte parece presentar una imagen de Trump basada en el retrato del presidente que se encuentra en la Galería Nacional de Retratos del Smithsonian en Washington, y difiere de las publicadas por el Departamento de Estado a principios de este año, que mostraban una imagen diferente del presidente.\n\n\nMás tarde, el viernes, la cuenta oficial de la Casa Blanca publicó una foto con la misma ilustración de la publicación de Truth Social, con el título “Nuevo pasaporte estadounidense para conmemorar el 250 aniversario de Estados Unidos”.\n\n\nLa Casa Blanca remitió las preguntas al Departamento de Estado cuando se le preguntó si la última imagen era la representación oficial de los pasaportes conmemorativos.

Pero a medida que los dispositivos portátiles con IA se vuelven más comunes, asequibles y sofisticados, los aspectos tradicionales de la educación —desde la enseñanza hasta la evaluación— se ven sometidos a una enorme presión para evolucionar.\n\n\nEn un sentido más amplio, esta tecnología también reaviva el debate sobre cómo equilibrar la eficacia del aprendizaje con el riesgo de hacer trampa.\n\n\nLos países ya están intensificando las inspecciones a los candidatos que realizan las pruebas.\n\n\nPara el exigente examen anual de ingreso a la universidad en China, celebrado a principios de este mes —al que se presentan más de 10 millones de aspirantes cada año—, las autoridades exigieron la revisión de todas las gafas.\n\n\nEn el Reino Unido, el director del organismo de control de exámenes de Inglaterra advirtió a principios de este mes que las gafas con inteligencia artificial y los dispositivos inteligentes como los auriculares podrían agravar las trampas en los exámenes.\n\n\nLos dos incidentes ocurridos en Corea del Sur fueron los primeros casos reportados en el país de fraude mediante gafas con inteligencia artificial.\n\n\nEn respuesta, la entidad administradora de los exámenes de ingreso a la universidad de Corea del Sur declaró a CNN que está en conversaciones con el Ministerio de Educación y las oficinas educativas locales sobre medidas para prevenir las trampas con gafas de inteligencia artificial, que, junto con todos los demás dispositivos electrónicos, ya están prohibidas en las salas de examen.\n\n\nEn Taiwán, la universidad donde un aspirante a estudiante fue sorprendido haciendo trampa está revisando las normas y los procedimientos operativos estándar para las gafas con inteligencia artificial durante los exámenes.\n\n\nPero a los expertos les preocupa que estos casos individuales apunten a un problema más generalizado.\n\n\n“Si bien se están reportando algunos casos, se están produciendo muchos más que no se reportan”, afirmó Thomas Corbin, profesor de la Universidad Deakin en Australia, quien ha realizado investigaciones sobre el uso de gafas con inteligencia artificial y otros dispositivos inteligentes en la evaluación académica.\n\n\nSin embargo, con el rápido desarrollo de la tecnología de IA, las gafas inteligentes se están volviendo más delgadas y discretas, a la vez que integran modelos de IA que pueden operar de forma independiente con conectividad, lo que plantea preocupaciones no solo sobre la integridad de los exámenes, sino también sobre riesgos más amplios para la privacidad.\n\n\nEstos dispositivos portátiles están dejando de ser una novedad para convertirse rápidamente en un producto de consumo masivo.\n\n\nEl gigante tecnológico estadounidense Meta lanzó sus primeras gafas con inteligencia artificial junto con Ray-Ban a finales de 2023, y desde entonces ha presentado varias versiones nuevas.\n\n\nSolo el año pasado, se vendieron más de siete millones de pares.\n\n\n“La IA portátil supone un desafío para los exámenes tan grande como lo fue ChatGPT para los ensayos en 2022, y simplemente no creo que haya ninguna manera real de que podamos tener prácticas de examen confiables en el futuro”, declaró Corbin.\n\n\nHace un año, el profesor adjunto Meng Zili, de la Universidad de Ciencia y Tecnología de Hong Kong (HKUST), se fijó en unas gafas elegantes que llevaba un estudiante durante un examen que él supervisaba.\n\n\nComo investigador que trabaja en gafas con inteligencia artificial, la montura le llamó la atención.\n\n\nLas gafas resultaron ser corrientes. Pero el incidente lo inspiró a probar gafas comerciales con inteligencia artificial en un examen de pregrado de un curso de ingeniería eléctrica.\n\n\nEl resultado fue sorprendente, demostrando que las gafas con IA son una tecnología viable para la realización de exámenes, afirmó Meng. Con solo mirar el examen, las gafas podían transmitir las preguntas a un modelo de lenguaje de IA conectado, que generaba las respuestas y las mostraba en las lentes.\n\n\nLa puntuación obtenida con el dispositivo lo situó entre los cinco primeros de una clase de más de 100 alumnos, superando significativamente la puntuación media de 72.\n\n\n“Tras realizar el experimento, surge la pregunta de cuánto conocimiento necesitan memorizar realmente los estudiantes para los exámenes, en comparación con si deberíamos permitirles usar la IA durante la evaluación, dado a lo que la IA es capaz de hacer actualmente”, comentó Meng.\n\n\nZhang Jun, profesor de ingeniería eléctrica en la HKUST y codirector del proyecto junto con Meng, afirmó que, dada la rapidez con la que evolucionan la tecnología y la IA, la educación tradicional tiene dificultades para mantenerse al día: “Todos los profesores lo sienten”.\n\n\n“La verdadera cuestión es con qué rapidez podemos repensar y adaptar nuestro sistema educativo: cómo cambiamos la forma en que enseñamos y cómo evaluamos a los estudiantes”, sostuvo.\n\n\nPero a pesar de suponer una importante disrupción para la educación, el poder de la IA no debería ser motivo para desalentar su uso, afirmó Kong Siu Cheung, profesor y director del Centro de Educación en IA y Competencia Digital de la Universidad de Educación de Hong Kong.\n\n\nEn cambio, los sistemas educativos deberían centrarse en desarrollar las capacidades de pensamiento y la metacognición de los estudiantes para evitar una dependencia excesiva de la IA, afirmó.\n\n\n“Debemos usar la tecnología. Debemos usar la IA. No debemos limitarnos a decir que hay que evitarla, que hay que dejar de usarla… En resumen: no delegues tu capacidad de pensamiento”, añadió.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Nos complace ver este progreso y seguimos colaborando con el Gobierno para ampliar el acceso a Mythos 5 y que Fable 5 vuelva a estar disponible para el público en general”, añade el comunicado.\n\n\nSegún una fuente cercana a las conversaciones que habló con CNN, se espera que los contactos entre Anthropic y el Gobierno continúen durante el fin de semana, con el objetivo de restablecer el acceso a Fable.\n\n\nA principios de este mes, Anthropic deshabilitó el acceso de los clientes a Mythos y Fable para cumplir con la orden del Gobierno estadounidense de suspender el uso por parte de ciudadanos extranjeros, incluidos los propios empleados de Anthropic.\n\n\nLa prohibición de exportación y las negociaciones subsiguientes con Anthropic pusieron de manifiesto la falta de un marco regulatorio coherente en torno a la IA, incluso a medida que la tecnología avanza rápidamente y Estados Unidos intenta mantenerse por delante de competidores globales como China.\n\n\nSemafor fue el primero en informar sobre el permiso del Gobierno para lanzar Mythos.\n\n\nHasta hace poco, la administración Trump había adoptado un enfoque bastante pasivo en la regulación de la inteligencia artificial, buscando mantener a las empresas estadounidenses por delante de sus competidores chinos en particular.\n\n\nSin embargo, la reciente medida adoptada contra Anthropic, así como la solicitud a OpenAI para que limite su modelo más reciente, se produce después de que los expertos llevaran meses preocupados por la posibilidad de que Mythos supusiera un riesgo para la seguridad al dar a los piratas informáticos y otros actores malintencionados acceso a una IA capaz de encontrar y explotar vulnerabilidades con una rapidez excepcional.\n\n\nLa relación del Gobierno federal con Anthropic, una de las principales empresas estadounidenses de inteligencia artificial, también ha tenido otros obstáculos.\n\n\nA principios de este año, la administración la catalogó como un “riesgo para la cadena de suministro”, incluyéndola prácticamente en una lista negra, debido a un desacuerdo sobre los usos militares de los productos de Anthropic.\n\n\nAnthropic demandó por esa designación y ya ha conseguido al menos una victoria inicial en el caso en curso.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The agency said it is investigating.\n\n\nThe Boeing 737, carrying 106 passengers and five crew members from Key West, Florida, landed safely around 5:30 p.m. ET, with travelers exiting the plane at the gate as normal, United told CNN in a statement.\n\n\nAnother pilot flying into Newark on a United Express flight operated by GoJet Airlines also reported seeing a drone at roughly 2,000 feet, according to air traffic control audio from around the same time.\n\n\nIt comes at a busy time for air travel. The Transportation Security Administration expects to screen nearly 18.7 million travelers at US airport security checkpoints over the Fourth of July holiday week, between June 30 and July 6.\n\n\nCNN has reached out to GoJet and Newark airport for more information.\n\n\nDrone reports around US airports\n\n\n\nThere are around 100 drone sightings a month near US airports, according to the Federal Aviation Authority, though the agency prohibits the use of drones in controlled airspaces or near manned aircraft without official permission.\n\n\nThis year through March, there have been 319 reports of drone sightings by pilots to the FAA, according to the agency.\n\n\nBut collisions are rare. In only eight of those reports, pilots reported having to take some kind of action to avoid the object, including descending or turning, and there was only one report of a drone crashing on the runway, at San Carlos Airport in California.\n\n\nIn March, pilots at New York’s LaGuardia Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport both reported seeing several unmanned aircraft systems to the agency, according to the FAA reports.\n\n\nAs drones increasingly operate in congested areas, airports are using detection technology to track drones in their airspace. At a Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Aviation, Space, and Innovation hearing on Tuesday, Nevada Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen spoke about the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense developing counter-UAS (unmanned aircraft systems) technologies to dissuade people from flying around airports.\n\n\n“Integrating UAS safety regulation into all aspects … whether it through the FAA or other modes and other regulatory frameworks that manage the national airspace, is absolutely integral. There can’t be any loopholes,” former New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, the president and CEO of Airlines for America, said at the hearing.\n\n\nNewark airport is also about 15 miles away from East Rutherford, New Jersey, where World Cup matches are taking place. The events are heavily restricted to drone activity, officials have announced.\n\n\nIn April 2019, flights in and out of Newark were disrupted after reports of a drone flying near Teterboro Airport, located about 17 miles away. The reports came from the flight crew of a Southwest flight and of a United flight, the FAA said at the time.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

While it is not uncommon for states to suggest book titles for public schools, Texas could be the first to prescribe a literary collection for every student.This decision comes after last year the state became the largest in the U.S. to require classrooms to display The Ten Commandments, a law that was recently upheld in federal court.ABC 7's Max Zepeda spoke with Board Member Gustavo Reveles, who represents El Paso and much of Southwest Texas, and he was blunt on what he believes the true meaning behind the proposal is.\"I have heard here this week, members of our own board, call people of the Islamic faith, to their face, terrorists,\" Reveles said. \"They are threatened by people that don't look like them and don't practice the same faith as them. And that to me shows weakness.\"\n\n\n\n\nThe post Texas Board of Education votes to approve requiring public schools to study Bible stories appeared first on KVIA.","url":"https://kvia.com/news/top-stories/2026/06/26/texas-board-of-education-approves-vote-to-require-public-schools-to-study-bible-stories/","source":"KVIA ABC-7","author":"Max Zepeda","publishDate":"2026-06-27T01:33:25.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkvia.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F11%2FTexas-Bibles.png","slug":"texas-board-of-education-votes-to-approve-requiring-public-schools-to-study-bible-stories"},{"id":"7cpw17","title":"Descifran un rollo de papiro calcinado durante la erupción del Vesubio con ayuda de la inteligencia artificial","excerpt":"Por Lianne Kolirin, CNN\n\n\nUn rollo de papiro quemado y carbonizado cuando el monte Vesubio entró en erupción hace casi 2.000 años fue desenrollado virtualmente y descifrado parcialmente con la ayuda de la inteligencia artificial (IA).\n\n\nEl rollo —llamado PHerc. 1667— es uno de cientos procedentes...","content":"Por Lianne Kolirin, CNN\n\n\nUn rollo de papiro quemado y carbonizado cuando el monte Vesubio entró en erupción hace casi 2.000 años fue desenrollado virtualmente y descifrado parcialmente con la ayuda de la inteligencia artificial (IA).\n\n\nEl rollo —llamado PHerc. 1667— es uno de cientos procedentes de la antigua ciudad romana de Herculano, sepultada bajo escombros volcánicos cuando el monte Vesubio entró en erupción en el año 79 d. C., de acuerdo con el Vesuvius Challenge, una iniciativa centrada en descodificar los textos de los rollos de Herculano sin necesidad de desenrollarlos físicamente.\n\n\nConservados bajo el barro y la ceniza en una villa que, según se cree, perteneció al suegro de Julio César, los rollos fueron descubiertos por un agricultor italiano en el siglo XVIII. Esta colección constituye la única biblioteca de gran envergadura de la antigüedad clásica que ha logrado sobrevivir.\n\n\nAl sufrir una combustión tan intensa que los dejó carbonizados, los rollos son extremadamente frágiles. A lo largo de los años, los investigadores han intentado desenrollarlos mediante diversos métodos —como el uso de pesos, productos químicos, gases y pulverización—, aunque a menudo estas técnicas provocaban daños o la destrucción de los documentos.\n\n\nEl Vesuvius Challenge fue lanzado por Brent Seales, profesor de informática en la Universidad de Kentucky, y los emprendedores Nat Friedman y Daniel Gross en 2023 con el objetivo de animar a investigadores de todo el mundo a intentar descifrar los rollos desenrollándolos y descodificándolos virtualmente.\n\n\nEl proceso de desenrollado virtual comienza con una tomografía computarizada (TC) de cada papiro enrollado y deformado.\n\n\nTras seguir las capas curvas en el escaneo, los investigadores luego aplanan virtualmente los rollos y los analizan mediante una IA avanzada que ha sido entrenada para identificar la tinta en la página.\n\n\nSi bien se han producido numerosos avances en los últimos años, este último logro —anunciado el jueves durante una conferencia en Nápoles, Italia— representa un “avance histórico”, de acuerdo con los responsables del proyecto.\n\n\nPor primera vez, los científicos lograron desenrollar completamente un rollo y revelaron un fragmento de texto de casi 1,5 metros de largo distribuido en 20 columnas.\n\n\n“Durante casi dos milenios, muchos de estos textos se han preservado físicamente, pero han sido intelectualmente inaccesibles”, afirmó Seales en un comunicado publicado el jueves. “Hoy —después de años de trabajo interdisciplinario que combina imágenes avanzadas, inteligencia artificial (IA), investigación académica y un concurso de innovación— por fin podemos leerlos”.\n\n\nFederica Nicolardi, profesora asistente de Papirología en la Universidad de Nápoles Federico II, ha dirigido un equipo de especialistas en papirología para crear modelos de aprendizaje automático e interpretar el texto de los rollos.\n\n\n“Este rollo fue considerado completamente ilegible cuando se abrió una parte en la década de 1980”, señaló Nicolardi en el comunicado de prensa.\n\n\n“Aunque se podían distinguir algunas letras aisladas, las capas superpuestas ocultaban la escritura y el rollo recibió una puntuación de legibilidad de cero. No obstante, gracias al desenrollado virtual, ahora podemos seguir argumentos coherentes a lo largo de varias columnas. Es un cambio revolucionario”.\n\n\nAñadió: “La caligrafía del rollo y las referencias internas sugieren que el artefacto data del siglo II a. C. o posiblemente de finales del siglo III a. C., lo que lo convierte en uno de los rollos más antiguos de la colección”.\n\n\nDe acuerdo con Nicolardi, el PHerc. 1667 es la única parte que se conserva de un rollo que originalmente estaba completo. Mide unos 8 centímetros (3,2 pulgadas) de altura —menos de la mitad del tamaño de un rollo típico— y tiene un diámetro de unos 2 centímetros (0,8 pulgadas). Los registros indican que estaba prácticamente intacto cuando se descubrió, pero los intentos de desenrollarlo a lo largo de los años lo dañaron y redujeron su tamaño.\n\n\nEl texto parece ser una discusión filosófica acerca de la ética, las artes y el comportamiento humano, lo que probablemente refleja el pensamiento estoico, según los investigadores.\n\n\nIncluye un análisis del concepto estoico de “horme” (impulso); el autor —cuya identidad se desconoce— parece advertir que la falta de regulación de la conducta puede conducir a una pasión perjudicial o a desviarse de los propios objetivos.\n\n\nLa sabiduría práctica, conocida como “phronesis”, es otro concepto clave, considerado la virtud suprema en la filosofía estoica.\n\n\nEl texto recién traducido incluye la frase: “Investigaremos algo, pero no lo comprenderemos, si de algún modo nos apartamos de nosotros mismos y de nuestra propia naturaleza”.\n\n\nEl equipo también anunció un descubrimiento en el interior de las capas carbonizadas de otro rollo, el PHerc. 139.\n\n\nLos investigadores pudieron leer las palabras: “Filodemo, Sobre los dioses, Libro 8”.Esto establece por primera vez que “Sobre los dioses” era una serie de al menos ocho libros del filósofo griego. Antes, solo se conocía el primer libro.\n\n\nEstos descubrimientos son los más recientes de una serie de revelaciones derivadas del Vesuvius Challenge.\n\n\nEn mayo del año pasado, se descifraron el título y el autor del rollo PHerc. 172 como “Sobre los vicios”, de Filodemo.\n\n\nEn octubre de 2023, se descodificó la primera palabra completa de uno de los papiros antiguos sin abrir con la ayuda de tecnología informática y una IA avanzada.\n\n\nEl proyecto se encuentra ahora en un punto de inflexión, de acuerdo con Seales.\n\n\n“Ya no se trata solo de imágenes o aprendizaje automático”, dijo. “Ahora necesitamos expertos que sepan leer, editar y comprender lo que dicen”.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

It will also heavily emphasize classic literature and historic American texts such as Abraham Lincoln’s “The Gettysburg Address.”\n\n\nAt the same meeting Friday, the school board also approved a rewrite of the state’s social studies curriculum, focusing more on Texas and US history and deemphasizing some teachings about global history and cultures. The change will eliminate a sixth grade “World Cultures” course and significantly expand lessons on communism.\n\n\nThe proposals have sharply divided teachers, parents and community members — hundreds of whom appeared before the school board this week to voice their concern and enthusiasm.\n\n\nSupporters argue the Bible should be studied as an essential literary text that can help students understand Western history and the founding of the US. Board member Brandon Hall during a news conference Thursday called the proposals a “generational opportunity” to overhaul the state curriculum.\n\n\n“We’re going to stop watering down American history. We’re going to teach the truth. Our nation was founded as a Christian nation, and Texas is a Christian state,” said Hall, a Republican who is a pastor in Springtown. He said the Bible has had a “remarkable impact on our culture, our societies and our laws.”\n\n\nHowever, those who oppose the changes say the mandatory reading list favors Christianity over other religions and violates the separation between church and state.\n\n\nBoard member Evelyn Brooks, who was the only Republican to vote against the new required texts, said during debate Friday she believes the move is “unconstitutional.”\n\n\n“Teachers need to have their autonomy. They’ve been selecting books for decades, for years,” Brooks said.\n\n\nThe changes will begin going into effect in the 2030-2031 school year.\n\n\n“I would suspect that there’s going to be growing pains, just like any change in education,” said board member LJ Francis, who voted in favor of the provision.\n\n\nEven so, he told CNN, “I think we’ll see the reading scores go up, and I think we’ll see children just learning and loving to read again.”\n\n\nFrom Sunday school to public school\n\n\n\nIn recent years, Texas leaders have broadly eliminated studies of racial and cultural diversity while expanding the schools’ abilities to introduce Christianity to students.\n\n\nIn 2023, the state became the first to allow chaplains to counsel students, and the following year approved a measure that offered more funding to schools that teach an optional Bible-infused elementary school curriculum. The state’s education code already requires K-12 schools to teach “religious literature, including the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) and New Testament, and its impact on history and literature.”\n\n\nAs students learn US history, supporters of the new curriculum argue Christian texts should be inseparable from lessons on the nation’s founding.\n\n\n“We don’t have to incorporate every religious belief in our history or in our literary works, because our nation was founded on Judeo-Christian values,” said Susan Perez, founder of a Christian parent advocacy group, Citizens for Education Reform, in a school board meeting Monday.\n\n\nPerez pointed out Christian references in the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution, which was signed in “the Year of Our Lord” 1787.\n\n\nUnder the new reading list, third-grade students will read the story, “ROAR! – Daniel and the Lion’s Den,” alongside titles like “Stuart Little” and “Charlotte’s Web,” according to the proposed lists online.\n\n\nAs students become more advanced in reading level, they will be introduced to passages directly from the Bible. Sixth-grade students will learn “The Shepherd’s Psalm” from the Book of Psalms alongside religious writings from George Washington and poems by Langston Hughes and Robert Frost.\n\n\nSeveral community members expressed concerns during Monday’s board meeting that the plan would infringe on their autonomy as parents to oversee their children’s religious education.\n\n\nKimmie Fink, the mother of an active-duty military family stationed in Texas, told the board, “I would like to believe that my children’s constitutionally guaranteed religious freedom rights will remain intact wherever we are stationed.”\n\n\n“Is this not the case in Texas, a state that champions parents’ rights? In Texas, parents have the fundamental legal right to direct the moral and religious upbringing of their children without state interference. The proposed literary works trample on this right,” Fink added.\n\n\nSome proponents of the curriculum changes dispute arguments that children will be explicitly taught religion, saying the Biblical passages and stories will be taught in the context of world history.\n\n\nBoard member Francis said he does not view the inclusion of Bible passages in lessons as “proselytizing.”\n\n\n“What we intend to do is just to introduce new or amazing kids in Texas to the wealth and breadth of a canon of Western literature,” Francis told CNN on Friday after the vote.\n\n\nEarlier this week, former public school administrator Nancy Barker argued before the board the Bible readings “will provide students with the background knowledge you will need to understand the books, the speeches, poems and important documents that have shaped our civilization.”\n\n\n‘Not all of us believe the same’\n\n\n\nBoard member Tiffany Clark, a Christian and Democrat who represents parts of Dallas-Fort Worth, had vocally opposed the curriculum. Clark said Thursday she and some of her Christian constituents believe “Bible lessons should be taught on Sundays.”\n\n\n“Not all of us believe the same,” Clark told CNN, noting that Christian denominations reference different translations of the Bible and at times differ in their interpretations.\n\n\nThe new curriculum mandates specific Bible translations, including the King James Bible, which is widely used by Protestant and Evangelical churches but is avoided by the Roman Catholic Church.\n\n\nClark also said she fears the emphasis on Christian texts would alienate children who come from other religious backgrounds and prevent their parents from solely shaping their religious education. About a third of adults in Texas identify as non-Christian, according to Pew Research Center surveys from 2023-2024.\n\n\nClark told CNN on Saturday that Texas’ roughly 5.5 million public school students represent a wide range of religions, including Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism, and argued it is inappropriate for the state to impose a mandate centered on one faith.\n\n\n“I just don’t think it’s fair to the students that we serve,” she said.\n\n\nThough parents will have the option to opt their children out of some of the required teachings, Clark said, missing lessons could impact students’ test scores. Because the texts will be part of the curriculum, they could be included on standardized testing, potentially impacting the school district’s test record if students do not perform well.\n\n\nThe mandated list also discourages students from thinking critically, Clark argued, pointing to recent testimony from students who, when questioned by board members, appeared to simply read prepared statements without actually understanding their content.\n\n\n“Teachers know what their students need,” Clark said. “Our students need to focus on reading comprehension and understanding how to dissect information, but we can’t get there through this method.”\n\n\nOne mother who spoke before the school board Monday in support of the proposal said she believes Texas has always stood for “giving our kids the knowledge they need to succeed.”\n\n\n“Keeping biblical references in our social studies standards isn’t about pushing my religion, it’s about giving our students a complete education here and making sure they understand the history,” the mother said.\n\n\nHowever, teachers may be put in a position to teach religious texts they are not familiar or comfortable with, said Rabbi Joshua Fixler with Congregation Emanu El in Houston.\n\n\n“This list is full of Christian texts that are inappropriate for public school classrooms. As a rabbi and a parent of Jewish kids, I think it is vital that this board make a distinction between teaching about religion and teaching religion. This list will force teachers to cross that line,” Fixler said.\n\n\nThe mandated literature curriculum could be a first of its kind, according to Antero Garcia, president of the National Council of Teachers of English and a Stanford University education professor.\n\n\nGarcia told the AP he doesn’t know of any other state with a similar list. Educators at the district and school levels are generally able to choose what texts their students will read, he said.\n\n\nKasey Meehan, director of PEN America’s Freedom to Read program, told the AP she believes such a mandated reading list would be unique to Texas.\n\n\n“I think there’s lots of state lists that exist that are like advised readings, suggested readings,” she told the AP.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

And in East Asia’s test-obsessed societies, where a single exam could impact the trajectory of a student’s future career and social status, educators are scrambling to get ahead of the problem.\n\n\nTwice last month, people in South Korea taking an exam to assess their English language skills – the results of which are often used to make hiring decisions – were caught using smart glasses.\n\n\nIn Taiwan, a student sitting for an entrance exam for a top medical school was discovered wearing smart glasses after proctors noticed the student staring oddly at the test, leading to an inspection that revealed the frame was emitting heat.\n\n\nCheating with smart glasses is not new. But as AI-enabled wearable devices become more commonplace, affordable and sophisticated, traditional aspects of education – from teaching to evaluation – are coming under immense pressure to evolve. More broadly, the technology also reignites debates over how to balance learning efficiency against the risk of cheating.\n\n\nAlready, countries are stepping up inspections for test-takers.\n\n\nFor China’s grueling annual college entrance exam earlier this month – which more than 10 million hopefuls take each year – authorities required screening of all glasses. In the United Kingdom, the head of England’s exam watchdog warned earlier this month that AI glasses and smart devices like earpieces could worsen cheating in exams.\n\n\nThe two incidents in South Korea were the country’s first reported cases of cheating with AI glasses.\n\n\nIn response, South Korea’s college entrance exam administrator told CNN it is in discussions with the Education Ministry and local education offices about measures to prevent cheating with AI glasses, which, along with all other electronic devices, are already banned from exam rooms.\n\n\nIn Taiwan, the university where a prospective student was caught cheating is now reviewing rules and standard operating procedures for AI eyewears during examinations.\n\n\nBut experts worry these individual cases point to a more widespread issue.\n\n\n“If we’re seeing a few cases being reported, we’re seeing a lot more cases not being reported,” said Thomas Corbin, lecturer at Deakin University in Australia, who has conducted research around the usage of AI-powered glasses and other smart devices in academic assessment.\n\n\nWith the rapid development of AI technology, however, smart glasses are becoming slimmer, less noticeable, while integrating AI models that can operate independently with connectivity, raising concerns not only about exam integrity, but also about broader privacy risks.\n\n\nThese wearable devices are rapidly moving away from novelty into the mainstream. US tech giant Meta launched its first AI-enabled glasses with Ray-Ban in late 2023, and has since released several new versions. Last year alone, more than seven million pairs were sold.\n\n\n“Wearable AI is as much of a challenge to exams as ChatGPT was to essays in 2022 and I just don’t think there is any real way that we can reliably have exam practices moving forward,” Corbin said.\n\n\nA ‘viable technology’ for cheating\n\n\n\nA year ago, Assistant Professor Meng Zili at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) noticed a pair of stylish glasses worn by a student during an exam he was proctoring. As a researcher working on AI glasses, the frames caught his attention.\n\n\nThe glasses turned out to be ordinary. But the incident inspired him to test commercial AI glasses in an undergraduate level exam of an electrical engineering course.\n\n\nThe result was striking, showing that AI glasses are a “viable technology” for handling exams, Meng said. By simply looking at the exam paper, the glasses could transmit questions to a connected AI large language models, which generated answers and displayed them on the lenses.\n\n\nThe score generated with the device placed it among the top five in a class of over 100 students, significantly exceeding the average score of 72.\n\n\n“After conducting the experiment, it really raises the question of how much knowledge students actually need to memorize for exams, versus whether we should allow them to use AI during assessment, given what AI is now capable of,” Meng said.\n\n\nZhang Jun, an electrical engineering professor at HKUST who co-led the project with Meng, said that with how fast technology and AI are evolving, education on the ground is finding it hard to keep up – “every teacher feels that.”\n\n\n“The real question is how quickly we can rethink and adapt our education system — how we change the way we teach, and how we evaluate students,” he said.\n\n\nBut despite being a major disruption to education, the power of AI should not be a reason to discourage its use, said Kong Siu Cheung, a professor and director of the AI and Digital Competence Education Center at the Education University of Hong Kong.\n\n\nInstead, the educational systems should focus on developing students’ thinking capabilities and metacognition to prevent over-reliance on AI, he said.\n\n\n“We should use technology. We should use AI. We should not just say avoid it, stop using it… The bottom line is: don’t outsource your thinking capability,” he added.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

A más de 48 horas transcurridas desde los dos terremotos que devastaron a Venezuela, este futbolista argentino que reside desde hace años en el país aún no logra dar con el paradero de su esposa y sus dos hijos pequeños, que estaban en el estado La Guaira, el más afectado por la tragedia.\n\n\n“Gracias a todos por sus oraciones y mensajes. Sigo buscando a mi familia. Por favor no dejen de orar por ellos”, pidió Trejo el jueves en sus redes sociales.\n\n\nJugador del Club Sport Marítimo de La Guaira, Trejo, de 38 años, reside con su familia desde hace años en Playa Grande, una de las zonas en las que cientos de edificios, incluído el suyo, quedaron reducidos a escombros luego de los terremotos.\n\n\nCuando ocurrieron los dos terremotos consecutivos, el futbolista se encontraba en Caracas en una concentración con su equipo. Al enterarse de la noticia viajó de emergencia hasta su domicilio en La Guaira, ubicado en la residencia Cumanagoto, un edificio construido frente a la playa.\n\n\n“Lo que encontró fue un escenario horrible. No encontró absolutamente nada de lo que era el edificio en sí”, contó a CNN este viernes Ricardo Ardiles, su cuñado. No se sabe si al momento del hecho tanto su esposa, Yanina Maranella, como sus dos hijos menores de edad se encontraban en el departamento, precisó Ardiles. “La esperanza nuestra es que no hayan estado allí”, dijo.\n\n\nEn las últimas horas, Trejo estuvo en el lugar intentando remover escombros y buscando rastros en los alrededores, aún sin ningún indicio. Pidió ayuda y colaboración para continuar con la búsqueda, para la que se precisa de maquinaria pesada.\n\n\nAmigos y compañeros del futbolista argentino dieron a conocer un video este viernes desde la zona del derrumbe del edificio. Allí cuentan que están en el lugar ayudándolo con la búsqueda y piden colaboración para poder seguir con las tareas.\n\n\n“En estos momentos solamente contamos con una máquina, pero no es suficiente”, dice en el video el futbolista venezolano Robert Garcés, amigo de Trejo. Pide una serie de maquinarias aptas para poder agilizar las tareas en el terreno “y mucha ayuda humana”.\n\n\nAl menos 920 personas murieron tras los devastadores terremotos, de acuerdo con las cifras oficiales más recientes dadas a conocer este viernes por el Gobierno de Venezuela. Jorge Rodríguez, presidente de la Asamblea Nacional, dijo que más de 170 personas permanecían atrapadas bajo los escombros de las más de 380 edificaciones que contabilizaban derrumbadas, la mayoría de ellas en La Guaira.\n\n\n“Lucas está desbordado emocionalmente, está desesperado buscando a su familia”, contó su cuñado, pareja de una hermana de Lucas. En las primeras horas después de los sismos, dijo, no tenían idea de la magnitud de lo sucedido.\n\n\nRecién en la madrugada del jueves la familia recibió mensajes de Lucas en los que les contaba que no podía localizar a su esposa y a sus hijos. “Es muy desgarrador todo lo que se vivió desde ese momento”, dijo Ardiles, “rogamos a Dios que puedan salir con vida”.\n\n\nHasta el momento se desconoce la cifra oficial de las personas que están desaparecidas y el Gobierno de la presidenta encargada Delcy Rodríguez no ha dado números al respecto. Algunos gobiernos, entre ellos España y Panamá, sí han precisado los ciudadanos de sus países que se encontraban en Venezuela y de quienes desconocen su paradero, cifras que superan los cientos de desaparecidos.\n\n\nEn paralelo, algunos venezolanos en el exterior impulsan registros en plataformas digitales para reportar a personas buscadas.\n\n\nSon horas de desesperación para muchos venezolanos dentro y fuera del país que aún no logran localizar a sus seres queridos. El Gobierno de Venezuela desplegó un operativo de búsqueda y rescate, al que este viernes comenzaron a sumarse varias delegaciones internacionales que llegaron al país sudamericano para brindar ayuda.\n\n\nNo obstante, en algunas zonas afectadas crecían los reclamos de quienes pedían más personal para acelerar la búsqueda dentro de estas primeras 72 horas, cruciales para los rescates con vida.\n\n\nUno de esos reclamos es el de Ana Rivas, madre de Maryelis. La mujer contó a CNN este viernes que desde el miércoles espera que los equipos de auxilio logren sacar a su hija, quien quedó atrapada en un edificio derrumbado de Caracas.\n\n\n“Ayer sacaron a su esposo, ya sin vida. Las autoridades hacen, pero todavía no se ven los resultados. Todavía está mi hija bajo esos escombros. Hemos pedido que traigan maquinaria, desde el miércoles mi hija está ahí y no sabemos si vive, no sabemos si muere”, dijo Rivas en llanto.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The SU Lounge is a premium space for students to use as a sanctuary and a place to focus.\n\n\n\n\"To have a new home for our students, the concept came from seeing the needs as our community grows, and as El Paso continues to expand, part of the problem that comes with that is traffic,\" said Benjamin Arriola, President of Southwest University.\n\n\n\nArriola said the growth in the city has also increased traffic and the time it takes for their students to commute, so the SU Lounge was created. \n\n\n\n\"We saw an opportunity for students who maybe they work, maybe they have families at home and maybe they just can't afford to spend an hour driving through traffic, back and forth,\" said Arriola. \"We opened a lounge so they can come and study, feel at home get pampered a little and really be able to use this as a resource to complete their education close to home.\" \n\n\n\nThe SU Lounge Montana location opened its doors this week and is located at 12703 Montana Ave., Suites B1 and B2. University administrators describe the space as a sanctuary and designed \"for focus\" with comfortable seating that offer a quiet area to study.

We are pleased to see this progress and continue to work with the government to expand access to Mythos 5 and make Fable 5 available for general use again,” the statement added.\n\n\nConversations between Anthropic and the government are expected to continue into the weekend, with an eye to restoring access to Fable, as well, a source familiar with the discussions told CNN.\n\n\nEarlier this month, Anthropic disabled customer access to both Mythos and Fable to comply with the US government’s order to suspend all use by foreign nationals — including Anthropic employees themselves.\n\n\nThe export ban and subsequent negotiations with Anthropic underscored the lack of a consistent regulatory framework around AI, even as the technology advances rapidly and the US tries to stay ahead of global competitors like China.\n\n\nSemafor first reported the government’s permission to release Mythos.\n\n\nUntil recently, the Trump administration has taken a largely hands-off approach to regulating artificial intelligence, seeking to keep US companies ahead of Chinese competitors in particular.\n\n\nBut the recent action on Anthropic, as well as asking OpenAI to limit its own newest model, comes after experts have fretted for months that Mythos could pose a security risk by giving hackers and other bad actors access to AI capable of finding and exploiting vulnerabilities exceptionally quickly.\n\n\nThe federal government’s relationship with Anthropic, one of the major US AI companies, has hit other snags, as well. Earlier this year, the administration labeled it a “supply chain risk,” effectively blacklisting it, over a disagreement about military uses for Anthropic’s products.\n\n\nAnthropic sued over that designation and has notched at least one early win in the ongoing case.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The list for required literature includes sections of the Book of Exodus for fifth graders, The Shepherd's Psalm for seventh graders and more.\n\n\n\nBoard discussions about the required reading list took place Friday morning and touched on issues related to the implementation timeline and the question of teacher autonomy in deciding which works should be required reading.\n\n\n\nAuthors appearing on the approved required reading list include E.B. White, Shel Silverstein, Aesop, Kurt Vonnegut, Elie Wiesel and more.\n\n\n\nThe list will impact the more than 5 million students enrolled in public schools across the state.\n\n\n\nJulie Pickren, a Republican member of the Texas education board, told The Texas Tribune last week, prior to the list's passage, that the readings are intended to give students \"important insight into the moral and philosophical traditions that have shaped Western civilization.\"\n\n\n\n\"When students engage directly with original writings, speeches, sermons, and foundational texts, they can evaluate ideas and develop a deeper understanding of the principles that have shaped the USA and Texas,\" she told the outlet.\n\n\n\nTexas education board member Evelyn Brooks was outspoken during the hearing in opposition to the list, saying it removed teacher autonomy and arguing that it was \"unconstitutional.\"\n\n\n\n\"Teachers need to have their autonomy. They've been selecting books for decades, for years. This is nothing new. This is not a new concept to teachers,\" she said. \"We are simply giving them a mandated list, which I believe is unconstitutional, but regardless of what I believe, let's not take their autonomy away.\"\n\n\n\nAntero Garcia, a professor in the graduate school of education at Stanford University and a former high school English teacher, told ABC News he believes the new curriculum is a significant shift in how children in Texas are educated.\n\n\n\n\"It is a substantive reshaping of ... what kids are supposed to learn throughout the state of Texas over their 13 years of compulsory public education,\" Garcia said.\n\n\n\nGarcia, who said the required reading list represents what he believes is a first-of-its-kind action at the state level, said the move could be emulated by similarly minded states moving forward.\n\n\n\n\"Oftentimes, where Texas goes, other states will follow, right? So, this is a pretty substantial move that I could imagine other states picking up and moving forward with as a possibility,\" he said.\n\n\n\nGarcia recognized that the Bible \"has been taught as a work of literature across non-religious and secular contexts\" and is \"an important formative work of literature, whether or not we want to think of it as doctrine or gospel.\"\n\n\n\n\"There is literary value in reading the Bible, and I don't want to diminish that kind of obvious point,\" he said.\n\n\n\nHowever, he noted that no other religious texts are included on the list aside from the Bible, adding that over many years, that exposure could potentially steer kids toward Christianity.\n\n\n\n\"You are going to get substantial exposure to a singular text across your public schooling experience in ways where you aren't going to get an other kind of religious text anywhere else in that mandated list,\" he said. \"I could imagine this orienting young people towards particular kinds of dispositions that are rooted in in Christianity as a result.\"\n\n\n\nABC News has reached out to the Texas State Board of Education for comment.\n\n\n\n\nThe post Texas education board votes to make Bible passages required reading appeared first on KVIA.","url":"https://kvia.com/news/2026/06/26/texas-education-board-votes-to-make-bible-passages-required-reading-2/","source":"KVIA ABC-7","author":"ABC News","publishDate":"2026-06-26T23:47:53.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.unsplash.com%2Fphoto-1518780664697-55e3ad937233%3Fw%3D800%26h%3D500%26fit%3Dcrop","slug":"texas-education-board-votes-to-make-bible-passages-required-reading"},{"id":"1te4yr","title":"I’m Almost Home Animal Rescue plans to shut its doors","excerpt":"var cachebuster = Math.round(new Date().getTime() / 1000);\n        var player = new Playerjs({id:\"player_39a70fa3-2cf9-4e20-803c-05194bd381d9\", file:\"https://vz-b56b3373-39a.b-cdn.net/39a70fa3-2cf9-4e20-803c-05194bd381d9/playlist.m3u8\", poster:\"https://vz-b56b3373-39a.b-cdn.net/39a70fa3-2cf9-4e20...","content":"var cachebuster = Math.round(new Date().getTime() / 1000);\n        var player = new Playerjs({id:\"player_39a70fa3-2cf9-4e20-803c-05194bd381d9\", file:\"https://vz-b56b3373-39a.b-cdn.net/39a70fa3-2cf9-4e20-803c-05194bd381d9/playlist.m3u8\", poster:\"https://vz-b56b3373-39a.b-cdn.net/39a70fa3-2cf9-4e20-803c-05194bd381d9/thumbnail_e0d6dda9.jpg\", label:\"https://vz-b56b3373-39a.b-cdn.net/39a70fa3-2cf9-4e20-803c-05194bd381d9/playlist.m3u8\" , \n        vast_replace:{\"[wpcategory]\":\"news\",\"[wprand]\":\"\"+cachebuster+\"\"}});\nEL PASO, Texas (KVIA) – I'm Almost Home Animal Rescue will shut its doors permanently within the next couple weeks.

She says more dogs are on the streets after a gap in care for spaying & neutering during COVID. She says more people are looking for small breeds that can be more manageable.

Avery says she has more animals and less volunteers. \n\n\n\nAvery says she can no longer bear the cost of housing so many animals. Between the food and the healthcare, it's too much for her to carry on her own. The costs are what's forcing her to close the doors at I'm Almost Home Animal Rescue. \n\n\n\nAvery hopes to have all the dogs left at her rescue in homes within a month. She says the community  can help by volunteering to walk the dogs, adopt and foster or by donating to their local shelters. \n\n\n\nI'm Almost Home Rescue needs volunteers to walk their dogs on the weekends between 9 and 11:30 a.m..

Ahora, una amenaza similar apenas genera impacto.\n\n\nEsto se debe, en gran medida, a un fallo de la Corte Suprema emitido en febrero que despojó al presidente de su herramienta más poderosa para imponer aranceles y lo dejó con opciones mucho más limitadas para cumplir sus amenazas. Sin embargo, la decisión no ha impedido que Trump siga intentándolo.\n\n\nEl viernes, Trump publicó en Truth Social que cualquier país europeo que implemente un impuesto a los servicios digitales será objeto “de inmediato” de un arancel del 100 % sobre todos los bienes enviados a Estados Unidos. Agregó que ese gravamen “prevalecerá sobre los acuerdos comerciales” ya vigentes.\n\n\nLos “servicios digitales” abarcan una amplia variedad de actividades comerciales, desde la publicidad de Google hasta las reproducciones de Spotify. Los impuestos a los servicios digitales están diseñados para que los Gobiernos recauden ingresos de grandes empresas que operan en línea, incluso cuando esos negocios no obtienen ganancias.\n\n\nDado que muchas de las empresas tecnológicas más grandes son estadounidenses, Trump ha sostenido anteriormente que los impuestos a los servicios digitales las perjudican de manera desproporcionada. El Servicio de Investigación del Congreso (CRS, por sus siglas en inglés), un organismo oficialmente no partidista, coincidió con esa evaluación en determinados casos.\n\n\nHace algunos meses, cuando Trump cumplió amenazas similares, invocó la Ley de Poderes Económicos de Emergencia Internacional (IEEPA, por sus siglas en inglés), una legislación de 1974 que, según el Gobierno, le otorgaba la autoridad para imponer aranceles con rapidez. Ningún presidente anterior había utilizado esa ley con ese propósito y, finalmente, la Corte Suprema determinó que hacerlo excedía las facultades presidenciales.\n\n\n“Cuando el Congreso otorga la facultad de imponer aranceles, lo hace de forma clara y con restricciones cuidadosamente establecidas”, escribió el presidente de la Corte Suprema, John Roberts, en la opinión mayoritaria. “En este caso no hizo ninguna de las dos cosas”.\n\n\n“Ninguna de las facultades que el Congreso ha otorgado al presidente para imponer aranceles le permite hacerlo cuando quiera”, afirmó Jeffrey Schwab, abogado principal y director de litigios del Liberty Justice Center, organización que encabezó el caso sobre los aranceles ante la Corte Suprema. “A menos que se sigan esos procedimientos y se cumplan las condiciones establecidas, el presidente no puede imponer aranceles”, dijo Schwab a CNN este viernes.\n\n\nTras el fallo de febrero, el Gobierno recurrió a un plan B más complejo: un arancel uniforme del 10 % cuya vigencia expirará el próximo mes. El presidente también puso en marcha una serie de investigaciones amparadas en una legislación comercial conocida como la Sección 301, que eventualmente podría derivar en aranceles más altos, aunque el proceso podría tardar varios meses.\n\n\nDurante su primer mandato, Trump inició varias investigaciones bajo la Sección 301 sobre los impuestos a los servicios digitales aplicados por países europeos. Sin embargo, esas investigaciones no terminaron en un aumento de los aranceles. En cambio, se utilizaron principalmente como herramienta de negociación.\n\n\nExiste la posibilidad de que Trump vuelva a recurrir a esas investigaciones para acelerar el proceso en esta ocasión. Sin embargo, la imposición inmediata de aranceles del 100 % parece poco probable debido a las limitaciones establecidas por la legislación comercial.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

This is good for UTEP, and it’s good for El Paso. I know our city is going to support this program to a level where we’re consistently competing for and winning championships.”\n\n\n\nThe Miners continue to grow their resources thanks to the generosity of supporters like the Fosters, but the work isn’t done, Senter said.  \n\n\n\nAs the Miners embark on Phase Two of the “Climb Higher’ campaign, they’ve established goals for the first three years in the Mountain West. \n\n\n\nThese include: increasing the number of Miner Athletic Club (MAC) donors from 1,750 to 2,500; raising the number of Gold Standard Giving Society members (contributing $30,000 or more to the MAC) from 70 to 100; and lifting the number of season ticket holders across all sports from 8,500 to 10,500.     \n\n\n\n“Any level of contribution makes a difference,” said UTEP Deputy Athletic Director and Chief Revenue Officer Michael Levy. “You can become a MAC donor for as little as nine dollars and 15 cents a month. Or you can purchase a season ticket for football or men’s basketball for as low as $90.”\n\n\n\nAt the event, Levy revealed new initiatives designed to enhance fans’ game day experience starting this fall. \n\n\n\nGiveaway items will be instituted for all six ticketed sports, including five of six football home games. \n\n\n\nIn-game fireworks will be returning for football. \n\n\n\nThe home opener versus Texas Southern (Sept. 12) will feature post-game fireworks, and the Homecoming game against Oregon State (Sept. 26) will include a post-game drone show. \n\n\n\nThe football game promotions will tie in with the Mountain West opponent (i.e., ‘Miner Lu’au’ for the Hawai’i game), and campus concessionaire Sodexo will have special food offerings for each contest that correspond with the game theme. \n\n\n\nFootball season ticket holders will receive a commemorative Mountain West item. A new football tailgating experience will be unveiled on Glory Field, and a new family section is also being implemented, where youth 12 and under get in free.  \n\n\n\n“We’re putting our fans first this fall,” Levy said. “We’re even asking our fans to select the kickoff time for our Innovation Day football game versus San Jose State [October 17], and they can vote up until July 1. We’re elevating the game day experience for our fans, and we’re thrilled to bring new energy and excitement to all of our venues.”    \n\n\n\nHELP THE MINERS ‘REACH THE PEAK’      \n\n\n\nSeason tickets for UTEP football, men’s and women’s basketball, soccer and volleyball are on sale now by calling (915) 747-UTEP or visiting www.UTEPMiners.com/Tickets.

Democrats could send still more to Congress by the time November’s races are set, with hopefuls on the ballot in several states across the country.\n\n\nIt’s a movement that appears set to push the Democratic Party further to the left. Yet the tenets of socialism — much less democratic socialism — are still far removed from the communist ideology that Trump has loudly, and inaccurately, portrayed as a rising threat.\n\n\nThe democratic socialists rising within the Democratic Party are advocating for major policy changes within the US’ already established capitalist system, chiefly through a significant bolstering of the social safety net. That includes directing greater public funding toward guaranteeing health care for all citizens, providing far more in housing assistance and relying on the government to a much greater degree to lift peoples’ quality of life.\n\n\nThe main tradeoff for those benefits is higher taxes, especially on the wealthy, which democratic socialists contend is necessary to ensure a more balanced and equal society.\n\n\nThat’s a view that has raised the ire of Republicans, and even factions within the Democratic Party, who are opposed to such change — or believe that it’s more prudent to make change incrementally.\n\n\nYet even that aggressive platform is far from what would typically be defined as communism, which envisions a government-less, class-less society where resources are distributed evenly no matter how hard or well any individuals work. Implementing such an ideology would first require effectively dismantling capitalism — a step that no leading Democrats see as preferable or feasible.\n\n\nThose clear differences between democratic socialism and communism aren’t likely to deter Trump, whose party faces an uphill battle in retaining full control of Congress. On Friday, speaking at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s 2026 Policy Conference, he warned that Democrats’ “communist” policies would lead to societal collapse — and possibly even violence.\n\n\n“I’m sorry to say, but assassination is a big deal for them,” he said, speaking at the same Washington, DC, hotel where earlier this year a gunman who authorities say was attempting to kill him was subdued. “They’re animals in many cases.”\n\n\nThe president also cast the struggle against communism in religious terms, referencing violence against Christians in Nigeria and warning of dire consequences domestically.\n\n\n“They will close your churches in this country. They go communist, and they’re trying to. They will kill your people, and that’s what they’re about. They want to end religion,” he said.\n\n\nIt was a sharp contrast compared to his evaluation just days earlier of the leader of an actual communist country: China’s Xi Jinping.\n\n\n“He’s a very smart man,” Trump told Axios in an interview published last week. “You don’t get to those levels where you are running a country, even if it was a small country, you have something special.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Las Fuerzas Armadas de Estados Unidos no han confirmado esos ataques.\n\n\nEl vicepresidente J. D. Vance, quien desempeñó un papel central en la negociación del acuerdo con Irán anunciado la semana pasada, afirmó este viernes por la noche que “la violencia será respondida con violencia”.\n\n\n“Irán firmó un acuerdo de cese del fuego. Nosotros lo hemos respetado. Si tienen desacuerdos sobre la forma en que se está aplicando el memorando de entendimiento, pueden levantar el teléfono”, escribió en X junto con el comunicado del CENTCOM. “Pero la violencia será respondida con violencia”.\n\n\nLos ataques estadounidenses se produjeron después de que el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, calificara este viernes el ataque iraní con drones contra el buque como una “violación insensata” del acuerdo para poner fin a la guerra con Irán, aunque no dio indicios de que el incidente fuera a provocar una reanudación de las hostilidades a gran escala.\n\n\nConsultado este viernes por la tarde sobre si Irán enfrentaría consecuencias, Trump se limitó a responder a los periodistas desde la Oficina Oval: “Lo descubrirán”.\n\n\nEl presidente reaccionó por primera vez al ataque iraní la mañana del viernes, varias horas después de que ocurriera.\n\n\n“La República Islámica de Irán lanzó al menos cuatro drones de ataque unidireccional contra buques que transitaban por el estrecho de Ormuz. Uno de los drones impactó de lleno la cubierta superior de un gran y muy costoso buque de carga”,, escribió en Truth Social.\n\n\n“Hubo daños, pero el buque pudo continuar su trayecto”, añadió. “Derribamos los otros tres drones. Obviamente, esta es una violación insensata de nuestro acuerdo de cese del fuego”.\n\n\nUnas horas más tarde, Trump dijo que el incidente demostraba que Irán aún conservaba parte de su capacidad militar, pese a la guerra de varios meses librada por Estados Unidos.\n\n\n“Todavía tenemos un conflicto. Tienen cierta capacidad, no mucha. No están ganando ni nada parecido, pero aún tienen capacidad; todavía pueden disparar”, dijo ante un grupo de cristianos conservadores en Washington.\n\n\n“Nadie lo vio venir”, afirmó sobre el ataque iraní. “Impactó un buque y causó algunos daños. No pueden hacer ese tipo de cosas”.\n\n\nMás tarde, durante el evento en la Oficina Oval, Trump evitó decir cómo o si Estados Unidos respondería al incidente, ocurrido un día antes y que puso de relieve las dificultades persistentes para restablecer el tráfico marítimo a los niveles previos a la guerra en esa estratégica vía de navegación.\n\n\n“No me gusta el hecho de que ayer dispararan”, respondió Trump cuando le preguntaron si seguía considerando vigente el cese del fuego. “No era un barco aliado, pero era un barco. Un barco muy costoso. Quedó bien, pero recibió algunos daños. No deberían hacer eso”.\n\n\nInsistido nuevamente sobre una posible respuesta de Estados Unidos, respondió: “Ya lo descubrirán”. Acto seguido, dio por terminada la conferencia de prensa.\n\n\nEl Comando Central de Estados Unidos, responsable de supervisar las operaciones militares estadounidenses en la región, remitió inicialmente a la declaración de Trump cuando fue consultado sobre el ataque. Una cuenta del Departamento de Defensa publicó en X tres emojis de la bandera de Estados Unidos sobre una captura de pantalla de la publicación de Trump en Truth Social.\n\n\nSe trata del primer incidente de este tipo desde que Estados Unidos e Irán firmaron un memorando de entendimiento para reabrir el estrecho y dar inicio a negociaciones más profundas sobre el programa nuclear iraní. Trump ha dado pocas señales de estar dispuesto a reanudar la guerra, de la que reconoció la semana pasada que podría haber provocado una “catástrofe económica” si se hubiera prolongado.\n\n\nIrán considera que el control de esa vía marítima constituye un importante elemento de presión en las negociaciones. El jueves, la Guardia Revolucionaria Islámica advirtió que solo garantizaría el paso seguro de los buques que transitaran por rutas autorizadas por Irán.\n\n\nEl acuerdo entre Estados Unidos e Irán establecía que el tráfico por el estrecho volvería a los mismos niveles registrados antes del inicio de la guerra, aunque no fijó condiciones detalladas para cumplir sus disposiciones.\n\n\nAmbas partes han ofrecido interpretaciones distintas sobre si Irán podrá cobrar tarifas a los buques que atraviesen el estrecho. Trump ha insistido en que la navegación seguirá siendo gratuita, mientras que Teherán sostiene que tendrá derecho a cobrar por el tránsito de las embarcaciones.\n\n\nEl ataque del jueves ocurrió horas después de que la Guardia Revolucionaria Islámica advirtiera que los buques solo recibirían paso seguro si utilizaban rutas iraníes en el estrecho, desafiando la afirmación del Gobierno de Trump de que la vía marítima volvía a estar libre y abierta. Estados Unidos levantó su bloqueo sobre los puertos iraníes una vez firmado el acuerdo.\n\n\nEl buque de carga fue impactado en su costado de estribor por un proyectil de origen desconocido, lo que provocó daños en el puente de mando, según informó Operaciones Marítimas Comerciales del Reino Unido (UKMTO, por sus siglas en inglés), organismo que monitorea el tráfico marítimo en la región. No se reportaron víctimas ni daños ambientales.\n\n\nEsta historia fue actualizada con información adicional.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The opposite page has an image of the “The Declaration of Independence” painting by John Trumbull.\n\n\nThe new passport appears to feature a rendering of Trump based off of the president’s portrait from the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, and differs from renderings released by the State Department earlier this year, which featured a different image of the president.\n\n\nThe White House X account later on Friday posted an image featuring the same rendering from the Truth Social post, captioned “New U.S. Passport to Commemorate America’s 250th.”\n\n\nThe White House directed questions to the State Department when asked if the latest image was the official rendering of the commemorative passports. CNN has reached out to the State Department for comment.\n\n\nThe new limited-edition travel document was first announced in April as part of the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration. It was billed as “a limited-edition U.S. passport to commemorate the historic occasion of America’s 250th anniversary,” featuring “custom artwork and enhanced images on the front, back, and inside covers.”\n\n\nSpeaking to CNN at the time, an official said that the passport “will be the default passport out of the Washington Passport Agency when available” for those who renew their passports in person at that location.\n\n\n“Online options or other locations will maintain existing passport design,” the official said.\n\n\nCurrently, the inside front cover of US passports shows an image of Percy Moran’s painting of Francis Scott Key the morning after the bombardment of Fort McHenry — the battle that inspired Key to write what would become the US national anthem.

Harry came alone to his father King Charles III’s coronation in 2023.\n\n\nThe prince reunited with his father for the first time in 19 months in September last year, with Charles and Harry sharing a private tea at Clarence House. The face-to-face meeting came as King Charles underwent treatment for cancer, and triggered speculation that the royal family’s long-running rift might be coming to an end. The pair have reportedly been in contact since, though Harry still appears to be estranged from his brother Prince William.\n\n\nMost recently, Harry returned to London in January to attend court as part of a lawsuit he and others have brought against the publisher of the Daily Mail over allegations of unlawful information gathering and phone hacking.\n\n\nAfter the UK Home Office removed Harry’s taxpayer-funded security arrangements when he stepped down from royal duties, the prince told the BBC last year: “I can’t see a world in which I will be bringing his wife and children back to the UK at this point.” The security arrangements for the family’s upcoming trip have not been made public, but while in royal residence the family would be protected by existing security arrangements.\n\n\nThe July trip will see Prince Harry celebrate a year until the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham, the sporting competition for military personnel injured in service that he founded over a decade ago.\n\n\nHe will have other engagements in the Midlands relating to other causes he supports. The visit starts with Invictus related events in London where Meghan will also join him. Their children are not expected to attend any public engagements, and details about their private time are not being shared.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Sus jugadores lo elogian, lo admiran, pero también lo cuestionan. Deja a muy pocos indiferentes, pero, desde hace cuatro décadas, cuando empezó a dirigir, la palabra que mejor lo describe es la de su seudónimo: “el loco” Bielsa.\n\n\nÉl mismo contó que el sobrenombre se lo puso su compañero de trabajo Carlos Picerni, cuando trabajaba en las divisiones formativas de Newell’s Old Boys de Rosario, en Argentina: “Todos teníamos diferente cantidad de divisiones. Él tenía tres edades, tres divisiones: Cuarta, Quinta y Sexta. Y yo tenía solo una. Y mis entrenamientos duraban más que los tres de él, entonces él me decía que yo estaba loco. De ahí quedó”.\n\n\nPero, si una de las acepciones que la RAE le da a la palabra “loco” es “que excede en mucho a lo ordinario o presumible”, no cabe duda de que el seudónimo le cabe como anillo al dedo.\n\n\nMarcelo Bielsa pocas veces calza lo común. Sus actitudes no suelen ser las habituales: desde ver los partidos sentado en una conservadora hasta sus conferencias de prensa eternas, casi siempre mirando hacia abajo y pocas veces a los ojos del interlocutor. Desde sus paseos por la rambla de Montevideo hasta sus visitas a partidos aparentemente poco atractivos del fútbol uruguayo en canchas chicas, sentado en el cemento frío, junto a los hinchas del barrio.\n\n\nEntrenamientos extensos, reacciones sorpresivas, renuncias inesperadas y su nerviosismo extremo y autocrítica implacable en el análisis, Bielsa llena todos los casilleros de una persona fuera de lo común.\n\n\nDurante su carrera ha dado numerosas muestras de su obsesión por el detalle y hasta cierto grado de capricho en sus decisiones. Por ejemplo, sus campos de entrenamiento deben tener características específicas que suele poner por contrato. Y, si no se cumple lo que quiere, a veces lo resuelve personalmente: según el diario AS de España, cuando dirigía la selección chilena llegó a ser visto de madrugada clavando estacas de madera alrededor de la cancha.\n\n\nRespecto a esa devoción por el detalle y el análisis audiovisual de los partidos, la prensa argentina publicó que durante su etapa de seleccionador argentino tenía un reproductor de video en su vehículo, y que al Mundial de Corea-Japón 2002 viajó con una enorme colección de videos. Algunos reportes hablan de 7.000.\n\n\nAntes de entrenar al Athletic de Bilbao dijo haber visto decenas de partidos de su nuevo equipo: “Vi cada uno de los 42 partidos dos veces para profundizar datos. Fui agregando fotos para conocer aún más profundamente la fisonomía de cada jugador y demostrar que, si tengo que saludar, sepa a quién le doy la mano”, dijo, según publicó Marca.\n\n\nEl hermano de Marcelo, el excanciller argentino Rafael Bielsa, escribió un libro que cuenta algunas de esas anécdotas que pintan de frente y perfil al entrenador.\n\n\nEn una parte del libro “Argentina, una luz de almacén” narra lo siguiente:\n\n\n“Es la noche del 28 de diciembre; suena el teléfono y respondo. Miro la hora: las 11 y media. Mi hermano Marcelo me habla desde la ruta. \n\n\n– ¿Te acordás del 31 de mayo del ‘98, cuando te dediqué el campeonato de Vélez en “Fútbol de Primera”? —me descerraja a boca de jarro.\n\n\n– Cómo no me voy a acordar. \n\n\n– Bueno —continúa, inexorable—, creo que no debí haberlo hecho. \n\n\nPor una décima de segundo me estremezco. Lo imagino irrumpiendo en “Fútbol de Primera” a paso redoblado, dispuesto a enmendar la injusticia retirándome el homenaje; involuntariamente, aprieto el puño como atrapando un talismán.\n\n\n– Tengo tres razones —se explica—. La primera es que uno no debería disponer de la totalidad de lo que sólo es parcialmente propio. Aquella noche, campeones habíamos salido todos, los jugadores y yo, de manera tal que, al haber estado ausente del programa el plantel completo, yo no debí apropiarme de ninguna manera de lo que no era mío. La segunda razón es que, si una dedicatoria contiene un sentido eminentemente personal, ya que uno expresa un sentimiento íntimo, de dicho modo debería hacérsela llegar al destinatario, y no por televisión. En tercer lugar —cierra— uno no debe dar al periodismo una herramienta tan poderosa como el conocimiento de la propia emotividad desnuda. Si todos los que acceden a ella le fueran a dar el trato que merece un sentimiento noble, podría ser, pero no hay garantías, no hay garantías”.\n\n\nEn otro libro, este de su exdirigido Juan Sebastián “la Brujita” Verón, se cuenta otra historia de las suyas. Una vez, siendo seleccionador argentino, convocó a sus jugadores y les hizo votar si preferían defender con línea de tres o con línea de cuatro. Ganó la línea de cuatro. Cuando terminó de contar los votos, miró la pizarra donde se anotaban las voluntades, y le dijo al plantel: “Bueno, esto demuestra cuál es el módulo preferido de ustedes. Les quiero anunciar, entonces, que vamos a jugar con línea de tres”.\n\n\nBielsa gusta de estudiar a sus rivales no solamente en video. En algún momento solía enviar espías a ver los entrenamientos de los otros equipos. Lo hizo así antes de un partido con el Derby County, mientras dirigía al Leeds United. Pero fue descubierto y denunciado. Bielsa lo reconoció sin excusas y dijo haber pagado de su bolsillo la sanción de 200.000 libras que recibió el Leeds. “Es una sanción financiera contra el club, no contra mí, pero yo soy el responsable”, explicó en 2019.\n\n\nTambién en el Leeds hizo que su plantilla recogiera la basura en los alrededores del lugar de entrenamiento, según contó su traductor en el equipo inglés, Salim Lamrani, en su libro “El fútbol según Bielsa”. Además de limpiar el complejo, la lección que pretendió darles, cuenta Larmani, era que entendieran lo que le cuesta a un aficionado pagar la entrada para ir a verlos jugar.\n\n\n“Soy una persona tímida, obsesiva, mecanizada. No me gusta el desorden, me siento incómodo en ese escenario. Me cuesta actuar suelto, desinhibido, amigable”. Así se describió a sí mismo Marcelo Bielsa durante una larga conferencia realizada en el Museo del Fútbol de Uruguay, en respuesta a declaraciones de Luis Suárez, respecto a su forma de comunicarse con el plantel.\n\n\nBielsa respondió: “Dentro de esa forma de ser, siempre fui calificado positivamente por la gente que conviví, porque se ve que hay otros valores que pueden generar aceptación”, aunque reconoció no haber conseguido, hasta ese momento, la aceptación del grupo seleccionado uruguayo.\n\n\nY, sin abandonar la autocrítica, abundó sobre sí mismo: “yo soy tóxico”.“El que se relaciona conmigo, empeora. Hay tipos tóxicos que solo ven el error, que demandan, que no están satisfechos con nada, que les gusta hablar solo del trabajo, que va a comer y lleva un diario porque no quiere integrarse para no tener que hablar de cosas que lo alejen, y yo lo vivo como un karma”.\n\n\n“¿Saben en qué está basada esa conducta? En el miedo. Uno no disfruta por ganar; teme por perder. Esa obsesividad está en la búsqueda de recursos que te alejen de la derrota y te acerquen a la victoria”, concluyó un tal Marcelo “el Loco” Bielsa.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

estadounidenses se muestran cada vez más optimistas sobre la economía, según nuevos datos publicados este viernes.\n\n\nLa confianza del consumidor subió este mes de una lectura anterior de 48,9 a una cifra final de 49,5, mostró la más reciente encuesta de la Universidad de Michigan.\n\n\nLa lectura inicial marcó el primer aumento en la confianza desde febrero, antes de que la guerra entre Estados Unidos e Israel con Irán elevara los precios mundiales de la energía.\n\n\nLos precios en las gasolineras alcanzaron máximos casi históricos después de que el conflicto en Medio Oriente casi provocara el cierre del estrecho de Ormuz, una vía marítima clave que permite el flujo de petróleo entre continentes. Esta situación derivó en dos lecturas consecutivas de confianza del consumidor en mínimos récord, ya que los estadounidenses destinaban una mayor parte de su presupuesto a la gasolina.\n\n\nLos precios del combustible han descendido en las últimas semanas gracias a que se mantiene, en gran medida, un frágil alto el fuego, lo que ha propiciado una recuperación de la confianza del consumidor.\n\n\nNo obstante, los consumidores siguen mostrando un pesimismo considerable respecto a la economía en comparación con la situación previa al inicio del conflicto. Los datos de la Universidad de Michigan reflejan un descenso del 13 % en la confianza con respecto a febrero.\n\n\nA pesar de la moderación de los precios de la gasolina, los costes elevados siguen contribuyendo a la percepción negativa sobre la economía.\n\n\n“Por tercer mes consecutivo, más de la mitad de los consumidores mencionaron espontáneamente que los precios elevados afectan negativamente a sus finanzas personales”, señaló Joanne Hsu, directora de encuestas de la Universidad de Michigan.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

El primero fue de magnitud 7,2. El segundo ocurrió solo 39 segundos después y fue de 7,5.\n\n\nEste es un fenómeno poco común conocido como “doblete sísmico”, en el que dos movimientos de magnitud similar ocurren en lugares cercanos y en rápida sucesión, lo que aumenta las probabilidades de que generen daños.\n\n\nAlgunos especialistas destacan también que el segundo sismo, el de 7,5, tuvo una profundidad de solo 10 kilómetros, de acuerdo con el Servicio Geológico de Estados Unidos (USGS, por sus siglas en inglés). Este factor es importante porque la cercanía con la superficie potencia la capacidad destructiva de un movimiento sísmico.\n\n\n“Al ser eventos tan someros, son muy ricos en ondas superficiales y estas ondas superficiales son ondas muy grandes, son ondas de largo período que son las que afectan principalmente a las infraestructuras”, dijo este viernes el geólogo Rodrigo León Loya en el pódcast “Y esto no es todo”.\n\n\n“Entonces, aquí se están combinando algunos factores: que hayan sido dos sismos, que han sido superficiales y también tenemos que empezar a pensar y evaluar cuál era la vulnerabilidad de las estructuras que se cayeron”, agregó el experto, académico de la Universidad de los Andes en Colombia.\n\n\nDesde los primeros cortes informativos luego de los sismos, las autoridades de Venezuela dijeron que los movimientos se sintieron en prácticamente todo el país y que el punto más afectado es el estado La Guaria, en la zona costera.\n\n\nAdemás, en las horas posteriores a la tragedia, el ministro del Interior, Diosdado Cabello, recomendó a los ciudadanos permanecer afuera de sus casas ante la posibilidad de que hubiera réplicas y hasta que no se verificaran las condiciones de cada construcción.\n\n\nEl presidente de la Asamblea Nacional de Venezuela, Jorge Rodríguez, dijo este viernes que hasta ahora se han registrado alrededor de 300 réplicas.\n\n\nEn el corte informativo de este viernes —el más reciente—, Rodríguez también dijo que hasta ahora hay 920 personas fallecidas debido a los sismos, así como 3.360 heridas.\n\n\nA esto se suma que hay 172 personas atrapadas bajo los escombros de edificios y otras 3.007 damnificadas, informó el diputado.\n\n\nEl Gobierno de la presidenta encargada de Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, reconoce que las cifras de víctimas podrían aumentar conforme avancen las tareas de búsqueda y rescate.\n\n\nHasta ahora, el Gobierno de Venezuela no ha dado una cifra oficial sobre las personas desaparecidas a raíz de los sismos del miércoles, aunque gobiernos de otros países ya han difundido reportes con la información de la que disponen.\n\n\nEl Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores de España, por ejemplo, dijo este viernes que tiene registro de 119 españoles desaparecidos en Venezuela y 14 localizados bajo los escombros. La Cancillería de Panamá también busca localizar a un panameño desaparecido.\n\n\nDesde el miércoles, venezolanos en el exterior han abierto plataformas para reportar a personas desaparecidas y algunos han dicho a CNN sentir angustia por aún no haber podido encontrar a sus seres queridos.\n\n\nEn su corte informativo de este viernes, el presidente de la Asamblea Nacional también habló de los edificios dañados.\n\n\nDe acuerdo con el diputado, el total de construcciones afectadas asciende a 1.423. De ese conjunto, 383 son viviendas unifamiliares o multifamiliares, 13 son hospitales, 25 son centros comerciales y 1.002 son obras catalogadas como “otras estructuras”.\n\n\nEl Gobierno aún no da un estimado del impacto económico de la tragedia. Por su parte, el USGS estima que este puede oscilar entre el 2 % y el 10 % del Producto Interno Bruto (PIB) de Venezuela.\n\n\nDesde la noche del miércoles, la presidenta encargada declaró estado de emergencia en el país para atender la situación. Con ello, anunció la conformación de un equipo que encabece los trabajos y que tenga como prioridad la búsqueda y el rescate de personas con vida.\n\n\nEl jueves, tanto ella como integrantes de este equipo visitaron el estado La Guaira, donde se reunieron con autoridades locales y supervisaron el despliegue de maquinaria pesada para la remoción de escombros. El vicepresidente de Obras Públicas y Servicios, Juan José Ramírez, dijo a la televisora estatal VTV que hasta ese momento se habían desplegado en La Guaira alrededor de 100 equipos de este tipo.\n\n\nPara La Guaira, además, la presidenta encargada declaró zona de desastre natural y ordenó su militarización para atender las afectaciones derivadas de los sismos, según informó este viernes el presidente de la Asamblea Nacional, hermano de la actual mandataria.\n\n\nTambién desde la tarde y noche del miércoles, varios gobiernos y organismos internacionales han expresado su solidaridad con Venezuela y ofrecido su ayuda. De hecho, algunos comenzaron a enviar equipos de apoyo a lo largo del jueves.\n\n\nEl presidente de la Asamblea Nacional dijo este viernes que hasta ahora han llegado a Venezuela 861 rescatistas: 272 de México, 328 de Estados Unidos, 115 de El Salvador, 90 de Suiza, 63 de Colombia, 40 de España, 53 de Ecuador, 34 de Chile, 11 de República Dominicana y 13 de Panamá.\n\n\nSin embargo, la suma de esos equipos equivale a 1.019, una cifra mayor que la brindada por el diputado.\n\n\nLos datos tampoco coinciden con lo reportado por algunos gobiernos que enviaron ayuda. Por ejemplo, México informó el jueves que envió 261 elementos de seguridad y España dijo que fueron 59.\n\n\nCNN contactó al Gobierno de Venezuela para pedir una clarificación sobre estas cifras y está en espera de respuesta.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Pero en el caso de Uruguay, sí lo fue. Con la Celeste marchando sin triunfos en lo que va del Mundial 2026, no son pocos los que recuerdan con cada vez más cariño a la gloriosa selección que devolvió al país sudamericano a la primera plana, con un título de Copa América y un cuarto puesto en el Mundial de 2010. También con aquel doblete de triunfos ante Italia e Inglaterra en 2014.\n\n\nUno de los referentes de aquel plantel fue Edinson Cavani, el artillero de destacados pasos por el Napoli y el Paris Saint-Germain, entre otros, quien se convirtió en el segundo mayor artillero histórico de la Celeste, solo por detrás de Luis Suárez.\n\n\nSu ausencia en el Mundial 2026 no reviste polémica. En mayo de 2024, cuando tenía todavía 37 años y jugando en Boca Juniors (Argentina), el delantero anunció en un posteo en sus redes sociales su retiro de la selección uruguaya.\n\n\nDe manera silenciosa y sin mucho aspaviento, Cavani anunció su despedida del lugar en el que había sido tan feliz. Con una carta dedicada a su “querida Celeste”, el Matador le agradeció “por cada enseñanza que me hiciste vivir en tu proceso”, a “cada una de las personas que formaron parte de este camino” y anunció haber “decidido dar un paso al costado”. “Pero siempre los seguiré con el corazón latente, como cuando me tocaba salir a la cancha con esta hermosa camiseta”, finalizó, antes de terminar con un abrazo “a todo mi pueblo” y un “¡Arriba la Celeste!”.\n\n\nEse fue el mensaje de cierre, aunque el final había ocurrido mucho antes, el 2 de diciembre de 2022, cuando jugó su último partido con Uruguay ante Ghana durante el Mundial de Qatar. Fue una victoria amarga, porque ese día Uruguay fue eliminado por diferencia de goles. A Uruguay le faltó apenas un gol. Un gol que Cavani o alguno de sus compañeros podría haber convertido si el árbitro hubiera sancionado un penal que le cometieron sobre el final del partido. El VAR no revisó la jugada (como sí lo había hecho con otro penal también desestimado —este contra Darwin Nuñez— y como también lo hizo en el penal que sí sancionó a favor de Ghana en el primer tiempo.\n\n\nTal vez por eso, la última imagen de Edinson Cavani con la celeste al pecho lo muestra empujando, enojado, el monitor de un VAR al que consideró muy injusto con la selección uruguaya.\n\n\nA diferencia de su compañero de mil batallas, Luis Suárez, Cavani no reabrió la puerta a la Celeste después de haberla cerrado. No planteó mensajes ambiguos ni guiños hacia el Mundial 2026. Su decisión fue definitiva.\n\n\nTambién fue evidente para él que el entrenador Marcelo Bielsa había iniciado una renovación del ataque, con Darwin Nuñez a la cabeza, y que la exclusión de Cavani y Suárez suponía para él el fin de un ciclo y una señal clara del recambio generacional.\n\n\n“La vida son etapas”, declaró, cuando quedó afuera de las primeras convocatorias de Bielsa. Y agregó otra frase que sonó casi como una despedida anticipada: “Si por ahí el que toma la decisión hoy siente o piensa que yo no estoy a la altura de poder estar, perfecto”.\n\n\nAsí, Cavani cerró una monumental carrera: 136 partidos, 58 goles —cinco en Mundiales—, cuatro Copas del Mundo disputadas, un título de Copa América, la semifinal de Sudáfrica 2010 y la imagen imborrable de aquella noche en Socchi, en 2018, cuando sus dos golazos eliminaron a la Portugal de Cristiano Ronaldo y pusieron a Uruguay en cuartos de final, rubricando una de las actuaciones individuales más disfrutables de Uruguay en una Copa del Mundo.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Su situación podría considerarse privilegiada: más allá de algunos daños materiales en su casa, tanto sus amigos como su familia están a salvo, dice. Pero sabe que las semanas y meses por delante serán difíciles, y que la vida para muchos venezolanos ya no será la misma.\n\n\n“Para todo el mundo va a cambiar la vida”, dice Muñoz a CNN.\n\n\nA los años de crisis económica e inestabilidad política en el país se sumó el 3 de enero pasado la captura del presidente Nicolás Maduro en un operativo militar de Estados Unidos, que generó movimientos políticos y cambios en la estructura de poder que aún, para muchos, no están del todo claros. Ahora, las consecuencias de esta tragedia vuelven a poner presión sobre un escenario ya complejo.\n\n\n“Veníamos de un momento ya crítico como país a nivel económico. Muchas personas no están preparadas para un gasto así”, dice Muñoz mientras habla de los daños que los dos terremotos consecutivos y las cientos de réplicas posteriores han dejado en su departamento y en miles de edificaciones de Venezuela.\n\n\nAl menos 383 edificios han sido afectados de manera total o “importante”, la mayoría de ellas en el estado La Guaira, dijo este viernes el presidente de la Asamblea Nacional de Venezuela, Jorge Rodríguez, en la actualización más reciente sobre los daños de los sismos en el país. Son más de 1000 las infraestrcturas dañadas en total, agregó.\n\n\nUn análisis de CNN señala que décadas de crisis económica y corrupción generalizada en Venezuela sugieren que muchos edificios construídos en las décadas de 1950, 1960 y 1970 probablemente han recibido un mantenimiento deficiente.\n\n\nMuñoz cuenta que, en las primeras horas, muchos venezolanos pensaban que por los efectos del terremoto serían necesarias algunas remodelaciones, pero que ahora lo que ven “es una reconstrucción casi completa”, dice. “Van a venir momentos muy difíciles para el venezolano”.\n\n\nÉl tendrá que reconstruir gran parte de su hogar, ubicado en Los Palos Grandes, al este de Caracas. Paredes dañadas y agrietadas, puertas trabadas, y una pared interna que se derrumbó le hacen pensar que será costoso afrontar el gasto necesario para volver a habitar su casa.\n\n\nMientras tanto, para otros, la reconstrucción se vislumbra más difícil aún.\n\n\nEn la plaza Altamira Sur, las carpas de colores son parte del paisaje. En lo que parece un campamento urbano, decenas de venezolanos pasaron su segunda noche por el riesgo de nuevos derrumbes en sus casas. Muchos de ellos no saben todavía si tendrán un hogar al que regresar una vez que ya las autoridades determinen que es seguro volver.\n\n\nEn La Guaira, Zoely Parra intentaba el jueves por la tarde recuperar unas pocas pertenencias de su madre, Mercedes, que logró salir a tiempo y sobrevivir a los daños del edificio en el que vivía desde hace alrededor de 20 años.\n\n\n“Estamos recuperando sus cosas, por lo menos lo que quedó a la intemperie, tratando de sacar lo más que se pueda”, cuenta Parra a CNN mientras señala a su izquierda una estructura que apenas se sostiene entre paredes rotas y caídas. Detrás de ella hay algunos cuadros y grandes bolsas negras con ropa de su madre que logró recolectar.\n\n\nEste popular destino turístico venezolano, que hasta hace días era uno de los sitios de playa más importantes del país, ahora se asemeja a una zona de guerra, como sus propios residentes lo han descrito.\n\n\nUna ciudad a orillas del mar Caribe con edificios y resorts que, luego de apenas horas en las que dos terremotos de magnitudes 7,2 y 7,5 sacudieron el país, se volvió un escenario irreconocible.\n\n\nLa presidenta encargada de Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, visitó el jueves el estado La Guaira, donde tuvo una reunión con funcionarios para evaluar la situación. Aseguró que la prioridad “se centra en agilizar la toma de decisiones operativas para salvaguardar la vida de la población y asistir a las familias afectadas”, de acuerdo con el comunicado que difundió la Presidencia de Venezuela.\n\n\nÁngel Pimentel, de 45 años, pasó la noche del miércoles a la intemperie junto a su esposa y su hijo. A su alrededor hay un colchón y algunos electrodomésticos que lograron sacar de su edificio de departamentos, ubicado a unos cien metros de donde ellos están sentados.\n\n\n“Solo pude recuperar lo poco que se ve.

He described the 24-hour ordeal as “among the darkest hours of my life.”\n\n\nIn a statement, Michigan State Police said they received an “anonymous report” and that they and Child Protective Services “responded and determined the report was false.”\n\n\nAccording to Buttigieg, a Michigan State Police officer and a child protective services worker came to his home after receiving an anonymous report alleging he posed a danger to his children. He said authorities arranged forensic interviews for his twins and instructed him not to be alone with them until the interviews were complete.\n\n\nThe following day, Buttigieg said investigators told him an anonymous caller claimed he had confessed years earlier to violent crimes during a chance meeting in Alabama. Buttigieg said he had never been to the town where the meeting allegedly occurred. He said police told him the allegation would not be referred to prosecutors, while Child Protective Services found nothing to substantiate the report.\n\n\n“I cannot describe the mix of rage and sadness that I feel at the idea that someone brought our children into this,” writes Buttigieg. “They are four years old. Four. They do not know or care what a Democrat or a Republican is.”\n\n\nButtigieg, who is widely viewed as a potential Democratic presidential candidate in 2028, has long been the target of anti-LGBTQ attacks.\n\n\nIn recent years, conservative activists and some Republican officials have opposed efforts to portray same-sex parents as ordinary families in schools and public life. June — widely recognized as Pride Month — is Strong Families Month in Alabama, intended to coincide with Father’s Day. Gov. Kay Ivey’s proclamation says fathers are “the head of the household” and “homes led by a father and mother provide children with the structure and discipline necessary to succeed throughout life.”\n\n\nButtigieg wrote that the incident occurred soon after he shared photos of his family online for Father’s Day.\n\n\nThe former transportation secretary drew criticism from some Republicans for taking paternity leave after he and his husband Chasten adopted their twins while he was serving in the Biden administration. Buttigieg also wrote that he has faced death threats during his career.\n\n\n“But this is the ugliest thing that has happened to me since my career in service began,” he wrote.\n\n\nPublic officials from across the political spectrum have increasingly been targeted by swatting, which is the act of making a false call to emergency services to prompt a response at a particular address. The goal is to get authorities, particularly a SWAT team, to show up. Law enforcement agencies have warned that the incidents divert resources from other pressing tasks and pose risks to both law enforcement and the victims.\n\n\nButtigieg said the incident reflected a broader escalation in political attacks.\n\n\n“Everyone knows politics is ugly these days,” he wrote. “It’s always been ugly, but now it feels more and more like bloodsport.”\n\n\n“Even so, this is different.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Will the wedding be in New York, where the pop star and football hero have been spotted this summer? Maybe even at Madison Square Garden, where someone has filed a permit to close surrounding streets from July 2 to July 4, as multiple city and law enforcement sources say?\n\n\nAs per the habit of our times, the people are answering these questions and more on the prediction markets that have consumed ever more aspects of American life. Whether or not they actually know the answers is beside the point. Hopefully no one will be arrested for insider trading.\n\n\nPrimarily used for sports and pop culture, prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi allow users to place bets on likely outcomes. Kalshi is CNN’s official prediction market partner. CNN editorial employees are not allowed to trade on prediction markets.\n\n\nFor Swift’s wedding, thriving categories beyond location and timing include: possible bridesmaids and groomsmen, likely guests and whether the betrothed will find time to attend a World Cup match.\n\n\nSwift is, of course, one of the best known musicians on the planet. A UMass Lowell/YouGov poll in March found that 35% of respondents had a favorable opinion of the star, versus 32% unfavorable and 30% who had no opinion (leaving three percent who had somehow never heard of her).\n\n\nA Yahoo/YouGov survey taken just after Swift and Kelce got engaged in August 2025 found that 77% of Americans said they had heard at least a little about the engagement, although just 22% said they cared.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Alito, a conservative who was then set to summarize the next opinion, appeared taken aback by his colleague’s remarks.\n\n\n“There’s much that I would have added to my bench statement had I known there would be a dissent read,” Alito said, an unusual break from protocol during what is normally a highly choregraphed release of opinions.\n\n\nAlito, who authored three of the four opinions released Thursday, suggested at the time that he didn’t realize Sotomayor would read her dissent verbally. Verbal dissents are rare and usually underscore a justice’s strong disagreement with the majority’s opinion.\n\n\nThe back-and-forth came amid signs of strife behind the curtain of the high court as it veers toward its final days of the current term juggling a number of cases involving President Donald Trump and culture war issues. The Alito-Sotomayor exchange came in a case dealing with a policy of turning asylum seekers away at the border, which the conservative majority approved in a 6-3 decision.\n\n\nThe court is set to hand down additional opinions on Monday and is likely to wrap up its term next week.\n\n\nEarlier this year, it was Sotomayor who had to explain her words. The justice issued an unusual public apology in April after she criticized Justice Brett Kavanaugh for his writing in another immigration case.\n\n\nSotomayor’s apology followed remarks she made in Kansas in which she criticized Kavanaugh for his concurring opinion in a high-profile emergency immigration case dealing with ICE patrols.\n\n\n“I regret my hurtful comments,” Sotomayor said at the time. “I have apologized to my colleague.”\n\n\nThursday’s Supreme Court case at issue dealt with a policy called “metering” in which federal agents stationed at the border turn back asylum seekers before they ever step foot on US soil, frustrating their ability to be formally inspected by officials — the first step in a process that could eventually result in them being granted asylum.\n\n\nThe policy was first used during President Barack Obama’s administration but was formalized during Trump’s first term. It is currently not in use. The Supreme Court ruled that, in order to claim asylum, a foreign national must have their feet on US soil.\n\n\nAfter Alito quickly summarized his opinion for the court (Alito is often quite brief in his summaries), Sotomayor read a lengthy oral dissent that among other things called attention to the infamous episode of the US turning away a ship of Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Hundreds of those refugees were later killed in the Holocaust.\n\n\nAfter Sotomayor’s presentation, Alito was set to explain the next opinion. Instead, he continued briefly to discuss the asylum case, noting that it had been used by both a Democratic and Republican administration. He also described the policy at issue in the case as “orderly and humane.”\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional details.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Empezaba a las 8 de la mañana y salía hasta las 6 o 7 de la noche. Llegaba a mi casa y solo quería dormir. Si tenía energía o ánimo de llevar a mis perros al parque, casi era un lujo. Ese ritmo no era lo que yo quería”, dice a CNN Guevara, de 28 años y residente de Ciudad de México.\n\n\nComo él, muchos jóvenes de la generación Z —nacidos entre 1997 y 2010— consideran que el trabajo no es el centro de su vida. Prefieren el equilibrio personal, la tranquilidad y el bienestar antes que un sueldo más alto o un ascenso.\n\n\n“La generación Z busca el salario emocional, que no está relacionado exactamente con la cuestión monetaria, sino con las prestaciones, la cultura y la flexibilidad dentro de la organización. Buscan un equilibrio emocional y mental en sus nuevos puestos de trabajo”, explica a CNN Raúl Santillán, CEO de FiscoClic, una plataforma tecnológica de gestión de nómina, control de asistencia y recursos humanos para empresas.\n\n\nDetalla que se trata de una generación que ha roto con estereotipos como el trabajo para toda la vida, la idea del “empleo soñado” y el éxito entendido como sinónimo de largas jornadas y grandes responsabilidades, una visión más común entre los baby boomers (1946-1964), la generación X (1965-1980) y los millennials (1981-1996), según las delimitaciones del Pew Research Center. Agrega que aunque se trata de un cambio estudiado en México, es algo que ya se presenta en todo el mundo.\n\n\nEste grupo da un peso importante a la cultura organizacional, dice el CEO de FiscoClic. “¿El salario sigue siendo importante? Sí, pero la generación Z busca flexibilidad, propósito, liderazgos cercanos, bienestar y un ambiente de trabajo sano”.\n\n\nKaren Zúñiga, de 25 años, ha pasado por tres empleos en los últimos dos años. Estudió marketing digital y cuenta que ha renunciado porque no se sentía en sintonía con los valores de las empresas en las que trabajaba.\n\n\n“Cuando iba a las entrevistas todo parecía ideal. Me hablaban del ambiente laboral, la visión de la empresa y la flexibilidad, pero ya adentro no era como lo describían. Tenía que trabajar de más, los líderes no procuraban la integración del equipo, incluso había mucha competencia entre compañeros, no se interesaban en nosotros”, cuenta a CNN.\n\n\nPor esas razones, Zúñiga optó por trabajar como freelancer, un camino que, aunque no ha sido fácil en lo económico —dice—, le ha dado la tranquilidad emocional que buscaba. Ya no siente la presión de horarios rígidos y puede organizar mejor su tiempo para actividades personales.\n\n\nSegún un reporte de Randstad, una multinacional de recursos humanos, el promedio de permanencia de la generación Z en sus primeros cinco años laborales es de apenas 1,1 años, la cifra más baja en comparación con otros grupos generacionales. Los datos del Workmonitor 2025 subrayan que este grupo prioriza el equilibrio entre vida laboral y personal (74 %) y la salud mental (70 %) por encima del salario (68 %), mientras que para los baby boomers y la generación X el sueldo era el factor más importante (87 %).\n\n\nDalia Espinoza, de 24 años, dice que ha recibido muchas críticas de su propia familia por rechazar dos empleos que no cumplían sus expectativas y aceptar otro con menor salario.\n\n\n“He escuchado comentarios de que no quiero trabajar o que todo lo quiero fácil y sin esfuerzo, pero no es así. Lo que no quiero es estar en un trabajo en el que no disfrute lo que hago o tenga que pasar horas y horas en el transporte público porque te piden ir a la oficina cinco días”, expresa la egresada de Ciencias de la Comunicación.\n\n\nEn palabras de Santillán, los jóvenes de la generación Z no rechazan el trabajo, sino los modelos corporativos rígidos. Añade que en México el 71 % de los jóvenes de entre 18 y 24 años consideraría buscar otro empleo si se les obliga a regresar a la oficina de tiempo completo.\n\n\nEste cambio de tendencia se explica por el contexto social en el que ha crecido esta generación: un mundo marcado por grandes transformaciones, crisis económicas cíclicas, inflación y avances tecnológicos que influyen en su forma de entender el trabajo, según Francisco Torreblanca, consultor de estrategia e innovación y profesor de ESIC Business & Marketing School.\n\n\nPara estos jóvenes, un puesto directivo o ascenso ya no resultan especialmente atractivos. Su definición de éxito está más vinculada con la estabilidad, el tiempo libre para otras actividades y la seguridad financiera.\n\n\n“Su concepto de éxito, según Santillán, para tiene que ver más con la realización, con estar felices en el trabajo, tener líderes que los inspiren […] y saber que lo que hacen importa y trasciende”,\n\n\nUna encuesta de Glassdoor de 2025 indicó que 68 % de los trabajadores de la generación Z no buscaría un puesto directivo si no fuera por el sueldo o el título. “Priorizan la amplitud sobre la jerarquía, desarrollando diversas habilidades y fuentes de ingresos en lugar de centrarse únicamente en el ascenso corporativo tradicional”, precisa la firma en su blog.\n\n\n“Ahora tengo la idea de buscar un trabajo híbrido como ingeniero, pero que pueda hacer home office la mayor parte de la semana para dedicarme también a otros proyectos personales sin dejar de divertirme y tener tiempo para mis perros”, concluye Guevara.\n\n\nEste cambio de paradigma está estrechamente relacionado con el concepto de “minimalismo tradicional”, una filosofía laboral que se enfoca en lo que genera valor en el trabajo y elimina dinámicas asociadas a ciertos puestos, como reuniones para cualquier tema o el cumplimiento de jornadas extensas que no siempre son productivas.\n\n\nGlassdoor afirma que esto no significa que la generación Z sea menos ambiciosa, sino que “simplemente canaliza su ambición de manera diferente”.\n\n\nEn este contexto, los expertos señalan que las empresas tendrán que adaptarse para responder a una generación que en los próximos años representará el mayor porcentaje de la fuerza laboral y cuyas ideas podrían beneficiar también a las generaciones futuras.\n\n\nEntre los cambios más relevantes destacan una mayor flexibilidad, apertura a esquemas híbridos que combinen teletrabajo y presencialidad, impulso al uso de la tecnología y, sobre todo, coherencia entre los valores que las empresas promueven y los que realmente aplican.\n\n\n“Las empresas que no tengan KPIs (indicadores clave de desempeño), que no sepan trabajar remotamente y que no cuenten con la tecnología para gestionar la asistencia o la productividad de esa forma, no estarán listas para la generación Z”, dice Santillán.\n\n\nMás que falta de compromiso, lo que plantea la generación Z es una redefinición de las reglas del trabajo: una en la que el empleo no sea el centro de la vida y se convierta en una parte compatible con el bienestar, la autonomía y el tiempo personal.\n\n\nPara las empresas, entender ese cambio será clave no solo para atraer talento joven, sino para retenerlo.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

El territorio del sur del Líbano ocupado por Israel incluye el área ubicada al sur del río Litani. En un mensaje en video pregrabado difundido la noche de este viernes, Netanyahu describió el movimiento de las fuerzas israelíes como la salida de posiciones que las IDF “no necesitan” en el Líbano.\n\n\nEl Departamento de Estado de EE.UU. acogió una quinta ronda de conversaciones entre Israel y el Líbano, como parte de los esfuerzos de la administración Trump por lograr un acuerdo más amplio entre ambos países, que nunca han mantenido relaciones diplomáticas.\n\n\n“Hoy es el comienzo del comienzo”, dijo el secretario de Estado Marco Rubio durante la ceremonia de firma. “Queda mucho trabajo por delante. De ninguna manera subestimamos la dificultad de la tarea que tenemos por delante. Pero entendemos su importancia, lo vital que es. Y es un honor para nosotros desempeñar un papel para hacer posible este acuerdo”.\n\n\nLas Fuerzas Armadas Libanesas se desplegarán en estas zonas como parte de un programa piloto incluido en el más reciente acuerdo de alto el fuego entre ambos países. CNN informó previamente que Israel estaba considerando retiradas “simbólicas” del territorio ocupado en el sur del Líbano como parte de las conversaciones, en un “gesto” hacia el Gobierno libanés.\n\n\nEl jueves, las FDI anunciaron que reducirían “temporalmente” sus fuerzas en el Líbano, aunque el comunicado facilitado a CNN no mencionaba una retirada del territorio. Un día antes, el ministro de Defensa israelí había declarado que el ejército no se retiraría del Líbano, ni siquiera si Estados Unidos lo exigiera.\n\n\nNetanyahu calificó el acuerdo como una importante victoria para Israel, ya que le permitirá permanecer en gran parte del territorio que ocupa en el sur del Líbano y mantener su presencia allí mientras Hezbollah no sea desarmado.\n\n\n“Este también es un duro golpe para Irán”, afirmó Netanyahu. “Irán intenta obligarnos a retirarnos del sur del Líbano por la fuerza. En la práctica, Israel, el Líbano y Estados Unidos les están diciendo: esto no es asunto suyo”.\n\n\n“Los pueblos del Líbano e Israel merecen vivir en paz y seguridad, pero durante mucho tiempo han sufrido el conflicto”, agregó Rubio.\n\n\nHassan Fadallah, miembro de Hezbollah en el Parlamento libanés, declaró que el grupo —respaldado por Irán— rechazaba las negociaciones directas con Israel e instó al gobierno a “dar marcha atrás en estas negociaciones y en todas las decisiones adoptadas contra su pueblo”.\n\n\nEn declaraciones al canal de noticias Al-Mayadeen, afín a Hezbollah, Fadallah afirmó: “Quien estrecha la mano del enemigo es un criminal como ellos”.\n\n\nEsta es una noticia en desarrollo y será actualizada.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The Israeli-occupied territory in southern Lebanon includes the area south of the Litani River. In a pre-recorded video statement on Friday evening, Netanyahu described the movement of Israeli forces as leaving sites that the IDF “does not need” in Lebanon.\n\n\nThe US State Department was hosting a fifth round of talks between Israel and Lebanon into an attempt by the Trump administration to reach a broader agreement between the two countries that have never had diplomatic relations.\n\n\nToday is “the beginning of the beginning,” US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said at the signing ceremony. “There’s a lot of work ahead. We don’t, in any way, underestimate the difficulty of the task ahead. But we understand the importance of it, how vital it is. And we are honored to play a part in bringing this together.”\n\n\nThe Lebanese Armed Forces will move into these areas as part of a pilot program that was part of the latest ceasefire agreement between the two countries. CNN previously reported that Israel is considering “symbolic” withdrawals from occupied territory in southern Lebanon as part of the talks as a “gesture” to the Lebanese government.\n\n\nOn Thursday, the IDF said it would “temporarily” reduce its forces in Lebanon, but the statement provided to CNN made no mention of pulling back from territory. One day earlier, the Israeli defense minister said the military would not withdraw from Lebanon even if the US demands it.\n\n\nNetanyahu described the agreement as a major win for Israel, allowing Israel to remain in much of the territory it occupies in southern Lebanon and holding it as long as Hezbollah is not disarmed.\n\n\n“This is also a major blow to Iran,” Netanyahu said. “Iran is trying to force us into a withdrawal from southern Lebanon by force. In effect, Israel, Lebanon, and the United States are telling them: this is none of your business.”\n\n\n“The people of Lebanon and Israel deserve to live in peace and security, but have long suffered from conflict,” Rubio added.\n\n\nIn a statement issued after the signing, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun thanked the Trump administration for hosting the negotiations. He said the agreement would allow the people of Lebanon to “return to their fully liberated land … under sovereignty of a Lebanese state that has no partner in its sovereignty over its land and its people,” an apparent reference to Iran’s influence in the country through Hezbollah.\n\n\nHassan Fadallah, a Hezbollah member of Lebanon’s parliament, said the Iran-backed group rejected direct negotiations with Israel and called on the government to “retract these negotiations and all the decisions they have made against their people.”\n\n\nSpeaking to the pro-Hezbollah Al-Mayadeen news channel, Fadallah said, “Whoever shakes hands with the enemy is a criminal like them.”\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional developments.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

También se produce mientras los votantes de California decidirán en noviembre sobre un impuesto a los multimillonarios, después de que el gobernador y los opositores a la iniciativa no lograron llegar a un acuerdo el jueves por la noche para impedir que aparezca en la boleta electoral.\n\n\nNewsom, cuyo mandato está limitado por ley y dejará el cargo en enero de 2027, presentó su propuesta en una publicación de Substack difundida este viernes por la mañana. En ella plantea un impuesto mínimo para cualquier persona con un patrimonio superior a US$ 100 millones, de manera que pague al menos la misma tasa impositiva, y no una menor, que el trabajador estadounidense promedio que no cuenta con vacíos legales u otros mecanismos para reducir su carga tributaria.\n\n\nLos demócratas ya han presentado anteriormente distintas propuestas de impuestos a la riqueza, entre ellas la impulsada por la senadora por Massachusetts Elizabeth Warren durante su campaña por la candidatura presidencial demócrata de 2020. Newsom sostiene que su propuesta busca crear un mecanismo de protección frente a la forma en que la inteligencia artificial transformará la economía. También propone lo que denomina un “fondo nacional de participación pública”, con el objetivo de que todos los estadounidenses, y no solo las empresas tecnológicas y los inversionistas, participen de la riqueza que probablemente generará esa tecnología. Según un asesor, ese fondo financiaría beneficios para la transición laboral, cuidado infantil universal, educación superior gratuita y capacitación profesional, atención médica y una estrategia industrial nacional para la inteligencia artificial.\n\n\nNewsom también pidió reescribir las normas sobre las herencias. Argumentó que, con lo que considera la mayor transferencia intergeneracional de riqueza en la historia de la humanidad prevista para los próximos 20 años, “si no actuamos, esa transferencia de riqueza entre los ultrarricos consolidará una aristocracia estadounidense permanente basada en la riqueza heredada, con todas las consecuencias políticas sobre las que advirtieron los fundadores”.\n\n\nEl gobernador explicó además por qué votará personalmente en contra de la propuesta de California, que impondría un impuesto único del 5 % a los residentes con un patrimonio neto superior a US$ 1.000 millones.\n\n\nLos promotores de la medida reunieron más de 870.000 firmas y entre sus partidarios figuran progresistas como el senador por Vermont Bernie Sanders y el representante por California Ro Khanna, quien también es considerado un posible aspirante presidencial para 2028. Newsom y otros opositores temen que la iniciativa impulse la salida de empresas de California y que los ingresos recaudados no se distribuyan de manera suficientemente amplia.\n\n\n“Competimos con otros 50 estados”, dijo Newsom este año durante el Foro Económico Mundial. “El capital fluye y se mueve. Eso es real. No es imaginario. Es muy, muy real”.\n\n\nEn su publicación de Substack, Newsom escribió que, aunque entiende “la ansiedad” que impulsa el interés por el impuesto propuesto en California, la iniciativa “ignora las clínicas de la red de protección social y los proveedores de atención de salud reproductiva que Planned Parenthood ha luchado durante décadas por proteger. No destina recursos a la vivienda, ni al cuidado infantil, ni a los trabajadores de seguridad pública que responden a las llamadas al 911, ni a las universidades públicas que han impulsado la economía de California durante una década”.\n\n\nConsiderado desde hace tiempo como un posible candidato presidencial para 2028, Newsom comenzó a mostrar de forma más explícita sus aspiraciones políticas con un video publicado la semana pasada sobre lo que describió como una investigación del Departamento de Justicia contra su esposa, Jennifer Siebel Newsom: “Donald Trump no solo viene por mí por mis tuits mordaces, viene por mí porque estoy considerando postularme a la presidencia”.\n\n\nCNN confirmó a principios de este mes que Jennifer Siebel Newsom está siendo investigada. Sin embargo, una persona familiarizada con el caso negó que la investigación hubiera sido iniciada por la dirección del Departamento de Justicia designada por Trump en Washington.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

La defensa propuso una instrucción tipo “Allen” —esencialmente una instrucción al jurado redactada en términos más contundentes que insta a los miembros a seguir intentando llegar a un acuerdo—, informó Associated Press.\n\n\nRinderknecht sentía “mucha ansiedad”, pero “se mantiene firme”, dijo el jueves a los periodistas el abogado defensor Steve Haney tras finalizar la sesión judicial. Los fiscales no hablaron con la prensa en ese momento.\n\n\nLa Fiscalía presentó más de 30 testigos a lo largo de seis días, describiendo a Rinderknecht como una persona vengativa y colérica que inició el fuego que más tarde se convertiría en el incendio de Palisades, el cual cobró una docena de vidas y arrasó miles de viviendas y negocios en el barrio de Pacific Palisades, en Los Ángeles.\n\n\nLos fiscales argumentaron que Rinderknecht se encontraba solo en un claro de una ladera de Palisades en las primeras horas del día de Año Nuevo de 2025 cuando se desató un incendio, denominado entonces incendio Lachman. Aunque los bomberos sofocaron rápidamente las llamas, un investigador de incendios provocados testificó que el fuego siguió ardiendo bajo tierra hasta que los fuertes vientos hicieron que se reavivara el 7 de enero, convirtiéndose en el incendio de Palisades. La Fiscalía sostuvo que Rinderknecht actuó motivado por el deseo de vengarse de la sociedad en general, además de sentir resentimiento hacia los ricos y frustración por no haber encontrado compañía para la Nochevieja.\n\n\nPasajeros a quienes Rinderknecht transportó mientras trabajaba para Uber declararon que él despotricaba contra el capitalismo y estaba obsesionado con Luigi Mangione, el joven de 28 años acusado de asesinar a un ejecutivo del sector sanitario en Nueva York en diciembre de 2024.\n\n\nLos abogados de Rinderknecht presentaron nueve testigos a lo largo de unos tres días; entre ellos figuraba un consultor y exinvestigador de incendios provocados, quien afirmó que no había pruebas suficientes para demostrar una intención seria de iniciar un fuego y que los fuegos artificiales eran “la causa más evidente” del incendio.\n\n\nOtros testimonios sirvieron para corroborar la versión de la defensa de que, esa noche, las personas que celebraban el Año Nuevo estaban lanzando fuegos artificiales en la zona.\n\n\nLa defensa de Rinderknecht también reconoció que él vio llamas esa noche en el claro —conocido como el “Buda Oculto”— y subrayó que llamó al 911 en varias ocasiones, aunque las llamadas no lograron conectarse de inmediato.\n\n\nHaney argumentó que nadie vio a su cliente prender fuego y presentó a Rinderknecht como un chivo expiatorio.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

He pleaded not guilty.\n\n\n\nThe jury began deliberating Wednesday morning. They reported being deadlocked Thursday afternoon, noting that there were two jurors with unwavering stances. The jury remained deadlocked on Friday, with 10 for not guilty and two for guilty, and Judge Anne Hwang declared a mistrial.\n\n\n\nFirst Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli said his office plans to retry the case.\n\n\n\n\"The evidence is strong that Jonathan Rinderknecht is responsible for igniting the fire on January 1, 2025, which eventually became the Palisades fire,\" Essayli said in a statement on social media. \"We fully intend to retry this case before a new jury and obtain guilty verdicts on all charged counts.\"\n\n\n\nFederal prosecutors alleged that Rinderknecht, who was working as an Uber driver at the time, ignited a brush fire that became known as the Lachman Fire just after midnight on Jan. 1, 2025.\n\n\n\nDespite being suppressed by fire crews, prosecutors allege that the fire continued to smolder until it surfaced again nearly a week later amid high winds and eventually became the Palisades Fire, which leveled neighborhoods in Los Angeles County and left 12 people dead.\n\n\n\nRinderknecht, a former Los Angeles resident, was arrested in Florida nine months after the Palisades Fire.\n\n\n\nProsecutors alleged he was upset about a past relationship, was fixated on wealth disparity and climate change in messages with ChatGPT and wanted \"revenge\" against society for his problems.\n\n\n\nThe government also alleged he was fixated on Luigi Mangione, who has been charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Following the December 2024 shooting, they say he searched for news on Mangione as well as used the search terms \"free Luigi Mangione,\" \"lets take down all the billionaires\" and \"reddit lets kill all the billionaires.\" \n\n\n\nProsecutors said Rinderknecht ended up working on Dec. 31, 2024, because he had no plans to celebrate New Year's Eve. They said he went to Skull Rock Trailhead in Topanga State Park after dropping off a passenger in the Pacific Palisades.\n\n\n\nThey alleged he used a BIC lighter to ignite the Lachman Fire, which they said was not found to be caused by lightning, fireworks or power lines. \n\n\n\nRinderknecht called 911 multiple times to report the fire while close to the ignition site of the Lachman Fire, and took videos of it, according to prosecutors. He also made a screen-recording on his iPhone of himself attempting to call 911, which prosecutors argued during closing statements was suspicious and pointed to his guilt.\n\n\n\nWhen interviewed in the wake of the Palisades Fire, he told investigators that he saw no fireworks in the area when the Lachman Fire started, prosecutors said. When asked why someone would start a fire in the Pacific Palisades, he mentioned wealth disparity could be one of the reasons why, according to prosecutors.\n\n\n\nThe defense said Rinderknecht went to the area to watch fireworks, and argued that the Lachman Fire was started by fireworks. His defense attorney, Steve Haney said Rinderknecht called 911 to try to stop the fire, and that the government found no evidence that he was planning a fire.\n\n\n\nDuring closing statements, Haney argued there was no direct evidence supporting that Rinderknecht started the Lachman Fire and questioned the government's theory that it was a \"holdover\" blaze that developed into the Palisades Fire.\n\n\n\nOver two weeks, jurors heard testimony from arson and fire experts, saw digital and cellular evidence and heard audio of Rinderknecht's interviews with investigators and his 911 call reporting the Lachman Fire. They also heard testimony from those impacted by the Palisades Fire.  \n\n\n\nThe Palisades Fire erupted on Jan. 7, 2025, burning more than 23,000 acres over more than three weeks and destroying nearly 7,000 structures, decimating the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, according to California fire officials.\n\n\n\nIt ignited the same day as the Eaton Fire, which burned more than 14,000 acres in Los Angeles County, destroying more than 9,400 structures and killing 19 people, according to officials.\n\n\n\nThe fires started burning during strong Santa Ana winds, which, combined with dry conditions, allowed them to spread quickly.\nThe post Judge declares mistrial in Palisades Fire suspect’s federal trial appeared first on KVIA.","url":"https://kvia.com/news/top-stories/2026/06/26/judge-declares-mistrial-in-palisades-fire-suspects-federal-trial/","source":"KVIA ABC-7","author":"ABC News","publishDate":"2026-06-26T17:13:46.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.unsplash.com%2Fphoto-1518780664697-55e3ad937233%3Fw%3D800%26h%3D500%26fit%3Dcrop","slug":"judge-declares-mistrial-in-palisades-fire-suspects-federal-trial"},{"id":"s2u5e9","title":"John Bolton pleads guilty to 1 count of mishandling classified information","excerpt":"Bolton had faced 18 counts of unlawful transmission of defense information.\n\n\n\nByAlexander Mallin, Pierre Thomas, Beatrice Peterson, and Katherine Faulders\n\n\n\nPresident Donald Trump's former national security adviser John Bolton pleaded guilty Friday to one count of illegal retention of national ...","content":"Bolton had faced 18 counts of unlawful transmission of defense information.\n\n\n\nByAlexander Mallin, Pierre Thomas, Beatrice Peterson, and Katherine Faulders\n\n\n\nPresident Donald Trump's former national security adviser John Bolton pleaded guilty Friday to one count of illegal retention of national security information. \n\n\n\nBolton entered his plea to the single felony count in federal court in Greenbelt, Maryland, before U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang.\n\n\n\nThe guilty plea makes Bolton thus far the only successfully prosecuted case in Trump's campaign of retribution against those he perceives to be his political enemies.\n\n\n\nBolton had faced 18 counts of unlawful transmission and retention of national defense information for allegedly sharing notes with his wife and daughter -- some of which contained information classified as high as \"Top Secret\" -- during his time serving in the first Trump administration.\n\n\n\nBolton changed his plea to guilty with respect to count 12 of his indictment. \n\n\n\nSitting in court Friday alongside his attorney Abbe Lowell, Bolton answered a series of questions from Judge Chuang acknowledging his rights and his voluntary decision to plead guilty to the charge, which carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years.\n\n\n\nWhen asked if he was pleading guilty because he is, in fact, guilty, Bolton responded to Chuang: \"I am, your honor, I'm sorry for it.\"\n\n\n\nJudge Chuang set Bolton’s sentencing hearing for Oct. 28. \n\n\n\nAccording to terms of the plea agreement outlined by prosecutors in court, the government will not seek a sentence of more than 60 months and Bolton has agreed to forfeit approximately $2.2 million to resolve the case.\n\n\n\nJudge Chuang will ultimately have final discretion over how much time Bolton could serve, if any. \n\n\n\nBolton also agreed to serve 100 hours of community service and is forfeiting any retirement pay tied to his time in federal service. \n\n\n\nThe count he pleaded guilty to involves keeping classified national security information in diaries, according to sources. Bolton was expected to maintain that he did not take documents with classification markings out of government offices. \n\n\n\n\"Mr. Bolton knew how to handle classified information, where it should be stored, how it should be stored, and with whom he could share that information,\" U.S. Attorney Kelly Hayes told reporters outside court following Bolton's guilty plea. \"He also knew the damage to national security that could be caused by mishandling that sensitive information. Nevertheless, as Mr. Bolton just admitted, he put our national security at grave risk in violation of the law.\" \n\n\n\nHayes said the specific count Bolton pleaded guilty to involved Bolton's unlawful retention of intelligence about an adversary's plans for an attack conducted against U.S. forces in another country. \n\n\n\n\"It contained human intelligence using sensitive sources and methods, and it discussed a covert action program,\" Hayes said. \n\n\n\nBolton, who was national security adviser for part of the first Trump administration, was indicted by a grand jury in October 2025 on charges that he allegedly unlawfully transmitted and retained classified documents.\n\n\n\nThe indictment, handed up by a federal grand jury in Maryland, charged Bolton with eight counts of unlawful transmission of national defense information as well as 10 counts of unlawful retention of national defense information. \n\n\n\nProsecutors had accused Bolton of using a non-government personal email account and messaging application to transmit to two unauthorized family members at least eight documents that contained information classified at levels ranging from \"Secret\" to \"Top Secret.\"\nThe post John Bolton pleads guilty to 1 count of mishandling classified information appeared first on KVIA.","url":"https://kvia.com/news/top-stories/2026/06/26/john-bolton-pleads-guilty-to-1-count-of-mishandling-classified-information/","source":"KVIA ABC-7","author":"ABC News","publishDate":"2026-06-26T17:07:23.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.unsplash.com%2Fphoto-1449844908441-8829872d2607%3Fw%3D800%26h%3D500%26fit%3Dcrop","slug":"john-bolton-pleads-guilty-to-1-count-of-mishandling-classified-information"},{"id":"k77eiy","title":"Caraballeda, el popular destino turístico que quedó como una zona “de guerra” tras los terremotos","excerpt":"Por Uriel Blanco, CNN en Español\n\n\nLa Guaira, estado venezolano que hace unos días destacaba como uno de los destinos turísticos de playa más importantes del país, es hoy el centro de una de las mayores tragedias ocurridas en Venezuela, luego de que dos terremotos de magnitudes 7,2 y 7,5 azotaran...","content":"Por Uriel Blanco, CNN en Español\n\n\nLa Guaira, estado venezolano que hace unos días destacaba como uno de los destinos turísticos de playa más importantes del país, es hoy el centro de una de las mayores tragedias ocurridas en Venezuela, luego de que dos terremotos de magnitudes 7,2 y 7,5 azotaran a la nación casi de manera simultánea, con apenas segundos de diferencia uno del otro.\n\n\nDentro del estado, que ya fue declarado como zona de desastre y tiene más de 100 edificios colapsados, están Catia La Mar y Caraballeda. Ambos lugares son “los más afectados” de La Guaira, confirmó Diosado Cabello, ministro del Interior de Venezuela.\n\n\nCaraballeda es una de las 11 parroquias que, junto con el municipio Vargas, conforman el estado La Guaira (conocido como Vargas hasta 2019).\n\n\nEste lugar, así como varios destinos más de La Guaira, es popular entre los visitantes por sus playas y su gastronomía, desde café hasta pescado.\n\n\nLa ciudad está ubicada a las orillas del mar Caribe. Las panorámicas antes de los terremotos muestran una Caraballeda con edificios altos y viviendas populares.\n\n\nLas playas de Caraballeda contribuyen a las cifras en aumento del turismo en La Guaira. En abril, durante la Semana Santa 2026, el estado recibió a más de 1,7 millones de personas, superando en más de 52 % las visitas registradas en el mismo lapso del año pasado, según cifras oficiales.\n\n\n“No hay mayor satisfacción que ver a las familias disfrutar del sol, nuestra gastronomía, el calor de nuestra gente y todo con la mayor seguridad”, dijo José Alejandro Terán, gobernador de La Guaira, tras la Semana Santa.\n\n\nPara Caraballeda, y en general para La Guaira, la pesca es una de las actividades productivas más importantes para los habitantes, por lo que es parte del motor económico del país.\n\n\nEl consumo de pescado, en tanto, creció 3,5 % en los primeros cinco meses del año en Venezuela, informó Delcy Rodríguez, presidenta encargada del país.\n\n\nLo que antes se alzaba como una ciudad costera con edificios y resorts es hoy el escenario de una catástrofe luego de los terremotos de esta semana.\n\n\nLos propios venezolanos que han ido a Caraballeda han descrito que las escenas son como las de “una guerra”.\n\n\nOrianna Velásquez, residente de Caracas, declaró a CNN que viajó a Caraballeda el jueves por la mañana para buscar a su padre.\n\n\n“No me lo esperaba”, dijo, y añadió que “todo parece sacado de una guerra”.\n\n\nEn las imágenes que Velásquez compartió con CNN, se veía cómo el edificio donde se encontraba la casa de su padre se derrumbaba por completo. Además, se observaba a rescatistas voluntarios buscando entre los escombros.\n\n\nEntre los sitios de entretenimiento que más destacan en la ciudad, se encuentra Caraballeda Golf & Yacht Club. Este lugar con amplios campos se ha convertido tanto en organizador de donaciones como en el punto donde familiares esperan noticias de sus seres queridos.\n\n\n“Frente a los recientes eventos sísmicos registrados en la región, nuestra prioridad absoluta es acompañar a cada uno de nuestros miembros, aliados y trabajadores en este momento. Queremos transmitirles un mensaje de tranquilidad, apoyo mutuo y absoluta consideración hacia ustedes y sus seres queridos”, escribió el club en un comunicado.\n\n\n“Asimismo, les informamos que nuestro compromiso es garantizar un espacio 100 % seguro en nuestro club y que, a su vez, podamos prestar el apoyo necesario a toda la comunidad de La Guaira y Caraballeda”, agregó en su comunicado.\n\n\nCaraballeda Golf & Yacht Club está organizando esfuerzos de acopio.

A lovely slate blue suit, with fluid trousers and a boxy, 80s-inspired jacket that would make any Bret Easton Ellis antihero proud, ended with a deviant surprise: a pair of clear vinyl oxfords. The French capital is in the midst of a heat wave — the day of the show was the city’s hottest ever June day, until Wednesday eclipsed it — and the model’s toes steamed inside the oblong footwear. Several more riffs followed, in accordion folder brown and another-day-at-the-office taupe, their corporate colors merging with the tailored looks to conjure a cubicle siren mood. And the notoriously unbreathable material, combined with the stuffy weather, created unsettling clouds of pedal condensation on the shoes’ uppers.\n\n\nThe foot play wasn’t just on the runway. “Heated Rivalry” star Connor Storrie attended the show in a black vinyl trench coat, which he mercifully removed to reveal a tank top and shorts — and a pair of knee-high latex leather boots.\n\n\nSo what’s up with the foot fetish?\n\n\nThe potentially odorous oxfords and bawdy boots come on the heels of another viral foot sensation. Earlier this year, Chanel creative director Matthieu Blazy inspired days of debate when his very whimsical, very extravagant resort show, held in Biarritz, featured a number of sandals that laced around the heel and left the toes exposed. Was this luxury trolling, or the expression of a lifestyle so fabulous that an entirely new breed of footwear is required? Probably a bit of both.\n\n\nFashion has in fact been focused on feet for some years now. Jonathan Anderson, first at Loewe and now at Dior, has a secret weapon in Nina Christen, whose unusual approach to footwear, at once elegant and perverse, has made pumps made out of bunches of deflated balloons, fake bars of soap as heels, and water lily-shaped sandals into viral sensations. Although The Row has cultivated an aura of quietude, its peculiar shoes, like a simple mesh flat and a jelly shoe, constantly sell out among consumers who wouldn’t otherwise dream of buying the label’s $3,000 trousers or five-figure handcrafted coats. Tory Burch, who has turned her Palm Beach-esque prepster label into the wardrobe for thinky young glamour hounds, seems to have a spunky yet pretty shoe in every collection, with the most recent being a spangly, high-vamp pair pump, fit for a Park Avenue hostess save for a splash of shocking neon orange.\n\n\nAnd of course, the history of the unnerving shoe extends way beyond the advent of social media. The Margiela Tabi boot, which adapted a Japanese split-toe style into a paint-encrusted boot, is perhaps contemporary fashion’s first shock trotter.\n\n\nPractically speaking, shoes are an easier, less expensive and fraught acquisition than clothes (few people are embarrassed by their shoe size). Handbags have begun to lose their luster; fashion and culture journalist Amy Odell reported this month that shoppers even believe the ultra-exclusive Birkin has become too ubiquitous.\n\n\nThe Saint Laurent shoe, though, puts a finer pointer toe on the current movement. For years, designers have used celebrity-jammed front rows to convince the world that runway shows are spectacles of entertainment rather than dowdy industry affairs. But now that Hailey Bieber or Kim Kardashian seem to be modeling for practically everyone, the moment of the big star in the right dress isn’t so surprising. Charli XCX lighting Madonna’s cigarette as they waited for Vaccarello’s show to begin may have inspired pearl-clutching headlines, but it’s those see-through shoes that will generate conversations, raise eyebrows and be talked about for months to come. Spring 2027 is nearly a year away, after all.\n\n\nDesigners are now keen to bring the conversational focus back to the actual fashion on runways, and ideally the clothes shown thereon (or the toes beneath the clothes) — which, as many a business analyst will tell you, fashion execs and brand designers alike are very eager to sell.\n\n\nExtreme or controversial designs can generate days of initial conversation, especially when the object in question is made for a part of the body that is as much a site of workaday pain as it is fantastical fixation. Our feet are the most practical part of the body we dress, where all else is mere fancy: the cocktail frock decorates; the hat adorns; the suit virilizes; the bra may shape or restrain, but it also entices. To decorate the feet in designer duds, to emphasize their strangeness, their alien qualities that tie us to our distant ape ancestors, with expensive materials and odd shapes, is to walk fashion forward with Darwinian chic.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

It revolves around Dewey Finn, a wannabe rock star who poses as a substitute teacher.\n\n\n\nFernando Romero plays Finn during the UTEP production. “You can expect a lot of amazing music, a lot of fun energy. You're going to expect a lot of blaring lights and sounds and a lot of very, very talented adults and kids in this amazing production of School of Rock!”\n\n\n\nJaime Barba, the interim director of the UTEP Dinner Theatre told ABC-7 that the cast and crew have been preparing every weeknight for three hours for the last 10 weeks.\n\n\n\n\"The costumes, the sets, the lights, all of that is done here in this theater locally. And I think that's one thing that people like when they come see our shows, because like I said, we try to do next-to- professional here at UTEP,” Barba said.\n\n\n\nThe cast is made up of adults and includes 12 children.\n\n\n\n\"Yes. They can act, sing and dance, but several of them play live music on stage. The guitars, the bass player, the keyboardist and the drummer all play their instruments live on stage,” the interim director said.\n\n\n\nThe show also features songs from the popular movie with a musical score that’s perfect for pop and rock lovers.\n\n\n\n\"You can see and hear all of their hard work, all of their talents. Everything that they put into this show kind of come together to create this kind of artistic monster, if you will. And it's fantastic. The kids are really, really good.”\n\n\n\nRomero said he is eager to bring the iconic Jack Black character to my life!\n\n\n\n\"I'm so honored to be here to give 100% of my energy into this part, because it's so much, so much jumping and running and a lot of facial expressions and, you know, and it's it's an absolute honor to be here and to play this part,” he said.\n\n\n\nFor ticket information, click here.\n\n\n\nIf you have a Good Vibes Only story, please e-mail rosemary.garcia@kvia.com.\nThe post Good Vibes Only: UTEP Dinner Theatre rocks audiences this summer appeared first on KVIA.","url":"https://kvia.com/news/top-stories/2026/06/26/good-vibes-only-utep-dinner-theatre-rocks-audiences-this-summer/","source":"KVIA ABC-7","author":"Rosemary Garcia","publishDate":"2026-06-26T16:11:08.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkvia.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2FUTEP-SCHOOL.00_03_26_00.Still001.jpg","slug":"good-vibes-only-utep-dinner-theatre-rocks-audiences-this-summer"},{"id":"lo2mul","title":"TxDOT Rolls Out Sobriety Awareness Truck","excerpt":"var cachebuster = Math.round(new Date().getTime() / 1000);\n        var player = new Playerjs({id:\"player_71bd80d9-b1a2-4b4f-a90a-a910d47f7f07\", file:\"https://vz-b56b3373-39a.b-cdn.net/71bd80d9-b1a2-4b4f-a90a-a910d47f7f07/playlist.m3u8\", poster:\"https://vz-b56b3373-39a.b-cdn.net/71bd80d9-b1a2-4b4f...","content":"var cachebuster = Math.round(new Date().getTime() / 1000);\n        var player = new Playerjs({id:\"player_71bd80d9-b1a2-4b4f-a90a-a910d47f7f07\", file:\"https://vz-b56b3373-39a.b-cdn.net/71bd80d9-b1a2-4b4f-a90a-a910d47f7f07/playlist.m3u8\", poster:\"https://vz-b56b3373-39a.b-cdn.net/71bd80d9-b1a2-4b4f-a90a-a910d47f7f07/thumbnail_5f56e6a2.jpg\", label:\"https://vz-b56b3373-39a.b-cdn.net/71bd80d9-b1a2-4b4f-a90a-a910d47f7f07/playlist.m3u8\" , \n        vast_replace:{\"[wpcategory]\":\"news\",\"[wprand]\":\"\"+cachebuster+\"\"}});\n        \n        var cachebuster = Math.round(new Date().getTime() / 1000);\n        var player = new Playerjs({id:\"player_71bd80d9-b1a2-4b4f-a90a-a910d47f7f07\", file:\"https://vz-b56b3373-39a.b-cdn.net/71bd80d9-b1a2-4b4f-a90a-a910d47f7f07/playlist.m3u8\", poster:\"https://vz-b56b3373-39a.b-cdn.net/71bd80d9-b1a2-4b4f-a90a-a910d47f7f07/thumbnail_5f56e6a2.jpg\", label:\"https://vz-b56b3373-39a.b-cdn.net/71bd80d9-b1a2-4b4f-a90a-a910d47f7f07/playlist.m3u8\" , \n        vast_replace:{\"[wpcategory]\":\"news\",\"[wprand]\":\"\"+cachebuster+\"\"}}); txdot el paso \nEl Paso, TX (KVIA-TV)- Most drivers do not mean to harm anyone, but last year, impaired driving led to 1,254 deaths on Texas roads. In 2025, El Paso saw 14,724 traffic crashes, which caused 54 deaths and 248 serious injuries, according to the Texas Department of Transportation. That same year, El Paso had 501 DUI-related crashes involving drugs or alcohol, resulting in 17 deaths and 29 serious injuries. During the July Fourth holiday in 2025, there were 6 DUI-related crashes in El Paso, with 1 death and no serious injuries.\n\n\n\nEvery day in Texas, three people lose their lives because someone made a choice that could have been avoided.\n\n\n\nTo help drivers remember the real cost of driving under the influence, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is taking a truck that once delivered beverages on a statewide tour.

Fuertes vientos acompañarán este descenso e intensificarán las ya peligrosas condiciones para incendios forestales en Utah, donde continúa un gran incendio devastador, y en los estados vecinos.\n\n\nCiudades importantes como Chicago, Detroit, San Luis, Dallas y Nashville podrían registrar temperaturas máximas en lo que va del año a principios de la próxima semana. Las condiciones se agravarán por una gran masa de aire húmedo que se extenderá desde el sur hacia el medio oeste. Este patrón meteorológico sofocante se extenderá luego hacia el este, hasta el noreste, a mediados de semana.\n\n\nEl índice de calor, o la sensación térmica teniendo en cuenta la humedad, se disparará a niveles peligrosos en toda esta extensa zona a medida que la cúpula de calor se estanque y atrape el aire caliente durante días. Millones de personas experimentarán una sensación térmica de entre 38 y 43 grados Celsius; en algunos lugares, la temperatura máxima alcanzará los 46 grados Celsius.\n\n\nLas olas de calor en todo el mundo son cada vez más intensas y frecuentes debido al calentamiento global provocado por la contaminación de combustibles fósiles. Las olas de calor sin precedentes que se registraron en Europa la semana pasada y en el oeste de Estados Unidos en marzo son dos ejemplos recientes.\n\n\nEsta próxima ola de calor no alcanzará los extremos sin precedentes en la mayoría de las zonas, pero será abrasadora durante días y no menos peligrosa.\n\n\nEl calor y la humedad se intensificarán en el sur este fin de semana y luego se extenderán hacia el norte, hacia el Medio Oeste y la región de los Grandes Lagos, a principios de la próxima semana. Algunas zonas del noreste experimentarán un aumento progresivo del calor y la humedad para el martes o miércoles, incluyendo la ciudad de Nueva York, Pittsburgh (Pensilvania) y Washington D. C.\n\n\nSe esperan altas temperaturas, entre los 35 y casi 38 grados Celsius, en gran parte del sur del país. En el Medio Oeste y algunas zonas del Atlántico Medio y el Noreste, las máximas se situarán entre los 32 y 35 grados Celsius. Un partido del Mundial en el Estadio de Nueva York-Nueva Jersey el martes a las 17:00 (hora del este) podría comenzar con un calor sofocante, con una temperatura máxima de alrededor de 31 grados Celsius y una sensación térmica de unos 32 grados Celsius.\n\n\nSegún el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional, decenas de millones de personas se encuentran bajo un riesgo de calor de nivel 3 de 4 (“mayor”) o nivel 4 de 4 (“extremo”) desde el sur profundo hasta partes de Minnesota, Wisconsin y Michigan, y hasta Nueva York y el Atlántico Medio, en uno o más días de la próxima semana.\n\n\nSegún el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional, este calor intenso puede afectar a cualquier persona que no se refresque o se hidrate adecuadamente. Se prevé poco alivio durante la noche, ya que la alta humedad impedirá que las temperaturas bajen considerablemente.\n\n\nLas temperaturas mínimas de la próxima semana no bajarán de los 21-24 °C en el Medio Oeste y la región de los Grandes Lagos. En las zonas urbanas, es posible que las temperaturas bajen mucho de los 27 °C.\n\n\nLa exposición prolongada al calor extremo puede causar enfermedades como agotamiento por calor, calambres por calor y, la más grave, insolación, según los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades de EE. UU. Las visitas a urgencias por enfermedades relacionadas con el calor aumentan en los días de riesgo “mayor” y “extremo”, según el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional.\n\n\nEl calor es también el fenómeno meteorológico más letal en EE. UU., con un promedio anual de muertes superior al de tornados, huracanes y rayos combinados, según las estadísticas del servicio meteorológico.\n\n\nAún se desconoce cuánto tiempo durará la ola de calor de la próxima semana, pero podría empezar a desplazarse hacia el oeste, hacia las Grandes Llanuras, durante el fin de semana del 4 de julio. El calor y la humedad persistirán en el Sur, pero podrían disminuir un poco en el Medio Oeste, la región de los Grandes Lagos y el Noreste durante el fin de semana festivo o justo después. Esta primera ola de calor generalizada coincide con el inicio de la época más calurosa del año en el centro y este de Estados Unidos.\n\n\nSegún los Centros Nacionales de Información Ambiental, la mayoría de estas zonas registran su día más cálido en julio, mientras que las Grandes Llanuras del Sur y el Bajo Valle del Misisipi suelen experimentar el pico de calor en agosto.\n\n\nSe ha emitido una alerta de nivel 3 de 3 por condiciones meteorológicas extremadamente críticas para incendios para el viernes en Utah, zona afectada por incendios, así como en zonas cercanas del norte de Arizona y el este de Nevada.\n\n\nLa amenaza es tan grave que motivó la primera alerta roja por “situación particularmente peligrosa” emitida por la oficina del Servicio Meteorológico Nacional en Salt Lake City. Esta alerta abarca el centro y el sur de Utah y el incendio de Cottonwood, el mayor incendio forestal actual del estado. Esta designación, excepcionalmente rara, se reserva para las condiciones meteorológicas más extremas para incendios.\n\n\n“Se trata de una situación particularmente peligrosa que representa una amenaza significativa para la vida y la propiedad en caso de que se inicie un incendio forestal o se produzca uno ya existente”, indica la alerta. En algunos casos, la evacuación segura y oportuna podría no ser posible si se acerca un incendio.\n\n\nRáfagas de viento de hasta 80 km/h podrían avivar tanto los incendios activos como cualquier incendio nuevo que surja.\n\n\nVarios incendios forestales de gran magnitud continúan activos en el centro y sur de Utah. El incendio Cottonwood, al este de Beaver, Utah, ha arrasado una superficie similar a la de Salt Lake City en tan solo unos días y sigue sin estar contenido. Se han ordenado evacuaciones debido a este incendio, que según funcionarios estatales y locales es probablemente el incendio forestal más destructivo y costoso registrado en Utah.\n\n\nLas evaluaciones de daños están planificadas o en curso, por lo que se desconoce el número total de estructuras destruidas por el fuego. El incendio más destructivo en la historia de Utah fue el incendio Dollar Ridge de 2018, que destruyó 74 viviendas, según Karl Hunt, oficial de asuntos públicos de la División de Silvicultura, Incendios y Tierras Estatales de Utah.\n\n\nMás al norte, el incendio Iron, cerca de Eureka, Utah, ha quemado más de 16.000 hectáreas tras obligar a realizar evacuaciones a principios de esta semana. El riesgo de incendios seguirá siendo alto en gran parte de la misma región el sábado, debido a los fuertes vientos y la baja humedad persistentes.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Uno de los drones impactó de lleno en la cubierta superior de un gran y costoso buque de carga”, escribió en Truth Social al mediodía de este viernes, horas después de conocerse la noticia del ataque.\n\n\n“Se produjeron daños, pero el buque pudo continuar su viaje”, añadió. “Derribamos otros tres drones. Obviamente, esta es una violación imprudente de nuestro Acuerdo de Alto el Fuego”.\n\n\nTrump no especificó cómo ni si Estados Unidos respondería al incidente, ocurrido el día anterior, el cual puso de relieve las dificultades persistentes para restablecer el tráfico a los niveles previos a la guerra en esta vía marítima crucial. El Mando Central de EE.UU., responsable de las operaciones militares estadounidenses en la región, remitió a la declaración de Trump al ser consultado sobre el ataque.\n\n\nFue el primer incidente de este tipo desde que EE.UU. e Irán firmaron un memorando de entendimiento para abrir el estrecho e iniciar negociaciones más profundas sobre el programa nuclear iraní. Trump ha dado pocas señales de estar dispuesto a reanudar la guerra, conflicto que la semana pasada reconoció que podría haber desembocado en una “catástrofe económica” de haberse prolongado.\n\n\nIrán considera que el control de esta vía marítima es una baza clave en las negociaciones. El jueves, el Cuerpo de la Guardia Revolucionaria Islámica advirtió que solo se permitiría el paso seguro a los barcos que utilizaran rutas declaradas ante Irán.\n\n\nEl acuerdo entre EE.UU. e Irán estipulaba que el tráfico en el estrecho volvería a los niveles anteriores al inicio de la guerra, pero no establecía condiciones detalladas para el cumplimiento de los términos.\n\n\nAmbas partes han ofrecido interpretaciones divergentes sobre si Irán tendría derecho a cobrar tasas a las embarcaciones en tránsito. Trump ha insistido en que el estrecho permanecería libre de peajes, mientras que Teherán ha sostenido que tendrá derecho a cobrar a los barcos que pasen por él.\n\n\nEl ataque del jueves se produjo horas después de que la poderosa Guardia Revolucionaria de Irán advirtiera que solo se garantizaría el paso seguro a través de rutas iraníes en el estrecho, desafiando así la afirmación de la administración Trump de que la vía marítima volvía a estar libre y abierta. Estados Unidos levantó el bloqueo a los puertos iraníes una vez firmado el acuerdo. El buque de carga fue impactado en su costado de estribor por un proyectil de origen desconocido, lo que causó daños en el puente de mando, según informó la organización Operaciones de Comercio Marítimo del Reino Unido (UKMTO), que supervisa el tráfico marítimo en la región. No se reportaron víctimas ni impacto ambiental.\n\n\nEsta noticia está en desarrollo y será actualizada.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The US military has not confirmed such strikes.\n\n\nVice President JD Vance — who took a lead role in negotiating the agreement with Iran announced last week — said Friday evening that “violence will be met with violence.”\n\n\n“Iran signed a ceasefire agreement. We have honored it. If they have disagreements about how the MOU is being applied, they can pick up the phone,” he posted on X along with CENTCOM’s announcement. “But violence will be met with violence.”\n\n\nThe US strikes came after President Donald Trump on Friday called the Iranian drone strike on the ship a “foolish violation” of the agreement to end the war with Iran, but offered no indication whether the episode would prompt a return to broader hostilities.\n\n\nAsked Friday afternoon whether Iran would face any consequences, Trump would only tell reporters in the Oval Office, “You’ll find out.”\n\n\nThe president first responded to the Iranian strike Friday morning, hours after it happened.\n\n\n“The Islamic Republic of Iran shot at least four One Way Attack Drones at Ships transversing the Strait of Hormuz. One of the Drones solidly hit the upper deck of a large and very expensive Cargo Carrying Ship,” he wrote on Truth Social.\n\n\n“Damage was done, but the Ship was able to proceed on its way,” he wrote. “We knocked down three other Drones. Obviously, this is a foolish violation of our Ceasefire Agreement.”\n\n\nA few hours later, Trump said the incident demonstrated Iran had retained some of its military capabilities, despite the monthslong US war.\n\n\n“We still have a fight. They have some capability, not much. They’re not winning or anything, but they have some capability; they can still shoot,” he told a crowd of conservative Christians in Washington, DC.\n\n\n“Nobody saw it coming,” he said of the Iranian strike, “and it hit a ship and did some damage. Can’t do that stuff.”\n\n\nLater, during the Oval Office event, Trump would not say how or whether the United States might respond to the incident, which occurred a day earlier and underscored the ongoing difficulties in restoring traffic to prewar levels in the critical waterway.\n\n\n“I don’t like the fact that they took a shot yesterday,” Trump said when asked whether he considered the ceasefire still in place. “Not an allied ship, but a ship. A very expensive ship and it was fine, but it took a little beating. They shouldn’t be doing that.”\n\n\nPressed again on whether the US would respond, he said, “You’re going to find out.” The president then abruptly dismissed reporters.\n\n\nUS Central Command, which oversees US military operations in the region, referred to Trump’s statement when initially asked about the attack. An X account for the Department of Defense posted three American flag emojis atop a screenshot of Trump’s Truth Social post.\n\n\nIt was the first such incident since the US and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding to open the strait and launch more in-depth negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program. Trump has offered few signs he is prepared to resume the war, which he acknowledged last week may have led to “economic catastrophe” if it had persisted.\n\n\nIran sees control of the waterway as a key point of leverage in negotiations. On Thursday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that safe passage would only be given to ships via routes declared to Iran.\n\n\nThe US-Iran agreement stipulated that traffic in the strait would return to the same volume as before the war began, but did not provide detailed conditions for fulfilling the terms.\n\n\nThe two sides have offered differing understandings of whether Iran would be able to charge fees for passing vessels. Trump has insisted the strait would remain toll-free, but Tehran has maintained it will have the right to charge passing ships.\n\n\nThursday’s attack came hours after Iran’s powerful revolutionary guards warned that vessels would only be given safe passage via Iranian routes in the strait, challenging the Trump administration’s claim that the waterway is free and open once more. The US dropped its blockade of Iranian ports once the agreement was signed.\n\n\nThe cargo vessel was struck on its starboard side by an unknown projectile, damaging the bridge, according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations, which monitors marine traffic in the region. No casualties or environmental impact were reported.\n\n\nThis headline and story have been updated with additional developments. \n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Asimismo, indicó que se permitirá a la defensa recuperar los gastos legales relacionados con el procedimiento por desacato.\n\n\nLa decisión de mantener la pena de muerte como opción supuso un revés para Robinson, quien enfrenta cargos de asesinato agravado, uso delictivo de arma de fuego, obstrucción a la justicia, manipulación de testigos y comisión de un acto violento en presencia de un menor, en relación con el tiroteo mortal de Kirk —un destacado activista conservador— ocurrido en un campus universitario de Utah el pasado mes de septiembre.\n\n\nRobinson aún no se ha declarado culpable o inocente de los cargos.\n\n\nInicialmente, se esperaba que Graf tomara la decisión el lunes, día en que se pronunció sobre otras mociones relativas a la admisibilidad de testimonios de referencia (hearsay) en la próxima audiencia preliminar de Robinson, así como sobre una solicitud para anular una citación judicial dirigida a un testigo clave residente fuera del estado al que la defensa quería llamar a declarar.\n\n\nAl inicio de la audiencia del lunes, Graf explicó que, dado que ambas partes habían “presentado escritos adicionales” sobre el asunto tras la audiencia probatoria del 12 de junio, “el tribunal requiere más tiempo para completar esta revisión exhaustiva”.\n\n\nLos documentos presentados estaban relacionados con la petición que la defensa formuló durante dicha audiencia, solicitando a Graf que descartara la pena de muerte en el caso si determinaba que los fiscales habían incurrido en desacato al hablar con los medios de comunicación sobre las pruebas balísticas. La fiscalía presentó una objeción por escrito a la solicitud, calificándola de “absolutamente desproporcionada con respecto a la supuesta conducta indebida”.\n\n\n“Aunque el Tribunal considerara que la fiscalía podría haber hecho una declaración más acertada, ciertamente no se trata de un error que justifique la medida drástica —y nunca antes aplicada— de reducir el cargo de homicidio agravado a un delito grave de primer grado”, señala el documento.\n\n\nLa defensa de Robinson respondió al día siguiente, calificando la objeción de la fiscalía de “no solicitada” y afirmando que el tribunal no había pedido ni autorizado “ningún escrito posterior a la audiencia”.\n\n\nEsta noticia está en desarrollo y se actualizará.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

It will also heavily emphasize classic literature and historic American texts such as Abraham Lincoln’s “The Gettysburg Address.”\n\n\nAt the same meeting Friday, the school board also approved a rewrite of the state’s social studies curriculum, focusing more on Texas and US history and deemphasizing some teachings about global history and cultures. The change will eliminate a sixth grade “World Cultures” course and significantly expand lessons on communism.\n\n\nThe proposals have sharply divided teachers, parents and community members — hundreds of whom appeared before the school board this week to voice their concern and enthusiasm.\n\n\nSupporters argue the Bible should be studied as an essential literary text that can help students understand Western history and the founding of the US. Board member Brandon Hall during a news conference Thursday called the proposals a “generational opportunity” to overhaul the state curriculum.\n\n\n“We’re going to stop watering down American history. We’re going to teach the truth. Our nation was founded as a Christian nation, and Texas is a Christian state,” said Hall, a Republican who is a pastor in Springtown. He said the Bible has had a “remarkable impact on our culture, our societies and our laws.”\n\n\nHowever, those who oppose the changes say the mandatory reading list favors Christianity over other religions and violates the separation between church and state.\n\n\nBoard member Evelyn Brooks, who was the only Republican to vote against the new required texts, said during debate Friday she believes the move is “unconstitutional.”\n\n\n“Teachers need to have their autonomy. They’ve been selecting books for decades, for years,” Brooks said.\n\n\nThe changes will begin going into effect in the 2030-2031 school year.\n\n\n“I would suspect that there’s going to be growing pains, just like any change in education,” said board member LJ Francis, who voted in favor of the provision.\n\n\nEven so, he told CNN, “I think we’ll see the reading scores go up, and I think we’ll see children just learning and loving to read again.”\n\n\nFrom Sunday school to public school\n\n\n\nIn recent years, Texas leaders have broadly eliminated studies of racial and cultural diversity while expanding the schools’ abilities to introduce Christianity to students.\n\n\nIn 2023, the state became the first to allow chaplains to counsel students, and the following year approved a measure that offered more funding to schools that teach an optional Bible-infused elementary school curriculum. The state’s education code already requires K-12 schools to teach “religious literature, including the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) and New Testament, and its impact on history and literature.”\n\n\nAs students learn US history, supporters of the new curriculum argue Christian texts should be inseparable from lessons on the nation’s founding.\n\n\n“We don’t have to incorporate every religious belief in our history or in our literary works, because our nation was founded on Judeo-Christian values,” said Susan Perez, founder of a Christian parent advocacy group, Citizens for Education Reform, in a school board meeting Monday.\n\n\nPerez pointed out Christian references in the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution, which was signed in “the Year of Our Lord” 1787.\n\n\nUnder the new reading list, third-grade students will read the story, “ROAR! – Daniel and the Lion’s Den,” alongside titles like “Stuart Little” and “Charlotte’s Web,” according to the proposed lists online.\n\n\nAs students become more advanced in reading level, they will be introduced to passages directly from the Bible. Sixth-grade students will learn “The Shepherd’s Psalm” from the Book of Psalms alongside religious writings from George Washington and poems by Langston Hughes and Robert Frost.\n\n\nSeveral community members expressed concerns during Monday’s board meeting that the plan would infringe on their autonomy as parents to oversee their children’s religious education.\n\n\nKimmie Fink, the mother of an active-duty military family stationed in Texas, told the board, “I would like to believe that my children’s constitutionally guaranteed religious freedom rights will remain intact wherever we are stationed.”\n\n\n“Is this not the case in Texas, a state that champions parents’ rights? In Texas, parents have the fundamental legal right to direct the moral and religious upbringing of their children without state interference. The proposed literary works trample on this right,” Fink added.\n\n\nSome proponents of the curriculum changes dispute arguments that children will be explicitly taught religion, saying the Biblical passages and stories will be taught in the context of world history.\n\n\nBoard member Francis said he does not view the inclusion of Bible passages in lessons as “proselytizing.”\n\n\n“What we intend to do is just to introduce new or amazing kids in Texas to the wealth and breadth of a canon of Western literature,” Francis told CNN on Friday after the vote.\n\n\nEarlier this week, former public school administrator Nancy Barker argued before the board the Bible readings “will provide students with the background knowledge you will need to understand the books, the speeches, poems and important documents that have shaped our civilization.”\n\n\n‘Not all of us believe the same’\n\n\n\nBoard member Tiffany Clark, a Christian and Democrat who represents parts of Dallas-Fort Worth, had vocally opposed the curriculum. Clark said Thursday she and some of her Christian constituents believe “Bible lessons should be taught on Sundays.”\n\n\n“Not all of us believe the same,” Clark told CNN, noting that Christian denominations reference different translations of the Bible and at times differ in their interpretations.\n\n\nThe new curriculum mandates specific Bible translations, including the King James Bible, which is widely used by Protestant and Evangelical churches but is avoided by the Roman Catholic Church.\n\n\nClark also said she fears the emphasis on Christian texts would alienate children who come from other religious backgrounds and prevent their parents from solely shaping their religious education. About a third of adults in Texas identify as non-Christian, according to Pew Research Center surveys from 2023-2024.\n\n\nThough parents will have the option to opt their children out of some of the required teachings, Clark said, missing lessons could impact students’ test scores. Because the texts will be part of the curriculum, they could be included on standardized testing, potentially impacting the school district’s test record if students do not perform well.\n\n\nOne mother who spoke before the school board Monday in support of the proposal said she believes Texas has always stood for “giving our kids the knowledge they need to succeed.”\n\n\n“Keeping biblical references in our social studies standards isn’t about pushing my religion, it’s about giving our students a complete education here and making sure they understand the history,” the mother said.\n\n\nHowever, teachers may be put in a position to teach religious texts they are not familiar or comfortable with, said Rabbi Joshua Fixler with Congregation Emanu El in Houston.\n\n\n“This list is full of Christian texts that are inappropriate for public school classrooms. As a rabbi and a parent of Jewish kids, I think it is vital that this board make a distinction between teaching about religion and teaching religion. This list will force teachers to cross that line,” Fixler said.\n\n\nThe mandated literature curriculum could be a first of its kind, according to Antero Garcia, president of the National Council of Teachers of English and a Stanford University education professor.\n\n\nGarcia told the AP he doesn’t know of any other state with a similar list. Educators at the district and school levels are generally able to choose what texts their students will read, he said.\n\n\nKasey Meehan, director of PEN America’s Freedom to Read program, told the AP she believes such a mandated reading list would be unique to Texas.\n\n\n“I think there’s lots of state lists that exist that are like advised readings, suggested readings,” she told the AP.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The defense will also be allowed to recoup legal fees related to the contempt proceedings, he said.\n\n\nThe decision to keep the death penalty on the table was a blow to Robinson, 23, who faces charges of aggravated murder, felony use of a firearm, obstruction of justice, witness tampering and committing a violent act in the presence of a child in connection with the fatal shooting of Kirk, a high-profile conservative activist, on a Utah college campus last September.\n\n\nRobinson has yet to enter pleas.\n\n\nGraf’s decision was initially expected Monday, when he ruled on separate motions related to the admissibility of hearsay evidence during Robinson’s upcoming preliminary hearing and a motion to quash a subpoena for a key out-of-state witness the defense wanted to call.\n\n\nAt the start of Monday’s hearing, Graf said because both parties had “submitted additional briefing” on the matter following a June 12 evidentiary hearing, “the court requires additional time to complete this thorough review.”\n\n\nThose documents related to the defense’s request that Graf eliminate the death penalty in the case if he found prosecutors in contempt for speaking to the media about ballistics evidence.\n\n\nProsecutors filed a written objection to the request, calling it “grossly disproportionate to the alleged misconduct.”\n\n\n“To the extent the Court finds that the prosecution could have made a better statement, it certainly is not a misstep that warrants the drastic and never-before-imposed remedy of reducing the aggravated murder charge to a first-degree felony,” the document says.\n\n\nRobinson’s defense fired back a day later, calling the state’s objection “uninvited” and saying the court did not request nor authorize “any written post-hearing briefing.”\n\n\nRobinson’s defense attorneys suggested lesser penalties could include ordering Ballard to attend a continuing education program or a referral to the state bar association.\n\n\nComments stem from report about inconclusive ballistics results\n\n\n\nThe judge’s pretrial publicity order – issued in September and amended in December – prohibits the parties from making public comments about the case except under certain circumstances.\n\n\nHowever, Ballard spoke with reporters this spring after news outlets began reporting on an inconclusive ballistics report referenced in a defense filing. The filing states the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives “was unable to identify the bullet recovered at autopsy to the rifle allegedly tied to Mr. Robinson.”\n\n\nProsecutors argued the defense’s characterization in the filing omits an important piece of the ballistics report’s conclusion: The ATF was also unable to exclude the bullet as coming from the rifle.\n\n\nBallard said his comments were not about specific evidence but rather the circumstances that can lead to an inconclusive result.\n\n\n“The goal of these interviews was to respond to the specific media inquiries that were being generated by the misinformation” in the filing, Ballard said.\n\n\nGraf ruled Ballard’s statements about the report were protected under a stipulation allowing comments if a lawyer believes there is a “substantial undue prejudicial effect of recent publicity not initiated by the lawyer or the lawyer’s client.”\n\n\nHowever, in a statement in March to TMZ, Ballard also referenced the strength of the state’s case, saying prosecutors had “ample evidence” against Robinson they believed would help them overcome his presumption of innocence at trial.\n\n\nThe judge held Ballard in civil contempt for these comments, finding they ran afoul of the court’s publicity order.\n\n\n“Further commentary concerning the overall strength of the prosecution’s evidence did not materially assist in correcting specific misimpressions,” Graf said Friday. “Rather, those additional statements induced a separate subject – the prosecutor’s assessment of the ultimate merits.”\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional information.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

To subscribe, click here.\n\n\nSoccer can be harsh, can’t it? One second you’re celebrating two group wins and dreaming of the USA – maybe? possibly? – going far at this year’s World Cup. Then you play a meaningless game against Turkey, lose in the last second and your bubble is well and truly burst.\n\n\nWell, that’s the reality for the US team waking up this morning, following that disappointing 3-2 defeat last night. However, let’s focus on the good news. The Americans are still through to the Round of 32 where they will play Bosnia and Herzegovina – a physical match, but one the USA can win. We’ll have more on all that later.\n\n\nTo start off, though, let’s talk about another flashpoint at this year’s World Cup – one that we’ve seen coming since December…\n\n\nThe Main Thing: World Cup ‘pride match’ in Seattle causes latest flashpoint\n\n\n\nToday’s match between Iran and Egypt in Seattle has been making headlines for months now, and it’s got nothing to do with soccer.\n\n\nThat’s because, late last year, local organizers had decided that the match at Lumen Field was to be included in Pride celebrations, due to it falling at the start of Seattle’s Pride Weekend.\n\n\nThe idea is to host activities that celebrate “creativity, inclusion, and the vibrant spirit of Seattle’s LGBTQ+ community.” So expect rainbow flags around the stadium, art competitions in the city and street parties galore.\n\n\nThis so-called “Pride Match” was planned before the World Cup draw was made back in December. After it took place, though, it quickly became apparent that the match would be played between Egypt and Iran.\n\n\nHomosexuality is still illegal in Iran and punishable by the death penalty. And while homosexuality isn’t outlawed in Egypt, members of the LGBTQ+ community can be prosecuted for violating public decency laws.\n\n\nThe soccer federations of both teams have since complained about the plans, but local organizer Seattle World Cup 26 (SeattleFWC26) has said the celebrations will still go ahead.\n\n\n“Football has a unique power to unite people across borders, cultures, and beliefs,” Hana Tadesse, vice president of communications for SeattleFWC26, told CNN Sports late last year.\n\n\n“The Pacific Northwest is home to one of the nation’s largest Iranian-American communities, a thriving Egyptian diaspora, and rich communities representing all nations we’re hosting in Seattle.\n\n\n“We’re committed to ensuring all residents and visitors experience the warmth, respect, and dignity that defines our region.”\n\n\nBoth teams have objected to the plans, urging FIFA to help scrap the concept. But the governing body can only control what happens inside the stadium and the “Pride Match” concept has been developed purely by external organizations.\n\n\nHowever, FIFA said in a statement to CNN Sports that the World Cup is an “inclusive” event, confirming rainbow flags will be permitted inside the stadium “provided they are used in a manner consistent with the code.”\n\n\n“Fans of all sexual orientations and gender identities are welcome at matches and events,” FIFA said.\n\n\n“General statements of human rights, including rainbow flags and other flags representing sexual orientation and gender identity, are permitted under the FIFA World Cup 2026 Stadium Code of Conduct.”\n\n\nIt’s yet another example of this World Cup meaning more than just 90 minutes of soccer. Although what happens on the pitch is going to be very important for both teams in the context of this competition.\n\n\nNorway vs. France (Group I)\n\n\n\nWhen? 3 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Boston Stadium (Gillette Stadium), Foxborough, Massachusetts, USA\n\n\nThis is a bit of a strange game with both teams already through to the knockout rounds.\n\n\nIf France wins or it ends in a draw, it will progress as the group winner and Norway as the runner-up. If the Røde, Hvite, Blå pull off a surprise, the roles will be reversed. Winning the group means you should have an easier game in the Round of 32 – although it doesn’t always work out that way.\n\n\nAs for Norway, star striker Erling Haaland gave a very honest take on today’s match after winning the previous game against Senegal – a result which confirmed its place in the next phase of the tournament.\n\n\n“I couldn’t care too much,” he said when asked about the clash against Les Bleus. “They’re probably going to win against us, they’re probably going to win the whole tournament.”\n\n\nMind games or just brutal honesty? You can decide for yourself, but I think it’s the latter.\n\n\nSenegal vs. Iraq (Group I)\n\n\n\nWhen? 3 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Toronto Stadium (BMO Field), Toronto, Canada\n\n\nDespite neither team winning any of their games so far this summer, there is still somehow a chance that both can progress.\n\n\nIt’s essentially a shootout for third place, with a big win for either side making it possible they’ll progress as one of the best lucky losers. But both teams will require plenty of goals in order to overturn their negative goal differences, though.\n\n\nSenegal will be the favorite heading into the match after it almost pulled a result off against Norway. The Lions of Teranga possess far greater attacking threats that make a heavy win slightly more feasible.\n\n\nIraq, meanwhile, will be looking for a miracle.\n\n\nQuote of the Day\n\n\n\nThe very honest words from Sweden winger Anthony Elanga who was a bit confused at the end of his team’s 1-1 draw with Japan yesterday. The result was enough to see both teams through, but it was readily apparent that Elanga wasn’t aware.\n\n\nThe 24-year-old, who had scored his nation’s goal, looked devastated at the full-time whistle after he had been urging his team to keep attacking in the final moments. He only realized Sweden had made it through after being told by his baffled teammates.\n\n\n“That explains a few things then,” Sweden manager Graham Potter said after being told of Elanga’s confusion. “Dear me.”\n\n\nWATCH: How do soccer fans in Gaza watch the World Cup?\n\n\n\nSoccer fans in Gaza struggle to watch World Cup matches amid ongoing electricity and internet outages. Those that do manage to watch the tournament say it brings relief from unresolved conflict with Israel.\n\n\nCape Verde vs. Saudi Arabia (Group H)\n\n\n\nWhen? 8 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Houston Stadium (NRG Stadium), Houston, Texas, USA\n\n\nWhat a day this could be for Cape Verde.\n\n\nThere are multiple ways in which the debutants can book their place in the knockout rounds but the best thing the Blue Sharks can do is beat Saudi Arabia convincingly.\n\n\nA win is a great start, but it would still need Uruguay to either lose or draw to Spain. In fairness, Cape Verde could also draw against Saudi Arabia and hope Uruguay is beaten.\n\n\nThere are several other ways in which the tiny nation can progress; a win or a draw might also be enough for it to go through as a lucky loser, regardless of the result in the other group match.\n\n\nSaudi Arabia, meanwhile, just needs to win to stand any chance of progressing out of the group after picking up just one point so far this tournament.\n\n\nThis is one of those times when you just need to watch the game and monitor all the permutations in real time. Regardless, this will be a brilliant match to witness.\n\n\nUruguay vs. Spain (Group H)\n\n\n\nWhen? 8 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Guadalajara Stadium (Estadio Akron), Zapopan, Mexico\n\n\nThis group really is a permutation headache. But I’ll try to keep it simple.\n\n\nFor Spain, which looked very impressive in its second match, a win in its last group game will see it go through as the group winner. A draw will also likely see La Roja top the group, as long as Cape Verde doesn’t win its game by a margin of five goals or more (I’d be very surprised).\n\n\nUruguay knows avoiding defeat will be enough to progress as either the runner-up or one of the lucky third-place finishers.\n\n\nOne storyline to follow in this match as well: The runner-up in Group H will play Argentina in the Round of 32, a not very fun prospect…\n\n\nThings in this group could get very dramatic, very quickly.\n\n\nEcuadorian president declares national holiday after soccer heroics\n\n\n\nIt’s a good day to be from Ecuador.\n\n\nNot only did the nation watch its soccer team reach the knockout rounds after pulling off a stunning 2-1 win against four-time world champion Germany yesterday, but it’s now got the day off to celebrate.\n\n\nEcuador President Daniel Noboa declared Friday a national holiday after the team’s heroics on the pitch in New York.\n\n\n“Thanks to the players and the coach who, despite the criticism, the insults, and the tough times they went through, managed to bounce back and bring this immense joy to the entire country. Tomorrow, holiday! Long live Ecuador,” Noboa said in a post on X.\n\n\nEcuador knew it needed a win against Germany to stand any chance of progressing after a defeat and draw in its first two group games.\n\n\nIt initially went behind in the second minute of the match, but scored a goal in both halves to complete the comeback. The celebrations across the stadium showed how much it meant.\n\n\nGermany had already qualified, but Ecuador will now join it in the next round after finishing as one of the best eight third-place finishers.\n\n\nPlay CNN’s interactive penalty game here\n\n\n\nWith the World Cup in full swing and the knockout rounds upon us later on this weekend, penalty shootouts will soon be possible.

Seattle Stadium (Lumen Field), Seattle, Washington, USA\n\n\nEgypt doesn’t need to worry much about the match. A win would see it top the group, and so might a draw should Belgium fail to beat New Zealand.\n\n\nEven if the Pharaohs lose to Iran, the worst they can finish is third in the group and they have enough points already to surely see them through as one of the best-placed lucky losers.\n\n\nIt’s less obvious for Iran. Ultimately, Team Melli just needs to better Belgium’s result in the other group match in order to go through as runner-up at the very least.\n\n\nNew Zealand vs. Belgium (Group G)\n\n\n\nWhen? 11 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? BC Place Vancouver, Vancouver, Canada\n\n\nIt’s going to be an uphill battle for New Zealand to qualify, but it’s not totally out of the question. A win against Belgium is an absolute must. Anything else will result in elimination.\n\n\nFor Belgium, it’s slightly easier. A win would see it safely through while a draw against the All Whites would not be a total disaster – the Red Devils would just need help from other games still left to play.\n\n\nA defeat for Belgium, though, would see it dumped out of the competition. So there is a lot to play for in this group.\n\n\nThe Final Whistle: Prickly Pochettino looks for the positives in defeat\n\n\n\nWe’ll finish with a word on US manager Mauricio Pochettino who, for the first time this World Cup, must pick his side up from defeat.\n\n\nMy colleague Kyle Feldscher traveled to LA for the co-host’s final group game and was in the press conference room after the match. I’ll let him explain what the atmosphere was like.\n\n\nPochettino said he was happy. He said it in English, he said it in his native Spanish. He swore he was happy.\n\n\nHe didn’t sound happy. And really, there wasn’t much of a reason to be.\n\n\nA little more than an hour before his post-match press conference in the bowels of SoFi Stadium, Pochettino watched his USA team give up a last-second goal to Turkey that ensured a 3-2 defeat in this final match of the group stage.\n\n\nYes, there had been a lot of changes to the squad. Yes, the game didn’t really matter on paper. But this was the first time the US came up against real quality in its opponent. And it lost.\n\n\nPochettino’s surly mood after the game – brushing off questions about momentum, chastising American journalists for not congratulating him for winning Group D – was a marked change from the gregarious figure who sat in the same chair a little more than 24 hours before. The question now is if that mood was indicative of the vibes around this US team changing ahead of the knockout stages now that the bubble of invincibility has been popped.\n\n\n“I think it’s all positive, and I am so positive, and I am happy,” Pochettino said in answer to a question about whether the US may have lost momentum. “Maybe I am not showing (it) because your questions are a little bit weird, but I am so happy, and the players are happy because I think we perform, we compete, and we are first.\n\n\n“We are much better (now) than before that game because we are players now with 90 minutes in the legs and performing, and I think ready to help if we need from the beginning or after from the bench.”\n\n\nIt’s now confirmed that the USA will face Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32. It’s a game it can definitely win and will probably be favorites for, but the European side will be a slightly different prospect for the Americans. The Zmajevi are strong, aggressive and pragmatic – notably very dangerous from set-pieces.\n\n\nWhatever happens, it’s going to be a battle.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

That led to two straight readings of record-low consumer sentiment as Americans devoted more of their budgets to gas.\n\n\nGas prices have dropped in recent weeks as a fragile ceasefire mostly holds, leading to a rebound in consumer sentiment.\n\n\nBut consumers are still significantly more downbeat on the economy compared to before the war started. University of Michigan data shows a 13% decline in sentiment compared to February.\n\n\nEven with gas prices easing, higher costs still contribute to the negative feelings regarding the economy.\n\n\n“For the third straight month, over half of consumers spontaneously mentioned that high prices are weighing down their personal finances,” University of Michigan surveys director Joanne Hsu noted.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The collection is the only large-scale library known to have survived from classical antiquity.\n\n\nBurned so badly they were carbonized, the scrolls are extremely fragile. Over the years, scholars have tried to unroll them using a range of methods, including weights, chemicals, gases and pulverization, though this often led to the scrolls being damaged or destroyed.\n\n\nThe Vesuvius Challenge was launched by Brent Seales, a computer science professor at the University of Kentucky, and entrepreneurs Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross in 2023 to encourage researchers from around the world to try to decipher the scrolls by virtually unwrapping and decoding them.\n\n\nVirtual unwrapping begins with a CT scan of each coiled-up, warped papyrus.\n\n\nAfter following along the curved layers in the scan, researchers then virtually flatten the scrolls and explore them using advanced AI that has been trained to identify ink on the page.\n\n\nThere have been numerous developments in recent years but this latest one — announced at a conference in Naples, Italy on Thursday — is a “historic breakthrough,” according to those involved.\n\n\nFor the first time, scientists have succeeded in fully unwrapping one scroll, revealing an area measuring almost 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) of text across 20 columns. \n\n\n“For nearly two millennia, many of these texts have been physically preserved but intellectually inaccessible,” Seales said in a statement published on Thursday. “Today — after years of interdisciplinary work combining advanced imaging, artificial intelligence (AI), academic research and an innovation contest — we are finally able to read them.”\n\n\nFederica Nicolardi, assistant professor in papyrology at the University of Naples Federico II, has led a team of papyrologists in creating machine learning models and interpreting the text from the scrolls.\n\n\n“This scroll was deemed completely unreadable when part of it was opened in the 1980s,” Nicolardi said in the press release.\n\n\n“While a few isolated letters were visible, overlapping layers obscured the writing, and the scroll was assigned a readability score of zero. But now, with virtual unwrapping, we can follow sustained arguments across multiple columns. That’s a transformational shift.”\n\n\nShe added: “The scroll’s handwriting and internal references suggest the artifact dates from the second century BC or possibly from the late third century BC — making it one of the oldest scrolls in the collection.”\n\n\nAccording to Nicolardi, PHerc. 1667 is the only surviving part of a formerly complete scroll. It is about 8 centimeters (3.2 inches) in height — less than half the size of a typical scroll — and about 2 centimeters (0.8 inches) in diameter. Records show that it was largely intact when discovered, but attempts to unfurl it over the years damaged it and reduced it in size.\n\n\nThe text appears to be a philosophical discussion of ethics, arts and human behavior, probably reflecting Stoic thought, the researchers say.\n\n\nIt includes discussion of the Stoic concept of “horme,” or impulse, with the unknown author appearing to warn that failure to regulate behavior can lead to a harmful passion or a diversion from one’s goals.\n\n\nPractical wisdom, known as “phronesis,” is another key concept considered the highest virtue in Stoic philosophy.\n\n\nThe newly translated text includes the line: “We will inquire into something, but we will not grasp it, if in some way we depart from ourselves and from our own nature.”\n\n\nThe team also announced a discovery inside the scorched layers of another scroll, PHerc. 139.  \n\n\nResearchers were able to read the words: “Philodemus, On Gods, Book 8.” This establishes for the first time that “On Gods” was a series of at least eight books by the Greek philosopher. Previously, only the first book was known about.\n\n\nThese discoveries are the latest in a series of revelations resulting from the Vesuvius Challenge.\n\n\nIn May last year, the title and author of the PHerc. 172 scroll were deciphered as “On Vices” by Philodemus.\n\n\nIn October 2023, the first full word from one of the unopened ancient papyri was decoded with the help of computer technology and advanced AI.\n\n\nThe project is now at a turning point, according to Seales.\n\n\n“This is no longer just about imaging or machine learning,” he said. “Now we need experts who can read, edit and understand what they are saying.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Noventa minutos más tarde, la gobernante encargada Delcy Rodríguez retuiteó el mensaje del mandatario centroamericano, considerado por el chavismo como el némesis de su proyecto político, no solo agradeciendo la oferta, sino ordenando a la cancillería venezolana que coordinara el apoyo.\n\n\n“La solidaridad entre nuestros pueblos es una fuerza invaluable en estos momentos”, escribió la exvicepresidenta de Nicolás Maduro.\n\n\nAl margen de la solidaridad que convoca este tipo de tragedias y la retórica política que la acompaña, Delcy Rodríguez no tiene margen para rechazar a cualquier gobierno que arrime el hombro en estas horas. La situación económica del país sudamericano es muy crítica después de una pésima gestión fiscal y la imposición de sanciones económicas por parte de Washington al Banco Central de Venezuela y a la estatal Petróleos de Venezuela, que aporta el 96% de las divisas que ingresan al fisco. Entre 2013 y 2021, el país sudamericano perdió tres cuartas partes del tamaño de su economía.\n\n\nLas cifras del Banco Central de Venezuela dan una idea de la magnitud de la tarea que tiene por delante Delcy Rodríguez. En 1998, el año previo a la asunción de Hugo Chávez, la deuda externa total del país era US$ 28.311 millones. Veinte años después, el último año en el que se publicaron números oficiales en ese rubro, el país adeudaba US$ 108.369 millones.\n\n\nA la fecha, cálculos del economista Asdrúbal Oliveros, del Instituto de Investigaciones Económicas y Sociales de la Universidad Católica Andrés Bello, sitúan el monto en US$ 161.300 millones, una estimación mucho menor a la presentada por el diario Financial Times -US$ 240.000 millones-, revelada justo el mismo día que ocurrieron los sismos.\n\n\nEl sombrío pronóstico del Servicio Geológico de Estados Unidos, que proyecta pérdidas milmillonarias y miles de muertes, evoca el recuerdo de otra tragedia ocurrida hace más de 27 años, en diciembre de 1999, cuando Hugo Chávez gobernaba Venezuela. El 15 de diciembre de aquel año, justo el día que se votaba la aprobación de la nueva Constitución propuesta por el chavismo, hubo un feroz deslave en varios sectores del litoral central de Venezuela que borró un pueblo entero -Carmen de Uria- y causó centenares de muertes.\n\n\nUn mes después de la llamada Tragedia de Vargas, bautizada así por el nombre del estado donde ocurrieron los peores desastres, el gobierno venezolano rechazó la llegada de dos barcos con asistencia humanitaria enviados por Estados Unidos a pedido del entonces ministro de la Defensa, el general de división Raúl Salazar, una decisión muy controversial habida cuenta del nivel de destrucción y la cantidad de desaparecidos reportados.\n\n\nAños después, entrevisté a Salazar, ya retirado como militar activo, para el diario donde trabajaba y le pregunté por ese episodio. El alto oficial me dijo que Chávez se había negado porque lo consideraba como una violación de la soberanía, pero también sospechaba que esa negativa obedecía al forjamiento de una alianza con Fidel Castro, entonces incipiente. Chávez nunca se refirió a este episodio en concreto en público. En enero de 2007, el entonces presidente declaró el socialismo en Venezuela y comenzó a erigirse como el líder del antiimperialismo en América Latina al amparo no solo de su alianza con Castro sino del respaldo de los gobiernos de la época en Brasil, Argentina, Ecuador y Bolivia usando las inmensas riquezas del país como un arma geopolítica en su diplomacia.\n\n\nLa misma zona del deslave de 1999 es la más afectada por los terremotos del miércoles. Aquella decisión de Chávez ha vuelto a emerger en la arena de las redes sociales como el ejemplo que no debe repetirse. El contexto es otro tras la captura de Nicolás Maduro y su esposa, Cilia Flores, y la relación estrecha -e inimaginable apenas en diciembre- que la administración Trump ha forjado con Delcy Rodríguez.\n\n\nEsta vez ha sido el mismo Donald Trump quien se ha declarado “listo, dispuesto y capacitado para ayudar” sin esperar el pedido de Rodríguez, lo que refuerza la impresión que, desde el 3 de enero, cuando capturaron a Nicolás Maduro y su esposa Cilia Flores, el destino de Venezuela se decide en la Casa Blanca.\n\n\n“He dado instrucciones a todas las agencias de nuestro gobierno para que se preparen para actuar con rapidez”, escribió el presidente en Truth Social. “Estaremos ahí para nuestros nuevos y grandes amigos”.\n\n\nEl secretario de Estado, Marco Rubio, declaró que Estados Unidos desplegaría de inmediato equipos de búsqueda y rescate, recursos médicos y asistencia humanitaria en el país sudamericano. Además de equipo para evaluar daños y localizar víctimas, Washington se ha comprometido a aportar US$ 100 millones a un fondo humanitario establecido por Naciones Unidas para atender la emergencia, más otros US$ 50 millones para organizaciones que operan sobre el terreno, de acuerdo con el Departamento de Estado.\n\n\nVistas las dimensiones de la tragedia, y el tamaño de su deuda externa, Venezuela necesita mucho más de esos ofrecimientos para atender a los damnificados y reconstruir su infraestructura.\n\n\nLas consecuencias de los terremotos se suman a la función continuada de una crisis que ha llevado a millones de venezolanos a vivir en la última década en una economía de guerra sin vivir formalmente en un conflicto armado.\n\n\nLa promesa de una mejora de las condiciones de vida parece alejarse y sepulta al escaso progreso que podía presumir el gobierno de Rodríguez en poco menos de seis meses de gestión: el diseño de un marco jurídico más proclive a la inversión privada, el leve incremento de la producción petrolera del país y la caída de la inflación de mayo al 6,3% desde el 10,6% reportado en abril por el Banco Central de Venezuela.\n\n\nY esta vez, a diferencia de aquel primer año del Gobierno de Chávez, cuando existía para unos y otros una ilusión de futuro, ni la factura petrolera ni toda la ayuda internacional alcanzan para paliar los efectos de los terremoto más potentes en un siglo.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

But tracing exactly where neutrinos come from when detectors such as Antarctica’s IceCube Neutrino Observatory alert their presence has proven more difficult for astronomers.\n\n\n“They rarely interact with matter, which is why they can travel across the universe almost undisturbed,” said Dr. Yuji Urata, researcher at Taiwan-based astronomical research firm MITOS Science Co. Ltd. “Even when IceCube detects a high-energy neutrino, the position on the sky often has an uncertainty region that is much larger than the size of a galaxy.”\n\n\nAnd if the source is an object that remains steady in brightness and doesn’t flare with activity, zeroing in on the neutrino’s origin feels impossible.\n\n\nBut lead author Urata and his team encountered a stroke of luck, according to their study published June 17 in the journal Nature Astronomy.\n\n\nA cosmic coincidence brightened the Shadow Blaster galaxy shortly after the detection of a high-energy neutrino on Earth, suggesting a flare of activity that led the researchers right to the galaxy — and could point to a new way to search for the origins of ghost particles.\n\n\nHow Shadow Blaster galaxy got its nickname\n\n\n\nIn 2021, the IceCube detector, which has sensors embedded deep in the Antarctic ice, picked up the presence of  a high-energy neutrino — the kind scientists detect every two to three years, said Erik Blaufuss, research scientist in the department of physics at the University of Maryland. Blaufuss was not involved in the study.\n\n\nThe event that created the neutrino, named IC 210922A, appeared to occur in the direction of the Eridanus constellation, and the observatory released an alert to the astronomy community. Scientists carried out quick follow-up observations across different wavelengths of light to seek out the particle’s origin point.\n\n\nThey were unsuccessful, however, in detecting any exploding stars, gamma-ray bursts, X-rays or visible light components that might be associated with the neutrino.\n\n\n“Neutrinos alone tell us that something energetic happened somewhere in the sky, but they usually do not tell us exactly what the source is, how far away it is, or what kind of object produced them,” Urata wrote in an email. “To answer those questions, we need light: radio, submillimeter, infrared, optical, X-ray and gamma-ray observations.”\n\n\nDays after the alert’s release, Urata and his colleagues carried out observations with the East Asian Observatory’s James Clerk Maxwell Telescope as well as the Submillimeter Array, both located near the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii. They discovered a galaxy rich with star formation called JCMT0402−0424.\n\n\nThe galaxy had trillions of times the luminosity of our sun in infrared light, and it was in the right location to be potentially connected to the neutrino.\n\n\nThe team nicknamed the galaxy Shadow Blaster, because it is filled with dust, making it nearly invisible in optical light, X-rays or gamma rays, Urata said. Blaster refers to the idea that despite its hidden nature, the galaxy may be a powerful source of high-energy particles and neutrinos, he added.\n\n\nWhen the researchers carried out additional follow-up observations using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in Chile, they realized that Shadow Blaster was located behind a gravitational lens.\n\n\nGravitational lensing occurs when a large galaxy in the foreground of an observation enlarges a distant galaxy behind it, acting like a cosmic magnifying glass.\n\n\n“This lensing effect magnified the galaxy and allowed us to study a hidden, compact star-forming region that would otherwise have been much harder to detect,” Urata said.\n\n\nPossibly a key source of high-energy neutrinos\n\n\n\nDense stellar nurseries in galaxies, such as the one in Shadow Blaster that forms new stars at a powerful rate, can provide the gas, radiation and magnetic environments that act like particle accelerators to produce neutrinos, he added.\n\n\n“Star-forming galaxies are galaxies that produce many stars, some of which are massive and burn out quickly, exploding in supernovae, likely accelerating cosmic rays in the process,” said Justin Vandenbroucke, professor in the physics department and the Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He was not involved in the study.\n\n\nDuring the early days of the universe 10 billion years ago, there was an intense burst of star formation across galaxies such as Shadow Blaster. The galaxies also formed cosmic rays, the most highly energetic particles in the universe, which can create neutrinos.\n\n\nBut making the connection between neutrinos and star-forming galaxies has been a difficult task given that most of the galaxies are distant and faint due to the amount of dust they contain — a key ingredient in the formation of stars. Being able to peer inside Shadow Blaster with a gravitational lens has eased that difficulty, Urata said.\n\n\nStar-forming galaxies such as Shadow Blaster could be a key source of high-energy neutrinos.\n\n\n“Our analysis suggests that this population could contribute up to roughly 20% of the observed diffuse neutrino background measured by IceCube,” Urata said.\n\n\nFinding the right galaxy in the vicinity of where the neutrino came from could be an accidental coincidence, Vandenbroucke noted.\n\n\nThe researchers “estimate the probability of it being an accidental coincidence to be about 1%,” he said. “Detecting more such associations between this type of galaxy and high-energy neutrinos is necessary to establish whether they are indeed neutrino sources.”\n\n\nScientists also want to know what conditions within a star-forming galaxy contribute to the creation of neutrinos.\n\n\nObservatories such as ALMA and the James Webb Space Telescope are changing how astronomers study distant, dusty, massive galaxies, Urata said.\n\n\n“If some of these galaxies are also neutrino sources, then neutrinos may provide a completely new way to study how galaxies formed stars, built magnetic fields, and accelerated cosmic rays when the universe was young,” he added.\n\n\nThe study will motivate the search for deeper associations between neutrinos and potential sources going forward, Blaufuss noted.\n\n\nFinding neutrinos using gravitational lenses could also enable a deeper study of the ghost particles, which still prove mysterious despite their detection for decades.\n\n\n“Neutrinos provide a kind of super X-ray vision, enabling us to study phenomena that are otherwise obscured from our telescopes, analogous to how X-ray machines enable us to see inside people and objects,” Vandenbroucke said.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The committee issued subpoenas for a deposition and another for information about the NDAs.\n\n\n“The NDAs are between him and other women,” Comer told reporters. “We want to know was Jeffrey Epstein involved in the NDAs. Was he involved in writing? Was he involved in awarding funds to the women for the NDA? What was the reason for the NDAs?”\n\n\nFriday’s developments are likely to fuel the argument from some lawmakers and advocates of Epstein survivors that Congress needs to depose key individuals from Epstein’s orbit rather than allowing them to sit for transcribed interviews.\n\n\nBlack did not respond to questions from reporters as he left the committee room on whether he will comply with the subpoenas.\n\n\nAn attorney for Black said the committee’s move to issue subpoenas was “nothing more than a planned political stunt.”\n\n\n“The committee did not ask a single question about the legitimate payments to Epstein for professional services on tax and estate matters,” Susan Estrich said. “I want to be clear, as Mr. Black said in his opening statement: He never abused a woman, he never was with an underage woman, he never engaged in sex trafficking, he never paid Epstein for access to women, he was never blackmailed by Epstein, and Mr. Black had no knowledge of any of Mr. Epstein’s heinous conduct.”\n\n\nEstrich also did not answer questions on whether Black will comply with the subpoenas.\n\n\nRep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the committee, pushed back on Estrich’s claim that issuing subpoenas was a political maneuver and said that both the minority and majority had “hours” of questions for Black.\n\n\nBlack told members of Congress earlier on Friday that he did not know the extent of Epstein’s crimes – and that he himself never abused women or had sexual relations with minors, according to a copy of his opening remarks shared by his legal team.\n\n\n“I have never abused a woman. I have never been with an underage woman. I have never engaged in sex trafficking,” Black told members of the House Oversight Committee, according to his opening remarks. “I have never paid Epstein for access to women. I was never blackmailed by Epstein. I was not involved with, and had no knowledge of, any of Epstein’s heinous conduct.”\n\n\nBlack’s voluntary appearance before the panel marks the 16th closed-door interview that the committee has conducted in its bipartisan investigation into Epstein. He is one of numerous influential and wealthy individuals whose past relationships with Epstein have come under further scrutiny since the Justice Department’s release of millions of Epstein files.\n\n\nDemocratic Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, a member of the panel, said, “We have had many of these depositions and interviews and this is the first time that someone actually walked out in the middle of it.”\n\n\n“We had very important questions about Leon Black’s past with Jeffrey Epstein,” he said.\n\n\nOn Friday, Black said in his opening remarks: “I feel terrible for Epstein’s victims.” He also said that while he was aware of Epstein’s conviction in 2008 for soliciting prostitution from a minor, he believed Epstein’s explanation at the time.\n\n\n“I want to state clearly that I did not know about this nefarious activity until Epstein was charged with trafficking in July 2019,” Black’s opening statement said. “I did know that Epstein pleaded guilty in June 2008 to state charges relating to prostitution involving a minor. Epstein told me that it was an isolated incident resulting from a fake ID. Five years after his conviction, I gave Epstein a second chance, as did many others. I wish I had not.”\n\n\nBlack’s statement to lawmakers on Friday echoes what he has previously said – that “with the benefit of hindsight,” he regretted having “any involvement” with Epstein. In 2021, he stepped away from running private equity firm Apollo Global Management amid scrutiny over their ties.\n\n\nBlack expressed regret for his dealings with the late convicted sex offender in a letter to investors in 2020 in the wake of a report from the New York Times that included allegations that the two men “often socialized and dined together” and their business relationship involved payments for consulting and other services.\n\n\nPrior to his decision to step away from the firm, Apollo announced that an internal investigation into Black’s ties to Epstein found no wrongdoing. That probe, which involved more than 60,000 documents and interviewing over 20 people, found Black’s payments to Epstein totaled $158 million from 2012 to 2017.\n\n\nBlack is among the rare witnesses to come before the panel from the late convicted sex offender’s orbit who has been accused by women of abuse in connection with Epstein.\n\n\nAccording to a CNN review in April of the Department of Justice’s Epstein files, one woman spoke to the FBI and alleged she’d been abused by Black, saying he started “becoming sexual” during a massage Epstein had directed her to give before she ran out of the room.\n\n\nSeparately, a woman told the FBI in 2020 that Black raped her about six years earlier. She did not say Epstein introduced her to Black but discussed going with Black to Epstein’s home in Florida, where she said she was told to have sex with Epstein.\n\n\nAn attorney for Black told CNN in a statement at the time, “Mr. Black has never abused, assaulted, or raped any girl or woman and the idea of doing so is repulsive and reprehensible to him. Such allegations against him are completely false.”\n\n\nOn Friday, Black told lawmakers that the release of the Epstein files “added fuel to the burning conspiracies and falsities.”\n\n\n“I don’t understand why people – including members of this committee – would accept baseless speculation about me without regard to the facts and spin such ugly and vicious narratives that are demonstrably false,” he said.\n\n\nBlack has been accused of rape in three lawsuits — and has denied the allegations in each case. A state judge dismissed one suit and the plaintiff in another agreed to drop her suit. Another remains pending, though the law firm representing the plaintiff withdrew from the case. Black repeated his denial of the allegations in each case on Friday, according to his opening statement.\n\n\n“To be clear, I categorically deny the baseless and fabricated allegations in that case and in the other two lawsuits that were filed against me and that have now been dismissed,” the statement said.\n\n\n“The media raced to cover these sensational allegations, taking them at face value without conducting any investigation or undertaking even minimal diligence,” Black said in his opening remarks. “As a result of this torrent of lies and misrepresentations, I have received death threats, and my family now feels unsafe. For the first time in my life, I’ve had to deploy a bodyguard.”\n\n\nTo date, only Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell have been charged in the US with sex trafficking in his case, and FBI Director Kash Patel has said there’s “no credible information” that Epstein trafficked his victims to others.\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional developments. \n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

La pena máxima para este delito es de cinco años.\n\n\nBolton también ha accedido a pagar una multa de más de dos millones de dólares, según informaron fuentes a CNN. Esta multa podría suponer una pérdida considerable para Bolton, quien obtuvo gran parte de las ganancias de la venta de sus memorias en 2020, un libro profundamente crítico con Trump que provocó que el presidente lo atacara públicamente.\n\n\nLa actuación de la fiscal federal de Maryland, Kelly Hayes, y el caso Bolton en sí, se consideran más serios que las acusaciones e investigaciones de otros que han enfrentado cargos federales a instancias de Trump, según informaron a CNN varias fuentes familiarizadas con el caso y la fiscalía.\n\n\nHayes también había recibido presiones desde la ciudad de Washington para investigar al senador de California, Adam Schiff, quien no ha sido acusado de ningún delito. Los fiscales federales adjuntos de la fiscalía analizaron detenidamente la posibilidad de acusar al senador en relación con sus solicitudes de hipoteca y explicaron sus reservas a la dirección del Departamento de Justicia, según informaron a CNN personas familiarizadas con el caso. Schiff ha negado repetidamente haber cometido irregularidad alguna.\n\n\nHayes logró mantenerse al margen de la presión política, principalmente manteniéndose alejada del foco político de la era Trump, y conservó buenas relaciones con los líderes del Departamento de Justicia, según fuentes cercanas a la fiscalía.\n\n\nSe espera que Bolton, finalmente, admita solo una pequeña parte de lo que las autoridades federales investigaron. El acuerdo de culpabilidad se centra exclusivamente en la información que se le acusa de haber enviado a su esposa e hija. La acusación formal lo imputaba por 18 infracciones: ocho cargos por transmisión de información de defensa nacional y diez por retención ilegal. Su acuerdo de culpabilidad reduce la acusación a un solo cargo por retención ilegal de información de defensa nacional.\n\n\nDe haber llegado a juicio, el caso de Bolton podría haber expuesto información clasificada de gran importancia al público.\n\n\nSegún una persona cercana a él, parte de su decisión de declararse culpable se debió a su deseo de evitar un juicio, en particular uno que pudiera divulgar información sensible.\n\n\nEn declaraciones posteriores a la acusación en octubre, Bolton comparó su procesamiento con los horribles abusos de la policía secreta de Joseph Stalin y afirmó ser “la última víctima de la instrumentalización del Departamento de Justicia”.\n\n\nSin embargo, desde que se presentaron los cargos el otoño pasado, el caso ha sido considerado, incluso por críticos del Departamento de Justicia, como una decisión legítima de la fiscalía. El juez Theodore Chuang, de Greenbelt, Maryland, presidirá la audiencia de declaración de culpabilidad el viernes y probablemente dictará sentencia a Bolton en una fecha posterior.\n\n\nSe espera que Bolton abogue por no ir a prisión, y el Departamento de Justicia podría solicitar su encarcelamiento, lo que provocaría un enfrentamiento crucial durante la sentencia, según fuentes cercanas al caso.\n\n\nUn portavoz del Departamento de Justicia declaró el jueves que el acuerdo de Bolton para declararse culpable de un solo cargo penal “es una práctica común… y está en consonancia con la política actual del Departamento de Justicia en materia de acusaciones y acuerdos”.\n\n\nEl portavoz añadió que la conducta de Bolton que no forma parte del cargo formal podría ser considerada por el juez durante la sentencia.\n\n\nBolton fue acusado de enviarse a sí mismo y a su familia directa resúmenes y notas con información clasificada en un momento en que mantenía sus propios “archivos” y se sentía frustrado por el liderazgo de Trump. El presidente finalmente despidió a Bolton en septiembre de 2019.\n\n\nSegún la acusación, el exasesor de seguridad nacional discutió extensamente las notas con su esposa e hija, como si fueran sus editoras.\n\n\nPosteriormente, la cuenta de correo electrónico de Bolton fue hackeada por iraníes. En 2021, su asistente lo denunció al FBI, alegando que el hacker amenazaba con revelar información gubernamental confidencial, según consta en los documentos judiciales.\n\n\n“¡Buena suerte, señor Bigote!”, decía un mensaje, según una persona que describió los documentos de la investigación.\n\n\nEl FBI y los abogados de seguridad nacional en Maryland y la sede del Departamento de Justicia abrieron formalmente una investigación en 2022, durante la administración Biden.\n\n\nLos investigadores pronto descubrieron las entradas a modo de diario que se enviaba a sí mismo: esencialmente, sus propias notas sobre información secreta que estaba aprendiendo durante su tiempo en la Casa Blanca de Trump, según la acusación.\n\n\nEl caso avanzó considerablemente el verano pasado cuando los investigadores registraron tanto su casa en Maryland como su oficina en la ciudad de Washington.\n\n\nPero no todo lo que encontraron se relacionó con las acusaciones penales. Por ejemplo, los investigadores recuperaron varios documentos de la oficina de Bolton que creían que podrían ser clasificados o confidenciales. Entre ellos se encontraban planes y memorandos relacionados con la misión estadounidense ante las Naciones Unidas y la seguridad diplomática durante la transición presidencial de 2000-2001, así como registros con encabezados que indicaban que trataban sobre armas de destrucción masiva. Bolton trabajó en el Departamento de Estado y fue embajador ante la ONU durante la administración Bush.\n\n\nEstos registros, con años de antigüedad, nunca se incorporaron al caso que enfrentó Bolton.\n\n\nOtra parte de la investigación sobre Bolton giró en torno a cómo publicó sus memorias sobre su tiempo en la Casa Blanca de Trump, tras un exhaustivo proceso de revisión en el que la administración Trump no le había dado la aprobación final para publicar.\n\n\nFinalmente, el libro no contenía información clasificada.\n\n\n“Bolton se comportó de manera honorable y legal en el proceso de revisión previa a la publicación”, declaró esta semana a CNN Michael Bromwich, abogado de Ellen Knight, la revisora ​​de Bolton. “Fue la forma en que manejó la información clasificada fuera de ese proceso… algo que él mismo admitirá. Fue descuidado e ilegal, pero no siniestro”.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

They're seeking mental health advice online pretty regularly, too.  Parents, this is a wake-up call.  Much of this information can be incorrect.  Dr. William Cleaver, a pediatric psychologist, says the new models of AI are powerful, and come with an increased risk.\n\n\n\nNewer AI chatbots are more unpredictable and engaging than those of the past.  A new study published in JAMA Pediatrics shows about one in five in the U.S. ages 12 to 21 reported use of AI chatbots for mental health advice.  Among them, 43 percent did so at least monthly, and about 92 percent believed the advice was helpful to some degree. \n\n\n\n\"It feels like they're being supported. It feels like they're being understood because these models are very good at mimicking human empathy. But in reality, they're just pattern recognition robots, \" Cleavers says. He adds that when artificial intelligence replaces real help and connection, it can be harmful. Parents and caregivers need to talk about mental health in the open, looking at AI interactions alongside their teens to help interpret and verify information\n\n\n\n\"You can let them use the AI with the direct guidance and supervision they need to actually understand what they're dealing with.\"\nThe post Teens, AI & Mental Health Advice:  Parents Beware appeared first on KVIA.","url":"https://kvia.com/be-mindful/2026/06/26/teens-ai-mental-health-advice-parents-beware/","source":"KVIA ABC-7","author":"Hillary Floren","publishDate":"2026-06-26T13:15:34.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkvia.b-cdn.net%2F2024%2F10%2FSequence-09.00_04_42_23.Still001.jpg","slug":"teens-ai-mental-health-advice-parents-beware"},{"id":"il7kwb","title":"14 unique ways to celebrate America’s 250th birthday","excerpt":"By Joe Yogerst, CNN\n\n\n(CNN) — Fireworks, hotdogs and summer blockbuster movies are Independence Day staples.

But this year brings a flurry of unique and alternative events where Americans can come together, put aside our differences, and celebrate 250 years of nationhood.\n\n\nFrom coast to coast, the long July 4th weekend will still offer spectacular fireworks shows, against stunning backdrops including Niagara Falls and Mount Rushmore, and parties like Nashville’s Let Freedom Sing event.\n\n\nYet the nation’s birthday can also be marked in more unusual and one-off ways that highlight American history, ingenuity and diversity. Here are some of the cool things happening this year:\n\n\nSail250\n\n\n\nA flotilla of tall ships and military vessels is making its way up the Atlantic coast as part of the summer-long Sail250 event with stops before July 16 at three more cities that helped forge the American nation — Baltimore, New York and Boston.\n\n\nThe sail-rigged tall ships range from massive vessels like Spain’s Juan Sebastian de Elcano and Germany’s Gorch Fock to the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Eagle and Italy’s elegant Amerigo Vespucci (once called “the most beautiful ship in the world”).\n\n\nIn Maryland, Sail250 coincides with the Air Show Baltimore, on June 27 and 28 (with practice on June 26), and flyovers by military acrobatic teams from three nations — the RAF Red Arrows from Britain, the Patrouille de France and the U.S. Navy Blue Angels.\n\n\nThe flotilla will be in New York City July 4-8 with parade sails, tours of the ships and more. Sail250 concludes its tour in Boston in mid-July.\n\n\nFresh Views of the American Revolution\n\n\n\nLiberty, freedom, equality and revolution are the focus of an innovative exhibit at the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown, Virginia, on the site where the struggle for independence effectively ended with British surrender of October 19, 1781.\n\n\nFresh Views of the American Revolution revolves around a dozen paintings by renowned Italian American folk artist Oscar de Mejo, works originally commissioned for the 1976 bicentennial. Blending historical facts and patriotic myths, the works offer a vibrant, playful and sometimes absurd look at events like the signing of the Declaration of Independence and Washington crossing the Delaware. The exhibit runs through August 31.\n\n\nNational Geographic Museum of Exploration\n\n\n\nNational Geographic storytelling and photography meets 21st-century technology at the $300 million National Geographic Museum of Exploration, which opens June 26 in Washington, DC.\n\n\nThe sprawling, interactive collection features several highlights including wildlife photographer Joel Sartore’s “Photo Ark: Animals of the Earth,” a Rolex Explorers Landing exhibit that traces the history of National Geographic exploration from 1888 through today, and a food hall with dishes from around the globe. There’s also a “Red, White & Blue” exhibit exploring the United States through the colors of the US flag.\n\n\nTheodore Roosevelt Presidential Library\n\n\n\nThe Obama Presidential Center in Chicago isn’t the only POTUS attraction debuting this summer. Rising above the fabled Badlands, the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora, North Dakota, focuses on Roosevelt’s cattle ranching and cowboy days in 1880s North Dakota. \n\n\nRoosevelt credits that experience with transforming him from a frail, nearsighted youth into a rugged individual who years later would become the 26th president and a pioneering conservationist.\n\n\nThe library lies on the doorstep of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, which preserves the remains of his Elkhorn Ranch and the humble Maltese Cross Cabin where “TR” lived when he first arrived in the Badlands.\n\n\nThe town of Medora is hosting a four-day festival around July 4 to mark the library’s opening and America’s big birthday.\n\n\n‘What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?’\n\n\n\nThe Cedar Hill home in Washington DC where Frederick Douglass spent the last 17 years of his life provides an apt setting for the annual reading on July 4 of his most famous speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?”\n\n\nAlthough born into slavery, Douglass rose to become a leader of the Abolitionist movement before the Civil War and a leading advocate of African American rights after the conflict.\n\n\nDelivered in Rochester, New York, in 1852, this thought-provoking speech examined the contradiction between “life, liberty and happiness” as outlined in the Declaration of Independence and the continued enslavement of so many Americans.\n\n\nGettysburg reenactment\n\n\n\nIt wasn’t the final act of the Civil War — that would come almost two years later at Appomattox Court House in Virginia — but the Battle of Gettysburg was the 1863 battle that thwarted the most serious Confederate invasion of the North and that shifted momentum to the Union.\n\n\nA massive recreation of the battle (July 3-5) with hundreds of uniform-clad reenactors takes place every year at historic Daniel Lady Farm, which served as a Confederate field hospital and General Edward Johnson’s headquarters during combat.\n\n\nThe reenactment complements various 250th anniversary events in Gettysburg like a “Revolutionary Reads” book club series that explores the people, conflicts and ideas that shaped the American Revolution (July 9 and August 13); “Voices of 1776: The Diverse Faces Behind America’s Founding” (July 16); and “1776, The Musical” (various dates in July and August).\n\n\nBig Boy No. 4014\n\n\n\nThe world’s largest operating steam locomotive is making an epic 250th anniversary journey from Scranton, Pennsylvania, to Cheyenne, Wyoming, with multiple stops along the way.\n\n\nThe Union Pacific Railroad built the massive 1.2-million-pound engine, Big Boy No. 4014, in 1941 to haul heavy machinery used during World War II and renovated it in 2019 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Transcontinental Railroad.\n\n\nThe month-long journey, which begins on June 30, includes public display events in eight cities — including Philadelphia, Buffalo, Chicago and Omaha — and whistle stops in dozens more cities and towns in eight states.\n\n\nEaston Heritage Day\n\n\n\nThe eastern Pennsylvania town of Easton was one of only three places (along with Philadelphia and Trenton) where the Declaration of Independence was read out loud to colonists, following its adoption on July 4, 1776.\n\n\nA reading of the document by the current town crier is the centerpiece of the city’s annual Heritage Day, on July 11, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year as one of Pennsylvania’s most patriotic festivals.\n\n\nOther events include a parade with fife and drum music, a block party with live tunes and food vendors, plus reenactors playing Ben Franklin, President Ulysses S. Grant, Civil War soldiers and British Redcoats.\n\n\nThe Presidio: Celebrate a Different 250\n\n\n\nFounded by Spanish conquistadores in 1776, San Francisco’s Presidio is also celebrating its 250th anniversary this year.\n\n\nNow managed by the National Park Service, the vast wooded parkland at the south end of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco is marking the occasion on June 27 with a living history program on the Anza Expedition of 1775-76 from Mexico to Alta California that also recognizes events happening in the 13 colonies at the time.\n\n\nReflecting the nation’s diversity, the Presidio is also housing the touring exhibit “I Am An American: The Nisei Soldier Experience” about the Japanese American soldiers who served with US forces in World War II (through August 31).\n\n\nTurning Point Parade\n\n\n\nThe Turning Point Parade in Schuylerville, New York, on August 2, commemorates the American victory over the Redcoats at the 1777 Battles of Saratoga.\n\n\nThe triumph — which frustrated a British attempt to split the American colonies in half by marching down the Hudson Valley to New York City — radically shifted momentum in the Revolutionary War and encouraged France to enter the conflict as an American ally.\n\n\nFollowing the route that British General John Burgoyne used to surrender to the Patriots, the parade features more than 100 units, including marching bands, military veterans, and historic reenactors.\n\n\nFreedom 250 Grand Prix\n\n\n\nThe nation’s capital will host its first ever Indy Car race on August 22-23 with top drivers from around the world on a brand new street course.\n\n\nThe Freedom 250 Grand Prix features a 1.66-mile circuit that includes a straightaway and pit lane on Pennsylvania Avenue, a wrap around three sides of the National Archives, two straightaways that shoot across the National Mall, and a back straight along Independence Avenue behind the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum.\n\n\nLittle Learners Pikes Peak Wonders Series\n\n\n\nGames, crafts, songs and history challenges for kids ages 3 to 5 and their favorite adults are on offer to celebrate both the nation’s 250th birthday and Colorado’s 150th anniversary since joining the Union.\n\n\nOffered on the third Thursday of each month, Little Learners Pikes Peak Wonders Series takes place at the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum and features a slightly different theme each time.\n\n\nMeanwhile, the museum will celebrate Colorado’s 150th on August 1 with a birthday party that includes live music, food trucks and a special Centennial State birthday cake.\n\n\nRecreating Washington’s crossing of the Delaware\n\n\n\nGeneral George Washington and his troops cross the Delaware again. Twice this time! As costume-clad reenactors in this celebration spanning Pennsylvania and New Jersey will make their way across the river in replica wooden Durham boats from Pennsylvania’s Washington Crossing Historic Park.\n\n\nThe first reenactment on December 13 is complemented by a Historic Village with living history programs that demonstrate late 18th century military and civilian life, as well as family activities and food vendors.\n\n\nThe second reenactment takes place on the actual anniversary of Washington’s crossing — a freezing, snowy, gloomy Christmas Day in 1776.\n\n\nAmtrak Stars & Stripes Collection\n\n\n\nAmtrak is celebrating the anniversary of a nation that largely sparked the age of trains with a collection of 23 rail vacations linking iconic routes, cities, sights and national parks.\n\n\nThe journeys that are part of the Amtrak Stars & Stripes Collection include the 14-day “Route 66 by Rail” (which also marks the route’s centennial) between Chicago, Illinois, and Los Angeles, California; a 12-day “Lewis & Clark Trail by Rail” between St. Louis, Missouri, and Portland, Oregon; a 13-day “Founding Fathers by Rail Trail” between Boston, Massachusetts, and Charleston, South Carolina; and an 11-day “Yellowstone to Yosemite by Rail” ramble.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Gavin Newsom on Friday proposed a national tax on billionaires that he says is the first part of an “economic reset for America” agenda, which aides explicitly say is part of his considering to launch a presidential campaign.\n\n\n“The system America’s founders built was designed to prevent the concentration of power in a few hands, but we have allowed that concentration to happen anyway, slowly, in plain sight, over decades,” Newsom writes. “We can reverse it together, as a country.”\n\n\nIt is extremely early in the presidential campaign cycle for a policy proposal — but comes as Democrats continue to embrace economic populism and moves against the wealthy. It also comes as California voters in November will decide on a billionaires’ tax after the governor and opponents of the tax late Thursday failed to reach a deal to keep it off the ballot.\n\n\nNewsom, who is term-limited in California and will leave office in January 2027, lays out his proposal in a Substack post that went live on Friday morning, calling for a minimum tax on anyone worth more than $100 million so that they pay at least the same rate, rather than less, than the average American worker who doesn’t have loopholes and other maneuvers to benefit from.\n\n\nVarious wealth tax ideas have been proposed by Democrats before, including by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren as part of her 2020 Democratic presidential campaign. Newsom says his idea comes out of wanting to create a bulwark against how artificial intelligence will reshape the economy, also proposing what he calls a “national public equity fund” to give every American, rather than just tech companies and investors, a share in the wealth likely to be produced. That fund, an aide said, would cover worker transition benefits, universal childcare, free higher education and career training, healthcare and a national industrial strategy for AI.\n\n\nNewsom also called for rewriting the rules around inheritance, arguing that with what he says will be the largest intergenerational wealth transfer in human history coming over the next 20 years, “if we do not act, that transfer of wealth among the ultra-wealthy will lock in a permanent American aristocracy of inherited wealth, with all the political consequences the founders warned us about.”\n\n\nNewsom explains why that he will personally vote no on the California proposal, which would levy a one-time 5% tax on residents with a net worth over $1 billion.\n\n\nBackers of the measure gathered more than 870,000 signatures and include progressives like Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and California Rep. Ro Khanna – himself a 2028 contender. Newsom and others fear it would drive businesses out of California, and that the revenue collected would not be spread around widely enough.\n\n\n“We’re competing with 50 states,” Newsom told the World Economic Forum earlier this year. “Capital flows and move(s). That’s real. It’s not imagined. It’s very, very real.”\n\n\nIn his Substack post, Newsom writes that while he understands “the anxiety” driving interest in the California proposed tax, it “turns a blind eye to safety-net clinics and reproductive healthcare providers that Planned Parenthood has fought for decades to protect. There is nothing for housing, nothing for childcare, nothing for public safety workers who must answer 911 calls, and nothing for our public universities that have powered California’s economy for a decade.”\n\n\nLong a presumed candidate for president in 2028, Newsom has begun to show his political hand more explicitly with a video last week about what he said was a Justice Department investigation into his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom: “Donald Trump isn’t just coming after me because of my mean tweets, he’s coming after me because I am considering running for president.”\n\n\nCNN confirmed earlier this month that Jennifer Siebel Newsom is under investigation. However, a person familiar with the probe denied that it was launched by the department’s Trump-appointed leadership in DC.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The person who answered the phone at the relevant district branch of the Beijing Public Security Bureau told CNN they were “not familiar with the situation.” They then referred CNN to another number but the call went unanswered.\n\n\nCNN has also reached out to the Beijing Muncipality Government as well as a number listed for the aircraft’s owner for information on the incident.\n\n\nOnline images showing the plane’s registration code seemed to point to a domestically manufactured light sport aircraft, a Sunward SA 60L Aurora, owned by a local general aviation company which offers services like pilot training, personal recreational flights and aerial photography.\n\n\nUnverified flight data from Flightradar24 posted online appeared to show a severely deviated flight path for the aircraft after it took off from Beijing’s Shifosi airport.\n\n\nSince May 1, the Chinese capital has been effectively drone-free under sweeping new rules.

Powerful winds will accompany the cooldown and intensify already dangerous fire weather conditions in Utah, where a large, destructive fire is ongoing, and in neighboring states.\n\n\nMajor cities including Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Dallas and Nashville could see thermometers climb to their highest level yet this year by early next week. Conditions will be made more oppressive by a big surge of humid air spreading out of the South into the Midwest. The sultry weather pattern will then expand eastward to the Northeast by midweek.\n\n\n Get your extreme heat forecast on CNN Weather for iPhone\n\n\nThe heat index, or what it feels like with humidity factored in, will soar to hazardous levels across this wide area as the heat dome stagnates and traps hot air for days. Millions will see their so-called “feels-like” temperature hit 100 to 110 degrees; some places will peak as high as 115 degrees.\n\n\nHeat waves worldwide are becoming more harsh and frequent because of human-caused warming from fossil fuel pollution. The record-shattering heat waves in Europe this past week and in the western US in March are two recent examples.\n\n\nThis upcoming heat wave won’t rival those when it comes record-breaking extremes in most areas, but it will be scorching for days and no less dangerous.\n\n\nMajor to extreme heat risk ahead\n\n\n\nHeat and humidity will intensify in the South this weekend and then expand northward toward the Midwest and Great Lakes by early next week. Parts of the Northeast will feel increasingly hot and humid by Tuesday or Wednesday, including New York City, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC.\n\n\nHigh temperatures in the upper 90s to near 100 degrees will grip a large area of the South, and highs in the low to mid-90s will be commonplace in the Midwest and parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. A World Cup match at New York New Jersey Stadium on Tuesday at 5 p.m. ET could start out a bit sweltering with a temperature in the upper 80s and a heat index in the lower 90s.\n\n\nTens of millions of people are in a Level 3 of 4 “major” or Level 4 of 4 “extreme” heat risk from the Deep South to as far north as parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan and as far east as New York and the Mid-Atlantic on one or more days next week, according to the National Weather Service.\n\n\nHeat this severe can affect anyone without proper cooling or hydration, according to the weather service. Little relief is expected at night, since high humidity will prevent temperatures from cooling much.\n\n\nLow temperatures next week won’t fall below the lower-to-middle 70s in the Midwest and Great Lakes. Urban areas could struggle to fall much below 80 degrees.\n\n\nProlonged exposure to extreme heat can cause illnesses like heat exhaustion, heat cramps, and the most serious type, heat stroke, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Emergency room visits for heat-related illness surge on “major” and “extreme” risk days, according to the National Weather Service.\n\n\nHeat is also the deadliest type of weather in the US, with a higher annual average death toll than tornadoes, hurricanes and lightning combined, according to weather service statistics.\n\n\nExactly how long next week’s heat dome will stick around is still uncertain, but it could begin to shift west toward the Plains over the Fourth of July weekend. Hot and sticky weather will persist in the South, but could ease up a little for the Midwest, Great Lakes and Northeast during the holiday weekend or just after its over.\n\n\nThis first widespread heat wave is happening right as the central and eastern US begin to enter their usual hottest time of year.\n\n\nMost of these areas see their average warmest day in July, while the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley usually experience peak heat in August, according to the National Centers for Environmental Information.\n\n\n‘Particularly dangerous’ fire weather in Utah\n\n\n\nA Level 3 of 3 risk of extremely critical fire weather conditions has been issued for Friday in fire-plagued Utah as well as nearby parts of northern Arizona and eastern Nevada.\n\n\nThe threat is so severe it prompted the first-ever “particularly dangerous situation” red flag warning from the National Weather Service office in Salt Lake City. It includes central and southern Utah and the Cottonwood Fire, the state’s current largest inferno. This exceptionally rare designation is reserved for the most extreme fire weather conditions.\n\n\n“This is a Particularly Dangerous Situation that poses a significant threat to life and property in the event of a wildfire start or with an existing fire,” the warning said. “In some cases, safe and timely evacuation may not be possible should a fire approach.”\n\n\nWind gusts up to 50 mph could fan both ongoing fires and any new fires that sprout up.\n\n\nSeveral large wildfires continue to burn across central and southern Utah. The Cottonwood Fire, east of Beaver, Utah, has burned through an area roughly the size of Salt Lake City in just a few days and remains 0% contained. Evacuations are in place for the fire, which state and local officials believe is likely Utah’s most destructive and costly wildfire on record.\n\n\nDamage assessments are planned or ongoing, so the total number of structures destroyed by the fire is unknown. The most destructive fire in Utah history was 2018’s Dollar Ridge Fire which destroyed 74 homes, according to Karl Hunt, public affairs officer with the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire, and State Lands.\n\n\nFarther north, the Iron Fire near Eureka, Utah, has burned more than 40,000 acres after forcing evacuations earlier this week.\n\n\nFire danger will remain high in much of the same region on Saturday as gusty winds and low humidity persist.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Su baja puntuación indica un alto nivel de corrupción percibida en el sector público.\n\n\nSegún los expertos, las normas de construcción actuales del país cumplen con los estándares internacionales y están actualizadas. Sin embargo, los edificios construidos en las décadas de 1950, 1960 y 1970 —antes de que dichas normas se actualizaran por completo— presentan vulnerabilidades inherentes debido a su antigüedad. (El hijo del expresidente venezolano Nicolás Maduro declaró el jueves que la mayoría de los edificios que colapsaron en Caracas eran construcciones antiguas de los años 50 y 60).\n\n\nBlackett señaló además que muchos edificios y viviendas en Venezuela se construyeron durante los auges petroleros de aquella época y que, en muchos casos, es probable que se haya escatimado en calidad o seguridad.\n\n\nGrupos de la sociedad civil venezolana han advertido que algunas de las zonas más afectadas son grandes complejos de vivienda pública, como Catia La Mar, donde el gobierno de Hugo Chávez construyó cientos de apartamentos durante un periodo de rápido crecimiento demográfico; es posible que, en aquel entonces, no se aplicaran estrictamente las normas de construcción.\n\n\nOtro factor clave es que, muy probablemente, muchos edificios no fueron adaptados para cumplir con las normativas antisísmicas modernas.\n\n\n“Si observamos lugares como San Francisco, tras los terremotos de finales de los años 80, hubo incentivos y financiación gubernamental para adaptar los edificios y garantizar su seguridad. Se inspeccionaban las edificaciones y se declaraban inhabitables si no cumplían con dichas normas”, explicó Blackett a CNN. “Eso no ha sucedido allí [en Venezuela]”.\n\n\nRaffaele De Risi, profesor asociado de Ingeniería Civil en la Universidad de Bristol, afirmó que “la cuestión decisiva, que solo podrá resolverse mediante una evaluación posterior al suceso, es qué proporción del parque de viviendas actual es anterior a estas normativas o fue construida de manera informal, al margen de ellas”.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The company owns several other brands including Audi and Porsche.\n\n\nA Volkswagen spokesperson declined to comment to CNN on “internal, confidential documents.”\n\n\n“The underlying matters will be discussed and approved in the respective committees,” the spokesperson added. “We will not pre-empt this process.”\n\n\nVW employs almost 660,000 people worldwide and had already announced plans to slash 50,000 jobs in Germany by 2030.\n\n\nLike many European carmakers, it has been squeezed by fresh tariffs on its exports to the United States as well as struggling to counter the rise of Chinese electric vehicles manufacturers, including BYD.\n\n\nThe Volkswagen spokesperson said the company required “sharper focus as well as stricter discipline over costs and investment” to meet its new reality, adding that its traditional business model – making cars in Europe and exporting them globally – “no longer works” for all of its brands.\n\n\nAny job cuts will likely meet resistance from German unions. “If such plans are pushed forward, we would prevent them with all our might,” labor union IG Metall and Volkswagen’s General Works Council said in a joint statement on Friday.\n\n\nShares of Volkswagen were down 1.5% early afternoon local time.

But lately, they’ve grown seriously ticked off about the high price they’ve paid to get into the AI game without the profit boost they were expecting.\n\n\nThe Nasdaq, a barometer for the tech industry, was set to sink another 1.2% Friday, an overhang from yet another massive sell-off in South Korea, whose Kospi index fell 5.8%. The Nasdaq has ended every day this week in the red and has fallen more than 6% from its all-time high set on June 2.\n\n\nInvestors are right to be cautious: AI stock valuations have been flying high for several years, built mainly on the technology’s promise – not the bottom-line profit growth that fuels most companies’ stock price increases.\n\n\nIt’s not that AI demand is in a slump – quite the opposite. But the industry’s explosive growth has forced companies to spend and borrow tens of billions of dollars to build and develop the technology – without the immediate results to show for it.\n\n\nIt’s not exactly Big Tech’s fault. AI has become an incredibly expensive endeavor. Surging demand for the technology has fueled a data center boom, requiring massive numbers of high-powered chips that semiconductor companies can’t produce quickly enough.\n\n\nThat has sent chip prices through the roof, creating a kind of K-shaped AI industry, setting chipmakers’ stocks on fire – and the tech companies powering the AI models sinking.\n\n\nMicrosoft and Meta are in a bear market after losing a fifth of their value from their peaks. The rest of the so-called Mag 7 tech giants – Amazon, Apple, Google, Nvidia and Tesla – are in correction territory, falling at least 10% from their recent highs.\n\n\nTo illustrate the Tale of Two AI Cities: Apple on Thursday announced it would raise prices for MacBooks and iPads because of the memory shortage, sending its stock tumbling more than 6%. Micron, the memory and storage chipmaker, surged nearly 16% Thursday after reporting stellar earnings the night before – because of the boom in demand for its semiconductors.\n\n\nThose market dynamics are giving the industry pause. OpenAI is considering delaying its IPO because of the recent market volatility that could make it hard for the company to fetch its desired $1 trillion valuation, the New York Times reported Thursday.\n\n\nThe Kospi, half the value of which is made up of just two tech behemoths (SK Hynix and Samsung), tripped another circuit breaker Friday, leading to a 20-minute trading break. The Kospi, which has risen around 90% this year, has been volatile for quite some time. But this week has been particularly topsy-turvy – sinking 10% Tuesday, rising 5% and 3% Wednesday and Thursday, and then tumbling again Friday.\n\n\nThe tech sector has been fueling the stock market rally over the past several years. Despite its slump, the semiconductor industry has more than made up the difference, growing to 19% of the S&P 500’s value.\n\n\nBut rising bond yields and the potential for the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates in the coming months could hurt the tech sector, which is particularly susceptible to pain from high borrowing rates.\n\n\nSo if the tech queasiness becomes a tech sell-off, the rest of the stock market will need to do the heavy lifting. The good news: Non-tech sectors are all up this week.\n\n\nAnd even with its reliance on tech, the S&P 500 is only a little over 3% away from its all-time high.\n\n\nMeanwhile, tech stock traders are tiptoeing around mouse traps, eager to get through June without losing an appendage.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

No podían volver a entrar. El temor a las réplicas seguía y el miedo a que la estructura cediera tampoco se había ido.\n\n\n“La misma sensación de miedo nos hizo quedarnos abajo en el carro durmiendo”, contó Muñoz a CNN durante un recorrido por su apartamento, con calma, como quien todavía intenta ordenar lo que vivió en las últimas horas.\n\n\nSu apartamento, en la urbanización Los Palos Grandes, al este de Caracas, quedó seriamente dañado tras los dos sismos consecutivos que sacudieron Venezuela el miércoles por la tarde, con menos de un minuto de diferencia entre uno y otro. Las puertas se trabaron, las paredes se agrietaron y varias zonas del interior quedaron comprometidas.\n\n\nNi Fernando ni su madre estaban en casa cuando ocurrió el primer sismo. Cuando intentaron regresar, ya no pudieron entrar. Más tarde logró acceder por una ventana. Lo que encontró dentro fue suficiente para decidir no volver a pasar la noche allí.\n\n\n“Es duro… ver el apartamento así no tiene nombre”, dijo. “No puedo explicar lo que se siente. Es la sensación del terremoto, el miedo… no se va”.\n\n\nAl entrar, recordó que se encontró con varias paredes dañadas y puertas trabadas. En el pasillo, una de las paredes internas se derrumbó que se podía ver el apartamento del vecino al otro lado.\n\n\nAunque las autoridades han señalado que la estructura no presenta riesgo de colapso, Muñoz como muchos otros vecinos han optado por no regresar a sus casas hasta tener una evaluación más clara. Él y su madre tomaron la decisión de quedarse cerca, afuera en el carro, esperando que pasara la noche.\n\n\nLas autoridades venezolanas han confirmado al menos 235 personas fallecidas tras los fuertes terromotos, según el ministro de Salud, Carlos Alvarado. Además, más de 200 personas permanecen atrapadas bajo los escombros y al menos 157 continúan desaparecidas, cifras que podrían aumentar a medida que avanzan las labores de rescate.\n\n\nEn las primeras horas posteriores al desastre —consideradas las más críticas para encontrar sobrevivientes— vecinos se han unido a los equipos de emergencia, excavando con palas improvisadas o con las manos ante la falta de maquinaria pesada suficiente.\n\n\nA pocos kilómetros de la capital, en el estado costero de La Guaira, una de las zonas más afectadas, el paisaje es de devastación. Viviendas colapsadas, estructuras inestables y comunidades enteras intentan despejar los escombros por su cuenta y piden el envío de más ayuda.\n\n\nLa angustia en esta zona se multiplica entre quienes no saben el paradero de sus familiares y quienes, aun sabiéndolo, esperan sin poder intervenir.\n\n\n“Se quedó atrapado, ahí está en los escombros, no sé bien cómo quedó la casa porque de verdad no he visto”, contó Dinorah Escalona en entrevista con CNN. Su hermano permanece bajo los restos de su vivienda en la urbanización Los Corales, en Caraballeda, mientras la familia espera la llegada de rescatistas.\n\n\nEn medio de la emergencia, el ministro del Interior, Diosdado Cabello, pidió a la población confiar en la respuesta del Gobierno.\n\n\n“Tenemos al pueblo de La Guaira organizado hasta este momento y es una de las cosas que más le pedimos, que el pueblo se organice, que confíe en su Gobierno”, dijo en un mensaje a medios transmitido por la televisora estatal VTV.\n\n\nCabello añadió que las autoridades trabajan con brigadas y maquinaria para acelerar las búsquedas y que la organización vecinal es clave para ubicar a las personas desaparecidas y coordinar los rescates.\n\n\nAnte la magnitud del desastre, equipos especializados de Estados Unidos, México, Colombia, España y otros países comenzaron a movilizarse hacia Venezuela en coordinación con autoridades locales y Naciones Unidas.\n\n\nEl terreno, sin embargo, sigue siendo difícil. Las réplicas constantes y la falta de maquinaria pesada ralentizan las operaciones en zonas críticas, mientras comunidades enteras continúan removiendo escombros por su cuenta.\n\n\nTrabajadores humanitarios que también vivieron el terremoto en carne propia han debido reorganizarse para responder a la emergencia. Algunos incluso pasaron la noche al aire libre por temor a nuevos colapsos.\n\n\n“La situación sobre el terreno es catastrófica”, dijo Ciarán Donnelly, vicepresidente sénior del Comité Internacional de Rescate, al describir un escenario donde la respuesta humanitaria enfrenta limitaciones importantes.\n\n\nSus equipos, dijo, han comenzado a concentrarse en asistencia inmediata: alimentos, agua, refugio y evaluación de riesgos sanitarios en zonas desplazadas.\n\n\nYa han pasado más de 24 horas desde los dos sismos de magnitudes 7,2 y 7,5 que sacudieron Venezuela alrededor de las 6 de la tarde del miércoles. En ciudades como Caracas, los daños estructurales siguen siendo evaluados edificio por edificio, mientras vecinos intentan regresar —o no— a lo que queda de sus hogares.\n\n\nPara Fernando Muñoz, como para miles de personas, el terremoto no terminó cuando cesó el movimiento. Continúa cada vez que cae la noche y hay que decidir si es seguro volver a casa.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

Shoichet y Tami Luhby, CNN\n\n\nHasta el jueves por la mañana, cientos de miles de haitianos vivían y trabajaban legalmente en Estados Unidos, junto con miles de sirios. Ahora, sus permisos de trabajo están a punto de expirar y sus protecciones contra la deportación se cancelarán, lo que los dejará en un limbo legal.\n\n\nEl cambio abrupto de rumbo se debe a la decisión de la Corte Suprema, que determinó que el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional tenía amplia discreción para decidir cuándo extender o terminar una forma de ayuda humanitaria conocida como Estatus de Protección Temporal.\n\n\nFue una victoria importante para la administración Trump y su promesa de deportación masiva.\n\n\nSi bien el caso se centró en los aproximadamente 350.000 haitianos y 6.000 sirios que cuentan con la protección del Estatus de Protección Temporal (TPS), sus repercusiones podrían afectar a cientos de miles de ciudadanos de otros 11 países.\n\n\nLas repercusiones se sentirán en las comunidades donde viven y en los sectores en los que trabajan.\n\n\n“Sería el mayor caso de desdocumentación de personas en la historia de Estados Unidos”, declaró Ahilan Arulanantham, quien defendió el caso del TPS sirio ante la Corte Suprema y es profesor de derecho en la Facultad de Derecho de UCLA.\n\n\nEn una decisión de 6 a 3, la corte dictaminó que los tribunales inferiores no tenían potestad para revocar las decisiones del DHS sobre la designación TPS, que permite a los nacionales de ciertos países que atraviesan crisis humanitarias o naturales vivir y trabajar legalmente en Estados Unidos mientras la designación TPS sea válida.\n\n\nDiecisiete países cuentan con la designación de Estatus de Protección Temporal. La administración Trump ha tomado medidas para revocar dicho estatus para 13 de ellos.\n\n\nLa decisión de la corte sobre el Estatus de Protección Temporal fue una de las dos victorias en materia de inmigración que otorgó a la administración Trump el jueves.\n\n\nEn un fallo aparte, también por 6 votos contra 3, el tribunal allanó el camino para que la administración Trump reanudara una política controvertida que le permitía rechazar sistemáticamente a los inmigrantes en la frontera sur.\n\n\nEn conjunto, estas decisiones otorgan a la administración —y a las que la sucedan— mayor margen de maniobra para decidir quién puede estar en Estados Unidos.\n\n\n“Gracias a estas decisiones, ahora contamos con varias herramientas importantes más para seguir protegiendo nuestras fronteras”, declaró James Percival, asesor jurídico general del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional, en un comunicado.\n\n\nY la que podría ser la decisión más importante del Tribunal Supremo en materia de inmigración sigue pendiente: se espera que se pronuncie próximamente sobre el decreto del Gobierno de Trump que busca poner fin a la ciudadanía por derecho de nacimiento tal como se ha entendido durante más de un siglo.\n\n\nLa ciudadanía de cientos de miles de bebés nacidos en Estados Unidos de padres no ciudadanos está en juego.\n\n\nSi bien ambas decisiones del jueves tienen amplias repercusiones, es probable que los efectos de la decisión de la corte sobre el TPS se sientan de inmediato, dado a que los cruces en la frontera sur de Estados Unidos siguen siendo bajos.\n\n\nNo está claro cuándo se eliminarán las protecciones, lo que dejaría a los beneficiarios del TPS vulnerables a la deportación, aunque se espera que esto ocurra en el transcurso de los próximos meses.\n\n\nEs probable que las demandas presentadas contra la administración por la revocación del Estatus de Protección Temporal (TPS) para varios países sean desestimadas debido a la decisión del tribunal, lo que permitirá a la administración seguir adelante con sus planes.\n\n\nEsto significa que las personas protegidas contra la deportación bajo designaciones que la administración ha intentado revocar perderán dichos amparos, incluidos sus permisos de trabajo.\n\n\nLa administración Trump ha argumentado que las designaciones de TPS siempre tuvieron un carácter temporal, y que los ciudadanos de los países incluidos en dichas designaciones se han beneficiado de las protecciones contra la deportación mucho después de que fuera seguro regresar a sus hogares.\n\n\nPero Haití ha sufrido durante décadas desastres naturales, inestabilidad política y violencia que han desestabilizado a la nación. Desde el asesinato de su presidente en 2021, el país ha estado prácticamente bajo el control de pandillas.\n\n\nLa designación original de Haití como Estatus de Protección Temporal se originó a raíz de un terremoto de magnitud 7.0 ocurrido en 2010.\n\n\nEn aquel momento, el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS, por sus siglas en inglés) determinó que los ciudadanos haitianos que ya se encontraban en Estados Unidos debían recibir protección temporal para evitar su deportación, dadas las condiciones posteriores al terremoto.\n\n\nEse alivio se ha prorrogado, más recientemente tras el asesinato del presidente Jovenel Moïse en 2021, hasta que la administración Trump le puso fin.\n\n\nEl fallo del jueves también se produjo en el contexto de un par de terremotos —el tipo de desastres que las administraciones anteriores habrían considerado suficientes para que un país fuera elegible para el TPS— que azotaron Venezuela, causando decenas de muertos y cientos de heridos.\n\n\nLa exsecretaria de Seguridad Nacional, Kristi Noem, impulsó la cancelación del Estatus de Protección Temporal (TPS) para los venezolanos en Estados Unidos.\n\n\nSin embargo, según un funcionario estadounidense, hasta el jueves, el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional, ahora dirigido por el secretario Markwayne Mullin, no tenía previsto dar marcha atrás y extender la protección a los venezolanos en Estados Unidos tras los terremotos de esta semana.\n\n\nLos abogados de inmigración instan a las personas procedentes de los países afectados a que busquen lo antes posible cualquier otra vía legal de inmigración.\n\n\n“No espere a ser arrestado por ICE para pensar en esto”, indicó Katie Kersh, abogada principal de Advocates for Basic Legal Equality en Dayton, Ohio. “El sistema de inmigración es muy lento. Es muy difícil lograr algo de emergencia a último minuto”.\n\n\nEl futuro de los beneficiarios del Estatus de Protección Temporal que residen actualmente en Estados Unidos podría variar según las circunstancias de cada persona.\n\n\nAlgunos podrían tener opciones para permanecer legalmente en Estados Unidos, afirmó Geoffrey Pipoly, uno de los abogados que representó a los haitianos beneficiarios del TPS en el caso que se presentó ante la Corte Suprema.\n\n\n“No es una cuestión de todo o nada. Dependerá de los hechos y circunstancias de cada caso si tienen derecho a permanecer aquí. No es una pregunta que pueda responder de forma general. Cada caso se analizará individualmente”, afirmó.\n\n\nPero, añadió, las consecuencias podrían ser nefastas para quienes sean deportados.\n\n\n“Muchas, muchísimas personas van a morir de forma violenta e innecesaria. Esa es la cruda realidad. Eso es lo que me ha quitado el sueño durante los últimos ocho meses”, agregó Pipoly.\n\n\nAlgunos republicanos han advertido sobre la iniciativa del Gobierno de Trump para poner fin al TPS para los haitianos.\n\n\nEl representante Mike Lawler, republicano de Nueva York, afirmó en una publicación en X que, si bien nunca ha cuestionado la capacidad del presidente para poner fin a las designaciones de TPS, no está de acuerdo con la iniciativa de poner fin a la de los haitianos “en este momento”.\n\n\n“La situación sobre el terreno en Haití es un desastre humanitario y político, y sigue justificando una prórroga”, escribió Lawler, cuyo distrito alberga una gran diáspora haitiana.\n\n\nDiversos grupos han solicitado al Congreso que considere una legislación que extienda el Estatus de Protección Temporal para los haitianos durante la administración Trump.\n\n\nEl gobernador republicano de Ohio, Mike DeWine, quien ha apoyado firmemente a los beneficiarios del TPS haitiano, calificó el fallo de la Corte Suprema del jueves como “un error” que perjudicará al estado y su economía, así como a la nación. Los inmigrantes han revitalizado comunidades como Springfield, Ohio.\n\n\n“Como resultado del fallo de hoy, los más de 10.000 haitianos que vivían legalmente en Ohio (principalmente en el área de Springfield) gracias al TPS ahora estarán aquí ilegalmente y serán deportados de inmediato”, declaró DeWine en un comunicado. “Esto también significa que, si bien estos haitianos trabajaban y contribuían a nuestra comunidad y economía ayer, hoy es ilegal emplearlos”.\n\n\nLos haitianos se han convertido en blanco de una virulencia particular por parte de Trump desde su primer mandato.\n\n\nDurante la campaña de 2024, la comunidad haitiana de Springfield fue denigrada repetidamente por Trump y su entonces compañero de fórmula, J.D. Vance, quienes afirmaron falsamente que los inmigrantes de esa ciudad comían mascotas.\n\n\nUn pastor de Springfield declaró a los periodistas tras la decisión del jueves que podría suponer una “tragedia” para la ciudad.\n\n\n“Somos una ciudad que llevaba 50 años en decadencia”, declaró el pastor Carl Ruby de la Iglesia Central Cristiana. “Cuando llegaron los haitianos, fue la primera vez que crecimos en medio siglo”.\n\n\nLa exclusión de los titulares del Estatus de Protección Temporal de Haití del mercado laboral tendrá un impacto importante en muchos empleadores e industrias, así como en la economía en su conjunto, advirtieron grupos empresariales.\n\n\nSegún un análisis de FWD.us, una organización de políticas y defensa centrada en la inmigración que apoya el TPS para los haitianos, a principios de 2025 había cerca de 190.000 beneficiarios del TPS de origen haitiano.\n\n\nEstos beneficiarios aportan aproximadamente US$ 5.900 millones a la economía estadounidense, además de pagar US$ 1.600 millones en impuestos federales, sobre la nómina, estatales y locales.\n\n\n“[Esta] decisión supone un revés devastador para los cientos de miles de beneficiarios del TPS que han construido sus vidas en comunidades de todo Estados Unidos y, lo que es más importante, para nuestra economía, ya que corremos el riesgo de perder trabajadores cualificados, con experiencia y con antecedentes verificados en sectores críticos, desde la atención médica hasta la hostelería, la construcción y otros”, declaró Rebecca Shi, directora ejecutiva de American Business Immigration Coalition Action, en un comunicado.\n\n\nJan Gautam, director ejecutivo de IHRMC Hotels & Resorts, probablemente tendrá que despedir a cerca del 20 % de su personal en decenas de hoteles de Florida a raíz del fallo judicial.\n\n\nSin los trabajadores, podría verse obligado a mantener algunas habitaciones cerradas en ocasiones, ya que los hoteles no podrían prepararlas con prontitud para los siguientes huéspedes.\n\n\nAdemás, tendría que dedicar tiempo a encontrar nuevos empleados —una tarea que ya de por sí es complicada— y gastar miles de dólares en su formación.\n\n\n“La mayoría de estos trabajadores haitianos con Estatus de Protección Temporal (TPS) están dispuestos a trabajar en cualquier situación, limpiando baños y habitaciones sucias, para mantener a sus familias”, comentó Gautam, miembro de la Coalición Estadounidense de Inmigración Empresarial. “Además, pagan impuestos”.\n\n\nEl sector de la atención a personas mayores, que ya enfrenta una grave escasez de personal, también se prepara para las consecuencias de esta decisión en residencias de ancianos, centros de vida asistida y servicios de atención domiciliaria, dado que muchos de sus empleados son ciudadanos haitianos con Estatus de Protección Temporal (TPS).\n\n\n Algunos podrían verse obligados a limitar los ingresos o las solicitudes de servicio hasta que puedan contratar a más trabajadores.\n\n\nColin O’Leary, director ejecutivo del Centro de Rehabilitación y Cuidados Especializados Laurel Ridge, está preocupado por cómo podrá reemplazar a los aproximadamente 10 empleados clave que probablemente tendrá que despedir. Pero, aún más importante, le preocupa el impacto en los 115 residentes del centro de Boston.\n\n\n“Se pierden cuidadores muy cariñosos que han establecido relaciones con nuestros adultos mayores”, expresó.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

El cambio eliminaría el curso de “Culturas del Mundo” de sexto grado y ampliaría significativamente las lecciones sobre comunismo.\n\n\nLas propuestas, que entrarían en vigor en 2030, han dividido profundamente a docentes, padres y miembros de la comunidad, cientos de los cuales se presentaron ante la junta escolar esta semana para expresar su preocupación y entusiasmo.\n\n\nQuienes apoyan las propuestas argumentan que la Biblia debe estudiarse como un texto literario esencial que puede ayudar a los estudiantes a comprender la historia occidental y la fundación de Estados Unidos. Un grupo político lo ha celebrado como la “batalla final” de una campaña por eliminar de las escuelas de Texas las lecciones sobre raza e historia que, según afirman, dividen a los estudiantes y critican a los fundadores de Estados Unidos.\n\n\nSin embargo, quienes se oponen a los cambios afirman que la lista de lecturas obligatorias favorece al cristianismo sobre otras religiones y viola la separación constitucional entre la Iglesia y el Estado. Según afirman, estas enseñanzas también podrían menoscabar la capacidad de los padres para guiar la educación religiosa de sus hijos, especialmente en hogares no cristianos.\n\n\nEn los últimos años, los líderes de Texas han eliminado en gran medida los estudios sobre diversidad racial y cultural, al tiempo que han ampliado la capacidad de las escuelas para introducir el cristianismo a los estudiantes.\n\n\nEn 2023, el estado se convirtió en el primero en permitir que los capellanes brindaran consejería a los estudiantes, y al año siguiente aprobó una medida que ofrecía más fondos a las escuelas que imparten un currículo opcional de primaria con énfasis bíblico. El código educativo estatal ya exige que las escuelas de primaria y secundaria enseñen “literatura religiosa, incluyendo las Escrituras Hebreas (Antiguo Testamento) y el Nuevo Testamento, y su impacto en la historia y la literatura”.\n\n\nLos defensores del currículo propuesto argumentan que, a medida que los estudiantes aprenden historia de Estados Unidos, los textos cristianos deben ser inseparables de las lecciones sobre la fundación de la nación.\n\n\n“No tenemos por qué incorporar todas las creencias religiosas en nuestra historia ni en nuestras obras literarias, porque nuestra nación se fundó sobre valores judeocristianos”, declaró Susan Pérez, fundadora de Ciudadanos por la Reforma Educativa, un grupo cristiano de defensa de los padres, en una reunión de la junta escolar el lunes.\n\n\nPérez señaló las referencias cristianas en la Declaración de Independencia y la Constitución de los Estados Unidos, firmada en el año 1787.\n\n\nDe aprobarse, a los alumnos de segundo grado se les enseñaría el cuento “¡Rugido! – Daniel en el foso de los leones”.\n\n\nA medida que los alumnos progresen en su nivel de lectura, se les presentarían directamente pasajes de la Biblia. Los alumnos de sexto grado aprenderían el “Salmo del Pastor” del Libro de los Salmos, junto con escritos religiosos de George Washington y poemas de Langston Hughes y Robert Frost.\n\n\nVarios miembros de la comunidad han expresado su preocupación de que el plan infrinja su autonomía como padres para supervisar la educación religiosa de sus hijos. Kimmie Fink, madre de una familia militar en servicio activo destinada en Texas, declaró ante la junta: “Quisiera creer que el derecho a la libertad religiosa de mis hijos, garantizado por la Constitución, se mantendrá intacto dondequiera que estemos destinados”.\n\n\n“¿Acaso no es así en Texas, un estado que defiende los derechos de los padres? En Texas, los padres tienen el derecho legal fundamental de dirigir la educación moral y religiosa de sus hijos sin interferencia estatal. Las obras literarias propuestas vulneran este derecho”, añadió Fink.\n\n\nAlgunos defensores de los cambios curriculares refutan los argumentos de que a los niños se les enseñará religión explícitamente, afirmando que los pasajes y relatos bíblicos se enseñarán en el contexto de la historia universal.\n\n\n“Se utilizan como contenido literario e histórico, no como instrucción religiosa”, declaró ante la junta Nancy Barker, exadministradora de escuelas públicas. “Las referencias bíblicas proporcionarán a los estudiantes los conocimientos básicos necesarios para comprender los libros, discursos, poemas y documentos importantes que han moldeado nuestra civilización”.\n\n\nLa concejala Tiffany Clark, cristiana y demócrata que representa a parte de Dallas-Fort Worth, se ha opuesto abiertamente al plan de estudios propuesto. Clark afirmó que ella y algunos de sus electores cristianos creen que “las lecciones bíblicas deberían impartirse los domingos”.\n\n\n“No todos creemos lo mismo”, dijo Clark, señalando que las denominaciones cristianas utilizan diferentes traducciones de la Biblia y, en ocasiones, difieren en sus interpretaciones.\n\n\nEl plan de estudios propuesto exige traducciones específicas de la Biblia, incluida la Biblia Reina Valera, ampliamente utilizada por las iglesias protestantes y evangélicas, pero evitada por la Iglesia Católica Romana.\n\n\nClark también expresó su temor de que el énfasis en los textos cristianos aleje a los niños de otras religiones e impida que sus padres moldeen exclusivamente su educación religiosa. Aproximadamente un tercio de los adultos en Texas se identifican como no cristianos, según encuestas del Centro de Investigación Pew de 2023-2024.\n\n\nAunque los padres tendrían la opción de eximir a sus hijos de algunas de las enseñanzas obligatorias, Clark señaló que la falta de clases podría afectar las calificaciones de los estudiantes en las pruebas. Dado que los textos formarían parte del currículo, podrían incluirse en las pruebas estandarizadas, lo que podría afectar el historial de resultados del distrito escolar si los estudiantes no obtienen buenos resultados.\n\n\nUna madre que habló ante la junta escolar el lunes en apoyo de la propuesta afirmó que cree que Texas siempre se ha caracterizado por “brindar a nuestros hijos el conocimiento que necesitan para tener éxito”.\n\n\n“Mantener las referencias bíblicas en nuestros estándares de estudios sociales no se trata de imponer mi religión, sino de brindar a nuestros estudiantes una educación integral y asegurar que comprendan la historia”, declaró la madre.\n\n\nSin embargo, los maestros podrían verse obligados a enseñar textos religiosos con los que no están familiarizados o con los que no se sienten cómodos, señaló el rabino Joshua Fixler de la Congregación Emanu El en Houston.\n\n\n“Esta lista está llena de textos cristianos inapropiados para las aulas de las escuelas públicas. Como rabino y padre de niños judíos, creo que es vital que esta junta distinga entre enseñar sobre religión y enseñar religión. Esta lista obligará a los maestros a cruzar esa línea”, afirmó Fixler.\n\n\nDe implementarse, el currículo de literatura obligatorio podría ser pionero en su tipo, según Antero García, presidente del Consejo Nacional de Profesores de Inglés y profesor de educación en la Universidad de Stanford.\n\n\nGarcía declaró a Associated Press que desconoce la existencia de una lista similar en otros estados. Añadió que, por lo general, los educadores, tanto a nivel distrital como escolar, tienen libertad para elegir los textos que leerán sus alumnos.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Como casi todos los que hacen parte de la diáspora están profundamente conmocionados y afectados por la difícil situación que se vive en el vecino país tras los terremotos registrados este miércoles.\n\n\nDicen que la prioridad en estas primeras horas es ayudar a rescatar a los sobrevivientes y atender a los heridos. Han contactado a las autoridades colombianas para poder coordinar la ayuda que se va a enviar solidariamente a los cientos de miles de afectados en todo el país.\n\n\n“Estos terremotos han golpeado severamente al país y, más allá de la consternación, estamos ocupándonos como comunidad venezolana organizándonos. De hecho, Diego tiene acá una de las empresas más grandes de envíos a Venezuela y estamos con diferentes fundaciones tratando de organizar todo. Nuestra complicación ahorita no es conseguir centros de acopio y donaciones. Nuestra complicación ahorita es conseguir que esas donaciones lleguen de manera efectiva a Venezuela”, le dijo a CNN Alejandro Méndez de la fundación Cedrizuela.\n\n\nY es que desde la noche del miércoles fueron cancelados todos los vuelos comerciales entre Colombia y Venezuela. Y solo hay acceso a ese país por las fronteras terrestres y fluviales de los departamentos de La Guajira, Norte de Santander y Arauca. Lo que complica aún más la logística para el envío de las ayudas que se requieren de manera urgente para los afectados.\n\n\n“Nuestra solidaridad con el pueblo venezolano tras el terremoto que hoy enluta y afecta a tantas familias. Ya activamos todas las capacidades del Sector Defensa, articuladas con la UNGRD, para brindar el apoyo que Venezuela requiera en estos difíciles momentos”, afirmó en su cuenta oficial en la red social X el general en retiro Pedro Sánchez, ministro de defensa de Colombia. El funcionario agregó que se están coordinando totos los esfuerzos para poder asistir de la manera más rápida al pueblo venezolano. “Nuestras Fuerzas Militares, la Policía Nacional y la Defensa Civil ya coordinan las acciones necesarias preparatorias a disposición de la UNGRD (Unidad Nacional de Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres). En los desastres naturales no existen fronteras, existen naciones hermanas que se ayudan mutuamente”, puntualizó Sánchez.\n\n\nY es esa coordinación la que están buscando y necesitan los venezolanos en Colombia que quieren enviar ayuda a sus compatriotas. “Lo que sé es que estamos preparados para ayudar. Mucha gente dispuesta para este tema de las ayudas. Estamos esperando respuestas para ver a donde hacer llegar estas ayudas. Estamos esperando respuestas del gobierno colombiano para poder hacer una logística interna dentro de Colombia para poder hacer un acopio desde Bogotá y que de aquí salgan las ayudas directamente a Venezuela de manera un poco más rápida”, comentó a CNN Diego Vélez de la empresa WED envíos y quien también hace parte de la fundación Juntos se puede.\n\n\nLo que más se necesita en estos momentos, coinciden Méndez y Vélez, es personal experto en rescates, maquinaria, insumos médicos, kits de primeros auxilios, mantas y carpas para los sobrevivientes y sus familias.\n\n\nLa Cancillería colombiana, mediante un comunicado, expresó su solidaridad con Venezuela tras los eventos sísmicos y ofreció ayuda a las autoridades de ese país. “En la primera fase esta respuesta contempla el envío de equipos especializados de búsqueda y rescate, listos para su eventual despliegue de acuerdo a las necesidades que determinen las autoridades venezolanas”.\n\n\nHasta el momento, según el ministerio de relaciones exteriores, no hay reportes de colombianos afectados o que requieran ayuda del consulado en Caracas.\n\n\n“Desde ayer estamos en esta incertidumbre con situaciones bastante complicadas de dolor. Gracias a Dios mi familia está bien. Lo primero que hice fue llamar a mi hija por video llamada. Ella, a pesar de que se fue la electricidad y se fue la señal satelital, ella tiene una antena cerca y logró comunicarse y ya uno se calma. Hoy mi hermano en el estado Falcón sintió una réplica, pero todos están bien. Muchos familiares y amigos están apareciendo ahora heridos y en situaciones difíciles, sin casa, ¡pero están vivos!, nos relató Leonardo Chirinos, un venezolano residente en Bogotá en medio de la angustia por sus seres queridos que están apenas asimilando lo ocurrido.\n\n\nY es que Colombia es uno de los países con más presencia de migrantes venezolanos debido a su condición fronteriza. Muchos han llegado al país buscando mejores condiciones de vida y acceso a salud, trabajo y educación. Por eso tragedias naturales como estos terremotos afectan de manera directa a millones de quienes han encontrado refugio en el país.\n\n\nDe acuerdo con el último Informe de caracterización socioeconómica y balance demográfico publicado por el Observatorio de Migración Colombia, la cifra de ciudadanos venezolanos residiendo en el país se sitúa en 2.841.048 personas. El 82% de esta población, según la entidad, se encuentra hoy en condición migratoria regular, la gran mayoría cobijada bajo las medidas de regularización y el Estatuto Temporal de Protección.\n\n\nLas fundaciones que han iniciado ya la recolección de las ayudas han dispuesto ya 6 puntos de acopio en Bogotá, Medellín y Cali.\n\n\nLas autoridades en las zonas de frontera terrestre y fluvial han manifestado que el tránsito entre los dos países ha mostrado un flujo normal este jueves. Sin embargo, hay planes de contingencia en marcha por si se produce un desplazamiento migratorio masivo hacia Colombia en los próximos días.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

And it was very strong … we gathered out here and saw all the damage,” local resident José Terraza, 68, told journalists on the ground working on behalf of CNN.\n\n\nThe buildings across the way from his home in Playa Grande collapsed, but his apartment building is still standing. Residents spent the long night outside, with whatever belongings they managed to grab, as they feared possible aftershocks.\n\n\nCries of family members calling out for their missing loved ones pierce the air.\n\n\nVideo on Venezuelan state television showed buildings missing facades, tilted on their foundations. What was left of other buildings were buried under piles of their own debris. Other video showed massive piles of debris as people climbed and searched around the colossal heaps. Other buildings were seen entirely crumbled on the ground.\n\n\nSmashed windows, broken pipes and slabs of concrete lay amid stuffed animals, clothes and shoes. Some satellite images even show evidence of fire damage, consistent with reports of firefighters supporting the emergency response.\n\n\nResidents said that there is not enough aid to meet people’s needs, and that the first responders are struggling to cope with the number of people injured or missing under the rubble.\n\n\nVenezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez declared the state of La Guaira a disaster zone, saying late on Wednesday night that “the situation in La Guaira is a true tragedy.”\n\n\nPeople gathered in public spaces, carrying whatever they could manage to salvage and bring with them, according to MSF. Others decided to stay outdoors, in fear of their buildings being next.\n\n\nSchools and sports stadiums have turned into makeshift shelters, hosting those who lost their homes. Other public buildings have become collection centers for emergency supplies, as aid groups have stressed the urgent need for essential household items, safe water and sanitation.\n\n\nThe Venezuelan Red Cross has said urgent medical care including trauma care and psychological support are needed as residents are reeling from the tragedy.\n\n\nLa Guaira is one of Venezuela’s 23 states and is located in the north of the country, on the coast, and has faced immense tragedy in the past.\n\n\n“Maritime and air gateway”\n\n\n\nWhile La Guaira was the hardest hit, it wasn’t the epicenter – which was in the nearby state of Yaracuy, according to USGS.\n\n\nBut La Guaira is home to one of the largest seaports in Venezuela and the Simón Bolívar International Airport, which serves the capital, Caracas, and is the country’s most important airport.\n\n\nIt’s why the state is known as the “maritime and air gateway” to Venezuela. “With a high population density concentrated in its metropolitan area, this state is an economic engine that drives Venezuela,” the country’s government says.\n\n\nLa Guaira borders the Caribbean Sea, the capital district, and the states of Aragua and Miranda.\n\n\n“Its economic development is above the national average. The state’s strategic location, as Venezuela’s maritime and air gateway, gives it geopolitical and economic relevance,” according to the Venezuelan government.\n\n\nIt is one of the most populated states in the country and is estimated to have a population of around 300,000 inhabitants, according to the Universidad Centroccidental Lisandro Alvarado, a public educational institution in Venezuela.\n\n\nNo stranger to tragedy\n\n\n\nLa Guaira was previously known as Vargas state up until June 2019, when the state’s name change was made official.\n\n\nStill called Vargas at the time, the state went through one of its most tragic moments in December 1999, when a landslide caused by torrential rains led to the death and disappearance of thousands of people. Houses and vehicles were buried under wave of thick mud.\n\n\nThe Red Cross at the time said that half a million people were affected. More than 10 days of flooding battered the capital and nine states. Rivers overflowed their banks and parts of the central coastal region were buried under mud, the Red Cross said in a report a year later.\n\n\nResearchers from the Central University of Venezuela stated in an article that the 1999 tragedy resulted in about 15,000 people missing or dead, around US $3.5 billion in losses, the destruction of more than 15,000 homes, and approximately 75,000 people left homeless.\n\n\nBut the Venezuelan government never released an official death toll.\n\n\nWater and sanitization became a top priority in the immediate aftermath of the infamous mudslide, with the Red Cross working with the state water company and the Venezuelan military to provide safe drinking water to people. Most of the water and sewage systems were destroyed in Vargas, and the country required assistance for months after the tragedy, with aid groups going in to address health and rehabilitation needs.\n\n\nMuch like the tragedy more than two decades ago, the full scale of destruction from the latest earthquakes may not be known for several days or weeks, as La Guaira’s residents reel from yet another disaster in their state’s history.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Now, their work permits are set to expire and their deportation...","content":"By Michael Williams, Priscilla Alvarez, Catherine E. Shoichet, Tami Luhby, CNN\n\n\n(CNN) — Until Thursday morning, hundreds of thousands of Haitians were legally living and working in the United States, along with thousands of Syrians. Now, their work permits are set to expire and their deportation protections will be terminated, throwing them in legal limbo.\n\n\nThe abrupt change in fate stems from the Supreme Court decision which found that the Department of Homeland Security had broad discretion in determining when to extend or terminate a form of humanitarian relief known as Temporary Protected Status.\n\n\nIt was a major victory for the Trump administration and its mass deportation pledge. And while the case was focused on the roughly 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians who have TPS protection, its repercussions stand to affect hundreds of thousands of additional nationals from 11 other countries. The shockwaves will be felt throughout the communities where they live and the industries in which they work.\n\n\n“It would be the largest dedocumentization event of people in US history,” said Ahilan Arulanantham, who argued the Syrian TPS case before the Supreme Court and is a law professor at UCLA School of Law.\n\n\nIn a 6-3 decision, the court said lower courts had no ability to overrule DHS’s decisions on the TPS designation, which allows nationals from certain countries that are experiencing humanitarian or natural crises to legally live and work in the US as long as the TPS designation is valid.\n\n\nSeventeen countries have TPS designation. The Trump administration has moved to end that status for 13 of them.\n\n\nThe court’s decision on Temporary Protected Status was one of two immigration-related wins it handed to the Trump administration on Thursday. In a separate decision, also 6-3, the court cleared the way for the Trump administration to resume a controversial policy that allowed it to systematically turn away migrants from the southern border.\n\n\nCombined, the decisions give the administration — and those that follow — greater latitude on who is allowed to be in the United States.\n\n\n“Thanks to these decisions, we now have several more important tools to continue securing our borders,” said Department of Homeland Security General Counsel James Percival in a statement.\n\n\nAnd potentially the biggest immigration-related decision from the Supreme Court remains pending: it is due to rule shortly on the Trump administration’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship as it’s been understood for more than century. The citizenship of hundreds of thousands of babies born in the US to certain non-citizen parents hangs in the balance.\n\n\nWhat happens next\n\n\n\nWhile both of Thursday’s decisions have wide-ranging implications, the effects of the court’s TPS decision are likely to be felt more immediately, given that crossings at the US southern border remain low. It’s unclear when the stripping of protections will happen, making TPS beneficiaries vulnerable for removal, though it’s expected to unfold over the course of months.\n\n\nLegal challenges against the administration over revoking TPS for multiple countries will likely be dismissed because of the court’s decision – allowing the administration to move forward with its plans. That means that people who are protected from deportation under designations that the administration has moved to revoke would have those protections stripped, including their work permits.\n\n\nThe Trump administration has argued that TPS designations were always meant to be temporary, and that citizens from countries which are included under the designations have taken advantage of protections against deportation far past when it was safe to return to their homes.\n\n\nBut Haiti has experienced decades worth of natural disasters, political turmoil and violence that has destabilized the country. Since the assassination of its president in 2021, the country has essentially been operating under gang control.\n\n\nHaiti’s original TPS designation stemmed from a 7.0-magnitude earthquake in 2010. At the time, DHS determined Haitian nationals already in the US should be granted temporary protections from being sent back to their country, given the conditions following that earthquake.\n\n\nThat relief has been extended, most recently after President Jovenel Moïse’s 2021 assassination, until being terminated by the Trump administration.\n\n\nThursday’s ruling also came against the backdrop of a pair of earthquakes – the type of disasters that previous administrations would have considered making a country eligible for TPS – that struck Venezuela, killing scores and wounding hundreds.\n\n\nFormer DHS Secretary Kristi Noem moved to terminate TPS for Venezuelans in the United States. As of Thursday, DHS, which is now led by Secretary Markwayne Mullin, is not planning to reverse course and extend protections to Venezuelans in the US in the wake of this week’s earthquakes, according to a US official.\n\n\nImmigration attorneys are urging people from the affected countries to seek any other legal immigration pathways as quickly as possible.\n\n\n“Do not wait until you are being arrested by ICE to think about this,” said Katie Kersh, managing attorney at Advocates for Basic Legal Equality in Dayton, Ohio. “The immigration system moves very slowly. It’s very difficult to get something done as an emergency at the last minute.”\n\n\nThe future of TPS holders currently living in the United States could vary based on a person’s circumstances. Some may have options to remain legally in the United States, said Geoffrey Pipoly, one of the attorneys who represented Haitian TPS holders in the case that was heard before the Supreme Court.\n\n\n“It’s not an all or nothing thing. It’s going to depend on individual facts and circumstances whether they have a right to remain. It’s not a question I can answer in general, it’s going to be case by case,” he said.\n\n\nBut, he added, the consequences could be dire for those who are deported.\n\n\n“Many, many people are going to die violent, needless deaths. That’s the bottom line. That’s the thing that’s kept me up nights for the past eight months,” Pipoly said.\n\n\nPolitical reverberations\n\n\n\nSome Republicans have warned against the Trump administration’s push to end TPS for Haitians. Rep. Mike Lawler, a New York Republican, said in a post on X that, while he has never questioned the president’s ability to end TPS designations, he disagrees with the push to end the one for Haitians “at this time.”\n\n\n“The situation on the ground in Haiti is a humanitarian and political disaster and continues to warrant an extension,” Lawler, whose district contains a large Haitian diaspora, wrote.\n\n\nAdvocates have asked Congress to consider legislation that would extend TPS for Haitians through the Trump administration.\n\n\nRepublican Gov. Mike DeWine of Ohio, who has strongly supported Haitian TPS holders, called Thursday’s Supreme Court ruling “a mistake” that will hurt the state and its economy, as well as the nation. The immigrants have revitalized communities such as Springfield, Ohio,\n\n\n“As a result of today’s ruling, the over 10,000 Haitians who have been living in Ohio (mostly in the Springfield area) legally through TPS will now be here illegally and will be subject to immediate deportation,” DeWine said in a statement. “This also means that while these Haitians were working and contributing to our community and economy yesterday, today it is now illegal to employ them.”\n\n\nHaitians have become a target of particular vitriol for Trump stemming from his first administration. During the 2024 campaign, the Haitian community in Springfield was repeatedly denigrated by Trump and his then-running mate, JD Vance, both of whom falsely claimed immigrants in that city were eating pets.\n\n\nA pastor in Springfield told reporters after Thursday’s decision that it could spell a “tragedy” for the city.\n\n\n“We’re a city that had been in decline for 50 years,” Pastor Carl Ruby of Central Christian Church said. “When Haitians arrived, that was the first time we grew in half a century.”\n\n\nContributing nearly $6 billion to the economy\n\n\n\nRemoving Haitian TPS holders from the workforce will have a major impact on many employers and industries, as well as the economy as a whole, business groups warned.\n\n\nNearly 190,000 Haitian TPS holders were employed in early 2025, according to an analysis by FWD.us, a policy and advocacy organization focused on immigration that supports TPS for Haitians. They contribute an estimated $5.9 billion to the US economy, as well as pay $1.6 billion in federal, payroll, state and local taxes.\n\n\n“[The] decision is a devastating setback for the hundreds of thousands of TPS holders who have built their lives in communities across America and, importantly, for our economy as we stand to lose long term, vetted and skilled workers in critical sectors from healthcare to hospitality to construction and beyond,” Rebecca Shi, CEO of American Business Immigration Coalition Action, said in a statement.\n\n\nJan Gautam, CEO of IHRMC Hotels & Resorts, will likely have to lay off roughly 20% of his staff at dozens of hotels in Florida in the wake of the ruling.\n\n\nWithout the workers, he could have to keep some rooms closed at times because the hotels won’t be able to promptly prepare them for the next guests. Plus, he’ll have to spend time finding new employees – already a challenging task – and shell out thousands of dollars training each of them.\n\n\n“Most of these Haitian TPS workers are willing to work in any situation, cleaning dirty toilets and dirty rooms, to take care of their own families,” said Gautam, who is a member of the American Business Immigration Coalition. “At the same time, they also pay taxes.”\n\n\nThe elder care industry, which is already facing a severe staffing shortage, is also bracing for what the decision will mean for nursing homes, assisted living facilities and home care since many of their employees are Haitian TPS holders. Some may have to limit admissions or requests for service until they can hire more workers.\n\n\nColin O’Leary, executive director at Laurel Ridge Rehabilitation & Skilled Care Center, is concerned about how he’ll be able to replace the roughly 10 key staffers that he’ll likely have to let go. But even more than that, he’s worried about the impact on the 115 residents at the Boston facility.\n\n\n“You lose very caring caregivers that have established relationships with our seniors,” he said.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The first half of that fine will be paid within five days of sentencing, according to prosecutors. He will also forfeit his pension, according to prosecutors.\n\n\n“I am required to calculate the guidelines myself,” Judge Theodore Chuang warned Bolton during the hearing, noting it may vary from the agreed guidelines between Bolton’s attorneys and prosecutors.\n\n\nHis sentencing is scheduled for October 28.\n\n\n“As national security adviser to the president of the United States, Mr. Bolton had access to and was responsible for safeguarding the most sensitive national defense information including classified material,” Maryland US Attorney Kelly Hayes told reporters after the hearing. “He knew where it should be stored, how it should be stored and with whom he could share that information.”\n\n\n“He also knew the damage to national security that could be caused by mishandling that sensitive information. Nevertheless, as Mr. Bolton just admitted, he put our nation security at grave risk in violation of the law,” she added.\n\n\nBolton did not speak to reporters at the federal courthouse Friday morning. His lawyer, Abbe Lowell, issued a statement shortly after the hearing.\n\n\n“Today, Ambassador Bolton did what real leaders do. He took responsibility for a mistake he made, thereby saving the government resources to pursue a case that could expose additional sensitive information,” Lowell said. “By contrast, President Trump thumbed his nose at the classified information laws, took actual classified documents to his Florida mansion, interfered with the investigation of that conduct, and has never accepted any accountability for his conduct.”\n\n\n“Ambassador Bolton, whose offense was only keeping a diary which contained classified information, kept a record to preserve history, but Donald Trump kept secrets to serve himself,” he added.\n\n\nUnlike cases against Trump’s other political enemies, like former FBI Director James Comey, Bolton’s case maintained support of career prosecutors and investigators.\n\n\nBolton’s plea deal — in which he admits to sharing sensitive national security information with his wife and daughter — amounts to one felony count.\n\n\nThat fine amount could claw back much of the money Bolton earned from the sale of his memoir in 2020, which was deeply critical of Trump and which prompted the president to attack him publicly.\n\n\nWhy the case held up\n\n\n\nWhile several US attorneys have attempted to stand up cases against well-known political figures that Trump dislikes, the Bolton plea deal was secured by Hayes, an understated but effective career prosecutor in Maryland, who has been serving as US attorney since shortly after Trump took office last year.\n\n\n“Everybody’s pleasantly surprised she’s still in the job,” one person who knows the office well said this week. “In some ways, she’s been trying to keep her head down … A lot of US attorney’s offices tried to attract attention” of the White House.\n\n\nMaryland US Attorney Hayes’ approach, and the Bolton case itself, are viewed more seriously than the indictments and investigations of others who have faced federal charges at Trump’s urging, several sources familiar with the case and the office have told CNN.\n\n\nHayes also previously faced some pressure out of Washington, DC, to investigate California Sen. Adam Schiff, who hasn’t been charged with any crime. Assistant US attorneys in the office looked closely at the possibility of charging the senator related to his mortgage applications, and explained their hesitations to Justice Department leadership, people familiar with it told CNN. Schiff has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.\n\n\nHayes was able to remove herself from political pressure, largely by staying out of the political limelight of the Trump era, and maintained relationships with Justice Department leaders, people familiar with the office say.\n\n\nBolton, in the end, admits to only a sliver of what federal law enforcement investigated. The plea agreement is narrowly focused on the information he is accused of sending to his wife and daughter.\n\n\nThe indictment accused him of 18 violations – eight counts of transmitting national defense information and 10 instances of illegal retention. His plea agreement will cut that down to one count of illegally retaining national defense information.\n\n\nBolton’s case, had it gone to trial, could have dragged significant classified information into the public eye.\n\n\nPart of his decision to plead guilty was driven by a wish to avoid a trial — specifically one that had the potential to publicize sensitive information, according to a person familiar with his thinking.\n\n\nIn comments Bolton made after he was charged in October, he likened his prosecution to the horrific abuses of Joseph Stalin’s secret police and claimed he was “the latest target in weaponizing the Justice Department.”\n\n\nYet since the charges were unveiled last fall, the case has been viewed — even by critics of the Justice Department — as a legitimate prosecution decision.\n\n\nIt’s expected that Bolton will advocate for no prison time, and the Justice Department may seek to jail him, setting up a major showdown at the sentencing, people familiar with the case say.\n\n\nA Justice Department spokesperson on Thursday said that Bolton’s deal to plead guilty to a single criminal charge “is a common practice … and is in line with current DOJ charging and pleading policy.”\n\n\nThe spokesperson added that Bolton’s behavior that isn’t ultimately part of the charge on the books may be factored into conduct the judge reviews at his sentencing.\n\n\nA single charge\n\n\n\nBolton was accused of sending summaries and notes that included classified information to himself and to his immediate family at a time where he was keeping his own “archives,” and was frustrated by Trump’s leadership. The president ultimately fired Bolton in September 2019.\n\n\nThe former national security adviser discussed the notes extensively with his wife and daughter, as if they were editors, according to the indictment.\n\n\nThen Bolton’s email account was hacked by Iranians. In 2021, his assistant reported it to the FBI, saying the hacker was threatening to expose sensitive government information, according to court filings.\n\n\n“Good luck Mr. Mustache!” one message said, according to a person who described investigative documents.\n\n\nThe FBI and national security lawyers in Maryland and Justice Department headquarters formally opened an investigation in 2022 during the Biden administration.\n\n\nInvestigators soon discovered the diary-like entries he was sending himself — essentially his own notes on secret information he was learning during his time in the Trump White House, according to the indictment.\n\n\nThe case moved forward substantially last summer when investigators searched both his home in Maryland and his office in Washington, DC.\n\n\nBut not all of what they found played into the criminal allegations.\n\n\nFor instance, investigators recovered several documents from Bolton’s office that they believed could be classified or confidential. Those included plans and memos related to the US mission to the United Nations and diplomatic security during the 2000-2001 presidential transition, and records with headings that indicated they were about weapons of mass destruction. Bolton was in the State Department and was UN ambassador during the Bush administration.\n\n\nThe years-old records never became part of the case that Bolton faced.\n\n\nAnother part of the investigation into Bolton hinged on how he published his memoir of his time in the Trump White House, after a comprehensive review process where the Trump administration hadn’t given him the final approval to publish.\n\n\nUltimately, no classified information was included in the book.\n\n\n“Bolton acquitted himself honorably and legally in the pre-publication review process,” Michael Bromwich, the attorney for Bolton’s pre-publication reviewer Ellen Knight, told CNN this week. “It was the way he handled classified information outside that process … that he will admit to.  It was sloppy and illegal but not sinister.”\n\n\nThis story was updated with details from the plea hearing Friday. \n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Inflammation prevents broken bones from knitting themselves back together correctly so that they look like gnarled wood. Old and new traumas compound to create new, mysterious sources of pain. Cells divide lethargically, which slows the closing of cuts and healing of bruises. Some cells even grow senescent, forgetting how to replicate at all.\n\n\nJohnny Knoxville’s body knows those lessons all too well. The 55-year old “Jackass” ringmaster does a lot fewer stunts that he used to. In the 2022 film “Jackass Forever,” he gets hooked and tossed by an enraged bull, going heels over his now-silver head. He suffered a concussion and a brain hemorrhage, leading doctors to bar him from stepping into the arena with enraged bovines. There are no bulls in “Jackass: Best and Last,” a film being billed as the final installment of a three-decade project to see how badly a group of friends can get themselves injured while having fun and not dying.\n\n\nIt all started nearly 30 years ago, when a teenager named Bam Margera and his crew of friends in suburban southeast Pennsylvania started putting out a series of homespun skateboarder VHS tapes called “CKY,” which mixed footage of kickflips over trash cans with stunts like jumping off a two-story building into a dumpster. In the abridged version of the story, Knoxville, the director Spike Jonze and Jeff Tremaine, editor of the iconoclastic skateboard magazine “Big Brother,” saw the videos and recognized the potential entertainment value in pain. They met with Margera, shot some demo footage and sold the concept to MTV.\n\n\nThe TV show that resulted, “Jackass,” only ran from 2000 to 2002, but gave the world a cast of characters that are part pro wrestling roster and part reality TV. Along with Knoxville and Margera, there’s Steve-O — born Stephen Glover — a professionally trained circus clown who takes on the most harrowing stunts, like trying to tightrope-walk across an alligator pit. Chris Pontius specializes in getting half naked, if not more, assuming the persona of “Party Boy” to wear tearaway tracksuits with only a thong and bowtie underneath. Jason “Wee Man” Acuña, a professional skateboarder with dwarfism, and Preston Lacy, a heavily built comic, team up to highlight their difference in size: on a tandem bungee jump in Miami, Acuña goes first and Lacy doesn’t budge; Lacy then leaps and Acuña is snapped back into the water as if launched from a slingshot.\n\n\nFor a generation of people — mostly and specifically, adolescent boys — the brief, anarchic televised run of “Jackass” landed with the exhilarating force of a shopping cart ramming into a hedge, if not the life-changing power of puberty itself. In my own middle school, where I’d landed back in the United States after a decade of moving around, “Jackass” offered a break from my new-kid efforts to fit into the hierarchies of taste (Limp Bizkit, yes; Tom Petty, no). Everyone loved it, without pretense, staying up late to watch it and then plotting our own stunts the next day.\n\n\nSome of the young people watching “Jackass” then are now throwing their own bodies around in the Jackass troupe. Odd Future co-founder Jasper Dolphin and comedian Rachel Wolfson have been dragooned into the crew to keep the franchise going. In “Best and Last,” Dolphin and Knoxville dress up in suits and ties and get locked in an office with a bighorn sheep, which seems to take particular umbrage with Dolphin. He gets rammed over and over again, to the point he wonders aloud if the ram is racist.\n\n\n“I usually don’t ask too many questions,” Dolphin said. “So when I would get to the set it would always be, ‘Oh, I wonder what’s gonna happen today.’”\n\n\nDolphin, who debuted as a “Jackass” player in 2022’s “Jackass Forever,” said that he was a little nervous when he first started filming, but the feeling quickly dissipated. “Once we started rolling, it was a lot of fun,” he said.\n\n\n‘Live-action Tom and Jerry’\n\n\n\nPrank shows are almost as old as network television. “Candid Camera” debuted on ABC in 1948; one of the first gags featured a hidden microphone in a corner mailbox that asked people if they had paid for enough postage. The show ran off and on for nearly 70 years, but kept the jokes rated PG to satisfy network censors and mass audiences. “Jackass,” running on cable, could feature someone getting upended inside a full portable toilet or going snorkeling at a sewage treatment plant.\n\n\n“Jackass: The Movie” came out in 2002 and was a minor hit, grossing nearly $80 million globally. The movie-sized production budget only changed the scale of the stunts: the opening credits sequence features the whole crew riding in a supersized shopping cart as cannons fire rubble at them, before they eventually crash into a vendor stand.\n\n\nThe cartoony aspect was deliberate. Jonze, who worked on all five official Jackass films as well as others under the “Jackass Presents” rubric, told The Guardian that they wanted to create a “live-action Tom and Jerry.”\n\n\nThe movies kept coming, as did spinoffs featuring different cast members, including the heartwarming and disturbing “Wildboyz,” in which Pontius and Steve-O ventured out into nature to find new ways to harm or terrify themselves. Both of them are animal lovers and conservationists — Steve-O runs the Radical Ranch, an animal sanctuary in Tennessee. Watching them nervously giggle as they walk around a Kenyan game preserve looking for venomous snakes provides a slightly different thrill than watching them get hit in the groin with a baseball.\n\n\nThe crude antics fed a fanbase that extended to the heights of cinema. On Steve-O’s podcast, John C. Reilly said that he’s been a “massive fan” since the beginning, and that he introduced his friend Paul Thomas Anderson to the show. The shock-comedy auteur John Waters compared the pranks to his own most notorious masterpiece: “‘Jackass’ is the closest movie to ‘Pink Flamingos’ ever made.”\n\n\nLike the stunts themselves, sitting in a theater for “Jackass” is a communal experience. “Watching your friends and people you don’t know all screaming and cry and laugh at the same thing makes it special,” Dolphin said.\n\n\nAlmost 25 years after the first “Jackass” movie, “Best and Last” is a swan song for the original cast who are finally hanging up their rocket skates and tasers in exchange for a hopefully less painful life. The film introduces a few new stunts, including a hellish escape room and a particular vile game of Twister, but is more like a greatest-hits album with interstitial on-set commentary from Knoxville, Pontius and Steve-O.\n\n\nSome of the scenes will be familiar to dedicated fans, including when Margera gets slapped with a tire-sized artificial hand loaded with bags of flour or when Knoxville and Steve-O harass golfers with air horns. But there are a few never-before-seen gems from the vault, including the exceptionally dangerous stunt that served as the creative starting gun for the entire franchise.\n\n\nThe Harvard anthropologist Elaine Scarry wrote in her widely celebrated 1985 book “The Body in Pain” that “physical pain always mimes death and the infliction of physical pain is always a mock execution.” Scarry was writing specifically about the malicious infliction of pain on others, such as how torture is intended to destroy a victim’s sense of reality. (When asked if she had ever seen “Jackass,” Scarry said I was “the first person to alert me to its existence.”)\n\n\nThe driving force in “Jackass,” though, is friendship rather than malice. The cast members have a clear affection for one another and with that bond they represent an increasingly rare species: a set of men that share deep friendships.\n\n\n“It’s natural. You do dumb stuff with your friends and you laugh about it,” Dolphin said. “Something as simple as pushing your friend into a bush. Like it’s not that crazy, but you’re gonna laugh and have a great time doing it.”\n\n\nDana Vessel, a sports radio host in Minneapolis, remembers how immediately appealing the cast’s physical camaraderie was when he started watching the show in middle school in the early 2000s. “It was just guys being dudes, and there was this universally appealing aspect of it where we felt a part of something simply by watching,” he said. “You got the feeling that these guys would have been doing this even if there weren’t cameras around.”\n\n\n“I found that so attractive,” said Alex Sciarra, a filmmaker based in Los Angeles who has been watching “Jackass” since she was a teenager. Sciarra said that Knoxville and the rest reminded her of the boys in the skatepark she and her friends would flirt with after school. She was among a handful of women I talked to about their “Jackass” fandom who all said there was something magnetic about a group of young men who were confident in their goofiness and cared about one another.\n\n\n“There was nothing performative about their relationships, they were just hanging out and having fun,” Sciarra said.\n\n\n“You see them getting hurt, but they’re also having the best time ever and I think that’s a huge part of the appeal,” said Casey Tebo, 51. He pointed towards the franchise’s many guest stars, including Brad Pitt who was mock abducted in the second movie. “Everyone wanted to be a part of it because it was such a fun collective thing to do,” Tebo said.\n\n\n‘There’s just no humanity left on the prankster side’\n\n\n\n“Jackass” opened the door for a new generation of cable network prank shows like “Punk’d” and “Impractical Jokers.” But the shows that followed seemed more interested in doing things to people, whereas the pranks on “Jackass” were a two-way street.\n\n\nYouTube provided another turn of the screw for the genre, and prankstreamers became some of the platform’s biggest stars. Personalities like the Nelk Boys and Logan and Jake Paul initially gained popularity because of their ever-more-edgy gags, which often make civilians — “marks” in the prankster vernacular — the butt of the joke. The main goal for this new generation was to go viral at all costs.\n\n\n“In ‘Jackass’ the joke is always on us and now with these streamers the point is to be mean to people,” Wolfson said.\n\n\nWolfson pointed to a recent TikTok video that captured Pontius standing by the roadside in the aftermath of a car wreck. An internet video maker filmed himself walking past Pontius’ mangled car to confront the more famous prankster, repeating “You know you’re not allowed to park here” in intentionally witless tones, to Pontius’ rising irritation. One of the video’s hashtags is #ragebaiter; Wolfson said that Pontius’ wife and their child were in the car at the time.\n\n\n“Everyone has a base amount of empathy, and you can tell that these guys who go out to irritate random people are just annoying, not funny,” said Boone Tebo, Casey’s 16-year-old son. He first started watching “Jackass” with his father, and soon Boone and his friends were exchanging favorite clips.\n\n\n“It just makes you want to go spend time with your friends and make memories with them even if it involves doing dumb shit,” he said. (Yes, Boone and his friends have tried to recreate some of the stunts.)\n\n\nCasey Tebo, who is closer in age to Knoxville, said that he recognized “Jackass” as a specifically Gen X cultural product. “We were all unsupervised. Our parents told us to get out of the house and we’d have to entertain ourselves,” he said. When he introduced Boone to the show, the magnetism was obvious and immediate. “There’s something so endearing about having your crew around you,” he said. “One of the most endearing things for teenage boys in ‘Jackass’ is how much they laugh with one another.”\n\n\nThere are some notable absences in “Best and Last.” Margera and Knoxville had a public falling out after Margera was kicked off the set of “Jackass Forever” for violating a sobriety agreement. Margera has struggled with substance addiction for many years, and Knoxville said that the agreement was a gesture of love for his longtime friend. “I know that a lot has happened. I just want him to get well for himself and his family. I love the guy, and I want him to get well and stay well,” Knoxville said in 2022. Ryan Dunn, part of the original “CKY” crew and a fan favorite, died in a drunk driving accident in 2011. Several of his stunts are included in “Best and Last,” and they serve as a visual elegy for a lost friend.\n\n\nThe “Jackass” crew was never scrupulous about avoiding cruelty. The running gag of Margera harassing his dad, including beating the hell out of him while he’s in the bathroom, struck even the adolescent version of me as both malicious and uncreative. There’s a similar tension in a montage from the first film where they cause mayhem by running through Tokyo in panda costumes and slamming each other into storefront displays and street vendors. But the balance of the scene is them joking around with locals in a way that at least feels consensual. When they stumble across a group of shirtless men doing some sort of coordinated exercise routine, they all join in, locals and visitors all clearly having a blast.\n\n\nEven the worst aspects of that scene hold up against the YouTuber Logan Paul’s tour of Japan in 2017, which included Paul and his team hostilely pressing pedestrians to eat raw fish and octopus, and bottomed out with them giggling over an encounter with a dead body on a visit to Aokigahara forest, an area at the base of Mount Fuji that has been the site of many deaths by suicide. Paul apologized after an international outcry and YouTube’s decision to remove him from a preferred advertising program; eventually, he moved away from prank humor into shock-jock political commentary.\n\n\n“It’s all for them, it’s not for the audience. It’s all about clicks and baiting people into reactions,” Wolfson said. “There’s just no humanity left on the prankster side.”\n\n\nAt the beginning of “Best and Last,” Knoxville and Pontius arrive at the studio lot for what is their final day of shooting “Jackass.” A producer asks Knoxville how he’s feeling. “Sad,” he says. Knoxville is at the end of a near 30-year run of being paid to hang out with his friends. The main cast’s bodies are beat up and exhausted; Knoxville is banned from more physically demanding stunts because of his run-in with the bull in “Jackass Forever.” He settles for getting electrocuted a few times.\n\n\nAs the credits rolled over a series of outtakes and B-roll, I felt a pang of nostalgia for the wonderful stupidity of my own adolescence and the friends who defined it. The final clip features Knoxville and Tremaine sitting on a motel bed, debriefing after a particularly dangerous stunt. The footage is grainy, and both the men look decades younger.\n\n\n“That’s exactly what I didn’t want,” Tremaine says, worried about his friend and collaborator’s well-being.\n\n\nKnoxville, exhausted, smiles like a kid getting away with something: “No, but it’s exactly what I wanted.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

It would eventually help win his freedom.\n\n\nAfter being prosecuted at the age of 20, Powell, now 41, was released after a judge overturned his sentence of life plus five years on murder charges in the death of his best friend, Shah Walton – charges that prosecutors later agreed were unfounded.\n\n\n“After reviewing the entire case, the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office Conviction Integrity Unit determined there was not enough evidence to stand by Powell’s conviction,” the DA’s office said in a filing with a court in Atlanta, as all charges against Powell were dismissed on June 18.\n\n\nPowell’s first taste of freedom came after years of appeals and denials, a grueling climb that turned when prosecutors took a fresh look and concluded they had made a grave mistake.\n\n\n“That was definitely the first time where a prosecutor has brought us a case,” attorney Christina Cribbs with the Georgia Innocence Project told CNN.\n\n\nPowell convicted of murdering friend he had known since middle school\n\n\n\nFor Marquez Powell, everything changed on April 18, 2005. He met up with Walton in Atlanta to drive around for the evening, according to testimony, visiting a girl’s house, stopping by a music store and selling marijuana.\n\n\nWhen his friend Shah pulled up, another person was already in the passenger seat – a man he said he knew from their neighborhood named Jacques Shockley. While Powell was outside the car making a drug sale, Shockley pulled out a gun and shot Walton, who was still sitting in the driver’s seat.\n\n\nPolice discovered one of Shockley’s pants pockets had been pulled inside-out after the shooting, leading them to believe he had been robbed.\n\n\n“Fearful of retaliation – or being charged himself if he came forward about what he saw – Powell fled the scene,” his attorney wrote later in a court filing.\n\n\nWith the case still unsolved, Powell came forward to police a month later, but tried to minimize his connection, initially saying he wasn’t even in the car. Later he admitted to being at the scene of the crime, saying he had only witnessed it and hid in the bushes until he saw Shockley run away.\n\n\nWith thin evidence, jury is told Powell conspired to kill his friend\n\n\n\nBy that point, Shockley had fled the state, testimony later showed. Although the lead investigator did not believe he had pulled the trigger, prosecutors later said, Powell was arrested on multiple charges, including murder, on the assumption he had conspired with Shockley to rob his best friend, making him a “party to the crimes.”\n\n\n“One reasonably might infer from the evidence that Powell and Shockley shared a criminal intent with respect to the shooting,” the Georgia Supreme Court said in a unanimous ruling affirming Powell’s conviction in 2012.\n\n\nPolice later caught up to Shockley at his father’s home in New Jersey, and he was arrested and convicted of murder. By that point, Powell had already been convicted and sentenced to spend the rest of his life behind bars.\n\n\nShockley is serving a life sentence of his own at Hays State Prison, a high-security facility in rural northwest Georgia.\n\n\nPowell, who was indigent and could not afford an attorney, wrote his own motions to the court six times in the ensuing years, trying multiple routes to overturn his conviction or at least reduce his prison time. All of them were denied, with judges saying they could not reconsider the case without any new evidence to consider.\n\n\n“Marquez really was his own best advocate,” Cribbs said. “He has been out there since he was convicted, trying to get someone to listen and understand that he was innocent and never should have been convicted.”\n\n\nThe state Supreme Court even stated that the prosecutor in the case made a “highly improper” statement in front of the jury when she said, “We don’t bring (a case) to indictment if we think the person is innocent, if there is not enough evidence.” But the high court said there was nothing for the judge to do about it at trial because Powell’s attorney didn’t object at the time.\n\n\nNormally, a definitive ruling at the state’s highest court would be a dead end for a case like Powell’s, but his insistence that he was innocent got a second look from an unlikely corner of the justice system.\n\n\nProsecutors reconsider their own case\n\n\n\nAfter it seemed he had run out of options in the court, Powell tried a new strategy that seemed to be the longest of long shots – writing a letter to prosecutors asking them to reconsider their own case.\n\n\nIn 2019, the district attorney’s office of Fulton County, Georgia, opened one of an increasing number of Conviction Integrity Units – known as CIUs – divisions that look into claims of false convictions. After falling on deaf ears in the courts, Powell’s pleas got notice from the same office that put him in prison.\n\n\n“Mr. Powell wrote us years ago,” said Aimee Maxwell, the deputy district attorney in charge of Fulton County’s CIU. “The first part of our investigation was really trying to figure out why we pursued Mr. Powell because it was very clear from reading (the case file) he is the person who told the police what happened.”\n\n\nThe DA’s office decided to use DNA evidence, which was not part of Powell’s trial, to test a key assumption of the case – that Powell had joined Shockley in emptying one of Walton’s pockets shortly after he was shot.\n\n\nSamples from the pockets of Walton’s jeans were tested and the results showed the one that was turned inside likely had been touched by Shockley, but not by Powell.\n\n\nWith another link to Powell gone in an already circumstantial case, the DA’s office called the Georgia Innocence Project, asking them to represent him in his effort to finally be released.\n\n\n“Powell was not part of any plan and had no knowledge that Shockley was going to rob or shoot Walton,” Cribbs, his new attorney, wrote in a new motion filed in May, cosigned by the DA’s office.\n\n\n“If the jury had heard about the DNA results, in conjunction with Powell’s undisputed testimony that Shockley shot and killed Walton, it is reasonably probable that, at a minimum, at least one juror would have found reasonable doubt and determined that Powell was not guilty,” the motion stated.\n\n\nThe prosecutor’s office, taking a fresh look at the murder, learned the lead investigator shared those doubts.\n\n\n“He repeatedly told us he was shocked when Mr. Powell was indicted in this case,” said Aimee Maxwell, head of the district attorney’s Conviction Integrity Unit.\n\n\nAs Maxwell’s unit took another look, she said their first concern was trying to figure out why a relatively weak case against Powell had been pursued at all.\n\n\n“It was an odd thing for our office to do,” Maxwell said candidly. “A lot of our investigation was trying to figure out what our office’s thought process was. Did we know anything that wasn’t reflected in the record? And the truth is, there was nothing.”\n\n\nA judge’s pen ends two decades of injustice\n\n\n\nOne of the hardest things for prisoners trying to prove their freedom is the constant cycle of raised and dashed hopes, Powell’s attorney said.\n\n\n“I call it the roller coaster,” said Cribbs, “and people stop getting on the roller coaster because they can’t get their hopes up.”\n\n\nPowell’s years of persistence finally paid off in a 35-minute court hearing last week.\n\n\nWatching the hearing via Zoom from a prison holding room, Powell wiped his eyes and sighed heavily as Cribbs once again recited the facts of the case before Judge Rachelle Carnesale, explaining when Walton was fatally shot.\n\n\n“It was when Mr. Powell was out of the vehicle, which really does not support the fact that this was a plan that they had hatched together and decided to do,” Cribbs told the judge.\n\n\nPowell became emotional again when the prosecutor said Walton’s sister – his only close surviving relative – fully supported the decision to set him free.\n\n\n“She actually said the words, ‘I am so excited,’” Maxwell said at the hearing. “The victim’s family is 100% behind him and 100% believe in him.”\n\n\nAs she agreed to sign the document freeing Powell and assuring he won’t be prosecuted again for the murder, Judge Carnesale added prosecutors’ willingness to reconsider their past work was refreshing.\n\n\n“I think that you all have done a lot of due diligence seeking justice,” she said. “I appreciate the state’s willingness to go back and look at old convictions.”\n\n\nPowell silently watched most of the hearing, speaking only at the end to quietly say, “Thank you,” as the judge congratulated him on his freedom.\n\n\nAs he left prison behind him, Powell celebrated with family – including a niece and nephew he had never met – as well as several other former prisoners who were exonerated with the help of the Georgia Innocence Project.\n\n\nThe wrongful conviction came at the price of Powell’s freedom and overturning that conviction may now have its own price for the state. Under a law passed in Georgia last year called the Wrongful Conviction and Incarceration Compensation Act, a person whose conviction is later vacated can be awarded $75,000 for every year of incarceration. That means Powell could be entitled to more than $1.5 million as compensation for the time he spent in prison.\n\n\nWhile his attorney says Powell hasn’t applied for that compensation yet, she is certain he qualifies.\n\n\n“We will be helping him look into what his options are and what makes the most sense for him,” said Cribbs.\n\n\nWith only a week of freedom under his belt, Cribbs said Powell is declining interviews for now, reentering the world with some trepidation. Ironically, Cribbs believes his concern is a good sign.\n\n\n“I think that’s really positive. He knows it’s going to be hard work and knows it’s going to be difficult to transition, and he’s just kind of taking it day by day,” she said. “We’ve got a whole big group of folks that are behind him.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Sin embargo, este tránsito podría disminuir debido a la suspensión de un plan de evacuación crucial.\n\n\nEl miércoles, setenta embarcaciones navegaron por esta vía marítima crucial, la cifra más alta desde que comenzó la guerra con Irán a finales de febrero, según Marine Traffic. Esto representa un aumento del 105 %, casi el doble, con respecto al martes.\n\n\nEl aumento del tráfico marítimo se produce después de que Estados Unidos levantara las sanciones al petróleo iraní a principios de esta semana, como parte del acuerdo de alto el fuego entre ambos países.\n\n\nLas Naciones Unidas y la Organización Marítima Internacional (OMI) también pusieron en marcha una operación humanitaria para evacuar a 11.000 marineros y 500 embarcaciones que se encontraban varados en el estrecho.\n\n\n“Lo que estamos viendo es que los barcos que estuvieron parados en el Golfo durante este largo período de tiempo comienzan a zarpar, centrándose en la ayuda humanitaria para evacuar a los marineros, y luego un par de buques cisterna seleccionados cuando se levantaron las sanciones”, declaró Gene Seroka, director ejecutivo del Puerto de Los Ángeles, quien trabajó durante cinco años para una importante naviera en Medio Oriente.\n\n\n“Así que no se trata simplemente de una bandera verde en toda regla, de que todo el mundo empiece a transitar por el estrecho”, indicó.\n\n\nAntes de la guerra, los expertos estiman que entre 110 y 160 embarcaciones solían navegar diariamente por el paso entre Irán y Omán. Desde que los combates bloquearon el estrecho, un promedio de menos de diez embarcaciones por día transitan por este paso de 21 millas.\n\n\nEl tráfico marítimo comenzó a repuntar durante el fin de semana, a medida que las navieras ganaban confianza en el progreso de las conversaciones entre Estados Unidos e Irán.\n\n\nEl miércoles, la OMI, junto con Irán y Omán, creó dos nuevas rutas marítimas: una en la parte norte del estrecho, cerca de Irán, y otra en la parte sur, más cerca de Omán, libres de minas y otros peligros.\n\n\nLos buques fueron contactados directamente por las agencias pertinentes cuando les llegó el turno de navegar.\n\n\nLa idea era desviar el tráfico marítimo de la región gradualmente y bajo estrictos controles. Sin embargo, la OMI suspendió sus planes de evacuación el jueves después de que un buque fuera alcanzado en el Golfo de Omán.\n\n\nUn funcionario estadounidense declaró a CNN que el barco fue impactado por un ataque con dron iraní, pero no proporcionó más detalles. Irán no se ha atribuido la responsabilidad.\n\n\nEl secretario general de la OMI, Arsenio Domínguez, declaró que tomó esa precaución a pesar de que el buque atacado “no transitaba bajo el marco de evacuación de la OMI”.\n\n\nDurante meses, las navieras han mantenido una actitud de cautela, calculando cuidadosamente el riesgo de que sus buques transiten por el estrecho. Hasta la fecha, se han registrado al menos 46 colisiones con barcos y 14 muertes, según la OMI.\n\n\nLas empresas se han mostrado reacias a transportar carga y personal a través de aguas minadas ante la amenaza de ataques con misiles. Las aseguradoras han cancelado la cobertura de los buques debido a las cláusulas de guerra.\n\n\nVarias navieras importantes, como Hapag-Lloyd, han utilizado guías navales estadounidenses para transitar por el estrecho, pero esta práctica no ha sido constante.\n\n\n“Los barcos que transitan por el estrecho de Ormuz esta semana siguen siendo en su mayoría de bandera iraní y algunos de la compañía taiwanesa Evergreen. Las principales navieras mundiales aún no han regresado, por lo que se trata más de mantener el statu quo que de un cambio real”, declaró Sanne Manders, presidenta de Flexport, una empresa global de logística marítima.\n\n\nManders y Seroka prevén que los niveles de tráfico disminuyan en los próximos días durante la pausa en las labores de evacuación de la OMI.\n\n\nLa OMI planea “reconfirmar que las garantías de seguridad necesarias siguen vigentes para los buques incluidos en nuestra lista de evacuación y para todos los que se encuentran en la región”, indicó Domínguez.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

But that has slowed down Friday as a critical evacuation plan is put on hold.\n\n\nSeventy-three vessels transited the critical waterway on Wednesday, the highest number since shortly after the war with Iran began in late February, according to MarineTraffic. That’s more than double the traffic from Tuesday.\n\n\nThe spike in traffic comes after the United States lifted sanctions on Iranian oil earlier this week, part of the ceasefire agreement between the two countries. The United Nations and the International Maritime Organization, or IMO, also launched a humanitarian effort to get 11,000 stranded seafarers and 500 vessels out of the strait.\n\n\n“What we’re seeing are the ships that were sitting in the Gulf for this elongated period of time starting to move out with a focus on humanitarian aid to get the seafarers out and then a couple of chosen tankers when sanctions were lifted,” said Gene Seroka, executive director of the Port of Los Angeles, who spent half a decade working for a major shipping line the Middle East. “So this is not just a full-fledged green flag, everybody start running through the strait.”\n\n\nBefore the war, experts estimate 110 to 160 vessels used to sail through the passage between Iran and Oman daily. Since the fighting choked off the strait, an average of fewer than ten vessels per day have transited the 21-mile passageway.\n\n\nShip traffic first started to pick up over the weekend as shipping companies became more confident that talks between the US and Iran were progressing. Then on Wednesday, the IMO along with Iran and Oman created two new shipping lanes – one along the northern part of the strait near Iran, and a second in the southern part of the strait, closer to Oman – that were safe from mines and other dangers. Ships were contacted by the (relevant) agencies directly when it was their turn to move.\n\n\nThe idea was to move vessel traffic out of the region gradually and under tight controls. However, the IMO paused its evacuation plans Thursday after a vessel was struck in the Gulf of Oman. A US official told CNN the ship was hit in an Iranian drone attack but did not provide further details. Iran has not claimed responsibility.\n\n\nShip traffic fell roughly in half Friday after Iran warned that ships should not be passing the strait along the Omanian coast and safe passage would be given to ships only via routes declared to Iran. That raised concern of future attacks as ships try to exit or enter the strait close to Oman.\n\n\nIMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez said in a statement he took the precaution of pausing the program even though the vessel that was attacked “did not transit under IMO’s evacuation framework.”\n\n\nFor months, shipping companies have been in wait and see mode, carefully calculating the risk of moving ships through the strait. To date, there have been at least 46 strikes on vessels and 14 deaths, according to the IMO.\n\n\nCompanies have been hesitant to move cargo and personnel through mine-laden waters under threat of missile strikes. Insurers have dropped coverage on ships because of wartime clauses. Several major shipping companies, like Hapag-Lloyd, have used US naval guides to move through the strait – but that offer has not been consistent.\n\n\n“The ships actually transiting Hormuz this week are still mostly Iranian-flagged and some (Taiwanese) Evergreen ships.

Y la lista continúa.\n\n\nPara calcular el papel que desempeñó el cambio climático en estos extremos, los científicos de WWA utilizaron datos reales y previsiones para analizar los tres días y noches más calurosos de esta ola de calor en una gran parte de Europa, comparando la probabilidad de que se produjeran eventos similares durante las grandes olas de calor de 1976 y 2003, cuando la Tierra era más fría.\n\n\nLos expertos descubrieron que tanto las temperaturas máximas diurnas como las nocturnas durante este período habrían sido “prácticamente imposibles” hace 50 años, en 1976, cuando se establecieron algunos de los récords de calor europeos anteriores.\n\n\nSegún los científicos, el mundo se ha calentado casi 2 grados Fahrenheit (1,1 grados Celsius) en los últimos 50 años, lo que ha aumentado enormemente las probabilidades de que se produzcan olas de calor extremas.\n\n\nDe acuerdo con el estudio, una ola de calor similar ocurrida en junio de 1976 habría supuesto una sorprendente disminución de 6,3 grados Fahrenheit (3,5 grados Celsius), aunque el estudio utilizó métodos revisados ​​por pares.\n\n\nLos científicos también analizaron las temperaturas nocturnas, que también han alcanzado niveles récord: Francia sufrió la noche más calurosa jamás registrada entre el miércoles y el jueves.\n\n\nEl calor nocturno es particularmente peligroso porque no le da al cuerpo tiempo para recuperarse.\n\n\nSegún el informe, hoy en día es aproximadamente 100 veces más probable que se produzca en Europa una ola de calor sofocante que en 2003, año en que se experimentó una importante ola de calor europea que causó la muerte de más de 70.000 personas.\n\n\nLos científicos de la WWA también analizaron los efectos de la alta humedad provocada por la ola de calor.\n\n\nExaminaron 854 ciudades de 30 países europeos afectados por el calor y descubrieron que el 45 % de ellas habían batido o estaban a punto de batir sus récords históricos de temperatura de bulbo húmedo y globo.\n\n\nLa temperatura de bulbo húmedo y globo considera los efectos combinados de la temperatura, la humedad, el sol y el viento, y es una medida del estrés térmico y de la capacidad del cuerpo para enfriarse.\n\n\nCuanto mayor sea, más difícil le resultará al cuerpo recurrir a sus mecanismos de enfriamiento, especialmente la sudoración, lo que aumenta las probabilidades de sufrir agotamiento por calor o incluso un golpe de calor, que puede ser mortal.\n\n\n“Este verano demuestra que, con un calentamiento global de 1,4 grados Celsius, el calor extremo ya está alcanzando los límites de la capacidad de nuestras sociedades para hacerle frente”, escribieron los científicos.\n\n\nLa ola de calor en Europa se ha vuelto mortal rápidamente. Si bien la verdadera magnitud de los fallecimientos no se conocerá hasta dentro de un tiempo, varios países ya han reportado cientos de decesos relacionados con el calor.\n\n\nEn España, más de 200 personas han fallecido a causa de la ola de calor en tan solo cuatro días, según estimaciones del sistema de seguimiento de la mortalidad del país, publicadas el jueves.\n\n\nY en Francia, al menos 48 personas se habrían ahogado la semana pasada al intentar refrescarse del calor.\n\n\nLa ola de calor también obligó al cierre de miles de escuelas, interrumpió los servicios ferroviarios, provocó cortes de electricidad y el cierre de atracciones turísticas.\n\n\nEuropa es el continente que se calienta más rápidamente en el planeta, y se prevé que este tipo de olas de calor extremas se vuelvan aún más severas, frecuentes y prolongadas a menos que los seres humanos eliminen rápidamente los combustibles fósiles, apuntaron los científicos.\n\n\n“Ahora se trata de qué tipo de futuro queremos para nosotros mismos y si estamos dispuestos a hacer lo que sea necesario para asegurarlo”, sostuvo Friederike Otto, profesora de ciencias climáticas en el Imperial College de Londres.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Pero la empresa se negó.\n\n\nEspecíficamente, se negó a cumplir dos requisitos: el Gobierno de Trump quería que estuviera listo para el 4 de julio, y el fondo de la piscina debía ser azul, según dos empleados de la empresa Sika Corporation con sede en Nueva Jersey, que proporcionaron los productos de construcción de concreto y sellado para un proyecto de renovación de 2010 en el estanque reflectante.\n\n\nSegún los dos empleados, quienes hablaron con CNN bajo condición de anonimato, ambas demandas hicieron que el trabajo fuera “inviable”.\n\n\nFinalmente, se eligió a Rhino Linings —empresa conocida sobre todo por sus revestimientos para cajas de camionetas, aunque en su página web también indica que sus productos pueden utilizarse en instalaciones acuáticas— para suministrar los materiales necesarios para la última renovación del estanque reflectante.\n\n\nAhora, menos de un mes después de su aplicación, el material del fondo del Reflecting Pool parece estar descascarándose, causando una gran controversia en Washington.\n\n\nEl presidente Donald Trump culpa a los vándalos de extrema izquierda y los contratistas prometen arreglar lo que dicen son áreas problemáticas aisladas.\n\n\nMientras tanto, las algas han teñido el agua con varios tonos de verde a pesar de que la renovación se suponía que limpiaría ese problema.\n\n\nTrump sostiene que la renovación ha sido un éxito, pero el proyecto enfrenta un fuerte escrutinio.\n\n\nInicialmente se estimaba que costaría US$ 1,8 millones, pero el costo ahora asciende a US$ 14,7 millones, según un resumen del contrato del Departamento del Interior otorgado a la empresa con sede en Virginia, Atlantic Industrial Coatings.\n\n\nDada la experiencia previa de Sika con el estanque, la decisión de la compañía de rechazar el contrato, que no se había informado previamente, podría avivar aún más las críticas crecientes de que el proyecto fue apresurado y posiblemente se completó de manera indebida.\n\n\nEl congresista Robert Garcia, el máximo representante demócrata en la Comisión de Supervisión de la Cámara, envió cartas el miércoles a los contratistas a cargo de la renovación, solicitando información como contratos y registros de calidad del agua.\n\n\n“La desastrosa renovación de nuestro Estanque Reflectante nacional por Donald Trump es su último proyecto de vanidad fallido”, denunció García en un comunicado. “El presidente debería estar enfocado en hacer que la vida sea más asequible para el pueblo estadounidense, no recompensar a sus leales con contratos gubernamentales y derrochar el dinero de los contribuyentes en proyectos fallidos. Estamos exigiendo respuestas directamente de los contratistas sobre los fracasos del proyecto”.\n\n\nSika Corp. no respondió a la solicitud de comentarios de CNN.\n\n\nLa controversia en torno al estanque ha dado origen a teorías sobre lo que salió mal tanto por parte del presidente como de los internautas.\n\n\nEl viernes pasado, Trump repitió afirmaciones que surgieron en círculos de derecha de que los problemas más amplios del estanque son el resultado de vandalismo. Trump ha insinuado en varias acusaciones, a menudo sin evidencia, incluyendo que hay un corte de cientos de metros de largo en el estanque.\n\n\nEl miércoles por la noche, el Departamento de Justicia dijo en un documento judicial que el calafateo sobre el sellador de espuma del estanque fue cortado con un “cuchillo afilado o navaja” y que las partes superiores de aproximadamente 70 postes de cerca fueron arrojadas al agua.\n\n\nEl documento es parte de una demanda presentada por la Fundación del Paisaje Cultural sin fines de lucro que sostiene que los funcionarios pasaron por alto pasos regulatorios para completar la renovación.\n\n\nTuristas y residentes locales por igual se han dirigido al lugar en los últimos días para tomar fotos y videos de la proliferación de algas o de las tiras azules descascaradas. La policía arrestó al menos a seis personas por vandalismo y emitió citaciones federales a al menos otras siete.\n\n\nUna persona que fue arrestada por vandalismo, el tres veces olímpico de EE.UU. David Hearn, le dijo a CNN que solamente estaba tocando un trozo de material azul parcialmente desprendido de la reciente renovación.\n\n\nLos comentarios en internet también han especulado que el fondo del estanque pudo haberse visto afectado por la presencia de maquinaria pesada y camiones, así como por un comitiva presidencial que pasó por allí poco después de haberse aplicado el revestimiento.\n\n\nRavi Kurani, presidente de Standard Water Corp, una empresa de tecnología industrial, le dijo a CNN que nunca recomendaría conducir autos sobre la superficie de una piscina, especialmente cuando se están realizando renovaciones.\n\n\n“Es como si estuvieras colocando un piso en tu cocina y luego pasas un tractor muy pesado por encima de él, va a dañarlo un poco”, explicó.\n\n\nTim Auerhahn, experto en infraestructuras de piscinas y presidente de Aquatic Council, una firma consultora, dijo en un correo electrónico que no hay suficiente información para concluir definitivamente que el tráfico de vehículos causó daños, pero “es uno de varios factores que deben considerarse como parte de un análisis completo de fallas”.\n\n\nAuerhahn agregó que: “Es importante no enfocarse en una teoría única demasiado pronto”.\n\n\nTrump dijo esta semana que el memorial del estanque se drenará nuevamente para una “reparación permanente” alrededor del 4 de Julio.\n\n\nLa última vez que Sika trabajó en el estanque reflectante fue en 2012, cuando la administración del presidente Barack Obama gastó US$ 34 millones en una renovación de 18 meses de la piscina que pretendía abordar los problemas continuos con las floraciones de algas.\n\n\nSin embargo, poco después de que se completara esa renovación, el estanque volvió a convertirse en un desorden turbio y maloliente. Esa aparente falla para abordar adecuadamente los problemas del estanque se convirtió en munición política para Trump cuando ordenó su propia renovación.\n\n\nFue entonces cuando, a finales de marzo, Sika fue contactada por American Concrete Services para un proyecto rápido de superficie, en azul, según los dos empleados de Sika que hablaron con CNN. No está claro por qué el Departamento del Interior utilizó un contratista diferente, Atlantic Industrial Coatings.\n\n\nAmerican Concrete Services no respondió a una solicitud de comentarios para este informe.\n\n\nSika rechazó la propuesta después de una evaluación rutinaria de factibilidad y riesgos, dijeron los empleados. Uno de los especialistas de Sika asumió que era porque la solución de Sika era complicada y prolongada, y no se ajustaba al breve plazo del contratista de apenas unos meses.\n\n\nEl principal problema, dijo uno de los empleados de Sika, era el revestimiento sobre las juntas de expansión presentes en el estanque y las limitaciones en los materiales que se podían usar y sumergir en agua.\n\n\nEl estanque cuenta con unos 3 km de conexiones, que fueron reemplazadas recientemente como parte de las renovaciones, según el secretario del Departamento del Interior, Doug Burgum.\n\n\nLas juntas permiten que las grandes losas de concreto que conectan se flexionen con los cambios de temperatura.\n\n\nUna de las soluciones propuestas por Sika fue colocar metal sobre las juntas, y luego aplicar un revestimiento de color azul.\n\n\nSika advirtió al contratista que con el movimiento potencial —expansión y contracción natural— el metal podría hacerse visible, causando inconsistencias con el azul utilizado en otras partes del estanque, dijo el empleado.\n\n\nAntes de que comenzaran a notarse los desprendimientos, en una entrevista de este mes con Emily Miller, una periodista y exestratega de comunicaciones republicana, Eddie Wood, propietario de Atlantic Industrial Coatings, dijo que fue el Gobierno el que decidió utilizar un tipo de revestimiento similar al plástico llamado poliurea y contratar a Rhino Linings para suministrar esos materiales.\n\n\nLa empresa fue contratada previamente por ramas de las fuerzas armadas, proporcionando revestimientos para chalecos antibalas, helicópteros, tanques de combustible y camiones, según su sitio web.\n\n\nWood dijo anteriormente a CNN que estaba orgulloso de la participación de su empresa en el proyecto y dijo que no tenía nada que ver con el agua llena de algas. Cuando comenzó a desprenderse el material azul, dijo que abordaría cualquier problema que hubiera surgido.\n\n\nWood le dijo a CNN que no estaba disponible para responder preguntas sobre el proceso de renovación y el calendario esta semana.\n\n\nRhino Linings también ha sido nombrada en múltiples demandas.\n\n\nA fines de 2021, un jurado emitió un veredicto de US$ 2 millones contra Rhino, tras determinar que la empresa no capacitó correctamente ni evaluó a su instalador recomendado.\n\n\nEl jurado también determinó que Rhino no inspeccionó minuciosamente el techo terminado de un gran edificio comercial en Texas.\n\n\nSegún las acusaciones en la demanda, esas fallas resultaron en que el edificio sufriera más de 200 filtraciones y requirió la instalación de un nuevo techo de metal sobre los productos de Rhino Linings para evitar más daños.\n\n\nRhino Linings no respondió a la solicitud de comentarios de CNN.\n\n\nLos dos productos de Rhino Linings finalmente utilizados en el estanque fueron el Imprimador Rhino 406 y el Pipeliner 5000, según un anuncio de la empresa. El imprimador está compuesto por resina epoxi, y el revestimiento está hecho de una mezcla de resina e isocianato y poliurea.\n\n\nEl producto Pipeliner 5000 se utiliza típicamente para revestimientos en almacenamiento de agua, instalaciones de aguas residuales y tuberías (contenedores no expuestos regularmente a la luz solar). Algunas poliureas no son estables bajo la luz UV.\n\n\nEn cuanto al Imprimador Rhino 406, un empleado de Sika dijo que la resina epoxi, que es un recubrimiento popular para pisos de garaje, es rígida y no sería una buena solución para juntas flexibles como las que se encuentran en el estanque.\n\n\nEn un comunicado sobre el estanque en su sitio web, Rhino Linings dijo que “tiene conocimiento de informes sobre áreas localizadas de separación de la capa de acabado”.\n\n\n“Según la información proporcionada por el equipo del proyecto, la condición se limita a áreas aisladas de la capa de acabado y no afecta la membrana impermeabilizante subyacente”, agregó el comunicado. “Los interesados en el proyecto están al tanto de la condición y se han identificado acciones correctivas”.\n\n\nAl ser cuestionado sobre la explicación del empleado de Sika sobre por qué la empresa no consideró factible el trabajo en el estanque reflectante, Auerhahn, el experto en infraestructura del proyecto, dijo que era “una evaluación técnicamente razonable”.\n\n\n“Las grandes juntas de expansión son características desafiantes en instalaciones acuáticas, especialmente en grandes cuencas donde es probable que haya movimiento”, dijo Auerhahn.\n\n\n“Los sistemas epoxídicos funcionan bien en muchas instalaciones acuáticas, pero son relativamente rígidos y no se confía en ellos cuando se espera un movimiento significativo de las juntas. Utilizar una tapa de metal sobre esta junta no es una solución irrazonable y se ha utilizado en otras aplicaciones de ingeniería”, agregó.\n\n\nAuerhahn, quien advirtió que sus observaciones se basaban solo en información disponible públicamente, dijo que aunque no llegaría a concluir que el Pipeliner 5000 de Rhino fue definitivamente el producto incorrecto para la aplicación, la selección “plantea legítimas preguntas técnicas sobre la compatibilidad del sustrato, la exposición a la UV, el movimiento de la junta, la exposición química y la durabilidad a largo plazo en el entorno único del estanque”.\n\n\nAgregó que el uso de recubrimientos de poliurea en una gran cuenca de agua histórica es igualmente poco convencional.\n\n\n“No se ha comprobado bien en fuentes y piscinas, por lo que era una tecnología en gran medida no probada dadas las circunstancias”, afirmó Auerhahn.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Estados Unidos perdió una chance histórica de ganar por primera vez en su historia los tres partidos de la fase de grupos de un Mundial (lo que sí consiguió México el miércoles) y Turquía ganó un partido que apenas maquilla el fracaso estrepitoso de una selección europea que quedó eliminada con apenas dos partidos jugados y ni un solo gol a favor.\n\n\nMauricio Pochettino, con Estados Unidos ya clasificada desde la semana pasada a los 16avos de final y como primera del Grupo D, le dio descanso a muchos de sus titulares, y el equipo lo sintió.\n\n\nSin embargo, el equipo de las Barras y las Estrellas golpeó primero. Estados Unidos arrinconó a las Estrellas Crecientes y a los dos minutos ya había tenido dos tiros de esquina. En el tercero llegó la celebración en las tribunas.\n\n\nBerhalter cruzó al segundo palo de Ugurcan Cakir y, sin mucha oposición, el defensor del Celtic Auston Trusty resolvió con un remate potente de pierna zurda.\n\n\nOtra vez Estados Unidos encontraba la ventaja muy temprano, como ante Paraguay y Australia. El recuerdo de ambos partidos motivaba la ilusión de ver una goleada a una selección que parecía haber salido entregada al saberse eliminada. Sin embargo, el orgullo turco salió a relucir más tarde.\n\n\nLa alegría le duró poco al local, porque a los 10 minutos una triangulación entre Arda Güler, Oguz Aydin y Baris Yilmaz terminó con un remate del extremo del Real Madrid al fondo de la red.\n\n\nGüler, de 21 años, volvió a asumir la conducción del equipo al minuto 31, avanzó por la mitad, se asoció con Kenan Yildiz y luego apareció Orkun Kokcu para establecer la remontada y silenciar Los Ángeles.\n\n\nEl equipo del italiano Vincenzo Montella terminó el primer tiempo con un juego vertical que no se vio en las derrotas con Australia (2-0) y Paraguay (1-0), dos partidos en los que dominó el balón con demasiado toque intrascendente, a pesar de que generó situaciones para ganar ambos duelos.\n\n\nSin el goleador Folarin Balogun ni el conductor Christian Pulisic, Estados Unidos dio la sensación de ceder gran parte de sus argumentos ofensivos.\n\n\nEl segundo tiempo comenzó como el primero: voracidad ofensiva de los estadounidenses sobre el arco de Cakir y gol. Belhalter, el centrocampista británico nacionalizado estadounidense, aprovechó un pestañeo de la última línea turca en el minuto 49 y puso el 2-2.\n\n\nPochettino envió a la cancha a Pulisic, que desde el debut pasó jornadas entre algodones. Y si bien hizo notar su presencia, la fiesta se la llevó otro relevo: Kaan Ayhan, defensor de origen alemán, quien se encargó de sellar en el minuto 98 una victoria pirotécnica de Turquía por 3-2.\n\n\nEl jugador del Galatasaray había ingresado 10 minutos antes y, en la última jugada del partido jugado en Los Ángeles, aprovechó un desorden defensivo del equipo anfitrión para sellar lo que durante el resto del partido había sido un testimonio de buen fútbol de una formación que tarde recordó cómo ganar.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

La ciudad se ha vuelto “más peligrosa”, afirmó.\n\n\nEl gobierno regional de Crimea, instalado por Rusia, anunció el domingo que el combustible solo estaría disponible para los organismos gubernamentales, y no para los ciudadanos comunes ni para las empresas.\n\n\nLa residente de Sebastopol, que prefirió permanecer en el anonimato por motivos de seguridad, declaró a CNN que no había combustible en las gasolineras, pero que el transporte público seguía funcionando. Añadió que compró gasolina cuando aún la había, a un precio mucho más elevado que antes.\n\n\nCrimea ha sido un destino vacacional popular para rusos y ucranianos desde antes de la época soviética.\n\n\nDurante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la ciudad turística de Yalta fue sede del histórico encuentro entre el primer ministro británico Winston Churchill, el presidente Franklin Roosevelt y el líder soviético Joseph Stalin.\n\n\nDurante la guerra, Crimea también vivió un oscuro capítulo del dominio soviético: la deportación forzosa de la población tártara de Crimea por orden de Stalin.\n\n\nLa península fue un destino estrella durante la era comunista. Tras la independencia de Ucrania en 1991, los legendarios centros turísticos de Crimea perdieron popularidad, pero sus costas vírgenes y sus animadas fiestas playeras atrajeron a turistas internacionales.\n\n\nDesde la anexión en 2014, el presidente Vladimir Putin ha impulsado inversiones multimillonarias en Crimea, convirtiéndola en un destino turístico cada vez más desarrollado.\n\n\nSin embargo, esta iniciativa se encuentra ahora bajo presión, ya que Crimea sufre cortes de electricidad y escasez de combustible.\n\n\nEl jefe de Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov, designado por Rusia, también anunció esta semana que todos los campamentos infantiles quedarían suspendidos hasta el 1 de septiembre.\n\n\nVarios videos grabados en Simferopol, la segunda ciudad de Crimea, y publicados en internet muestran calles y espacios públicos desiertos. En uno de ellos, grabado alrededor de las 9 de la noche del martes, una mujer describe la ciudad como si estuviera “en una especie de apocalipsis”.\n\n\n“Solo hay un coche. No hay nada más ahí fuera, solo vacío”, lamenta.\n\n\nEn otro video publicado en redes sociales el miércoles, un residente cuenta que encontró estantes vacíos en un supermercado local después de que las cafeterías y comedores cerraran sus puertas. “Queríamos comprar algo para comer, pero no hay nada. Los estantes están vacíos”, afirma.\n\n\nEl propietario de una pensión en la localidad turística de Noviy Svet declaró a CNN que siguen llegando huéspedes y que el ambiente es de “cautela, no de pánico”.\n\n\n“En lo que a nosotros respecta, no veo ningún impacto significativo en el funcionamiento de la casa de huéspedes por el momento. Los huéspedes siguen llegando. El mar, las playas, los cafés y la infraestructura turística funcionan con normalidad. Más bien, existe incertidumbre y una mayor atención a las noticias”, afirmó.\n\n\nLos residentes de la península suelen ser reacios a hablar públicamente debido al control que Rusia ejerce sobre el terreno.\n\n\nSin embargo, un comunicado de Aksyonov en Telegram anunciando la prohibición generalizada de la venta de gas provocó que cientos de personas respondieran, expresando su frustración.\n\n\nUn usuario, el taxista Aleksandr, preguntó al jefe de la república cómo iba a mantener a su familia y pagar sus préstamos. “He consultado con los bancos sobre qué hacer con los préstamos. Sencillamente, no habrá dinero para pagarlos, y pronto no tendremos nada que comer ni cómo comprar alimentos. Los bancos se niegan a conceder moratorias de pago, alegando que no se ha declarado el estado de emergencia”, escribió el miércoles.\n\n\nOtra usuaria de Telegram, Diana, comentó que su negocio de suministro de aves de corral refrigeradas necesita gasóleo. “Nuestros productos son perecederos. Nuestra clientela incluye todas las cadenas minoristas y mercados de la península”, escribió.\n\n\nUna tercera usuaria, Olesya, comentó el martes que era imposible llegar al trabajo en transporte público, ya que los trolebuses estaban saturados. “Simplemente no hay espacio para más pasajeros. Todo el mundo necesita ir a trabajar”, apuntó.\n\n\nUcrania ha intentado aumentar la presión sobre el Kremlin para que participe en conversaciones de paz mediante ataques que se adentran cada vez más en territorio ruso, dirigidos principalmente contra refinerías de petróleo, pero también llevando a cabo golpes con drones a gran escala en la capital rusa y en San Petersburgo.\n\n\nAlgunos rusos han manifestado un creciente descontento a medida que la guerra se acerca sigilosamente a su territorio.\n\n\nAhora, en Crimea, Kyiv está atacando sistemáticamente los principales enlaces de transporte y rutas de suministro que conectan la península con las fuerzas rusas del sur, con el objetivo de interrumpir la logística y aislar la infraestructura militar de la zona.\n\n\nZelensky declaró el miércoles que la operación en Crimea está “cuidadosamente calculada” para “crear las condiciones que obliguen a Rusia a optar por la paz”.\n\n\n“La situación es difícil”, declaró a CNN Tatiana Stanovaya, fundadora de la firma de análisis político R.Politik. Sin embargo, no cree que el aumento de las presiones internas sobre Putin vaya a influir en sus decisiones y objetivos en Ucrania.\n\n\n“Estos ataques solo contribuirán a avivar el sentimiento antiucraniano en Rusia, generando más un sentimiento a favor del Estado que a favor de Putin. Es poco probable que conduzcan a un cambio político”, afirmó Stanovaya.\n\n\nEn su opinión, la campaña de Kyiv significa que cuando los rusos pregunten por qué el país sigue luchando, “ahora Putin podrá dar la respuesta”.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The true extent of the toll is still feared to be much higher as crews dig through rubble and survivors are left on the street with nowhere to go.\n\n\nThis comes at a dire time for Venezuela, which is being led by an interim government after US forces captured President Nicolás Maduro earlier this year, and facing an economy crippled by years of hyperinflation.\n\n\nHere’s what we know:\n\n\nWhat happened?\n\n\n\nA magnitude 7.2 foreshock took place near San Felipe, the capital city of Yaracuy state, just after 6:04 p.m. ET.\n\n\nJust 40 seconds later, it was followed by a larger 7.5 magnitude quake, some 23 kilometers (about 14 miles) southeast of Yumare, a town also in Yaracuy state.\n\n\nIt was what the US Geological Survey calls a “doublet” – a rare phenomenon that contained not one but two major earthquakes of similar destructive energy.\n\n\nWednesday was a public holiday, meaning many people may have been home or at public events.\n\n\nThe quake was felt in states across the country, as well as in neighboring Colombia, hundreds of kilometers from the epicenter.\n\n\nVideos geolocated by CNN showed some buildings collapsing in seconds, and terrified residents evacuating buildings with their loved ones and pets before gathering on the street. One resident in the capital Caracas who escaped from a damaged building said “the scene was like a horror movie.”\n\n\nWhat’s the situation on the ground?\n\n\n\nThe death toll is expected to keep rising. After a delayed emergency response in many areas of the country, rescuers are racing to find survivors, with the first 48 to 72 hours after a quake widely regarded as the “golden” window to reach people buried alive.\n\n\nSome 250 buildings have collapsed or endured damage, with the coastal state of La Guaira hardest hit and now declared a disaster zone, said acting President Delcy Rodriguez, who stepped into the role after Maduro’s capture.\n\n\nIn La Guaira, a large waterfront hotel in the city of Macuto was reduced to rubble, while in the town of Catia La Mar, videos show several collapsed buildings and badly damaged high-rises.\n\n\nFrom the ground outside another high-rise apartment building in Playa Grande, La Guaira, local resident Carlos Baez could see his neighbor trapped. The neighbor was able to wave back from the rubble of a mid-level floor, but no rescue crew has reached her yet as of Thursday afternoon.\n\n\nExperts say buildings in Venezuela are more likely to collapse than structures in other quake-prone places like Japan or California that have stronger enforcement of building codes – one possible factor behind the high death toll. Many buildings are also unlikely to have been retrofitted in line with modern earthquake regulations, experts said.\n\n\nOther images showed overwhelmed hospitals, with improvised wards in hallways and even on the street due to the large number of wounded – reflecting Venezuela’s long-suffering health system, which has faced years of deterioration and lack of investment.\n\n\nThousands of Caracas and La Guaira residents have slept outdoors or in their cars for two nights now, fearful of unstable buildings, as well as aftershocks that kept hitting the city even after the major quakes had subsided.\n\n\nMany are still unaware of their loved ones’ fate. In the Los Palos Grandes area in eastern Caracas, anguished people pleaded with authorities Thursday for news about relatives whose buildings collapsed.\n\n\nDisruptions to internet connectivity, thanks to damaged power and telecoms infrastructure, may hinder rescue efforts and the flow of information from affected areas in the coming days.\n\n\nWhat’s the response?\n\n\n\nVenezuela declared a state of emergency, with a high-level task force created to oversee search and rescue operations, and an initial $200 million fund to rebuild the country, Rodriguez said Wednesday night.\n\n\nLocal councils are also setting up shelters in schools and baseball stadiums, while aid organizations like Médecins Sans Frontières are coordinating with local hospitals and donating trauma emergency kits.\n\n\nMeanwhile, countries around the world are coordinating with Venezuela to send assistance as soon as possible.\n\n\nThe US has deployed rescue teams, medical resources, humanitarian assistance, and equipment such as aircraft to assess damage after President Donald Trump voiced his support. The State Department announced that the US will provide $150 million in aid.\n\n\nSearch and rescue teams from Chile, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Mexico, Spain and Switzerland arrived in Venezuela on Friday, according to state broadcaster VTV. Crews from more nations are on the way.\n\n\nOther countries have offered humanitarian aid, including China, Brazil, and some Caribbean nations.\n\n\nResidents have said that there is not enough aid to meet people’s needs, and that the first responders are struggling to cope with the number of people injured or missing under the rubble.\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional information.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The port city of Sevastopol was historically home to the headquarters for Russia’s Black Sea Fleet.\n\n\nUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ambitiously said he wanted to regain control of Crimea when he was elected in 2019 – messaging that has become louder since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.\n\n\nIn recent weeks, Ukraine has escalated its military efforts there, reflecting Kyiv’s broader push to increase pressure on the Kremlin. That campaign has upended daily life for people on the peninsula, resulting in frequent drone strikes, a ban on gas sales to ordinary residents, and the suspension of summer camps for children.\n\n\nOne resident of Sevastopol told CNN the city air raid alerts had become more regular in recent weeks, with several daily.\n\n\nShe described drones flying in and around the city, and intercepts often now taking place above the city rather than above the Black Sea, as was the case previously. The city has become “more dangerous,” she said.\n\n\nThe Russian-installed regional government in Crimea said Sunday that fuel would only be available to government agencies, and not to ordinary people or businesses.\n\n\nThe Sevastopol resident – who did not want to be named for safety reasons – told CNN there was no fuel at gas stations, but that public transport was still running. She bought gas when it was still available, at a much higher price than previously, she said.\n\n\nLengthy queues have been building up for the bridge that joins Crimea to southern Russia since Wednesday, with hundreds of vehicles lining up for hours awaiting manual inspection.\n\n\nThe number peaked Friday morning at 2,800 vehicles waiting to leave, after the Kerch Strait crossing was temporarily closed following an overnight Ukrainian drone attack on Crimea, according to figures reported by state news agency Tass. Nearly twice as many cars were seeking to leave Crimea as to enter.\n\n\n‘Cautious’ mood among tourists\n\n\n\nCrimea has been a popular holiday destination for Russians and Ukrainians since before Soviet times. During World War II, the resort city of Yalta hosted the historic meeting between British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, President Franklin Roosevelt and Soviet ruler Joseph Stalin; during the war, Crimea also saw a dark chapter of Soviet rule, the forcible deportation of the Crimean Tatar population on Stalin’s orders.\n\n\nThe peninsula was a showpiece destination in the communist era. After Ukraine’s independence in 1991, Crimea’s storied resorts faded, but its wild shores and beachfront raves drew international tourists. Since the 2014 annexation, Russian President Vladimir Putin has overseen billions of dollars of investment into Crimea, turning it into an increasingly developed resort destination. But that initiative is now under strain as Crimea grapples with power outages and fuel shortages.\n\n\nThe Russian-installed head of Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov, also announced this week that all children’s camps would be suspended until September 1.\n\n\nSeveral videos filmed in Simferopol, Crimea’s second city, and posted online show empty roads and public spaces. In one video recorded at around 9 p.m.  Tuesday, a woman describes the city as feeling like it’s “inside some sort of apocalypse.”\n\n\n“There is only one car. There is nothing else out there, emptiness,” she says.\n\n\nIn another video posted on social media Wednesday, a resident talks about finding empty shelves in a local supermarket after cafes and canteens had stopped operating. “We wanted to grab something to eat but there’s nothing. The shelves are empty,” he says.\n\n\nA guesthouse owner in the resort town of Noviy Svet told CNN guests are still arriving, and that the mood is “cautious, not panicked.”\n\n\n“Speaking about us personally, I don’t see any critical impact on the work of the guest house at the moment. The guests keep coming; the sea, beaches, cafes, and tourist infrastructure are working. Rather, there is uncertainty and increased attention to the news,” she said.\n\n\n‘Soon, we won’t have anything to eat’\n\n\n\nResidents of the peninsula are often reluctant to speak out publicly given the control Russia enforces on the ground.\n\n\nBut a statement by Aksyonov on Telegram announcing the broad ban on gas sales prompted hundreds to respond, voicing their frustrations.\n\n\nOne user, taxi driver Aleksandr, asked the head of the republic how he was supposed to support his family and pay off loans. “I’ve asked banks about what to do regarding the loans. There simply won’t be any money to pay them — and soon, we won’t have anything to eat, nor the means to buy food. Banks are refusing to grant payment holidays, citing the fact that a state of emergency hasn’t been declared,” he wrote on Wednesday.\n\n\nAnother Telegram user, Diana, said her chilled poultry supply business needs diesel fuel. “Our products are perishable. Our customer base includes all retail chains and markets across the peninsula,” she wrote.\n\n\nA third, Olesya, commented Tuesday that there was no way to get to work via public transport as the trolley buses were overwhelmed and overloaded. “There’s simply no room for more passengers. Everyone needs to get to work,” she wrote.\n\n\nUkraine has been trying to increase pressure on the Kremlin to engage in peace talks with strikes deeper into Russian territory, primarily targeting oil refineries but also carrying out large-scale drone strikes in the Russian capital and St. Petersburg. There has been growing discontent voiced by some Russians as the war has been slowly creeping onto their doorstep.\n\n\nNow, in Crimea, Kyiv is systematically targeting key transport links and supply routes connecting the peninsula to southern Russian forces, aiming to disrupt logistics and isolate military infrastructure there.\n\n\nZelensky said Wednesday that the operation in Crimea is “carefully calculated” to “create the conditions that will force Russia to choose peace.”\n\n\n“The situation is difficult,” Tatiana Stanovaya, founder of the political analysis firm R.Politik, told CNN. That said, she doesn’t believe the increased domestic pressures on Putin will impact his considerations and goals in Ukraine.\n\n\n“All these strikes will do is contribute to anti-Ukrainian sentiment in Russia, more pro-state not pro-Putin sentiment. They are unlikely to lead to a political shift,” Stanovaya said.\n\n\nIn her view, Kyiv’s campaign means that when Russians ask why the country keeps fighting, “now Putin can give the answer.”\n\n\nThis story has been updated.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

After years of exam leaks, persistently high youth unemployment, and opportunities slipping further out of reach, their simmering frustration is sparking a demand for accountability that many say can no longer be ignored.\n\n\nThe youth-driven Cockroach Janta Party – a riff on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party – launched just last month, deriving its insect mascot from comments made by India’s chief justice that were interpreted as calling the country’s unemployed youth “cockroaches.”\n\n\nLast week, Dipke traveled to several Indian cities, joining thousands of angry demonstrators to demand the education minister’s removal. The protests culminated on Saturday with a rally at New Delhi’s Jantar Mantar monument – a site Dipke has not left since.\n\n\nHundreds of people have gathered throughout the week to carry posters, shout slogans, and sing. The Cockroach Janta Party has also encouraged demonstrators to bring different symbolic props to the site each day.\n\n\nIn a bid to maintain a peaceful atmosphere, demonstrators have been seen offering roses to police officers on duty. Many have carried the Indian flag and brought copies of the constitution to the demonstration.\n\n\nEarlier in the week, participants arrived with “thalis” – traditional steel platters – and spoons, banging them in a cheeky nod to Modi’s Covid-era call to rattle utensils.\n\n\nOn Tuesday, protesters were asked to bring diapers and write demands for Pradhan’s resignation on them – a satirical swipe at the government’s inability to stop exam leaks, Dipke said.\n\n\n“There is not even a government exam in India which does not leak,” Dipke said. “So that was another symbol, that may be use a diaper to prevent leakages.”\n\n\nIndia’s make-or-break exam system is a high-stakes gauntlet for a limited number of university placements. Millions sit for them every year, competing for openings where a fraction of a percentage point can decide a student’s future.\n\n\nThe system has long been mired in controversy, including exam paper leaks and technical failures, placing a crushing burden on students, and financial strain on families investing everything in their children for a promise that can often appear fragile.\n\n\nLast month, more than two million students who sat for India’s largest medical entrance exam were told their results would be scrapped, after allegations emerged that the paper had been leaked.\n\n\nIn the weeks since, Indian media has reported several student suicides allegedly linked to the immense pressure of the exams, which Dipke and his supporters commemorated this week by lighting candles.\n\n\n“We just wanted to pay tribute to the students who lost their life because the system has failed them,” Dipke said.\n\n\nCNN has contacted India’s Education Ministry about the issues raised by Dipke.\n\n\nSpeaking to Indian news channel NDTV this week, Pradhan referred to the Cockroach Janta Party as the “B-team of terror groups.”\n\n\nDipke called the remarks “ridiculous,” insisting his group is seeking justice for students, especially those who have died by suicide.\n\n\n“Instead of taking moral responsibility, he is labeling us as terrorists. I don’t think there could be anything more sad than this,” he said.\n\n\nAuthorities implemented heavy security measures outside venues for the medical exam’s re-sit on Sunday and enlisted military aircraft to transport the test papers.\n\n\nAs for the ongoing New Delhi protest, a steady stream of volunteers keeps the camp running, arriving daily with food, drinking water and other essentials.\n\n\nDuring CNN’s visits on Tuesday and Wednesday, the crowd fluctuated between 200 and 300 people during the day, swelling to around 500 by the evening. As night fell, about 50 demonstrators remained sleeping at the site.\n\n\nWhen asked about the future of the movement, Dipke said that the Cockroach Janta Party is “still in the very early phase.”\n\n\n“It has only been a month since we started, and less than two weeks since I returned to India,” he said, outlining his plans to build a “formal structural body” across multiple states.\n\n\nUltimately, Dipke said he aims to reform India’s examination system.\n\n\n“We are taking it one step at a time,” he said, adding: “We are going to make a statement.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The change would eliminate a sixth grade “World Cultures” course and significantly expand lessons on communism.\n\n\nThe proposals, which would go into effect in 2030, have sharply divided teachers, parents and community members — hundreds of whom appeared before the school board this week to voice their concern and enthusiasm.\n\n\nSupporters argue the Bible should be studied as an essential literary text that can help students understand Western history and the founding of the US. One policy group has celebrated it as the “final battle” in an effort to purge Texas schools of lessons on race and history that they say divides students and criticizes America’s founders.\n\n\nHowever, those who oppose the changes say the mandatory reading list favors Christianity over other religions and violates the constitutionally protected separation between church and state. The teachings may also infringe on parents’ ability to lead their children’s religious education, they say, particularly in non-Christian households.\n\n\nFrom Sunday school to public school\n\n\n\nIn recent years, Texas leaders have broadly eliminated studies of racial and cultural diversity while expanding the schools’ abilities to introduce Christianity to students.\n\n\nIn 2023, the state became the first to allow chaplains to counsel students, and the following year approved a measure that offered more funding to schools that teach an optional Bible-infused elementary school curriculum. The state’s education code already requires K-12 schools to teach “religious literature, including the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) and New Testament, and its impact on history and literature.”\n\n\nAs students learn US history, supporters of the proposed curriculum argue Christian texts should be inseparable from lessons on the nation’s founding.\n\n\n“We don’t have to incorporate every religious belief in our history or in our literary works, because our nation was founded on Judeo-Christian values,” said Susan Perez, founder of a Christian parent advocacy group, Citizens for Education Reform, in a school board meeting Monday.\n\n\nPerez pointed out Christian references in the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution, which was signed in “the Year of Our Lord” 1787.\n\n\nIf passed, third-grade students would read the story, “ROAR! – Daniel and the Lion’s Den,” alongside titles like “Stuart Little” and “Charlotte’s Web,” according to the proposed lists online.\n\n\nAs students become more advanced in reading level, they would be introduced to passages directly from the Bible. Sixth-grade students would learn “The Shepherd’s Psalm” from the Book of Psalms alongside religious writings from George Washington and poems by Langston Hughes and Robert Frost.\n\n\nSeveral community members have expressed concerns the plan would infringe on their autonomy as parents to oversee their children’s religious education.\n\n\nKimmie Fink, the mother of an active-duty military family stationed in Texas, told the board, “I would like to believe that my children’s constitutionally guaranteed religious freedom rights will remain intact wherever we are stationed.”\n\n\n“Is this not the case in Texas, a state that champions parents’ rights? In Texas, parents have the fundamental legal right to direct the moral and religious upbringing of their children without state interference. The proposed literary works trample on this right,” Fink added.\n\n\nSome proponents of the curriculum changes dispute arguments that children will be explicitly taught religion, saying the Biblical passages and stories will be taught in the context of world history.\n\n\n“They are being used as literary and historical content rather than religious instruction,” former public school administrator Nancy Barker told the board. “The Bible references will provide students with the background knowledge you will need to understand the books, the speeches, poems and important documents that have shaped our civilization.”\n\n\n‘Not all of us believe the same’\n\n\n\nBoard member Tiffany Clark, a Christian and Democrat who represents parts of Dallas-Forth Worth, has vocally opposed the proposed curriculum. Clark said she and some of her Christian constituents believe “Bible lessons should be taught on Sundays.”\n\n\n“Not all of us believe the same,” Clark said, noting that Christian denominations reference different translations of the Bible and at times differ in their interpretations.\n\n\nThe proposed curriculum mandates specific Bible translations, including the King James Bible, which is widely used by Protestant and Evangelical churches but is avoided by the Roman Catholic Church.\n\n\nClark also says she fears the emphasis on Christian texts would alienate children who come from other religious backgrounds and prevent their parents from solely shaping their religious education. About a third of adults in Texas identify as non-Christian, according to Pew Research Center surveys from 2023-2024.\n\n\nThough parents would have the option to opt their children out of some of the required teachings, Clark said, missing lessons could impact students’ test scores. Because the texts would be part of the curriculum, they could be included on standardized testing, potentially impacting the school district’s test record if students do not perform well.\n\n\nOne mother who spoke before the school board Monday in support of the proposal said she believes Texas has always stood for “giving our kids the knowledge they need to succeed.”\n\n\n“Keeping biblical references in our social studies standards isn’t about pushing my religion, it’s about giving our students a complete education here and making sure they understand the history,” the mother said.\n\n\nHowever, teachers may be put in a position to teach religious texts they are not familiar or comfortable with, said Rabbi Joshua Fixler with Congregation Emanu El in Houston.\n\n\n“This list is full of Christian texts that are inappropriate for public school classrooms. As a rabbi and a parent of Jewish kids, I think it is vital that this board make a distinction between teaching about religion and teaching religion. This list will force teachers to cross that line,” Fixler said.\n\n\nIf put into effect, the mandated literature curriculum could be a first of its kind, according to Antero Garcia, president of the National Council of Teachers of English and a Stanford University education professor.\n\n\nGarcia told the AP he doesn’t know of any other state with a similar list. Educators at the district and school levels are generally able to choose what texts their students will read, he said.\n\n\nKasey Meehan, director of PEN America’s Freedom to Read program, told the AP she believes such a mandated reading list would be unique to Texas.\n\n\n“I think there’s lots of state lists that exist that are like advised readings, suggested readings,” she told the AP.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Heat domes are not unusual, but the temperatures in this one have been.\n\n\nRecords have fallen like dominoes: France experienced its hottest day on record Wednesday, beating a record set only the day before. The UK posted its highest June temperature ever recorded Wednesday, then smashed it again Thursday. Spain endured its two hottest June days on record Monday and Tuesday. Switzerland posted its hottest recorded June temperature on Thursday. The list goes on.\n\n\nTo calculate the role climate change played in these extremes, WWA scientists used real-world and forecast data to analyze the three hottest days and nights of this heat wave across a huge section of Europe, comparing the likelihood of similar extremes during past major heat wave years of 1976 and 2003, when the Earth was cooler.\n\n\nThey found both the daytime highs and nighttime temperatures during this period would have been “virtually impossible” 50 years ago, in 1976, when some of the previous European heat records were set.\n\n\nThe world has warmed by nearly 2 degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 degrees Celsius) over the past 50 years, which has increased the chances of extreme heat immensely, the scientists said.\n\n\nA similar heat wave occurring in June 1976 would have been a startling 6.3 degrees Fahrenheit cooler (3.5 degrees Celsius), according to the study, which has not been peer-reviewed but used peer-reviewed methods.\n\n\nThe scientists looked at nighttime temperatures, too, which have also been record-breaking: France endured its hottest night ever recorded Wednesday into Thursday. Heat at night is particularly dangerous because it allows the body no time to recover.\n\n\nEurope’s sweltering nighttime heat is about 100 times more likely today than it was in 2003, the year of a major European heat wave that killed more than 70,000 people, the report found.\n\n\nThe WWA scientists also analyzed the impacts of the heat wave’s high humidity. They looked at 854 cities across 30 heat-affected European countries and found 45% of them have broken or are about to break their all-time records for wet bulb globe temperature.\n\n\nWet bulb globe temperature accounts for the combined impacts of temperature, humidity, sun and wind, and is a measure of heat stress and the body’s ability to cool itself. The higher it gets, the harder it is for the body to rely on its cooling mechanisms, especially sweating, increasing the chances of heat exhaustion or even heat stroke, which can be fatal.\n\n\n“This summer shows that at 1.4 degrees Celsius of global warming, extreme heat is already reaching the limits of our societies’ ability to cope,” the scientists wrote.\n\n\nEurope’s heat has quickly turned deadly. Although the true extent of deaths won’t be known for some time, countries have already reported hundreds of heat-related fatalities.\n\n\nIn Spain, more than 200 people have died due to the heat wave over just four days, according to data estimates from the country’s mortality monitoring system, reported Thursday. At least 48 people have drowned in France seeking relief from the heat over the last week.\n\n\nThe heat wave also forced thousands of schools to close, disrupted rail services, led to power outages and closed tourist attractions.\n\n\nEurope is the planet’s fastest-warming continent and these kinds of extreme heat waves are only expected to become more severe, frequent and prolonged unless humans rapidly phase out fossil fuels, the scientists said.\n\n\n“It’s really now a question of what kind of future we want for ourselves, and whether we’re willing to do what it takes to secure it.” said Friederike Otto, a professor of climate science at Imperial College London.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Las autoridades están investigando y se aconsejó a los buques transitar con cautela y reportar actividad sospechosa.\n\n\nCNN se ha puesto en contacto con la Casa Blanca para solicitar comentarios.\n\n\nLa pausa en la operación de evacuación se produce días después de que la Organización Marítima Internacional (OMI) dijera que un acuerdo entre Estados Unidos e Irán había abierto el camino para la evacuación de más de 11.000 marinos varados de la región del golfo Pérsico.\n\n\n“Tras el lanzamiento del plan de evacuación de la OMI, mediante el cual varios buques ya han sido evacuados con éxito, he decidido pausar temporalmente su implementación con el fin de reconfirmar que las garantías de seguridad necesarias siguen vigentes para los buques de nuestra lista de evacuación y para todos los que se encuentran en la región”, dijo el secretario general de la OMI, Arsenio Domínguez, en un comunicado.\n\n\nDijo que había sido informado de un ataque el jueves en el golfo de Omán contra un buque que había pasado por el estrecho de Ormuz, y añadió que el buque no operaba bajo el marco de evacuación de la OMI.\n\n\n“Siempre he reiterado que la seguridad de los marinos sigue siendo primordial”, dijo Domínguez. “Por lo tanto, para garantizar un enfoque coordinado y la seguridad de la navegación, el plan de evacuación se pausará hasta que haya mayor claridad”.\n\n\nDomínguez señaló que el jueves es el Día del Marino, y dijo que el momento pone de relieve la necesidad de garantizar que las gestiones para evacuar “a los miles de marinos varados en el golfo Pérsico” puedan continuar sin ponerlos en riesgo de convertirse en “víctimas colaterales en este conflicto geopolítico”.\n\n\nLa Organización de Gestión de Vías Marítimas del Golfo Pérsico de Irán dijo el jueves que a los buques que viajen fuera de sus rutas designadas no se les garantizaría un tránsito seguro y no estarían cubiertos por seguros ni por responsabilidades relacionadas. “Las consecuencias de viajar por rutas no autorizadas serán responsabilidad del propietario, el operador y el comandante del buque”, añadió en una publicación en X.\n\n\nEl hecho se produjo mientras el secretario de Estado de Estados Unidos, Marco Rubio, se encuentra en la región del Golfo para vender el acuerdo con Irán a tres países que probablemente estén entre sus mayores escépticos.\n\n\nLa semana pasada, Estados Unidos publicó el texto oficial del memorando de entendimiento alcanzado durante el fin de semana con Irán.\n\n\nUn alto funcionario del Gobierno de Estados Unidos leyó el documento de 14 puntos, que detalla disposiciones para reabrir el estrecho de Ormuz, aliviar ciertas restricciones financieras a Irán y establece expectativas para abordar el programa nuclear de Irán durante futuras conversaciones técnicas.\n\n\nLos precios del petróleo en Estados Unidos han caído a su nivel más bajo desde el inicio de la guerra con Irán, tras un repunte cuando los combates cerraron el estrecho de Ormuz.\n\n\nZachary Cohen y James Frater, de CNN, contribuyeron al reportaje.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The judge sent jurors a note asking if they could agree unanimously on any of the charges: destruction of property by means of fire, arson affecting property used in interstate commerce and timber set afire.\n\n\nThe jury responded with the note in which “cannot” is underlined, US District Judge Anne Hwang said in court.\n\n\nProsecutors suggested they could give more arguments. The defense suggested an Allen charge, essentially a more strongly worded jury instruction urging jurors to continue trying to come to an agreement, the Associated Press reported.\n\n\nThe jury is at “an impasse,” one of Rinderknecht’s lawyers said when discussing with the judge and prosecutors how to move forward. “The latest note is a pretty clear indication as to where they are.”\n\n\nThe court told the jury in yet another note it would “respond to your note when you return” on Friday at 9 a.m. local time.\n\n\nIf a jury is deadlocked, or “hung,” a judge can declare a mistrial, ending the trial without a clear resolution. Judges often do not declare mistrials until several steps have been taken to ensure a jury is truly deadlocked.\n\n\nRinderknecht is feeling “a lot of anxiety,” but “he’s hanging in there,” defense attorney Steve Haney told reporters Thursday after court adjourned. Prosecutors did not speak to reporters at that time.\n\n\nHow both sides cast the accused\n\n\n\nProsecutors called more than 30 witnesses over six days, painting Rinderknecht as a vengeful and angry person who ignited a blaze that later became the Palisades Fire, claiming a dozen lives and scorching thousands of homes and businesses in Los Angeles’ Pacific Palisades neighborhood.\n\n\nProsecutors argued Rinderknecht was alone in a clearing on a Palisades hillside in the early hours of New Year’s Day 2025 when a fire, then dubbed the Lachman Fire, broke out. Though firefighters soon suppressed the blaze, an arson investigator testified the fire smoldered underground before heavy winds made it flare again on January 7, becoming the Palisades Fire.\n\n\nProsecutors contended Rinderknecht was motivated by his desire to seek revenge against society at large and also was angry at the wealthy and his inability to find companionship on New Year’s Eve.\n\n\nPassengers driven by Rinderknecht, who was working as an Uber driver, testified he ranted about capitalism and was fixated by Luigi Mangione, the 28-year-old accused in the December 2024 killing of a health care executive in New York.\n\n\nRinderknecht’s attorneys called nine witnesses over about three days, including a consultant and former arson investigator who said there was not enough evidence to illustrate a serious intent to start a fire – and fireworks were “the most obvious cause” of the blaze.\n\n\nOther witness testimony was used to corroborate defense claims that New Year’s revelers were setting off fireworks in the area that night.\n\n\nRinderknecht’s defense also acknowledged he saw flames that night at the clearing – known as the Hidden Buddha – and emphasized he called 911 several times, though the calls could not immediately connect.\n\n\nHaney argued no one saw his client light a fire and cast Rinderknecht as a scapegoat.\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional information.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The project includes replacing ageing electrical wiring, pipes and heating.\n\n\nWhen work started in 2017, officials had expected the palace to remain the monarch’s primary London residence as it had been since Queen Victoria became sovereign in 1837.\n\n\nJames Chalmers, the king’s treasurer and keeper of the privy purse, said it would remain the primary venue for ceremonial and official functions including receiving foreign dignitaries.\n\n\n“It is and will remain monarchy HQ, the crown jewel of our national buildings, with the sovereign’s standard flying proudly from the roof whenever his majesty is in London,” he told reporters.\n\n\nNeither Charles nor the late Queen Elizabeth had stayed overnight at the palace since 2019. The king will maintain private rooms there that could be used as accommodation.\n\n\nSome 700,000 people visit the building every year, and there will be greater public access, Chalmers said, without providing details.\n\n\nCharles reveals tax bill\n\n\n\nBy law, the British king is not obliged to pay income, capital gains or inheritance tax, but Charles, like his mother did after 1993, has voluntarily done so without disclosing the amounts.\n\n\nCharles, like all monarchs since 1399, gets a private income from the vast Duchy of Lancaster estate — £25.2 million in 2025/26 — as well as from his other holdings and investments.\n\n\nChalmers said the king paid £11.7 million in tax in 2023/24 and more than £30 million in taxes since becoming king in 2022.\n\n\nHe also receives money from the government, known as the Sovereign Grant, to pay for staff, royal palaces and travel. That amount will be £137.9 million in 2026/27.\n\n\nBut Chalmers said it would be cut for the first time in 2027/28 to £100 million “in line with his majesty’s clear wishes”, a level where it will stay until 2031/32.\n\n\nThat makes it almost £60 million higher than in 2016 when the funding formula was changed to pay for the Buckingham Palace refit. “This is not a blank cheque,” Chalmers said, adding there were safeguards in place to ensure the amount was proportional.\n\n\nPrince William, heir to the throne, paid £7.76 million in tax in 2024/25 and instructed that £1.5 million in rent from a closed prison go to the local community, his office said. William and Charles have faced criticism that they are profiting from charging the army, health service and schools rent.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Wolf, CNN\n\n\nSin importar qué selección dispute la final de la Copa del Mundo de 2026, el próximo 19 de julio podría vivirse un momento incómodo en Nueva Jersey cuando el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, entregue el trofeo al equipo campeón.\n\n\nTrump ha librado una guerra contra uno de los países que participan en el torneo y una guerra verbal contra muchos otros. Ha insultado a la población o a los líderes de varias naciones, ha intentado influir en elecciones en Sudamérica, ha impuesto aranceles a economías de todo el mundo y ha roto antiguas alianzas mientras busca redefinir el orden mundial bajo una política exterior basada en el principio de “Estados Unidos primero”.\n\n\nAunque Estados Unidos sigue sin ser favorito para conquistar el torneo, la selección masculina ha alimentado la ilusión de sus aficionados tras una sólida actuación en la fase de grupos. Pero si los estadounidenses terminan levantando el trofeo, será gracias a un equipo integrado por varios jugadores inmigrantes. El máximo goleador del equipo después de dos partidos es Folarin Balogun. Su madre, originaria de Nigeria, tenía siete meses de embarazo cuando quedó imposibilitada de salir de Nueva York. Balogun pasó la mayor parte de su vida en el Reino Unido y juega profesionalmente para el Mónaco, de la primera división francesa, pero puede representar a Estados Unidos gracias a la ciudadanía por nacimiento.\n\n\nEl derecho de toda persona nacida en Estados Unidos a obtener automáticamente la ciudadanía está protegido por la Decimocuarta Enmienda. Sin embargo, la Corte Suprema, de mayoría conservadora, analiza actualmente si Trump puede dejar sin efecto ese derecho.\n\n\nSi Trump lograra imponer su criterio, Balogun estaría representando a Nigeria o Inglaterra.\n\n\nTrump declaró la guerra a Irán, país que aún no ha sido eliminado de la Copa del Mundo pese a que su selección enfrentó restricciones adicionales durante el torneo.\n\n\nTambién calificó a España, una de las favoritas al título, como “un espectáculo de horror” por oponerse a la guerra contra Irán y amenazó con cortar todo el comercio con ese país. Australia fue una de varias naciones apuntadas por Trump por no haber apoyado la ofensiva contra Irán, a pesar de que el mandatario no intentó construir previamente una coalición internacional antes de lanzar la operación militar junto con Israel.\n\n\nSu cambiante relación con la OTAN mantiene en alerta a gran parte de Europa occidental, considerada el centro de poder del fútbol mundial.\n\n\nEn otra ocasión describió a Bruselas, capital de Bélgica y sede de la OTAN, como un “agujero infernal”.\n\n\nTambién dijo que Noruega era “una broma” porque no recibió el Premio Nobel de la Paz. Posteriormente, la FIFA, organismo rector del fútbol mundial, le otorgó un reconocimiento propio por la paz.\n\n\nLos líderes de Francia y Alemania han debido maniobrar cuidadosamente para tratar de mantener una buena relación con Trump sin deteriorar los vínculos con Estados Unidos. Mientras tanto, aliados del presidente han fortalecido relaciones con partidos de extrema derecha en Europa.\n\n\nTrump pareció incluso disfrutar de la reciente caída política del primer ministro del Reino Unido. El Reino Unido incluye a Inglaterra y Escocia, donde el mandatario posee un campo de golf que contribuyó a reforzar su rechazo hacia las energías renovables, como los parques eólicos marinos.\n\n\nDurante su primer mandato calificó a Haití y a países africanos como “países de mierda”. En la campaña presidencial de 2024 difundió además una teoría conspirativa falsa según la cual solicitantes de asilo haitianos estaban comiéndose las mascotas de los residentes de Ohio. Ahora, la Corte Suprema, de mayoría conservadora, le permitirá deportar a haitianos que contaban con un estatus legal temporal en Estados Unidos.\n\n\nTrump también ha tensado la relación con los otros dos países anfitriones de la Copa del Mundo, México y Canadá, mediante aranceles, la construcción del muro fronterizo y amenazas recurrentes sobre la soberanía canadiense.\n\n\nAsimismo, ha manifestado su intención de recuperar el control del Canal de Panamá, que fue devuelto a Panamá durante el Gobierno de Jimmy Carter.\n\n\nEn Sudamérica, ha intervenido en la política regional al ofrecer un rescate financiero a Argentina con el objetivo de fortalecer políticamente a su aliado, el presidente Javier Milei. Estados Unidos también mantiene una relación cercana con Paraguay, donde diversos informes señalan que Washington identifica oportunidades para desarrollar centros de datos. La relación con Ecuador también es estrecha y las Fuerzas Armadas de Estados Unidos han participado en operaciones contra el narcotráfico.\n\n\nEn contraste, Trump impuso aranceles del 40 % a Brasil para castigar al adversario político de su aliado, el expresidente Jair Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro cumple actualmente una condena de 27 años de prisión por un intento de golpe de Estado.\n\n\nTambién respaldó al partido de extrema derecha que ganó las elecciones de Colombia este mes con su líder, Abelardo de la Espriella, al frente de lo que fue una segunda vuelta extremadamente reñida.\n\n\nEn una reunión celebrada en el Despacho Oval, Trump acusó al presidente de Sudáfrica de cometer un “genocidio” contra agricultores blancos. Mientras ha restringido el acceso al asilo para gran parte del mundo, el Gobierno de Trump ha facilitado la llegada de sudafricanos blancos a Estados Unidos.\n\n\nLas reuniones en el Despacho Oval se han convertido en una especie de prueba para los líderes extranjeros. Este año, Trump incluso hizo una broma sobre Pearl Harbor al recibir a la nueva primera ministra de Japón.\n\n\nEstados Unidos también parece haber modificado su postura respecto de Ghana. Mientras el Gobierno de Joe Biden se oponía a leyes locales contra las personas LGBTQ, el Gobierno de Trump guardó silencio frente a una legislación aprobada el mes pasado que contempla penas de prisión tanto para personas LGBTQ como para quienes defiendan sus derechos. Tampoco condenó una ley similar aprobada en Senegal, lo que llevó a algunos activistas a acusar a Washington de contribuir al clima de hostilidad contra la comunidad LGBTQ en algunos países africanos.\n\n\nLa República Democrática del Congo enfrenta actualmente un brote de ébola, situación que ha reavivado interrogantes sobre los recortes a la ayuda exterior aplicados al inicio del segundo mandato de Trump.\n\n\nLa Embajada de Estados Unidos en Sarajevo amenazó con revisar el papel de Washington en la región tras una disputa diplomática con países europeos y después de que Donald Trump Jr. visitara a un líder separatista que anteriormente había sido sancionado por el Gobierno de Bosnia-Herzegovina.\n\n\nAunque posteriormente la Corte Suprema anuló la medida, los amplios “aranceles recíprocos” impuestos por Trump en 2025 ejercieron una presión desproporcionada sobre Bosnia-Herzegovina y Túnez.\n\n\nTrump mantiene además relaciones estrechas con Arabia Saudita, pese a los recelos sobre la situación de los derechos humanos en ese país. No obstante, Arabia Saudita figura entre los Estados del golfo Pérsico que observan con inquietud las negociaciones entre Estados Unidos e Irán, desarrolladas en Ginebra, Suiza. De manera paralela, el reciente llamado de Trump para que más países de Medio Oriente se sumen a los Acuerdos de Abraham y normalicen relaciones con Israel ha generado dudas y presión adicional sobre Arabia Saudita, Jordania, Egipto y Qatar.\n\n\nEstados Unidos sigue siendo una superpotencia con enorme influencia global. Sin embargo, la versión de la política exterior impulsada por Trump, aunque refleja claramente sus prioridades y alianzas personales, también genera situaciones incómodas en distintos lugares del mundo. Eso sí, es probable que pocos futbolistas estén pensando en esas tensiones si tienen la oportunidad de levantar el trofeo de la Copa del Mundo.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Key markets, including Italy, Spain and France, generated double-digit sales growth in the first half of this year, it added.\n\n\nRival LG Electronics said air-conditioner production lines at one of its facilities in South Korea had been operating at full capacity since April ahead of “seasonal summer demand across Korea and global markets.”\n\n\nIt is a similar story for China’s Midea, which has experienced soaring demand for its PortaSplit air conditioner that the company says has had such strong orders that second-hand prices have exceeded the cost of new units.\n\n\n“A heatwave in the final two weeks of May significantly boosted sales, particularly for the PortaSplit air conditioner, which sold out in some channels,” Midea said.\n\n\nEuropean trends\n\n\n\nSales through German e-commerce channels rose about 37% in May from a year earlier, while shipments in Spain and France jumped 108% from a year earlier, it added.\n\n\nThe massive demand for cooling devices underscores the shift in European consumer behavior as countries grapple with profound climate changes.\n\n\nIn Europe, older buildings can, however, make air-conditioner installation costly and complicated, often requiring lengthy wait times for fitting.\n\n\nMidea said the cost of installing an air conditioner in Europe could be more than $1,137 (€1,000), putting it out of reach for many households.\n\n\nAccording to the International Energy Agency, total ownership of air conditioning units in Europe stands at around 20%.\n\n\nAs temperatures soar, countries with well-known air-con brands like China, Japan and South Korea are certain to benefit. The searing heat has made life, especially for the elderly and those with chronic disease, hard to bear as they struggle to stay cool.\n\n\nCompanies have also adopted measures to help protect workers, including equipping delivery staff with “cool boxes” containing reusable cooling towels, water-activated wrist coolers and UV-protective neck guards.\n\n\nJapan’s Mitsubishi Electric said it, too, was seeing a surge in demand for air-conditioning units from Europe, which the World Meteorological Organization has said is warming at more than twice the global average.\n\n\n“In Europe, sales of air conditioners have been strong, particularly in France, Spain, the U.K., and Germany, which were hit by heat waves,” the company told Reuters.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

El evento, según el Servicio Geológico de Estados Unidos, fue un fenómeno raro llamado “doblete” que no contenía uno, sino dos grandes terremotos.\n\n\nLos dobletes ocurren cuando dos sismos de magnitud similar suceden en rápida sucesión — potencialmente causando más daños que un solo sismo. En este caso, un terremoto de magnitud 7,2 sacudió el norte de Venezuela y luego lo siguió otro de magnitud 7,5, apenas 39 segundos después.\n\n\n“Los terremotos dobles son muy destructivos”, dijo Raul Pérez-López, un científico de terremotos del Instituto Geológico y Minero de España en Madrid. “La principal diferencia es que los terremotos dobles tienen energía similar, mientras que (un) terremoto único y las réplicas (más pequeñas) tienen menor energía”.\n\n\nSin embargo, algunos investigadores especulan que datos adicionales en los próximos días podrían revelar que el evento fue causado por un gran terremoto en lugar de un doblete. La diferencia entre un terremoto largo y unos gemelos puede no importar en términos de resultados humanos, pero podría enseñarles mucho a los científicos sobre esto tan poco común, lo que permitiría predecir la gravedad de los terremotos.\n\n\n“Probablemente van a pasar algunos días o más para que los sismólogos realmente puedan desentrañar lo que ocurrió”, dijo Judith Hubbard, una científica experta en terremotos de la Universidad de Cornell que analizó la actividad sísmica reciente, “y entonces puede que no tengan una idea concluyente de: ‘¿fue un terremoto o fueron dos?’”.\n\n\nLos dobletes son raros, aunque esta región no es ajena a ellos. Un doblete más débil — terremotos de magnitud 6,2 y 6,3 — sacudió la zona en septiembre de 2025, según el USGS.\n\n\n“No tenemos realmente una buena idea de qué fallas producen dobletes y cuáles no, o de si siquiera existe un tipo de falla que produzca dobletes”, dijo Hubbard. “No ocurren con la suficiente frecuencia como para que podamos establecer una regla general”.\n\n\nLos terremotos ocurren cuando dos placas tectónicas en movimiento se atascan, acumulan tensión y luego liberan de repente la energía acumulada. Las sacudidas del miércoles ocurrieron en el límite entre las placas del Caribe y la Sudamericana, que han estado deslizándose a una tasa de alrededor de 20 milímetros por año. El norte de Venezuela a menudo padece terremotos grandes y dañinos, pero, durante el último siglo, la región solo ha experimentado siete terremotos de magnitud 6 o mayor.\n\n\nDebido a la rápida sucesión de los sismos, Hubbard dijo que confirmar que hubo dos terremotos podría ser difícil con los datos preliminares, y hay otras explicaciones para lo que los científicos ven en los sismógrafos.\n\n\nPara empezar, un gran terremoto de magnitud 7,5 no suele ocurrir de una sola vez, dijo. Un sismo tan importante comienza en un lugar y se propaga a lo largo de la falla, rompiendo diferentes partes en distintos momentos. En el caso de Venezuela, el primer pulso — responsable del sismo de 7,2 — podría haber desencadenado un efecto dominó de pulsos que se convirtió en la secuela mayor.\n\n\nDijo que un terremoto suele tardar unos 30 a 40 segundos en completarse, pero “como ese pulso mayor ocurrió dentro de la sacudida del primero, fue realmente difícil de ver” en los datos actuales.\n\n\nSi estos fueran dos pulsos de una sola ruptura, dijo Hubbard, el evento podría ser equivalente a un sismo de magnitud 7,6.\n\n\nEn el reporte preliminar hasta ahora, sin embargo, el USGS describió un panorama de dos sismos distintos separados por unos 5 a 10 kilómetros (3 a 6 millas) — planteando la posibilidad de que uno haya desencadenado al otro. A pesar de la proximidad, la agencia propuso que las fallas detrás de los sismos se deslizaron con movimientos opuestos.\n\n\n“Los datos sísmicos son ambiguos”, dijo Hubbard. “No se puede distinguir la diferencia entre estas dos orientaciones de falla y direcciones de deslizamiento” hasta que llegue más información.\n\n\nVarios sismos posteriores, menos intensos, han ocurrido desde entonces cerca de Caracas, lo que podría aportar claridad. Si los sismos posteriores están rompiendo con patrones similares a los temblores iniciales, dijo, podría confirmar si las orientaciones propuestas son precisas o no.\n\n\nConfirmar lo que ocurrió sobre el terreno podría ser complicado en medio de los daños. Especialmente alrededor de Caracas, los sedimentos subterráneos podrían haber ralentizado y amplificado las ondas sísmicas, lo que habría incrementado el poder destructivo. Además, el hundimiento del terreno podría provocar daños adicionales en los cimientos de los edificios. La región carece de redes sísmicas extensas, y los cortes de energía en los principales centros podrían retrasar aún más los rescates. Los datos satelitales, que deberían estar disponibles en los próximos días, podrían revelar los movimientos de la falla y ofrecer más pistas sobre las fallas que se rompieron.\n\n\nA pesar de ser raros, los terremotos doblete llaman la atención cuando ocurren. En 2023, un par de terremotos de magnitud 7,8 y 7,7 golpearon Turquía y Siria. Ocurrieron con nueve horas de diferencia y causaron daños generalizados.\n\n\nHubbard espera que este evento sea estudiado a fondo por la comunidad científica, ya que podría ayudar a los científicos a estimar mejor cuán grande podría llegar a ser un terremoto basándose solo en los primeros segundos de una ruptura.\n\n\n“Todo lo que sabemos sobre los terremotos proviene de estudios de caso de grandes terremotos como este”, dijo Hubbard. “Incluso cuando hay muy pocos datos, hemos logrado aprender muchas cosas”.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The move would make Klomp second in command behind HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whom he has been closely advising for several months.\n\n\n“HHS is a massive and complex organization, but Chris knows exactly how to run it,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. He added that he, Kennedy and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz “made this decision together!”\n\n\nKlomp would need to be confirmed by the Senate as deputy secretary, adding his name to a list of federal health nominees awaiting hearings before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.\n\n\nHHS has been without a deputy secretary since Jim O’Neill left in February as part of a broader shakeup in agency leadership, partly in an effort to refocus health care messaging around lower costs and the TrumpRx program, people familiar told CNN at the time.\n\n\nThat same month, Klomp, who had been serving as Medicare director since April 2025, was chosen to oversee HHS operations and advise Kennedy. As Medicare’s chief, Klomp became a fixture in the administration’s efforts to broker TrumpRx deals with pharmaceutical companies and build Trump’s most-favored nations plan to further cut prescription drug costs.\n\n\n“Chris Klomp has been unbelievable, a real star,” Trump said during a White House event in April touting a deal with drugmaker Regeneron. “You don’t know his name as much as some of the others, but he’s a real star of the group.”\n\n\nAt HHS, Klomp led the searches this year for candidates to lead the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the surgeon general’s office. In April, Trump nominated public health veteran Dr. Erica Schwartz for CDC director and Fox News contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier for surgeon general; both await Senate confirmation hearings.\n\n\nKlomp has also been closely involved in the search for a replacement for former US Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary, who stepped down in May.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Pero su discurso de venta suena bastante diferente al del presidente Donald Trump y el vicepresidente J. D. Vance.\n\n\nDurante visitas con aliados de Medio Oriente para recabar apoyo y calmar temores, Rubio no solo ha evitado afirmaciones contundentes sobre el controvertido memorando de entendimiento (MOU, por sus siglas en inglés); también ha adoptado un tono significativamente diferente sobre los detalles del MOU y el proceso de paz.\n\n\nUn ejemplo de ello llegó el jueves, cuando Rubio redobló sus declaraciones pasadas en las que calificó a los líderes de Irán como “lunáticos (…) religiosos”.\n\n\n“El sistema iraní está liderado por clérigos, clérigos radicales”, dijo Rubio durante una visita a Bahrein. “Así es como siempre ha estado liderado. Y así es como sigue estando liderado”.\n\n\nPero los comentarios llegaron una semana después de que Trump y Vance levantaran muchas cejas al presentar a los iraníes como potencialmente reformados.\n\n\nDe hecho, Trump rechazó expresamente la idea de que sus líderes actuales estuvieran “radicalizados”.\n\n\n“Estamos tratando con gente que creo que es gente muy racional”, dijo Trump el 16 de junio en la cumbre del G7 en Francia. “Fue agradable tratar con ellos. Eran gente fuerte, inteligente. (…) Pero no están radicalizados y, ya sabe, buscan ayudar a su país”.\n\n\nVance, que aprovechó la oportunidad de ser la cara del acuerdo, también sugirió que los iraníes podrían estar replanteándose casi cinco décadas de política exterior antiestadounidense.\n\n\n“Esto es algo muy interesante de estas negociaciones: ves a gente, tanto a los de línea dura como a los más políticos, diciendo que nuestra relación con Estados Unidos durante los últimos 47 años ha sido un error. Demos vuelta a la página”, dijo Vance.\n\n\nTanto Vance como Rubio matizaron sus comentarios al enfatizar que las cosas podrían cambiar y que el tiempo diría cuáles son las verdaderas intenciones de los iraníes.\n\n\nPero es notable que estos dos altos funcionarios —sobre cuyas perspectivas para 2028 Trump ha especulado abiertamente— ofrecieran visiones muy diferentes sobre el liderazgo de Teherán.\n\n\nUna de las ausencias más curiosas del MOU fue cualquier mención a poner fin al programa de misiles de Irán. Este había sido uno de los objetivos declarados de la administración Trump al inicio de la guerra, pero el MOU guardó silencio al respecto.\n\n\nAún más curioso, Trump pareció dar un paso atrás de manera significativa respecto a ese objetivo la semana pasada. Dijo repetidamente que a Irán se le debería permitir tener al menos algunos misiles.\n\n\n“Tienen que tener algunos, porque otras personas tienen algunos”, dijo Trump. Añadió que “los misiles no son el problema” porque “no hacen estallar el planeta”.\n\n\nTrump añadió más tarde sobre el programa de misiles de Irán: “En proporción relativa, creo que está bien”.\n\n\nPero Rubio el miércoles sugirió una línea mucho más dura mientras hablaba con aliados de Oriente Medio que, comprensiblemente, están bastante preocupados por el uso que Irán hace de esos misiles. Dijo que la administración estaba alineada con esos aliados y no permitiría que Irán los amenazara.\n\n\n“No vamos a hacer nada que socave la seguridad de nuestros aliados —nuestros aliados de larga data en la región—”, dijo Rubio en Kuwait, cuando se le preguntó sobre el uso de misiles y drones por parte de Irán.\n\n\nOtro de los objetivos originales de la administración Trump que no se plasmó en el MOU fue poner fin al apoyo de Irán a grupos proxy como Hezbolá y Hamás.\n\n\nRubio sugirió esta semana que el MOU era más sólido de lo que podría haber parecido en ese frente.\n\n\nArgumentó que la declaración del acuerdo de que Irán, Estados Unidos y sus aliados evitarían “cualquier acción hostil entre sí, y se abstendrán de la amenaza o el uso de la fuerza entre sí” se aplicaba al apoyo de Irán a los grupos que respalda. Dijo que una “lectura cuidadosa” del MOU lo demostraba.\n\n\n“No se puede poner fin a las hostilidades y los conflictos en la región mientras los grupos respaldados por Irán estén lanzando misiles y drones desde Iraq y participando en terrorismo como lo hizo Hamas y como lo hizo Hezbollah”, dijo Rubio el martes en Abu Dhabi. “Así que sí creo que está cubierto por el MOU”.\n\n\nVance ofreció una versión de este mismo argumento la semana pasada en una entrevista con Jake Tapper de CNN.\n\n\nDijo que esa parte del MOU significaba que “los iraníes tienen que dejar de financiar organizaciones terroristas violentas, tienen que dejar de financiar la inestabilidad regional”.\n\n\nPero Trump no ha sido tan firme.\n\n\nDe hecho, en el G7 la semana pasada, Trump pareció agrupar el tema de los grupos respaldados por Irán con el de los misiles como algo que se abordaría más adelante, como parte de lo que llamó “un esfuerzo paralelo con las naciones del Golfo para abordar cuestiones no nucleares”.\n\n\n“Y también hablaremos de los grupos terroristas que tienen, que… no queremos que eso ocurra”, dijo el presidente.\n\n\nPocos asuntos ponen en peligro el incipiente proceso de paz como los combates en curso entre Israel y Hezbollah en el Líbano.\n\n\nEn la conferencia de prensa del martes en Abu Dhabi, Rubio indicó que el proceso de paz allí sería distinto del proceso de paz entre Estados Unidos e Irán.\n\n\n“Bueno, ese proceso es separado”, dijo Rubio. “Es separado, porque el Líbano es un país soberano. Tiene un Gobierno. Y cuando se trata del Líbano y de lo que está ocurriendo dentro del Líbano, vamos a negociar un acuerdo directamente con el Gobierno libanés”.\n\n\nPero eso es difícil de conciliar con el MOU y la explicación de Vance al respecto.\n\n\nNi Israel ni el Gobierno del Líbano eran parte del MOU. Pero el acuerdo pretendía obligar a los “aliados” estadounidenses e iraníes —que sin duda incluirían a Israel y a Hezbollah— a participar en la “terminación inmediata y permanente de las operaciones militares en todos los frentes, incluido el Líbano”.\n\n\nCuando se le pidió que explicara el componente del Líbano del MOU en una sesión informativa en la Casa Blanca la semana pasada, Vance sugirió que vinculaba a Israel y a Hezbollah.\n\n\n“Lo que eso significa es que esperamos que Hezbollah no esté disparando cohetes y lanzando drones contra los israelíes. Y también esperamos que los israelíes no se desborden en el Líbano, ¿verdad?”, dijo Vance. “Ambas partes tienen que cumplir su parte del acuerdo”.\n\n\nTrump y Vance la semana pasada también ejercieron una presión significativa sobre Israel para que no tomara represalias demasiado duras contra Hezbollah. Incluso parecieron amenazar, no tan sutilmente, con retirar el apoyo estadounidense a su aliado de larga data si sus acciones militares arruinaban el proceso de paz con Irán.\n\n\nPero esa postura fue problemática para los halcones conservadores de política exterior, quienes pensaban que la administración estaba, en la práctica, tratando de obligar a Israel a no defenderse de Hezbollah.\n\n\nAsí que Rubio interviene para suavizar las cosas.\n\n\nPero no está claro que su versión sea realmente la postura de la administración.\n\n\nY a medida que da un paso al frente para pronunciarse, eso se está convirtiendo en una tendencia.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Parties were expected to discuss juror questionnaires and jury selection. It is unlikely any discussions of a plea will come up.\n\n\nThe 28-year-old, who is subject to prosecutions in both federal and state courts, has pleaded not guilty to all charges. In the federal case, he faces two stalking charges, with prosecutors arguing he stalked UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson online and traveled across state lines to carry out the killing.\n\n\nThe charges carry a maximum possible sentence of life in prison without parole.\n\n\nNeither Mangione’s attorneys nor the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York immediately returned requests for comment.\n\n\nMangione’s federal trial is expected to follow his case in New York state, where he is slated to stand trial this fall on murder and weapons charges, with jury selection scheduled to begin September 8. If convicted in the state case, he could similarly face a sentence of up to life in prison.\n\n\nBoth cases stem from the death of Thompson, who was fatally shot the morning of December 4, 2024, as he walked to a Midtown Manhattan hotel hosting his company’s annual investors’ conference. Mangione, an Ivy League graduate, was arrested five days later at a McDonald’s restaurant in Altoona, Pennsylvania.\n\n\nMangione and his attorneys have long opposed the dual prosecutions in state and federal court, expressing concern about their ability to adequately prepare for two trials simultaneously.\n\n\nEarlier this year, a US judge dismissed the murder charge in Mangione’s federal indictment, removing the possibility that prosecutors in the Southern District of New York could seek the death penalty if he were convicted at trial.\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional information.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

International ports of entry won't be considered pathways for migrants to apply for asylum.\n\n\n\nThe justices voted 6-3 to overturn a lower court order blocking a practice that limited the number of people who could apply for asylum daily.\n\n\n\nThe policy was used during the first terms of former President Barack Obama and President Trump.\n\n\n\nABC-7 reached out to the Department of Homeland Security and they sent us the following written statement:\n\n\n\n\n“We had to go all the way to SCOTUS to vindicate the principle that an alien is not “in the United States” until he is, in fact, in the United States. We have yet AGAIN been vindicated by the Supreme Court. This decision opens up an important tool to continue securing our southern border,” said Department of Homeland Security's General Counsel James Percival.\n\n\n\n\nA spokesperson with the White House also sent us the following written statement:\n\n\n\n\n“This is a tremendous win for the Trump Administration, the rule of law, and common sense.  President Trump remains committed to lawfully restoring integrity to our immigration system, which includes tackling the egregious abuses to our asylum system that the prior administration encouraged. We will always put the American people first,” said Abigail Jackson WH spokeswoman.\n\n\n\n\nThe Executive Director of Estrella del Paso, Melissa M. Lopez, says the Supreme Court's decision is not a good one for asylum seekers or for people in the region, on both sides of the US-Mexico border.\n\n\n\nThis decision will effectively give officials at the Ports of Entry the ability to turn away anyone seeking asylum, and, according to Executive Director Lopez, this is contrary to hundreds of years of practice along the US-Mexico border, which could have tremendous effects, she added.\n\n\n\n\n\"So what this means is that basically the ports of entry have always been considered US soil and the way that asylum law works is once you're on US soil, you have the right to seek asylum, that's the way asylum laws are written,\" Executive Director Lopez said. \"What the court did today is decide that, effectively, those ports of entry are not U.S. soil, and thus people who are presenting at the bridges, but remember that airports are also considered ports of entry, so that means that anybody who's at an airport, even if the airport is in the middle of the United States, those individuals could be turned away and and be told that they're not able to seek asylum.\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\"We're going to see a lot more people who are going to get pushed into the deserts and we are in the middle of the summer and you know, the summer heat between El Paso and especially the Tucson sector, we're talking very, very hot conditions and unsafe conditions for people and I think that's what decisions like this do when you aroad the lawful process for people to seek asylum, you push them into unsafe conditions,\" Lopez added.\n\n\n\n\nFor Estrella del Paso, these decisions could fuel the criminal element on the border because cartels and transnational criminal organizations will want to benefit from this decision and pursue human trafficking.\n\n\n\n\"It's going to create very unsafe conditions and I do not doubt that we will see deaths as a result of this decision,\" Lopez added.\n\n\n\nThis Supreme Court decision can only be overturned by the Supreme Court itself, making it final and unappealable.\n\n\n\n\n\"I would expect over the course of the next week or two that we'll see some policy decisions or policy announcements come from the Trump administration that will give us some idea as to next steps and how to move forward,\" Lopez added. \"Once we see those policy decisions, then we'll have to decide what legal strategies we're going to take in order to try to help as many people as possible avoid these very harmful new policies.\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\"To be clear, when we talk about helping people avoid harmful policies, we're talking about making legal maneuvers that are lawful, so again, a reminder that, even though we are attorneys who advocate for immigrants, we're still attorneys, we're still bound by the law and so we're not allowed to go outside of the law and I know that's something that gets implied a lot that we are breaking the law by helping people, absolutely we are not,\" Lopez also said. \"We are bound by the law, we work within the law, but we will do everything that we can to ensure that people can avoid some of the harsh consequences that these two decisions today could have on them.\n\nThe post Supreme Court rules to limit asylum requests along US-Mexico border appeared first on KVIA.","url":"https://kvia.com/news/border/2026/06/25/supreme-court-overturns-asylum-policy/","source":"KVIA ABC-7","author":"Heriberto Perez Lara","publishDate":"2026-06-25T23:33:54.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkvia.b-cdn.net%2F2024%2F07%2F4P-VO.00_00_05_01.Still001-Cropped.jpg","slug":"supreme-court-rules-to-limit-asylum-requests-along-us-mexico-border"},{"id":"sftl3","title":"Luigi Mangione’s attorneys discussed plea deal with prosecutors in federal case, source says","excerpt":"By John Miller, CNN\n\n\n(CNN) — Luigi Mangione’s attorneys discussed with prosecutors the possibility of a plea deal in his federal case connected to the December 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare’s chief executive, according to a source familiar with the discussions who spoke on the condition of an...","content":"By John Miller, CNN\n\n\n(CNN) — Luigi Mangione’s attorneys discussed with prosecutors the possibility of a plea deal in his federal case connected to the December 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare’s chief executive, according to a source familiar with the discussions who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the case is ongoing.\n\n\nThe discussions, which are not unusual in any serious federal case, did not result in an agreement, the source said.\n\n\nMangione is due to appear in federal court on Monday. Parties were expected to discuss juror questionnaires and jury selection. It is unlikely any discussions of a plea will come up.\n\n\nThe 28-year-old, who is subject to prosecutions in both federal and state courts, has pleaded not guilty to all charges. In the federal case, he faces two stalking charges, with prosecutors arguing he stalked UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson online and traveled across state lines to carry out the killing.\n\n\nThe charges carry a maximum possible sentence of life in prison without parole.\n\n\nNeither Mangione’s attorneys nor the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York immediately returned requests for comment.\n\n\nMangione’s federal trial is expected to follow his case in New York state, where he is slated to stand trial this fall on murder and weapons charges, with jury selection scheduled to begin September 8. If convicted in the state case, he could similarly face a sentence of up to life in prison.\n\n\nBoth cases stem from the death of Thompson, who was fatally shot the morning of December 4, 2024, as he walked to a Midtown Manhattan hotel hosting his company’s annual investors’ conference. Mangione, an Ivy League graduate, was arrested five days later at a McDonald’s restaurant in Altoona, Pennsylvania.\n\n\nMangione and his attorneys have long opposed the dual prosecutions in state and federal court, expressing concern about their ability to adequately prepare for two trials simultaneously.\n\n\nEarlier this year, a US judge dismissed the murder charge in Mangione’s federal indictment, removing the possibility that prosecutors in the Southern District of New York could seek the death penalty if he were convicted at trial.\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional information.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Streets are set to be blocked off. Invitations have even been issued, per one source. But even the legions of staff who work at and around Madison Square Garden — the massive sports arena in the heart of Manhattan where Taylor Swift is rumored to be celebrating her wedding next weekend — aren’t so sure.\n\n\n“She’s a glamorous girl,” said one NYPD officer positioned outside the Garden. “She wouldn’t get married here.”\n\n\nIndeed, the Garden is a far cry from the venues that have seen celebrity nuptials in the past — think Jeff Bezos taking over Venice to wed Lauren Sánchez or even Dua Lipa in Sicily. The arena is a behemoth hunk of metal in the most tourist-packed part of the city, whose floors have absorbed the sweat and tears of hundreds of athletes and music fans.\n\n\nCNN spoke to a dozen New York Police Department officers stationed around the arena, all of whom were still doubtful that Swift and Travis Kelce will really have some sort of wedding event at the Garden next weekend. That’s despite CNN and other outlets reporting on a mountain of clues pointing to a July 3 Tayvis wedding event.\n\n\nThree security guards at MSG and two Amtrak police officers said the same thing: that if she is celebrating her wedding there, they haven’t heard about it or been told to prepare.\n\n\n“It’s a rumor,” said one officer at adjoining Penn Station. “Why would she get married here?”\n\n\nThe pro-MSG theory is that the arena is something of a fortress, with the security apparatus capable of handling an influx of celeb guests who could enter discreetly via the venue‘s underground entrances, while fans and would-be spectators are kept at a distance.\n\n\nAnd, the thinking goes, if anyone has the budget to transform the venue into something befitting America’s version of a royal wedding, it’s Swift, who became a billionaire in 2023, according to Bloomberg.\n\n\nStill, would she really do it? Some fans aren’t convinced. “Taylor loves her privacy. She loves her fans, but we saw in her last album she also wants her space,” said one lifelong Swiftie. “I just don’t think she’d have her wedding in such a public place.”\n\n\nAnother theory running wild: maybe a fake event at the Garden is an elaborate ruse to distract fans and media from a real wedding elsewhere. Maybe, ponder some fans, guests will be whisked off from MSG to another, more upscale venue — one where the aroma of hot dogs isn’t so strong.\n\n\nOr maybe the pair will tie the knot in private before holding another event — an after party? a surprise concert? — at the arena.\n\n\nA Taylor Swift wedding would be the latest in a series of blockbuster events for the venue, which has seen a visit from President Donald Trump and the New York Knicks’ first championship win in more than 50 years in the last month. Staff members who work at and around the arena said they’re still reeling from weeks of Knicks mania and swarms of World Cup tourists.\n\n\n“A Taylor Swift wedding is going to be huge,” one security guard said. “We’re tired.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

He came under national scrutiny in March after CNN reported on a cache of outlandish comments from his appearances on right-wing podcasts, including the teleportation claim.\n\n\nThe Department of Homeland Security, which oversees FEMA, confirmed Thursday that Phillips is leaving the agency, saying he is taking leave for personal reasons. But sources tell CNN the departure was not voluntary: New DHS leadership had grown weary of the embarrassment surrounding Phillips’ public image and of his periodic clashes with the department’s other leaders.\n\n\nEven so, Phillips had won over some career FEMA officials. When he arrived, then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and her de facto chief of staff Corey Lewandowski were taking aggressive steps to rein in FEMA, shrink the agency and bottleneck funding.\n\n\nFEMA officials said Phillips stood out because he was willing to resist moves that would potentially hobble the agency’s work.\n\n\nThe Washington Post first reported Phillips’ departure.\n\n\nCNN previously reported that Phillips described multiple incidents in which he said he had been physically teleported, including one in which he said he suddenly found himself at a Waffle House roughly 50 miles from where he had been moments earlier.\n\n\nHe later defended those remarks publicly, saying they reflected genuine spiritual experiences and citing biblical examples of supernatural transportation writing in one comment, “haters gonna hate.”\n\n\nPresident Donald Trump later told CNN that Phillips’ claims “sounds a little strange” and said he would look into the matter: “I know nothing about teleporting or him, but I’ll find out about it right now.”\n\n\nCNN also previously reported that Phillips had a long record of inflammatory public statements before joining FEMA, including violent rhetoric directed at political opponents, repeated promotion of false election fraud claims, and comments warning that migrants were coming to kill Americans while urging podcast listeners to arm themselves.\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional details.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Trágico. Pensé que iba a morir. Tuve que tirarme al suelo para clamar a Dios porque fue lo único que se me ocurrió”, dijo la mujer a CNN unas horas después de que dos sismos golpearan Venezuela este miércoles, dejando un saldo que hasta la noche de este jueves se sitúa en al menos 325 personas fallecidas, más de 4.300 heridas y daños materiales aún no cuantificados.\n\n\nCon los ojos aún abiertos por el susto, Díaz contó que sintió el movimiento “como un rugido”. Como pudieron, ella y el resto de su familia lograron salir del edificio, en el que vieron grietas en algunas paredes y de donde pudieron sacar algunas cosas: galletas, agua, ropa interior, pertenencias apenas suficientes para enfrentar los primeros momentos de la emergencia.\n\n\n“Da miedo y eso puede caerse”, dijo Díaz en referencia a su vivienda, al tiempo que reconoció que pasaría la noche en la calle, hasta que ella y los suyos supieran si sería o no seguro volver al inmueble y qué harían después.\n\n\nComo ella, miles de venezolanos más improvisaron campamentos afuera de sus casas. Al temor a regresar al interior se sumó la advertencia que el ministro del Interior, Diosdado Cabello, hizo en un enlace telefónico en la estatal VTV, en el que pidió a los ciudadanos permanecer en exteriores ante la posibilidad de réplicas y hasta que se verifique la solidez de cada construcción.\n\n\nEn recorridos, CNN pudo observar cómo ciudadanos se establecieron en las calles durante la noche, resguardando las pertenencias que pudieron tomar, algunos acompañados de sus mascotas y muchos con numerosas dudas. Por ejemplo, de qué tamaño fue el impacto de los sismos, cómo estarían sus familiares y amigos, y cuánto tiempo tomaría salir de la emergencia.\n\n\nLeandri Salazar, otro habitante de Chacao, describió lo sucedido como “una cosa horrible” y dijo que su familia pudo seguir protocolos de seguridad para ponerse a salvo.\n\n\n“Donde vivo yo está feo. Fui allá y está feo. Nos mandaron a desalojar porque está feo, no hay luz, no hay agua, hay estructuras dañadas”, contó Salazar, mientras las autoridades locales recorrían el municipio, empezaban a evaluar los daños y realizaban las primeras labores de búsqueda y rescate.\n\n\nEl alcalde Gustavo Duque dijo a CNN que, tan solo en un primer vistazo, funcionarios detectaron cuatro edificios colapsados y más de 30 en situación comprometida.\n\n\n“No nos vamos a mover de acá hasta rescatar a la mayor cantidad de personas posible”, aseguró.\n\n\nLos sismos que golpearon Venezuela se registraron durante la tarde del miércoles. El primero fue de 7,2; el segundo, que ocurrió unos 40 segundos después, fue de 7.5.\n\n\nPor la noche, en un primer mensaje a la nación, la presidenta encargada, Delcy Rodríguez, dijo que los movimientos sísmicos habían impactado en prácticamente todo el país. También declaró estado de emergencia, anunció que el Aeropuerto Internacional de Maiquetía permanecería temporalmente cerrado por afectaciones graves en su infraestructura e informó que las clases se suspenderían el resto de la semana.\n\n\nEn ese primer corte informativo, Rodríguez no dio cifras de afectaciones. En cambio, enfatizó que la prioridad del Gobierno sería la búsqueda y rescate de personas con vida.\n\n\nFue hasta algunas horas después, en un segundo mensaje ya durante la madrugada del jueves, que la presidenta encargada brindó los primeros números de la tragedia, uno de los peores siniestros vistos en la historia de Venezuela. Acompañada por altos funcionarios, Rodríguez dijo que hasta ese momento se tenían contabilizadas 32 personas fallecidas y unas 700 heridas, sin considerar a las víctimas que hubiera en el estado La Guaira, el más perjudicado y al que se refirió como “zona de desastre”.\n\n\nPor la mañana, el saldo volvió a aumentar en dos ocasiones, primero a 164 fallecidos con 961 heridos y, más tarde, a los 188 fallecidos y más de 1.500 heridos que se tienen registrados hasta ahora.\n\n\nLos números, sin embargo, aún podrían crecer conforme avancen las horas y las labores de búsqueda y rescate.\n\n\nMientras a lo largo de la tarde y noche del miércoles muchas personas empezaban a observar algunos edificios derrumbados, nubes de polvo, vidrios rotos y otros materiales en las calles de Venezuela, las expresiones de solidaridad desde el exterior no tardaron en llegar.\n\n\nPaíses de América y otros continentes lamentaron lo sucedido e incluso ofrecieron envíos de ayuda humanitaria o cuerpos de rescatistas. Estos ofrecimientos provinieron de gobiernos de todo el espectro político, una situación antes vista en otras situaciones en las que la urgencia de atender una tragedia supera las diferencias ideológicas.\n\n\nAl corte de la tarde de este jueves, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, México y Estados Unidos, entre otras naciones, se alistaban a enviar apoyo a Venezuela, con la expectativa de que la llegada de esas brigadas ocurra en las próximas horas.\n\n\nEl secretario de Defensa de Estados Unidos, Pete Hegseth, dijo en X que, por órdenes del presidente Donald Trump, su departamento y el Departamento de Estado se movilizaron de forma inmediata para ayudar a Venezuela.\n\n\n“Nuestra misión es clara: salvar vidas y rápidamente entregar ayuda crítica donde es más necesaria. Estados Unidos está comprometido con nuestro hemisferio. Cuando las vidas de nuestros amigos están en la línea, Estados Unidos se mueve”, señaló el funcionario, en una muestra más de los acercamientos que Estados Unidos ha tenido con Venezuela desde la captura del presidente Nicolás Maduro el 3 de enero y el ascenso de Rodríguez como presidenta encargada.\n\n\nDesde los primeros momentos posteriores a los sismos, una imagen común ha sido la de ciudadanos tratando de comunicarse con sus seres queridos. Aún a casi 24 horas del siniestro, la tarea sigue sin ser sencilla debido a las fallas eléctricas y las intermitencias en las redes de telecomunicaciones.\n\n\nEsta angustia también la viven muchos venezolanos en el exterior —casi 8 millones, según cifras de la ONU— y se refleja en la apertura de diversas plataformas ciudadanas para reportar a personas que todavía siguen sin ser localizadas.\n\n\nPero incluso quienes saben dónde están sus familiares la están pasando mal en estas horas de urgencia. Un caso es el de Dinorah Escalona, quien este jueves contó a CNN que uno de sus hermanos está atorado entre los restos de su casa en la urbanización Los Corales de la parroquia de Caraballeda, estado La Guaira.\n\n\n“Se quedó atrapado, ahí está en los escombros, no sé bien cómo quedó la casa porque de verdad no he visto”, dijo Escalona, mientras espera que más rescatistas y maquinaria pesada lleguen al lugar para salvar a su familiar.\n\n\nPara ella, al igual que para miles de venezolanos más que buscan a los suyos, la espera aún será larga y difícil de llevar.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

It’s only the second artifact of its kind ever found intact at the site.\n\n\nArchaeologists were digging beneath undisturbed soil layers in June near the Alamo Church in San Antonio when they discovered an undamaged cannonball likely fired from a 6-pound (2.7-kilogram) cannon just 3 feet (nearly 1 meter) below ground. The same team of researchers spotted the first intact cannonball in the area, a 4-pound (1.8-kilogram) bronze relic, about 6 feet (1.8 meters) away in March, a day before the 190th anniversary of the battle.\n\n\nThe Battle of the Alamo was one of the most monumental conflicts of the Texas Revolution, a  rebellion that ended in Texas becoming independent from Mexico and establishing itself as a republic for nearly a decade before US statehood. Texians, Anglo-American colonists who settled in Texas, and Tejanos, Mexican Americans born in Texas, fought side by side against the Mexican army   and defended Texas for 13 days before their defeat at the battle, immortalizing the phrase “Remember the Alamo!”\n\n\nAfter the Battle of the Alamo, the Mexican army ransacked the site and salvaged all the leftover artillery for future military use, ridding the battleground of most of its weaponry.\n\n\nDr. Tiffany Lindley, director of archaeology at the Alamo Trust, led both recent excavations and explained the rare nature of the discoveries.\n\n\n“What’s so amazing about this find is that one, they were missed by the Mexican army,” Lindley said of the recently discovered artifacts. “And then two, they remained untouched for 190 years. And then there they are, they’re still there.”\n\n\nThe researchers studied both cannonballs, noting the different metals, and relied on their historical knowledge of the artillery involved in the battle to assess which cannonball belonged to each side. They believe the bronze one belonged to the Mexican army, while the Texians likely used the iron one, according to Lindley.\n\n\nAreas of the site remain untouched, Lindley said, despite usage, construction and excavations over the years.\n\n\n“Whenever there’s a new artifact discovered from whatever era of that mission, it’s exciting. Not only to the descendants, but everyone else because it highlights our local history,” said Lee Spencer-White, founder and president of the Alamo Defenders Descendants Association.\n\n\nFor some Texans, learning about the history of the Alamo helps them honor their ancestors. The sacrifices made during the battle and the values fought for continue to carry a meaningful impact to this day.\n\n\n‘The voices of the past’\n\n\n\nAfter the Battle of the Alamo, the Mexican army “essentially wiped clean” the site, according to Lindley.\n\n\n“The army went through, and they don’t have the privilege we have today of just going to the store and buying new ammunition,” Lindley said. “They’re going and they were picking up everything that can be salvaged”\n\n\nThe two cannonballs recently found were undetected for nearly two centuries. Later construction on the site left these areas unexplored until this year.\n\n\nToday, the legacy of the Battle of the Alamo continues to live on. The Alamo Trust, a nonprofit that manages the restoration site, announced a $700 million renovation project to preserve the standing original buildings of the Alamo — the Alamo Church and the Long Barrack — and the battleground. In addition, the site will undergo construction of a new visitor center and museum.\n\n\n“We might not be able to preserve all of the artifacts,” Lindley said. “But we’re able to preserve that knowledge and make sure that the voices of the past are still being spoken today.”\n\n\nThe museum and visitor center are expected to open in the spring of 2028 and feature artifacts from the Battle of the Alamo. The Alamo stands as one of five missions known as the San Antonio Missions that are part of a UNESCO World Heritage site, an honor that signifies the cultural and historical importance of the landmark.\n\n\n“Discoveries like this validate, they reinforce the consciousness of the battle,” said Dr. Andrés Tijerina, professor of history emeritus at Austin Community College.\n\n\nFor many Texans, the rallying cry “Remember the Alamo” is more than just a phrase, but a call to action to learn and immerse themselves in the history of the battle.\n\n\n“Being in the Alamo Chapel, people actually record and report that they have a sort of spiritual feeling, a sense of actually feeling the souls, the spirit of the men and women who were engaged in the battle,” Tijerina added. “They can actually feel the drama of the battle. That’s what these artifacts do.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

The event, according to the US Geological Survey, was a rare phenomenon called a “doublet” that contained not one but two major earthquakes.\n\n\nDoublets occur when two quakes of similar magnitude happen in close succession — potentially causing more damage than a single quake. In this instance, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake shook northern Venezuela and was followed by a 7.5-magnitude quake only 39 seconds later.\n\n\n“Double earthquakes are very destructive,” said Raul Perez-Lopez, an earthquake scientist at Madrid’s Geological and Mining Institute of Spain. “The main difference is that double earthquakes have similar energy, whereas (a) single earthquake and (smaller) aftershocks are lesser in energy.”\n\n\nYet some researchers speculate additional data over the coming days could reveal that the event was caused by one large earthquake instead of a duo. The difference between one long earthquake and a twinned pair may not matter in terms of human outcomes, but it could teach scientists a lot about this uncommon occurrence and predicting the severity of earthquakes.\n\n\n“It’s going to take probably some days or longer for the seismologists to really piece out the event,” said Judith Hubbard, an earthquake scientist at Cornell University who analyzed the recent seismic activity, “and then they may not have a conclusive idea of, ‘was it one earthquake or two earthquakes?’”\n\n\nDoublets are rare, although this region isn’t a stranger to them. A weaker doublet — 6.2- and 6.3-magnitude earthquakes — struck there in September 2025, according to USGS.\n\n\n“We don’t really have a good sense of which faults produce doublets and which ones don’t — or whether there even is a fault type that produces doublets,” Hubbard said. “They don’t happen frequently enough for us to be able to come up with a rule of thumb.”\n\n\nEarthquakes occur when two moving tectonic plates become stuck, build tension and then suddenly release the pent-up energy. Wednesday’s tremors occurred on the boundary between the Caribbean and South American plates, which have been slipping at a rate of around 20 millimeters per year. Northern Venezuela often experiences large, damaging earthquakes, but, over the past century, the region has only experienced seven earthquakes of magnitude 6 or greater.\n\n\nBecause of the quick succession of Wednesday’s quakes, Hubbard said confirming there were two earthquakes could be difficult with the preliminary data — and there are other possible explanations for what scientists see on seismographs currently.\n\n\nFor starters, a large 7.5-magnitude earthquake doesn’t typically happen all at once, she said. Such a major quake starts at one location and propagates along the fault, rupturing different parts at different times. In Venezuela’s case, the first pulse — responsible for the 7.2 quake — could have triggered a domino effect of pulses that turned into the larger sequel.\n\n\nShe said an earthquake takes about 30 to 40 seconds to complete usually, but “because that larger pulse happened inside the shaking of the first one, it was really hard to see” in the current data.\n\n\nIf these were two pulses of a single rupture, Hubbard said the event could be equivalent to a magnitude-7.6 quake.\n\n\nIn the preliminary reporting so far though, USGS painted a picture of two distinct quakes about 5 to 10 kilometers (3 to 6 miles) apart — setting up the possibility that one triggered the other. Despite the proximity, the agency proposed that faults behind the quakes slipped with opposite motions.\n\n\n“The seismic data is ambiguous,” said Hubbard. “You can’t tell the difference between these two fault orientations and slip directions” until more data comes in.\n\n\nSeveral, less intense aftershocks have since occurred near Caracas, which could provide clarity. If the aftershocks are rupturing in similar patterns as the initial tremors, she said it could confirm if the proposed orientations are accurate or not.\n\n\nConfirming what happened on the ground could be tricky amid the damage. Especially in the area around Caracas, underground sediments may have slowed and amplified seismic waves, leading to increased destructive power. In addition, sinking ground could lead to additional damage to building foundations. The region lacks extensive seismic networks, and power outages in major hubs could further delay efforts. Satellite data, which should be available in the coming days, may reveal the fault movements and offer more clues about the faults that were ruptured.\n\n\nDespite being rare, doublet earthquakes spark attention when they happen. In 2023, a pair of 7.8- and 7.7-magnitude earthquakes struck Turkey and Syria. They occurred nine hours apart and caused widespread damage.\n\n\nHubbard expects this event will be heavily studied in the scientific community and could help scientists better estimate how big an earthquake could grow just from the first few seconds of a rupture.\n\n\n“Everything we know about earthquakes comes from case studies of large earthquakes like this one,” said Hubbard. “Even when there’s very little data, we’ve managed to learn a lot of things.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Those models raised fears in Washington and on Wall Street over their advanced  cybersecurity capabilities, which some worry could lead to unprecedented safety risks.\n\n\nOpenAI and the administration view OpenAI’s latest model as “on par” with Mythos, according to the source. OpenAI agreed to limit the model’s release as a path toward launching it publicly during a “strange moment” with no true federal regulatory framework in place for new AI models.\n\n\nThe Information, which first reported the Trump administration’s request, cited a memo OpenAI CEO Sam Altman sent to the company on Thursday, in which he said the government is approving access “customer by customer.”\n\n\n“We’ve made clear to the U.S. government that this is not our preferred long term model, and will work with them and others in industry to achieve a more sustainable approach for future releases,” Altman said in the memo, according to The Information.\n\n\nA White House official told CNN they continue “to collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology.”\n\n\nOpenAI declined to comment.\n\n\nThough President Donald Trump signed an executive order earlier this month that asked AI companies with advanced models to voluntarily submit them for government review 30 days before release, the framework for that has not been established.\n\n\nIn the interim, there’s confusion among AI companies on who or which agency is directing AI regulation. The request to OpenAI came from the White House, whereas the export control ban on Anthropic came from the Commerce Department.\n\n\nThe government should be involved in conversations about AI safety, especially those that impact national security, experts say. But as it stands, there is no transparent, consistent framework for regulating AI – and experts fret that could stifle the industry.\n\n\n“The Fable episode shows the need for clear regulations. Right now, you have an ad hoc, personalized, opaque, possibly lawless approach,” Brad Carson, head of Public First, a bipartisan pro-AI safety super PAC told CNN last week. “It is certainly appropriate for the government to recall dangerous products, including AI models, but it has to be done in a way consistent with transparency and basic fairness.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Though Bates did not make an official recommendation for the bond, he broke down three potential proposals totaling $445.8 million.\n\n\n\nThe presentation comes a week after the EPISD board voted to lay off 55 employees under financial exigency to slash expenses and address a deficit that was expected to nearly deplete the district’s savings. A third-party audit, conducted by educational consultant firm MoakCasey, found the district’s financial crisis was caused in part by poor budget tracking practices that had persisted for several years.\n\n\n\n“I think it’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity to change what our schools look and feel like for the next generation of El Paso’s kids,” bond committee Chair Georgina Williams told El Paso Matters ahead of the meeting. “If a bond does go forward, and if these trustees put it to the ballot, it’s going to be El Paso that decides, and El Paso has always shown up for its own, and that’s what we may be potentially asking them to do again.”\n\n\n\nBates presented three potential propositions: Proposition A would ask for $409.6 million to upgrade cooling systems, address deferred maintenance, install solar at four elementary schools, improve playgrounds and add green space, among other upgrades. Proposition B would ask for $10.6 million to purchase technological devices for students and teachers, and Proposition C would call for about $25.6 million to renovate athletic stadiums.\n\n\n\nDistrict officials plan to give official bond recommendations in early August. The EPISD board is expected to vote Aug. 11 on whether to call for an election.\n\n\n\nBates said the recommended bond would likely range between $430 million and $450 million and claimed a bond would not likely increase the district’s tax rate.\n\n\n\n“Our financial adviser is running the actual numbers of what a zero tax increase would get us,” Bates told El Paso Matters.\n\n\n\nThough Bates said a bond would not increase the tax rate – the amount charged per $100 of property valuation – homeowners’ tax bills may still increase due in large part to rising home valuations.\n\n\n\nBates said he will have more details in the coming weeks on how a bond would impact homeowners’ tax bills, and plans to create a tax calculator for residents to get an idea of how it would affect them.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEPISD voters last approved a bond in 2016 worth $668 million to renovate schools and rightsize the district. Under the bond, the district closed and consolidated several elementary and middle schools and replaced them with pre-k through eighth-grade campuses. The bond was plagued with payment and construction delays.\n\n\n\nDistrict officials earlier this month said the district still had bond money to rebuild Bliss Elementary that had not been spent since it was approved a decade ago.\n\n\n\nBates said his experience working with bigger districts will ensure similar delays don’t happen again.\n\n\n\n“Go back and look at the $5.5 billion that I managed in Dallas, and you won’t find the problem. I think I’ll be able to take care of $400 million here,” Bates said.\n\n\n\nCommittee recommendations\n\n\n\nThe recommendations for the bond and the master plan were made with guidance from the EPISD Citizens Bond Steering Committee, made up of parents, union leaders and residents from within the district’s boundaries.\n\n\n\nThe steering committee comprises six subcommittees with different focuses, including technology, safety and security, finance, student experience, athletics and capital renewal.\n\n\n\nThe district’s priorities within the next two years include converting all evaporative coolers into refrigerated air conditioning, safety and security improvements, structural repairs and replacing outdated equipment, including fire alarms.\n\n\n\nWithin the next three to five years, the district plans to repair or replace windows, doors, ceilings, sidewalks, masonry and exterior lighting, as well as paint school interiors. In six to 10 years, the district plans to replace lighting with energy-efficient LED fixtures, replace electrical panelboards and transformers and replace elevators.\n\n\n\nUnder the master plan, the district also plans to install fire suppression systems where they currently don’t exist and install solar panels in 13 of its schools.\n\n\n\nThe district estimated installing solar panels in four schools would cost about $1.4 million, but could be reduced to about $800,800 with federal incentives. It would cost about $21.8 million to install solar panels in all 69 of its campuses, which could be reduced to $13 million with federal incentives.\n\n\n\nThe district plans to rebuild Bliss Elementary School, located on Fort Bliss, primarily using funds provided by the U.S. Department of Defense.\n\n\n\nEPISD officials are also considering demolishing six closed campuses to turn the land into green spaces and using some of them, including Beall Elementary School which was shuttered in 2019, to expand its pre-kindergarten program.\n\n\n\nWhile committee members disagreed on some aspects of how the bond should be spent, Amanecer People’s Project Director Ana Fuentes said most believed air conditioning improvements were a non-negotiable inclusion.\n\n\n\nThe “Escuelas Frescas” campaign, launched by Amanecer People’s Project, has a list of 22 El Paso ISD school that they say still run on evaporative air, July 20, 2024. (Corrie Boudreaux/El Paso Matters)\n\n\n\nAmanecer, a local environmental nonprofit, launched the Escuelas Frescas campaign in 2024 to push EPISD to upgrade outdated cooling systems in dozens of middle and elementary schools.\n\n\n\n“Even folks who sometimes we would think wouldn’t be aligned, we all agree on the need to address this HVAC problem immediately, so that’s also why I feel more hopeful about how things will go in November,” Fuentes told El Paso Matters.\n\n\n\nEPISD parent and bond committee member, Diana Ramirez, said they want the district to use the Community Resource Index — which gives campuses a rating based on the number of resources in the neighborhood, such as parks, libraries, healthcare clinics and transportation access — to prioritize the higher-need schools first.\n\n\n\nThe schools at the bottom quartile of the index, with the least resources nearby, are primarily located in South Central El Paso. This includes Guillen Middle School, Hawkins and Douglass elementary schools, Bowie High School, the San Jacinto Adult Learning Center and the Telles Academy alternative school.\n\n\n\nBefore the presentation, some committee members, including Fuentes, praised the district’s transparency throughout the steering process.\n\n\n\n“The process was much different than other interactions with the district that we’ve had, much more transparency,” Fuentes said.\n\n\n\nMost of the information presented Tuesday can be found on the district’s website, along with information on previous steering committee meetings and details on the conditions and needs at each individual campus.\n\n\n\nOthers, including Familia Unidas Por la Educacion organizer Hilda Villegas, were skeptical of the accuracy of the information used to design the long-range master plan. Familia Unidas is a grassroots educational advocacy organization focused on the Chamizal neighborhood in South Central El Paso.\n\n\n\nOne of Villegas’ main concerns is that the district’s most recent assessments of campus conditions were conducted under the previous Superintendent Diana Sayavedra, who spearheaded a plan to close schools to address declining enrollment. Under the plan, known as Destination District Redesign, EPISD planned to improve the school that remained open through a bond.\n\n\n\nFamilias Unidas del Chamizal por la Educación, a grassroots parental advocacy group based in Central El Paso, stand outside the EPISD administrative building in June 2025 to denounce an equity audit it says fails to adequately show inequities in South and Central district schools. (Claudia Lorena Silva / El Paso Matters)\n\n\n\nThe assessment found the district has three campuses that are in critical condition and 27 in poor condition.\n\n\n\nShe also worries the plan won’t be sufficient to address the needs of schools in some of the city’s most disadvantaged neighborhoods.\n\n\n\n“We’re in the worst condition ever, and right now their whole idea that they need to pass the bond for deferred maintenance is good for us. But there is no plan to address the historic neglect in the barrio, and to rebuild the Bowie feeder pattern due to the neglect,” Villegas said.\nThe post EPISD eyes up to $450 million bond election, outlines $1 billion in long-term needs appeared first on El Paso Matters.","url":"https://elpasomatters.org/2026/06/23/el-paso-isd-episd-bond-election-recommendations-2026/","source":"El Paso Matters","author":"Claudia Lorena Silva","publishDate":"2026-06-24T03:52:00.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi0.wp.com%2Felpasomatters.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F06%2FCB_EPISD-7.jpg%3Ffit%3D1024%252C683%26ssl%3D1","slug":"episd-eyes-up-to-450-million-bond-election-outlines-1-billion-in-long-term-needs"},{"id":"xbtrz5","title":"En fotos: Las labores de rescate avanzan contrarreloj en Caracas y La Guaira tras los fuertes terremotos en Venezuela","excerpt":"Por Rocío Muñoz-Ledo, CNN en Español\n\n\nUn día después de que dos fuertes terremotos consecutivos sacudieran Venezuela, rescatistas, bomberos y voluntarios continúan las labores de búsqueda entre edificios colapsados en Caracas y el estado costero de La Guaira, declarado zona de desastre por la pr...","content":"Por Rocío Muñoz-Ledo, CNN en Español\n\n\nUn día después de que dos fuertes terremotos consecutivos sacudieran Venezuela, rescatistas, bomberos y voluntarios continúan las labores de búsqueda entre edificios colapsados en Caracas y el estado costero de La Guaira, declarado zona de desastre por la presidenta encargada, Delcy Rodríguez.\n\n\nEn las primeras horas, consideradas las más decisivas tras un sismo, muchos vecinos se han sumado como voluntarios a los equipos de emergencia que trabajan contrarreloj para encontrar con vida a quienes permanecen atrapados bajo los escombros, mientras las réplicas y la falta de maquinaria pesada dificultan las operaciones.\n\n\nJorge Rodríguez, presidente de la Asamblea Nacional, actualizó más temprano este jueves el número de fallecidos a 188 y detalló que hay más de 200 personas atrapadas bajo los escombros y al menos 157 personas permanecen desaparecidas.\n\n\nAnte la magnitud del desastre, equipos especializados de búsqueda y rescate de Estados Unidos, México, Colombia, España y otros países comenzaron a movilizarse hacia el país sudamericano, en coordinación con las autoridades venezolanas y la Organización de las Naciones Unidas.\n\n\nEn Caracas, en una zona donde colapsaron cuatro edificios, voluntarios distribuyen agua y alimentos mientras continúan las tareas de búsqueda.

In Conference USA, most UTEP games were streamed on ESPN Plus. In the Mountain West, while some games will be televised on linear channels, fans who want to watch every UTEP game will have to sign up for the new Mountain West Plus.\n\n\n\nHowever, the difference between the two streaming services is that now UTEP will get a cut from subscribers who sign up and specify they follow the Miners.\n\n\n\n\"We have a chance to earn money from those subscriptions,\" Senter said. \"It's right about 60% of all the money that everybody pays will be coming back to UTEP in the form of a subscription fee. And in an ideal world, we would like to lead the Mountain West Conference in the number of subscriptions. You would think we could do that.\"\n\n\n\nThese changes will start with this upcoming football season.\n\n\n\nChanges are also in store for the fan experience with giveaways, special food items and even drone shows!\n\n\n\nThe student section and marching band will also see changes. Both will now be seated right behind the opposing team's bench.\n\n\n\nHowever, investment is still the name of the game for UTEP.\n\n\n\nThis season UTEP is projecting a revenue-sharing pool of $3.45 million dollars.\n\n\n\nIt's a good start, but when compared to fellow Mountain West Conference rival UNLV, the difference is staggering.\n\n\n\nUNLV projects its revenue sharing pool to be at nearly $11 million this season.\n\n\n\n\"We've been able to increase probably two to three times the amount of money that we've been able to do,\" Senter said. \"We think that has allowed us to recruit some better players in addition to having better recruiting battles with folks (other schools), but there is always somebody with a bigger checkbook.\" \n\n\n\nSenter enters the Mountain West era under a new contract.\n\n\n\nWhile some question whether he deserved it, Senter remains committed to building winning programs at UTEP.\n\n\n\n\"I'll be judged by that I understand that some people will think it's good, some others will not think it's good, but I'm appreciative of the contract and the extension,\" Senter said. \"I will continue to work my tail off to do the best job that I can.\" \n\n\n\nWatch \"Mountain Bound\" above.\nThe post Mountain Bound: UTEP Athletic Director prepares for journey to the Mountain West Conference appeared first on KVIA.","url":"https://kvia.com/sports/2026/06/25/mountain-bound-utep-athletic-director-prepares-for-journey-to-the-mountain-west-conference/","source":"KVIA ABC-7","author":"Adrian Ochoa","publishDate":"2026-06-25T21:50:11.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkvia.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2Fmountain-bound.png","slug":"mountain-bound-utep-athletic-director-prepares-for-journey-to-the-mountain-west-conference"},{"id":"7x5s1o","title":"La muerte del árbol que dio vida a Robin Hood: cómo el bosque de Sherwood mantiene viva una leyenda de siglos","excerpt":"Por Julia Buckley, CNN\n\n\nDurante los últimos 30 años, Ade Andrews ha aprendido el secreto para viajar en el tiempo: adentrarse en el bosque de Sherwood y encontrarse en la Edad Media.\n\n\nEl hogar mítico de Robin Hood ocupó titulares la semana pasada tras la muerte del Major Oak, un árbol de 1.000 ...","content":"Por Julia Buckley, CNN\n\n\nDurante los últimos 30 años, Ade Andrews ha aprendido el secreto para viajar en el tiempo: adentrarse en el bosque de Sherwood y encontrarse en la Edad Media.\n\n\nEl hogar mítico de Robin Hood ocupó titulares la semana pasada tras la muerte del Major Oak, un árbol de 1.000 años de antigüedad ubicado en el bosque y considerado el lugar donde, según la leyenda, el célebre héroe se escondía junto a sus alegres compañeros.\n\n\nAunque este vínculo físico con la leyenda ha desaparecido, la fascinación mundial por el hombre que robaba a los ricos para dar a los pobres sigue tan viva como siempre. Desde las baladas medievales hasta las películas, el mundo continúa cautivado por esta escurridiza figura. Una nueva interpretación cinematográfica, esta vez protagonizada por Hugh Jackman en “The Death of Robin Hood”, se estrenó en Estados Unidos el 19 de junio. Hoy, Robin Hood es mucho más que folclore: es un destino de peregrinación que atrae a viajeros, aficionados a la historia y fans del cine al bosque inglés.\n\n\nPero, ¿quién fue el verdadero Robin Hood? ¿Era el forajido honorable y romántico popularizado por los medios modernos o un brutal delincuente medieval que actuaba sin provocación?\n\n\nLa muerte del Major Oak marca un punto de inflexión simbólico para una leyenda que evolucionó de un bandido desacreditado del siglo XIII a un fenómeno global de la cultura popular valorado en miles de millones de dólares y en un importante motor turístico para Inglaterra.\n\n\nDesde su copa de 28 metros de altura, el árbol fue testigo de gran parte de la historia inglesa moderna: desde la conquista normanda hasta la Guerra Civil inglesa, la Revolución Industrial e incluso el Brexit.\n\n\nY lo hizo en un entorno que parece haber cambiado muy poco desde su apogeo medieval: 400 enormes robles centenarios siguen en pie, rodeados de sicómoros, abedules plateados, fresnos y brezales. El bosque de Sherwood actual puede ser solo una fracción de su tamaño original —se redujo de 100.000 acres a los 800 actuales—, pero conserva su núcleo histórico original, explica Andrews. Entrar en él es como ingresar en otro mundo.\n\n\n“Es un paisaje mágico”, dice Andrews. “Se siente como un lugar completamente diferente. En la ciudad estás en el siglo XXI, en una jungla de concreto. En Sherwood Forest, en cuanto dejas el centro de visitantes y tomas el sendero entre los robles, retrocedes en el tiempo”.\n\n\n“No necesitas imaginarlo. Tu mente está receptiva a la experiencia de estar en el pasado”.\n\n\nAndrews ha recorrido Sherwood Forest durante más de tres décadas. Trabajó seis años como guardabosques patrimonial antes de convertirse en Robin Hood. Historiador y actor, se viste como el forajido más famoso del mundo para guiar a los visitantes por el centro de Nottingham y llevarlos a lo que él describe como el “mundo mágico y medieval” de Sherwood Forest, situado a unos 40 kilómetros, o una hora en automóvil, al norte de la ciudad.\n\n\nAunque la ciudad moderna de Nottingham guarda pocas similitudes con la localidad medieval mencionada en las leyendas —aunque todavía conserva un sheriff ceremonial—, el bosque es el lugar donde el pasado cobra vida.\n\n\nAl partir desde el moderno centro de visitantes, los viajeros retroceden diez siglos durante los 20 minutos que toma llegar al Major Oak.\n\n\n“Se percibía que su fuerza vital estaba disminuyendo, que se acercaba su final”, afirma Andrews, quien desarrolló una estrecha relación con el árbol durante décadas. “Pero eso también forma parte de la vida, ¿no es así? Incluso después de morir, sigue dando vida al bosque, y su historia continúa desarrollándose”.\n\n\nLa historia del árbol está inseparablemente ligada a la de Robin Hood. El forajido que robaba a los ricos para ayudar a los pobres ha dado origen, a lo largo de los siglos, a innumerables leyendas.\n\n\nEl nombre de Robin Hood apareció por primera vez en la conciencia pública de la Inglaterra medieval tardía, explica Allen W. Wright, quien creó el sitio web Bold Outlaw dedicado a Robin Hood en 1997.\n\n\nEn “Piers Plowman”, un poema de la década de 1370, un personaje menciona que no conoce el Padrenuestro, pero sí conoce algunos poemas sobre Robin Hood.\n\n\nSe trata de un recurso literario útil para presentar a este personaje como alguien de mala reputación: no solo es irreligioso, sino también admirador de bandidos. El Robin Hood al que se alude aquí ciertamente no es la fuerza para el bien que Andrews —quien hoy encarna al personaje en Nottingham— cree que fue.\n\n\n“Desde la primera referencia literaria tiene una reputación poco respetable”, dice Wright sobre Robin Hood. Pero, ¿significa eso que realmente existió?\n\n\nExisten algunos rastros de un posible Robin Hood en la vida real, y aparecen antes de esa primera mención literaria, lo que sugiere que la referencia en “Piers Plowman” quizá no era pura ficción. En 1262, un hombre llamado “William Robehod” fue juzgado por hurto en Reading, una ciudad situada al oeste de Londres y a unos 190 kilómetros al sur de Nottingham.\n\n\nMás personas con “Robynhod” como apellido aparecen mencionadas durante el siglo XIII. De acuerdo con el historiador David Crook, se trataba de un apellido poco común, lo que podría sugerir una conexión histórica. “Esto apunta a que la leyenda ya era conocida 100 años antes de que tengamos una referencia clara en relatos o rimas”, afirma Wright sobre estas primeras menciones.\n\n\nRobin Hood aparece tanto en textos históricos como en baladas de ficción. En un texto de 1420 que sitúa los hechos en la década de 1280, Robin es mencionado como un forajido que vivía junto a Little John en Barnsdale, en Yorkshire, en el norte de Inglaterra y a unos 100 kilómetros al norte de Nottingham. Cuarenta años después, otro libro histórico, el “Scotichronicon”, lo describe como un “famoso degollador” que vivió en 1266.\n\n\nHasta aquí, nada particularmente atractivo.\n\n\nSin embargo, llámese el atractivo del chico malo, durante la segunda mitad del siglo XV comenzaron a aparecer por toda Inglaterra baladas que romantizaban a Robin Hood. Seguía siendo un forajido, pero ya no era presentado como un asesino despiadado. De hecho, era un yeoman, una figura social situada entre un campesino y un noble.\n\n\nEn “A Lytell Geste of Robyn Hode”, una balada escrita en inglés medio alrededor de 1450 —también conocida como “A Gest of Robyn Hode”— se establecieron muchos de los elementos centrales de la historia: los orígenes de su vida fuera de la ley (tras disparar contra algunos sirvientes del rey durante una competencia de tiro con arco), la presentación de sus alegres compañeros y su muerte a manos de una monja intrigante. La balada pide que descanse en paz, “porque fue un buen forajido”.\n\n\n“Era entretenimiento popular”, afirma Wright.\n\n\nA partir de entonces, la leyenda despegó. Desde finales del siglo XV, Robin Hood se convirtió en un personaje popular para disfrazarse durante ferias y festivales de pueblos. Las baladas de Robin Hood pasaron a formar parte habitual de las celebraciones de primavera y del 1 de mayo, explica Tom Hahn, profesor emérito de literatura inglesa de la Universidad de Rochester y fundador de la Asociación Internacional de Estudios sobre Robin Hood. La universidad también alberga el Proyecto Robin Hood, una base de datos de antiguos textos relacionados con la leyenda.\n\n\nDurante el siglo XVI, un obispo escandalizado escribió que encontró cerrada la puerta de una iglesia en una festividad religiosa en una de sus parroquias porque todos los habitantes habían salido a celebrar el “día de Robin Hood”. En 1510, incluso el rey Enrique VIII se disfrazó de Robin Hood para sorprender a su esposa.\n\n\nEra una señal de que la leyenda estaba llegando a las clases altas. Robin Hood se convirtió repentinamente en protagonista de obras de teatro. Pero, aunque pasó a ser entretenimiento para personas alfabetizadas, su atractivo siguió siendo amplio.\n\n\n“Para finales del siglo XVII comenzaron a publicarse recopilaciones muy baratas que se vendían a bajo precio: una amplia colección de baladas que a menudo empezaban con él convirtiéndose en forajido y terminaban con su muerte”, explica Hahn. “Eso continuó durante los siglos XVIII y XIX”.\n\n\nCon tantas referencias a lo largo de un período tan extenso, ¿no apunta eso a alguien que realmente existió?\n\n\n“Nadie está completamente seguro de que Robin Hood haya sido real… salvo quienes tienen un libro que vender”, dice Wright, quien considera que la figura “quizás” tenga sus raíces en una persona real.\n\n\nSi Robin Hood existió realmente, es posible que haya vivido lejos de Sherwood Forest. La mejor hipótesis de Wright sobre la identidad del verdadero Robin —“la mejor apuesta entre las sombras”, como él mismo la describe— apunta a un forajido de Yorkshire llamado Roberd Hood que vivió en la década de 1220. De acuerdo con Wright, este personaje aparece en registros históricos durante varios años identificado como “forajido”. Y como esos documentos son anteriores a las baladas, no puede tratarse de alguien que hubiera adoptado el nombre inspirado en la leyenda. “Las pruebas siguen siendo muy circunstanciales”, reconoce Wright sobre la posible fama histórica de Roberd Hood. “Pero es una teoría mejor que las demás candidaturas”.\n\n\nRespecto a cómo la historia terminó trasladándose unos 110 kilómetros al sur, hasta Nottingham, Wright señala que un sheriff de York del siglo XIII había sido anteriormente sheriff adjunto de Nottingham, lo que podría explicar parte de la confusión.\n\n\nMás importante aún, las primeras versiones de la leyenda sugieren que Robin comenzó su historia más al norte, concretamente en Barnsdale, una zona del actual South Yorkshire que también contaba con bosques, antes de que el relato se desplazara hacia Nottingham.\n\n\nSi Roberd Hood fue realmente la inspiración de la leyenda, no parece haber sido una persona particularmente amable. Hahn señala que los relatos más antiguos contenían “un énfasis en la violencia, a veces sin provocación alguna”.\n\n\nNo obstante, como sabe cualquiera que haya visto una película de Hollywood, no todos los villanos son percibidos de la misma manera.\n\n\n“Es un poco como los westerns que surgieron en Estados Unidos durante el siglo XIX. Existe una clara sensación de ser un forajido en una sociedad sin ley”, explica Hahn.\n\n\nCon el paso del tiempo, la leyenda se fue suavizando, quizá debido al creciente escepticismo popular hacia las autoridades. Cuando Enrique VIII ya se disfrazaba de Robin Hood, había surgido la idea de Robin como héroe, “de la misma manera que las estrellas de los westerns o incluso algunos gánsteres pueden convertirse en héroes”, afirma Wright.\n\n\n“Ayuda que las personas contra las que lucha sean más corruptas que él. El sheriff no cumple su palabra, pero el forajido sí. La leyenda prospera gracias a esa ironía: Robin sigue siendo más honorable que quienes supuestamente representan el bien”.\n\n\nDel mismo modo, el romance no formaba parte de la historia original de Robin Hood. “Desde sus primeras versiones fue una historia de hombres entre hombres”, señala Hahn. Pero a medida que Robin y sus alegres compañeros dejaron de ser asesinos despiadados para convertirse en pícaros entrañables, surgió espacio para un interés amoroso: Lady Marian, quien apareció en la leyenda hacia el siglo XVIII.\n\n\nAunque Robin Hood siempre fue un héroe popular inglés, Hahn sostiene que fue un estadounidense quien lo convirtió en la figura global que conocemos hoy. En 1883, el escritor e ilustrador estadounidense Howard Pyle publicó “The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood of Great Renown in Nottinghamshire”.\n\n\nNo se trataba de una balada popular de bajo costo, sino de un libro de lujo publicado por Scribner’s, en el que Pyle reinterpretó el contenido de los poemas para convertirlo en una novela apta para toda la familia. La obra tuvo un “éxito inmediato”, afirma Hahn, quien añade que también “americanizó” la leyenda. Además, la suavizó. “Convirtió a Robin Hood en un buen tipo”.\n\n\nAl libro de Pyle le siguió en 1922 una película muda protagonizada por Douglas Fairbanks en el papel de Robin Hood. El actor tituló modestamente la producción “Douglas Fairbanks in Robin Hood”. Fue la primera película de la historia en tener un estreno oficial en Hollywood.\n\n\nA partir de entonces, la industria cinematográfica adoptó la leyenda con entusiasmo. En 1938, Errol Flynn se enfundó sus famosas mallas. En 1976, Sean Connery interpretó a un Robin Hood envejecido junto a Audrey Hepburn como Lady Marian en “Robin and Marian”. En 1991 llegó Kevin Costner como Robin Hood, mientras la canción principal de Bryan Adams, “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You”, conquistó al mundo. Permaneció durante 16 semanas consecutivas en el primer puesto de la lista de sencillos del Reino Unido, una marca que aún no ha sido igualada.\n\n\nEn 2010 fue el turno de Russell Crowe, bajo la dirección de Ridley Scott. Mientras tanto, algunas de las actrices más destacadas de Hollywood, entre ellas Naomie Harris, Cate Blanchett, Uma Thurman y, en la película de 2026, Jodie Comer, han acompañado a distintas versiones de Robin Hood en la pantalla. Y es imposible olvidar la adaptación animada de Disney de 1973, con el fallecido Peter Ustinov dando voz tanto al rey Juan como al rey Ricardo, y con un Robin Hood convertido en zorro e interpretado por Brian Bedford.\n\n\nHoy, Robin Hood ha impregnado la cultura popular contemporánea. Si se busca “Robin Hood” en IMDb, aparecen literalmente decenas de películas sobre el entrañable forajido que robaba a los ricos para ayudar a los pobres.\n\n\nIncluso algunos simpatizantes de Luigi Mangione, acusado del homicidio de Brian Thompson, CEO de UnitedHealthcare, lo presentaron como una especie de Robin Hood moderno.\n\n\nNo resulta sorprendente. “La industria cinematográfica ha convertido a Robin Hood en un tema de la cultura popular internacional”, afirma Hahn.\n\n\nLas diferentes versiones de Robin Hood también revelan aspectos de nuestras propias sociedades, agrega. Hasta el siglo XX, Robin Hood era un personaje principalmente abordado por hombres. No obstante, posteriormente comenzaron a aparecer novelas sobre Robin Hood escritas por mujeres. No se trata únicamente del romance con Lady Marian o de la imagen de una Marian disfrazada que puede competir en igualdad de condiciones con los hombres, explica Hahn. Incluso la idea que tenemos hoy de la hermandad entre los alegres compañeros de Robin Hood puede estar influenciada por esas autoras. De acuerdo con Hahn, ellas ofrecieron “nuevas formas de representar los vínculos y la solidaridad”.\n\n\nAunque la existencia real de Robin Hood sigue siendo motivo de debate, no faltan lugares relacionados con el personaje para visitar en Nottingham.\n\n\nA unos 32 kilómetros al norte de la ciudad, Sherwood Forest alberga una de las mayores concentraciones de “robles ancestrales” de Europa occidental, una denominación que reciben los árboles cuando alcanzan los 400 años de antigüedad. Más allá de la imagen de forajidos refugiándose en sus troncos, cada uno de estos árboles puede albergar miles de especies de insectos, hongos, aves y mamíferos, y funcionar como “ciudades en miniatura”, según la Real Sociedad para la Protección de las Aves, organización benéfica que administra el lugar como reserva natural.\n\n\nEl Major Oak permanecerá en el lugar para descomponerse gradualmente en un proceso que tomará años. “Le llevará varias décadas degradarse, y será algo extraordinario observar cómo el ‘rey de los reyes’ se va apagando”, afirma Andrews. “Las ramas más pequeñas se desprenderán a medida que el cambio climático traiga lluvias más intensas. Las ramas más grandes permanecerán durante más tiempo. A medida que se degrade, será una obra de arte viva dentro del paisaje, con una enorme historia que contar”.\n\n\nAunque el Major Oak sucumbió al paso del tiempo, sus más de 400 compañeros continúan fuertes y siguen transmitiendo la misma atmósfera especial, dice Andrews. Uno de ellos, el Parliament Oak, también se cree que tiene unos 1.000 años de antigüedad. Su nombre proviene de que fue utilizado como lugar improvisado para reuniones parlamentarias durante el siglo XIII.\n\n\nEs posible que también se cruce con Andrews durante alguna de sus visitas guiadas. Es difícil no verlo. Vestido con gastados pantalones de cuero, un jubón y un sombrero medieval tipo bycocket, empuñando una espada y un arco largo y haciendo sonar ocasionalmente un cuerno, se considera un trovador moderno encargado de mantener vivas las baladas medievales de Robin Hood. Se describe a sí mismo como una “manifestación de Robin Hood”, alguien que transmite un mensaje de caridad y buena voluntad en tiempos turbulentos.\n\n\nLas visitas guiadas de Andrews por Nottingham cuentan la historia de la ciudad a través de las leyendas de Robin Hood. Y es una historia que requiere contexto. Aunque Nottingham posee una larga historia, Andrews la define como una “ciudad moderna”, marcada por algunos desarrollos urbanísticos cuestionables de la década de 1960. Encontrar a Robin Hood aquí implica mirar más allá del trazado urbano contemporáneo.\n\n\nSus recorridos incluyen la iglesia de Santa María, hoy rodeada de almacenes victorianos, pero identificada como un lugar visitado por Robin Hood en la balada medieval “Robin Hood and the Monk”.\n\n\nTambién lleva a los visitantes al Museo Nacional de Justicia, ubicado en un edificio de finales del siglo XVIII construido sobre un emplazamiento fundado por los normandos cuando colonizaron Inglaterra por primera vez, y al castillo de Nottingham, que en realidad es un palacio del siglo XVII, aunque se levanta sobre el terreno que ocupó “uno de los castillos más poderosos de la Inglaterra medieval”.\n\n\nY como imaginar la Nottingham medieval puede resultar agotador, Andrews concluye sus recorridos en lo que se considera el pub más antiguo de Inglaterra, Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, que sirve cerveza desde 1189.\n\n\nAl combinar la historia de Nottingham con la leyenda de Robin Hood, asegura que “la gente se sorprende por la belleza de la ciudad”.\n\n\nAndrews, quien define a Robin Hood como una “figura del bien”, interpreta al personaje desde una perspectiva espiritual. Cree que Robin Hood fue “creado por la voluntad colectiva de las personas en la Inglaterra medieval temprana” y considera que su historia sigue teniendo un impacto positivo en la actualidad. Sus recorridos, afirma, ayudan a los visitantes a “encontrar el espíritu de Robin Hood dentro de nosotros mismos. La verdadera magia de Robin reside en la psique interior”.\n\n\nPersonas de todo el mundo viajan hasta Nottingham para seguir los pasos de Robin Hood, aunque existen otros destinos para los peregrinos de la leyenda. Para empezar, se puede visitar Barnsdale, donde se encuentra el llamado “pozo de Robin Hood”, además de otros lugares de Yorkshire mencionados en las baladas, como Sayles Plantation, Wentbridge y Doncaster.\n\n\nPero ni siquiera es necesario viajar a Inglaterra.\n\n\nDondequiera que uno se encuentre, Robin Hood parece estar presente.\n\n\n“Es prácticamente imposible atravesar la vida sin encontrarse con Robin Hood en algún lugar”, afirma Hahn, quien compara la leyenda con “The Simpsons” como un auténtico “referente cultural” del mundo angloparlante.\n\n\nPara Andrews, ese referente cultural sigue siendo una fuerza positiva.\n\n\n“Robin Hood fue el primer superhéroe”, afirma. “Y el mundo necesita héroes”.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Josh Shapiro told CNN’s Dana Bash in an interview Thursday that he had “profound differences” with one of the candidates endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in Tuesday’s primary elections, underscoring Democratic Party fractures heading into the midterms.\n\n\nShapiro was asked about Darializa Avila Chevalier, the 32-year-old democratic socialist who defeated Rep. Adriano Espaillat, the chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, this week. Their primary, like many of Tuesday’s contests in New York, focused on the US-Israel relationship.\n\n\nCNN’s KFile uncovered a deleted X account belonging to Avila Chevalier that included thousands of posts and reposts expressing support for abolishing police, prisons and borders, as well as seizing private property and nationalizing major industries and calling into question Israel’s right to exist.\n\n\nAvila Chevalier also attended a pro-Palestinian rally the day after Hamas’ October 7, 2023, attack on Israel – where militants killed 1,200 people and took more than 250 hostages. The rally was widely condemned by politicians, including Brad Lander, another Mamdani-backed candidate who defeated Rep. Dan Goldman and said in a recent debate that the rally “spoke about Hamas in ways that I just thought were vile.”\n\n\n“Her district voted for her. But I have profound differences from that particular candidate based on the citations that you read there,” Shapiro told Bash. “She’s not someone who seemingly I would agree with on many things or that we share similar values. She ran on the Democratic ticket, I guess, as a socialist. Voters in that district determined that she was the one they wanted representing her.”\n\n\nCNN has reached out to Avila Chevalier’s campaign for comment.\n\n\nAvila Chevalier helped lead campus protests at Columbia University over Israel and its treatment of Palestinians in Gaza, where more than 70,000 have died since the start of the war, according to the Hamas-run territory’s health ministry.\n\n\n“I’ve seen a lot of similarities not just in the way things are done, but also in the very institutions that are enacting that violence. The tear gas that was being dropped on Palestinians in Gaza in 2014 was the same tear gas that was being dropped on Black protesters in Ferguson in 2014,” Avila Chevalier said in a debate against Espaillat.\n\n\nAvila Chevalier said she would “never celebrate the death of any human being,” arguing that she attended the October 8 rally to protest against an “outsized reaction” to Hamas’ attack, which she feared would “cause the death of thousands upon thousands of people” in Gaza.\n\n\nShapiro, who is running for reelection this fall and a potential 2028 presidential contender, argued that Democrats were ready to “have a battle over what we believe in,” something that he said hadn’t occurred for the party since the 1992 election, when the party nominated then-Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton, who went on to defeat President George H.W. Bush.\n\n\n“I get that there are some candidates that just say a lot of words and attract a lot of attention,” Shapiro said. “But what we need to do as a party is drill down on how we can take those words, turn them into action to make people’s lives better.”\n\n\nShapiro has backed his own slate of Pennsylvania Democrats in seeking to flip up to four Republican-held US House seats this fall. One of the most prominent Jewish politicians in the country, Shapiro is a defender of Israel but an advocate for a two-state solution between the Israelis and Palestinians.\n\n\nHe was asked Tuesday if he believed a Jewish politician could win a national Democratic primary.\n\n\n“I’m not going to focus on what happens in 2028,” Shapiro said. “But what I can tell you that as when I ran for governor in 2022 and now as I’m running for reelection as Pennsylvania governor, I’ve been very open about how faith and family guide me in this life of service. I’m very open about who I am and what motivates me to serve. And what I’ve received back from the people of Pennsylvania is goodness.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

Though firefighters suppressed the blaze soon after, an arson investigator testified the fire smoldered underground before heavy winds caused it to flare again on January 7, becoming the Palisades Fire.\n\n\nProsecutors contended Rinderknecht was motivated by his desire to seek revenge against society at large, and that he was angry at the wealthy and his inability to find companionship on New Year’s Eve.\n\n\n Passengers driven by Rinderknecht – he was working as an Uber driver – testified he ranted about capitalism and was fixated by Luigi Mangione.\n\n\nThe defense acknowledged Rinderknecht saw flames while he was at the clearing – known as the Hidden Buddha – that night but emphasized he called 911 multiple times, though the calls could not immediately connect. Defense attorney Haney argued no one saw his client light a fire, and he contended Rinderknecht had been made a scapegoat.\n\n\nRinderknecht’s attorneys called nine witnesses over about three days, including a consultant and former arson investigator who said there was not enough evidence to illustrate a serious intent to start a fire – and that fireworks were “the most obvious cause” of the blaze.\n\n\nTestimony by other eyewitnesses was used to corroborate defense claims that New Year’s revelers were setting off fireworks in the area that night.\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional information.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

But the company said no.\n\n\nSpecifically, it balked at two requirements – the Trump administration wanted it done by July 4, and the pool bottom had to be blue, according to two employees with the New Jersey-based Sika Corporation, which provided the concrete construction and sealing products for a 2010 renovation project to the Reflecting Pool.\n\n\nAccording to the two employees, who spoke to CNN on the condition they not be identified, both demands made the job “unfeasible.”\n\n\nUltimately, Rhino Linings, which is most popular for its truck bed linings but also says on its website it can be used for water facilities, was chosen to provide materials for the latest  Reflecting Pool renovation.\n\n\nNow, less than a month after it    was applied, the material from the bottom of the Reflecting Pool appears to be peeling off, causing a massive Washington brouhaha, with President Donald Trump blaming radical left vandals  and contractors promising to fix what they say are isolated problem areas. Meanwhile, algae has turned the water various shades of green despite the renovation that was supposed to clear that up.\n\n\nTrump has maintained that the renovation has been a success, but the project has faced heavy scrutiny. It was initially estimated to cost $1.8 million, but the price tag is now up to $14.7 million, according to a contract summary of the Interior Department’s award to Virginia-based Atlantic Industrial Coatings.\n\n\nGiven Sika’s prior experience working on the Reflecting Pool, the company’s decision to decline the contract, which has not been previously reported, could further enflame mounting criticism that the project was rushed and potentially improperly completed.\n\n\nRep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, sent letters Wednesday to the contractors overseeing the renovation, requesting information such as contracts and water quality records.\n\n\n“Donald Trump’s disastrous renovation of our national Reflecting Pool is his latest failed vanity project,” Garcia said in a statement. “The President should be focused on making life more affordable for the American people, not rewarding his loyalists with government contracts and wasting taxpayer money on failing projects. We’re demanding answers straight from the contractors about the project’s failures.”\n\n\nSika Corp. did not reply to CNN’s request for comment.\n\n\nCompeting theories on what went wrong\n\n\n\nThe drama around the Reflecting Pool has spawned theories as to what went wrong from both the president and internet sleuths.\n\n\nLast Friday, Trump first echoed claims that surfaced in right-wing circles that the pool’s broader problems are a result of vandalism. Trump has floated a number of allegations, often without evidence, including that there’s a gash hundreds of feet long in the pool.\n\n\nOn Wednesday night, the Justice Department said in a court filing that the caulk over the pool’s foam sealant was cut with a “sharp knife or razor” and that the tops of roughly 70 fence posts were thrown into the pool. The filing is part of a lawsuit brought by the nonprofit Cultural Landscape Foundation that contends officials bypassed regulatory steps in order to complete the renovation.\n\n\nTourists and local residents alike have flocked to the site in recent days to take photos and videos of the algae bloom or peeling blue strips. Police arrested at least six people for vandalism and issued federal citations to at least seven others.\n\n\nAt least one person who was arrested for vandalism, three-time US Olympian David Hearn, told CNN that he was merely touching a piece of partially detached blue material from the recent renovation.\n\n\nOnline commentators have also speculated that the bottom of the pool may have been affected by the presence of heavy equipment and trucks       — and a presidential motorcade that drove through at one point — shortly after the coating was applied.\n\n\nRavi Kurani, President of Standard Water Corp, an industrial technology company, told CNN he would never recommend driving cars out onto a pool surface, especially when renovations are being done.\n\n\n“It’s like you’re putting flooring on your kitchen floor and then you’re take a really heavy tractor on top of it – it’s going to mess it up a little bit.”\n\n\nTim Auerhahn, a pool infrastructure expert and the chairman of the Aquatic Council, a consulting firm , said over email there isn’t enough information to definitively conclude that the vehicle traffic caused damage, but “it is one of several factors that should be considered as part of a comprehensive failure analysis.”\n\n\nAuerhahn added that, “It’s important not to focus on a single theory too early.”\n\n\nTrump said this week that the Reflecting Pool will be drained again for “permanent repair” around the Fourth of July.\n\n\nA complicated job\n\n\n\nThe last time Sika worked on the reflecting pool was in 2012, when President Barack Obama’s administration spent $34 million on an 18-month renovation of the pool which was meant to address ongoing issues with algae blooms.\n\n\nHowever, shortly after that renovation was completed, the pool again became a murky, smelly mess. That apparent failure to adequately address the issues with the pool became political fodder for Trump when he ordered his own renovation.\n\n\nThat’s when, in late March, Sika      was contacted by American Concrete Services for a quick surfacing project, in blue,   according to the two Sika employees who spoke to CNN. It’s unclear why the Department of Interior used a different contractor, Atlantic Industrial Coatings.\n\n\nAmerican Concrete Services did not reply to a request for comment for this story.\n\n\nSika declined the proposal after a routine assessment of feasibility and risk, the employees said. One of the Sika specialists assumed that was because Sika’s solution was complicated and lengthy, not fitting the contractor’s tight timeline of just a few months turnaround.\n\n\nThe main issue, one of Sika employees said, was the lining over the expansion joints featured in the Reflecting Pool and constraints on what material could be used and submerged in water. The Reflecting Pool features 2.5 miles of joints, which were recently replaced as part of the renovations, according to Department of Interior Secretary Doug Burgum.\n\n\nThe joints allow the large concrete slabs they connect to flex with changing temperatures.\n\n\nOne of the solutions Sika proposed was to place metal on top of the joints, then apply a blue color    coating. Sika warned the contractor   that with potential movement – natural expansion and contraction – the metal could show through, causing inconsistencies with the blue used in other parts of the pool, the employee said.\n\n\nPrior to when peeling was first spotted, in an interview this month with Emily Miller, a journalist and former Republican communications strategist, Eddie Wood, who owns Atlantic Industrial Coatings, said it was the government that decided to use a type of plastic-like coating called polyurea and contract Rhino Linings to provide those materials .\n\n\nThe company has previously been contracted by branches of the military, providing coatings for body armor, helicopters, fuel tanks and trucks, its website says. Wood previously told CNN he was proud of his company’s part in the project and said he had nothing to do with the algae-filled water. When the blue material started peeling, he said he would address any problems that have arisen.\n\n\nWood told CNN he was not available to answer questions regarding the renovation process and timeline this week.\n\n\nRhino Linings has also been named in multiple lawsuits. In late 2021, a jury returned a $2 million verdict against Rhino, finding it did not properly train or vet its recommended installer. The jury also found Rhino failed to thoroughly inspect the finished roof for a large commercial building in Texas. According to allegations in the lawsuit, those failures resulted in the building experiencing more than 200 leaks and required the installation of a new metal roof over the Rhino Linings products to prevent further damage.\n\n\nRhino Linings did not reply to CNN’s request for comment.\n\n\nThe two Rhino Linings products ultimately used in the Reflecting Pool were Rhino 406 Primer and Pipeliner 5000, according to an advertisement for the company. The primer is made up of epoxy, and the pipeliner is made of a mixture of resin and isocyanate – polyurea.\n\n\nThe Pipeliner 5000 product is typically used for linings in water storage, wastewater facilities, and pipes – containers not exposed to sunlight on a regular basis. Some polyureas are not stable under UV light    .\n\n\nAs for the Rhino 406 Primer, one Sika employee said that epoxy, which is a popular coating for garage floors, is rigid, and would not be a good solution for flexing joints like the ones in the Reflecting Pool.\n\n\nIn a statement about the Reflecting Pool on its website, Rhino Linings said it “is aware of reports regarding localized areas of finish coat separation.”\n\n\n“Based on information provided to us by the project team, the condition is limited to isolated areas of the finish layer and does not affect the underlying waterproofing membrane,” the statement added. “The project stakeholders are aware of the condition, and corrective actions have been identified  .”\n\n\nAsked to review the Sika employee’s explanation of why the company didn’t feel the reflecting pool job was feasible, Auerhahn, the pool infrastructure expert, said it was “a technically reasonable assessment.”\n\n\n“Large expansion joints are challenging features in aquatic installations, especially in large basins where movement is likely,” Auerhahn said. “Epoxy systems perform well in many aquatic installations, but they’re relatively rigid and not relied upon when significant joint movement is expected. Using a metal cap over this joint is not an unreasonable solution and has been relied on in other engineering applications.”\n\n\nAuerhahn, who cautioned his observations were based only on publicly available information, said that while he would stop short of concluding that Rhino Pipeliner 5000 was definitively the wrong product for the application, the product’s selection “raises legitimate technical questions regarding substrate compatibility, UV exposure, joint movement, chemical exposure and long-term durability in the unique environment of the Reflecting Pool.”\n\n\nHe added that using polyurea coatings in a large historic water basin is similarly unconventional.\n\n\n“It has not been well proven in fountains and pools, so it was a largely untested technology given the setting,” Auerhahn said.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

CNN has reached out to the White House for comment.\n\n\nThe cargo vessel was struck on its starboard side by an unknown projectile, damaging the bridge, according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations, which monitors marine traffic in the region. No casualties or environmental impact were reported.\n\n\nVessels were advised to transit with caution and report suspicious activity,\n\n\nThe attack forced the UN’s International Maritime Organization (IMO) to halt its mission to evacuate hundred of ships and more than 11,000 seafarers who’ve been stranded in Persian Gulf region since the war broke out.\n\n\n“I have always reiterated that the safety of the seafarers remains paramount,” IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez said in a statement. “Therefore, to ensure a coordinated approach and navigational safety, the evacuation plan will be paused until further clarity is obtained.”\n\n\nThe evacuation mission only began in recent days, following the signing of the memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran.\n\n\nDominguez said that the ship that was attacked was not operating under the IMO evacuation framework, adding that the incident highlights the need to ensure evacuation efforts can continue without seafarers being put at risk.\n\n\nThis week, ship movements in the Strait of Hormuz hit their highest point since the war began in late February, with MarineTraffic data showing 70 crossings on Wednesday. Most of those vessels using a route that followed the coast of Oman, the maritime monitoring group said.\n\n\nIran sees control of the waterway as a key point of leverage in negotiations. On Thursday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp warned that safe passage would only be given to ships via routes declared to Iran.\n\n\nAfter the attack, the Persian Gulf Strait Authority – an agency Tehran recently established to manage the strait – said safe transit would not be guaranteed. “The consequences of traveling on unauthorized routes will be the responsibility of the owner, operator, and commander of the vessel,” the agency said on X.\n\n\nThe current agreement between Washington and Tehran includes a commitment to reopen the waterway without tolls for 60 days, and has already seen the US lift its blockade of Iranian ports. But the 14-point memorandum also grants Iran a formal role in overseeing commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz alongside Oman.\n\n\nTehran began to enforce tolls on vessels wishing to transit the strait during the conflict, something the Trump administration has vowed not to allow under a long-term peace deal.\n\n\n“The reality of it is that no country on Earth has a right to charge for the use of international waterways, and that will never be an acceptable condition of any deal,” Rubio said at a meeting with foreign ministers of Gulf Arab states in Bahrain on Thursday. A joint statement later said the ministers “rejected any tolls, fees, or attempts to assert control over the Strait.”\n\n\nTehran, which disputes the waterway being international waters, has previously raised the prospect of charging a kind of service fee, rather than toll, alongside Oman in the future.\n\n\nBut Oman said on Thursday that future arrangements for the strait do not include transit fees for vessels, the state-run news agency reported.\n\n\n“You can call it a toll, you can call it a fee, whatever you want to call it. It’s a game of semantics,” Rubio said.\n\n\nThe signing of the agreement last week saw global oil prices fall to their lowest level since the start of the Iran war. Thursday’s strike sparked a slight rise, with Brent crude – the international benchmark – closing up 2% at $74 per barrel, before easing back in trading early Friday.\n\n\nThe memorandum is meant to halt fighting, open the Strait of Hormuz and offer economic relief to Iran in exchange for a pledge never to develop nuclear weapons. But it leaves vital details, like the future of Tehran’s nuclear program and its stocks of enriched uranium, to be hashed out over 60 days of high-stakes negotiations.\n\n\nThose technical talks will be held at the expert level, with working groups on various subjects including nuclear energy and sanctions, beginning June 30, said Rubio on Wednesday.\n\n\nBut the process has been riddled with stumbling blocks – including persistent fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, which threatened to derail US-Iran talks last week. Rubio has tried to separate the Israel-Lebanon talks from the US-Iran negotiations, even as Iran has repeatedly insisted that the issues are entwined. The agreement itself declared an end of fighting on all fronts, including Lebanon.\n\n\nOn Friday morning, Israel launched airstrikes on targets near Nabatieh in southern Lebanon, according to Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency.\n\n\nThe Trump administration has expressed increasing frustration over Israel’s campaign in Lebanon; and Rubio is skipping Israel on his ongoing Middle East visit, which some analysts described as a snub of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.\n\n\nThis article has been updated with additional information.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Casi mil heridas. Cientos más desaparecidas o bajo los escombros. Este es el saldo que han dejado los dos terremotos del miércoles en el norte de Venezuela, que han sido de los más fuertes registrados en el último siglo en el país.\n\n\nAmbos sismos, de magnitud 7,2 y 7,5 respectivamente, ocurrieron con apenas segundos de diferencia y se pudieron sentir en toda Venezuela, incluso en países vecinos como Colombia.\n\n\nY la tragedia no se ha quedado en suelo venezolano. Los gobiernos de España y Panamá confirmaron que ciudadanos de sus países se encuentran desaparecidos tras los terremotos.\n\n\nEn tanto, la incertidumbre es grande. Miles de personas siguen sin poder contactar a sus seres queridos. Y, para los venezolanos que viven en otros países, la información llega de a poco, mientras la situación se mantiene en desarrollo.\n\n\nRicardo Alfonso se fue de Venezuela hace 27 años y desde entonces reside en Estados Unidos.\n\n\nEn ese tiempo, ha visto a Venezuela sumirse en crisis económicas, políticas y sociales que hasta hoy persisten.\n\n\nAhora, Ricardo ve desde fuera cómo esas crisis se ven acentuadas por la tragedia causada por los terremotos.\n\n\nCuenta que se enteró de los terremotos en el momento en que ocurrieron, sin saber que se trataba de dos sismos casi simultáneos. Desde Florida él lleva su negocio; en Venezuela tiene una asistente y, mientras estaba en una reunión virtual con ella, comenzó la sacudida.\n\n\n“En ese momento ella empezó a pegar gritos diciendo que estaba temblando. Desde el mismo instante que comenzaron los temblores en Venezuela, estoy enterado por la situación de que estaba hablando con mi asistente”, relata.\n\n\nSu asistente dejó su teléfono a un lado, pero podía escuchar en el fondo los gritos de la familia, dice Ricardo. Ellos se encontraban a las afueras de Caracas, lugar en el que los sismos se sintieron muy fuertes, y están bien, solamente con daños materiales.\n\n\nPoco después, en el chat que tiene con su familia, los seres queridos de Ricardo se reportaron a salvo, “con daños mayores o menores a sus propiedades”.\n\n\nDebido a la situación en Venezuela, Ricardo hizo un llamado para que los venezolanos se unan y ayuden con donaciones. En Miami, a unas dos horas en auto de donde él vive, hay un centro de acopio en las instalaciones de la empresa de envíos Metabox, la cual se hará cargo de la logística para enviar la ayuda. Se pueden llevar artículos de higiene personal, medicamento, agua, sábanas, cobijas, ropa, entre otras más. Esa empresa también está recolectando ayuda en su sede de Texas.\n\n\n“Es el (centro de acopio) que conozco ahora mismo y que está aceptando las donaciones para Venezuela. Ellos también son parte del transporte de logística y van a ofrecer su servicio de enviar las donaciones completamente gratis a Venezuela”, indica Ricardo.\n\n\nKevin Sánchez tiene 38 años, trabaja como analista de facturas y lleva una década viviendo en Santiago, Chile. La noticia de los terremotos llegó por la tarde y con ella la preocupación.\n\n\nUna buena parte de sus familiares viven en Caracas y en la periferia de la capital. Hasta las 11 de la noche pudo comunicarse con todos y, para su alivio, están bien.\n\n\nSin embargo, sus seres queridos forman parte de las personas que sufrieron daños materiales en sus viviendas.\n\n\n“Los daños materiales fueron importantes. Las estructuras de los edificios están en peligro. Protección Civil (de Venezuela) recomendó desalojar por siete días por posibles réplicas”, dice Kevin a CNN.\n\n\nDe ahí surge otra preocupación, que al mismo tiempo es la de muchos: si son desalojados por temor a réplicas, ¿dónde encontrará refugio su familia?\n\n\n“(Mis familiares) están estudiando la posibilidad de ir a donde mi mamá, nuestro apartamento donde nos criamos. Igual está afectado, pero no se sabe mucho, allá está mi viejo solo y no han podido ir”, menciona.\n\n\nAdelys Ferro es cofundadora y directora ejecutiva del Venezuelan American Caucus, una ONG que aboga por los derechos de los inmigrantes venezolanos en Estados Unidos y que ha estado en la primera línea de defensa del Estatus de Protección Temporal (TPS, por sus siglas).\n\n\nLuego de la tragedia, Adelys se mantiene como un punto de apoyo para venezolanos, sobre todo aquellos que no han podido comunicarse con sus familiares.\n\n\n“Estoy abriendo este canal para que todos los que quieran pongan aquí sus mensajes de dónde están sus familiares, por si otras personas están en esas ciudades y se han podido comunicar”, dijo Ferro en un video compartido en Instagram.\n\n\nAdelys agregó que la comunicación es uno de los mayores problemas que tiene Venezuela en estos momentos. Como es habitual después de sismos fuertes, la red de telecomunicaciones colapsó, lo que volvió imposible llamar directamente a los familiares, ya sea por teléfono o por redes sociales.\n\n\nPor la poca o nula comunicación que hay actualmente, Ferro pidió tener cuidado con los contenidos que se comparten desde EE.UU., ya que podrían ser falsos y generar más preocupación de la que ya existe en Venezuela.\n\n\n“Lo que pasó es realmente horroroso, todavía no tenemos idea de la magnitud de lo que sucedió. Yo sé que a todos nos nos pasan por la cabeza muchas cosas, pero este momento es el momento de cómo podemos ayudar”, señaló. “Lo que ellos están sufriendo, aún siendo nuestra familia, nosotros no lo podemos ni imaginar estando aquí”.\n\n\nAlejandro Méndez y Diego Vélez son dos venezolanos residentes en Bogotá que han ayudado a muchos de sus compatriotas a través de las fundaciones Juntos se puede y Cedrizuela. Como casi todos los que hacen parte de la diáspora están profundamente conmocionados y afectados por la difícil situación que se vive en el vecino país tras los terremotos registrados el miércoles en Venezuela.\n\n\nDicen que la prioridad en estas primeras horas es ayudar a rescatar a los sobrevivientes y atender a los heridos. Han contactado a las autoridades colombianas para poder coordinar la ayuda que se va a enviar solidariamente a los cientos de miles de afectados en todo el país.\n\n\n“Estos terremotos han golpeado severamente al país y, más allá de la consternación, estamos ocupándonos como comunidad venezolana organizándonos. De hecho, Diego tiene acá una de las empresas más grandes de envíos a Venezuela y estamos con diferentes fundaciones tratando de organizar todo. Nuestra complicación ahorita no es conseguir centros de acopio y donaciones. Nuestra complicación ahorita es conseguir que esas donaciones lleguen de manera efectiva a Venezuela”, dijo Méndez, de la fundación Cedrizuela, a CNN.\n\n\nDesde la noche del miércoles fueron cancelados todos los vuelos comerciales entre Colombia y Venezuela. Solo hay acceso a ese país por las fronteras terrestres y fluviales de los departamentos de La Guajira, Norte de Santander y Arauca, lo que complica todavía más la logística para el envío de las ayudas que se requieren de manera urgente para los afectados.\n\n\nPedro Arnulfo Sánchez, ministro de defensa de Colombia, indicó que se están coordinando todos los esfuerzos para poder asistir de la manera más rápida al pueblo venezolano. “Nuestras Fuerzas Militares, la Policía Nacional y la Defensa Civil ya coordinan las acciones necesarias preparatorias a disposición de la UNGRD (Unidad Nacional de Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres). En los desastres naturales no existen fronteras, existen naciones hermanas que se ayudan mutuamente”, declaró Sánchez en X.\n\n\nEs esa coordinación la que están buscando y necesitan los venezolanos en Colombia que quieren enviar ayuda a sus compatriotas. “Lo que sé es que estamos preparados para ayudar. Mucha gente dispuesta para este tema de las ayudas. Estamos esperando respuestas para ver a dónde hacer llegar estas ayudas. Estamos esperando respuestas del Gobierno colombiano para poder hacer una logística interna dentro de Colombia para poder hacer un acopio desde Bogotá y que de aquí salgan las ayudas directamente a Venezuela de manera un poco más rápida”, comentó Vélez, de la empresa WED envíos, y quien también hace parte de la fundación Juntos se puede.\n\n\nLo que más se necesita en estos momentos, coincidieron Méndez y Vélez, es personal experto en rescates, maquinaria, insumos médicos, kits de primeros auxilios, mantas y carpas para los sobrevivientes y sus familias.\n\n\nLas fundaciones que han iniciado ya la recolección de las ayudas han dispuesto de seis puntos de acopio en Bogotá, Medellín y Cali.\n\n\nLa ciudad de Union City es el hogar de una de las comunidades de venezolanos más grandes en el área de Nueva York/Nueva Jersey.\n\n\nDesde ahí, en el restaurante Maracaibo (mismo nombre que la capital del estado venezolano Zulia), inmigrantes de Venezuela se mostraron preocupados por la situación.\n\n\nEllos, al igual que las miles de personas que buscan contacto con sus seres queridos, han tardado horas en recibir información de sus familiares.\n\n\n“(Estoy) muy consternado y es muy duro ver esas imágenes tan impactantes que están ocurriendo en nuestra patria de Venezuela. De verdad que sin palabras”, dijo Héctor Arellano, trabajador del restaurante Maracaibo, a CNN.\n\n\n“Gracias a Dios, mi familia está bien. Yo soy de la región de los Andes venezolanos, del estado de Táchira. Allá fue duro también, pero está bien. Me duele y me da empatía por el centro del país, por Caracas, cómo está pasando todo, ver los niños, los animales, cómo quedó destrozada la ciudad”, añadió.\n\n\nSaúl Rondón, gerente del restaurante, compartió las palabras de Héctor y señaló que Union City tiene sentimientos encontrados en estos momentos: por un lado hay felicidad, ya que es semana de graduaciones escolares; pero, por el otro, la tristeza invade a la comunidad inmigrante venezolana por la tragedia en su país de origen.\n\n\n“Creo que con oraciones vamos a ayudar mucho a nuestras familias”, dijo Rondón.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Rabies is nearly always deadly once symptoms start, but medical care can prevent the disease.\n\n\n\nLast year, a bat tested positive for rabies at White Sands, NPS said. \n\n\n\nNPS said the teen's parent or guardian should find a medical provider or local health department to discuss rabies whether post-exposure treatment is needed.\n\n\n\nNPS also asked them to contact White Sands National park at WHSA_Interpretation@nps.gov.\n\n\n\nRabies is usually transmitted through contact with saliva from an infected animal. \n\n\n\nWhen a bat is dead, acting strange, lying on the ground, flying near people or touching people, the exposure risk for rabies increases, according to NPS. \n\n\n\nNPS said the best way to protect yourself and animals from rabies exposure is to keep a safe distance and never pick up a wild animal.

Sin embargo, las autoridades han advertido que las cifras podrían variar a medida que avanzan las tareas de rescate y remoción de escombros en las áreas más afectadas.\n\n\nEn este sentido, en paralelo a las labores oficiales de rescate, se crearon varias iniciativas ciudadanas digitales para ayudar a localizar a personas que todavía se encuentran desaparecidas o incomunicadas. Una de las más difundidas es el sitio web “Desaparecidos Terremoto Venezuela”, creado con el objetivo de centralizar reportes y facilitar la búsqueda de familiares y allegados en un contexto marcado por la emergencia y la interrupción de comunicaciones.\n\n\nPara reportar un desaparecido es necesario escribir su nombre completo e indicar dónde fue visto por última vez. Además, se puede facilitar información de utilidad como su edad, su descripción física, la ropa que utilizaba e incluso es posible adjuntar una fotografía.\n\n\nLa plataforma también permite actualizar el estado de las personas cuando son encontradas. La intención es evitar duplicaciones en los reportes y facilitar el trabajo de familiares, voluntarios y equipos de asistencia. El reporte se puede realizar desde cualquier país del mundo.\n\n\nLa página difunde la información de las personas registradas como desaparecidas y permite filtrar la búsqueda según nombre y ubicación. De este modo, es posible revisar qué personas presuntamente desaparecidas podrían estar cerca de tu localidad.\n\n\nLa plataforma de búsqueda se presenta como una “herramienta ciudadana y no partidista”, según indica su sitio web, para registrar personas cuyo paradero se desconoce, especialmente en un escenario donde muchas familias han perdido contacto debido a cortes de luz, fallas de telecomunicaciones y evacuaciones.\n\n\nOtra iniciativa similar es “Venezuela te busca”, un registro colaborativo en línea que permite reportar personas no localizadas, consultar casos y actualizar información sobre sobrevivientes.\n\n\nCNN intentó comunicarse con el sitio ”Desaparecidos Terremoto Venezuela”, pero no obtuvo respuesta. CNN no puede validar de forma independiente el funcionamiento de las plataformas mencionadas.\n\n\nDel mismo modo, también han circulado iniciativas en redes sociales, incluidas cuentas de Instagram que centralizan reportes y replican solicitudes de búsqueda. Por ejemplo, la cuenta Alianza por Venezuela, una organización creada por migrantes en Argentina que defiende los derechos de los venezolanos, ha compartido una publicación para ayudar a que a venezolanos en el exterior puedan comunicarse o conocer el estado de sus familiares. Millones de venezolanos emigraron del país en los últimos años durante el régimen del derrocado presidente Nicolás Maduro, en medio de un catastrófico colapso económico.\n\n\nMientras tanto, continúan las labores de rescate en las zonas más afectadas. En Caracas, hasta el momento al menos 25 personas murieron como consecuencia del terremoto, según la alcaldesa Carmen Meléndez. En los edificios Petunia, Don Bosco y Obelisco, en el municipio Chacao, el alcalde Gustavo Duque Sáez informó que hasta el momento al menos 12 personas murieron y 18 fueron rescatadas con vida, mientras maquinaria pesada sigue removiendo escombros para permitir el acceso de los equipos de búsqueda.\n\n\nLas autoridades venezolanas han pedido a la población mantener la calma y tomar precauciones ante posibles réplicas. También recomendaron que las personas permanezcan en sus hogares si las estructuras no presentan daños, o evacúen en caso de riesgo.\n\n\nEn paralelo, el Ministerio de Educación informó que algunas escuelas serán habilitadas como centros de acopio y refugio para las familias afectadas, en un intento por brindar asistencia inmediata en medio de la crisis. A su vez, la institución afirmó que se suspendieron las actividades escolares en todo el territorio nacional por tiempo indefinido.\n\n\nA nivel internacional, distintos países comenzaron a movilizar asistencia humanitaria. El secretario de Estado de EE.UU., Marco Rubio, anunció el despliegue de equipos de búsqueda y rescate tras el sismo, mientras que México anunció el despliegue de rescatistas y personal de sanidad para apoyar las tareas de emergencia, con un primer contingente ya en camino.\n\n\nPor su parte, el presidente de Chile, José Antonio Kast, informó que se está gestionando el envío de ayuda y equipos de rescate. Colombia, El Salvador y República Dominicana también pusieron a disposición equipos especializados, mientras que Brasil y países europeos como Francia, Suiza y España ofrecieron el envío de ayuda humanitaria.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Los precios de los chips, así como la demanda, han aumentado debido al gran número de centros de datos de inteligencia artificial que se están construyendo, lo que llevó a empresas como Micron a publicar ganancias excepcionales.\n\n\n“Estamos haciendo todo lo posible para mitigar los enormes aumentos que nos están siendo trasladados, y hemos estado tratando de proteger a nuestros clientes de los aumentos, pero la situación se ha vuelto insostenible”, dijo Cook previamente a The Wall Street Journal.\n\n\nIncluso Apple, una de las empresas más rentables del mundo con una sólida cadena de suministro, no puede evitar el aumento de precios de la memoria que ha repercutido en toda la industria de la electrónica de consumo.\n\n\nCabe destacar que los precios de los iPhone y AirPods se mantienen iguales.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Someone who hacks an agent’s personal phone could steal “mission-related data, including contacts, user history, geolocation, and photos” and then use that sensitive information to “plan attacks against protectees or Secret Service employees,” the inspector general concluded.\n\n\nThe probe also found that the Secret Service was failing to wipe employees’ phones after returning from international travel, and that the agency didn’t have a policy for testing software before it was deployed on employees’ phones.\n\n\nFor years, Secret Service agents have complained that their government phones didn’t allow them to use certain apps to communicate with their foreign counterparts or to send certain types of text messages between themselves. Shortly before the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt in Butler, a Secret Service employee “used their personal device to receive a picture message from local law enforcement of the would-be assassin due to reliability concerns” with their government phone, the new report says.\n\n\nAt the time of the assassination attempt, the US had intelligence about a separate plot by Iran to assassinate Trump. Iran has a history of using hacking to aid in its assassination and kidnapping attempts.\n\n\nCell phone issues plagued security during the Butler rally, where the would-be assassin Thomas Crooks was able to fly a drone mapping out the area undetected and climb onto a nearby rooftop with a rifle despite being seen by local law enforcement minutes before he opened fire.\n\n\nWhile certain Secret Service agents and local officers depended on small group chats on their phone to send out information that day, others relied on radio channels and two separate command posts.\n\n\nAccording to multiple reports from the Department of Homeland Security and Congress, failures related to the Service’s use of phones greatly contributed to the failures that day.\n\n\nThe lack of cell service in the rural location of the rally also delayed counter-drone technology that could have located Crooks’ drone, and Crooks himself, hours before the shooting.\n\n\nThe agency has since begun to deploy mobile cell coverage for agents during such events.\n\n\nImprovements have been made, Secret Service says\n\n\n\nThe Secret Service said in a response to draft of the IG report that it had addressed, or was in the process of addressing, the watchdog’s security recommendations.\n\n\nThe agency has made “several comprehensive enhancements to Secret Service communications policies and protocols to both mitigate the potential for adversaries to intercept and exploit Seret Service information, as well as further strengthen the protective environment,” Secret Service Director Sean Curran said.\n\n\nThe Secret Service declined to comment on the findings, instead pointing CNN to Curran’s letter in the IG report.\n\n\nThe Secret Service manages about 8,000 mobile devices that grant access to the agency’s systems and to sensitive apps, like one that gives agents information on emergency relocation sties, the inspector general said.\n\n\nThe risk of a hack of a government phone leading to assassinations is not hypothetical.\n\n\nA Mexican drug cartel hired a hacker to surveil the movements of a senior FBI official in Mexico City in 2018 or earlier, gathering information from the city’s camera system that allowed the cartel to kill potential FBI informants, the Justice Department inspector general said in a report last year.\n\n\nThe new report on the Secret Service cited that example.\n\n\n“Until the Secret Service improves security controls for mobile devices used overseas, employees’ sensitive device information and communication with protectees face similar risks,” the report said.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Alito then retorted publicly, stunning court observers accustomed to decorum from the justices.\n\n\nThe tension will likely build as the 6-3 court announces more decisions next week.\n\n\nHere are the key takeaways from Thursday’s major victories for the Trump administration’s efforts to limit immigration.\n\n\nConservatives remove court from reviewing TPS\n\n\n\nThe court sided with Trump on Temporary Protected Status by essentially ruling that courts have no business deciding the issue in the first place.\n\n\nThe humanitarian program allows people who are already residing in the US to remain in the country at times of upheaval in their home countries. Under the designation, heavily vetted beneficiaries are allowed to temporarily live and work in the US legally. The law setting up TPS says that an administration’s “determination” to apply the designation cannot be reviewed by courts, but a group of Haitian and Syrian nationals said that language didn’t bar the court from looking at the process the administration used to decide.\n\n\nAlito balked at that reasoning.\n\n\n“This text is clear, and its plain meaning is very broad,” Alito wrote, later adding, “The secretary’s TPS designation decisions are not subject to judicial review.”\n\n\nRoughly 350,000 Haitians, along with roughly 6,000 Syrians, will be directly affected by the court’s decision.\n\n\nThe administration is also certain to argue Alito’s opinion bars courts from reviewing other cases involving TPS. The Trump administration has attempted to end TPS for 13 out of 17 countries that had been designated for the program, and many of those decisions have been tied up in courts.\n\n\nThe 13 countries targeted are: Haiti, Syria, Venezuela, Honduras, Afghanistan, Nepal, Cameroon, Myanmar (Burma), Ethiopia, Somalia, South Sudan, Yemen and Nicaragua.\n\n\nKagan slams majority for downplaying Trump’s words\n\n\n\nThe justices engaged in a sharp back-and-forth over Trump’s own words in describing the Haitian people.\n\n\nOne of the claims the Haitian TPS beneficiaries made was that Trump had acted with racial animus in shutting down the program. That was based on his comments, including his false assertion during the campaign that Haitians in Ohio were eating peoples’ pets. If the Haitians could have demonstrated that Trump’s remarks pointed to a government decision driven by racism, then they could have won their claims under the equal protection clause.\n\n\nBut Alito and the court’s other conservatives dismissed that argument as well.\n\n\n“A person without racial bias can provide a harshly unfavorable description of living conditions in some of the countries with TPS designations,” Alito wrote. “The criteria for TPS designations guarantee that many, if not most, designated countries have such characteristics. Haiti is no exception. It is a very poor country, and living conditions there are unquestionably difficult.”\n\n\nNotably, Alito did not say what Trump’s statements were. It’s an omission liberal Justice Elena Kagan was quick to point out in her dissent.\n\n\nShe described Trump’s comments as “so repellent and racially inflected that the majority declines to put them in print.”\n\n\nKagan then reproduced the statements herself, including Trump’s remarks that Haitians in Ohio were “eating the dogs … . They’re eating the cats. They’re eating – they’re eating the pets of the people.”\n\n\nThose statements, Kagan wrote, “fairly shout, in their racial undertones and overtones alike, that race entered into the president’s resolve to remove Haitians from this country.”\n\n\nTrump administration has a decision to make on asylum\n\n\n\nIn another 6-3 opinion authored by Alito, the court blessed the controversial asylum policy known as “metering.”\n\n\nIt enables federal agents stationed at the border to turn back asylum seekers before they ever step foot on US soil, frustrating their ability to be formally inspected by officials — the first step in a winding process that could eventually result in them being granted asylum. \n\n\nThough Trump championed the policy during his first term, it was rescinded under former President Joe Biden and officials in the second Trump administration have not said whether they actually intend to reimplement it, but they wanted the option.  \n\n\nDuring oral arguments in the case earlier this year, Assistant Solicitor General Vivek Suri told the justices that the administration “would like to be able to reinstate metering if and when border conditions justify.”\n\n\nThe administration’s decision to continue defending the metering policy in court reflected the reality that potential legal roadblocks to other immigration initiatives may trigger a decision to eventually turn back to it.\n\n\nAfter returning to office, Trump has imposed a series of policies aimed at curbing legal immigration at the southern border, including by closing all ports of entry to migrants and suspending asylum adjudications. But those moves were also met with legal challenges, and courts have recently ruled against some of them.\n\n\nWhen the metering policy was in place, it frustrated the ability of tens of thousands of migrants to move forward in seeking asylum, according to the Strauss Center at the University of Texas at Austin.\n\n\nTPS ruling may bring serious economic consequences\n\n\n\nImmigrant rights groups decried the decision, and an attorney for the Haitian nationals warned that the decision would “directly result in thousands of innocent people dying violent, needless deaths.”\n\n\nThe ruling may also have a significant impact on the economy.\n\n\nThe Haitians, many of whom have lived in the US for years, building careers, buying homes and raising children, contribute an estimated $5.9 billion to the US economy, according to an analysis by FWD.us, a policy and advocacy organization focused on immigration that has supported TPS for Haitians. They also pay $1.6 billion in federal, payroll, state and local taxes.\n\n\nNearly 190,000 Haitian TPS holders were employed in early 2025, FWD.us found. Many work in retail, hospitality, healthcare and other industries – serving as cooks and servers, stockers and packers and nursing assistants.\n\n\nJan Gautam, CEO of IHRMC Hotels & Resorts, said he will likely have to lay off roughly 20% of his staff at dozens of hotels in Florida.\n\n\n“We respect the judicial system,” he told CNN. “We’ll let everyone go, and we’ll suffer and they’ll suffer.”\n\n\nNursing homes, assisted living facilities and homecare agencies expect they’ll have to replace many employees, a sizeable share of whom are Haitian TPS holders. That could cause stress and disruptions to care for many elderly Americans.\n\n\n“Staff and caregivers who support older adults every day – legal employees who in some of our communities represent 8% or more of the entire workforce – can now lose their jobs overnight,” Katie Smith Sloan, CEO of LeadingAge, the national association of nonprofit and mission-driven providers of aging services, said in a statement. “There is no workforce waiting in the wings capable of replacing the long-standing relationships, in some cases built over years and even decades, that are so vital to quality care.”\n\n\nProviders may have to limit nursing home admissions, close units or turn down requests for home care until the vacancies are filled, she added.\n\n\nSotomayor’s biting dissent and Alito’s stunning response\n\n\n\nJustice Sonia Sotomayor wrote a biting dissent in the asylum case that argued the metering policy only incentivizes unlawful border crossings – but that was only the beginning.\n\n\n“More people will die,” Sotomayor wrote.\n\n\n“More people will attempt to cross the border illegally, and some will make it while others will not. More people will be forced to walk along the US-Mexico border in dangerous conditions, trying to find a port that will inspect them,” she added. “More people will turn back and be subjected to violence because of something they cannot or should not have to change about themselves, such as their race, religion, nationality, or political opinion.”\n\n\nThe court’s senior liberal justice seized on an ugly episode in the nation’s history in which the US turned away the MS St. Louis, a ship ferrying nearly 1,000 Jewish refugees fleeing Europe in 1939. The ship later returned to Europe, where many of the passengers perished in the Holocaust.\n\n\n“If the refugees on the MS St. Louis were to walk up to a port of entry on our southern border today, the majority’s interpretation would allow immigration officers to refuse even to consider their asylum applications by physically blocking them from stepping foot onto US soil,” Sotomayor wrote.\n\n\nSotomayor read her dissent aloud from the bench, a symbolic move that happens only a few times each term when a justice wants to emphasize their distaste of the majority opinion.\n\n\nThen, in a highly unusual and tense exchange on the bench, Alito fired back at Sotomayor, suggesting that he had been blindsided by her actions. The move broke with the usually highly scripted nature of opinion releases.    \n\n\nAlito seemed to be taken aback by Sotomayor’s strong language, and noted that two administrations had pursued the policy. It is true that the “metering” of asylum seekers began under former President Barack Obama but it was formalized during Trump’s first term.\n\n\nResponding to Sotomayor after her bench statement, Alito described the asylum policy as “orderly and humane,” before turning to his next opinion.\n\n\nThe 6-3 rulings pile up\n\n\n\nThe drama is likely to continue.\n\n\nAs the court continues to resolve some of its most politically charged cases, the justices are increasingly being divided along ideological lines. Earlier this week, the court hit a milestone by handing down more 6-3 decisions this year than it did last year.\n\n\nThe decisions Thursday in the immigration cases, as well as one concerning a restrictive Hawaii gun law, drove that number up even more.\n\n\nIn all, the court has handed down 10 opinions divided 6-3 along ideological lines. That also doesn’t include actions on the so-called emergency docket, some of which have had meaningful impacts.\n\n\nAmong the most significant 6-3 decisions so far this term was the court’s April ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act’s power over redistricting disputes. The decision, and several that followed from it, helped Republicans quickly redraw congressional district in Southern states like Louisiana and Alabama to give the GOP an advantage in this year’s midterm elections.\n\n\nMore rulings sharply dividing the court are likely to come as races to issue its remaining opinions in coming days. The court said it would hand down more opinions Monday and is expected to release decisions at least one other day next week.\n\n\nWaiting in the wings are rulings in cases questioning whether Trump may fire officials at independent federal agencies like the Federal Trade Commission and the legality of state bans on transgender girls competing on girls’ sports teams.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Johnson may have to cancel next week too with his leadership team privately seeing no way out, sources tell CNN — while members are livid.\n\n\n“I’m flying home a day early because we couldn’t get our act together,” Rep. Troy Nehls fumed as he departed the Capitol.\n\n\nAnother Republican, outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie, was even more blunt, calling Trump’s fixation on the voter ID and proof-of-citizenship bill a “distraction” that will cost the party big in the midterms.\n\n\n“The problem is not the election. We won the damn elections. The problem is, we’re wasting our opportunity that the voters gave us. And the Republicans are going to pay for that in November. It’ll be an absolute shellacking if they don’t wake up,” Massie said.\n\n\nIt all amounts to a quickly escalating political crisis for GOP leaders on the Hill, who have watched the president repeatedly uproot their plans in pursuit of his own agenda. The bill, known as the “SAVE America Act,” doesn’t have the votes to get to Trump’s desk — but the president himself won’t take no for an answer. Leadership’s plan, so far, is to hope that Trump and his MAGA loyalists on the Hill agree to back off their demands in the interest of protecting their slim majorities, according to multiple people familiar with the discussions.\n\n\nJohnson may be on track to resolve at least one of those headaches: After a lengthy meeting with Trump at the White House on Thursday, the president publicly called for his MAGA allies in the House to back off their takeover of the floor in their own push for that the elections overhaul bill.\n\n\nTrump urged those GOP rebels in a post on Truth Social: “No more grandstanding, please!”\n\n\nSpeaking after that meeting, Johnson issued his own statement, telling reporters that he and Trump “are on exactly the same page.”\n\n\n“He wants to ensure that we stop any blockade in the House. Congress has work to do, and that’s what we are going to do,” Johnson said, downplaying any intraparty divisions. “This is another day at the office. This is the process in an era with small margins, but we’ll get the job done. We always do.”\n\n\nIt’s not clear, though, if Trump’s plea will work. Shortly after his post, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida wrote on X saying the only way to get her vote to reopen the floor is by attaching Trump’s elections bill to a must-pass defense bill, something GOP leaders do not support.\n\n\nAnd it does little to appease the rising anxiety among the party’s most vulnerable members, who are begging Trump to stop the drama and show why they should still be in charge after November.\n\n\nInstead, Trump is refusing to sign his own leaders’ biggest recent achievement in the bipartisan housing bill. He also tanked a compromise with Democrats that would have renewed a critical national security tool. And now, in the last 24 hours, those MAGA loyalists banded together to effectively shut down the House floor and prevent votes on legislation covering defense policy, appropriations and veterans’ healthcare.\n\n\nAfter returning from a meeting at the White House on Thursday, Johnson told reporters he planned to send to the housing bill to Trump’s desk. It’s not clear though if Trump will sign it.\n\n\nTrump’s decision to scuttle the housing bill signing was, to many Republicans, the most infuriating of his recent moves.\n\n\n“We had bipartisan legislation to address head-on the central issue facing folks across the country now, affordability,” said Rep. Kevin Kiley of California, an independent from California who recently left the GOP, of the housing bill that Trump has so far refused to sign. “And now it’s for the moment been torpedoed, and for what reason? No good reason. So, yeah, that’s annoying to say the least.”\n\n\nMultiple Republicans, including a Trump advisor, said they believe Trump ultimately will sign the housing bill after the revolt in his party this week. Still, Kiley, like several other of his colleagues, described his level of consternation as “high.”\n\n\nRep. Mike Simpson, a senior Republican who rarely criticizes leadership, said of hardliners bringing most House floor action to a halt: “I’m a little pissed off.”\n\n\nEven a member of House GOP leadership, campaign chief Rep. Richard Hudson of North Carolina, described this week’s infighting over the SAVE Act as “frustrating”\n\n\n“I mean we all share the president’s frustration with the Senate’s ability to move the SAVE America Act. We all see it as very, very important, but there are other priorities too we’d like to move,” Hudson said of his conservative colleagues who held the floor hostage this week.\n\n\nIn the critical summer stretch before the midterm elections, Trump has torched much of his party’s strategy to hold onto their narrow margins. And the GOP-led Congress has again been thrown into chaos.\n\n\nIn the House, some of Trump’s most vocal supporters — led by Luna — effectively seized control of the floor as they demanded that the Senate take up Trump’s elections overhaul bill. They are specifically calling for the Senate to blow up the filibuster, something that Senate Majority Leader John Thune and his allies have repeatedly said is impossible this term.\n\n\nSenate GOP leaders, for their part, have made clear they do not have the votes needed to pass the bill in their chamber  or the votes to abolish the filibuster as Trump has demanded.\n\n\nJohnson has continued to stand behind Trump’s elections overhaul push, while deferring to Thune on his chamber’s procedures. (The House has passed prior versions of the elections bill, though not the president’s most recent demands, including restrictions on mail-in voting).\n\n\n“We passed the SAVE Act three times in the House. We’ll do it again. We’re working on that, and I’m going to talk with the president, about these issues and how to get the agenda moving again, and, and it’s gonna be very productive. Looking forward to it,” Johnson said.\n\n\nIt’s a familiar — and frustrating — episode for many House Republicans who’ve watched their hardliner colleagues use their slim margins to make demands before.\n\n\n“Are you asking me, do I think the House Freedom Caucus is a rational actor?” quipped GOP centrist Rep. Zach Nunn. “ I think we all know the answer to that.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

Varios tribunales federales impidieron que la administración siguiera adelante con esas cancelaciones tras las demandas presentadas por defensores de los inmigrantes.\n\n\nLa Corte Suprema falló a favor del Gobierno de Trump respecto al TPS, dictaminando esencialmente que los tribunales no tienen competencia para decidir sobre esta cuestión.\n\n\nEs probable que las impugnaciones legales contra la administración por la revocación del TPS para varios países sean desestimadas debido a la decisión del tribunal, por lo que la administración podrá continuar con sus planes. Las personas protegidas contra la deportación bajo las designaciones que la administración ha intentado revocar perderían dichas protecciones, incluidos sus permisos de trabajo.\n\n\n“Ciertamente es muy posible ahora que la Corte Suprema ha despejado el camino para que la administración lleve a cabo la deportación masiva de este más de un millón de personas provenientes de estos países”, afirmó Ahilan Arulanantham, profesor de derecho de la Facultad de Derecho de la UCLA y abogado que presentó los argumentos en el caso del TPS para Siria ante la Corte Suprema. “Sería el mayor evento de privación de estatus legal de personas en la historia de Estados Unidos”.\n\n\nEstos son los países para los cuales la administración ha intentado cancelar el TPS:\n\n\nHaití\nSiria\nVenezuela\nHonduras\nAfganistán\nNepal\nCamerún\nMyanmar (Birmania)\nEtiopía\nSomalia\nSudán del Sur\nYemen\nNicaragua\n\n\nAl redactar la opinión de la mayoría, el magistrado Samuel Alito sostuvo esencialmente que la Corte Suprema no podía examinar si el Gobierno de Trump había evaluado adecuadamente dicho estatus para haitianos y sirios, dado que la ley impide a los tribunales hacerlo.\n\n\n“Las decisiones del secretario sobre la designación del TPS no están sujetas a revisión judicial”, escribió Alito en nombre del tribunal. “El texto de la disposición que prohíbe la revisión judicial del TPS prevalece claramente sobre la presunción general a favor de dicha revisión”.\n\n\nAlito también señaló que no prosperó la demanda de los litigantes basada en la cláusula de igualdad de protección. Los demandantes haitianos habían argumentado que los comentarios de Trump sobre Haití durante su campaña demostraban animosidad racial.\n\n\n“Ninguna de las declaraciones citadas, ya fuera del presidente o del secretario, tenía un carácter abiertamente racial y, en esencia, todas expresaban posturas políticas que podían fundamentarse en razones ajenas a la raza”, escribió Alito.\n\n\nEl equipo legal que representa a un grupo de ciudadanos haitianos advirtió que la decisión “provocará directamente que miles de personas inocentes sufran muertes violentas e innecesarias”.\n\n\n“Esta decisión pondrá en peligro a los haitianos beneficiarios del TPS que huyeron de su tierra natal en busca de aquello que generaciones de inmigrantes anhelaban al tomar la dolorosa decisión de dejar atrás todo lo que conocían: vivir seguros”, señalaron en un comunicado Geoff Pipoly y Andy Tauber, abogados principales de los haitianos.\n\n\n“Es un día muy triste, no solo para los haitianos con TPS, sino para cualquiera que crea, al igual que nosotros, que los inmigrantes son una de las mayores fortalezas de Estados Unidos”, afirmaron los abogados.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

We will not be commenting any further on this matter.\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLAS CRUCES, N.M. (KVIA) -- The treasurer for the Republican Party of New Mexico has been charged for a deadly crash in Las Cruces, according to documents. Kimberly Skaggs faces charges for knowingly leaving the crash scene and tampering with evidence, according to documents.\n\n\n\nIt happened June 22 near 850 N Fairacres Rd. near W Picacho Avenue in Las Cruces, according to documents.\n\n\n\nDocuments said 40-year-old Andrew Brown crossed the street on his bike when an SUV hit him while the driver went northbound. \n\n\n\nAn officer with the Dona Ana County Sheriff's Office arrived at 2:46 p.m. and met a witness, according to documents. The witness emailed the officer pictures she took of a woman who left the scene. Documents said the pictures showed a black Cadillac Escalade.\n\n\n\nBrown died due to his injuries at the crash site at 4:16 p.m., according to the Office of Medical Investigators.\n\n\n\nAuthorities found about 208 feet of skid marks and debris from the SUV (two small black pieces with grill marks and \"GM\" imprinted on the back of them). Brown's bike broke into several pieces, documents said.\n\n\n\nA sergeant found a flock photo of the Cadillac while it drove east on Picacho Avenue at 2:43 p.m., close to the time of the crash, documents said. \n\n\n\nAnother law enforcement official found a citation the Las Cruces Police Department issued involving the Cadillac for racing, documents said. \n\n\n\nThrough the citation information, officials identified Skaggs as the driver, documents said.\n\n\n\nOfficials also found a video of a black Cadillac driving at a high rate of speed, documents said. \n\n\n\nA deputy got a subpoena to track the suspected vehicle. It showed its location at a home on Northwind Road, which Skaggs owned, documents said.\n\n\n\nOfficials tried to call Skaggs, but the phone went straight to voicemail, according to documents. \n\n\n\nThe next day, June 23, at 6:41 p.m., officials executed a search warrant to retrieve the Cadillac, documents said. \n\n\n\nAuthorities found blood splattered near the front right wheel and a damaged front bumper, according to documents. The front bumper also had a tire mark that looked like it came from a bike tire. \n\n\n\nAdditionally, the front bumper had two missing pieces -- matching the pieces found at the crash site, documents said. \n\n\n\nJail records said Skaggs turned herself in for arrest Wednesday. She booked into the Dona Ana County Detention Center.\n\n\n\nSkaggs is also a former chair of the Dona Ana County Republican Party. \n\n\n\nThis is a developing story. ABC-7 reached out to the Dona Ana County Sheriff's Office and the Republican Party of New Mexico for more information. \n\n\n\nYou can read the court documents detailing the investigation below.\n\n\n\nDOC062526Download\n\n\n\n\nThe post Former New Mexico Republican Party treasurer charged in deadly Las Cruces hit-and-run appeared first on KVIA.","url":"https://kvia.com/news/crime/2026/06/25/kimberly-skaggs-hit-and-run/","source":"KVIA ABC-7","author":"Gabrielle Lopez","publishDate":"2026-06-25T18:52:01.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkvia.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2Fkimberly-skaggs-mug.png","slug":"former-new-mexico-republican-party-treasurer-charged-in-deadly-las-cruces-hit-and-run"},{"id":"sddlx5","title":"DeSantis confirma el fin del centro de detención de inmigrantes Alligator Alcatraz","excerpt":"Por Isabel Rosales y Rebekah Riess, CNN\n\n\nTodos los inmigrantes detenidos que anteriormente estaban recluidos en la controvertida instalación de detención de Florida apodada “Alligator Alcatraz” han sido trasladados a otras instalaciones federales, dijo el jueves el gobernador de Florida, Ron DeS...","content":"Por Isabel Rosales y Rebekah Riess, CNN\n\n\nTodos los inmigrantes detenidos que anteriormente estaban recluidos en la controvertida instalación de detención de Florida apodada “Alligator Alcatraz” han sido trasladados a otras instalaciones federales, dijo el jueves el gobernador de Florida, Ron DeSantis, en una conferencia de prensa conjunta con el zar de la frontera, Tom Homan, y Anthony Coker, director ejecutivo de la Junta Estatal de Aplicación de la Ley de Inmigración de Florida.\n\n\nLos “esfuerzos de desmovilización” en la instalación ya están en marcha, dijo DeSantis.\n\n\nDeSantis calificó la instalación como un éxito, diciendo que había conducido a “casi 21.000 deportaciones”, y reiteró que siempre se pretendió que fuera temporal. Más de 30.000 detenidos han sido procesados en ambas instalaciones administradas por el estado, incluida la “Deportation Depot” en el condado de Baker, dijo.\n\n\n“Alligator Alcatraz cumplió el papel para el que fue diseñada”, dijo DeSantis. “Pusimos esto en marcha. Reforzamos recursos críticos. Construimos infraestructura crítica. Pudimos gestionar operaciones muy complejas y pudimos ejecutar la misión de manera eficiente cuando se nos requirió. No hay duda de que esta misión ha hecho que el estado de Florida sea más seguro”.\n\n\nFlorida espera ser reembolsada por completo por el Gobierno federal por los costos de la instalación y ya ha recibido un primer desembolso, dijo DeSantis.\n\n\nLa desmovilización no señala el fin de la relación entre Florida y el Gobierno federal, dijeron DeSantis y Homan, y añadieron que la instalación del condado de Baker en Florida sigue operativa.\n\n\n“Esto es una continuación. Seguiremos haciendo cumplir las leyes de inmigración, seguiremos priorizando las amenazas a la seguridad pública”, dijo Homan.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

More than 160 people have been confirmed dead on Thursday morning with hundreds more injured, and the death toll is expected to rise.\n\n\nCNN is tracking developments, in maps and charts.\n\n\nThe larger 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck only 39 seconds after a 7.2 magnitude foreshock. This marks the largest recorded earthquake in Venezuela for more than a century.\n\n\nBoth are classified as “major” earthquakes, and were felt both in Venezuela and in neighboring Colombia. Serious damage to buildings and infrastructure is expected to be reported in the coming days.\n\n\nCountries around the Caribbean Sea are vulnerable to major earthquakes because of the tectonic plates in the region.\n\n\nEarthquakes are measured by magnitude on a logarithmic scale — so each whole number increase translates to 32 times more energy released by the quake. Due to how the scale works, the second 7.5 magnitude quake was actually twice as large as the first, which had a magnitude of 7.2.\n\n\nInternet connectivity dropped sharply across the Venezuela as the quakes damaged power and telecommunications infrastructure, according to data from watchdog Netblocks.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The following day, the US Supreme Court gave President Donald Trump the green light to end the legal status for potentially millions of foreign nationals who hail from conflict-hit countries like Haiti and Syria.\n\n\nThe decision over what’s known as Temporary Protected Status (TPS) means more than 350,000 Haitians could lose their work authorizations and ability to remain in the country, unless they become eligible for some other form of protection.\n\n\nRights groups and experts have warned that Haiti –– a country where more than 2,300 people have been killed by gang attacks this year and 1.5 million more have been displaced –– is not safe for nationals to go back.\n\n\nFear about the impending ruling against TPS was palpable on Wednesday among Haitian fans. Outside Atlanta Stadium, Haitian citizen Jude Exama held a sign drawing attention to what’s happening in his home country.\n\n\n“I’m not returning,” Exama said. “If tomorrow my country has security, I’ll return,” he told CNN while holding a sign calling for national dialogue to restore peace in Haiti.\n\n\nOnce a medical student in Port-au-Prince, Exama came to the US two years ago on humanitarian parole after an armed attack on his medical school and affiliated hospital, which has been shut ever since. He applied for TPS and asylum after entering the US and has been awaiting a decision while working in Georgia as a food delivery driver, sending money to his family in Haiti.\n\n\nWhen Exama woke up to the news about the Supreme Court ruling on Thursday, he told CNN that leaving the US after his work permit expires isn’t an option.\n\n\n“I myself have no choice but to stay in the country,” he told CNN on the phone. “How do you think I can go and live in a country like that… I would rather starve to death hiding from immigration than live in open hell in Haiti.”\n\n\n‘Going back to Haiti will be fatal for us’\n\n\n\nIn New Jersey, Franndy Lesperance and his 10-year-old son celebrated Haiti’s World Cup journey from home.\n\n\n“After 52 years out, it’s amazing to be back,” he told CNN, referring to how long it’s been since Haiti’s last World Cup qualification. But through the festivities, the fate of his pending TPS case weighed heavy on him.\n\n\nHe came to the US in 2023 on humanitarian parole with his son.\n\n\nIn order to apply for TPS, the applicant must be in the US. While his son was granted temporary deportation protections, Lesperance has a work permit that is set to expire next year. Lesperance had also applied for TPS but Thursday’s ruling has put an end to that pathway.\n\n\n“I had in my mind they will not approve (TPS) because this administration doesn’t want foreigners in the country,” Lesperance told CNN on Thursday morning after learning of the Supreme Court decision. Despite having braced for this moment, he worries what it means for immigrants like him and his son.\n\n\n“I don’t know what’s next,” he says, and is seeking consult from a lawyer.\n\n\nLesperance was a journalist and human rights activist when he lived in Haiti’s capital Port-au-Prince, where he faced threats and escaped kidnapping attempts.\n\n\nHe now works as an operator at a manufacturing plant and sends money back to Haiti, where his ex-wife and six-year-old daughter remain in a provincial town. Their application for humanitarian parole was rejected in 2023, around the same time they had to flee the largely gang-controlled capital.\n\n\nHe and his son are scared at the thought of having to return and possibly not having a source of income for their entire family. “Going back to Haiti will be fatal for us,” Lesperance said.\n\n\nA country ‘terrorized’\n\n\n\nDuring a visit to the country this month, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the “crisis of extraordinary magnitude” he saw there was rooted in insecurity as gangs terrorized the country.\n\n\nAt a watch party at Lakou Fet, a Haitian cultural festival in Atlanta, Haiti fans echoed Guterres’ sentiment on Wednesday over plates of plantains and djon djon, a Haitian rice dish.\n\n\n“The situation in Haiti – it’s unbearable right now,” Joslin Alberique, of Haitian descent said as he sipped a red and blue cocktail, matching the team colors. “If you’re not living in the outskirts, it’s kind of hard to just live a normal life,” he told CNN as fans danced to Caribbean music.\n\n\n“They should be able to come here, they work hard,” said Natasha, a Haitian-American who declined to give her full name.\n\n\nWhile most of her close family are US citizens, she still worries about her community at large. “If they lose TPS, you have a lot of people being displaced, going back to a country they haven’t gone to in years. Where are they going to go?” she told CNN.\n\n\nIn Los Angeles, Reginald Joseph has also been living under the shadow of the ruling on TPS for Haitians like him. He works two jobs –– a security guard and Uber driver –– to help support his family back in the Caribbean country, which is one of the most remittance-dependent in the world.\n\n\nHis hometown of Petite Riviere in Haiti’s main agricultural region, the Artibonite, has been ravaged by armed attacks. His house has since been destroyed, and his family has fled the area.\n\n\n“I’m really worried because my whole family depends on me,” he told CNN. “I am the one taking care of my family.”\n\n\nHe’s been in the US since September 2023, sending money back to his mother, three sisters, and two young daughters – who he hasn’t seen since. They’re fully dependent on his income, with bleak employment prospects, especially after gang attacks destroyed the farmland they used to work on.\n\n\nHis children often ask him when he’ll come home – but all he can say is that he’s in America for them. His decision to come to the US and obtain TPS wasn’t an easy one – but it was a lifeline for his family.\n\n\nWithout his TPS status, his choices are next to none, he says. “If I were deported, things would be even worse,” Joseph said.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

It has been updated to say it will shut down Aug. 31.\n\n\n\nEL PASO, Texas (KVIA)-- El Paso City Council voted against allocating one-time funding of $430,000 from American Rescue Plan Act investment interest revenue. As a result, the Welcome Center for the homeless will stop operations Aug. 31.\n\n\n\nThe Welcome Center, which provides initial support services to homeless people through the Opportunity Center for the Homeless.\n\n\n\nEl Paso Mayor Renard Johnson cast the tie-breaking vote.\n\n\n\n\"August 1st will be the last day that we will operate the welcome center and that's ran by the Opportunity Center,\" said Nickole Heater Rodriguez, the Director of Community and Human Development.\n\n\n\nThe Opportunity Center told ABC-7 the Welcome Center will close later in the month.\n\n\n\nRodriguez said that on average the Welcome Center helps 50 people a day. \n\n\n\n\"And those people will be on the street in front of businesses, in front of homes. There will definitely be a more visible effect,\" said District 8 City Rep. Chris Canales.\n\n\n\nThe council initially approved using the ARPA interest savings for the center. However, District 1 City Representative Alejandra Chávez later moved to reconsider her vote. A second vote ended in a tie, and Mayor Renard Johnson cast the deciding vote against using the funds.\n\n\n\nThe decision drew emotional reactions from several council members.\n\n\n\n\"Another sad day with this council. I'm dismayed. I'm disappointed, brokenhearted by this vote today,\" one council member said. \"It sends a really clear message where our priorities are in this city.\"\n\n\n\nCity officials warned the closure will have immediate consequences, saying people who rely on the center's services will instead be on the streets.\n\n\n\n\"There will definitely be a more visible effect,\" officials said, noting more people may end up in front of businesses and homes.\n\n\n\nIn an interview, Johnson said he supports finding a long-term solution rather than relying on one-time funding.\n\n\n\n\"There's a number that we're going to still continue to fund,\" Johnson said. \"I don't think we're done looking at this. I think we need to go in and really come up with a sustainable model.\"\n\n\n\nOpportunity Center Executive Director John Martin said the Welcome Center serves about 1,200 people each year and provides a separate entry point for families and vulnerable individuals seeking help.\n\n\n\n\"If you've got a mother with young children that would like to come in to receive services, you're not going to feel comfortable walking into a facility that houses adult men,\" Martin said. \"It's the entryway.\"\n\n\n\nMartin said he was disappointed with the council's decision because the focus should remain on helping people in need.\n\n\n\nDistrict 7 City Representative Lily Limón, who voted in favor of the funding, criticized the outcome.\n\n\n\n\"Council turned its back on the homeless people in this community. It was clear — you can't say anything else but that,\" Limón said.\n\n\n\nLimón said she hopes the community will rally behind the Welcome Center and that future funding efforts will continue. Johnson also said he hopes the issue returns to the council for further consideration before the center closes.\n\n\n\n\nThe post Welcome Center to stop operations Aug. 31 appeared first on KVIA.","url":"https://kvia.com/news/2026/06/25/welcome-center-to-stop-operations-august-1/","source":"KVIA ABC-7","author":"Lauren Bly","publishDate":"2026-06-25T18:20:58.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkvia.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2FScreenshot-2026-06-25-at-12.17.16-PM.png","slug":"welcome-center-to-stop-operations-aug-31"},{"id":"gw9k34","title":"A pilot incapacitated, a crash landing and a close call.

None of the crashes were related, but 21 people were killed.\n\n\nPassengers should feel safe on planes; however, these incidents happen all over the world, according to Ed Pierson, executive director of the Foundation for Aviation Safety.\n\n\n“What you really need to do is you need to investigate these and you need to go, ‘OK, what happened, how can we fix it, (and) let’s not make that mistake again,’” he said.\n\n\nHere’s what we know about what is happening in the skies.\n\n\nAir Canada flight makes emergency landing after pilot is incapacitated\n\n\n\nThe pilot of Air Canada Flight 7664, traveling to Halifax, Nova Scotia, from Newark Liberty International Airport, had a medical emergency in the cockpit.\n\n\n“The moment the plane swerved, I knew something was wrong because it was not turbulence,” passenger Rodney McDonald told ABC. “One of the flight attendants entered the cockpit frantically and a few moments later, he was dragging one of the pilots out of the cockpit.”\n\n\nThe flight, operated by PAL Airlines, diverted to Boston Logan International Airport. The first officer took over flying, made an emergency landing and stopped just off the runway.\n\n\n“During the flight, the captain experienced a medical issue and was removed from the flight deck as per safety protocols,” the airline said in a statement. “Pilots are trained to fly aircraft and land safely without the assistance of a second pilot.”\n\n\nMcDonald told ABC it was clear the captain “was not in control of his faculties” and he, in consultation with a nurse onboard, restrained him.\n\n\n“(We) worked to get him under control. It was a fairly strenuous 40 minutes of keeping him down and using as many seatbelts as we could to restrain his legs, arms and chest,” McDonald said.\n\n\nVideo from CNN affiliate WCVB showed emergency crews surrounding the plane and helping the pilot down the stairs to a waiting ambulance. He was then taken to a Boston hospital.\n\n\nThere were 61 passengers on the plane, according to Air Canada which said it was working to help everyone “complete their journeys as soon as possible.”\n\n\nPlane with 10 people onboard crash lands in Alaska\n\n\n\nA passenger on a small commercial airplane captured dramatic video of the moment the Cessna 208 Caravan made an emergency crash landing in rural Alaska on Monday.\n\n\nThe Wright Air Service commuter flight connected the small Alaska towns of Coldfoot and Anaktuvuk Pass, near Gates of the Arctic National Park.\n\n\nThe pilot reported engine problems shortly after takeoff, which led to the forced landing, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.\n\n\nVideo taken by passenger Brett Fillipi showed the single engine propeller plane bouncing to a stop in a mountain meadow with its nose slamming into the ground.\n\n\n“Something went wrong with the plane and we had to do an emergency landing out here in the bush,” Fillipi said as he and the other passengers applauded the pilot.\n\n\nTen people were on board the 7-year-old plane. It is unclear whether anyone was injured, but video shows all of the passengers walking around after exiting the aircraft.\n\n\nThe plane was significantly damaged and the passengers were rescued by helicopter.\n\n\nWright Air carries about 40,000 passengers a year on scheduled flights, according to its website, including trips to small towns like Anaktuvuk Pass, which depend on air travel to connect to the outside world.\n\n\n“It is our intention to maintain and operate with the highest level of safety standards while providing the best customer care possible,” the website states.\n\n\nThe Federal Aviation Administration and NTSB are investigating what caused the crash.\n\n\nClose call between two passenger jets in Boston\n\n\n\nA jet landing in Boston nearly collided with another plane taking off on an intersecting runway, prompting FAA and NTSB investigations.\n\n\nThe pilots of Delta Air Lines Flight 2351 aborted their approach for landing at Boston Logan International Airport around 11:30 a.m. Saturday when they saw American Airlines Flight 3161 accelerating for takeoff on a perpendicular runway.\n\n\nThe Delta pilots circled the airport, in a procedure called a go-around, before landing safely on their second attempt. The planes were only several hundred feet apart at their closest point.\n\n\nA go-around is a safety maneuver pilots can use when there is a problem with an approach. It can be as simple as reacting to a change in the wind but it is also used for more serious “runway incursions,” where planes, vehicles or people are incorrectly on a runway.\n\n\nDespite recent high-profile runway incursions, including the fatal collision of an Air Canada flight landing at New York’s La Guardia Airport with a fire truck crossing the runway, the FAA says the number has actually declined.\n\n\nIn 2023, the FAA recorded 21 serious runway incursions, but so far in 2026, the FAA has reported only four. Sometimes, stopping a close call from becoming a disaster comes down to a single person seeing it and taking action.\n\n\n“These close calls remind us of the tight margins for the calculations made by pilots and air traffic controllers,” said Sen.

It's an effort to teach hundreds of kids and grownups basic swimming safety.\n\n\n\nWLSL started in 2011 and taught more than 3,000 swimmers since its debut, Wet 'N' Wild said. \n\n\n\nIt's not just a local effort, though. \n\n\n\nChandra Edwards-Cottingham, the water park's president, said WLSL is part of the World Water Park Association and involves people around the globe.\n\n\n\n\"As summer heats up and families plan their 4th of July activities, this free lesson gives them access to critical water safety skills right when they need them the most.\" Edwards-Cottingham said.\n\n\n\nAccording to Wet 'N' Wild, drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 1-4. The July 4th weekend constantly sees a rise in water-related accidents, the water park said.\n\n\n\nHowever, it said swim lessons can reduce drowning risk by 88 percent.\n\n\n\nAt the WLSL, swimmers learn basic skills like floating, kicking and even opening their eyes underwater, the water park said.\n\n\n\n\"Kids who learn how to swim by the third grade have a skill that will last them a lifetime,\" Edwards-Cottingham said. \n\n\n\nShe said even teaching a baby how to turn so their belly faces up in the water is a vital skill.\n\n\n\nFor the WLSL, Edwards-Cottingham said children as little as 3 years old can participate in the free lesson.\n\n\n\nThe lessons don't apply to just swimming. Since last year's event, parents have been learning how to help someone who's been submerged under water with CPR, according to Edwards-Cottingham.\n\n\n\nSergio Quintero, who registered his daughter for the WLSL, said the lessons not only help children understand the importance of being safe in the pool, but it also gives them an opportunity to spend time outside.\n\n\n\nQuintero's daughter told ABC-7 she was \"ready to get in there\" and was excited to take her first WLSL lesson.\nThe post World’s Largest Swimming Lesson teaches families to swim safely at Wet ‘N’ Wild Waterworld appeared first on KVIA.","url":"https://kvia.com/news/safety/2026/06/25/wet-n-wild-safety-swimming-lesson/","source":"KVIA ABC-7","author":"Gabrielle Lopez","publishDate":"2026-06-25T17:42:04.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkvia.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2Fworlds-largest-swimming-lesson.png","slug":"worlds-largest-swimming-lesson-teaches-families-to-swim-safely-at-wet-n-wild-waterworld"},{"id":"wpebbn","title":"Hospitales desbordados: los terremotos en Venezuela ponen a prueba un sistema de salud que lleva años de crisis","excerpt":"Por Gonzalo Zegarra, CNN en Español\n\n\nLa emergencia sanitaria en Venezuela por los terremotos del miércoles golpean un sistema de salud que arrastra una larga crisis por años de deterioro y falta de inversión, un panorama que no se modificó sustancialmente en los últimos meses con los cambios en ...","content":"Por Gonzalo Zegarra, CNN en Español\n\n\nLa emergencia sanitaria en Venezuela por los terremotos del miércoles golpean un sistema de salud que arrastra una larga crisis por años de deterioro y falta de inversión, un panorama que no se modificó sustancialmente en los últimos meses con los cambios en el Gobierno y la asistencia enviada por Estados Unidos, y vuelve a ser puesto a prueba con otro desastre natural.\n\n\nLas primeras imágenes muestran hospitales desbordados, con salas improvisadas en pasillos y hasta en la calle por el alto número de heridos, que todavía está en cifras preliminares.\n\n\n“El sistema tiene muchos años con un deterioro importante. Una situación como esta no lo encuentra en las mejores condiciones. En líneas generales, las condiciones son de preocupación”, dijo a CNN el especialista en políticas públicas de salud Marino González, miembro de la Academia Nacional de Medicina de Venezuela.\n\n\nEl Ministerio de Salud informó que activó la red de ocho hospitales públicos en la Gran Caracas (que abarca la mayoría de las zonas afectadas) y a ello se suman 12 clínicas privadas para tareas de triaje, estabilización y hospitalización tras los terremotos.\n\n\n“El factor crítico es la gestión de los recursos. Existe ya una coordinación de recursos públicos y privados, esa es una buena noticia”, comentó González.\n\n\nLa decisión pasa por administrar los pocos recursos disponibles. El último reporte de la Encuesta Nacional de Hospitales, una iniciativa de la organización Médicos por la Salud que monitorea el sistema desde hace más de una década, arrojó en 2024 un déficit de cerca del 60 % de la capacidad quirúrgica, con unos cuatro quirófanos operativos en promedio cuando la capacidad arquitectónica por hospital es de unos 10.\n\n\nAdemás, relevó que en el 91 % de los centros monitoreados se pide a los pacientes una lista de insumos para poder ser ingresados a salas de operación, mientras que el índice de desabastecimiento de insumos de emergencia era del 36 %.\n\n\nAdemás, el escenario se complica lejos de la capital, donde están los servicios de mayor complejidad.\n\n\nEn el estado La Guaira, aunque está a unos kilómetros al norte de Caracas, el escenario cambia. “A pesar de que queda cerca, tiene distintas restricciones, ya sea por la topografía de la zona, los servicios de esa parte no tienen ingual complejidad. Las personas que requieren asistencia tendrían que ser trasladadas a los sitios de mayores servicios que están en Caracas, eso plantea un problema de traslado”, explicó González.\n\n\nEl traslado también aplica para el personal de salud, que puede ser reubicado para las zonas donde se necesitan más recursos. Sin embargo, además de los insumos, el factor humano también ha sufrido una merma reciente, con muchos profesionales que salieron del país como parte del éxodo de la última década.\n\n\nEn 2025, Venezuela destinó un 3,5 % del presupuesto en salud, según datos de Transparencia, muy por debajo menos del 10 % de promedio mundial y también del 6 % que recomienda como piso la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Un reporte de CNN publicado a fines de mayo reflejó la dura realidad para muchos pacientes, especialmente en el área oncológica, por la falta de recursos, tratamientos y medicinas accesibles. CNN se comunicó con el Ministerio de Salud para conocer su versión sobre las condiciones hospitalarias y no recibió respuesta.\n\n\nLa presidenta encargada, Delcy Rodríguez, entregó insumos médicos en centros de salud a inicios de mayo y reconoció en ese acto que el sistema está “golpeado”, lo que atribuyó a las sanciones internacionales, y se comprometió a “priorizar la atención inmediata y gratuita”. Si bien las sanciones afectan la economía del país, están vigentes desde hace una década, mientras que el deterioro del sistema lleva muchos más años.\n\n\nGonzález, profesor de la Universidad Simón Bolívar, explicó que ante un terremoto, la atención se centra en las personas con golpes de diversos tipos: “La principal demanda son unidades especializadas de politraumatizados. Los centros deben tener unidades especializadas en atención de trauma, pero requieren muchos equipos, tecnología, y el recurso humano para eso, como traumatólogos e intensivistas”.\n\n\n“En cuestión de horas, se debe tener un balance muy rápido de qué se necesita, quién lo puede aportar y en cuánto tiempo”, enfatizó. La tarea no solo va para el sector de salud, sino que va en coordinación con los servicios de protección civil, los bomberos y cuerpos de seguridad, o incluso escuelas, que algunas ya fueron habilitadas como refugios y centros de acopio.\n\n\n“Tiene que ser algo muy inmediato: la capacidad de gestión del shock”, dijo González. “Lamentablemente, en lo que significa gestión de desastres, Venezuela es un país de mucho riesgo. Las dificultades de coordinación ha sido importante en los últimos años. Si a eso le agrega las restriccioens de inversión pública, que han sido importantes, las condiciones son preocupantes”, anotó.\n\n\nDecenas de gobiernos ya ofrecieron asistencia al país, tanto en tareas de búsqueda y rescate como en asistencia humanitaria.\n\n\n“Es increíble la magnitud de los daños”, declaró a CNN Loyce Pace, directora regional de la Cruz Roja para las Américas Hasta la oficina de la organización quedó dañada por el sismo y su personal debió desplazarse.\n\n\n“Francamente, la Cruz Roja de Venezuela ya estaba respondiendo a esta prolongada crisis en Venezuela. Por eso, estábamos preparados, al igual que ellos, y habíamos preposicionado diversos suministros, desde kits de higiene hasta dispositivos médicos”, agregó.\n\n\nA diferencia de una pandemia, que tiene una cuota de gradualismo, un desastre natural pocas veces da tiempo de preparación y despliegue, más allá de tareas de prevención. “Incluso en países desarrollados, en estos casos es plenamente justificado el apoyo internacional”, dijo González.\n\n\nLa mandataria encargada también anunció la creación de un fondo inicial de 200 millones de dólares con recursos disponibles del Fondo Monetario Internacional para la reconstrucción y dio instrucciones para crear otro fondo para la “atención inmediata de las víctimas”.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Tienen prácticamente garantizado el liderato del Grupo D y saben cuándo y dónde (y probablemente contra quién) jugarán después.\n\n\nSin embargo, mientras el país los apoya de una manera nunca vista en la historia del fútbol masculino estadounidense, ellos realmente quieren hacerlo.\n\n\n“Cuando ganas tu último partido, entras al siguiente con ese pequeño extra”, dijo Christian Pulisic a los periodistas el miércoles.\n\n\n“Esa sensación de mentalidad ganadora simplemente… se te queda. Así que lo quieres, lo quieres sin duda. Entrar a las rondas de eliminación directa definitivamente se sentirá mejor con una victoria. Por eso vamos a ir a buscarla, y es una oportunidad, una oportunidad increíble”.\n\n\nEE.UU. se enfrenta a Turquía a las 10 p.m. (hora de Miami), en el SoFi Stadium, a las afueras de Los Ángeles, el mismo escenario donde los estadounidenses aplastaron 4-1 a Paraguay en su debut. Junto con la victoria 2-0 sobre Australia hace seis días, EE.UU. ganó dos partidos en la fase de grupos de la Copa del Mundo por primera vez desde el torneo inaugural de 1930.\n\n\nEsas victorias iniciales permitieron a los aficionados estadounidenses soñar.Paraguay y Australia no son exactamente equipos de primer nivel, pero EE.UU. se vio impresionante en ambos partidos y evocó días de cálculos de llaves mundialistas mientras los aficionados estadounidenses esperan llegar lejos en este torneo que se juega en casa.\n\n\nPero ese tipo de ensoñación puede llevar a tropiezos y Turquía, enojada y decepcionada por dos derrotas que llegaron en partidos que en gran medida dominaron, no quiere irse a casa sin ningún resultado positivo en esta Copa del Mundo 2026.\n\n\nEs una receta para un clásico partido trampa. Ese tipo de bajón mental es algo para lo que el entrenador Mauricio Pochettino ha estado preparando a su equipo toda la semana.\n\n\nEl defensor Mark McKenzie describió sesiones de entrenamiento intensas desde la victoria de la semana pasada sobre Australia y exigencias intensas de Pochettino y su cuerpo técnico para mantenerse concentrados. Los jugadores parecen estar divirtiéndose y están de buen ánimo, pero McKenize describió una intensidad subyacente que ha marcado esta semana.\n\n\n“Mauricio y el cuerpo técnico han sido claros y transparentes sobre lo que quieren lograr en los entrenamientos, asegurándose de que sea preciso, intenso, y asegurándose de que lleguemos al partido sintiéndonos al 100 % para que podamos salir ahí y rendir al máximo”, le dijo a CNN Sports.\n\n\nPochettino indicó que enfatizó a su equipo que el conjunto turco no se irá en silencio.\n\n\n“Es un partido de Copa del Mundo en el que cuando defiendes tu camiseta, tu bandera, tu futuro, siempre se trata de orgullo”, dijo Pochettino a los periodistas. “No tengo dudas de que el equipo turco será competitivo mañana. Tienen buenos jugadores, por supuesto, están eliminados, pero… no estamos pensando que va a ser un partido que va a ser fácil, conocemos la calidad.\n\n\n“Creo que no es mi elección analizar por qué quedaron eliminados, pero… por la manera en que jugaron los dos partidos, incluso si no ganaron, creo que merecían más, en mi opinión”.\n\n\nEE.UU. recibirá un impulso por el posible regreso de Pulisic al equipo después de que se perdió el segundo partido del grupo contra Australia la semana pasada. El mediocampista ofensivo sufrió una patada en la pantorrilla unos días antes del partido inaugural contra Paraguay y jugó los primeros 45 minutos del torneo, sin sentir mucho dolor gracias a la adrenalina.\n\n\nPulisic dijo a los periodistas el miércoles que el dolor de la lesión —una contusión o distensión, aseguró— apareció durante el descanso y se tomó la decisión, mientras EE.UU. estaba arriba por tres goles en ese momento, de que fuera sustituido. La carrera para ponerse a punto antes del segundo partido finalmente no se completó a tiempo, pero Pulisic dijo el miércoles que se siente bien y espera jugar.\n\n\nPochettino confirmó el miércoles por la noche que Pulisic está en condiciones, pero aún no se ha tomado la decisión sobre cuánto jugará.\n\n\n“Tenemos que decidir si es posible jugar desde el inicio o estar en el banco y, lamentablemente, quizá jugar en el segundo tiempo”, dijo el argentino.\n\n\nEl equipo de EE.UU. que saltará a la cancha el jueves por la noche se verá distinto a los inicialistas de los dos primeros partidos. Jugadores como Chris Richards, Tyler Adams, Folarin Balogun y Antonee Robinson han recibido tarjetas amarillas en este torneo y recibir otra amarilla significaría quedar suspendidos para el partido de dieciseisavos de final del 1 de julio.\n\n\nPochettino dijo que no vale la pena correr el riesgo de perder a uno de esos jugadores.\n\n\n“No es necesario correr un riesgo y luego recibir otra tarjeta amarilla y no estar disponible para la siguiente fase”, comentó, “y creo que esa es una respuesta un poco normal y fácil al comienzo”.\n\n\nEsa siguiente fase se acerca. La victoria de Bosnia y Herzegovina sobre Qatar el miércoles preparó el escenario para que los Zmajevi, por ahora, sean el rival de EE.UU. la próxima semana en Santa Clara, en el Levi’s Stadium, cuando comiencen las rondas de eliminación directa.\n\n\nEl Mundial ampliado, combinado con el estatus de EE.UU. como país anfitrión y las actuaciones dominantes en los dos primeros partidos, ha permitido a los pronosticadores trazar una ruta para EE.UU. a través de las rondas de eliminación directa. Estados Unidos ha ganado un total de un partido de eliminación directa en su historia en la mayor vitrina deportiva del mundo, y han pasado 24 años desde que eso ocurrió.\n\n\nEl apoyo al equipo en Los Ángeles y Seattle ha sido fuerte y orgulloso —“día y noche” fue como Pochettino describió el cambio en el respaldo de los aficionados respecto de antes del torneo— y hay una conexión genuina entre la afición y el plantel.\n\n\n“La conexión fue lo más difícil (de) crear”, afirmó Pochettino. “Y ahora, cuando conectas con los aficionados y la gente, es emocionante. Nuestros jugadores y el equipo están muy entusiasmados por crear mañana aquí y sentir la conexión, porque esa es una sensación y una emoción únicas que puedes… es difícil conseguir en otro lugar; es la adrenalina que te gusta sentir en el cuerpo cuando esa conexión sucede”.\n\n\nEs algo difícil de construir y puede ser aún más difícil de mantener.\n\n\nLas buenas vibras alrededor de la selección masculina de fútbol de EE.UU. en este momento son bastante inéditas. Los fracasos históricos se están dejando de lado, y las deficiencias culturales y estructurales del juego masculino internacional son objeto de burlas. Los aficionados de este equipo, en general, están tan confiados en la selección masculina de fútbol de EE.UU. como nunca.\n\n\nEs un globo que sigue inflándose, y una derrota ante Turquía —aunque no afectará el camino de EE.UU. en el resto del torneo— podría ser la aguja que lo reviente y permita que esas realidades vuelvan a irrumpir.\n\n\nMcKenzie dijo que no se ha pensado en dejar que este verano de amor por el fútbol encuentre un bache.\n\n\n“Hemos tenido dos actuaciones sólidas hasta ahora, pero eso no va a cambiar nuestra mentalidad, como para frenarnos de hacer lo que queremos hacer, y eso es ganar cada partido, ¿no?”, dijo. “Queremos ganar todo esto. Llegamos a este torneo con esa mentalidad y sin intentar quedarnos cortos de ese objetivo”.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

Kennedy Jr.\n\n\n“Utilizar como arma la misma agencia encargada de protegerlos representa una escalada inaceptable del exceso de poder del Ejecutivo y socava el compromiso de nuestro país con el debido proceso”, agregó. No está claro si todos los niños identificados serán expulsados rápidamente.\n\n\nEl senador por Oregon, quien es el principal demócrata del Comité de Finanzas del Senado —que supervisa la Oficina de Reasentamiento de Refugiados (ORR, por sus siglas en inglés)—, exigió la suspensión inmediata de “cualquier iniciativa de evaluación y cualquier acción prevista de expulsión”, además de información adicional sobre el operativo.\n\n\nEn un comunicado, un portavoz del Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos (HHS, por sus siglas en inglés) dijo: “A pesar de esta irresponsable campaña para sembrar miedo, no existen planes para tomar como objetivo a estos niños. El Gobierno de Biden aceleró la entrega de estos menores sin una verificación adecuada de los patrocinadores, dejando a miles expuestos a abusos, explotación y trata de personas. El Gobierno de Trump trabaja para identificar a los padres o tutores legales de los niños extranjeros no acompañados bajo nuestro cuidado, porque garantizar que cada menor sea entregado a un patrocinador debidamente verificado es nuestra máxima prioridad”.\n\n\nLa ORR, que forma parte del HHS, está encargada del cuidado de los niños migrantes que llegan solos a la frontera sur de EE.UU. Estos menores, que por lo general huyen de condiciones peligrosas en sus países de origen, suelen intentar reunirse con uno de sus padres, un familiar o un tutor que ya se encuentra en Estados Unidos.\n\n\nLos niños incluidos en la lista descrita por Wyden están clasificados como menores sin patrocinador en EE.UU. y fueron “principalmente ubicados en hogares de acogida de largo plazo administrados por proveedores de la ORR” en todo el país. Todos han permanecido bajo custodia durante al menos 180 días.\n\n\nHasta mayo, había un promedio de 1.816 niños no acompañados bajo custodia de la ORR, según datos federales. La mayoría proviene de Centroamérica.\n\n\nNo está claro qué edad tienen los menores ni qué procedimiento migratorio planea utilizar el Gobierno para expulsarlos. Anteriormente, funcionarios del Gobierno de Trump describieron el intento de expulsar a niños guatemaltecos como repatriaciones, al señalar que existía coordinación y solicitudes del Gobierno de Guatemala.\n\n\n“El objetivo es que los niños regresen con sus familias y sus padres, y no que permanezcan en Estados Unidos con patrocinadores no verificados o que no se encuentren legalmente en el país”, dijo a CNN un exalto funcionario del HHS, en referencia a las familias de los menores en sus países de origen.\n\n\nDurante los últimos meses, la ORR ha identificado a menores bajo custodia que podrían ser expulsados de Estados Unidos, salvo que estén solicitando determinadas protecciones, según el exalto funcionario del HHS.\n\n\nDefensores de los derechos de los inmigrantes y abogados que trabajan con niños migrantes han expresado su preocupación por el riesgo de que los menores sean enviados de regreso a las mismas condiciones de las que huyeron. Sostienen que devolverlos a sus países de origen no siempre responde a su interés superior.\n\n\nLos niños migrantes no acompañados atraviesan procedimientos migratorios para determinar si reúnen los requisitos para recibir protección en Estados Unidos, dadas las condiciones en sus países de origen. Según Wyden, la mayoría de los más de 500 menores identificados cuenta con representación legal en esos procesos.\n\n\n“Este Gobierno ha demostrado repetidamente que no actúa teniendo en cuenta el interés superior de los niños. Aunque todavía no sabemos exactamente qué planea hacer, sí sabemos que está dispuesto a actuar con crueldad y al margen de la ley cuando se trata de esta población infantil profundamente vulnerable”, dijo en un comunicado Neha Desai, directora ejecutiva de Children’s Human Rights & Dignity del National Center for Youth Law.\n\n\nEl año pasado, el intento del Gobierno de devolver a Guatemala a niños bajo custodia provocó una movilización de abogados que aseguraron que algunos menores fueron despertados en plena noche. En ese momento, 76 niños fueron preparados para ser repatriados, subidos a aviones para su salida y luego devueltos abruptamente a la custodia de EE.UU. después de que un juez federal bloqueara temporalmente las expulsiones.\n\n\nEl Gobierno argumentó que había coordinado el proceso con el Gobierno de Guatemala y que los padres o tutores legales de los menores habían solicitado su regreso. Sin embargo, declaraciones presentadas ante el tribunal revelaron que algunos padres no habían pedido el retorno de sus hijos y que fueron notificados a última hora.\n\n\n“La nueva información que obtuve me lleva a creer que el Departamento está sentando las bases para otro esfuerzo de deportación al margen de la ley, esta vez a una escala mayor y con más países de origen involucrados”, afirmó Wyden.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

In late March, he said on Truth Social that he was working to fix the pool along with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. The pool had previously gone through a two-year renovation in 2012 during the Obama administration.\n\n\nIn the weeks that followed, Trump expanded the scope of the project and ordered cosmetic changes, including painting the bottom of the pool a shade of blue that resembles the American flag’s blue field.\n\n\nThe renovation was also expedited so it would be completed before the country’s 250th anniversary.\n\n\nBut signs that the project did not go according to plan emerged just a day after the reservoir was filled earlier this month with quite a bit of algae visible from the water’s edge.\n\n\nWithin days, clumps of algae took over the pool, prompting the administration to send in workers to vacuum it out, install a filtration system known as the “ozone nanobubbler” and dump gallons of hydrogen peroxide in the pool.\n\n\nLast week, blue material at the bottom of pool began peeling off. The president then said several people were arrested for vandalizing the pool.\n\n\nAn Interior Department spokesperson told CNN Thursday there have been 18 police reports filed for vandalism of the pool, adding that seven people were arrested.\n\n\nIn Wednesday’s filing, Lands said on June 9, US Park Police responded to an NPS report of a cut in a caulk over the pool’s foam sealant.\n\n\nTrump has repeatedly mentioned a “gash” in the pool as he continues to rail against alleged vandalism of a project he was personally invested in. He has offered varying descriptions — first calling it a 250-foot cut and then increasing that measurement. He later said there were “actually numerous slashes over a very long 350 foot length.”\n\n\nWednesday’s filing did not provide any details about the length of the supposed cut.\n\n\nThe New York Times reported earlier this week that internal government documents showed that NPS workers “found two cuts in sections of foam between the pool’s expansion joints,” each 171 feet long. However, the Times said, the documents did not make any allegations about how these reported cuts ended up in the pool.\n\n\nEarlier this week, CNN spoke with several visitors, a majority of whom were not pleased with the renovation.\n\n\nMallory Boyd, 60, a lifelong DC resident who remembers riding her bike along the pool as a child, called the renovation a “waste” of taxpayer dollars.\n\n\n“I think that it is a travesty that we are spending as taxpayers this much money on a restoration that was afoul and for something that was not necessary,” she told CNN on Tuesday.\n\n\nMeanwhile, Tad Wagner, who is visiting Washington, DC, from Kansas, was satisfied with the pool.\n\n\n“I’ve read a couple of reports that they spent a lot of money to redo it. I think it looks good,” Wagner said, adding that claims that the pool has been vandalized were “really disappointing.”\n\n\nJaclyn MacDonald, who traveled from upstate New York to see the pool, stressed to CNN on Tuesday that the debate surrounding the pool is history in the making.\n\n\nDescribing the pool as “pretty gross,” she added: “I told my kids that, you know, one day we’re going to read about this in history books, we’re going to read about what happened to this Reflecting Pool and the national disgrace that it is, and I want to be able to say that I was there.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Many soccer fans have been on the hunt for soccer jerseys representing their favorite team.\n\n\n\nABC-7 spoke with VI Sports in Downtown El Paso, a sporting goods and sportswear store in the heart of the city. An employee said the response has been overwhelming.\n\n\n\n\"We didn’t expect this to be this high demand. Yeah. So it's kind of shocking,” Jae Yi said.\n\n\n\nHe said while the store did predict a large spike in customers, they were still stunned. Yi said during the World Cup, the store has seen two to three times more the number of customers coming in.\n\n\n\n“It's been amazing,” he added.\n\n\n\nHowever, the soccer fever has also resulted in the store selling out of some items prematurely. Yi said that while the store prepared ahead of time and ordered a larger shipment than they normally would, they still ran out of fan favorites.\n\n\n\nYi said they had a few Mexico jerseys left in limited sizes. He noted that USA jerseys sold out within five hours.\n\n\n\nHe explained that nearby stores are facing the same issue.\n\n\n\nHe estimates the store ordered close to 1,000 Mexico jerseys and a couple of hundred U.S. jerseys. He’s been on the hunt to restock, but hasn’t been successful.\n\n\n\n“We’ve been trying, but then no one has it. So vendors they don't have any leftovers or anything like that. So we're just calling everyone every day, and see if they have any. It doesn't seem like they have it anymore,\" Yi said.\n\n\n\nHe said each customer is spending anywhere between $25-50.\n\n\n\nABC-7 asked him which teams have the most passionate fans. \n\n\n\nYi said, \"Mexico fans are by far. They have greater numbers, and they have a greater passion.\"\nThe post World Cup fever boosts soccer jersey sales for El Paso shops appeared first on KVIA.","url":"https://kvia.com/sports/2026/06/25/mexico-usa-jerseys-selling-fast/","source":"KVIA ABC-7","author":"Rosemary Garcia","publishDate":"2026-06-25T16:40:14.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkvia.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2FJERSEYS.00_05_10_19.Still001.jpg","slug":"world-cup-fever-boosts-soccer-jersey-sales-for-el-paso-shops"},{"id":"rb0dpy","title":"¿Cómo es el estado La Guaira, el lugar más afectado tras los terremotos en Venezuela?","excerpt":"Por Uriel Blanco, CNN en Español\n\n\nVenezuela fue azotada el miércoles por dos terremotos consecutivos, con apenas unos segundos de diferencia, dejando cientos de víctimas mortales y heridas.\n\n\nLos sismos, sobre todo el segundo, de magnitud 7,5, fueron suficientemente fuertes como para sentirse en...","content":"Por Uriel Blanco, CNN en Español\n\n\nVenezuela fue azotada el miércoles por dos terremotos consecutivos, con apenas unos segundos de diferencia, dejando cientos de víctimas mortales y heridas.\n\n\nLos sismos, sobre todo el segundo, de magnitud 7,5, fueron suficientemente fuertes como para sentirse en todo el país y dejaron daños extensos en edificios e infraestructura de Venezuela.\n\n\nEl estado costero La Guaira es el más afectado tras los terremotos y fue declarado zona de desastre, informó Delcy Rodríguez, presidenta encargada de Venezuela.\n\n\nLa Guaira es uno de los 23 estados de Venezuela y se encuentra en el norte del país, en la costa.\n\n\nAunque fue la zona más afectada, los sismos no tuvieron su epicentro en La Guaira. Ambos terremotos se registraron en el estado Yaracuy, cercano a La Guaira y también en el norte de Venezuela.\n\n\nLa zona norte de Venezuela es de gran relevancia para el país, ya que ahí se encuentran algunas de las mayores refinerías de petróleo venezolanas.\n\n\nLa Guaira alberga uno de los puertos marítimos más grandes de Venezuela y el Aeropuerto Internacional Simón Bolívar, el cual da servicio a la capital, Caracas, y es el más importante del país.\n\n\nPor tanto, este estado es la “puerta marítima y aérea” de Venezuela.\n\n\n“Con una alta densidad de población concentrada en su zona metropolitana, este estado es un motor económico que impulsa a Venezuela”, describe el Gobierno del país sudamericano.\n\n\nLa Guaira limita con el mar Caribe, con el distrito capital, y con los estados de Aragua y Miranda.\n\n\n“Su desarrollo económico está por encima del promedio nacional. La ubicación estratégica del estado, como puerta marítima y aérea de Venezuela, le otorga relevancia geopolítica y económica”, agrega el Gobierno de Venezuela sobre La Guaira.\n\n\nEs uno de los estados más poblados del país y se calcula que tiene una población de alrededor de 300.000 habitantes, según la Universidad Centroccidental Lisandro Alvarado, institución educativa pública de Venezuela.\n\n\nLos vecinos en la ciudad de La Guaira, capital del estado homónimo, dijeron que pasaron la noche en vela por los terremotos del miércoles y señalaron que varias personas seguían atrapadas en los escombros tras los graves daños que sufrieron decenas de edificios de apartamentos.\n\n\n“Sentimos el temblor, por así decirlo, el inicio del terremoto. Fue muy fuerte… nos reunimos aquí y vimos todos los daños”, declaró José Terraza, de 68 años, residente de La Guaira, a los periodistas de CNN que se encontraban en el lugar.\n\n\nLos edificios frente a la casa de Terraza se derrumbaron, pero su edificio de apartamentos sigue en pie.\n\n\n“La situación en La Guaira es una verdadera tragedia”, ya que decenas de edificios se han derrumbado, dijo la presidenta Rodríguez.\n\n\nLa Guaira antes era conocido como el estado Vargas. En junio de 2019, se oficializó el cambio de nombre del estado.\n\n\nTodavía con el nombre de Vargas, el estado atravesó uno de sus momentos más trágicos en diciembre de 1999, cuando un deslave provocado por lluvias torrenciales causó la muerte y desaparición de miles de personas. Asimismo, casas y vehículos quedaron sepultados bajo el lodo.\n\n\nInvestigadores de la Universidad Central de Venezuela señalaron en un artículo  que la tragedia de 1999 tuvo como saldo unas 15.000 personas desaparecidas o muertas, alrededor de US$ 3.500 millones en pérdidas, la destrucción de más de 15.000 viviendas y aproximadamente 75.000 damnificados.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Toda nuestra solidaridad con quienes hoy viven momentos de angustia. Oramos por la seguridad de familias, por los heridos y por todos los equipos de emergencia que trabajan paa atender esta situación. Mucha fuerza”.\n\n\nEl cantante venezolano Danny Ocean, conocido por éxitos globales como “Me rehúso”, pidió a sus seguidores en Instagram que le enviaran información sobre sitios que requirieran asistencia inmediata.\n\n\nTambién divulgó listas de personas ingresadas en hospitales de Caracas para ayudar a gente que anda en busca de familiares desaparecidos tras los terremotos.\n\n\nEl cantante español Miguel Bosé publicó en las historias de Instagram una bandera de Venezuela con el mensaje: “A mi querida Venezuela, a mis venezolanos amados, toda mi fuerza y apoyo desde mi corazón en estos trágicos momentos”.\n\n\nLa estrella del reguetón Nicky Jam, de origen puertorriqueño, compartió una imagen en sus historias de Instagram que muestra una bandera venezolana y unas manos en posición de rezo, con el mensaje “Oremos por Venezuela y nuestra gente”.\n\n\nLa actriz venezolana-argentina Catherine Fulop ha dedicado desde el miércoles su cuenta en Instagram para divulgar información sobre personas desaparecidas tras los terremotos y enlaces a organizaciones que están recaudando insumos. Fulop publicó un video acompañado de estas palabras: “Mi gente, como muchos ya saben, mi país, Venezuela, acaba de vivir una tragedia muy dolorosa a causa de un terremoto.

La presidenta encargada de Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, declaró el estado de emergencia debido a los sismos, que tuvieron afectaciones en varios estados y en la capital, Caracas.\n\n\nDesde la noche del miércoles, varios servicios públicos se encuentran suspendidos para facilitar las tareas de recuperación y rescate; al igual que las actividades consideradas no esenciales.\n\n\nEste es un repaso por las actividades, accesos y servicios que no están operativos debido a la emergencia:\n\n\nEl Ministerio del Poder Popular para la Educación informó que debido al sismo y sus afectaciones quedaban suspendidas las actividades escolares en todas las instituciones educativas del país por el resto de la semana.\n\n\n“Activaremos algunas escuelas como centros de acopio y refugios para atender a las familias afectadas”, anunció el Ministerio.\n\n\nEn la noche del miércoles, la presidenta encargada había anunciado que no habría clases en los siguientes días de esta semana.\n\n\nMetro de Caracas informó que, por razones de seguridad, el sistema subterráneo se encuentra temporalmente fuera de servicio comercial.\n\n\n“Hemos suspendido igualmente el sistema de metro y ferrocarril para poder facilitar labores tanto de rescate como de recuperación de infraestructura vital”, dijo Rodríguez el miércoles en su primer mensaje al pueblo venezolano.\n\n\nPara garantizar la movilidad, las autoridades anunciaron un plan de contingencia con unidades de Metrobus y transporte en puntos estratégicos de la capital.\n\n\nPor la contingencia, la ministra del Poder Popular para el Transporte Terrestre, Jacqueline Faria, anunció este jueves una alternativa de transporte para los usuarios del Ferrocarril Ezequiel Zamora.

El Reino Unido ya rompió por segundo día consecutivo su récord de temperatura para junio y otras naciones podrían batir sus marcas nacionales.\n\n\nGran parte de Europa permanece bajo un domo de calor, una extensa zona de alta presión estancada que actúa como la tapa de una olla y atrapa el calor. Estos fenómenos no son inusuales, pero la crisis climática causada por la actividad humana los está intensificando.\n\n\nLa localidad de Yeovilton, en el sur de Inglaterra, registró este jueves una temperatura de 36,4 grados Celsius (97,5 °F), superando el récord nacional para junio que se había establecido apenas el día anterior, según la Oficina Meteorológica del Reino Unido. Ese récord podría volver a romperse antes de que termine la jornada. La marca anterior para junio era de 35,6 grados Celsius (96,1 °F) y se había registrado hace 50 años.\n\n\nFrancia vivió entre la noche del miércoles y la madrugada del jueves la noche más calurosa de su historia, informó este jueves el servicio meteorológico Météo-France. Las altas temperaturas nocturnas son especialmente peligrosas porque impiden que el cuerpo se recupere del calor extremo registrado durante el día.\n\n\nEl miércoles, Francia también registró, por segundo día consecutivo, el día más caluroso de su historia, con una temperatura promedio de 30 grados Celsius (86 °F) durante un período de 24 horas. En numerosas ciudades, incluida París, los termómetros superaron los 40 grados Celsius (104 °F).\n\n\nEspaña también rompió récords nacionales esta semana. El lunes y el martes fueron los días de junio más calurosos desde que existen registros, con temperaturas 7,1 grados Celsius por encima del promedio, informó este miércoles la agencia meteorológica AEMET.\n\n\nEl calor ya ha cobrado vidas. En los últimos cuatro días, 212 personas murieron en España debido a la ola de calor, según datos del sistema de vigilancia de mortalidad del país, MoMo.\n\n\nEn Francia, al menos 48 personas murieron ahogadas durante la última semana mientras buscaban alivio frente al calor, según Reuters. Además, tres niños fueron hallados muertos dentro de vehículos expuestos a las altas temperaturas. En Italia se han reportado al menos cinco muertes relacionadas con el calor, entre ellas las de un trabajador de un viñedo, un jornalero agrícola y un hombre sin hogar.\n\n\nLas temperaturas seguirán aumentando este jueves. Francia continuará con un calor “abrasador”, según Météo-France. Las alertas rojas cubren 72 de las 96 regiones de la Francia continental, el nivel más alto de advertencia por calor.\n\n\nSe esperan temperaturas superiores a los 38 grados Celsius (100 °F) en gran parte del país y Francia podría volver a romper su récord del día más caluroso registrado.\n\n\nEl Reino Unido continúa bajo una inusual alerta roja por calor extremo, que fue extendida hasta el viernes y marca un récord de tres días consecutivos bajo el nivel más alto de advertencia.\n\n\nLas autoridades belgas emitieron una inusual alerta por calor y se espera que Alemania registre este jueves temperaturas cercanas a los 38 grados Celsius.\n\n\nEl calor comenzará a disminuir hacia el fin de semana en el Reino Unido y Francia, con un alivio más significativo previsto para el domingo.\n\n\nSin embargo, otras zonas del continente se preparan para temperaturas extremas durante el fin de semana, ya que la ola de calor se desplazará lentamente hacia el este.\n\n\nEl pico del episodio de calor se concentrará sobre Alemania el sábado, cuando se espera que muchas ciudades alcancen los 40 grados Celsius.

It allows 'no judicial review of any determination ... with respect to the ... termination of a TPS designation,\" Alito wrote. \n\n\n\nThough the ruling centered on the TPS of Haitians and Syrians, the ruling effectively gives the Trump administration the green light to carry out similar terminations, which they have already done for 13 countries. \n\n\n\nJames Percival, the Department of Homeland Security's General Counsel, praised Thursday's ruling.\n\n\n\n\"The T in TPS stands for TEMPORARY, yet many of these designations became de facto amnesty. This is a win for the rule of law and common sense,\" he said in a statement.\n\n\n\nAttorneys for the Haitian plaintiffs said in a statement Thursday that the ruling \"will directly result in thousands of innocent people dying violent, needless deaths.\"\n\n\n\n\"This decision will endanger Haitian TPS holders who fled their homeland in pursuit of what generations of immigrants yearned for when they made the painful decision to leave all they have known. to live in safety,\" Geoffrey Pipoly and Andrew Tauber told ABC News in a statement. \n\n\n\n\"It's a very sad day, not only for Haitian TPS holders but for anyone who believes, as we do, that immigrants are one of America's greatest strengths,\" they added. \"The responsibility to save these lives is now with Congress--and we urge the Senate to pass the extension of TPS now pending in that chamber. \"\n\n\n\nIt is unclear if Congress will vote on an extension, however, Trump has repeatedly called for the end of TPS protections and would not likely sign off. \n\n\n\nThe court's liberals also lambasted the decision, arguing that the statements made by President Donald Trump about some of the countries whose status was cancelled -- including making baseless claims that Haitians eat dogs and cats during the 2024 presidential race -- demonstrate that race played a role in the decisions. \n\n\n\n\"The evidence they have offered includes statements by the President so repellent and racially inflected that the majority declines to put them in print,\" wrote Justice Kagan. \"The references--of filth, disease, and primitiveness--are shot through with racial stereotypes and tropes.\" \n\n\n\nThe court's liberals also argued that the statute creating TPS does allow courts to review if DHS carried out legally-required procedures to cancel the status -- something the plaintiffs allege did not happen.\n\n\n\n\"It does nothing to stop courts from reviewing things other than the Secretary's 'determination[s]' concerning TPS designations,\" Kagan wrote. \n\n\n\nImmigrant advocacy groups have warned about the possible sweeping consequences of this ruling, saying it will open the door for an \"astonishing human tragedy.\" \n\n\n\nHaiti experienced a devastating earthquake in 2010 and has since been hit by subsequent natural disasters, political unrest following a presidential assassination, and waves of rampant gang violence.\n\n\n\nMore than 113,000 Haitian TPS holders work in Florida alone, which is home to a high proportion of America's seniors, according to the Florida Immigrant Coalition.\n\n\n\nSyria devolved into civil war around 2011 and has been considered by the U.S. government a hotbed of terrorism and extremism for nearly two decades. A major earthquake in 2023 plunged the country into a deeper economic and humanitarian crisis.\n\n\n\n\"This is an awful harbinger for what we expect this administration to try to do for other TPS designations. Hundreds of thousands of people who have lived here for decades now see heartbreaking chaos ahead,\" FWD.us President Todd Schulte said in a statement Thursday. \n\n\n\nThen-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, in separate acts last year, moved to terminate TPS status for Haiti and Syria by certifying that, in her estimation, conditions on the ground in those countries were sufficiently safe for immigrants to return.\n\n\n\nThose decisions were blocked by lower courts, which concluded that Noem did not follow proper procedures for cancelling TPS and may have also unlawfully discriminated against the immigrants on the basis of race.\n\n\n\nPastor Carl Ruby, a prominent community leader in Springfield, Ohio, who has sought to stand up for Haitians there after Trump's false comments about them eating pets rattled the community and preceded numerous bomb threats. \n\n\n\n\"This is the worst possible outcome,\" Ruby told ABC News through tears. \"I had always held out hope that we would get a good decision and can't believe that we're here now.\"\n\n\n\nRuby contended that there was racial motivation behind the administration's actions.\n\n\n\n\"If you look at the history of the president's comments about Haiti and Haitians, it's clear that this wouldn't be happening if these were refugees from Norway. I just feel like we have failed as a country and I don't think I've ever been as disappointed in our country as I am right now,\" he said.\n\n\n\nOhio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican who has defended the Springfield community, said deporting Haitians \"is a mistake.\"\n\n\n\n\"As a result of today's ruling, the over 10,000 Haitians who have been living in Ohio (mostly in the Springfield area) legally through TPS will now be here illegally and will be subject to immediate deportation,\" the governor said in a statement.\n\n\n\n\"This also means that while these Haitians were working and contributing to our community and economy yesterday, today it is now illegal to employ them,\" he added. \n\n\n\n\"The situation in Haiti could hardly be much worse. The violent gangs run most of the country. The government barely functions. And, the economy is in shambles,\" DeWine said.\n\n\n\n-ABC News' Laura Romero, Armando Garcia and Ivan Pereira contributed to this report.\nThe post Supreme Court allows Trump administration’s cancellation of TPS for Haitians, Syrians appeared first on KVIA.","url":"https://kvia.com/news/abc-7-alert-center/2026/06/25/supreme-court-allows-trump-administrations-cancellation-of-tps-for-haitians-syrians/","source":"KVIA ABC-7","author":"ABC News","publishDate":"2026-06-25T16:02:30.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkvia.b-cdn.net%2F2022%2F01%2FQUBi7uYy-MGN_1280x720_11201P00-BRNEB-1.jpg","slug":"supreme-court-allows-trump-administrations-cancellation-of-tps-for-haitians-syrians"},{"id":"suq3zg","title":"Trump administration identifies more than 500 migrant children for removal from the US, senator says","excerpt":"By Priscilla Alvarez, CNN\n\n\n(CNN) — The Trump administration has identified more than 500 unaccompanied migrant children in US government custody to be potentially removed from the country, according to Democratic Sen.

Ron Wyden.\n\n\nThe move marks the latest escalation of the Trump administration’s effort to focus on migrant children who arrived at the US southern border alone and are in custody awaiting to be placed with a sponsor, typically a parent or relative, in the United States.\n\n\nThe administration previously tried to repatriate Guatemalan children in government custody who arrived in the United States alone and didn’t have a parent in the country, but that was stopped by a federal judge.\n\n\nA similar effort appears to be underway now – this time, focusing on children who have been in custody for at least six months and don’t have a relative or guardian in the United States.\n\n\n“This is a severe institutional failure that places hundreds of vulnerable children in immediate jeopardy, effectively erasing them from the protection of U.S. oversight and thrusting them back into danger,” Wyden said in a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.\n\n\n“To weaponize the very agency charged with their protection is an unacceptable escalation of executive overreach that undermines our nation’s commitment to due process,” he added. It’s unclear whether all the identified children will be swiftly removed.\n\n\nThe Oregon senator, who serves as ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee which has oversight over the Office of Refugee Resettlement, demanded the immediate suspension of “any screening initiative and planned removal action,” as well as additional information on the effort.\n\n\nIn a statement, an HHS spokesperson said: “Despite this irresponsible fearmongering, there are no plans to target these children. The Biden administration rushed the release of these children without adequate sponsor vetting, leaving thousands vulnerable to abuse, exploitation, and trafficking. The Trump Administration is working to identify the parents or legal guardians of unaccompanied alien children in our care because ensuring every child is placed with a properly vetted sponsor is our top priority.”\n\n\nORR, which is housed within HHS, is charged with the care of migrant children who arrive at the US southern border alone. Those children, who are typically fleeing dangerous conditions at home, are often trying to reunite or be placed with a parent, relative or guardian already in the United States.\n\n\nThe children on the list described by Wyden are categorized as having no sponsor in the US and were “mainly placed in long-term foster care with ORR providers” nationwide. They’ve all been in custody for at least 180 days.\n\n\nAs of May, there was an average of 1,816 unaccompanied children in ORR custody, according to federal data. The majority are from Central America.\n\n\nIt’s unclear how old the children are and what immigration process the administration plans to use to remove the children. Trump administration officials had previously described the attempt to remove Guatemalan children as repatriations, citing coordination and requests from the Guatemalan government.\n\n\n“The attempt is to have children back with their families and parents, not to be put into the United States with unverified sponsors or sponsors who are not lawfully present,” a former senior HHS official told CNN, referring to family in their home countries.\n\n\nOver recent months, ORR has been identifying minors in custody who could be potentially removed from the United States, unless they are seeking certain protections, according to the former senior HHS official.\n\n\nImmigrant advocates and attorneys who work with migrant children have raised alarm over kids being sent back to the very conditions they were fleeing. They argue that returning kids to their home country is not always in their best interest.\n\n\nUnaccompanied migrant children go through immigration proceedings to determine whether they have relief available to them in the US, given conditions at home. According to Wyden, a majority of the more than 500 identified minors have legal counsel in their immigration proceedings.\n\n\n“This administration has repeatedly proven that it does not have the best interests of children in mind. While we don’t yet know precisely what they plan to do, we do know that they are willing to act callously and lawlessly when it comes to this deeply vulnerable population of children,” said Neha Desai, managing director of Children’s Human Rights & Dignity at the National Center for Youth Law, in a statement.\n\n\nLast year, the administration’s attempt to send Guatemalan children in custody back to their home country prompted a scramble among attorneys who said kids were woken up in the middle of the night. At the time, 76 children were prepared for repatriation, placed on planes for departure then abruptly returned to US custody after a federal judge’s order temporarily blocked their removals.\n\n\nThe administration argued that it had coordinated with the Guatemalan government and that the children had been requested to return by their parents or legal guardians. Court declarations filed in the case revealed that some of the parents had not requested their return and had been provided last-minute notice.\n\n\n“The new information I obtained leads me to believe that the Department is laying the groundwork for another lawless deportation effort, this time on a greater scale, across more countries of origin,” Wyden said.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

We hold that the law is unconstitutional,” Justice Samuel Alito said in the majority opinion for the court.\n\n\nThe 6-3 ruling along conservative-liberal lines is a major setback for gun-safety advocates who had been looking for new ways to limit the presence of guns in retail stores and in other public spaces after the 2022 Supreme Court decision that enshrined public firearm carry as a Second Amendment right.\n\n\n“The ruling in the Hawaii case crosses a line that the justices had thus far resisted — holding that the Second Amendment protects the right of Americans to bring firearms even onto private property so long as that property is open to the public,” said Steve Vladeck, CNN Supreme Court analyst and professor at Georgetown University Law Center.\n\n\nIn a dissent joined by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote a dissenting opinion that said the court’s ruling “overrides Hawaii’s considered—and in my view, constitutionally sound—judgment that the property interests of its residents should be protected against unauthorized armed entry.” Justice Elena Kagan wrote a separate dissent, while Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote concurrence partially joined by fellow conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch.\n\n\nThree other states have laws similar to Hawaii’s “default” ban on guns in privately owned public places. Hawaii’s opponents said that property owners are free to proactively prohibit firearms on their property but the state could not make such a ban the “default” for private property open to the public.\n\n\nThe conservative majority agreed with the challengers, with the Alito writing that it “burdens those wishing to exercise their Second Amendment right.”\n\n\nThe dispute over the Hawaii law is the latest case that asked the justices to grapple with the 2022 ruling, known as Bruen, that laid out a historical test for assessing the constitutionality of gun laws.\n\n\nUnder the 2022 opinion by Thomas, known as Bruen, restrictions regulating Second Amendment conduct can only be upheld by courts if there were similar laws that existed at the time of the constitution’s drafting.\n\n\nAlito said that the old laws that the state was pointing to argue that it passed that test “are vastly different from Hawaii’s new default rule.”\n\n\n“They consist almost entirely of laws that prohibited unauthorized hunting of deer or small game on someone else’s private property,” he said.\n\n\nJackson’s dissent reiterated her view that Bruen was wrongly decided, but she said that the court, with its ruling Thursday, had “manipulated” that precedent “into a free-for-all that lets the Judiciary thwart the will of legislatures by privileging access to firearms above all else.”\n\n\n“Today’s decision makes one thing clear: The Court’s objective is protecting guns, not consistently preserving any principle of law,” she said.\n\n\nBarrett’s concurrence, meanwhile, offered more commentary on how the Bruen test should be applied to Hawaii’s law. “To satisfy Bruen, Hawaii must identify historical laws that pursued an analogous goal in an analogous way,” she said. The analogies failed because the founding-era laws had different aims than the statute Hawaii is now trying to defend, Barrett said.\n\n\nKagan’s dissent rejected that argument, arguing that goals of Hawaii’s and the older laws were “sufficiently close.”\n\n\n“Both sets of laws respond to the dangers and harms that someone with a gun can cause on another person’s property,” she wrote.\n\n\nDefenders of Hawaii’s law tried to frame the dispute around property rights, rather than the Second Amendment, and Hawaii’s lawyers argued that even if the justices concluded the law does touch on constitutionally protected conduct, there are enough historical analogues allowing it to be upheld.\n\n\nThe law’s challengers, individuals with concealed carry permits in Hawaii as well as a gun rights group, countered that the laws the state is relying on were not enough of a match, and more broadly accused Hawaii of openly defying the Bruen ruling.\n\n\nA lawyer for the challengers cheered the ruling, calling Hawaii’s law a “de facto ban on public carry.”\n\n\nNew Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport, whose state has a similar law, said in a statement that this “badly mistaken decision will make it harder for businesses open to the public to exclude guns from their property, putting additional burdens on them to keep their patrons safe.”\n\n\n“Today’s opinion vindicates my clients right to public carry,” Alan Beck, who argued the case in January, said in a statement.\n\n\nKris Brown, the president of Brady United Against Gun Violence said that “deeply dangerous majority opinion privileges guns over everything and all people in society.”\n\n\nAt oral arguments, an 1865 Louisiana law that the US 9th Circuit of Appeals embraced to side with Hawaii was a subject of intense debate. The law prohibited the carrying of “premises or plantations of any citizen” without the property’s owner consent. Hawaii’s decried the use of the law to defend Hawaii’s current restrictions because it was part of the “Black Codes” aimed at restricting the rights of African Americans, though Jackson suggested that the challengers shouldn’t get cherry-pick the history used to assessed the law’s constitutionality.\n\n\nOn Thursday, Alito said Hawaii’s attempt to compare its law to the “tainted artifact” of the black codes “cannot be taken seriously,” while Barrett wrote that it was “beyond me why Hawaii would claim that these vile laws can justify its present-day restriction.”\n\n\nHowever, Jackson criticized the conservative majority for not providing a more thorough explanation for why Hawaii could not rely on those laws as its historical comparison.\n\n\n“Where the Court has opted to tether its Second Amendment analysis to facts about America’s past, it must contend with our Nation’s entire history, warts and all.

To subscribe, click here.\n\n\nThe World Cup is really shifting into gear now, and the final group stage matches have already produced some dramatic moments. Yesterday saw South Africa and Canada both make history after they reached the World Cup knockout rounds for the first time. We also saw a cult figure say his potential farewell to Mexico, while Haiti proved this tournament isn’t all about winning.\n\n\nWe’ll have more on the above later in today’s newsletter, but we’ll start with the big one, the USA’s final group stage match. And while there is little riding on the game itself, a nation is hoping to preserve the World Cup bubble in which it’s currently living.\n\n\nThe Main Thing: A game that means nothing and everything at the same time\n\n\n\nCNN Sports’ Kyle Feldscher has been on his travels and landed in Los Angeles this week ahead of the US’ final group game against Turkey.\n\n\nIt’s a match that matters more than one would imagine. I’ll let him explain why.\n\n\nOn paper, this game between the United States and Turkey means nothing.\n\n\nThe next steps for both teams are assured: The US goes on to the Round of 32 and, as things stand, plays Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Bay Area (though this opponent can definitely still change). Turkey, meanwhile, is going home. No matter the result, that’s what comes next.\n\n\nBut deep runs in the World Cup are not built on paper. They are often built with momentum and vibes. And that’s what’s at stake at SoFi Stadium in Southern California later today.\n\n\nThe USA, like the surfers I saw in the frigid waters off Manhattan Beach last night, are riding a wave right now. Two group stage wins have gotten the country behind them. In this segmented media consumption environment, it feels like the US has broken through and become mainstream.\n\n\nThe country is rallying with them. And the biggest thing at stake on Thursday is losing that belief.\n\n\nSee, America likes winners. But America also loves an underdog. And it’s so, so rare that Americans get to feel like underdogs in anything on the world stage (which, I should add, is a blessing that no one should take for granted).\n\n\nA US men’s soccer team run in the World Cup is one of those rare times when Americans can unite behind a plucky group of athletes and root for them to succeed against impossible odds – and, despite those wins over Paraguay and Australia, the USA still faces pretty long odds in this tournament.\n\n\nNot losing that feeling is what’s at stake in Thursday’s match.\n\n\nA loss (or even a drab draw that finishes 0-0 or 1-1) will be a dose of reality that a lot of American soccer fans aren’t ready to swallow yet. A poor result introduces a bit of doubt into the equation, both for fans and the squad.\n\n\nManager Mauricio Pochettino knows the score.\n\n\n“We need to perform tomorrow. We need to perform,” he told reporters Wednesday. “I have no doubt that the team that is going to play is going to perform.”\n\n\nThose are the stakes. Lose – to a team that’s going fishing after two disappointing performances – and the bubble of belief that’s built up across the US might burst. Win and the vibes keep going all the way to Santa Clara for a July 1 showdown with Bosnia or whoever else qualifies ahead of it.\n\n\nAnd after that? Who knows.\n\n\nCuraçao vs. Ivory Coast (Group E)\n\n\n\nWhen? 4 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Philadelphia Stadium (Lincoln Financial Field), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA\n\n\nCuraçao, playing in its first World Cup, has a chance to make more history today. If it manages to beat Ivory Coast – and Ecuador fails to beat Germany – the tiny island nation will qualify for the knockouts as group runner-up. That alone would be a remarkable achievement.\n\n\nHowever, Ivory Coast knows that a win or a draw against The Blue Wave in its final group match will be enough for it to progress instead. Les Éléphants have the far more experienced and talented squad, but the question is whether Curaçao has another history-making performance left in it.\n\n\nThere is so much riding on this game, and it’s a must-watch for that reason.\n\n\nEcuador vs. Germany (Group E)\n\n\n\nWhen? 4 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? New York New Jersey Stadium (MetLife Stadium), East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA\n\n\nFor Germany, this is a bit of a day off. The European giant has already won the group and might look to rotate its squad and give all its players some minutes on the pitch.\n\n\nFor Ecuador, though, today will feel very different. To stand any chance of automatic qualification to the knockouts, the South Americans know they need to beat the four-time World Cup winner at the very least. They then have to hope Curaçao beats Ivory Coast.\n\n\nHowever, a win regardless would put La Tri in with a great shot of finishing as one of the eight best third-place finishers.\n\n\nQuote of the Day\n\n\n\nThe words from veteran Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo “Memo” Ochoa after he played in what’s likely to be his final game for the national team yesterday. Ochoa has been a cult figure for El Tri for over a decade, being his country’s undisputed starting goalkeeper in the 2014, 2018 and 2022 World Cups.\n\n\nHe’s now playing a supporting role for the current squad but was substituted onto the pitch in the 77th minute of yesterday’s 3-0 win against Czech Republic.\n\n\nOchoa, 40, made his professional debut at the Estadio Azteca in 2004, so it was only fitting for him to say a potential goodbye to his country in the same arena.\n\n\nThe story behind the World Cup trophy\n\n\n\nCNN’s Antonia Mortensen speaks with Giorgio Gazzaniga, son of Silvio Gazzaniga, who designed the FIFA World Cup trophy, about how the iconic prize came to be.\n\n\nJapan vs. Sweden (Group F)\n\n\n\nWhen? 7 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Dallas Stadium (AT&T Stadium), Dallas, Texas, USA\n\n\nThis is one of those groups where a point for three of the four teams will probably be enough to see them through.\n\n\nJapan is on four points already, which means it will likely progress through to the knockouts as a third-place finisher whatever happens against Sweden. A win against the Swedes, though, would see the Samurai Blue through to the Round of 32 automatically as either the group winners or runners-up.\n\n\nSweden, meanwhile, is currently on three points. A win would see the Blågult qualify automatically, but a draw might be enough to see them through as one of the lucky third-place squads. If they lose, then they’re left relying on the results from other teams.\n\n\nTunisia vs. Netherlands (Group F)\n\n\n\nWhen? 7 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Kansas City Stadium (Arrowhead Stadium), Kansas City, Missouri, USA\n\n\nTunisia will just be playing for pride in its final group game, having lost both of its first two matches.\n\n\nMeanwhile, the Netherlands will be feeling confident of another win that would see it through to the knockouts as the group winner. In truth, the Oranje just need to better Japan’s result and they will top the group.\n\n\nThe Dutch looked sharp in their 5-1 win against Sweden, and many have started tipping them as a possible winner of the tournament.\n\n\nHaiti shows the planet what the World Cup spirit is all about\n\n\n\nIt’s weird to say, but the World Cup isn’t all about winning. It’s often not even about soccer at all. CNN Sports anchor Don Riddell experienced just that last night as he watched Haiti lose 4-2 to Morocco inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium.\n\n\nLes Grenadiers already knew they were out of the tournament but produced a performance that made an entire nation proud, twice going ahead with goals from Lenny Joseph and Wilson Isidor.\n\n\nOver to Don to give you a sense of the atmosphere from within the stands after Haiti had taken the lead and Morocco had just equalized.\n\n\nWatching from the top tier of Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Haiti fan EJ Emmanuel told me that he never thought he’d see his team play in a World Cup, never mind something like this: “My dad used to tell me what happened 52 years ago, now I’m going to tell my kids. Fifty-two years, that’s two generations. And I love it!”\n\n\nAs we were speaking, Wilson Isidor fired in what will arguably be the goal of the tournament from 25 yards out to put Haiti 2-1 ahead, and the place erupted again. Emmanuel shook his dreadlocks in disbelief, pointed to the sky, dropped to one knee and slapped the concrete three times. The scene around me was one of utter bedlam, with stadium officials even joining in the celebrations. Knowing that their country has endured so much hardship, I will admit that it was a profoundly moving experience to share the moment with them.\n\n\nJacqueline Charles, who has reported on Haiti for over a decade for the Miami Herald, told CNN Sports: “That emotion you heard was Haitians saying, ‘OK, we can hold our heads up while we go out here.’ In a country that’s very divided, that is politically unstable, with a capital overrun by gangs, this World Cup appearance really has united Haitians in an incredible way.”\n\n\nSouth Korea lives and breathes its team’s final group stage match\n\n\n\nThe emotional highs and lows of the World Cup are being felt in every part of the world and South Korea is no exception.\n\n\nCNN’s Gawon Bae watched on from Gwanghwamun Square in the nation’s capital where she joined thousands of fans as they watched the Taegeuk Warriors lose 1-0 to South Africa, leaving them sweating over their potential spot in the knockout rounds.\n\n\n“Dae-han-min-guk (South Korea)!” thousands of people chanted half a globe away from Estadio BBVA in Guadalupe, Mexico.\n\n\nChildren, office workers, tourists and soccer fans filled every corner and alleyway in Seoul’s Gwanghwamun Square on Thursday, a location that’s become known for its World Cup street parties.\n\n\nPeople dressed in various kits – some even brought back the 2002 World Cup’s “Be the Reds” t-shirt or wore captain Son Heung-min’s former club (Tottenham) jersey – as the Taegeuk Warriors were projected to make it to the knockout stages.\n\n\nDespite crowd control measures forcing people without seats to keep walking, everyone joined in on the chants from the Red Devils cheer team, South Korea’s official national team supporters, throughout the game.\n\n\nWhen Son’s warmup on the sidelines popped up on the screen at halftime, people screamed in anticipation of seeing him come on the pitch to hopefully lead the squad to victory.\n\n\nWhen goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu made two super saves, the square exploded in wild excitement.\n\n\nGasps of frustration, though, burst out among the thousands in attendance when South Africa forward Thapelo Maseko hit the net in the second half and when the full-time whistle blew.\n\n\nYet, as things stand, these scenes may come to pass again – except with a happy ending – as South Korea is in decent standing of being one of the lucky third-place finishers at this World Cup.\n\n\nTurkey vs. USA (Group D)\n\n\n\nWhen? 10 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Los Angeles Stadium (SoFi Stadium), Los Angeles, California, USA\n\n\nAs we’ve already touched on, the Americans’ last group game has very little riding on it. Turkey is out and the US Men’s National Team has won the group.\n\n\nSo today will be an opportunity for the US to rest some key players and give minutes to some of those in the squad who haven’t gotten out on the pitch so far this summer.\n\n\nIn many ways, this was the dream scenario for the co-host before the tournament kicked off. It will still want to put on a show for its fans, though.\n\n\nParaguay vs. Australia (Group D)\n\n\n\nWhen? 10 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? San Francisco Bay Area Stadium (Levi’s Stadium), Santa Clara, California, USA\n\n\nMeanwhile, the other game in Group D is a straight shootout for the runner-up spot. Both Paraguay and Australia sit on three points so whoever wins will go through to the Round of 32 automatically. A draw would favor the Socceroos because they boast a better goal difference.\n\n\nA draw, though, would almost definitely be enough for Paraguay to go through as a lucky third-place team as well, while a loss would leave La Albirroja sweating and relying on other results going their way this week.\n\n\nI know a lot of you will be watching the USA game – and rightly so – but this game has much more riding on it, so it should be a brilliant watch.\n\n\nThe Final Whistle: Christian Pulisic ‘feeling good’ after injury forced him to miss last game\n\n\n\nUS soccer star Christian Pulisic hopes to play against Turkey today, declaring himself healthy enough to play after a calf injury sidelined him for his nation’s second match of the tournament.\n\n\n“I’m feeling good, yeah,” he told reporters Wednesday at the US training base. “I’ve obviously joined with the team in the last few days, so I’m feeling good, positive going into it, and hopefully, I’ll be able to play it hard tomorrow.”\n\n\nCNN Sports had eyes on Pulisic during a short training session on Wednesday and he looked to be unrestrained and moving freely. He wore no protection on his calf and had no signs of a limp or any limitation during drills at Great Sports Park.\n\n\nWhether the star player is risked for this game, which essentially means nothing, is yet to be seen. It might make more sense to give him another few days of rest before the USA faces a tougher test in the knockout rounds.\n\n\nGood luck telling the 27-year-old that, though.\n\n\n“I want to be a part of the group, I want to get on the field and try to help the team in whatever way I can,” he insisted.\n\n\nCNN Sports supervising editor Kyle Feldscher is our man on the ground in LA ahead of the final group game and you can read more about his thoughts on Pulisic here.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Jeanne Shaheen and Republican Sen. John Kennedy, would allow service members to sue the military in cases of rape, sexual assault, aggravated sexual contact, sexual assault of a child, sexual harassment and the wrongful distribution of intimate images. The bill was introduced on Wednesday.\n\n\nThe Congressional Budget Office estimated that within the first 10 years of the legislation being active, “there would be 120,000 people who would file successful claims under this bill,” a Democratic Senate aide told CNN. “That speaks to just how prevalent of a problem this is.”\n\n\nThe US military has long grappled with how to confront sexual assault and harassment within its ranks. A report for fiscal year 2024 released last May said the Defense Department received 8,195 reports from service members of sexual assault, 320 fewer than in 2023.\n\n\nBut the newly proposed legislation comes on the heels of a high-profile case at Fort Hood, Texas, where the military has brought charges against an Army gynecologist who has been accused by dozens of women of secretly recording patients, conducting unnecessary procedures during their exams and other sexual misconduct.\n\n\nThat case is a prime example of when the legislation could be used, the Senate aide said, though the bill was already in the works before the news of the gynecologist’s alleged misconduct came to light.\n\n\nThe proposed bill would allow a lawsuit to be brought forward when a service member claims sexual assault was committed, or that the military failed to prevent or investigate misconduct.\n\n\nCurrently, a 1950 Supreme Court decision stands in the way of US service members suing the military for injuries arising from military service. In 2019, that law was successfully challenged when Congress passed the SFC Richard Stayskal Military Medical Accountability Act, allowing service members to sue the US for injury and death caused by improper medical care. Sgt. 1st Class Richard Stayskal is an Army Special Forces soldier with terminal lung cancer, which was misdiagnosed by Army medical providers.\n\n\n“I think the biggest issue that we’re going to face is that this is potentially going to cost the government a lot of money, and our answer to that is, it’s a problem … that the score would be so high,” the aide said. That concern has come up in staff-level conversations with the Defense Department about this bill, they added.\n\n\nBut service members having the ability to “pursue every possible avenue for legal recourse” is a necessary step to “root out the negligence” resulting in sexual assault and harassment, Shaheen said in a statement to CNN.\n\n\n“It makes no sense that civilians can seek justice from the government when the warriors who have sacrificed everything to protect our nation cannot,” she said.\n\n\nKennedy similarly said service members “should not have to give up their right to hold the government accountable when its negligence contributes to sexual assault or harassment.”\n\n\n“Our brave men and women in uniform deserve real accountability,” he said, “not excuses.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The internal auditor found that $10.3 million in budgetary savings and financial assumptions weren’t achieved, and $11.1 million in additional expenditures were made outside the board-approved budget for 2025-26.\n\n\n\nThe unrealized savings included almost $4 million in initiatives that district personnel had determined weren’t feasible before the budget was adopted in June 2025, Martinez’s report said.\n\n\n\nThe school board was aware of much of the $11.1 in additional expenditures added after the budget’s approval, but the added costs weren’t incorporated into the district’s spending plans through budget amendments.\n\n\n\n“The adopted budget did not function as the district’s primary authorization and control mechanism,” Martinez’s report to the board said.\n\n\n\nMartinez said her report makes 18 recommendations to strengthen governance, financial oversight, accountability, transparency and budgetary controls.\n\n\n\nThe chief internal auditor said she interviewed the five current board members but not the two board members who recently resigned, Daniel Call and Valerie Ganelon Beals, or previous board members.\n\n\n\nThe formal audit report will be released within 48 hours after Lusk and his leadership team develop a corrective action plan. \n\n\n\nMartinez’s presentation added some information on how EPISD went from planning for pay raises in the 2026-27 budget in the early spring to slashing hundreds of positions and freezing pay just weeks later.\n\n\n\nTrustee Jack Loveridge, who chairs the school board’s audit committee, said the report found several situations where Aguirre and members of the district’s finance department had a chance to inform the board and Lusk about the deficit but chose not to.\n\n\n\n“It does kind of go into the culture of an institution that there is no protocol for what to do if your boss seems recalcitrant and doesn’t want to provide information to the government structure, and we want to change that as a board. We want to make sure that the administration has clear policies in place. If you see something, say something,” Loveridge told El Paso Matters ahead of the meeting.\n\n\n\nThe El Paso Independent School District Board of Trustees and Superintendent Brian Lusk listen as Chief Internal Auditor Mayra Martinez presents the findings of her investigation into tens of millions of cost overruns at a meeting on Tuesday, June 23, 2026. (Robert Moore/El Paso Matters)\n\n\n\nThe district’s budget problems came to light in early May, when Aguirre told Lusk that the deficit would reach the tens of millions of dollars by the end of the school year just weeks away. Lusk has said that Aguirre, who served as the district’s interim superintendent before he was hired in December 2025, had deliberately deceived him about EPISD’s financial situation.\n\n\n\nThe school board in June 2025 adopted a budget that called for a $6 million deficit, to be paid out of the district’s reserves.\n\n\n\nBy mid-May, outside consultants hired by the district had estimated that the deficit could reach almost $53 million for the 2025-26 school year and as much as $42 million for 2026-27, which would have vaporized most of EPISD’s reserves unless extensive cuts were made for the coming year.\n\n\n\nAs part of the district’s financial stability plan, trustees approved a reduction in force and broader staffing cuts designed to realign expenses with revenues and enrollment levels, which have been declining for more than a decade. \n\n\n\nOverall, the district eliminated more than 800 positions, including hundreds of vacant jobs, while making 244 layoffs and reducing expenditures by approximately $57 million.\n\n\n\nSome of the displaced employees have already been placed in other district jobs, reducing the number of layoffs to 195, Patricia Cortez, EPISD’s chief human capital management officer, said at Tuesday’s school board meeting.\n\n\n\nThose actions substantially reduced, but did not eliminate, the deficit. Trustees ultimately adopted a 2026-27 budget with about $518.6 million in revenue and $522.9 million in expenditures, leaving a projected deficit of approximately $4.3 million. \n\n\n\nAlthough the immediate crisis was triggered by a one-year deficit that had been allowed to swell for months before being brought to EPISD leadership, the district’s fiscal position had been deteriorating for several years, according to figures Martinez presented as part of her report.\n\n\n\nAfter being appointed superintendent in 2022, Diana Sayavedra proposed and the school board adopted four consecutive deficit budgets. Between 2010 and 2021, EPISD had three years of deficit spending.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEPISD’s unassigned fund balance – essentially its available savings – stood at $125.2 million when she arrived in February 2022.\n\n\n\nSayavedra’s final budget for fiscal year 2025-26 – developed as she retired under pressure from the board majority – would have left the district’s savings account depleted by $30 million since she arrived at the district.\n\n\n\n“This is not a financially healthy institution,” Loveridge said of the deficits and depletion of savings in Sayavedra’s tenure. \n\n\n\nLoveridge was appointed to the board in 2024 and was initially part of a three-person board minority that was critical of Sayavedra’s leadership while she had the support of four board members. School board elections in May 2025 resulted in a 5-2 majority that was more critical of Sayavedra, and she retired in June 2025.\n\n\n\nThe actual revenues and expenditures discovered beginning in May 2026 reduced the unassigned fund balance by another $44 million, leaving EPISD with an estimated $60.3 million in unassigned fund balance. That’s a decline of 52% in five years.\n\n\n\nEl Paso’s two other large districts have also depleted much of their fund balances in that time. \n\n\n\nThe Legislature didn’t increase its per-student allotment between 2019 and 2025, which left Texas school districts struggling in a time when the cumulative inflation rate was 26%.\n\n\n\nEl Paso ISD, Socorro ISD and Ysleta ISD chose to dip into its savings rather than reducing expenses to match its revenues in recent years. Before 2025-26, Socorro ISD had deficit budgets for 10 straight years.\n\n\n\nSocorro’s unassigned fund balance declined by 61% between fiscal years 2022 and 2025, and Ysleta ISD’s declined by 45% in that time, according to Martinez’s presentation Tuesday to the El Paso school board. \n\n\n\nYsleta trustees adopted a 2026-27 budget that reduces the district’s unassigned fund balance to $4.5 million.\nThe post EPISD finance leaders knew of budget risks for months but did not alert trustees, audit says appeared first on El Paso Matters.","url":"https://elpasomatters.org/2026/06/23/episd-audit-former-cfo-budget-deficit-financial-oversight-failures/","source":"El Paso Matters","author":"Robert Moore","publishDate":"2026-06-24T02:08:44.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi0.wp.com%2Felpasomatters.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2FInternal-audit-presentation.jpg%3Ffit%3D1024%252C597%26ssl%3D1","slug":"episd-finance-leaders-knew-of-budget-risks-for-months-but-did-not-alert-trustees-audit-says"},{"id":"eywcyi","title":"¿Cómo será la Gran Feria Estatal Estadounidense de Trump?","excerpt":"Por Piper Hudspeth Blackburn y Julia Benbrook, CNN\n\n\nEsta semana comenzó la Gran Feria Estatal Estadoundiense, que fue organizada por el Gobierno de Trump.

El evento, que durará 16 días, ofrece a los visitantes del National Mall de la ciudad de Washington la oportunidad de conocer pabellones que muestran todos los estados y territorios del país.\n\n\nEl presidente Donald Trump mencionó por primera vez el proyecto —una Exposición Universal moderna— durante su campaña electoral de 2023. Tres años después, el proyecto se ha hecho realidad, con sobrevuelos militares, proyecciones de películas y una noria gigante de 33 metros en su apretada agenda. El sello personal de Trump es evidente ya que, entre otros detalles, incluye una réplica a escala reducida del arco triunfal de 76 metros que él propuso.\n\n\n“Este es el comienzo de la edad de oro de Estados Unidos”, declaró Trump en la inauguración de la feria el miércoles por la noche.\n\n\nEl festival, que dura 16 días, ha sido organizado por Freedom 250, una organización sin ánimo de lucro afín a Trump que ha gestionado una gran cantidad de eventos conmemorativos por el 250º aniversario del país, como el acto de oración “Rededicate 250” en el National Mall en mayo.\n\n\nLa feria es gratuita. Freedom250 anima a quienes planean asistir a confirmar su asistencia.\n\n\nEstarán representados los 50 estados y los territorios estadounidenses, pero varios estados no participan directamente. Los estados participantes buscaron patrocinadores, donaciones o financiación estatal para decorar sus stands.\n\n\nFuncionarios de Washington, Massachusetts, Illinois, Carolina del Norte y Connecticut declararon a CNN que declinaron organizar stands para sus respectivos estados debido a limitaciones presupuestarias. Grupos de cada estado se ofrecieron como voluntarios para representarlos en la feria.\n\n\nSi bien los funcionarios afirmaron que las decisiones de sus estados se debían principalmente a los costos, un portavoz de la gobernadora de Oregon, Tina Kotek, demócrata, expresó su preocupación de que el evento “se estuviera convirtiendo en un asunto más partidista de lo que se presentó originalmente”.\n\n\nHasta el 10 de julio, grandes carpas blancas decoradas con columnas neoclásicas albergarán decenas de pabellones estatales que ofrecerán experiencias interactivas diseñadas para representar la cultura, el patrimonio y los paisajes naturales de cada estado.\n\n\nEl pabellón de Arizona llevará a los visitantes a través de un “viaje sensorial”, explicó Paul Behnen, director creativo de Off Madison Ave, la agencia de publicidad que ayudó a la Oficina de Turismo de Arizona a diseñar la exhibición.\n\n\n“Empiezas con la cálida luz catedralicia del Cañón del Antílope —dijo—. Luego pasas a la luz fresca y tamizada de un bosque de pinos ponderosa. Y finalmente, te adentras en el paisaje nocturno del desierto de Sonora, donde las luces negras iluminan sutilmente las estrellas y los cactus saguaro”.\n\n\nEn Montana, los visitantes podrán explorar una estación de excavación de fósiles. En Minnesota, ganarán premios al elegir entre un estanque lleno de versiones en miniatura del ave oficial del estado, el colimbo. El pabellón de Florida exhibirá la industria citrícola del estado e incluirá un campo de minigolf.\n\n\nEl pabellón de Oklahoma recreará los aromas de la pradera y utilizará iluminación para mostrar la transición del amanecer al anochecer. También se colocarán ventiladores por toda la carpa para evocar la letra where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain (donde el viento barre la llanura) del musical “Oklahoma!”.\n\n\n“Realmente queríamos centrarnos en disipar algunas ideas preconcebidas sobre Oklahoma y lograr que la gente viera toda la diversidad y las maravillosas experiencias que tenemos para ofrecer en nuestro estado”, dijo Amy Blackburn, directora ejecutiva del Departamento de Turismo y Recreación de Oklahoma, a CNN.\n\n\nEl recinto ferial también ofrecerá un recordatorio diario del West estadounidense. Habrá espectáculos de rodeo con demostraciones de equitación de precisión y presentaciones de charros mexicanos tradicionales. Los visitantes tendrán la oportunidad de conocer y saludar a los caballos miniatura de terapia.\n\n\nMientras tanto, los museos móviles de Freedom 250, conocidos como Freedom Trucks, narrarán la historia de la fundación de Estados Unidos mediante videos y obras de arte generados por inteligencia artificial. Estos museos incluyen contenido de Hillsdale College, una universidad cristiana de artes liberales en Michigan, y de PragerU, una organización de medios conservadora que publica materiales educativos destinados a combatir una ideología de izquierda dominante.\n\n\nA principios de este mes, Freedom 250 se vio obligado a cancelar algunos conciertos tras la retirada de los artistas que tenían previsto actuar, pero el grupo ha declarado que seguirá habiendo actuaciones musicales.\n\n\n“Vamos a tener literalmente cientos de artistas”, dijo Keith Krach, CEO de Freedom 250, a CNN. “Tenemos algo para todos. Contaremos con excelentes oradores, bandas militares, artistas increíbles, cantantes extraordinarios, magos y mucho más”.\n\n\nLos visitantes podrán deleitarse con una variedad de platillos clásicos de las ferias estatales, como salchichas rebozadas gigantes, muslos de pavo y cubos de papas fritas. También estarán disponibles los panqueques de Judy’s Family Cafe, un restaurante de Illinois conocido por sus videos virales en redes sociales.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

En términos mensuales, se mantuvo sin cambios en 0,4 %.\n\n\nSin embargo, al excluir los precios de la gasolina y los alimentos, dos de los componentes más volátiles, la llamada inflación subyacente aumentó a una tasa anual más moderada del 3,4 %, frente al 3,3 % de abril.\n\n\nLas cifras de inflación estuvieron, en su mayoría, en línea con las expectativas de los economistas, según el consenso de estimaciones de FactSet.\n\n\nLos datos publicados este jueves llegan en un momento clave para las autoridades de la Reserva Federal, que han insistido en actuar con paciencia respecto a los recortes de las tasas de interés ante la persistencia de las presiones inflacionarias. Actualmente, los mercados financieros descuentan la posibilidad de que las tasas vuelvan a subir este año.\n\n\nEl presidente Donald Trump ha insistido en que el banco central reduzca las tasas y recientemente nombró a un nuevo presidente de la Reserva Federal más alineado con su visión. Sin embargo, unas cifras de inflación más altas de lo esperado alejan la posibilidad de que esa medida se adopte en el corto plazo.\n\n\nMientras tanto, el gasto y los ingresos crecieron más de lo previsto por los economistas el mes pasado.\n\n\nEl ingreso disponible aumentó un 0,7 % en mayo, antes de ajustar por inflación. Una vez realizado ese ajuste, el ingreso disponible registró un incremento del 0,3 %.\n\n\nEl gasto también aumentó un 0,3 %.\n\n\nOtro dato positivo fue que el ahorro personal repuntó ligeramente en mayo, después de varios meses de descensos a medida que los consumidores destinaban más dinero a la gasolina.\n\n\nEn un informe separado, el Departamento de Comercio revisó al alza el crecimiento del producto interno bruto (PIB) de Estados Unidos, que mide el valor de todos los bienes y servicios producidos por la economía, al 2,1 %, frente al 1,6 % de la tercera estimación. La revisión obedeció a un ajuste a la baja en las importaciones, que restan al cálculo del PIB.\n\n\nAhora que los buques petroleros vuelven a transitar por el estrecho de Ormuz tras meses de interrupciones, los precios de la gasolina comenzaron a bajar. Esto, a su vez, está ayudando a aliviar las preocupaciones por la inflación y reduce la presión sobre la Reserva Federal para actuar antes de lo previsto.\n\n\nSin embargo, los datos de los próximos meses serán la verdadera prueba para determinar si la caída de los precios de la gasolina, en caso de mantenerse, se traduce en una desaceleración de la inflación.\n\n\nParte del problema es que la inflación que enfrentan los estadounidenses responde a factores que van más allá de la gasolina, señaló Heather Long, economista jefe de Navy Federal Credit Union, en una nota publicada este jueves.\n\n\n“La vivienda, la atención médica y la electricidad también están presionando los presupuestos familiares y la inflación en general”, afirmó. Además, dijo que espera que el banco central aumente las tasas de interés dos veces este año.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

Un extranjero ‘llega a Estados Unidos’ únicamente cuando cruza la frontera”, escribió Alito en la opinión mayoritaria.\n\n\nSegún la legislación migratoria, el gobierno normalmente debe procesar a todo migrante que se presente en un puerto de entrada huyendo de persecución política, racial o religiosa en su país de origen. Se define como migrante sujeto a este requisito a aquella persona “que está físicamente presente en Estados Unidos o que llega a Estados Unidos”.\n\n\nSin embargo, la política de regulación de flujo (conocida como metering) permitía a los agentes federales apostados en la línea fronteriza rechazar a estos solicitantes de asilo antes incluso de que pisaran suelo estadounidense, impidiendo así que fueran inspeccionados formalmente por las autoridades, lo que constituye el primer paso de un complejo proceso que podría culminar, eventualmente, en la concesión del asilo.\n\n\nLa controvertida política se inició durante el mandato del presidente Barack Obama, pero no había estado vigente en los últimos años después de que fuera revocada por Joe Biden. Sin embargo, a principios de este año, la administración informó al tribunal que necesitaba claridad sobre si podría, en teoría, reimplementar dicha política en caso de que las condiciones en la frontera sur empeoraran.\n\n\n“A la administración le gustaría poder restablecer el sistema de cupos si las condiciones fronterizas así lo justifican”, declaró ante el tribunal Vivek Suri, fiscal general adjunto. “No puedo predecir de antemano cómo serán las condiciones en la frontera ni qué medidas específicas adoptaría la administración al respecto”.\n\n\nLa Corte Suprema también permitió este jueves poner fin a las protecciones temporales contra la deportación para potencialmente millones de ciudadanos extranjeros provenientes de países como Haití y Siria, que han sufrido guerras y desastres naturales.\n\n\nEl magistrado Samuel Alito, al redactar la opinión de la mayoría en el caso relativo al Estatus de Protección Temporal (TPS, por sus siglas en inglés), sostuvo esencialmente que la Corte Suprema no podía examinar si la administración Trump había evaluado adecuadamente dicho estatus para haitianos y sirios, dado que la ley impide a los tribunales hacerlo.\n\n\n“Las decisiones del secretario sobre la designación del TPS no están sujetas a revisión judicial”, escribió Alito en nombre del tribunal. “El texto de la disposición que prohíbe la revisión judicial del TPS prevalece claramente sobre la presunción general a favor de dicha revisión”.\n\n\nAlito también señaló que no prosperó la demanda de los litigantes basada en la cláusula de igualdad de protección. Los demandantes haitianos habían argumentado que los comentarios de Trump sobre Haití durante su campaña demostraban animosidad racial.\n\n\n“Ninguna de las declaraciones citadas, ya fuera del presidente o del secretario, tenía un carácter abiertamente racial y, en esencia, todas expresaban posturas políticas que podían fundamentarse en razones ajenas a la raza”, escribió Alito.\n\n\nEl equipo legal que representa a un grupo de ciudadanos haitianos advirtió que la decisión “provocará directamente que miles de personas inocentes sufran muertes violentas e innecesarias”.\n\n\n“Esta decisión pondrá en peligro a los haitianos beneficiarios del TPS que huyeron de su tierra natal en busca de aquello que generaciones de inmigrantes anhelaban al tomar la dolorosa decisión de dejar atrás todo lo que conocían: vivir seguros”, señalaron en un comunicado Geoff Pipoly y Andy Tauber, abogados principales de los haitianos.\n\n\n“Es un día muy triste, no solo para los haitianos con TPS, sino para cualquiera que crea, al igual que nosotros, que los inmigrantes son una de las mayores fortalezas de Estados Unidos”, afirmaron los abogados.\n\n\nLa magistrada Sonia Sotomayor redactó un contundente voto disidente, al que se sumaron los otros dos magistrados de tendencia progresista del máximo tribunal. Sotomayor, la magistrada liberal con mayor antigüedad en la corte, tomó la inusual decisión de leer su opinión en voz alta desde el estrado.\n\n\n“Las consecuencias de la decisión de hoy son predecibles”, escribió Sotomayor. “Más personas morirán”, añadió.\n\n\nAl criticar duramente a sus colegas conservadores por su decisión, Sotomayor recordó un episodio de la Segunda Guerra Mundial en el que Estados Unidos rechazó la entrada del MS St. Louis, un barco que transportaba a casi 1.000 refugiados judíos que huían de Europa en 1939. La embarcación regresó posteriormente a Europa, donde muchos de los pasajeros perecieron en el Holocausto.\n\n\n“Si los refugiados del MS St. Louis llegaran hoy a pie a un punto de entrada en nuestra frontera sur, la interpretación de la mayoría permitiría a los agentes de inmigración negarse incluso a considerar sus solicitudes de asilo, impidiéndoles físicamente pisar suelo estadounidense”, escribió Sotomayor.\n\n\nPor su parte, Steve Vladeck, analista de la Corte Suprema y profesor del Centro de Derecho de la Universidad de Georgetown, dijo a CNN: “Los dos fallos importantes de la Corte Suprema sobre inmigración emitidos el jueves representan grandes victorias para la administración Trump; no porque se hayan ratificado las políticas sustantivas del gobierno, sino porque se ha limitado drásticamente la capacidad de los tribunales para revisar dichas políticas”.\n\n\n“Una cosa habría sido que los magistrados se hubieran esforzado por defender la legalidad de las medidas migratorias del gobierno; sin embargo, al determinar simplemente que los tribunales tienen un papel —a lo sumo limitado— en el control del poder ejecutivo, la Corte está, en gran medida, tirando la toalla (tanto ella misma como el poder judicial), y lo hace, tal vez, en el peor momento posible de la historia de Estados Unidos para adoptar tal postura”, añadió Vladeck.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The majority of the court backed an argument from the product’s manufacturer that the lawsuit should have been barred because the federal government does not require a cancer warning on the label.\n\n\nJustice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the opinion for a 7-2 court. Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Neil Gorsuch dissented.\n\n\nThe lawsuit was filed by John Durnell, who became known as “spray man” in his St. Louis neighborhood for using Roundup in the parks around his home. Years later, after Durnell was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, he sued Monsanto, claiming his exposure to the pesticide was to blame. A jury awarded him $1.25 million.\n\n\nThe high court’s decision on Thursday could have implications for thousands of other lawsuits that have been filed against the company over its weedkiller. And it comes on an issue that has increasingly motivated President Donald Trump’s “Make America Healthy Again” supporters. Hundreds of those advocates turned out at the Supreme Court in April when the case was argued, rallying for consumer protections promised by MAHA’s leader, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.\n\n\nKennedy ginned up MAHA support for Trump in the 2024 election, in part on assurances that he would join the administration and crack down on alleged environmental toxins such as glyphosate – the active ingredient in Roundup.\n\n\nKennedy was a leading advocate against pesticides long before he joined the Trump administration. He was part of the legal team that represented DeWayne “Lee” Johnson, a San Francisco school groundskeeper who was diagnosed in 2014 with terminal non-Hodgkin lymphoma. For years, Johnson had sprayed Roundup around the grounds he maintained.\n\n\nDurnell’s win rested on the idea that Monsanto failed to provide a cancer warning and marketed the product as safe to use without protection. Monsanto has maintained that glyphosate does not cause cancer. And the company said that a federal law that gives wide authority to the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate weedkillers preempted the state law claims. The EPA has never required cancer warnings on the product’s labeling.\n\n\nDurnell is one of more than 100,000 people who have sued Monsanto over Roundup. That litigation was sparked in part by a 2015 finding from the International Agency for Research on Cancer that classified glyphosate as an agent that is “probably carcinogenic to humans.”\n\n\nBayer bought Monsanto in 2018.\n\n\nIn a statement, Bayer said that the decision would provide regulatory clarity for manufacturers and farmers and “should help significantly contain” Roundup lawsuits. Bayer also said the ruling should result in the dismissal of current claims.\n\n\nThe company’s lawyers focused on a 1972 law, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, which sets out extensive approval and label regulations for herbicides. The whole point of that law, the company argued, was to bar individual states from imposing a patchwork of labeling requirements on pesticides.\n\n\nThe company has removed glyphosate from the consumer version of its product, but it remains the central ingredient in industrial versions widely used by farmers.\n\n\nIn February, the company negotiated a $7.25 billion settlement that awaits final approval in Missouri state court, where many of the claims were filed. Plaintiffs eligible for the deal would receive annual payments from Bayer for up to 21 years, despite the Supreme Court decision on Thursday.\n\n\n“This Supreme Court ruling wrongly slams the courthouse door on Americans sickened by pesticides, and underscores why we negotiated a $7.25 billion settlement that guarantees compensation to Roundup victims regardless of today’s decision,” Christopher Seeger, a lawyer for plaintiffs backing the settlement, said in a statement.\n\n\n“We urge those opposing this agreement, including the attorney who unsuccessfully argued Durnell, to drop their opposition so that tens of thousands of cancer victims no longer have to wait for justice after a decade of delay,” Seeger said.\n\n\nBusiness groups, including the Chamber of Commerce, warned that if the Supreme Court sided with Durnell, it would open other industries that are subject to similar federal requirements to lawsuits. That potentially includes medical devices, cosmetics, pool products and even pet food subject to at least some federal labeling regulations.\n\n\nDespite Kennedy’s previous advocacy on the issue, the Trump administration urged the Supreme Court to take up the case and supported Monsanto’s argument, warning that the lower courts’ decisions in Durnell’s favor would lead to a “state-by-state cacophony” of regulations. A Missouri appeals court upheld the Durnell verdict and Monsanto appealed to the US Supreme Court last year after the state’s highest court declined to review that decision.\n\n\nAt times, Kennedy publicly bristled at the administration’s support. After President Donald Trump ordered more US production of glyphosate in February, the health secretary published a lengthy statement calling pesticides and herbicides “toxic by design” products that put Americans’ health at risk.\n\n\nBut he also conceded that farmers depend on the chemicals to stabilize crop production and the food supply.\n\n\nHis response angered some MAHA advocates who have argued that farmers and industry can reduce pesticide use without endangering the food supply, or shielding manufacturers from lawsuits.\n\n\n“The message from this ruling is dangerous: if a federal agency approves a product, manufacturers may be shielded from accountability even when people are harmed,” Vani Hari, a wellness influencer known for her “Food Babe” blog, said in a statement.\n\n\nHari and other speakers at the April “People vs. Poison” rally warned that the decision would inflame MAHA-aligned voters ahead of the midterm elections this fall.\n\n\n“President Trump campaigned on MAHA and then filed legal briefs protecting Bayer-Monsanto from farmers who got cancer because of their products. That’s a serious betrayal,” Tim Ryan, a former Democratic congressman from Ohio, said in a statement.\n\n\nZach Lahn, an Iowa farmer who beat out Republican veterans to win gubernatorial primary this month, said Thursday that it was a “terrible decision” by the Supreme Court.\n\n\nLahn has run his campaign in part on promises to address alleged health risks of pesticides.\n\n\n“Farmers have now lost their ability to have recourse when they are harmed by these products,” Lahn wrote on X.\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional details.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

USPS cannot carry out its plan for the new regulations in the 23 Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia.\n\n\nThe order also blocks for those states Trump’s order that Department of Homeland Security create lists of each state’s voting-age citizens ahead of the election. She explicitly halted the administration from “taking any steps to create a new federal program to superintend and control Plaintiff States’ maintenance of their voter rolls,” or bringing prosecutions against election officials in those states based on the executive order’s instructions\n\n\nHer ruling came in one of several lawsuits challenging Trump’s March 2026 executive order, and she agreed with the challengers that he had exceeded his authority in issuing it.\n\n\nTrump’s order contemplates giving the USPS and DHS new roles in screening the mail voting process and in the search for potential non-citizen voters.\n\n\nUnder a plan proposed to comply with his instruction, USPS would require states to submit lists of their mail voters 30 days before the election in order to use the postal service for transmitting ballots. The plan also mandates that states put individualized ballot tracking barcodes on ballot envelopes — barcodes that also would be provided to the mail carrying agency.\n\n\nCritics say the plan is practically infeasible, while running afoul of both the Postal Service’s statutory obligations and the Constitution’s separation of powers.\n\n\nDHS, meanwhile, has been ordered by Trump to use federal databases to assemble lists of citizens that could be provided to states. The March executive order did not connect the DHS provisions to the instructions for USPS. But in court filings since, the administration has indicated that DHS is exploring data-sharing with the postal agency to “identify anomalies that may suggest voter fraud or misuse.”\n\n\nEven before the March 2026 order, the Trump administration was ramping up efforts to use federal immigration data to hunt for non-citizens. However, the DHS citizenship data program that has been commonly used in that exercise is known to turn up false positives, prompting fears that eligible voters will be wrongly purged from the voter rolls.\n\n\nIn a separate case in Washington, DC, this week, a federal judge blocked the use of that citizenship data system for purging voter rolls.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Este es el terremoto más fuerte registrado en Venezuela en más de un siglo.\n\n\nLos terremotos se miden por magnitud en una escala logarítmica; por lo tanto, cada aumento de un número entero se traduce en 32 veces más energía liberada por el sismo. Debido a cómo funciona la escala, el segundo terremoto de magnitud 7,5 fue en realidad el doble de grande que el primero, que tuvo una magnitud de 7,2.\n\n\nAmbos sismos se clasificaron como de gran magnitud y se sintieron tanto en Venezuela como en la vecina Colombia. Se prevé que en los próximos días se reporten daños graves a edificios e infraestructura.\n\n\nLa conectividad a Internet disminuyó drásticamente en toda Venezuela debido a los daños causados ​​por los terremotos en la infraestructura eléctrica y de telecomunicaciones, según datos de la organización de vigilancia Netblocks.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

A state of emergency has been declared as first responders deploy nationwide, and other countries rally to send assistance.\n\n\nThis comes at a dire time for Venezuela, which is still deep in political and financial crisis – being led by an interim government after US forces captured President Nicolás Maduro earlier this year, and facing an economy crippled by years of hyperinflation.\n\n\nHere’s what we know so far.\n\n\nWhat happened?\n\n\n\nA magnitude 7.2 foreshock took place near San Felipe, the capital city of Yaracuy state, just after 6:04 p.m. ET.\n\n\nJust 40 seconds later, it was followed by a larger 7.5 magnitude quake, some 23 kilometers (about 14 miles) southeast of Yumare, a town also in Yaracuy state.\n\n\nWednesday was a public holiday, meaning many people may have been home or at public events.\n\n\nThe quake was felt in states across the country, as well as in neighboring Colombia, hundreds of kilometers from the epicenter.\n\n\nVideos seen and geolocated by CNN showed some buildings collapsing in seconds or terrified residents evacuating buildings with their loved ones and pets before gathering on the street. One Caracas resident who escaped from a damaged building said “the scene was like a horror movie.”\n\n\nAnother Caracas resident, Martha Añez, described seeing no way out of her apartment and leaning out onto her balcony, “screaming, ‘We’re trapped! We need help! Please, someone come!’\n\n\n“We couldn’t get out; there was hammering from one side and kicking from the other. I don’t know who actually rescued us, because they were shouting, ‘Get away from there, we’re coming and we are about six!’, until they finally burst through the door,” she told CNN.\n\n\nThree floors of her apartment building are “totally and absolutely wrecked,” she said.\n\n\nWhat’s the toll and damage?\n\n\n\nNational Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez said Thursday that at least 188 people are dead and 1,520 more have been injured, with the toll expected to rise.\n\n\nRodríguez also reported that 157 people are missing and more than 200 more are trapped under the rubble, as search and rescue teams descend on the destruction left behind by the quakes.\n\n\nSome 250 buildings have collapsed or endured damage, with the coastal state of La Guaira hardest hit and now declared a disaster zone, President Delcy Rodriguez – who stepped into the role after Maduro’s capture – said in a video message.\n\n\n“We are currently engaged in arduous rescue operations to save as many lives as God allows. This is truly a tragedy,” she said.\n\n\nThousands of Caracas residents slept outdoors or in their cars overnight, fearful of the aftershocks that kept hitting the city even after the major quakes had subsided.\n\n\nAfter assessing the aftermath Thursday, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) – also known as Doctors Without Borders – discovered many citizens on the streets, gathering in public spaces, unable to return home.\n\n\n“There are still a lot of people staying outside,” explained MSF’s medical coordinator in Venezuela, Halima Husein, in a voice note shared with CNN.\n\n\nShe described some as unable to access their homes because the damage around is too great, while others had to be evacuated because their homes were directly impacted.\n\n\nFor the communities affected, uncertainty presides: “They have their backpacks and they cannot move,” Husein said.\n\n\nMany are still unaware of their loved ones’ fate. In the Los Palos Grandes area in eastern Caracas, anguished people pleaded with authorities Thursday for news about relatives whose buildings collapsed.\n\n\nMultiple videos geolocated by CNN show extensive damage to buildings and infrastructure across Venezuela, including in the capital Caracas. In La Guaira, a large waterfront hotel in the city of Macuto has been reduced to rubble, while in the town of Catia La Mar, videos show several collapsed buildings and badly damaged high-rises.\n\n\nThe US Geological Survey issued two separate red alerts through its PAGER system for the back-to-back quakes, warning of probable “high casualties and extensive damage.” Most people in the region live in structures vulnerable to the quake’s shaking, it added.\n\n\nInternet connectivity dropped sharply across Venezuela after the quakes damaged power and telecoms infrastructure, before recovering slightly in the hours afterward, according to watchdog NetBlocks.\n\n\nThese disruptions may hinder rescue efforts and the flow of information being reported out of affected areas in the coming hours.\n\n\nWhat’s the response?\n\n\n\nVenezuela declared a state of emergency, with a high-level task force created to oversee search and rescue operations, and an initial $200 million fund to rebuild the country, Rodriguez said.\n\n\nSimon Bolivar Airport near Caracas has temporarily closed after suffering damage, she added. School classes will be suspended nationwide for a week, and rail services and non-essential activities have also been temporarily canceled. Nationwide prayers for all religions will be held at 7 p.m local time, she said.\n\n\nSecurity forces have been deployed across Venezuela, according to the Ministry of Communication and Information. It has cut off direct gas supplies to certain buildings as a preventative measure as authorities assess damaged structures.\n\n\nRescue workers persisted through the night attempting to find survivors still trapped under the rubble, and international teams are heading to Venezuela to assist.\n\n\nLocal councils are also working swiftly to provide shelters in schools and baseball stadiums, to prevent people from sleeping on the streets.\n\n\nMSF teams are coordinating with local hospitals to respond effectively to the emergency, and donating trauma emergency kits where possible.\n\n\nThe US pledged a $100 million contribution to a UN humanitarian fund for Venezuela and an additional $50 million to aid organizations already working in the country, the State Department announced Thursday.\n\n\nThe US Defense Department will also provide aircraft to assess damage, find injured victims and deliver life-saving assistance, the State Department added.\n\n\nUS Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington has deployed “search and rescue teams” to help after President Donald Trump voiced his support; there are further teams being sent from the Dominican Republic, France, El Salvador, Mexico, Switzerland, Spain, Italy and Qatar. Other countries have offered humanitarian aid, including China, Brazil, and some Caribbean nations.\n\n\nThis is a developing story and will be updated.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Prices of chips, as well as demand, have increased because of the massive number of AI datacenters being built, prompting companies like Micron to post blockbuster earnings.\n\n\n“We’re doing our best to mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable,” Cook previously told the Wall Street Journal.\n\n\nEven Apple, one of the world’s most profitable companies with a solid supply chain, can’t avoid the surge in prices for memory that has reverberated across the consumer electronics industry.\n\n\nNotably, prices for iPhones and AirPods remain the same.\n\n\n–CNN’s Lisa Eadicicco and John Towfighi contributed to this report\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Unos 15 minutos después de que el sismo comenzara a las 2:46 p. m., hora local, casi todo el país se desplazó hacia el este, según mediciones realizadas por estaciones de GPS.\n\n\nEl movimiento fue pequeño —de entre 5 y 6 milímetros—, pero permanente y, en ese momento, pasó prácticamente desapercibido o fue atribuido a un error en los datos. Sin embargo, la geofísica de la Universidad de Chicago Sunyoung Park consideró que las señales registradas, que indicaban ese desplazamiento, correspondían a un fenómeno real. De hecho, el movimiento del terreno reflejaba un fenómeno sísmico “extraordinario” y hasta ahora no documentado, según un nuevo estudio.\n\n\n“Lo inusual de este movimiento es que prácticamente todo Japón se desplazó de manera casi uniforme al mismo tiempo”, explicó Park, quien dirigió la investigación.\n\n\nAñadió que el movimiento, que afectó al territorio continental japonés —desde Hokkaido hasta Kyushu—, una extensión de aproximadamente 3.000 kilómetros, no coincidía con el momento del terremoto inicial y ocurrió antes de que se registraran réplicas importantes.\n\n\nTras años de analizar datos sísmicos y de GPS, Park y sus colegas descubrieron que las ondas generadas por el terremoto viajaron hasta el núcleo de la Tierra y luego rebotaron hacia la corteza, desplazando cuatro placas tectónicas principales.\n\n\nAunque los sismólogos ya sabían que las ondas producidas por grandes terremotos pueden atravesar el planeta y rebotar en el núcleo externo, compuesto por metal líquido, creían que esa energía se disipaba antes de regresar a la corteza terrestre.\n\n\n“Que este tipo de onda que viaja hasta grandes profundidades desencadene un evento es algo nuevo, y este caso también es muy inusual porque abarca un área muy extensa”, explicó Park.\n\n\nAunque los terremotos pueden provocar desplazamientos espectaculares del terreno —abriendo grandes grietas y moviendo extensas zonas varios centímetros—, ese tipo de movimiento suele ser mucho más localizado que el evento sísmico detectado por Park y sus colegas, que afectó a todo el país.\n\n\nEn el terremoto de 2011, por ejemplo, las dos placas tectónicas que se deslizaron una junto a la otra bajo Japón se desplazaron unos 10 metros, explicó Goran Ekstrom, geofísico de la Universidad de Columbia.\n\n\n“Ese rápido movimiento fue el que generó el temblor y el tsunami, y también hizo que toda la isla de Honshu se desplazara unos 20 centímetros hacia el este”, señaló Ekstrom, quien no participó en el estudio, en referencia a la isla más grande de Japón.\n\n\nEl desplazamiento descubierto por Park y sus colegas, aunque menor, resulta significativo porque ocurrió en un área tan extensa que constituye el más amplio registrado hasta ahora y liberó aproximadamente la misma cantidad de energía que un terremoto de magnitud 7,5, según un comunicado de prensa.\n\n\nEl terremoto de marzo de 2011, cuyo epicentro se ubicó a 372 kilómetros al noreste de Tokio, fue el más fuerte registrado en la historia de Japón. Desencadenó un enorme tsunami, una crisis nuclear y causó la muerte de unas 20.000 personas. Park afirmó que los responsables de formular políticas públicas deberían tener en cuenta esta fuente de riesgo sísmico hasta ahora desconocida.\n\n\nA diferencia de las réplicas, que no pueden predecirse con precisión, el recorrido de ida y vuelta de estas ondas hasta el núcleo terrestre —unos 5.800 kilómetros— toma alrededor de 15 minutos, por lo que se trata de un fenómeno sísmico que podría anticiparse y para el que, potencialmente, sería posible prepararse. Sin embargo, debido a que la energía se distribuyó sobre un área extremadamente amplia, el fenómeno habría sido menos intenso y habría causado menos daños que un terremoto típico de magnitud 7,5, cuya energía se concentra en una zona mucho más reducida.\n\n\n“Incluso si hubiera causado daños, probablemente habría sido muy difícil distinguirlos de los provocados por el terremoto principal y las réplicas posteriores”, dijo Park.\n\n\nEl desplazamiento de 2011 provocado por la onda sísmica que viajó hasta el núcleo abarcó las intersecciones entre las placas tectónicas del Pacífico y Ojotsk, así como el límite entre las placas del Mar de Filipinas y Euroasiática. Las placas tectónicas son fragmentos de la corteza rocosa terrestre que se desplazan lenta y continuamente.\n\n\nSegún Park, el intenso sacudimiento provocado por el terremoto inicial pudo haber facilitado la llegada de la onda que regresó desde el núcleo, reactivando la falla alrededor del epicentro y desencadenando movimientos en intersecciones de placas mucho más alejadas.\n\n\nJapón cuenta con una red “magnífica” de estaciones de monitoreo sísmico y satelital que hizo posible registrar este fenómeno, explicó Vedran Lekić, profesor del Departamento de Ciencias Geológicas, Ambientales y Planetarias de la Universidad de Maryland. Sin embargo, consideró posible que “este tipo de fenómeno ocurra en otras regiones con escasa instrumentación, donde no pueda documentarse de forma concluyente”.\n\n\nHasta donde él sabe, un desplazamiento del terreno a lo largo de un sistema de fallas tan extenso como el que existe bajo Japón nunca antes se había asociado con la llegada de una onda sísmica que rebota en el núcleo, indicó Lekić, quien tampoco participó en el estudio, en un correo electrónico.\n\n\nPark y sus colegas evaluaron otras posibles explicaciones para el desplazamiento de Japón hacia el este, entre ellas un deslizamiento submarino, pero sostuvieron que el impacto de un evento de ese tipo habría sido mucho más localizado.\n\n\nSi su interpretación de los datos es correcta, la investigación es “muy significativa”, afirmó Amanda Thomas, geofísica de la Universidad de California en Davis, quien tampoco participó en el estudio.\n\n\n“La principal implicación del estudio es que los grandes terremotos podrían seguir influyendo en los sistemas de fallas de maneras inesperadas durante muchos minutos después de la ruptura principal, no únicamente mediante las réplicas, sino también por el paso de ondas sísmicas que llegan más tarde”, afirmó.\n\n\n“Todavía no entendemos completamente cómo funcionan las fallas, y observaciones como esta nos aportan otra pieza del rompecabezas”.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Ahora, nuevos hallazgos sobre el sexo de los individuos cuyos restos se descubrieron allí ofrecen a los investigadores una perspectiva fresca, pero desconcertante, sobre este peculiar pariente humano.\n\n\nEn 2015, los científicos describieron por primera vez una especie de homínido diminuta y enigmática, a partir de un conjunto de fósiles extraordinariamente rico hallado en un lugar conocido como la Cámara Dinaledi, dentro del sistema de cuevas.\n\n\nA pesar de tener un cerebro no mucho mayor que el de un chimpancé, los investigadores plantearon la hipótesis de que Homo naledi —nombre que recibió la especie— enterraba deliberadamente a sus muertos en los confines de la cueva. Este acto representaba una práctica sofisticada que antes se consideraba exclusiva de los humanos. Según informaron, es posible que los miembros de la especie incluso grabaran símbolos en las paredes rocosas.\n\n\nLa investigación más reciente añade más misterio: los científicos han recuperado proteínas antiguas de dientes pertenecientes a 20 individuos hallados en el yacimiento y han determinado que todos ellos eran de sexo femenino.\n\n\n“Cuando se conocieron estos resultados, hubo muchos científicos que se pusieron bastante nerviosos. No era lo que esperábamos”, afirmó Lee Berger, paleoantropólogo y explorador residente de National Geographic, quien ha dirigido las excavaciones en el lugar y ha sido coautor de la última investigación.\n\n\n“Dos laboratorios analizaron estos datos”, señaló Berger. “Repetimos el análisis dos veces porque no queríamos que se tratara de un error interno”, añadió.\n\n\nLa científica molecular Palesa Madupe dirigió la investigación mientras trabajaba en el Instituto Globe de la Universidad de Copenhague, centro pionero en el campo de la investigación de proteínas antiguas conocido como paleoproteómica.\n\n\nMadupe, que actualmente trabaja como investigadora posdoctoral en el Instituto Max Planck de Antropología Evolutiva en Alemania, analizó 23 muestras de esmalte dental. Dos de los dientes no aportaron información útil y otros dos pertenecían al mismo individuo, lo que resultó en un tamaño de muestra de 20, según el estudio.\n\n\nPara determinar el sexo de los restos, Madupe analizó las muestras en busca de la versión masculina de la proteína amelogenina —que solo se encuentra en el cromosoma Y masculino—, pero dicho marcador biológico estaba totalmente ausente en todas las muestras. Entre los homínidos y otros mamíferos, las hembras suelen presentar dos cromosomas X, mientras que los machos poseen un cromosoma X y uno Y. Dado que solo los machos tienen cromosoma Y, la detección de la variante de la proteína amelogenina ligada al cromosoma Y habría revelado que un diente pertenecía a un macho. Aunque es una técnica relativamente reciente, se ha aplicado bastante en restos antiguos, incluidos fósiles de hace dos millones de años pertenecientes a especies aún más remotas emparentadas con los humanos. Los restos de Homo naledi tenían una antigüedad de entre 335.000 y 241.000 años.\n\n\nEn retrospectiva, se debería haber percibido antes que los fósiles parecían corresponder a hembras, , señaló Berger. Los fósiles de adultos hallados en la Cámara Dinaledi mostraban escasa variación en cuanto a tamaño, forma y otras características físicas. Por lo general, cabe esperar cierta variación entre machos y hembras, un fenómeno conocido como dimorfismo sexual.\n\n\n“Cuando describimos a esos homínidos en 2015, afirmamos que se trataba de la especie de homínido antiguo con menor dimorfismo sexual jamás descubierta”, comentó Berger.\n\n\n“Es una de las grandes lecciones científicas que se derivan de esto”, añadió.\n\n\n¿A qué se debe que en el yacimiento solo se encontraran individuos de un solo género? Berger sostiene que se trata de un ejemplo de sesgo sexual en las prácticas funerarias. El Homo naledi “enterraba a sus seres queridos mediante rituales que los separaban en la muerte según su sexo y género”, afirmó.\n\n\nSin embargo, el estudio, publicado este miércoles en la revista científica Cell, señaló que la ausencia de indicadores masculinos en los restos analizados podría explicarse por la presencia de un gen amelogenina-Y que pudo haber mutado o haberse perdido (sufrido una deleción) con el paso del tiempo.\n\n\nEnrico Cappellini, autor principal del nuevo estudio y profesor de paleoproteómica en el Instituto Globe de la Universidad de Copenhague, afirmó que la pérdida total de dicho gen se ha observado en algunos hombres vivos e incluso en el ADN de un neandertal macho.\n\n\nNo obstante, señaló en un comunicado de prensa que resultaría poco probable que el gen hubiera desaparecido “ni siquiera en la mitad de los 20 individuos estudiados, ni mucho menos en toda una población”.\n\n\n“Cualquiera de los dos escenarios —ya sea la ausencia de machos de Homo naledi en el sistema de cuevas Rising Star o una deleción sistemática de su gen AMELY— resulta fascinante y tendría profundas implicaciones para comprender mejor la biología y la evolución de esta especie”, añadió.\n\n\nRyan McRae, paleoantropólogo del Museo Nacional de Historia Natural del Smithsonian que no participó en la investigación, comentó que el yacimiento de Rising Star y el Homo naledi son tan “interesantes y atípicos” que siempre despertarán curiosidad e intriga, tanto en el ámbito científico como en el público general.\n\n\n“Aunque se trate de una acumulación de un solo sexo, como sugieren los autores, plantea más interrogantes que respuestas: ‘¿por qué solo individuos hembras?’”\n\n\n“Sabemos dónde terminaron los cuerpos de los individuos de Homo naledi, pero desconocemos cómo llegaron allí, así como dónde o cómo vivían”.\n\n\nMichael Petraglia, profesor de la Universidad Griffith en Brisbane, Australia, y director del Centro de Excelencia ARC para la Transformación de la Investigación sobre los Orígenes Humanos, lleva tiempo sosteniendo que no existen pruebas suficientes para respaldar la idea de que el Homo naledi enterraba deliberadamente a sus muertos y creaba arte rupestre. Ambos comportamientos sugerirían capacidades cognitivas avanzadas.\n\n\nLa afirmación de que este era el primer ejemplo conocido de un lugar de entierro específico para un sexo era “más bien una exageración”, opinó. Sin embargo, no tenía motivos para cuestionar la determinación del sexo femenino, ya que, según señaló, los autores de la Universidad de Copenhague “realizan una labor científicamente rigurosa en el campo de la proteómica”. “En cuanto a su interpretación de que el sesgo hacia el sexo femenino respalda su teoría sobre el enterramiento, lo único que diría es: no vayamos tan rápido”, comentó por correo electrónico.\n\n\n“Es perfectamente posible que Homo naledi, al ser un homínido de cerebro pequeño y similar a los primates no humanos, formara grupos con una alta proporción de hembras frente a machos que buscaban alimento en lugares específicos del paisaje”.\n\n\nPor ejemplo, señaló que entre los chimpancés existen grupos de búsqueda de alimento compuestos exclusivamente por hembras, y los primatólogos han observado que los grupos pequeños —incluidas hembras con crías— a veces utilizan abrigos rocosos o entradas de cuevas para buscar sombra, protegerse del calor o resguardarse de la lluvia.\n\n\nSin embargo, Berger argumenta que, si los adultos de Homo naledi hubieran llevado vidas segregadas por sexo, cabría esperar encontrar restos de individuos varones jóvenes en el yacimiento; sin embargo, esto no ocurrió, a pesar de que se han desenterrado los restos de varios niños.\n\n\n“Creo que incluso nuestro crítico más minucioso tendrá que detenerse a reflexionar sobre esto, ya que la probabilidad de que se trate de un fenómeno natural es de una entre un millón”, afirmó Berger.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

No hemos alcanzado nuestros objetivos iniciales y quiero saber qué está sucediendo”.\n\n\nA partir de ahí, según varias fuentes presentes en la sala, un furioso Trump arremetió contra Cassidy, alzando la voz. Cassidy recordó que “perdió los estribos” y le respondió a gritos con el mismo “tono y volumen” que el presidente.\n\n\nEn un momento dado, durante el almuerzo, Trump le ordenó a Cassidy que se sentara, pero este se negó, según otra fuente. Trump entonces lo llamó “loco”. En respuesta, Cassidy le gritó a Trump, llegando incluso a referirse a él como su “hermano”. Trump le dijo que no era su “hermano”, y finalmente Cassidy se sentó.\n\n\nSin embargo, horas más tarde, el republicano de Louisiana cambió su voto sobre la resolución similar relativa a los poderes de guerra contra Irán, y votó en contra de su aprobación, lo que permitió que los republicanos evitaran de hecho su reprimenda al presidente.\n\n\nSu voto se produjo después de que dijera haber recibido una “exhaustiva sesión informativa” sobre Irán del vicepresidente J. D. Vance y del enviado especial Steve Witkoff. “Agradezco la rápida invitación a la Casa Blanca para abordar muchas de mis preocupaciones”, escribió Cassidy en X.\n\n\nAun así, la tensa reunión de aproximadamente 70 minutos entre Trump y los senadores republicanos el miércoles por la mañana reflejó la creciente tensión, ya que el presidente ha trastocado repetidamente puntos clave de la agenda republicana en el Capitolio. Si bien Trump ha dedicado gran parte de su segundo mandato a eludir al Congreso para satisfacer sus propios intereses —desde despedir a empleados federales y descontrolar presupuestos hasta declarar la guerra—, un creciente sector dentro de su partido está dispuesto a decir que ya han tenido suficiente.\n\n\nLos líderes republicanos de la Cámara de Representantes y del Senado están ansiosos por dejar de lado algunas de las prioridades personales de Trump —incluido un proyecto de ley de reforma electoral que carece de los votos necesarios para su aprobación en el Senado— y, en cambio, centrarse en temas relacionados con el costo de vida para impulsarlos en sus distritos. Sin embargo, se enfrentan a una versión particularmente impredecible de Trump, a quien parece importarle poco el esfuerzo del partido por coordinar cuidadosamente una estrategia para las elecciones de mitad de mandato. Dentro del Capitolio, los altos cargos republicanos están exasperados por el comportamiento del presidente en las últimas semanas, y algunos insisten en que está recibiendo “malos consejos” de su equipo, según diversas fuentes republicanas.\n\n\n“Están bastante exasperados con todo esto”, dijo un republicano que ha hablado con varios legisladores republicanos en situación vulnerable, describiéndolos como cada vez más consternados por la caída en los índices de aprobación de Trump. “Ven los mismos datos que todos los demás, pero tampoco quieren verse envueltos en una disputa con el presidente”.\n\n\nCassidy afirmó que la tensión durante el almuerzo del miércoles fue tan intensa que, “en un momento dado, mis compañeros me dijeron: ‘Bien, Bill, siéntate’, así que me senté e intenté calmar los ánimos”. Pero eso no sirvió de mucho para aliviar la tensión. Un funcionario de la Casa Blanca declaró posteriormente que Cassidy había “hecho el ridículo por completo”, calificándolo de “descontrolado” mientras el presidente intentaba explicar el estado de las negociaciones en curso.\n\n\nSegún senadores y asesores republicanos frustrados, una de las razones por las que solo Cassidy se opuso a Trump es que el presidente dominó el podio y no dejó tiempo para que los senadores hablaran o le hicieran preguntas.\n\n\nEl almuerzo a puertas cerradas tuvo lugar un día después de que Trump expresara públicamente su frustración con los cuatro senadores republicanos, incluido Cassidy, que habían votado a favor de limitar sus poderes en la guerra contra Irán. “Cuatro republicanos perdedores votaron con los demócratas”, dijo Trump en Truth Social el martes por la noche tras la votación del Senado, a la que calificó de “inoportuna e insignificante”.\n\n\nUna persona informada sobre la reunión en el Capitolio afirmó que la ira de Trump no solo iba dirigida a Cassidy, sino, en general, a todos los republicanos que votaron en su contra en el tema de Irán, y a quienes no estuvieron presentes en la votación. Un senador comentó que Trump se sintió menospreciado por ese voto simbólico.\n\n\nTras el almuerzo a puerta cerrada, el senador John Kennedy declaró a los periodistas que “el presidente estaba y sigue estando furioso por la votación de ayer sobre los poderes de guerra”.\n\n\nPosteriormente, Trump dejó entrever su frustración, aunque insistió en que la reunión había ido “realmente genial”.\n\n\n“Hay algunas personas que no me caen bien, pero no pasa nada”, dijo. “Creo que sabes quiénes son”.\n\n\nTan solo unas horas antes, Trump había echado por tierra los planes para celebrar la reciente aprobación de la ley —el proyecto de ley sobre asequibilidad de la vivienda más importante en una generación— en una rueda de prensa con destacados republicanos. En su lugar, decidió no firmarla, frustrando así cualquier intento de promover una iniciativa para abordar las preocupaciones sobre el costo de vida.\n\n\nIncluso con unas elecciones de mitad de mandato potencialmente devastadoras para el Partido Republicano, Trump se niega a reconocer que su principal objetivo legislativo —la Ley “SAVE America”— no cuenta con los votos necesarios. Trump dedicó gran parte de su discurso ante los senadores republicanos a ese proyecto de ley electoral, que el senador Tommy Tuberville de Alabama describió como “el mejor discurso que le he visto dar”.\n\n\n“Se emocionó en algunos momentos, hablando básicamente de cómo el comunismo se está apoderando del poder, que esta será nuestra última oportunidad si no acabamos con la obstrucción parlamentaria”, dijo Tuberville, refiriéndose a las elecciones primarias de Nueva York de la noche anterior, en las que ganó una lista de candidatos respaldados por el alcalde del socialismo democrático, Zohran Mamdani.\n\n\nTuberville, el célebre exentrenador de fútbol americano de Auburn, lo comparó con el discurso de un entrenador en el descanso: “Ya saben, ‘no nos queda mucho tiempo’”.\n\n\nSegún un senador republicano presente en la reunión, Trump argumentó específicamente que la victoria de los candidatos respaldados por Mamdani en las elecciones de Nueva York era una señal de que necesitaban la Ley SAVE America.\n\n\nAl final, fue uno de los leales a Trump, el senador Rick Scott, quien intentó hacerle entender a Trump que sencillamente no hay suficientes votos republicanos para aprobar su proyecto de ley electoral en el Congreso.\n\n\n“Les dije: ‘Así estamos hoy’”, comentó Scott, de Florida, al recordar la reunión. “Soy un hombre de negocios. Hay que vivir con los pies en la tierra”.\n\n\nPero no estaba claro si Trump había comprendido ese mensaje. Scott dijo que Trump está centrado en aprobar el proyecto de ley por cualquier medio necesario: “Él realmente cree que es clave para las elecciones de este otoño”.\n\n\nEl líder de la mayoría del Senado, John Thune, con quien Trump se ha mostrado cada vez más frustrado tras bambalinas a medida que el proyecto de ley electoral se ha estancado en el Senado, dijo que no podía saber si Trump se dejó influir por los propios cálculos de los senadores sobre el recuento de votos.\n\n\n“El presidente dejó muy clara su postura, y ya sabemos lo que piensa al respecto. No estoy seguro de cuál fue su conclusión, pero creo que es justo decir que ya lo hemos mencionado varias veces”, dijo Thune. “No es la conclusión a la que él querría que llegáramos, pero es lo que tengo que decir”.\n\n\nEl senador John Cornyn, quien, al igual que Cassidy, es un senador republicano saliente que perdió ante un rival en las primarias respaldado por Trump, bromeó al salir de la reunión diciendo que Trump ofreció “un mensaje de unidad bastante contundente”.\n\n\n“El presidente concluyó predicando la unidad, pero dedicó toda la hora a hablar de temas que no estaban precisamente unificados”, añadió Cornyn.\n\n\nEsta noticia se ha actualizado con información adicional.\n\n\nCon información de Ted Barrett, Annie Grayer, Ellis Kim, Alison Main y Dugald McConnell, de CNN.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

On a monthly basis it was unchanged at 0.4%.\n\n\nBut when stripping out gas and food prices, two of the most volatile components tracked, so-called core inflation rose at a much more muted annual rate of 3.4% from 3.3% in April.\n\n\nThe inflation readings were mostly in line with economists’ expectations, according to FactSet consensus estimates.\n\n\nThursday’s data comes at a pivotal time for Fed policymakers, who have signaled patience on rate cuts amid lingering concerns about sticky inflation. Financial markets are currently pricing in the possibility of rate hikes later this year. President Donald Trump has repeatedly pushed for the central bank to cut rates — and recently appointed a new Fed chairman who is more aligned with his thinking — but stronger-than-expected inflation readings push the timeline for such a move further out.\n\n\nMeanwhile, spending and income rose faster than economists anticipated last month.\n\n\nDisposable income rose to 0.7% in April, however, that’s before adjusting for inflation. But even when adjusting for inflation, disposable incomes rose 0.3% in April.\n\n\nSpending also rose by 0.3%.\n\n\nAnother positive development: personal savings ticked up slightly in May after dwindling for months as consumers spent more on gas.\n\n\nIn a separate report from the Commerce Department, US gross domestic product, which measures all the goods and services produced in the economy, was revised higher to 2.1% from 1.6% in the third estimate. The upward revision can be attributed to a downward revision on imports, which subtracts from GDP.\n\n\nAll eyes on Hormuz\n\n\n\nNow that oil tankers are passing through the Strait of Hormuz after months of being stalled, gas prices are starting to come down. In turn, that’s helping to alleviate inflationary concerns and pressure on the Fed to act sooner.\n\n\nBut upcoming months’ data will be the ultimate test to see if indeed lower gas prices, assuming they continue to decline, translate to slower inflation.\n\n\nPart of the problem is that the inflation Americans are experiencing stems from more than just gas, Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union, said in a note Thursday.\n\n\n“Housing, medical care and electricity are also putting pressure on family budgets and overall inflation,” she said, adding that she expects the central bank to hike rates twice this year.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The United Kingdom has already broken its June temperature record for the second straight day, and other countries could see national records fall.\n\n\nSwaths of Europe are baking under a heat dome, a vast area of stagnant high pressure that acts like a lid on a pot, trapping heat. Heat domes are not unusual, but are being supercharged by the human-driven climate crisis.\n\n\nThe town of Merryfield, in southwest England, posted a temperature of 98.06 Fahrenheit (36.7 Celsius) Thursday, breaking a national June temperature record only set yesterday, according to the UK Met Office. That record may be broken again before the day is out. Prior to this heat wave, the June high was 96.08 degrees Fahrenheit (35.6 Celsius), last set 50 years ago.\n\n\nSwitzerland experienced its hottest June temperature on record Thursday, hitting 100.4 Fahrenheit (38 Celsius) in Basel, breaking a record of 98.4 degrees Fahrenheit (36.9 Celsius) from 1947, according to MétéoSuisse.\n\n\nFrance endured its hottest night ever recorded Wednesday into Thursday, weather service Météo-France announced Thursday. Nighttime heat is particularly dangerous as it gives people’s bodies no chance to recover from grueling daytime temperatures.\n\n\nOn Wednesday, France experienced its hottest day on record for the second straight day, with an average temperature of 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 Celsius) during a 24-hour period. Temperatures spiked above 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 Celsius) in many towns and cities, including Paris.\n\n\nSpain also saw national records fall this week. Monday and Tuesday were its warmest June days on record, with temperatures 12.8 degrees Fahrenheit (7.1 Celsius) above average, national weather service AEMET announced yesterday.\n\n\nThe heat has quickly turned deadly. Over the last four days, 212 people in Spain have died due to the heat wave, according to data from the country’s mortality monitoring system, MoMo.\n\n\nAt least 48 people have drowned in France seeking relief from the heat over the last week, according to a Reuters report, and three children have been found dead in hot cars. In Italy, at least five heat-related deaths have been reported, including a vineyard worker, a farmhand and a homeless man.\n\n\nPotential for more record-breaking heat\n\n\n\nTemperatures are ramping up Thursday. France will continue to be “scorching,” according to Météo-France. Red alerts cover 72 of the country’s 96 mainland regions, indicating the most severe heat warning.\n\n\nTemperatures well above 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 Celsius) are expected across the country and the country could, again, break its record for hottest day.\n\n\nThe UK remains under a very rare red extreme heat warning, which has been extended into Friday — marking a record three straight days of the most severe heat alert.\n\n\nBelgian authorities have issued a rare heat warning and Germany is expected to reach temperatures in the high 90s Fahrenheit (high 30s Celsius) Thursday.\n\n\nHow long will the heat wave last?\n\n\n\nThe heat will ease toward the weekend in the UK and France, with the most significant relief coming Sunday.\n\n\nHowever, other parts of the continent are bracing for extreme temperatures over the weekend as the heat slowly moves eastward.\n\n\nThe peak of the heat wave will be centered over Germany Saturday with many cities throughout the country expected to reach 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius). Poland, Hungry and Croatia are among other countries bracing for extreme conditions.\n\n\nTemperature anomalies will slowly decrease over Eastern Europe, but much of next week will remain 9 to 18 degrees Fahrenheit (5 to 10 Celsius) above average.\n\n\nTaylor Ward, Barbie Latza Nadeau, Joseph Ataman and Andrew Freedman contributed reporting.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

A new Gallup poll released this week found that 77% of Americans think the country’s founders would be disappointed by the way the US has turned out.

Here’s how they see the US today.\n\n\n2&#x20e3; Venezuela earthquakes\n\n\n\nDozens are dead and hundreds more are injured after two back-to-back earthquakes struck Venezuela’s northern coast on Wednesday evening. Search-and-rescue teams are now racing to reach people trapped beneath collapsed buildings and rubble. The second quake, with a magnitude of 7.5, was the country’s strongest in more than a century, while the 7.2 foreshock ranks as its fourth-largest on record.

It’s an enormous task that will require the administration to build around 775 miles of new wall by the end of 2027, and several hundred more miles of secondary and waterborne barrier by the end of 2028. One hurdle, though, is land acquisition, as extending the wall requires seizing privately owned land, primarily in Texas.

By Thursday, they were believers again.\n\n\nMicron Technology (MU), a US chipmaker, posted blockbuster quarterly results Wednesday afternoon, sending its stock up by more than 16% in pre-market trade Thursday.\n\n\nThe company reported a surge in profit during its third quarter to $28.2 billion – almost 15 times more than what it made during the same quarter a year ago. Revenues soared 346% over the same period.\n\n\nMicron is a maker of memory semiconductor chips, a type of chip used by AI companies to run their models, which are in short supply globally. Micron said in its results that its customers had committed $22 billion to secure supplies of its chips.\n\n\nIt comes after Micron’s stock fell 13% on Tuesday, part of a global sell off of AI and AI-adjacent companies. The level of volatility is a testament to how much investors have riding on the industry – the slightest indication that companies may not deliver their promised returns can prompt a mass exodus from stocks.\n\n\nThe sell off didn’t appear to be triggered by anything specific. Some market analysts pointed to worries sparked by Google (GOOG) and SpaceX (SPCX) falling somewhat sharply the previous day while others suggested that investors had been spooked by likely forthcoming rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.\n\n\nOn Thursday, in the US, the tech-heavy Nasdaq and the S&P 500 were up 2.15% and 0.75% respectively in pre-market trade while the Dow was pointing up by 0.3%.\n\n\nEurope’s benchmark Stoxx 600 index was up 0.6% by early afternoon local time. In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei 225 index closed up 4.6% while South Korea’s Kospi finished 5.4% higher. The latter tumbled 10% Tuesday, tripping a circuit breaker that prompted a 20-minute cooling off period.\n\n\nOn Tuesday, SK Hynix and Samsung, two of the world’s leading memory chipmakers, tumbled more than 12%, dragging the rest of South Korea’s stock market down with them (the two chipmaking giants make up about half of the Kospi’s total market value).\n\n\nBut SK Hynix’s stock shot up 13% on Thursday after the company disclosed plans for a listing on the US Nasdaq. SK Hynix, along with Micron, are members of the growing club of AI companies with $1 trillion-plus valuations.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

From medieval ballads to movies, the world remains captivated by this elusive figure — another big screen portrayal, this time by Hugh Jackman in “The Death of Robin Hood,” was released in the US on June 19. Today, Robin Hood is more than folklore — he is a pilgrimage destination, drawing travelers, history buffs and film fanatics to the English greenwood.\n\n\nBut who was the real Robin Hood? Was he the romanticized, honorable rogue popularized by modern media, or a brutal, unprovoked medieval gangster?\n\n\nThe death of the Major Oak marks a symbolic turning point for a legend that has evolved from a disreputable 13th-century bandit into a multi-billion-dollar global pop-culture phenomenon — and a massive tourism driver for England.\n\n\nFrom its 92-foot canopy, the tree lived through modern British history: from the Norman conquest to the English Civil War, the Industrial Revolution, and even Brexit.\n\n\nAnd it did so in an environment that seemed barely changed since its medieval heyday: 400 huge centuries-old oaks still stand proudly, cocooned by sycamores, silver birches, ash trees and heathland. Today’s Sherwood Forest may be a fraction of its original size — it has been reduced from 100,000 to the current 800 acres — but what remains is its original core, says Andrews. Stepping inside plunges you into another world.\n\n\n“It’s a magical landscape,” says Andrews “It feels like a completely different place. In the city, you’re in the 21st century, in a concrete jungle. In Sherwood Forest, as soon as you step from the visitor center onto the greenwood path between the oaks, you step back in time.\n\n\n“You don’t need to imagine. Your mind is receptive to the experience of being in the past.”\n\n\nAndrews has been wandering Sherwood Forest for more than three decades, including a six-year stint as a heritage ranger, before graduating to becoming Robin Hood himself. A historian and actor, he dresses up as the world’s most famous outlaw to take visitors around Nottingham city center and out to what he calls the “magical and medieval world” of Sherwood Forest, around 25 miles, or an hour’s drive, north of the city.\n\n\nWhile the modern city of Nottingham bears little resemblance to the medieval town namechecked in the legends — although it does still have a ceremonial Sheriff — the forest is where the past comes to life.\n\n\nSet out from the modern visitor center, and you’ll peel back 10 centuries in the 20 minutes it takes you to reach the Major Oak.\n\n\n“You got a sense its life force was receding, it was on its way out,” says Andrews, who became a faithful friend to the tree over the decades. “But that’s part of life, isn’t it? Even in death it’s still giving life to the forest, and its story is still unfolding.”\n\n\nThe tree’s story is indelibly linked to that of Robin Hood. The outlaw who stole from the rich and gave to the poor has, over the centuries, launched a thousand legends.\n\n\nThe lure of the bad boy\n\n\n\nThe name “Robin Hood” first entered the public consciousness in late medieval England, says Allen W. Wright, who set up the Robin Hood website Bold Outlaw in 1997.\n\n\nIn “Piers Plowman,” a poem from the 1370s, a character mentions that he doesn’t know the Lord’s Prayer — but he does know some poems about Robin Hood.It’s a handy literary device to out this guy as a bad seed: not just irreligious, but also a fan of bandits. The Robin Hood alluded to here is certainly not the force for good that Andrews — who inhabits the character in Nottingham today — believes him to be.\n\n\n“He has a disreputable reputation from the first literary reference,” says Wright, of Robin. But does that mean he was real?\n\n\nThere are a few traces of a possible Robin in real life — and they emerge before that first literary cameo, suggesting that perhaps that Piers Plowman reference wasn’t pure fiction. In 1262, a “William Robehod” was tried for larceny in Reading, a city west of London and around 120 miles south of Nottingham.\n\n\nMore people with “Robynhod” as a surname are mentioned in the 1200s — a rare surname, according to historian David Crook, which potentially suggests a historical link. “It points to knowledge of the legend 100 years before we get a clear reference in stories or rhymes,” says Wright of these early references.\n\n\nHe appears in historical texts as well as fictional ballads. In a 1420 text that dates him to the 1280s, Robin gets a mention as an outlaw who lived with Little John in Barnsdale, in the northern English region of Yorkshire and around 60 miles north of Nottingham. Forty years later, he’s described in another history book, the “Scotichronicon,”as a “famous cut-throat” who lived in 1266.So far, so unattractive.\n\n\nAnd yet — call it the lure of the bad boy — by the second half of the 1400s, ballads started appearing throughout England that romanticized Robin Hood. By now, he was still an outlaw but he was no longer a cut-throat. In fact, he was a yeoman — somewhere between a peasant and a nobleman.\n\n\nIn “A Lytell Geste of Robyn Hode,” a ballad written in Middle English around 1450 (also known as “A Gest of Robyn Hode), his storyline was laid out, including the origins of his outlawdom (shooting some of the king’s servants during an archery contest), the introduction of his Merry Men, and his death at the hands of a scheming nun. The ballad asks that he may rest in peace, “for he was a good outlaw.”\n\n\n“This was populist entertainment,” says Wright.\n\n\nThe legend took off from here. From the late 15th century, Robin Hood became a popular figure to dress up as at village fairs and festivals. Robin Hood ballads became a fixture of spring and May Day festivities, says Tom Hahn, emeritus professor in English literature at the University of Rochester, and a founder of the International Association of Robin Hood Studies. His university is also the home of the Robin Hood Project, a database of ancient Robin Hood texts.\n\n\nIn the 1500s, one appalled bishop wrote that he had found a church door locked on a feast day in one of his parishes, because the inhabitants were all off celebrating “Robin Hood’s day.” In 1510, even King Henry VIII dressed up as Robin Hood to surprise his wife.It was a sign that the legend was moving into the upper classes. Robin was suddenly the subject of plays — but even though he became entertainment for literate folk, his appeal remained broad.\n\n\n“By the later 17th century you get collections put together very cheaply and sold for a small price — a whole array of ballads often starting with him [becoming an] outlaw and ending with his death,” says Hahn. “It continues through the 18th and 19th century.”\n\n\nWith so many references over so long a time span, surely this points toward someone who really existed?\n\n\n“Nobody’s quite sure if Robin Hood is real … unless they have a book to sell,” says Wright, who thinks the figure “maybe” has roots in a real person.\n\n\nA medieval gangster\n\n\n\nIf there was a real Robin Hood, however, he may have lived far from Sherwood Forest. Wright’s best guess as to who the real Robin might have been — “the best shot in the gloaming” as he puts it — is one “Roberd Hood,” a 1220s outlaw from Yorkshire. He makes a cameo in the records as an “outlaw” across several years, says Wright, and since this is before the ballads started, it can’t be someone copying Robin’s name. “It’s still very circumstantial,” he says of Roberd Hood’s claim to fame. “But it’s better than the other candidates.”\n\n\nAs for how the story was transposed around 70 miles south to Nottingham, Wright says that a 13th-century sheriff of York had previously been the deputy sheriff of Nottingham, which could explain some confusion.\n\n\nMore importantly, the early versions of the legend suggest that Robin indeed started farther north — Barnsdale, to be precise, an area of South Yorkshire which also had a forest — and then migrated south to Nottingham.\n\n\nIf Roberd Hood is our guy, he doesn’t sound particularly nice. Hahn says the legends contained “an emphasis on violence — sometimes unprovoked.”\n\n\nBut as anyone who’s watched a Hollywood movie will know, not all baddies are viewed the same.\n\n\n“It’s a bit like the Westerns starting in 19th century America. There’s a definite sense of being an outlaw in a lawless [society],” says Hahn. Over time, the legend was softened — perhaps due to a growing cynicism of ordinary folk. By the time Henry VIII was dressing up, there was the idea of Robin as a hero “in the same way that Western [stars] or gangsters can be heroes,” says Wright.\n\n\n“It helps that the people he’s against are more crooked than him — the sheriff doesn’t keep his word, but the outlaw does. The legend thrives on the irony that he’s still more honorable than the people supposed to be good.”\n\n\nIn the same way, romance was never on the cards for Robin initially. “It was a real ‘guys with guys’ story from the earliest times,” says Hahn. But as Robin and his Merry Men morphed from cut-throats to lovable rogues, space was made for a love interest: Maid Marian, who appeared around the 18th century.\n\n\nMaking Robin great again\n\n\n\nWhile Robin was always an English folk hero, it was, says Hahn, an American who turned Robin Hood into the global figure he is today. In 1883, US author and illustrator Howard Pyle published “The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood of Great Renown in Nottinghamshire.”\n\n\nThis was no cheap ballad; it was a lavish book published by Scribner’s, in which Pyle had remixed the content of the poems into a family-friendly novel. The book met with “immediate success,” says Hahn, who adds that it “Americanized” the legend. It also sanitized it: “It made Robin Hood into a nice guy.”\n\n\nPyle’s book was followed in 1922 by a silent movie, in which the role of Robin was played by Douglas Fairbanks (who humbly titled the film, “Douglas Fairbanks in Robin Hood”). It was the first motion picture in history to receive a Hollywood premiere.\n\n\nFrom there, the movie industry took the legend and ran. In 1938, Errol Flynn donned his famous tights. In 1976, Sean Connery played an aging Robin Hood to Audrey Hepburn’s Maid Marian in “Robin and Marian.” In 1991, Kevin Costner played Robin, while Bryan Adams’ theme song “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You” set the world alight. It spent 16 consecutive weeks at number one on the UK’s singles chart, a feat that has yet to be equalled.\n\n\nIn 2010 it was the turn of Russell Crowe, directed by Ridley Scott. Meanwhile, Hollywood’s finest women including Naomie Harris, Cate Blanchett, Uma Thurman and, in the 2026 film, Jodie Comer, have acted alongside the Robins. And who can forget the 1973 Disney version, featuring the late, great Peter Ustinov as the voice of both Kings John and Richard, plus Robin as a fox voiced by Brian Bedford?\n\n\nToday, Robin has permeated modern culture. Type in “Robin Hood” on IMDB and you’ll find literally dozens of movies about the lovable rogue who stole from the rich to give to the poor.Even some supporters of Luigi Mangione, the alleged killer of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, presented him as a Robin Hood character.\n\n\nIt’s no surprise. “The film industry has made Robin Hood an international pop culture subject,” says Hahn.\n\n\nThe different iterations of Robin also teach us about our own cultures, he says. Until the 20th century, Robin was a subject for men. But then, women started writing Robin Hood novels. It’s not just the Maid Marian romance or the idea of a cross-dressing Marian holding her own with the boys, he says; that idea we have of fraternal bonding between the Merry Men? Hahn says that’s a factor of the female authors, “presenting new looks of female bonding.”\n\n\nIn Sherwood Forest\n\n\n\nWhile Robin’s reality may be in question, there’s no shortage of Robin-themed places to see in Nottingham.\n\n\nTwenty miles north of the city, Sherwood Forest has one of the largest concentrations of “ancient oaks”— the term given to trees once they reach 400 years old — in Western Europe. Forget outlaws sheltering in the trunks; each can house thousands of species of insects, fungi, birds and mammals, and act as “miniature cities,” according to the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds charity, which manages the site as a nature reserve.\n\n\nThe Major Oak will be left in situ to gradually break down in a years-long process. “It’ll take a few decades to degrade which will be remarkable — watching the ‘king of kings’ dwindle away,” says Andrews. “The smaller branches will break off as climate change brings heavier rains. The bigger branches will remain longer. As it degrades, it’ll be a living piece of art in the landscape with a massive story to tell.”\n\n\nWhile the Major Oak has succumbed to the passing of the years, its 400-odd compatriots are still going strong — and are just as atmospheric, says Andrews. One, the Parliament Oak, is also thought to be around 1,000 years old, and gets its name from its use as an impromptu site for parliament gatherings in the 13th century.\n\n\nYou might also spy Andrews on one of his tours. He’s hard to miss. Dressed in battered leather trousers, a jerkin and a bycocket hat, brandishing a sword and longbow and giving the occasional blast of his horn, he thinks of himself as a modern-day troubadour keeping those medieval ballads of Robin Hood alive. He calls himself a “manifestation of Robin Hood,” bringing a message of charity and goodwill to today’s turbulent times.\n\n\nAndrews’ tours of Nottingham tell the story of the city through the legends of Robin Hood. It takes some telling. Although Nottingham has a long history, in Andrews’ words, it’s a “modern city” with some questionable 1960s development. Finding Robin here means looking beyond the modern urban layout.\n\n\nHis tours take in St. Mary’s Church — today surrounded by Victorian warehouses but a location visited by Robin, according to the medieval ballad “Robin Hood and the Monk.”\n\n\nHe shows visitors the National Justice Museum, housed in a late 18th-century building built on a site that was founded by the Normans when they first colonized England, and Nottingham Castle — actually a 17th-century palace, though it is built on the site of “one of the mightiest castles in the land in medieval England.”\n\n\nAnd since conjuring up medieval Nottingham can be taxing, Andrews ends the tour at what’s said to be England’s oldest pub, Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, which has been brewing pints since 1189.By blending Nottingham’s history with the legend, he says, “people are surprised by the beauty of the city.”\n\n\nAndrews — who calls Robin a “figure for good”— sees Robin through a spiritual lens. He believes that the character was “willed into being by people in early medieval England,” and he thinks that Robin’s story is still doing good today. His tours, he says, help visitors “find the spirit of Robin Hood in ourselves. The magic of Robin really lies in the inner psyche.”\n\n\nPeople from all over the world trek to Nottingham to follow in Robin’s footsteps, but there are other sites for Robin Hood pilgrims, too. For a start, you can visit Barnsdale, where you’ll find “Robin Hood’s well” as well as other Yorkshire places mentioned in the ballads, like Sayles Plantation, Wentbridge and Doncaster.\n\n\nBut you don’t even have to go to England. Wherever you are in the world, Robin Hood is omnipresent.\n\n\n“You can’t really get through life without encountering Robin Hood someplace,” says Hahn, who equates the legend to “The Simpsons” as an English-language “cultural landmark.”\n\n\nFor Andrews, this cultural landmark is a force for good.\n\n\n“Robin Hood was the first superhero,” he says. “And the world needs heroes.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

He was tall enough that his nose could graze a treat bag on someone’s waist; his once oversized paws now fit his large-breed heritage.\n\n\nIn June of last year, Miko’s owner, Alexander Kostyukevich, sought training for the young dog from someone he’d found on Instagram. He decided to use Happy K9 Academy after a successful session with the owner, Kwong Chun Sit, also known as Tony.\n\n\nBut just days after leaving his dog in Sit’s care, Kostyukevich got a text message that would devastate any pet owner: Miko was dead. \n\n\nThe mysterious death of the young, healthy dog in Southern California would eventually lead investigators on a morbid and disturbing journey to crematories, pet disposal services and a cargo van that reeked of bleach and feces as they continued to uncover more deaths.\n\n\nSit, 54, and his girlfriend, Tingfeng Liu, 24, were convicted last week – Sit on multiple counts of felony animal cruelty and other charges related to the deaths of nearly a dozen dogs, and Liu on several charges related to her help in carrying out the cremations. Prosecutors with the Orange County District Attorney’s Office said Sit left the dogs in small crates in the back of a hot van, where they died of heatstroke, and then pretended to be their owners so he could get them cremated.\n\n\nThe couple is set to face punishment for the horrific deaths during sentencing on July 10. Sit could be sentenced to almost 14 years in prison, while Liu could be sentenced to four years, according to the district attorney.\n\n\nWhile the families will see justice served in court, they still have to live without their beloved dogs – and live with the reality of how they died.\n\n\nThe last remnants of these pets’ short lives remain on the internet in the training videos sent to families featured on YouTube: friendly dogs, big and small, with pants that mimic a smile, as they abided by the guidance of a man who was supposed to be their caretaker.\n\n\nAn unimaginable text message leads an owner to call police\n\n\n\nThe dogs Kostyukevich saw on Happy K9 Academy’s Instagram page seemed happy and obedient. When he got a text from Sit on June 18, 2025, just three days after he left Miko in Sit’s care, it was a shock:\n\n\nI’m so sorry to let you know that Miko passed away peacefully during the night while resting. There were no signs of pain or struggle, and it was truly unexpected. I am deeply saddened by this loss.\n\n\nOut of respect, I will refund the full training fee and offer additional compensation. The body has been lovingly cremated, and I will keep the ashes safe for you until you’re ready.\n\n\nPlease know my thoughts are with you. If you need anything, I’m here for you.\n\n\nThe message was surprising coming from a trainer who had gained business from word of mouth. Sit’s company had more than 40 five-star Google reviews over his six years of business, with reviewers making comments such as “couldn’t be happier,” “truly cares for the dogs he trains” and “He never disappoints.”\n\n\nKostyukevich called Sit to get information on what happened, according to a court document outlining what information would be addressed at trial, known as a trial brief. His immediate concern was that Sit had sold Miko, the document said. But Sit hung up on him, and Kostyukevich decided to call Irvine police.\n\n\n1 unusual death leads to the discovery of 10 more\n\n\n\nCasey Pickett, an animal services officer for the Irvine Police Department, began investigating. She called Sit and found out another dog in his care, Ziggy, was also dead. They had been picked up by a service called Mobile Pet Cremations, Pickett learned, which paused their cremation once they heard from law enforcement.\n\n\nHowever, an employee of the crematory informed Pickett that not only did they have Miko and Ziggy, but they had also picked up another dog from Sit just the week before. And that wasn’t all: The employee said they’d spoken to another pet cremation business and discovered Sit had dropped off another two dogs there — which now meant five dogs were dead.\n\n\nAfter learning of the numerous dogs dropped off across the various services, Pickett went to Sit’s home in the suburbs of Orange County, according to the trial brief. Sit told her only two dogs had died in their sleep overnight and he was “just so sad.”\n\n\nPickett then asked about two other dogs who had been sent to cremation services. Sit then acknowledged it was four dogs who died.\n\n\n“Sit stated that he went to sleep for the night and woke up this morning to discover that all 4 dogs had died,” the trial brief said. He used two different services, he told police, “because of the expensive cost of paying for cremation services,” the trial brief said.\n\n\nAfter the investigation was complete, authorities found out the couple had retained cremation or disposal services for a total of 11 dogs across four different businesses.\n\n\nSit would later be convicted of 19 charges: 11 felony counts of animal cruelty, seven misdemeanor counts of attempting to destroy evidence and one misdemeanor count of destroying evidence.\n\n\nWhat led to the deaths of all the dogs was “a tragedy and has left many dog owners with sadness and anger,” Sit’s attorney Kate Corrigan said in a statement. She added her client is “a long time dog trainer,” and testimony during the trial showed his history and ability in training dogs.\n\n\n“The deaths of the dogs was unexpected and not the result of intentional acts by my client,” she said.\n\n\nAs police discover remains, search of Sit’s home reveals concerning situation\n\n\n\nWhile one of the dogs was already cremated by the time the deaths were discovered, many of the owners and services were able to pause the cremations. One woman scheduled a viewing to say goodbye to her almost-3-year-old pit bull, his muscular, auburn body now lifeless. He was supposed to come home that day after three weeks of training.\n\n\nA veterinarian was able to examine the remaining dogs and determined eight died of hyperthermia and heatstroke, and one died of “blunt force trauma to the head with acute spinal injury and spiral fracture to the leg,” the trial brief said.\n\n\nWhile Pickett was initially at Sit’s home, she got permission to see Sit’s black Mercedes cargo van. She reported the overwhelming odor of “bleach mixed with the strong smell of feces,” the trial brief said.\n\n\nPolice came back the next day with a search warrant for his home and cars, where they found nine crates left loose in the back of the van and a portable air conditioner venting air through the side of the vehicle, the trial brief said. A bottle of bleach was found on the passenger-side floorboard.\n\n\nAs an investigator was at Sit’s apartment, a report came in about another dog that died, adding up into a seemingly impossible number for a business that, until this point, had received few complaints.\n\n\nLiu, Sit’s girlfriend, helped in getting the dogs to the crematories, according to prosecutors. During a search of Liu’s Tesla, investigators found a trash bag, which contained a pink dog collar with the name “Luna,” according to the trial brief. They also found a receipt from an animal disposal company that read “1 DOG DROP OFF PAID $160.00.”\n\n\nLiu was convicted on one felony count of accessory to a felony, one misdemeanor count of destruction of evidence and two misdemeanor counts of attempted destruction of evidence.\n\n\nLiu’s attorney argued “she was not the decision-maker in this case.” Frederick Fascenelli said they felt there was reasonable doubt left in the prosecution’s argument as to whether she knew a felony had been committed, and whether she tried to help Sit avoid arrest.\n\n\n“The evidence demonstrated that she was a young woman, in an unfamiliar country, far removed from the authority and control exercised by Mr. Sit, and that many of the actions attributed to her were performed at the direction of others rather than as part of any independent criminal plan,” Fascenelli said in a statement.\n\n\nAlthough they were disappointed with the verdict, they respect the jury’s decision and are reviewing their options following the trial, he said.\n\n\nA trusted dog trainer ultimately betrayed his clients\n\n\n\nWhile Happy K9 Academy’s social media featured dogs following commands and clients applauding their work, the investigation by authorities showed a darker side to the company’s business practices.\n\n\nIn May 2025, a client took her 4-year-old Belgian Malinois named Max to Happy K9 Academy for three weeks of training, the trial brief said. Everything appeared to be going normally, and she received regular video updates of her pup.\n\n\nBut six days in, Sit messaged her that Max had a bloody wound on his leg. She decided to take him to the vet, but when she picked him up, she noticed Max was in the back of the van in a crate so small, he was unable to fully stand, the trial brief said. Max also smelled awful, could barely walk and had about nine to 10 wounds on his body, according to the document.\n\n\nSeveral years earlier, in 2021, another client sent her two Malti-poos, Capo and Tropez, for a four-week training, the trial brief said.\n\n\nThe updates she received regularly at the beginning started to dwindle. When she requested a photo of the dogs, Sit sent one showing them in a small crate with no blanket or water. She decided she wanted to stop the training and pick them up. Inside Sit’s van, she saw “the entire van filled with dog crates stacked on top of each other,” with dogs panting heavily and no access to water, the trial brief said.\n\n\nWhile Sit’s attorney argues the deaths were not the result of intentional acts, prosecutors in the trial brief said he knew what he was doing by storing the dogs in the back of a hot van, “knew his actions were negligent, and simply did not care.”\n\n\nTheir Yelp page holds its spot in online search results, but now reads “CLOSED – Updated June 2026.”\n\n\nWhile the Google reviews hold the memories of past clients sharing the triumphs of training, one review, written about a year ago, is a stark reminder of what happened:\n\n\n“my 8 month old puppy died while under the care of Tony Sit and ‘Happy K9 Academy’. She was 100% healthy and now, 5 days into her training, she is gone — along with a second boarded dog who mysteriously died the same night. PLEASE BEWARE.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

But, rather than celebrating the park in its current form, I often hear people talk about what Ascarate Park “could” be or “should” be, and that it could become the Borderland’s crown jewel with just enough investment. \n\n\n\nAnd now, the county has funding of over $30 million in hand that voters approved in a bond election back in November 2024. So, county officials are moving forward with renovating the park in a major way. \n\n\n\nThe county hired a local architecture firm last year for $4.2 million called Exigo, which last week showed county commissioners early concepts of new projects at the park, including a visitor center, a field and concert venue, a renovated walking trail, new picnic shelters and bathrooms, and maybe most importantly, a series of small projects to improve the water quality and fishing experience at Ascarate Lake. \n\n\n\nConstruction at the park is slated to start in spring 2027 and run through 2029. But, despite the multi-year timeline, I wanted to talk through the projects that voters liked enough to fund with property tax-supported debt a year-and-a-half-ago. El Paso Matters assistant editor Pablo Villa will join me in just a moment to talk about the future of Ascarate Park. \n\n\n\nBut first, this El Paso Matters podcast episode is brought to you by our podcast title sponsor, Tawney, Acosta and Chaparro, truck crash and injury attorneys. Their team of local, seasoned trial attorneys are ready to help if you’ve been injured in a crash. \n\n\n\nAnd you can read our free reporting or sign up for our newsletter at elpasomatters.org. \n\n\n\nPablo, thanks for hosting today. \n\n\n\nPablo Villa: Diego, thank you for having me. It’s nice to be in the host chair once again, talking about something that’s very meaningful to the rest of El Paso, Ascarate Park, today. A place that’s coming up on its 90th birthday, right, about 86-years-old now. And a place that’s just always been influenced by external factors, right? I mean, even from its inception, that area of El Paso was always at the mercy of nature before the International Boundary and Water Commission channeled the river, right? \n\n\n\nSo, it’s just a place that’s continually evolved, right? I think every generation, it’s meant something different to them. We talked a little bit about it before the show. What are some of your early memories of Ascarate out at the park? \n\n\n\nA rendering Exigo Architecture shared with El Paso County Commissioners Court showing a new vehicle entrance at Ascarate Park. (Courtesy Exigo)\n\n\n\nDiego: Yeah, I mean, I’m a Westsider, but I’ve spent some time there fishing a little bit when I was a kid. And, really, I heard a lot of stories from older people, like my dad or dad’s friends about, like, ripping boats out in the middle of the lake back in the day, which I don’t think you can do anymore. \n\n\n\nBut, yeah, I think it’s kind of a park that holds a lot of value and a lot of memories to a lot of people of many generations in El Paso. So, certainly a key part of the city, for sure. \n\n\n\nPablo: And I have a few years on you, not too many, right? But I certainly grew up at a time when Western Playland was there, had a lot of fun with that and company barbecues and things like that with my parents. But I know many years before that, there was actually a racetrack that existed at Ascarate Park, right? \n\n\n\nSo, again, it’s just a place that’s meant many things to many people and it’s changed a lot over the years. And it sounds like that’s going to continue, right? So, I know, as you mentioned, at the jump of the podcast, there’s some money that the county has at its disposal to try to prepare it for the next generation, right? \n\n\n\nSo, can you sort of set the scene for us? Where are we right now with Ascarate Park? What are some of the funding mechanisms in place? And just give us a good picture of what’s coming. \n\n\n\nA rendering Exigo Architecture shared with El Paso County Commissioners Court showing a new walking trail at Ascarate Park. (Courtesy Exigo)\n\n\n\nDiego: First off, I always appreciate the history lessons, Pablo, that you always school me on when it comes to El Paso lore. \n\n\n\nAnd, yeah, I think that’s a good way to put it. Like, the county, I think, is looking at this as the next step of Ascarate and sort of the next generation of the park, if you will. And just to go back, I mean, it’s felt longer than a year-and-a-half, almost, since November 2024. But voters approved $95 million in a bond item for the county for county parks, of which about $31 million of that $95 million was dedicated for Ascarate Park. \n\n\n\nAnd voters might remember they rejected multiple other items, I think, for, like, a new county courthouse annex and for renovations at the (El Paso County) Coliseum. However, voters thought enough of Ascarate Park and the county-owned parks to go ahead and say, “Hey, yes, county, you can issue some debt to renovate these.” \n\n\n\nAnd again, that was back in November 2024, $31 million for Ascarate. And I just have to kind of differentiate, because some of the work we’ll talk about at Ascarate really involves kind of the biology and ecology of the park and improving the water quality and fishing. And, so, those aren’t funded by the bond projects and from the bond proceeds voters approved. But there was some separate non-voter-approved debt that the county’s issued a couple of times over the last few years that set aside like about $13 million in funding for the, maybe, less sexy projects, right? Kind of more focused on, like I said, improving water quality and oxygen levels in the lake and things like that, which we’ll talk more about. \n\n\n\nBut that’s kind of where we’re at and how we got to this point now, where, last week, this firm the county hired, Exigo, said, “We’re ready to show you guys sort of the conceptual ideas we put together” for some of the projects I mentioned at the top: a new walking trail – if you go on the walking trail now, I enjoy going to Ascarate Park, but certainly there’s, you see the wall lining the lake is caving in, there’s potholes on the walking trail. It’s not in the best condition. Still heavily-used, right? But, I think that there’s clearly some repairs that need to be made. \n\n\n\nThe rock wall surrounding Ascarate Lake has collapsed in numerous location. Henry Aguilar, the founder of an Ascarate fishing group, said the county should focus on addressing repairs throughout the lake. (Diego Mendoza-Moyers / El Paso Matters) \n\n\n\nAnd then, also, we have had the issue of the fish kills at the lake, right? Where multiple times over the last decade – I don’t remember the number off the top of my head, I want to say, like, seven or eight different times – there’s been these events where hundreds of fish will die because of these golden algae blooms at the lake where the oxygen levels get really low and the fish essentially get choked off. And, so, that’s pretty unpleasant for people to go to the lake and find all these dead fish. \n\n\n\nSo, there’s just the issues at the park that I think the county has known about for many years. David Stout, the county commissioner who represents Ascarate Lake, has said, since he entered office in 2015, that was one of his top priorities. And, so, it’s just been something the county’s known about for a while. And now they’re really moving forward with, like I said, about $31 million for some of these entertainment-oriented projects at Ascarate, about $13 million for kind of biology-oriented projects involving Ascarate Lake. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPablo: Great. You gave us a lot of good information on that, Diego, but I know last week you sat through a county meeting where the conversation ostensibly was about a duck pond, right? But that’s not all that was discussed. Can you kind of take us through that meeting, what some of the, what that presentation sort of entailed? And what county commissioners and county officials see as the Ascarate of the future? \n\n\n\nDiego: Yeah. So, for me, it was the first time that I’ve seen these specific projects that will be funded by the bond that voters approved back in 2024. First time I’ve seen the projects really envisioned and discussed in detail. And, so, like I mentioned, some of the stuff involves, like, a new visitor center, which I believe would replace the current – it’s sort of like a snack bar, right? That building that you first (see) when you park at Ascarate Lake and you walk up to the, there’s kind of a boat launch there. They want to replace the current building with a new visitor center. Very cool and fancy, maybe have an exhibit of the history of the park and lake and things like that. So, it’d be a new visitor center. \n\n\n\nAnd, then, kind of elsewhere in the park, you mentioned how there used to be Western Playland, right? And these places with barbecues and things like that. Obviously, since Western Playland moved, part of the park is maybe a little underutilized. And, so, they want to use some of that land to build a new concert venue and fields that I think could be utilized for, obviously, a concert and festival and so forth, but also for sports and recreation and things like that. So, that would be one part of it. \n\n\n\nAnother part of it is a new walking trail. I think if you go to the park now, sometimes the walking trail can kind of abut – like, there’s roadways and people are kind of concerned about, “Oh, I’m walking on the road and people are speeding through here.” And, so, it’s like, let’s set up a better walking trail, give it a little more space with the roadway, add some more vegetation and trees. That’s a big part. “We want to plant a bunch of trees at the park, but really improve the walking trail.” Like I said, there’s potholes and you’ll find cones along the walking trail to sort of warn people of pitfalls and things like that. \n\n\n\nSo, really, “Hey, let’s improve the walking trail. Let’s add these new amenities. Let’s do things like that.” And again, those are all voted by voters and approved by voters. And there’s some other more basic things like improving the electrical work, add more lighting, things like that, kind of for safety. \n\n\n\nAnd then there’s also these other projects that were discussed in detail involving the water quality and the fishing at the lake, which I think a lot of people really care about. And I’ll just add a little bit more history. Separate from the 2024 bond that voters approved, about three years ago, the county floated this idea: Why don’t we dredge Ascarate Lake, get rid of all this sediment that has essentially collected at the lake since it opened 80-plus years ago, like you said? Nobody had ever dredged it before. \n\n\n\nSo, there was kind of all this sediment that had piled up. And that sediment creates a source of nutrients that feed the algae blooms that lead to those fish kills that I mentioned that are really unpleasant events, that have made it so that Texas Parks and Wildlife sort of stocks the lake with fish. They kind of get caught or die off and just kind of repeat the cycle. It’s not a sustainable ecosystem, per se. \n\n\n\nAnd, so, the idea was, “Hey, let’s dredge the lake. Let’s make it deeper. Let’s make it better for fishing,” right? And, so, that was a really long process. The county was talking about putting millions of dollars into that. And I was following that closely. Again, it was, like, 2023. And I got lots of feedback from people: “This is great. We’re going to make the lake deeper. We’re going to make it healthier.” All these things, but better for fishing. \n\n\n\nAnd then, the county paid a different consultant to do that study, take a look at it. And kind of one surprising thing about that was, like, the county didn’t know how deep the lake was. They thought it was like 10, 12 feet deep. And come to find out it was, like, 4, 5, 6, 7 feet deep, depending on the location. \n\n\n\nI just thought that was kind of funny. You think this lake that’s existed for so long, we know everything about it. But it seems like there were kind of some questions about how really deep is it? And what’s the condition of the liner at the bottom and blah, blah, blah. Like, all these little details about the lake that I think nobody had really thought about in a long time. \n\n\n\nAnd, so, anyways, it came to where, “All right, are we going to dredge this lake or not?” And the county said after a year of studying it, about two years ago, it said, “Maybe not worth the funding, probably going to cost more than we thought. Let’s go ahead and get off of this dredging idea and see what else we can do to make the lake healthier for fish.”\n\n\n\nAnd, again, another part too is you want reproducing fish because they get bigger, right? Like, who doesn’t want to catch a bigger fish? So, what the county is doing now, (it) scrapped this idea of dredging the lake and kind of making it deeper and all this stuff. What they want to do now that’s kind of interesting, that’s part of these projects we’re talking about going forward, is they’re going to add new water circulators and aerators to kind of get the water moving and get the oxygen circulating throughout the lake. \n\n\n\nBut something kind of interesting, they want to add a layer of vegetation around the lake edge so that there’s like reeds sticking out of the water and kind of like a wetlands atmosphere, right, or a wetlands environment. And that’s important because that kind of blocks stuff from getting in the water, from running off into the lake. And it also gives fish a place to go. It’s kind of like a little home for them, right? They can go in the reed, they can hide from predators and they can give birth to other fish and have the fish kind of grow in there and have a little bit of a refuge. \n\n\n\nAnd, so, the hope is that will create a cycle of reproduction and kind of a sustainable source of fish that grow larger and provide better fishing. And also makes it so that the lake isn’t – you can kind of see through it better, right? It looks like it’s a little cleaner, it’s a little nicer. And I’ll just say this is something that UTEP actually studied six, seven years ago. They did a study on, like, what would reduce these algae blooms? And they found planting, kind of, reed-like plants in the water actually reduces the nitrates and reduces the conditions that allow for the algae blooms. \n\n\n\nAll very boring, nerdy science stuff, right? But the bottom line is, “Hey, if we can reduce or minimize these algae blooms that get really toxic, then we can improve the fishing.” \n\n\n\nAnd just last thing here, part of this, you alluded at the beginning to the duck pond. Just last thing I’ll say to this question is the duck pond is – I think a lot of people like going there and feeding the ducks, which you’re not supposed to do, right? Because there’s plenty of naturally-occurring food for the ducks. \n\n\n\nThe plan for the renovation of Ascarate Lake is to drain and excavate the lake, and stock the nearby duck pond that’s shown here with fish while the main lake is closed. (Diego Mendoza-Moyers / El Paso Matters) \n\n\n\nAnd the duck pond has become kind of a gross pool of water, right? Like, not only are there all these ducks that are showing up and a lot of fecal matter and things like that, but also people are feeding the ducks, like, hot dogs and bird seed and things like that. Which then provides a source of nutrients in the duck pond adjacent to the actual lake. And, so, the levels of golden algae blooms in the duck pond are extremely high, super toxic. \n\n\n\nAnd, so, it’s kind of a sad thing, I think, for some people. Because it’s kind of a cool little thing. Hey, take the kids, feed the ducks. The county really doesn’t want you doing that. And, so, that’s why one thing they’re saying, “Look, this isn’t a natural ecosystem. It’s kind of just a little amenity that’s been there since the ’60s. We think we can make better use of the duck pond.” So, that’s why the county is planning on essentially getting rid of that and doing something else with that space. \n\n\n\nPablo: Yeah, good information, Diego. There’s probably people out there who aren’t going to stand for your hate on hot dogs, though, right? Given that Fourth of July is coming up. \n\n\n\nDiego: Look, man, I love a glizzy, but I don’t think that it’s the best thing to feed to the ducks over there. \n\n\n\nPablo: Yeah, no, good information. I know you’ve gleaned that from all the meetings that you’ve attended and all the county officials you’ve spoken to, but I also know that you spend a lot of time out at the park just talking to visitors, to residents, to people who frequent the park. From those conversations, what can you tell us about what residents think about Ascarate Park and what they want it to become? \n\n\n\nDiego: Yeah, so I mean, like I said, I’ve been following this since 2023, at least, when I first heard about, “Hey, let’s dredge the lake” and stuff. And, so, I started really following this closely, going out to Ascarate periodically just to chat with people and just kind of see their thoughts on, like, “What do you think the park needs?” and things like that. \n\n\n\nAnd my number one takeaway – and I’m sure this isn’t, like, a surprise – but I’ll go there anytime of the year, anytime of day. People are always there at Ascarate. There’s always people fishing. There’s always people hanging out, walking, whatever, like heavily-used park. \n\n\n\nThe plan for the renovation of Ascarate Lake is to drain and excavate the lake, and stock the nearby duck pond that’s shown here with fish while the main lake is closed. (Diego Mendoza-Moyers / El Paso Matters) \n\n\n\nAnd, so, number one, I think it’s important to recognize like – I think, sometimes, we can have kind of this funny image of Ascarate Park in our heads of, like, you’ve got this refinery in the background. It’s kind of the scene, right? And some jokes of, like, are bodies in the lake? Or whatever, right? Like just kind of these urban legend things that I don’t think are true. But just this idea, it’s not the most luxurious place in the world. \n\n\n\nBut even as we can have that idea in our heads, the fact is people use this lake all the time. It’s a great community resource. And, so, by and large, I don’t think this is a controversial thing, unlike many other things in El Paso, I think people are generally united on, like, “Yeah, let’s put some money in Ascarate, let’s go ahead and make this better, do what we can to use this space that has existed for so long.” We haven’t even mentioned the golf course, right? People love golfing there too. Not that these funds will really go too much to the golf course, but the point is, like, heavily used park. \n\n\n\nAnd I think people are just on board, like, “Yeah, let’s do this.” And when I talk to fishermen especially, they’re just like, “Man, let’s have bigger fish in here and let’s have it so that when I show up here, they’re not dead,” you know? And, so, that’s really what you hear, but heavily-used. “Hey man, anything you can do to put some money in this and make it a better resource for children and so forth, that’s what we want.” \n\n\n\nSo, it’s kind of interesting how non-controversial it is. Like, “yeah, let’s make this a better place.” \n\n\n\nAnglers cast out onto Ascarate Lake on October 22, 2024. El Paso County is eyeing a multimillion project to drain Ascarate Lake, make the body of water deeper and install a new plastic liner for the bottom of the lake. The goal is to clean the lake up and minimize algae blooms that periodically kill hundreds of fish at Ascarate. (Diego Mendoza-Moyers / El Paso Matters)  \n\n\n\nPablo: Yeah, it is kind of cool to see that it is a shared vision, not just from county leaders, but also from residents, right? I mean, me myself, on a personal level, I enjoy going down there to see boxing matches. Fireworks shows used to be great down there for Fourth of July, since we’re in Fourth of July season right now. The Christmas lights that are out there, just all manner of great things. You mentioned the golf course. There’s also a pool out there. So, just, it’s a really great place, right? And it could be significantly better. \n\n\n\nSo, it’s cool to see that there’s conversations happening. I don’t know where they’re going to go, but we’ll see. And, so, with that, I know public engagement has been a big part of this issue or a big part of this process. Based on what you’ve learned, do residents feel heard in this process and what are county officials doing to improve that? \n\n\n\nDiego: Of course, I could always talk to more people and will talk to more people. So, I don’t want to make it seem like I’ve done a scientific poll. But by and large, I think that the county is being fairly responsive. They’re meeting with the fishing groups. They’re meeting with people that like to use Ascarate Park to run at and do kind of like athletic things. They’re meeting with just sort of anybody involved in the neighborhood. \n\n\n\nA man swings a golf club at the Ascarate Golf Course on July 26. (Elizabeth Cervantes/El Paso Matters)\n\n\n\nSo, in my mind, the county has sought out the stakeholders for Ascarate, whether people who live nearby or frequent the park for different things. And, so, I feel like the county is trying to be fairly responsive. I think the idea of removing the duck ponds is a little bit controversial. \n\n\n\nI think the fishing groups, what I’ve heard, particularly the – shout out to the Make Ascarate Great Again fishing group that I’ve talked to. I think they’re kind of worried that, if the duck pond is closed, if there’s an algae bloom at the main lake, typically the county will stock the small lake so that while they kind of try to remediate and take care of the golden algae bloom in the big lake, people can still fish at the small lake. So, I think there’s kind of a concern, “Hey, our backup option for fishing will be gone.” \n\n\n\nSo, it’s a little bit controversial, but I think the county’s saying, “Look, this small lake is kind of getting hard to manage, hard to keep clean, hard to even sustain fish at all. And, so, we can make better use of this space and then also take these measures at Ascarate Lake, at the big lake, to prevent those golden algae blooms to the extent possible.” \n\n\n\nA fisherman prepares to release his catch into the lake at Ascarate Park on Nov. 13. (Corrie Boudreaux/El Paso Matters)\n\n\n\nI mean, golden algae is an issue in the Southwest generally, in West Texas. Like, it’s just something that happens at lakes, usually over winter. \n\n\n\nAnd, so, it’s kind of hard to eradicate. But I think the county’s saying, “Look, we can kind of mitigate the issue with the main lake so that we don’t have to worry about whether the small lake can be a backup option or not.” So, that’s been like one of the few controversies. \n\n\n\nThe other thing I’ve heard too from people is like, “Hey, county, make sure you’re also focused on signage for vehicles so they’re going the right way and traffic isn’t dangerous.” Things like that. But, like I said, by and large, I think it’s more positive. “Hey, thank you guys for being responsive. This sounds like a good project. Let’s go ahead and make it happen.” \n\n\n\nPablo: I think that’s what makes it different from most of the park stories that we’ve covered before, right? Is that there really does seem to be a unified sense for where we want this place to go. I mean, is that, do you think that’s accurate? \n\n\n\nDiego: I would say so. I’m sure you could find some people that don’t want – actually, I know some people that think, “Hey, we (should) just get rid of the golf course and make it this free-flowing meadow kind of thing” or whatever. Like, I’m sure you could find different people with different ideas. But, by and large, I would say that, yeah. \n\n\n\nObviously, voters liked it enough to say, “Hey, we’re willing to issue debt that’s supported by our property taxes and increase taxes a little bit to make this happen.” \n\n\n\nAnd, of course, like I said, Ascarate is only one part of the $95 million in bond funding for county parks. Some of that will go to parks in Fabens and I think in (the) far northwest county. But, by and large, Ascarate is the main park in our region, right? And I think sometimes we don’t realize that. It’s also owned by the county as opposed to the city. And, so, it’s kind of got a different profile for that reason. But I think that there are a lot of people that look at it as, like, the central park for El Paso, right? And so, yeah, I think that’s why it’s garnered some support from voters. \n\n\n\nPablo: Can you tell us – can we look into the future a little bit and tell us some of the key dates that are going to be coming up for us? \n\n\n\nDiego: Yeah. So, I believe that – so far, the Exigo architecture firm that the county hired, so far they’ve been, like, conceptual work, right? Like, let’s kind of do renderings, let’s do the early work to understand how this project is going to advance. And then I think by August, they begin the schematic construction drawings. \n\n\n\nAnd so I think at that point– so, the county is going to have, I think they want to have a special meeting at the end of July sometime at the park. Have more people there. Hopefully it’s going to be in the evening so that people can show up and really give some good input on what to focus (on), what to prioritize going forward. So, we could see in maybe a month, month and a half, the county will have a meeting. \n\n\n\nAnd then I think by August, they’re going to say, “OK, this is our plan and we’re going to go from the conceptual idea to let’s get some construction drawings going, let’s make this a reality.” And, so, that’ll happen in the months ahead. \n\n\n\nAnd then I think I said at the top that construction is supposed to start in spring of 2027. So we could see, nine, 10 months from now, some work start. I know that it’ll be phased. So only certain portions of the park are closed. It’s not all going to be closed at once. How disruptive it’ll be for fishermen, I don’t know yet. \n\n\n\nAs far as, like, are they going to close the lake for fishing? We’ll have to see. So, we could see August a real point where the county commissioners take a vote. “Let’s go ahead and advance with the schematics and drawings and so forth.” And then construction starts next spring. And then, ideally, be wrapped up late 2029 is the goal for the county for now. Of course, I think we’ve all seen some projects get delayed, but tentatively the late 2029 is the completion date. \n\n\n\nA rendering Exigo Architecture shared with El Paso County Commissioners Court showing a new picnic shelter at Ascarate Park. (Courtesy Exigo)\n\n\n\nPablo: All right. So, I know you’ll be keeping us apprised of all of this as it proceeds, right? But if someone tunes into this conversation, right, and only knows the headlines, what’s the one thing you want to be sure people know about what’s happening at Ascarate right now? \n\n\n\nDiego: Yeah. I guess it just strikes me that we could see some really big changes at Ascarate Park in the coming years. \n\n\n\nEven the picnic shelters that people go and use and grill on or whatever, like, they’re a little bit aged and due for a touch-up, right? And, so, we could see some new kind of fancy steel structures that kind of blend in with the desert environment. Some new vegetation, new trees, like I said, to provide more shade. New fishing docks or piers. The vegetation around the lake, maybe better fishing. \n\n\n\nAnd then, in addition to that, kind of getting back to the events that you mentioned, right, like where there’s more concerts at the park and more festivals and just big events, kind of bring Ascarate more back to life, maybe like when Western Playland was there. That was before my time, right? I was more familiar with the Western Playland that exists today. \n\n\n\nA rendering Exigo Architecture shared with El Paso County Commissioners Court showing a new event venue at Ascarate Park. (Courtesy Exigo)\n\n\n\nBut I think that’s the idea, is not to make Ascarate great again per se, but just update it, right? And I’ll say too, I mean, of course we’ve talked about the unifying nature is cool, but just kind of envisioning like, man, whole new visitor center, whole new walking trail, whole new festival area. It could look like a really different park in a few years. And, so, I’m really curious to see how it plays out and just see like, does the county take these funds, deploy them efficiently and effectively, and get these projects done on time? It’ll be important, but I’m definitely excited to see what Ascarate Park could look like in a few years. \n\n\n\nPablo: Who knows, could be the home of the El Paso Matters 9.15K, right? Which, by the way, shameless plug, it’s coming up September 19th, and the information is on our website if you’d like to know more. \n\n\n\nDiego: Yeah, I think they talked about wanting to accommodate runners and things like that, athletes. So, maybe we could have a run there. We’ll see. \n\n\n\nPablo: Yeah, absolutely.\n\n\n\nDiego, thank you so much for sharing all this information with us. I know you’re going to keep us informed in the days and months ahead. Always, always a pleasure to talk to you. \n\n\n\nDiego: Appreciate it, Pablo. We’ve got to go hang out at Ascarate sometime. \n\n\n\nPablo: Definitely.\n\n\n\n\nThe post Podcast: Big improvements may be coming to Ascarate Park.

They’re guaranteed to finish top of Group D and know when and where (and probably who) they’re playing next.\n\n\nBut, with the country pulling together behind them in a way never seen before in American men’s soccer history, they really, really want to.\n\n\n“When you win your last game, you go into the next one with that little bit of extra,” Christian Pulisic told reporters on Wednesday.\n\n\n“That winning mentality feeling is just – it sticks with you. So you want it, you want it for sure. Going into the knockout rounds will definitely feel better with a win. So, that’s why we’re going to push for it, and it’s an opportunity, an amazing opportunity.”\n\n\nThe US takes on Turkey at 10 p.m. ET at SoFi Stadium outside Los Angeles, the scene of one of the most impressive wins in US soccer history earlier in this tournament when the Americans brutalized Paraguay on their way to a 4-1 win. Coupled with a 2-0 win over the Australians six days ago, the US won two games in the World Cup group stage for the first time since the inaugural tournament in 1930.\n\n\nThose opening wins allowed American fans to dream. The Paraguayans and Australians aren’t exactly top caliber teams, but the US looked impressive in both games and conjured days of World Cup bracketology as American fans started hoping for a deep run in this tournament being played on home soil.\n\n\nBut that kind of daydreaming can lead to slip-ups and Turkey, angry and disappointed at two losses that came in games they largely dominated, doesn’t want to go home without any results in this 2026 World Cup.\n\n\nIt’s a recipe for a classic trap game. That kind of mental letdown is something manager Mauricio Pochettino has been preparing his team for all week.\n\n\nDefender Mark McKenzie described intense training sessions since last week’s win over Australia and intense demands from Pochettino and his staff to stay focused. The players seem to be having fun and are in good spirits, but McKenize described an underlying intensity that has marked this week.\n\n\n“Mauricio and the staff have been clear and transparent about what they want to accomplish in the trainings, making sure it’s sharp, intense, and making sure that we’re going into the match feeling 100% so that we can go out there and perform to the fullest,” he told CNN Sports.\n\n\nPochettino said he’s been emphasizing to his team that the Turkish side will not be going quietly.\n\n\n“It’s a World Cup match where when you defend your jersey, your flag, your future – always is about pride,” Pochettino told reporters. “I have no doubt that the Turkish team is going to be competitive tomorrow. They have good players, of course, they are eliminated, but… we are not thinking that it’s going to be a game that it’s going to be easy, we know the quality.\n\n\n“I think it’s not my choice to analyze why they were eliminated, but … in the way that they played the two games, even if they didn’t win, I think they deserve more, in my opinion.”\n\n\nThe USA will get a boost from the possible return of Pulisic to the team after he sat out the second group match against Australia last week. The attacking midfielder suffered a kick in his calf a few days before the opening match against Paraguay and played through the opening 45 minutes of the tournament, not feeling much pain thanks to adrenaline.\n\n\nPulisic told reporters on Wednesday that the pain from the injury – a contusion or strain, he said – came out during halftime and the decision was made, with the US up by three goals at that point, to sit the rest of the game. A race to get fit before the second game was ultimately not done in time, but Pulisic said Wednesday he’s feeling good and hoping to play.\n\n\nPochettino confirmed Wednesday evening that Pulisic is fit, but the decision about how much to play him is yet to be made.\n\n\n“We need to decide if it’s possible to play from the beginning or be on the bench, and unfortunately, maybe to play on the second half,” the Argentine said.\n\n\nThe USA team that will take the pitch on Thursday night will look markedly different than the ones that have started the first two games. Players like Chris Richards, Tyler Adams, Folarin Balogun and Antonee Robinson have all been shown yellow cards so far in this tournament and receiving another yellow would mean being suspended for the Round of 32 match on July 1.\n\n\nPochettino said it’s not worth the risk to lose one of those players.\n\n\n“It’s unnecessary to take a risk and then take another yellow card and be not available for the next stage,” he said, “and I think that is a little bit normal and easy answer in the beginning.”\n\n\nThat next stage is looming. Bosnia and Herzegovina’s win over Qatar on Wednesday has set the stage for the Zmajevi, as it stands, to be the US’ opponent next week in Santa Clara at Levi’s Stadium when the knockout rounds commence.\n\n\nThe expanded World Cup, combined with the US’ status as a host nation and the dominant performances in the opening two games, has allowed prognosticators to map out a route for the US through the knockout rounds. The United States has won a grand total of one knockout round game in its history at the world’s biggest sporting showcase – and it’s been 24 years since that happened.\n\n\nThe support for the team in Los Angeles and Seattle has been loud and proud – “day and night” is how Pochettino described the change in fan support from before the tournament – and there’s a genuine connection between fans and squad.\n\n\n“The connection was the most difficult (thing) to create,” Pochettino said. “And now when you connect with the fans and the people, it’s exciting. Our players and the team is so excited to create tomorrow here and feel the connection because that is a unique feeling and emotion that you can – it’s difficult to get another place that is the adrenaline that you like to feel in your body when that connection happens.”\n\n\nIt’s a hard thing to build. It can be a harder thing to keep.\n\n\nThe good vibes around the US men’s soccer team right now are fairly unprecedented. Historical failings are being brushed off, and cultural and structural deficiencies in the international men’s game are being scoffed at. Fans of this team, by and large, are as confident in the US men’s soccer team as they’ve ever been.\n\n\nIt’s a balloon that keeps inflating, and a loss against Turkey – though it won’t affect the USA’s path the rest of the tournament – could be the needle that pops it and allows those realities to rush back in.\n\n\nMcKenzie said there’s been no thought of letting this summer of soccer love hit a speed bump.\n\n\n“We’ve had two strong performances so far, but that’s not going to change our mentality, kind of pull us back from doing what we want to do, and that’s winning every game, right?” he said. “We want to win this whole thing. We came into this tournament with that mentality and not trying to stop short of that goal.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

Three years later, the project has come to life, with military flyovers, movie screenings and a giant 110-foot Ferris wheel on the packed schedule. Trump’s stamp will be evident, including a scaled-down replica of Trump’s proposed 250-foot “triumphal arch.”\n\n\n“This is the beginning of the golden age of America,” Trump declared at the fair kick off on Wednesday evening.\n\n\nWho is putting on the fair?\n\n\n\nThe 16-day-long festival has been organized by Freedom250, a Trump-aligned nonprofit that has organized a plethora of 250th-anniversary events backed by the president, such as the Rededicate 250 prayer event on the National Mall in May.\n\n\nIs there an entry fee?\n\n\n\nThe fair is free. Freedom250 has encouraged those who plan to attend to RSVP.\n\n\nWhat states will be there?\n\n\n\nAll 50 states plus the US’ territories will be represented, but several states are not directly taking part. Participating states sought sponsors, donations or state funding to decorate their booths.\n\n\nOfficials from Washington, Massachusetts, Illinois, North Carolina and Connecticut told CNN they declined to organize booths for their state, citing limited finances. Groups from each state have volunteered to represent them at the fair.\n\n\nWhile officials said their states’ decisions were largely due to costs, a spokesperson for Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, a Democrat, shared concerns that event was “shaping up to be a more partisan affair than originally presented.”\n\n\nWhat will the pavilions look like?\n\n\n\nUntil July 10, large white tents decorated with neoclassical columns will house dozens of state pavilions featuring interactive experiences designed to represent each state’s culture, heritage and natural landscapes.\n\n\nArizona’s pavilion will take visitors through a “sensory journey,” explained Paul Behnen, creative director at Off Madison Ave, the advertising agency that helped the Arizona Office of Tourism design the display.\n\n\n“You start with the warm, cathedral light in Antelope Canyon,” he said. “Then you transition into the cool, dappled light of a Ponderosa pine forest. And lastly, you wander into a Sonoran Desert nightscape, where blacklights subtly illuminate stars and saguaro cactuses.”\n\n\nIn Montana, visitors will be able to explore a fossil-digging station. In Minnesota, they’ll win prizes by selecting from a pond full of miniature versions of the North Star State’s official bird, the common loon. Florida’s pavilion will showcase the state’s citrus industry and include a mini-golf putting green.\n\n\nOklahoma’s pavilion will replicate the smells of the prairie and use lighting to show the transition from a sunrise to dark evening. Fans will also be placed throughout the tent to evoke the lyrics –“where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain.” – from the musical “Oklahoma!”\n\n\n“We really wanted to focus on dispelling some preconceived notions about Oklahoma and getting people to see all the diversity and wonderful experiences we have to offer in our state,” Amy Blackburn, executive director of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department, told CNN.\n\n\nWhat kind of attractions are available?\n\n\n\nThe fairgrounds also will include a daily reminder of the American West. There will be rodeo shows featuring precision-riding demonstrations and traditional Mexican charro performances. Visitors will have the opportunity to participate in meet-and-greets with American Miniature Therapy Horses.\n\n\nMeanwhile, Freedom 250’s mobile museums, known as the Freedom Trucks, will tell the story of America’s founding using AI-generated videos and artwork. They feature content from Hillsdale College, a Christian liberal arts school in Michigan, and PragerU, a conservative media organization that publishes educational materials aimed at combating a “dominant left-wing ideology.”\n\n\nEarlier this month, Freedom250 was forced to jettison some concerts following the withdrawal of artists who had been scheduled to perform, but the group has said there will still be musical performances.\n\n\n“We’re literally gonna have hundreds of performers,” Freedom250 CEO Keith Krach told CNN. “We’ve got something for everybody, you know what I mean. We’ll have great speakers, military bands, amazing entertainers, amazing singers, magicians, all that stuff.”\n\n\nWhat is on the menu?\n\n\n\nVisitors will be able to feast on a variety of state fair classics, including jumbo corn dogs, turkey legs and buckets of fries. Pancakes from Judy’s Family Cafe, an Illinois diner known for its viral social media videos, will also be available.\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional information.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Freedom250 has encouraged those who plan to attend to RSVP.\n\n\nWhat states will be there?\n\n\n\nAll 50 states plus the US’ territories will be represented, but several states are not directly taking part. Participating states sought sponsors, donations or state funding to decorate their booths.\n\n\nOfficials from Washington, Massachusetts, Illinois, North Carolina and Connecticut told CNN they declined to organize booths for their state, citing limited finances. Groups from each state have volunteered to represent them at the fair.\n\n\nWhile officials said their states’ decisions were largely due to costs, a spokesperson for Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, a Democrat, shared concerns that the event was “shaping up to be a more partisan affair than originally presented.”\n\n\nWhat will the pavilions look like?\n\n\n\nUntil July 10, large white tents decorated with neoclassical columns will house dozens of state pavilions featuring interactive experiences designed to represent each state’s culture, heritage and natural landscapes.\n\n\nArizona’s pavilion will take visitors through a “sensory journey,” explained Paul Behnen, creative director at Off Madison Ave, the advertising agency that helped the Arizona Office of Tourism design the display.\n\n\n“You start with the warm, cathedral light in Antelope Canyon,” he said. “Then you transition into the cool, dappled light of a Ponderosa pine forest. And lastly, you wander into a Sonoran Desert nightscape, where blacklights subtly illuminate stars and saguaro cactuses.”\n\n\nIn Montana, visitors will be able to explore a fossil-digging station. In Minnesota, they’ll win prizes by selecting from a pond full of miniature versions of the North Star State’s official bird, the common loon. Florida’s pavilion will showcase the state’s citrus industry and include a mini-golf putting green.\n\n\nOklahoma’s pavilion will replicate the smells of the prairie and use lighting to show the transition from a sunrise to dark evening. Fans will also be placed throughout the tent to evoke the lyrics –“where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain.” – from the musical “Oklahoma!”\n\n\n“We really wanted to focus on dispelling some preconceived notions about Oklahoma and getting people to see all the diversity and wonderful experiences we have to offer in our state,” Amy Blackburn, executive director of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department, told CNN.\n\n\nWhat kind of attractions are available?\n\n\n\nThe fairgrounds also will include a daily reminder of the American West. There will be rodeo shows featuring precision-riding demonstrations and traditional Mexican charro performances. Visitors will have the opportunity to participate in meet-and-greets with American Miniature Therapy Horses.\n\n\nMeanwhile, Freedom 250’s mobile museums, known as the Freedom Trucks, will tell the story of America’s founding using AI-generated videos and artwork. They feature content from Hillsdale College, a Christian liberal arts school in Michigan, and PragerU, a conservative media organization that publishes educational materials aimed at combating a “dominant left-wing ideology.”\n\n\nEarlier this month, Freedom250 was forced to jettison some concerts following the withdrawal of artists who had been scheduled to perform, but the group has said there will still be musical performances.\n\n\n“We’re literally gonna have hundreds of performers,” Freedom250 CEO Keith Krach told CNN. “We’ve got something for everybody, you know what I mean. We’ll have great speakers, military bands, amazing entertainers, amazing singers, magicians, all that stuff.”\n\n\nWhat is on the menu?\n\n\n\nVisitors will be able to feast on a variety of state fair classics, including jumbo corn dogs, turkey legs and buckets of fries. Pancakes from Judy’s Family Cafe, an Illinois diner known for its viral social media videos, will also be available.\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional information.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Rand Paul and Bill Cassidy, who had previously voted to rein in the president’s war powers on Iran, changed their votes; Paul voted present and Cassidy voted against advancing the resolution. GOP Sens. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski once again voted for the resolution, while Democratic Sen. John Fetterman again voted against it. The final tally was 47-50-1.\n\n\n\nTrump welcomed the vote on Truth Social, noting Paul’s and Cassidy’s shifts and writing, “This vote puts Iran on notice!”\n\n\n\nEarlier Wednesday at a tense Senate GOP lunch with Trump, Cassidy went toe-to-toe with the president on Iran, telling him he would continue voting for war powers measures until Congress and the American people are given more information on the conflict.\n\n\n\n“I stood and said, ‘You have not told the American people what’s going on. It was supposed to last four weeks, it’s lasted four months. Our original objectives have not been achieved, and I want to know what’s going on,” Cassidy told reporters after the meeting.\n\n\n\nBut later Wednesday, the Louisiana Republican said he’d received a “thorough briefing” from Vice President JD Vance and special envoy Steve Witkoff on Iran.\n\n\n\n“I want to thank Vice President Vance and Special Envoy Witkoff for the thorough briefing this afternoon on Iran. I appreciate the quick invitation to the White House to address many of my concerns,” he posted on X.\n\n\n\nPaul, a Kentucky Republican, wrote on X Wednesday that his opinion on the war hadn’t changed but that Trump “asked me to give consideration to his negotiating position.”\n\n\n\n“My opinion on the debate over war and executive power has not changed and I have voted that way several times. But since hostilities seem to be over and the President asked me to give consideration to his negotiating position, I will do so. My vote of present is a way to give the President more space and leverage to negotiate a lasting peace,” he wrote.\n\n\n\nDuring the Capitol Hill meeting, Trump also criticized GOP Sens. Dave McCormick and Mitch McConnell for missing Tuesday’s vote. However, McConnell remains hospitalized, and McCormick was on Air Force One with the president en route to an event in Pennsylvania during the vote.\n\n\n\nWednesday’s vote marks the 11th time the Senate has voted on an Iran war powers measure since the beginning of the year. This resolution was discharged from committee in a floor vote last month, in another case of GOP absences, but Democrats wanted to wait to push for a follow-up vote to ensure they had the support to pass it. Republicans brought it to the floor Wednesday night, hopeful that they could defeat the measure.\n\n\n\nTrump has laid into Republicans who’ve backed various Iran war powers resolutions. After the House adopted a concurrent resolution 215 to 208 earlier this month, with four House Republicans voting with Democrats, Trump called the Republicans “GRANDSTANDERS” and their action “unpatriotic” in a post on Truth Social. And after the Senate also adopted the concurrent resolution on Tuesday, 50-48, Trump called the four Senate Republicans who backed it “losers,” adding, “These Senators have just made my job more difficult.”\n\n\n\nSome Democratic senators, including Tim Kaine of Virginia, have argued that passage of a war powers resolution is necessary, even after the US reached a preliminary agreement with Iran.\n\n\n\n“I think it’s a good time to have the vote to say, ‘Hey, if we’re really in a period of maybe some stability here, let’s not just allow it to start up again without Congress being involved in that decision,” he told reporters last week.\n\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire & © 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

(No)… La gasolina también alcanzará un récord. (Incorrecto)… Y después de que el estrecho de Ormuz finalmente reabra, el petróleo volverá a los precios previos a la guerra el próximo año, como muy pronto (La encuesta dice: ).\n\n\nLos analistas de la industria petrolera (y, ejem, al menos un periodista de CNN) están teniendo que tragarse sus palabras últimamente.\n\n\nA pesar del mayor shock de suministro de petróleo en la historia, los precios del petróleo en los últimos meses nunca se acercaron a su récord establecido en 2008. Los precios de la gasolina y el diésel no superaron sus máximos de 2022. Y, como predijo el presidente Donald Trump, los precios del petróleo, de hecho, han caído “como una roca” después de que Estados Unidos llegó a un acuerdo con Irán.\n\n\n¿Cómo pudieron estar tan equivocados todos los expertos?\n\n\nEl shock de suministro de petróleo fue sin precedentes, así que la historia no sirvió de ayuda. Pero el buen y viejo capitalismo resultó ser muy útil.\n\n\nEl mercado del petróleo es increíblemente complejo y significativamente más flexible de lo que incluso los expertos más conocedores anticipaban.\n\n\n“Los mercados tienden a resolver los problemas de manera más eficiente de lo esperado”, dijo Peter Taylor, jefe de estrategia de materias primas en Macquarie Group.\n\n\nSin embargo, no descorches el champán todavía: esta historia del petróleo aún no ha terminado.\n\n\nEl cierre del estrecho de Ormuz por parte de Irán cortó alrededor de 13 millones de barriles de petróleo por día, aproximadamente una quinta parte del suministro mundial. En total, la economía global perderá 1.600 millones de barriles de suministro de petróleo entre febrero y agosto, según JPMorgan.\n\n\nTodo ese petróleo atrapado detrás de una andanada de misiles y rutas marítimas bloqueadas con minas llevó a varios analistas de petróleo respetados a predecir que los precios del petróleo se dispararían hasta US$ 150, o incluso US$ 200 para el verano. Pero el Brent nunca se estableció por encima de US$ 115 y el petróleo estadounidense ni siquiera llegó a US$ 113 por barril.\n\n\nEl suministro récord fue un factor significativo: el mundo entró en la guerra de Irán con 407 millones de barriles de petróleo utilizable en almacenamiento, según JPMorgan. Eso proporcionó un colchón significativo para los precios.\n\n\nTambién lo hizo una liberación récord de 400 millones de barriles de las reservas estratégicas de petróleo de la Agencia Internacional de Energía, un impulso de suministro que aún continúa. Y la decisión de Trump de levantar las sanciones al petróleo ruso e iraní también añadió cientos de millones de barriles al mercado.\n\n\n“El mercado se ajustó repetidamente de maneras que impidieron que los precios subieran de manera significativa”, dijo Natasha Kaneva, jefa de estrategia global de materias primas de JPMorgan, una de las pocas analistas que predijo correctamente que los precios promediarían solo alrededor de US$ 100 durante la primavera.\n\n\nPero Kaneva dijo que le sorprendió la cantidad de suministro que surgió del supuesto cerrado estrecho de Ormuz en el último mes aproximadamente: decenas de barcos apagaron sus transpondedores y salieron furtivamente del golfo Pérsico, llevándose alrededor de 2 millones de barriles de petróleo por día.\n\n\nEn conjunto, esos aumentos de suministro hicieron que el impacto fuera considerablemente más manejable para que el mercado lo absorbiera.\n\n\nEn el otro lado de la balanza de oferta y demanda, el apetito de los consumidores por el petróleo cayó sustancialmente más en los últimos meses de lo que casi nadie predijo. Entre febrero y agosto, las consecuencias de la guerra de Irán habrán destruido la demanda de 800 millones de barriles de petróleo, estima JPMorgan.\n\n\nEn su mayoría, tenemos que agradecer a China. Con sus enormes reservas previas a la guerra y su cambio masivo a plantas de energía a carbón durante la guerra, la demanda en China cayó en 2,6 millones de barriles por día, según Kpler. El país también ha hecho un gran esfuerzo para cambiar a vehículos eléctricos, lo que redujo el consumo de petróleo chino en 1 millón de barriles por día, estima la Agencia Internacional de Energía.\n\n\nAunque las compañías petroleras aún necesitaban utilizar una parte significativa de sus inventarios durante el shock de oferta, la destrucción de la demanda evitó que las reservas de crudo se agotaran.\n\n\nPuede que no parezca importante si el equilibrio del mercado petrolero se logró reduciendo inventarios o demanda. Pero para los precios, la distinción marca una enorme diferencia, señaló Kaneva.\n\n\nCuando las reservas caen, los precios suelen dispararse a medida que las refinerías compiten por un suministro escaso. Pero cuando la demanda cae, los precios tienden a desplomarse junto con ella.\n\n\nOtro factor significativo es el sorprendente aumento de la producción durante la guerra, particularmente de Brasil y Venezuela. Estados Unidos no incrementó tanto su producción, pero se convirtió en un proveedor de último recurso para ayudar a cubrir el vacío dejado por Meido Oriente. Eso ayudó a resolver la incipiente crisis de combustible para aviones en Europa y la escasez de diésel en Australia.\n\n\nUna de las principales razones por las que los precios han caído tanto en los últimos días y semanas es la expectativa de que el aumento de la producción no se revertirá una vez que se reabra el estrecho de Ormuz, liberando alrededor de 93 millones de barriles de crudo varado, según Kpler.\n\n\nSi acaso, el mundo podría recibir mucha más oferta de la que necesita.\n\n\nSe espera que los países miembros de la OPEP que redujeron la producción porque no había dónde almacenar su petróleo comiencen a inundar el mercado.\n\n\n“La recuperación económica de Arabia Saudita tras la guerra con Irán será impulsada por un aumento en la producción de petróleo”, dijo Jason Tuvey, economista de mercados emergentes en Capital Economics. También predice que la salida de los Emiratos Árabes Unidos de la OPEP significa que aumentarán considerablemente su propia producción de petróleo en las próximas semanas y meses.\n\n\nA pesar de las expectativas de que el aumento de la producción podría tomar varios meses, Macquarie’s Taylor cree que en realidad podría suceder mucho más rápido que eso.\n\n\n“El sesgo de complejidad ha establecido la narrativa de que la normalización del mercado petrolero podría tomar mucho tiempo”, dijo Taylor. “No estamos de acuerdo”.\n\n\nYa sea rápido o gradual, la AIE espera que el aumento de la producción genere un excedente mundial de petróleo de alrededor de 5 millones de barriles por día el próximo año.\n\n\nLa oferta puede ser mayor de lo esperado. La demanda puede ser menor. Y una enorme cantidad de petróleo podría estar a punto de inundar el mercado. Pero el problema no está resuelto, al menos no todavía.\n\n\nLos niveles de inventario en Cushing, Oklahoma, el cruce de oleoductos de Estados Unidos, cayeron por debajo de los 19 millones de barriles la semana pasada, el nivel más bajo desde agosto de 2014. Eso está por debajo de los niveles de estrés operativo, donde se vuelve difícil generar suficiente presión para entregar el petróleo a través de los oleoductos a las refinerías que lo necesitan.\n\n\nCon los precios de vuelta a los niveles previos a la guerra, el mercado ciertamente anticipa que los niveles de inventario de EE.UU. no presentarán un problema serio. Pero un acuerdo con Irán que permita que esos barriles regresen a los inventarios, y el hecho de realmente rellenar los inventarios, son dos cosas diferentes.\n\n\n“Recuperar los barriles es un desafío diferente a llegar a un acuerdo”, señaló Alan Gelder, jefe de macro petróleo en Wood Mackenzie.\n\n\nGelder anticipa que el 90 % de la producción previa a la guerra podría regresar en seis meses, pero volver a la normalidad podría tomar “considerablemente más tiempo”.\n\n\nMientras tanto, China y otros países que recurrieron profundamente a sus inventarios probablemente querrán reabastecerlos, señaló Oxley. Eso podría restaurar mucha demanda más adelante este año y hasta 2027.\n\n\nPor eso Oxley espera que la mayor parte de las buenas noticias ya se hayan incorporado al mercado del petróleo, y que los precios no tengan mucho más margen para caer desde aquí.\n\n\nPero este mercado sigue desafiando las expectativas.\n\n\n¿Cómo maneja un operador de petróleo todas estas sorpresas?\n\n\n“Sea ágil”, dijo Taylor.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

One Caracas resident who escaped from a damaged building said “the scene was like a horror movie.”\n\n\n\nAnother Caracas resident, Martha Añez, described seeing no way out of her apartment and leaning out onto her balcony, “screaming, ‘We’re trapped! We need help! Please, someone come!’\n\n\n\n“We couldn’t get out; there was hammering from one side and kicking from the other. I don’t know who actually rescued us, because they were shouting, ‘Get away from there, we’re coming and we are about six!’, until they finally burst through the door,” she told CNN.\n\n\n\nThree floors of her apartment building are “totally and absolutely wrecked,” she said.\n\n\n\nWhat’s the toll and damage?\n\n\n\nEarly on Thursday morning, acting President Delcy Rodriguez – who stepped into the role after Maduro’s capture – said that at least 164 people are dead and 971 injured, with the toll expected to rise.\n\n\n\nThat announcement marked a sharp increase from the overnight toll, indicating the potential scale of the damage yet to be reported.\n\n\n\nDozens of buildings have collapsed, with the coastal state of La Guaira hardest hit and now declared a disaster zone, Rodriguez said in a video message.\n\n\n\n“We are currently engaged in arduous rescue operations to save as many lives as God allows. This is truly a tragedy,” she said.\n\n\n\nMultiple videos geolocated by CNN show extensive damage to buildings and infrastructure across Venezuela, including in the capital Caracas. In La Guaira, a large waterfront hotel in the city of Macuto has been reduced to rubble, while in the town of Catia La Mar, videos show several collapsed buildings and badly damaged high-rises.\n\n\n\nThe US Geological Survey issued two separate red alerts through its PAGER system for the back-to-back quakes, warning of probable “high casualties and extensive damage.” Most people in the region live in structures vulnerable to the quake’s shaking, it added.\n\n\n\nInternet connectivity dropped sharply across Venezuela after the quakes damaged power and telecoms infrastructure, according to watchdog NetBlocks.\n\n\n\nWhat’s the response?\n\n\n\nVenezuela has declared a state of emergency, with a high-level task force created to oversee search and rescue operations, and an initial $200 million fund to rebuild the country, Rodriguez said.\n\n\n\nSimon Bolivar Airport near Caracas has temporarily closed after suffering damage, she added. School classes will be suspended nationwide for a week, and rail services and non-essential activities have also been temporarily canceled. Nationwide prayers for all religions will be held at 7 p.m local time, she said.\n\n\n\nSecurity forces have been deployed across Venezuela, according to the Ministry of Communication and Information. It has cut off direct gas supplies to certain buildings as a preventative measure as authorities assess damaged structures.\n\n\n\nGovernments around the world are now sending teams of rescuers to assist in affected areas, said Rodriguez on Wednesday. Venezuela expects to receive rescuers from the US early Thursday after President Donald Trump voiced his support, she said; there are further teams being sent from the Dominican Republic, France, El Salvador, Mexico, and Qatar. Other countries have offered humanitarian aid, including China, Brazil, and some Caribbean nations.\n\n\n\nThis is a developing story and will be updated.\n\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire & © 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

He had felt something in his testicle months earlier. She found out and dragged him to see me.\n\n\nI did a physical exam and confirmed what I felt with an ultrasound. The lump turned out to be a benign cyst, not cancer.\n\n\nHe leaned over to her and said, “See. I told you so. I’m fine.” I told him he should thank her instead as this visit could have gone very differently.\n\n\nMost testicular lumps are not cancerous, but some are. And the only way to know is to get checked. When a man waits, he delays care — often for something a physician could clear up in minutes. Or a doctor could find something that could save his life.\n\n\nDuring my urology rotation in medical school, I checked my own testicles for the first time. I found something, freaked out and made myself an appointment. Like my recent patient, it turned out I had a benign cyst — almost certainly there my whole life. I just never knew what my “normal” felt like before that milestone moment.\n\n\nThat’s why I recommend that patients get in the habit of doing regular self-exams. You don’t need to obsess, and there are no formal guidelines requiring monthly checks. But getting familiar with your normal anatomy — by checking periodically while showering — helps you recognize change when it happens. The whole exam takes less than two minutes.\n\n\nThe more you know your baseline, the easier it is to notice when something is off.\n\n\nTesticles have 2 main functions\n\n\n\nThe testicles’ first key task is making sperm. A healthy man produces tens of millions of sperm every day. These sperm can take about three months to grow, mature and make it out into the ejaculate.\n\n\nThe testes’ second essential job is making male sex hormones — primarily testosterone. Specialized cells called Leydig cells produce most of the testosterone in a man’s body. Testosterone is responsible for muscle mass, bone density, libido, mood, energy — all essential to a man’s function.\n\n\nIt’s ideal to have two testicles, but men can function with one. A man can live a full life, including fathering children, with a single testicle.\n\n\nThe testicles do not start where they end up\n\n\n\nWhile a male fetus is developing in the womb, testicles originate in the abdomen near the kidneys. In the final months of pregnancy, the testicles descend through a passage called the inguinal canal to land in the scrotum, the pouch that protects them for the rest of a man’s life.\n\n\nThat descent is the reason testicles hang outside the body and why testicular pain can radiate up the abdomen. Sperm production works best at a temperature slightly cooler than core body temperature.\n\n\nThe scrotum is a temperature-controlled chamber that adjusts itself — pulling the testicles closer to the body when it’s cold and lowering them when it’s warm. That’s why everything looks different in a cold pool versus a hot shower.\n\n\nWhat’s actually down there\n\n\n\nThe scrotum usually contains two testicles. Each one is an oval organ, smooth and firm, roughly the size of a small egg. Inside, the testicle is full of small, packed tubules called seminiferous tubules, where sperm is produced.\n\n\nAttached to the back of each testicle is a soft, wormlike structure called the epididymis, where sperm mature. From there, sperm travel up through the vas deferens, a long tube that runs out of the scrotum into the lower pelvis to enter the ejaculatory ducts. This vas is the same tube that gets cut during a vasectomy.\n\n\nEverything that keeps the testicle alive and functional runs through the spermatic cord — arteries, veins, nerves and lymphatics, bundled together along with the vas deferens. You can feel the structures of the cord rising from the top of each testicle. The cord is surrounded by muscle that helps the testicle move.\n\n\nWhat’s normal\n\n\n\nOne testicle is typically slightly lower than the other, usually the left. One is slightly larger than the other, which can be on either side. What’s that soft, lumpy wormlike structure along the top and back of each testicle? That’s the epididymis, not a tumor. A cordlike structure extending from the top of each testicle is the spermatic cord. Cysts can form on the testicle or epididymis, but they are usually benign.\n\n\nYou may find enlarged veins above the testicle that feel like a small bag of worms. This may be a varicocele  — a common and usually harmless condition — but it’s worth mentioning to a doctor if it’s new and painful or you have concerns about fertility.\n\n\nTesticles that move up and down depending on temperature, exercise or arousal are also normal.\n\n\nWhat’s not normal\n\n\n\nA firm, painless lump on the testicle itself is a red flag. It is the classic presentation of testicular cancer. About 9,800 men in the United States will be diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2026, according to the American Cancer Society. The disease is most common in younger and middle-aged men, especially those in their 20s and 30s, and it is one of the most treatable cancers when found early — survival is about  99% when caught early.\n\n\nIf you find a firm lump, you should get to a doctor right away, even if you feel fine. Most testicular cancers are painless, but pain doesn’t rule cancer out. Very easily, an exam, ultrasound and/or lab work can help sort a benign tumor from cancer.\n\n\nCyclist Lance Armstrong’s 1996 diagnosis made testicular cancer a household conversation. Earlier this year, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had a similar scare. His lump was painful and turned out to be epididymitis  or inflammation of the epididymis — not cancer.\n\n\nTender swelling, redness or warmth — sometimes with painful or frequent urination or fever — may be epididymitis, the condition Johnson had. It’s treatable, often with antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and rest.\n\n\nSudden, severe pain in one testicle could be testicular torsion — the spermatic cord twisting on itself and cutting off blood supply. Torsion is a medical emergency, full stop. If the testicle is not untwisted within hours, it can be lost.\n\n\nWhat happens at a doctor’s visit\n\n\n\nYour visit with the urologist will start with a conversation about when you noticed something off, what it feels like, any pain or urinary symptoms, and relevant medical history. During the physical exam, the physician will check the scrotum, the testicles, the epididymis and the spermatic cord. The doctor is checking for the same things you would feel for at home, just with more experience.\n\n\nFrom there, the workup depends on what a doctor finds. The urologist may order a scrotal ultrasound to get a clearer picture of the testicle and the surrounding structures. It’s the same basic test Johnson described having after his scare.\n\n\nDoctors may check your urine if they suspect infection, blood work for tumor markers if cancer is on the differential, or hormone levels if testosterone is part of the conversation. Occasionally, urologists will order an MRI if they want a closer look at the anatomy within the testicle.\n\n\nHow to check yourself\n\n\n\nI recommend that patients do their self-exams in the shower. Warm water relaxes the scrotum, which makes the testicles easier to feel.\n\n\nTake a couple of minutes to examine one testicle at a time. Roll it gently between your thumb and fingers. You are not squeezing. You are feeling for the shape, the size, the surface.\n\n\nFind the epididymis along the back. Notice the spermatic cord rising up.\n\n\nRemember, if you find anything new — a lump, a hard area, a change in size, persistent pain — in a self-exam, don’t drag your feet and delay care. Get checked early. Proactive care is the best form of healthcare.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

If they cling too closely to what has been done in the past, critics may grumble over a lack of innovation. If they veer too far from what fans know and expect, they risk losing the base that gave them a platform in the first place. For Olivia Rodrigo, the new “You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl so in Love” era has mostly relied on — as she sings in the lead single, “drop dead” — her own feminine intuition.\n\n\nThe 23-year-old’s third studio album, released this month, ushers in perhaps the most exciting phase of her career yet, one where both her style and sound are maturing in tandem.\n\n\nThe 13-track record chronicles the lifespan of a relationship, from the exuberance of initial infatuation to the whiplash of begging for affection from a partner that was once so easily enamored. It’s already earned Rodrigo her third consecutive No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. She kept the momentum going Monday with the announcement of Daisy Chain Fields, a new music festival featuring an all-women lineup — including Chappell Roan, Doechii, Bikini Kill and Katseye — with proceeds going towards women advocacy organizations. The event takes after Lilith Fair, the groundbreaking ‘90s feminist festival founded by Sarah McLachlan, who will also make a special guest appearance, along with Stevie Nicks and Karen O.\n\n\nRodrigo’s previous two albums,“Sour” (2021) and “Guts” (2023), were industry-shakers in their own right. Songs like “Drivers License” and “Vampire” demonstrated her talent for writing breakup ballads, while hits like “Good 4 U” and “Get Him Back” showcased her proficiency in ‘90s punk rock — an arena of music which has become her signature sonic playground. Up until now, Rodrigo’s style reflected that musical predilection, with the singer’s rotation of plaid miniskirts and platform boots often landing as a hybrid mix between Gwen Stefani and Cher Horowitz. Rodrigo’s eras have clearly defined color palettes too; her first two albums were synonymous with a spunky purple hue, while “You Seem Pretty Sad” has subtly shifted to a definitively girly powdery pink.\n\n\nIf the job of a debut album is to introduce an artist to the world, while a sophomore album reinforces their reputation, then a third album offers a channel for artists to expand beyond the familiar tricks and peculiarities that shot them to fame in the first place. In Rodrigo’s case, “You Seem Pretty Sad” mostly ditches the pop punk and alt-rock references and, instead, borrows sounds that defined the ‘80s. Think New Order, or post-punk flourishes from The Cure (the English band’s frontman, Robert Smith, even makes an appearance on the album’s B-side track, “What’s Wrong with Me”). Rodrigo’s wardrobe naturally followed suit.\n\n\nHer deft use of fashion during the “You Seem Pretty Sad”  rollout does more than allow Rodrigo to play dress up — it also functions as a vehicle for her artistry. Gone are the Mary Jane Dr. Martens and schoolgirl plaid skirts. Working with sister stylist duo Chloe and Chenelle Delgadillo, Rodrigo has reconstructed her signature looks to feel softer and more grown-up, with outfits drawing from fashion references just as diverse as her musical taste.\n\n\nAnatomy of a new era\n\n\n\nThe new album “ends up pulling a little bit from ‘80s new wave, but her look isn’t really going ‘80s new wave,” said music journalist Brittany Spanos of Rodrigo’s evolving sound and style. “Whereas she’s been pulling from grungier ‘90s looks for her last two album cycles, this one she expanded more into the hyper femme versions of it.”\n\n\nTo shape this era’s “femme palette,” Rodrigo has worn a mix of shift dresses reminiscent of ‘60s mod, ballet flats from the ‘70s-founded shoe brand Repetto, Y2K-style jeans paired with peep-toe heels, and modern riffs on the twee aesthetic. The music video for the album’s first single, “Drop Dead,” featured Rodrigo in two outfits: a replica of a crochet dress that Jane Birkin wore in the 1975 French film, “Catherine & Co,” and a pink-and-blue nightgown set from Chloé’s pre-fall 2026 collection — the latter of which looks like it could have been taken straight from the costume department of Sofia Coppola’s “Marie Antoinette.”\n\n\n“I think Olivia knows how to work a reference in a more profound sense than many pop stars,” stylist and trends spokesperson at social shopping app Depop, Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, said over email. (Depop serves as one of the official partners of Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields.) “When I think about her boho, and early aughts, and Jane Birkin nods, what is clear to me is that there is no real aesthetic throughline. The reference is more a state of being and a message of liberation — these are all aesthetics that connote women at their wildest and most free. That’s what her music is about, so why not also look that way?”\n\n\nRodrigo’s recent wardrobe contributes to the album’s worldbuilding, but her new style hasn’t been formed in a vacuum, either. “She knows how young people are dressing right now — she is one!” Karefa-Johnson said.\n\n\nIn the last three months alone, Depop searches for babydoll dresses have increased by 144%, Y2K low- rise jeans by 102%, and peep toe heels by 108%, according to the platform. Rodrigo’s other beloved trends, like vintage mod and indie sleaze, are also on the rise on the site.\n\n\nBut the relationship between Rodrigo’s wardrobe choices and this year’s trend cycles is also symbiotic.\n\n\n“You can’t really have the history of popular music without the history of fashion,” Spanos said. “It’s completely braided together. Artists, genres and things like music eras have always influenced and formed trends in fashion, and vice versa.”\n\n\nWhy fashion references matter\n\n\n\nThen the babydoll-sized elephant walked into the room.\n\n\nShortly after Rodrigo released her new album’s lead single, the pop star found herself at the center of a media maelstrom. A puff-sleeved babydoll dress she wore onstage during a Spotify concert in Barcelona saw some on social media accused Rodrigo of promoting a hypersexualized childlike aesthetic. Public outrage over how a female pop star dresses has, of course, recurred long before Rodrigo became a household name. The past few decades saw similar degrees of vitriol lobbed against the likes of Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.\n\n\nRodrigo pushed back against the outcry in an interview with the New York Times in May. Her outfit was reminiscent of feminist riot grrrl “heroes” Kathleen Hanna and Courtney Love, she said, adding, “You shouldn’t be responsible for some guy sexualizing you in some way that was never your intention.”\n\n\n“I think some of the confusion was a feeling of disconnect between the sound and look,” said Spanos, who wrote about the controversy in an essay for The Cut. While the tone and subject matter of “You Seem Pretty Sad”  may not exactly emulate the punk social commentary found in the discography of Rodrigo’s riot grrrl heroes, the babydoll dress still plays a role in how she wants to represent this new chapter of her career. “There’s a softness and a vulnerability,” said Spanos of Rodrigo’s latest album, that led her to “embrace these femme silhouettes and structures that have a little bit of an edge to them.”\n\n\nIndependent music critic Molly Mary O’Brien noted how the early-to-mid-’90s period that produced the original iteration of pop-punk fashion, and the current moment Rodrigo now operates within, are vastly different. “We have this very long lineage of female musicians subverting sexual expectations or just expectations of femininity,” O’Brien said. “It’s almost a symbol of how far women in the music industry have come, in a sense, that in the ‘90s grunge was an alternative movement that went mainstream. I feel like Rodrigo is maybe signifying this in her clothing… There is this continual push-pull between alternative and mainstream that she’s almost trying to thread the needle with.”\n\n\nThe way celebrities employ fashion references in their wardrobes is no accident, said Karefa-Johnson. “We need to be thinking critically and engaging with the complexity beneath the visual surface of a trend or reference,” she added. “The most compelling fashion references use history as a point of departure — they create friction by rubbing the future against the past. A reference shouldn’t be a blueprint but rather a jumping off point from which to explore something new.”\n\n\nAn era of experimentation\n\n\n\nRodrigo follows in the footsteps of other pop juggernauts who use sartorial Easter eggs to tease new musical eras. While Taylor Swift often gets credit for popularizing the notion of era reinventions, artists have played with their visuals to communicate and market new album cycles for decades — just look at Beyoncé, Madonna, David Bowie and The Beatles.\n\n\nThe broad genre of pop also gives artists room to experiment, said O’Brien, adding that audiences these days are well aware of the concept of eras and understand artists will go through multiple ones throughout their careers.\n\n\n“The easier you can describe something, the easier it is you can sell it,” O’Brien said. “America loves a teen pop star, and then we love ripping them to shreds when they have any sign of agency or autonomy… The times change, but there is that impulse to keep questioning the integrity of young female performers.”\n\n\nIf anything, the dichotomy between the pop star who prances around Versailles in a sheer nightie and the pop star who stomps onstage in knee-high combat boots feels completely authentic and intentional. Just like the two halves of “You Seem Pretty Sad,” Rodrigo’s wardrobe plays with the thin threshold between falling in love and breaking your heart.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

La cifra superior equivale aproximadamente al tamaño de toda la economía venezolana.\n\n\nAdemás de los edificios derrumbados, los fuertes temblores provocados por los terremotos también podrían provocar incendios al romperse las tuberías de gas o dañar los sistemas eléctricos, dijo la Dra. Lucy Jones, sismóloga del Instituto Tecnológico de California.\n\n\nEstos efectos en cadena pueden agravar el desastre, y los incendios a veces duplican las pérdidas económicas provocadas por un gran terremoto, añadió.\n\n\nPero con una economía en crisis, no hay una manera clara para que el Gobierno apoye un sistema de salud que pronto podría verse desbordado, o cubra los costos de la reconstrucción, todo mientras Caracas negocia los términos básicos de su regreso a la economía global.\n\n\nPara una población que ya padece pobreza, estos dos fuertes terremotos han golpeado en el peor momento posible.\n\n\nEn un discurso televisado el miércoles por la noche, Rodríguez declaró el estado de emergencia.\n\n\n“Hemos activado toda la red de salud pública y privada del país, especialmente en las zonas más afectadas, para atender a los heridos durante este momento tan delicado para la población”, señaló, y agregó que se ha formado un grupo de trabajo de alto nivel para supervisar las operaciones de búsqueda y rescate.\n\n\nSegún una publicación en su canal oficial de Telegram, Maduro, depuesto y encarcelado, expresó su solidaridad con el pueblo venezolano.\n\n\n“Hoy solo hay un mensaje: máxima unidad, máxima solidaridad y máxima acción”, decía el mensaje en nombre de Maduro y su esposa Cilia Flores de Maduro, quienes actualmente se encuentran bajo custodia federal en Nueva York enfrentando cargos de narcotráfico y posesión de armas tras ser capturados por las fuerzas estadounidenses en enero.\n\n\nUna de las líderes de oposición más destacadas del país, María Corina Machado, compartió su dolor en X.\n\n\n“Mi corazón, mi abrazo infinito y mis oraciones están con cada hogar venezolano en estas horas de angustia”, manifestó Machado, quien recibió el Premio Nobel de la Paz el año pasado y ha estado viviendo en el exilio, enfrentando persecución en su país.\n\n\nLos terremotos del miércoles pondrán a prueba hasta dónde está dispuesto a llegar Estados Unidos para apoyar a Venezuela, un país que el presidente Donald Trump dijo que “gobernaría” una vez que derrocara a Maduro por la fuerza militar.\n\n\nTrump ha ensalzado el éxito de la intervención estadounidense en Venezuela y su improbable alianza con Rodríguez.\n\n\nJusto un día antes de que los devastadores terremotos azotaran Venezuela, Trump dijo que el país estaba “muy bien” en un mitin en Pensilvania.\n\n\n“Nos llevamos de maravilla. Quienes lo dirigen son nuestra gente, son gente estupenda. Y la gente está contenta en el país. Sonríen. Antes eran miserables, se morían de hambre”, afirmó Trump.\n\n\nTrump también aseguró que Estados Unidos ya ha “pagado el costo de la guerra 28 veces” al extraer millones de barriles de petróleo. “Ahora estamos ganando mucho dinero con Venezuela y a Venezuela le va de maravilla”.\n\n\nTras el terremoto, Trump afirmó en una publicación en Truth Social a última hora del miércoles que Estados Unidos “está preparado, dispuesto y capacitado para ayudar”.\n\n\n“He dado instrucciones a todas las agencias de nuestro Gobierno para que se preparen para actuar con rapidez”, escribió Trump. “Estaremos ahí para nuestros nuevos y grandes amigos”.\n\n\nEl secretario de Estado, Marco Rubio, afirmó que Estados Unidos desplegaría de inmediato equipos de búsqueda y rescate, recursos médicos y asistencia humanitaria en Venezuela.\n\n\nMuchos en Venezuela estarán ahora a la espera de ver si esas promesas de la nación más rica del mundo se convertirán en acciones concretas.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

El presidente fue elegido dos veces. Es innegable que hablaba en nombre de decenas de millones de personas que creían que el sistema político y la economía los habían dejado atrás y que, cultural y socialmente, el país se inclinaba demasiado hacia la izquierda.\n\n\nMuchos de sus logros, según expuso el miércoles, gozan de popularidad entre sus seguidores, como la seguridad en la frontera sur y una nueva ley de reducción de impuestos.\n\n\nIndependientemente de su opinión sobre la guerra en Irán, la mayoría de los estadounidenses se sumarían a sus elogios a las fuerzas armadas.\n\n\nY algunos residentes de Washington, una ciudad abrumadoramente liberal, también aprecian sus esfuerzos por hacer que sus calles sean más seguras y su labor de limpieza de estatuas, aunque les horroriza su esperpéntica renovación del Estanque Reflectante en el National Mall y su propuesta de arco triunfal.\n\n\nSin embargo, millones de estadounidenses que celebran el 250 aniversario de la Declaración de Independencia no son votantes de MAGA.\n\n\nLos presidentes, si bien son elegidos por sus partidos, también desempeñan un papel cívico más importante en las conmemoraciones nacionales significativas.\n\n\nEl discurso del miércoles por la noche no fue la última palabra de Trump en el aniversario de Estados Unidos. Dijo que “su presidente favorito” hablará en el National Mall el 4 de julio, así que aún podría intentar unir al país.\n\n\nPero una de las pruebas de su acto inaugural era si un ciudadano que no fuera un ferviente admirador de Trump se sentiría bienvenido.\n\n\nSu autoexaltación, su defensa de políticas controvertidas como la guerra en Irán, el desmantelamiento de los programas de diversidad, equidad e inclusión, y las redadas de inmigrantes llevadas a cabo por agentes del ICE sugieren que la respuesta es no.\n\n\nMuchos estadounidenses se sentirían ofendidos por un presidente cuyos abusos de poder a menudo han puesto a prueba la Constitución, y que adopta aires monárquicos al compararse con los fundadores que lanzaron una revolución contra un rey tiránico.\n\n\n“Al igual que aquellos patriotas de 1776, en los últimos 17 meses hemos recuperado el poder de manos de la lejana clase política”, manifestó Trump. “Hemos reclamado nuestra soberanía, recuperado nuestra libertad, restaurado nuestra prosperidad y salvado a nuestro país en todos los aspectos”.\n\n\nEl tono de Trump contrastó con la actitud de la anterior Casa Blanca al conmemorar un hito de la Independencia.\n\n\nEn el bicentenario de 1976, el presidente Gerald Ford evitó en gran medida la política.\n\n\nSu entonces asesor principal, David Gergen, recomendó en un memorando de la Casa Blanca que, si bien los actos conmemorativos necesariamente abordarían principios e instituciones políticas y económicas, no debería haber eufemismos de campaña ni insinuaciones partidistas de ningún tipo.\n\n\nTrump no conmemora el 250 aniversario de la independencia en un vacío.\n\n\nEl mandatario lleva menos de dos años protagonizando uno de los intentos más agresivos de un presidente por ejercer el poder ejecutivo.\n\n\nSu convicción de que su autoridad debe ser incuestionable quedó patente unas horas antes de su discurso, en una tensa reunión con senadores republicanos, donde arremetió contra los miembros que votaron a favor de limitar sus poderes bélicos tras el conflicto con Irán.\n\n\nTambién exigió al Congreso la aprobación de una ley de registro de votantes de gran alcance que, según muchos críticos, restringiría las libertades democráticas que se remontan a la revolución.\n\n\nLa Gran Feria Estatal Americana, que se celebra en la explanada de Washington, tiene como objetivo mostrar la riqueza de todo el país, incluso si algunos estados gobernados por demócratas se han retirado. Pero el discurso de Trump tuvo un enfoque más limitado.\n\n\nCabría esperar que un evento que celebra el progreso de la nación desde 1776 destacara a líderes de todo el espectro político, mostrara la diversidad racial, religiosa, cultural y de opiniones del país, y reafirmara los principios fundamentales que trascienden las preocupaciones políticas contemporáneas.\n\n\nSin embargo, Trump solo presentó a miembros de su gabinete, quienes a menudo se han distinguido por sus demostraciones públicas de lealtad hacia él y hacia el presidente republicano de la Cámara de Representantes, Mike Johnson.\n\n\nReforzando esta sensación de exclusión, concluyó, no con las palabras de George Washington, Thomas Jefferson o John Adams, sino con el estribillo que le resultaba familiar de cientos de sus propios mítines de campaña.\n\n\n“Esta noche nos preparamos para entrar en nuestro 250 aniversario. Estamos más decididos que nunca a recordar estas frases: Haremos que Estados Unidos vuelva a ser fuerte. Haremos que Estados Unidos vuelva a estar orgulloso. Haremos que Estados Unidos vuelva a ser seguro y haremos que Estados Unidos vuelva a ser grande”, indicó.\n\n\nY concluyó: “Feliz cumpleaños, Estados Unidos”.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

El resultado final fue de 47 votos a favor, 50 en contra y 1 abstención.\n\n\nTrump celebró la votación en Truth Social, señalando los cambios de Paul y Cassidy y escribiendo: “¡Esta votación pone a Irán en alerta!”.\n\n\nEl miércoles por la mañana, durante un tenso almuerzo de senadores republicanos con Trump, Cassidy se enfrentó al presidente en lo referente a Irán, diciéndole que seguiría votando a favor de las medidas que otorgan poderes de guerra hasta que el Congreso y el pueblo estadounidense reciban más información sobre el conflicto.\n\n\n“Me puse de pie y dije: ‘No le han dicho al pueblo estadounidense lo que está pasando. Se suponía que duraría cuatro semanas, pero ya han pasado cuatro meses. No hemos alcanzado nuestros objetivos iniciales y quiero saber qué está sucediendo’”, declaró Cassidy a los periodistas tras la reunión.\n\n\nPero más tarde, el miércoles, el republicano de Louisiana dijo haber recibido una “sesión informativa exhaustiva” del vicepresidente J.D. Vance y del enviado especial Steve Witkoff sobre Irán.\n\n\n“Quiero agradecer al vicepresidente Vance y al enviado especial Witkoff por la completa sesión informativa de esta tarde sobre Irán. Agradezco la rápida invitación a la Casa Blanca para abordar muchas de mis inquietudes”, publicó en X.\n\n\nPaul, republicano de Kentucky, escribió el miércoles en X que su opinión sobre la guerra no había cambiado, pero que Trump “me pidió que tuviera en cuenta su postura negociadora”.\n\n\n“Mi opinión sobre el debate en torno a la guerra y el poder ejecutivo no ha cambiado y he votado en ese sentido en varias ocasiones. Pero dado que las hostilidades parecen haber terminado y el presidente me pidió que considerara su postura negociadora, así lo haré. Mi abstención es una forma de darle al presidente más margen de maniobra para negociar una paz duradera”, escribió.\n\n\nDurante la reunión en el Capitolio, Trump también criticó a los senadores republicanos Dave McCormick y Mitch McConnell por no haber asistido a la votación del martes. Sin embargo, McConnell permanece hospitalizado, y McCormick viajaba en el Air Force One con el presidente rumbo a un evento en Pensilvania durante la votación.\n\n\nLa votación del miércoles marca la undécima vez que el Senado vota sobre una medida relativa a los poderes de guerra de Irán desde principios de año.\n\n\nEsta resolución fue aprobada en comisión el mes pasado, en otra ocasión debido a la ausencia de los republicanos, pero los demócratas prefirieron esperar para impulsar una segunda votación y asegurarse así de contar con el apoyo necesario para su aprobación.\n\n\n Los republicanos la sometieron a votación el miércoles por la noche, con la esperanza de poder rechazarla.\n\n\nTrump ha arremetido contra los republicanos que han respaldado diversas resoluciones sobre los poderes de guerra contra Irán.\n\n\nDespués de que la Cámara de Representantes aprobara una resolución concurrente por 215 votos a favor y 208 en contra a principios de este mes, con cuatro republicanos de la Cámara votando con los demócratas, Trump calificó a los republicanos de “oportunistas” y su acción de “antipatriótica” en una publicación en Truth Social.\n\n\nY después de que el Senado también aprobara la resolución concurrente el martes, por 50 votos a favor y 48 en contra, Trump llamó “perdedores” a los cuatro senadores republicanos que la respaldaron, y agregó: “Estos senadores solo me han hecho el trabajo más difícil”.\n\n\nAlgunos senadores demócratas, entre ellos Tim Kaine de Virginia, han argumentado que la aprobación de una resolución sobre poderes de guerra es necesaria, incluso después de que Estados Unidos alcanzara un acuerdo preliminar con Irán.\n\n\n“Creo que es un buen momento para someter a votación la idea de que, si realmente estamos en un período de cierta estabilidad, no permitamos que todo vuelva a empezar sin que el Congreso participe en esa decisión”, declaró a los periodistas la semana pasada.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

They add they could be particularly worrying for Taiwan, the self-ruled island China has vowed to “reunify” with one day – by force if necessary.\n\n\nThe flurry of maritime maneuvers followed a visit to Beijing by US President Donald Trump that was full of bonhomie, but which Chinese leader Xi Jinping also used to make one thing very clear: the biggest issue that could derail US-China relations was Taiwan.\n\n\nEarlier this month three vessels from the China’s Maritime Safety Agency (MSA) a civilian law enforcement organization sailed through the Bashi Channel between the Philippines and Taiwan to begin law enforcement and mapping activities in waters east of Taiwan.\n\n\nObservers say it’s the first time MSA vessels have been observed east of the “First Island Chain” that stretches from southern Japan through Taiwan and the Philippines and along the edges of the southern South China Sea along Borneo to Singapore.\n\n\nRay Powell, director of the SeaLight project at Stanford University’s Gordian Knot Center for National Security Innovation, which focuses on China’s gray-zone tactics, called it the “Bashi Breakout.”\n\n\nBeijing “is essentially saying we have jurisdiction over this area on the other side of the First Island Chain. That’s pretty significant,” he told CNN.\n\n\n“This is the first time we’ve seen them make some kind of a sovereignty patrol outside of the 9-Dash/10-Dash Line,” Powell told CNN. That line refers to Beijing’s controversial claim over the majority of the South China Sea that its neighbors hotly dispute and which in 2016 the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague ruled had no legal basis.\n\n\nBeijing was trying to “create new facts on the water,” he told CNN.\n\n\nChina’s state-run tabloid Global Times called the movement of the MSA ships “a sovereignty declaration with both legal significance and political signaling.”\n\n\nTaiwan challenge\n\n\n\nMuch of that signaling will have been aimed at Taiwan and its 23 million people.\n\n\nThrough Yuyuan Tantian – a semi-official social media account run by China’s national broadcaster that Beijing often uses to leak out information to gauge international reaction – China said that its MSA vessels had mapped the seabed east of Taiwan for the first time.\n\n\nThat pushed back on foreign assertions that China lacks the ability to exert its authority over the waters, the account said in a post.\n\n\n“The waters east of Taiwan Island will constitute our ‘nearshore waters’ — the very waters where we maintain a presence and exercise jurisdiction and governance,” it said.\n\n\nTaiwan President Lai Ching-te said the reasons behind the MSA mission were clear:\n\n\n“Their (Beijing’s) real objective is to expand,” he said.\n\n\nA Taiwanese security official said Beijing was using the MSA ships to try to create a false impression that it has de facto jurisdiction over Taiwan.\n\n\nLai said that Beijing continues to “innovate” ways to advance its territorial claims and threaten Taiwan and Indo-Pacific countries.\n\n\n“China’s threats towards Taiwan know no limits,” he told reporters at a recent briefing.\n\n\nRegarding the waters east of Taiwan, China made its first slice of that salami in 2023, when it expanded the so-called 9-Dash Line that encompassed its claims in the South China Sea to 10 dashes, with the 10th being east of Taiwan.\n\n\nThe People’s Liberation Army Navy has in the past conducted exercises east of Taiwan, but analysts say in the long term, the MSA ships and non-military vessels like them may be the bigger threat to the status quo because they seem less threatening.\n\n\nEssentially, the MSA vessels perform policing roles to enforce environmental and maritime regulations.\n\n\n“I think that’s their near-term target… to establish themselves as the constabulary” of the sea approaches to Taiwan, Powell said.\n\n\nDuring the recent sailing, the Chinese MSA ships did issue radio challenges to commercial vessels heading to Taiwan, the island’s coast guard has said.\n\n\nThe next step – the “tightening of the boa constrictor” – could be to actually stop those vessels or force them into Chinese ports before they can go onto Taiwan, Powell said.\n\n\nTargeting ships like liquid natural gas (LNG) carriers could send an ominous message to Taipei – which relies on imports for almost all of its energy needs – he said.\n\n\n“Something to let Taiwan know we can starve you out when it comes to LNG,” and let that slowly progress to the point where Beijing can control Taiwan’s energy imports, according to Powell.\n\n\nAdditionally, the “nearshore waters” designation floated by the Yuyuan Tantian account, if made by an official government agency, could mean China could treat these waters as sovereign territory, experts said.\n\n\n“Foreign vessels have no right of entry without permission of the nation with sovereignty over these near-shore waters, said Carl Schuster, a former director of the US Pacific Command’s Joint Intelligence Center.\n\n\nForeign powers with interests in Taiwan are taking notice.\n\n\n“China’s actions are deeply destabilizing,” ​a US State Department spokesperson said regarding reports that Chinese Coast Guard vessels were harassing commercial ships, Reuters reported.\n\n\nAnd Britain, France and Germany, in a rare joint statement from their de facto embassies in Taipei, expressed “concern” over “novel Chinese activity in the waters east of Taiwan.”\n\n\n“These actions threaten regional stability and the freedom of navigation and safety of international shipping,” said the statement from the European powers, which, like the US, do not have formal diplomatic ties to Taiwan.\n\n\nSchuster said the mapping operation off Taiwan has military implications, too.\n\n\n“It will improve the PLA Navy’s ability to operate its submarines and task groups in those waters. It will also give them a very accurate picture of the undersea cables, any exploitable resources and bottom features that China can exploit to advantage,” Schuster said.\n\n\nThe analysts said recent talks between Japan and the Philippines over overlapping claims in their exclusive economic zones east of Taiwan may have been the impetus for the MSA mission east of Tawain.\n\n\nPowell said China has such operations lined up and planned well in advance and waits for such triggering events.\n\n\n“Beijing sensed an opportunity, and moved quickly to call the talks completely illegal and void,” he wrote on the SeaLight blog.\n\n\nThe Taiwanese security official echoed that sentiment.\n\n\nOver the last decade, China has taken advantage of multiple strategic windows and engaged in expansionist military and gray-zone activities in the Yellow Sea, East China Sea, Taiwan Strait and South China Sea, they said.\n\n\n“It will be a grave misreading if you only look at China’s regional activities through the lenses” of China-Taiwan tensions, the official said, adding that Japan and the Philippines are bearing the brunt of Beijing’s regional ambitions, too.\n\n\nCNN has asked China’s MSA for comment.\n\n\n‘Research vessel ruse’\n\n\n\nIn the South China Sea, the recent focus has been on Scarborough Shoal, an uninhabited rock with a central lagoon 140 miles (220 kilometers) west of the main Philippine island of Luzon and around 530 miles from China’s Hainan province.\n\n\nThe feature sits well within the Philippines EEZ, but is effectively controlled by China, which has maintained an almost constant Coast Guard presence near it since 2012, according to the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.\n\n\nRecently, a small floating structure appeared on satellite photos near the entrance to the lagoon, raising alarm in and protests from the Philippines. The South China Sea tribunal in 2016 in the Hague has ruled that China cannot legally occupy the shoal.\n\n\nLater pictures showed the structure being towed within the lagoon.\n\n\nChina claimed the floating structure was conducting maritime research before saying it had been withdrawn last week. Powell tends to agree with China’s explanation – for now.\n\n\nBut they could eventually move on to something larger and permanent, he said.\n\n\nThat’s the worry of Philippine Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro, who told the Financial Times last week China has used the research vessel ruse before, pointing to the string of South China Sea islands and atolls that have been turned into military bases, despite a pledge from leader Xi Jinping during a 2015 visit to the White House not to do so.\n\n\n“If they … lied before, they can lie now,” Teodoro told the FT.\n\n\nMeanwhile, the US Embassy in Manila on Tuesday said it was giving the Philippines four sea-going drones worth $13 million, in part to help the country “monitor and respond to maritime challenges,” including “gray-zone activities and threats to freedom of navigation.”\n\n\nProtests from Washington and other capitals didn’t slow China’s island buildup, and Beijing has learned from that experience, Powell said.\n\n\n“We can slice a piece off the salami and that sets conditions for the next piece. This is their opportunity to slice off that little piece,” he said of the actions east of Taiwan.\n\n\nPowell says the possibility of concrete action by the MSA or the China Coast Guard to keep ships from calling in Taiwan, or construction of new facilities on Scarborough Shoal, is “the thing that would keep me up at night.”\n\n\n“My fear would be that the response from others would be a shrug,” he said.\n\n\nAnd that may mean the last piece of salami has been sliced.\n\n\nAdvantage China.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

That pessimism is largely bipartisan: while Republicans currently take a slightly less dispirited view than Democrats, one-quarter or fewer across party lines think the founders would be pleased.\n\n\nGallup has been asking this question intermittently since 1999, and the latest reading is the most pessimistic yet.\n\n\n“While it’s hard to know what the founders would make of America today, the poll is in keeping with a generally sour mood among the public today. Polls routinely show widespread dissatisfaction with the current state of the country.\n\n\nPresidential historian Tim Naftali, however, thinks that if the signers of the declaration could witness the United States today, they’d mostly be astonished.\n\n\n“Our language is the same, our principles are the same, but this country is far more powerful, far more diverse, far richer in many respects than I think they could have ever imagined,” he said. “We have surpassed the outer reaches of the most imaginative of them … I’m sure they would just find us rather fascinating.”\n\n\nThe public’s view isn’t all negative. Around 7 in 10 Americans say that, over the past 250 years, the country has had at least a fair amount of success in achieving its founding ideals.\n\n\nOther findings from recent polls offer insight to how Americans see themselves and their country ahead of the semiquincentennial celebrations.\n\n\nAmericans view the US with a conflicting mix of pride and concern. In a Marquette Law School poll also released Wednesday, 66% of Americans say they’re at least somewhat proud of who we are as a country, but just over half say they’re optimistic about the nation’s future as a democracy. And in a Fox News poll, voters are more likely to consider themselves patriotic than they are to say they’re proud of the country today.\n\n\nThe public is almost universal in calling the right to vote and freedom of speech key to the country’s national identity, per an AP-NORC poll. But just under half – including a majority of Democrats – see that freedom of speech as facing major threats.\n\n\nPessimism about the country’s direction isn’t new, but it may be growing. In a recent NBC survey, just 38% of US adults say they’re confident that the United States’ best years still lie ahead, down from 45% in a 1990 survey. And 78% of US adults say that the American Dream is harder to attain now than it was a generation ago, although that’s not dissimilar from the 72% who said the same in a Roper poll taken more than 30 years ago.\n\n\n(Nostalgia for the country’s earliest days isn’t new either – in a 1947 Gallup poll, 13% of Americans said that the signing of the declaration was the US historical event they’d most like to have been present for – the most popular choice and more than tripling the share who’d have preferred to witnessed either the Gettysburg address or the Japanese surrender in World War II.)\n\n\nBeing an American means different things to different people. In Ipsos polling earlier this year, half of US adults, including most of those age 45 and older, said that being an American is an important part of how they think about themselves. A majority of younger adults, by contrast, said it wasn’t something they thought much about.\n\n\nOverall, 58% said it was important to discuss the nation’s successes and strengths, with an identical 58% also saying it’s important to discuss the country’s flaws and failures.\n\n\nThis year’s Independence Day celebrations are more polarizing than in the past. President Donald Trump has put his mark on the country’s 250th birthday plans. Per Marquette, 57% of Americans say they’re at least fairly interested in the commemoration. That’s similar to the share who expressed interest in the festivities in a Roper poll 50 years ago, ahead of the 200th anniversary of the declaration. But while there was no real partisan gap in 1976, Republicans today are 33 points likelier than Democrats to say they’re interested.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Rand Paul and Bill Cassidy, who had previously voted to rein in the president’s war powers on Iran, changed their votes; Paul voted present and Cassidy voted against advancing the resolution. GOP Sens. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski once again voted for the resolution, while Democratic Sen. John Fetterman again voted against it. The final tally was 47-50-1.\n\n\nTrump welcomed the vote on Truth Social, noting Paul’s and Cassidy’s shifts and writing, “This vote puts Iran on notice!”\n\n\nEarlier Wednesday at a tense Senate GOP lunch with Trump, Cassidy went toe-to-toe with the president on Iran, telling him he would continue voting for war powers measures until Congress and the American people are given more information on the conflict.\n\n\n“I stood and said, ‘You have not told the American people what’s going on. It was supposed to last four weeks, it’s lasted four months. Our original objectives have not been achieved, and I want to know what’s going on,” Cassidy told reporters after the meeting.\n\n\nBut later Wednesday, the Louisiana Republican said he’d received a “thorough briefing” from Vice President JD Vance and special envoy Steve Witkoff on Iran.\n\n\n“I want to thank Vice President Vance and Special Envoy Witkoff for the thorough briefing this afternoon on Iran. I appreciate the quick invitation to the White House to address many of my concerns,” he posted on X.\n\n\nPaul, a Kentucky Republican, wrote on X Wednesday that his opinion on the war hadn’t changed but that Trump “asked me to give consideration to his negotiating position.”\n\n\n“My opinion on the debate over war and executive power has not changed and I have voted that way several times. But since hostilities seem to be over and the President asked me to give consideration to his negotiating position, I will do so. My vote of present is a way to give the President more space and leverage to negotiate a lasting peace,” he wrote.\n\n\nDuring the Capitol Hill meeting, Trump also criticized GOP Sens. Dave McCormick and Mitch McConnell for missing Tuesday’s vote. However, McConnell remains hospitalized, and McCormick was on Air Force One with the president en route to an event in Pennsylvania during the vote.\n\n\nWednesday’s vote marks the 11th time the Senate has voted on an Iran war powers measure since the beginning of the year. This resolution was discharged from committee in a floor vote last month, in another case of GOP absences, but Democrats wanted to wait to push for a follow-up vote to ensure they had the support to pass it. Republicans brought it to the floor Wednesday night, hopeful that they could defeat the measure.\n\n\nTrump has laid into Republicans who’ve backed various Iran war powers resolutions. After the House adopted a concurrent resolution 215 to 208 earlier this month, with four House Republicans voting with Democrats, Trump called the Republicans “GRANDSTANDERS” and their action “unpatriotic” in a post on Truth Social. And after the Senate also adopted the concurrent resolution on Tuesday, 50-48, Trump called the four Senate Republicans who backed it “losers,” adding, “These Senators have just made my job more difficult.”\n\n\nSome Democratic senators, including Tim Kaine of Virginia, have argued that passage of a war powers resolution is necessary, even after the US reached a preliminary agreement with Iran.\n\n\n“I think it’s a good time to have the vote to say, ‘Hey, if we’re really in a period of maybe some stability here, let’s not just allow it to start up again without Congress being involved in that decision,” he told reporters last week.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Today, that opportunity is staring us in the face in the form of artificial intelligence  data centers.\n\n\n\nMia Petersen\n\n\n\nIt’s no secret that AI is rapidly transforming the global economy on a scale not seen since the rise of the Internet. Companies are currently investing billions in data centers and choosing where to put their home bases. The question is will New Mexico embrace this opportunity or allow it to pass by?\n\n\n\nUnfortunately, a handful of New Mexico political officials are choosing the latter, considering moratoriums or restrictions on new data center development. They should be careful not to let fear get in the way of progress. Especially when considering that New Mexico has a disproportionate advantage to benefit from the current AI infrastructure boom due to its current assets. \n\n\n\nThe state is already a hub of scientific innovation thanks to Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories. It is also home to world-class research institutions, growing engineering programs, and a workforce increasingly equipped to participate in advanced technology industries. The question is, why would we not encourage data centers to choose New Mexico as their home so we can build on this solid foundation?\n\n\n\nThe economic benefits of capitalizing on this technology will prove to be monumental. \n\n\n\nConsider Project Jupiter in Doña Ana County. The initiative is expected to create thousands of construction jobs and support thousands more ongoing positions in broader economic activity. OpenAI, Oracle and their partners are investing in an ecosystem that can attract additional businesses, suppliers, contractors and technology workers. \n\n\n\nThe value of AI infrastructure extends beyond the facilities themselves. Technology companies tend to cluster around critical infrastructure, research institutions, and skilled workforces. When those ingredients come together, they create the conditions for startup formation, new university partnerships, increased venture investment and long-term innovation-driven growth. New Mexico’s longest-standing economic challenges: talent retention.\n\n\n\nEvery year, New Mexico universities produce talented engineers, software developers and scientists. Too many leave because the state’s technology sector remains smaller than those in neighboring states. Expanding AI infrastructure can help create the kind of technology ecosystem that gives those graduates a reason to stay.\n\n\n\nYes, communities deserve thoughtful planning and transparency, and companies should work with local stakeholders to address legitimate concerns about energy use, water resources and infrastructure needs.\n\n\n\nBut Project Jupiter and other existing state AI construction programs have already done just this. They handled such concerns from the community very seriously and came to terms with thoughtful solutions to ensure that the citizenry’s interests remained protected. \n\n\n\nThe unfortunate truth is that some activists in the state don’t want to have conversations on how to ensure these data centers are developed responsibly — they just don’t want them developed at all under any circumstances.\n\n\n\nStates across the Southwest understand what is at stake. Arizona, Texas, Nevada and Utah are aggressively competing for technology investment because they recognize that AI infrastructure will help shape the economic geography of the next several decades. New Mexico can compete for those opportunities as well or it can watch them go elsewhere.\n\n\n\nFor a state that has spent years searching for ways to strengthen its economy, create high-paying jobs, and retain its brightest minds, the choice seems obvious. New Mexico should welcome responsible AI infrastructure investment and position itself as a leader in the industries of the future.\n\n\n\nMia Petersen of Albuquerque is an AI and tech policy analyst.

A final vote on the changes is expected Friday.\n\n\n\nNearly 500 people signed up to testify in a hearing that at several points turned contentious, with heated exchanges between speakers and the removal of at least one person deemed out of order by the board chair. \n\n\n\nThe social studies proposal represents a dramatic transformation in how Texas schools have long administered lessons on history, geography, economics and government. It eliminates the current sixth-grade world cultures course, deemphasizes world history outside of European tradition and dedicates more focus to Texas and the United States.\n\n\n\nThe statewide reading list would require, among other literary works, that schools teach Bible stories to children as young as 6 years old up to young adults preparing to receive their diplomas.\n\n\n\nIf approved by the education board this week, both changes would take effect during the 2030-31 school year.\n\n\n\nConservative Republican leaders and activists champion the new lessons, which they view as “the final battle” in a push to rid Texas schools of instruction they say paints America in a negative light and trains students to hate the country.\n\n\n\nSociology classes, for example, currently require students to understand “the impact of race and ethnicity on society” and “analyze the varying treatment patterns of minority groups.” But that standard does not exist in the new proposed social studies plan.\n\n\n\nRepublican leaders across the state often depict Islam as a violent religion they view as incompatible with their conservative Christian American values. During the board’s April meetings, the board eliminated a social studies standard that would have required students to learn about Muslim contributions to algebra and astronomy.\n\n\n\n“Let me be very clear: Islam is not a religion,” Sen. Bob Hall, R-Edgewood, testified before the education board on Monday. “It is a totalitarian theocracy, not unlike totalitarian systems of communism, Nazism and globalism.”\n\n\n\nAsked if he had ever visited a Muslim-majority country, Hall responded no. \n\n\n\nElizabeth Jensen, who identified herself as a Texas school board trustee but did not specify the district, told the education panel that she believes “slavery was and still is fundamental to Sharia,” referring to the set of moral codes and principles that Muslims follow. Sharia does not have a uniform meaning, as Muslims interpret and act upon it differently. \n\n\n\nMuslims have spent months denouncing such Islamophobia at State Board of Education meetings, calling it misinformation and harmful to the hundreds of thousands of Texans who practice the faith. \n\n\n\nMeanwhile, students, educators and progressive activists spoke out in opposition to the lack of racial, ethnic and gender inclusion in the debated books and lessons, as well as the state’s Christian focus over other religions. \n\n\n\n“These proposed standards actually defy the Constitution and highlight only one group of Americans as the founders who built this country to the exclusion of others — both in the past and in the present,” Ruth Nasrullah, a Muslim speaker, told the board members.\n\n\n\nEnglish teachers stressed during the meeting that many of the books on the proposed reading list do not align with what Texas requires them to teach, despite taking up most of roughly 36 weeks of instructional time in an academic year.   \n\n\n\nOn the other hand, educators criticize how the social studies proposal prioritizes memorization over critical thinking and simplification over accuracy. Historians call attention to factual errors, saying the new standards would set children up for failure post-graduation. \n\n\n\nOne lesson, for example, describes the forced relocation and imprisonment of Japanese families during World War II as one of the “contributions” to America’s military effort. Another proposal notes that high school students should know the significance of leaders in the Civil Rights Movement, specifying Thurgood Marshall, Barbara Jordan and Hector P. Garcia — but not Martin Luther King Jr. \n\n\n\nA panel of nine advisers guided the social studies overhaul, almost all of whom hold no Texas K-12 classroom experience and several of whom have ties to conservative activism.\nThe post Texas board to vote on Bible lessons, sweeping social studies changes appeared first on El Paso Matters.","url":"https://elpasomatters.org/2026/06/23/texas-votes-bible-social-studies-history-lessons-public-schools/","source":"El Paso Matters","author":"Texas Tribune","publishDate":"2026-06-23T13:15:47.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi0.wp.com%2Felpasomatters.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2F20260622-SBOE-MEETING-AG-06-e1782220426532.webp%3Ffit%3D1024%252C683%26ssl%3D1","slug":"texas-board-to-vote-on-bible-lessons-sweeping-social-studies-changes"},{"id":"k60vb9","title":"Cynthia Boyar Trejo Faces Recall Over META Vote","excerpt":"EL PASO, Tx., June 19, 2026: On Wednesday, a Notice to Recall District 4 City Representative Cynthia Boyar Trejo was filed with the El Paso City Clerks office.

Beltran, CNN en Español\n\n\nHan transcurrido casi seis meses de 2026 y Rolling Stone publicó su lista de mitad de año con las mejores canciones lanzadas hasta el momento. Varios artistas latinos lograron hacerse un lugar en el ranking.\n\n\nKarol G fue reconocida gracias a “Después de ti”, tema que lanzó a finales de abril junto a Greg Gonzalez, líder de la banda Cigarettes After Sex. La balada fue presentada por la colombiana durante el festival Coachella, donde hizo historia al convertirse en la primera artista latina en encabezar el evento.\n\n\nYoung Miko también consiguió un espacio en la lista con “BIAF”, una canción que combina inglés y español y que la publicación describe como impulsada por un “ritmo sensual”. El tema acumula más de 23 millones de reproducciones en Spotify.\n\n\nPor su parte, “Tonto”, la colaboración de los colombianos J Balvin y Ryan Castro junto al productor francés DJ Snake, figura entre las mejores canciones de la primera mitad de 2026. El sencillo forma parte de “Omerta”, el álbum colaborativo de J Balvin y DJ Snake lanzado a comienzos de mayo. Rolling Stone destacó la incorporación de sonidos y ritmos colombianos, así como referencias al clásico “Jump” de Kriss Kross.\n\n\nEl argentino Trueno también fue incluido en el listado gracias a “The Manifesto”, su colaboración con Gorillaz y Proof. La canción mezcla inglés y español y fue elogiada por su estribillo enérgico y por una letra que transmite un mensaje de optimismo frente al futuro.\n\n\nEntre los demás artistas que aparecen en la selección figuran Bruno Mars con “I Just Might”, Lana Del Rey con “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter” y Halsey con “Afraid of the Dark”, entre otros.\n\n\nEn los primeros puestos del ranking aparecen Ella Langley, en el tercer lugar, con “Choosing Texas”, una canción de estilo country destacada por su tono melancólico y sus guitarras; Bruce Springsteen, en el segundo puesto, con “Streets of Minneapolis”; y Charli XCX, que encabeza la lista con “SS26”. Este último tema hace referencia a las colecciones de primavera-verano de 2026 y formará parte de “Music, Fashion, Film”, el próximo álbum de estudio de la artista británica, cuyo lanzamiento está previsto para el 24 de julio.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Marshall III, director de la Oficina Federal de Prisiones (BOP, por sus siglas en inglés), en Macon el miércoles.\n\n\n“Una actividad de esta naturaleza amenaza la seguridad de todos los que viven y trabajan dentro de nuestras instalaciones y no será tolerada”, dijo.\n\n\nLa Oficina de Prisiones utilizó sistemas de detección de drones que alertaron a las autoridades con datos que incluían las marcas, los modelos y ubicaciones de lanzamiento de vuelo de las aeronaves no tripuladas para ayudar a identificar a los involucrados en el esquema de alta tecnología, que, según las autoridades, rastrearon entre 2023 y 2026.\n\n\nEl 10 de junio, un jurado investigador en el Distrito Medio de Georgia imputó a doce acusados por cargos federales, incluyendo tráfico para la distribución de drogas y armas de fuego. Se los acusa de encabezar el sofisticado esquema de contrabando con drones en diez prisiones federales en Georgia, Virginia Occidental, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, Louisiana, Alabama y Mississippi.\n\n\n“Se mueven rápido, actúan de manera remota, es un desafío para las autoridades”, dijo Keyes. “Pero creo que lo que este caso demuestra es que tenemos la velocidad necesaria para abordar este problema. Esta es una investigación muy sofisticada, un problema muy complejo”.\n\n\nA principios de este año, 21 fiscales generales lanzaron una iniciativa multiestatal para combatir lo que describieron como un aumento “alarmante” de drones que dejan caer contrabando ilegalmente en prisiones, incluyendo narcóticos, armas y teléfonos celulares. En una carta a l Gobierno de Trump, la coalición de fiscales generales dijo que, bajo la ley federal actual, solo un conjunto limitado de agencias están “autorizadas para detectar, rastrear y mitigar drones no autorizados. Es decir, los funcionarios penitenciarios a menudo carecen de la autoridad legal y de las herramientas necesarias para intervenir en tiempo real”.\n\n\nEn mayo, funcionarios de la Casa Blanca reconocieron que en el pasado el Gobierno federal “no actuó con la urgencia suficiente” para enfrentar el aumento de drones que transportan contrabando a prisiones federales. En una carta enviada a los fiscales generales estatales, el Gobierno de Trump dijo que la Ley de Cielos Más Seguros de Trump — firmada el pasado diciembre — marca la primera vez que se ha proporcionado a las agencias estatales y locales los recursos adecuados para desactivar e interrumpir drones no autorizados, al proporcionar US$ 500 millones en subvenciones de la Agencia Federal para el Manejo de Emergencias (FEMA, por sus siglas en inglés), desarrollar nuevos programas de capacitación del FBI y lanzar una oficina del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional destinada a frenar la amenaza.\n\n\nEl miércoles, la agente especial a cargo del FBI en Atlanta, Marlo Graham, dijo que los drones que entregan contrabando siguen siendo un grave problema de seguridad pública para las autoridades, que pone en peligro tanto a las prisiones como a las comunidades.\n\n\n“Para poner este problema en perspectiva, hay que decir que algunos casos de contrabando con drones en prisiones estatales y federales han sido tan frecuentes que las instalaciones parecen un pequeño aeropuerto por la noche”, dijo Graham.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

En una publicación en redes sociales el sábado, declaró que hasta que esos vándalos “tomaron algún tipo de cuchillo o cuchilla y realizaron un corte de 250 pies de largo en la hermosa fachada”, su versión del estanque “funcionaba perfectamente”.\n\n\nEsa afirmación es, en el mejor de los casos, dudosa, incluso dejando de lado la ausencia actual de pruebas públicas sobre la acusación de Trump de que vándalos armados con cuchillas causaron ese daño. No ha habido un período prolongado desde que el estanque se rellenó a comienzos de junio en el que luciera impecable. Las algas eran visibles apenas días después de que se volviera a llenar y continuaron apareciendo incluso después de que el Gobierno de Trump declarara que el agua había quedado “cristalina”.\n\n\nThe New York Times informó este martes que documentos internos del Gobierno mostraban que, “aunque trabajadores del Servicio de Parques Nacionales encontraron dos cortes en secciones de espuma entre las juntas de expansión del estanque, estos no estaban directamente relacionados con el revestimiento color ‘azul bandera estadounidense’ que ahora se está desprendiendo, ni con las algas que han teñido el estanque de un brillante tono verde”.\n\n\nTrump alimentó el escepticismo sobre la existencia de la supuesta “hendidura” al modificar con frecuencia su descripción del daño. El sábado habló de una hendidura de 250 pies (76 metros), el lunes de una de 300 pies (91 metros), más tarde ese mismo día, de una abertura de 350 pies y el martes afirmó que se trataba de “numerosos cortes a lo largo de una extensión muy larga de 350 pies (107 metros)”. Según The New York Times, los documentos internos sí mencionaban dos cortes de 171 pies (52 metros) hechos con una cuchilla, lo que acercaría el total a la cifra de 350 pies (107 metros) utilizada por Trump. Sin embargo, añadió el periódico, los documentos no hacían ninguna afirmación sobre cómo esos cortes terminaron en el estanque.\n\n\nLa noche del martes, Fox News emitió un video proporcionado por el Departamento del Interior que, según el organismo, mostraba a personas vandalizando el estanque. Las imágenes parecían mostrar a dos personas de pie fuera del borde del estanque que luego se inclinaban o agachaban para alcanzar el costado durante varios segundos, mientras otras personas caminaban a su alrededor. Sin embargo, no está claro en el video qué estaban haciendo exactamente. Aunque el departamento aseguró a Fox News que las imágenes muestran a personas “destruyendo y retirando una parte del revestimiento e intentando destruir el revestimiento”, incluso el presentador Jesse Watters dijo: “No sabemos si están cometiendo un delito”. En cualquier caso, el video ciertamente no muestra la creación de dos cortes de 171 pies (52 metros).\n\n\nCNN seguirá buscando información sobre el presunto acto de vandalismo. Pero, independientemente de las afirmaciones de Trump sobre ese tema, el presidente ha hecho durante semanas declaraciones sobre el estanque reflectante que son demostrablemente inexactas.\n\n\nObama y el estado del estanque: Trump afirmó en un evento el lunes que, después de un proyecto de reparación de dos años durante el Gobierno del expresidente Barack Obama, el estanque “ni siquiera abrió”. Del mismo modo, escribió en una publicación el lunes que el estanque “rara vez estuvo abierto debido a filtraciones y al ‘mal olor’” durante los Gobiernos de Obama y del expresidente Joe Biden. En realidad, el estanque reabrió en agosto de 2012 y ha permanecido abierto durante la inmensa mayoría de los días desde entonces.\n\n\nHa habido cierres breves posteriores por mantenimiento y reparaciones adicionales, incluido uno en octubre de 2012. Además, una pequeña parte del estanque permaneció cerrada durante un período prolongado entre 2015 y 2016 para reparar daños causados por la construcción de un monumento cercano. Sin embargo, esos cierres han sido la excepción en los más de 13 años transcurridos desde su reapertura, no la norma.\n\n\nEl gasto de presidentes anteriores en el estanque: Trump también ha seguido exagerando el gasto realizado durante el Gobierno de Obama en el estanque reflectante. En el evento del lunes aseguró que el proyecto de dos años costó “más de US$ 100 millones”. En realidad, el contrato fue por aproximadamente US$ 35 millones. La Casa Blanca de Trump no pudo proporcionar ninguna evidencia que respaldara la cifra mucho mayor cuando CNN consultó sobre el tema en mayo. Tampoco el equipo del presidente ha presentado pruebas de sus afirmaciones, repetidas nuevamente el lunes, de que Biden gastó decenas de millones de dólares tratando de reparar el estanque.\n\n\nEl Gobierno de Biden nunca llevó adelante un proyecto importante de reparación del estanque reflectante. Chuck Sams, quien fue director del Servicio de Parques Nacionales durante el Gobierno de Biden, dijo a CNN en mayo que habían recibido una estimación de costos “superior a los US$ 100 millones” para una “rehabilitación completa”, pero que nunca avanzaron con esas obras. Sams señaló que “muy probablemente habría seguido adelante si hubiéramos permanecido en el cargo”, pero Trump continúa sugiriendo que el proyecto efectivamente se realizó.\n\n\nEl tamaño del estanque: Esta afirmación de Trump no es especialmente importante, pero en aras de la precisión vale la pena señalar que el presidente también ha exagerado repetidamente la longitud del estanque reflectante.\n\n\nEl 10 de junio afirmó que se trata de un estanque de “casi 2.500 pies de largo” y agregó: “Eso es más alto que cualquier edificio del mundo, de hecho”. Sin embargo, el estanque mide 2.028 pies de largo, según una página del Servicio de Parques Nacionales que permanecía disponible hasta finales de mayo. Trump escribió correctamente en una publicación en redes sociales en mayo que mide “aproximadamente 2.030 pies” y mostró un cartel el 3 de junio que indicaba “2.030 pies”.\n\n\nAdemás, una longitud de “casi 2.500” pies no sería “más alta” que ningún edificio del mundo, incluso si se ignora el hecho evidente de que un estanque en el suelo no es un rascacielos que se eleva en el aire. El edificio más alto del mundo, el Burj Khalifa, supera los 2.700 pies de altura.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

The motion cannot be negotiated or debated at any time.\"It's criminal that a city representative or mayor would be looking at a 15.22% increase in our salaries,\" Rep. Limón said during Tuesday's meeting.\"You can visit with me,\" Mayor Johnson said in response. \"I'll show you how to give it all away.\"In an exclusive interview with ABC 7, Rep. Limón called the mayor's comments involving her spending her pay increase, \"jarring\" and \"very insensitive.\"When ABC-7 asked the Mayor about Limon's comments, his office provided a statement:\"The City Charter, which was approved by El Paso voters, establishes the compensation for the Mayor and City Council. If anyone believes that should change, there is a process for the voters to consider.\n\n\n\nI’ve supported charitable organizations in El Paso for many years, long before I became Mayor, because I know the incredible difference they make in people’s lives. Every day, nonprofits across our community help families in need, care for seniors, support children, assist veterans, feed the hungry, and provide services that strengthen our city. Whenever possible, I’ve tried to use my platform to shine a light on their work, encourage volunteerism, and help connect them with donors so they can continue serving our community.\n\n\n\nEvery elected official can decide what to do with their own compensation. If any elected official chooses to donate their salary, I would applaud that decision, just as I applaud every resident who gives their time, talent, or financial support to the organizations that make El Paso stronger.\n\n\n\nMy responsibility is to the taxpayers of El Paso. That means staying focused on adopting a responsible budget, delivering the services residents expect, and continuing to support the nonprofit organizations that make our community stronger every single day.\"\n\n\n\n\nThe post El Paso City Council Rep.

Snapchat features such as Quick Add and Snap Map enabled assailant Gabriel Joel Valentin-Rios to connect with and groom the girl, referred to as J.F., the complaint alleges.\n\n\nThe suit, filed Wednesday in Missouri state court, also names Valentin-Rios as a defendant. Valentin-Rios recently pleaded guilty to one count of statutory rape or attempted statutory rape and one count of enticement or attempted enticement of a child; he was sentenced to 18 years.\n\n\nWednesday’s lawsuit is just the latest case seeking to hold Snapchat accountable for sexual abuse that young users say they experienced because of the platform. Multiple families have sued the platform with similar claims, and multiple men have been sentenced for abuse of minors with whom they connected on Snapchat. New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez sued Snap in 2024, alleging that its policies and features facilitate child sexual exploitation.\n\n\nSnap’s rules prohibit sexual exploitation, and the company says it uses automated and human review systems to prevent abuse and proactively remove bad actors. It has also introduced features meant to make it harder for adult strangers to contact young people. In response to the New Mexico lawsuit, the company told the Associated Press: “We continue to evolve our safety mechanisms and policies, from leveraging advanced technology to detect and block certain activity, to prohibiting friending from suspicious accounts, to working alongside law enforcement and government agencies, among so much more.”\n\n\nBut the Missouri lawsuit claims that Snapchat has known about the risks of sexual abuse of young people and should have done more to prevent them.\n\n\nIn 2024, Snap executives received a 133-page manual originally published on the dark web that details how to use Snapchat features to prey on young users, the complaint states. It alleges the handbook instructs predators to use Snapchat’s “Quick Add” feature — now called “Find Friends,” which recommends accounts with which a user shares mutual friends or phone contacts — and “Snap Map” to connect with victims. The complaint states that those “dangerous design features” could continue to harm children.\n\n\nCNN has reached out to Snap for comment on the Missouri lawsuit. An attorney for Valentin-Rios declined to comment.\n\n\n“It is unfortunately not unique that pedophiles use the design features of Snapchat to identify and connect with vulnerable kids,” Matthew Bergman, founder of the Social Media Victims Law Center, which filed the suit, told CNN. “This is the perpetration of child sexual abuse at scale.”\n\n\nPlaintiff J.F. began using Snapchat at the age of 11 around 2021 without her parents’ knowledge, according to the complaint. The lawsuit states that J.F. does not recall the birthdate she used to sign up for the platform but alleges that Snapchat “possesses the capability to estimate user age with substantial accuracy” regardless of how someone signed up and “would have known that she was younger than the age she self-reported.”\n\n\nMonths after she began using the platform, Snapchat’s Quick Add feature allegedly recommended that Valentin-Rios, a 25-year-old, connect with J.F. and other minor girls from the same area. The app made it appear to the girls that Valentin-Rios shared mutual friends with them, and the “Bitmoji” cartoon image associated with his account portrayed him as a “friendly looking boy,” according to the complaint. He presented himself as a local high school boy in thousands of chats with multiple minors, the complaint states.\n\n\n“Snap failed to warn J.F., or other minors alike, that these users might be strangers or that connecting with them could be dangerous,” the complaint states.\n\n\nValentin-Rios then began sending J.F. nude photos, which the lawsuit claims J.F. could not avoid because Snapchat doesn’t offer a way to preview content before opening it. Snapchat’s Snap Map feature — which lets users share their live locations with friends — provided Valentin-Rios with J.F.’s home address, and he coerced her into sending explicit photos, according to the complaint. (Snapchat turns off live location sharing on Snap Map by default, but users can toggle it on.)\n\n\nValentin-Rios raped J.F. in September of 2021, after convincing her to sneak out of her home late at night; he also allegedly abused other young girls in the same area, according to the complaint.\n\n\nValentin-Rios allegedly created a second Snapchat account to connect with the young girls, which the suit claims was a violation of Snapchat rules that the company did not enforce.\n\n\nThe suit also claims that internal Snap documents suggest that around the time of the assault, Snapchat was “failing to review more than 40%” of serious user reports — letting reported media disappear on the app, which is known for ephemeral content, before it could conduct reviews. J.F.’s lawsuit seeks to uncover “whether and/or how many times Valentin-Rios’ accounts were reported to Snap for sexual abuse” prior to her rape.\n\n\nThe lawsuit also seeks unspecified financial damages.\n\n\nSnap and other leading social media companies face a wave of lawsuits alleging that they have intentionally addicted and harmed young people with their features and design choices. Snap earlier this year settled a landmark case brought by a 20-year-old woman, which resulted in Meta and YouTube being held liable for her harms, as well as a case brought by a school district.\n\n\nThe companies have repeatedly said they have safety features and parental control tools to protect young people, but they continue to face pressure from parents and advocates.\n\n\nA poll released earlier this month by the advocacy group Heat Initiative found that half of minor user respondents reported seeing “unsafe content or messages” on Snapchat in the prior year. The poll of more than 1,000 10-to-17-year-olds, conducted in December, found that one in eight respondents reported seeing sexually suggestive content at least weekly. And one in five respondents said they believed Snapchat’s “Find Friends” feature had recommended accounts of people they don’t know who they believed to be adults.\n\n\nIn response to the poll, Snapchat said it invests heavily in protections for young users and  believed the report did not reflect those investments.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

A state of emergency has been declared as first responders deploy nationwide, and other countries rally to send assistance.\n\n\nThis comes at a dire time for Venezuela, which is still deep in political and financial crisis – being led by an interim government after US forces captured President Nicolás Maduro earlier this year, and facing an economy crippled by years of hyperinflation.\n\n\nHere’s what we know so far.\n\n\nWhat happened?\n\n\n\nA magnitude 7.2 foreshock took place near San Felipe, the capital city of Yaracuy state, just after 6:04 p.m. ET.\n\n\nJust 40 seconds later, it was followed by a larger 7.5 magnitude quake, some 23 kilometers (about 14 miles) southeast of Yumare, a town also in Yaracuy state.\n\n\nWednesday was a public holiday, meaning many people may have been home or at public events.\n\n\nThe quake was felt in states across the country, as well as in neighboring Colombia, hundreds of kilometers from the epicenter.\n\n\nVideos seen and geolocated by CNN showed some buildings collapsing in seconds or terrified residents evacuating buildings with their loved ones and pets before gathering on the street. One Caracas resident who escaped from a damaged building said “the scene was like a horror movie.”\n\n\nAnother Caracas resident, Martha Añez, described seeing no way out of her apartment and leaning out onto her balcony, “screaming, ‘We’re trapped! We need help! Please, someone come!’\n\n\n“We couldn’t get out; there was hammering from one side and kicking from the other. I don’t know who actually rescued us, because they were shouting, ‘Get away from there, we’re coming and we are about six!’, until they finally burst through the door,” she told CNN.\n\n\nThree floors of her apartment building are “totally and absolutely wrecked,” she said.\n\n\nWhat’s the toll and damage?\n\n\n\nEarly on Thursday morning, acting President Delcy Rodriguez – who stepped into the role after Maduro’s capture – said that at least 164 people are dead and 971 injured, with the toll expected to rise.\n\n\nThat announcement marked a sharp increase from the overnight toll, indicating the potential scale of the damage yet to be reported.\n\n\nDozens of buildings have collapsed, with the coastal state of La Guaira hardest hit and now declared a disaster zone, Rodriguez said in a video message.\n\n\n“We are currently engaged in arduous rescue operations to save as many lives as God allows. This is truly a tragedy,” she said.\n\n\nThousands of Caracas residents slept outdoors or in their cars overnight, fearful of the aftershocks that kept hitting the city even after the major quakes had subsided.\n\n\nMany are still unaware of their loved ones’ fate. In the Los Palos Grandes area in eastern Caracas, anguished people pleaded with authorities Thursday for news about relatives whose buildings collapsed.\n\n\nMultiple videos geolocated by CNN show extensive damage to buildings and infrastructure across Venezuela, including in the capital Caracas. In La Guaira, a large waterfront hotel in the city of Macuto has been reduced to rubble, while in the town of Catia La Mar, videos show several collapsed buildings and badly damaged high-rises.\n\n\nThe US Geological Survey issued two separate red alerts through its PAGER system for the back-to-back quakes, warning of probable “high casualties and extensive damage.” Most people in the region live in structures vulnerable to the quake’s shaking, it added.\n\n\nInternet connectivity dropped sharply across Venezuela after the quakes damaged power and telecoms infrastructure, before recovering slightly in the hours afterward, according to watchdog NetBlocks.\n\n\nThese disruptions may hinder rescue efforts and the flow of information being reported out of affected areas in the coming hours.\n\n\nWhat’s the response?\n\n\n\nVenezuela has declared a state of emergency, with a high-level task force created to oversee search and rescue operations, and an initial $200 million fund to rebuild the country, Rodriguez said.\n\n\nSimon Bolivar Airport near Caracas has temporarily closed after suffering damage, she added. School classes will be suspended nationwide for a week, and rail services and non-essential activities have also been temporarily canceled. Nationwide prayers for all religions will be held at 7 p.m local time, she said.\n\n\nSecurity forces have been deployed across Venezuela, according to the Ministry of Communication and Information. It has cut off direct gas supplies to certain buildings as a preventative measure as authorities assess damaged structures.\n\n\nRescue workers have been working through the night attempting to find survivors still trapped under the rubble, and international teams are heading to Venezuela to assist.\n\n\nUS Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington has deployed “search and rescue teams” to help after President Donald Trump voiced his support; there are further teams being sent from the Dominican Republic, France, El Salvador, Mexico, Switzerland, Spain, Italy and Qatar. Other countries have offered humanitarian aid, including China, Brazil, and some Caribbean nations.\n\n\nThis is a developing story and will be updated.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Joaquin Castro of Texas, whose district includes Lackland, told CNN. The Air Force confirmed that a recruit there died in a military hospital on June 16 after experiencing a “medical emergency” a few days before, but it’s unclear whether his death is linked to the flu outbreak.\n\n\nAround 60% of previously unvaccinated trainees at Lackland initially declined the flu shot during the vaccine requirement’s lapse, according to the defense official. The option to decline the vaccine was opened to recruits after an April order from Hegseth instructing Pentagon leadership to eliminate the flu shot requirement.\n\n\nHegseth’s order allowed for military services to request exemptions, but it was put into effect before those exemptions could be processed.\n\n\nThe vaccine mandate for Air Force recruits was restored on June 11, and within weeks, unvaccinated trainees at Lackland received the flu shot, according to the defense official and source.\n\n\nBut by that point the outbreak at Lackland had already gained steam.\n\n\nSean Parnell, the Pentagon’s top spokesperson, said in a statement that the Defense Department had “granted [exceptions to policy]” enabling mandatory vaccines for specific populations across the military.\n\n\n“The decisions were based upon thorough risk assessments and are designed to maximize operational readiness, lethality, and force generation, while safeguarding at-risk populations,” Parnell said.\n\n\nWhen Hegseth announced via social media video in April that the flu vaccine was no longer mandatory for US troops, he said the military’s all-encompassing mandate was “overly broad and not rational.”\n\n\nHegseth’s April 20 memo implementing the change immediately made the flu shot optional for all US troops, regardless of situation or mission. The memo had instructions for how the Army, Navy, Air Force, Space Force and Marine Corps could submit packages to reinstate the vaccine requirement for certain at-risk populations.\n\n\nThe military branches each rushed to submit exception requests – including one for recruits at boot camp – after the Pentagon chief’s announcement, the official and source said. The Air Force submitted its exception request for basic training attendees on May 5.\n\n\nBut the exception requests took more than a month to get through the military bureaucracy, first clearing the office of Hegseth’s top health advisor, Keith Bass, before going to the office of Anthony Tata, the controversial retired one-star general now serving as the Pentagon’s undersecretary overseeing personnel & readiness.\n\n\nTata approved the Air Force’s request to reinstate the flu shot at basic training on June 11, according to the official and source. But by then, the outbreak among trainees at Lackland was underway – base officials did not learn until June 18 that the shots were again mandatory, according to an Air Force official.\n\n\nHegseth’s “effective immediately” method of rescinding the vaccine requirement resulted in a lapse for shots for some troops, physician and former Pentagon health official Terry Adirim argued. Adirim served as a top official in the Defense Department’s health affairs office during President Donald Trump’s first administration before returning during the Biden administration as the office’s acting chief.\n\n\n“There can be a real disruption of national security if the medical experts cannot give the best advice to protect the force, and this is an example” said Adirim.\n\n\nAdirim said that such coordination and policy assessments typically occur before the department implements sweeping changes to health policy. She said that coordination, which typically involves weeks of back and forth between the Pentagon and the military services, would enable medical experts to provide crucial input to ensure the policy was safe from the moment it was issued.\n\n\nIn the case of the flu shots, though, those weeks of bureaucratic coordination to process policy exception requests didn’t begin until Hegseth had already rolled back the requirement.\n\n\nDavis Winkie’s work at CNN is supported by a partnership between Outrider Foundation and Journalism Funding Partners (JFP).

They navigate multiple cultures and languages, balance family responsibilities with academic demands, and remain deeply committed to building a better future for themselves and for El Paso.\n\n\n\nYet, despite their resilience, too many young people in our community are facing challenges that no child or teenager should have to overcome alone.\n\n\n\nThe data tell a sobering story.\n\n\n\nOne in four children in El Paso County live in poverty. Poverty is one of the most powerful drivers of health disparities, affecting everything from educational achievement to mental health outcomes and teen pregnancy rates.\n\n\n\nAt the same time, Texas continues to lead the nation with the highest proportion of children without health insurance — including 40% of young adults in El Paso County — posing significant barriers to preventive care, mental health treatment, and sexual health services. When young people cannot access basic healthcare, small problems become larger crises.\n\n\n\nThe mental health challenges facing youth today are especially alarming. Across Texas, 13% of Latino youth report having attempted suicide. Suicide is now the second-leading cause of death among young Texans.\n\n\n\nThese are not just statistics. They are our children, neighbors, classmates and future leaders.\n\n\n\nAt Project Vida, we hear directly from young people about the pressures they face. Many describe struggling with anxiety, depression, loneliness, stress and burnout. They are balancing academic expectations, financial hardship, family obligations, social media pressures and uncertainty about the future.\n\n\n\nWhat they tell us they need is remarkably consistent: trusted adults who will listen, safe spaces where they feel accepted, access to mental health support, and opportunities to build confidence and connection.\n\n\n\nWe also continue to see significant gaps in access to accurate health information and services. Transportation challenges, language barriers, concerns about privacy, lack of insurance, and stigma surrounding mental and sexual health often prevent youth from getting the support they need.\n\n\n\nThe consequences can be profound. El Paso County’s teen birth rate remains 14% higher than the Texas average and 69% higher than the national average, underscoring the importance of ensuring young people have access to comprehensive health education and trusted resources.\n\n\n\nThe good news is that we know what works.\n\n\n\nWhen young people have access to mentorship, leadership development, health education, and positive after-school opportunities, outcomes improve. Youths gain confidence. They build healthy relationships. They develop leadership skills and a stronger sense of belonging.\n\n\n\nThrough initiatives such as Project Vida’s Youth Leadership Initiative and PATH (Pre-Apprenticeship for Health) program, we see firsthand what happens when young people are given the tools and support they need to succeed. They become advocates, mentors, community leaders and agents of positive change.\n\n\n\nBut organizations like ours cannot meet these challenges alone.\n\n\n\nThat’s why we’re partnering with Healthy Futures of Texas to host the inaugural El Paso Adolescent Summit on June 25-26, convening leaders from education, healthcare, government, and business to identify and coordinate solutions.\n\n\n\nAddressing the needs of El Paso youths requires a communitywide commitment. We need greater investment in affordable mental health services, youth development programs, mentoring opportunities, workforce readiness initiatives and comprehensive health education.\n\n\n\nThe future of El Paso — and Texas — will be shaped by the opportunities we create for our young people.

Era como si nos golpearan con fuerza por un lado y nos patearan por el otro. No sé quién nos rescató, porque gritaban: ‘¡Aléjense de ahí, vamos para allá y somos como seis!’, hasta que finalmente irrumpieron por la puerta”, declaró a CNN.\n\n\nSegún ella, tres pisos de su edificio de apartamentos están “totalmente destrozados”.\n\n\nA primera hora del jueves por la mañana, la presidenta interina Delcy Rodríguez, que asumió el cargo tras la captura de Maduro, dijo que al menos 164 personas han muerto y 971 han resultado heridas, y se espera que la cifra aumente.\n\n\nLa cifra supuso un fuerte aumento con respecto al balance de la noche anterior, lo que indica la posible magnitud de los daños que aún no se han reportado.\n\n\nDecenas de edificios se han derrumbado, siendo el estado costero de La Guaira el más afectado y declarado zona de desastre, informó Rodríguez en un mensaje de video.\n\n\n“Actualmente estamos llevando a cabo arduas operaciones de rescate para salvar tantas vidas como Dios lo permita. Esto es verdaderamente una tragedia”, indicó.\n\n\nNumerosos videos geolocalizados por CNN muestran daños extensos en edificios e infraestructura en toda Venezuela, incluyendo la capital, Caracas.\n\n\nEn La Guaira, un gran hotel frente al mar en la ciudad de Macuto quedó reducido a escombros, mientras que en la localidad de Catia La Mar, las imágenes muestran varios edificios derrumbados y rascacielos gravemente dañados.\n\n\nEl Servicio Geológico de Estados Unidos emitió dos alertas rojas a través de su sistema PAGER por los sismos consecutivos, advirtiendo de un probable “alto número de víctimas y daños extensos”.\n\n\nAñadió que la mayoría de los habitantes de la región viven en estructuras vulnerables a las sacudidas del terremoto.\n\n\nSegún la organización de vigilancia NetBlocks, la conectividad a Internet disminuyó drásticamente en toda Venezuela después de que los terremotos dañaran la infraestructura de energía y telecomunicaciones.\n\n\nVenezuela ha declarado el estado de emergencia y se ha creado un grupo de trabajo de alto nivel para supervisar las operaciones de búsqueda y rescate, afirmó Rodríguez en su discurso.\n\n\nEl aeropuerto Simón Bolívar, cerca de Caracas, ha cerrado temporalmente tras sufrir daños, añadió.\n\n\nLas clases escolares se suspenderán en todo el país durante una semana, y los servicios ferroviarios y las actividades no esenciales también se han cancelado temporalmente.\n\n\nSegún el Ministerio de Comunicación e Información, se han desplegado fuerzas de seguridad en todo Venezuela. Asimismo, se ha cortado el suministro directo de gas a ciertos edificios como medida preventiva mientras las autoridades evalúan los daños en las estructuras.\n\n\nGobiernos de todo el mundo están enviando equipos de rescate para ayudar en las zonas afectadas, declaró Rodríguez el miércoles.\n\n\nVenezuela espera recibir rescatistas de Estados Unidos a primera hora del jueves, luego de que el presidente Donald Trump expresara su apoyo, agregó.\n\n\nTambién llegarán equipos desde República Dominicana, El Salvador, México y Qatar.

The department said 36-year-old Seth Herrera attempted to make and traffic child sexual abuse material (CSAM).\n\n\n\nCourt documents said Starting in March 2021, Herrera used encrypted and privacy-enhancing applications to look at, own and send CSAM on his phones. \n\n\n\nHe used cell phones to browse the dark web and encrypted messaging apps for CSAM, the DOJ said. \n\n\n\nHe also made a public group on one of the platforms to store CSAM files, uploading more than 100 files to the group in six weeks, the DOJ said. \n\n\n\nAcross different apps, he participated in hundreds of online groups dedicated to CSAM, the DOJ said. At the time, he was in more than 400 Telegram groups and 1,400 Telegram channels.\n\n\n\nIn May 2024, law enforcement took away Herrera's devices and found tens of thousands of CSAM, the DOJ said. \n\n\n\nStarting December 2022, Herrera used artificial intelligence chatbots to create CSAM, the DOJ said. The department said he would ask AI to undress and morph children's bodies to appear as if they engaged in sexually explicit acts. \n\n\n\nSome of the pictures included children he knew personally, the DOJ said.\n\n\n\nHerrera used photos and videos of children he knew in El Paso and screenshots of children through security cameras around his home, the DOJ said. \n\n\n\nUsing his security cameras, he produced at least 28 pictures and two videos of one child alone, according to the DOJ.\n\n\n\nIn August 2023, Herrera moved to Alaska, transporting CSAM across state lines by storing them in password-protected photo vaults on his phones, officials said.\n\n\n\nWhile serving as a Specialist at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, he was arrested on Aug. 23, 2024, the DOJ said.

Bill Cassidy’s congressional career, the Louisiana senator has become one of the president’s sharpest critics in the halls of the US Capitol.\n\n\nBut as they stood face to face in a Wednesday meeting at the Capitol, the two Republicans unleashed anger at each other in a shouting match in front of dozens of their Senate GOP colleagues.\n\n\nThe testy back-and-forth began, according to Cassidy, as Trump demanded to know why members of his own party — including Cassidy — voted with Democrats a day earlier to rebuke the president’s military authority in Iran.\n\n\n“I stood and said, ‘You have not told the American people what’s going on,’” Cassidy recalled after the meeting, describing what he told the president behind closed doors. “It was supposed to last four weeks, it’s lasted four months. Our original objectives have not been achieved, and I want to know what’s going on.”\n\n\nFrom there, according to multiple sources in the room, a furious Trump went after Cassidy, raising his voice. Cassidy recalled that he “lost his temper” and was shouting back at the same “tone and volume” as the president.\n\n\nAt one point inside the luncheon, Trump ordered Cassidy to sit down — but Cassidy refused, another source said. Trump then called him a “lunatic.” In return, Cassidy shouted at Trump, in one instance referring to Trump as his “brother.” Trump told him he wasn’t his “brother” — and eventually Cassidy sat down.\n\n\nHours later, however, the Louisiana Republican switched his vote on a similar Iran war powers resolution, voting against advancing it and allowing Republicans to effectively walk back their rebuke of the president.\n\n\nHis vote came after he said he’d received a “thorough briefing” on Iran from Vice President JD Vance and special envoy Steve Witkoff. “I appreciate the quick invitation to the White House to address many of my concerns,” Cassidy wrote on X.\n\n\nStill, the tense, roughly 70-minute meeting between Trump and GOP senators earlier Wednesday reflected rising tensions as the president has repeatedly upended key pieces of the Republican agenda on Capitol Hill. While Trump has spent much of his second term circumventing Congress to satisfy his own aims — from firing federal workers, blowing up budgets, even waging a war — a growing bloc within his party is willing to say they’ve had enough.\n\n\nHouse and Senate GOP leaders are eager to move beyond some of Trump’s personal priorities — including an elections overhaul bill that lacks the votes to pass the Senate — and instead work on cost-of-living issues to tout back home. But they’re confronting a particularly unpredictable version of Trump who seems to care little about the party’s efforts at a carefully coordinated midterm strategy. Inside the Capitol, senior Republicans are exasperated by the president’s behavior over the last several weeks, with some insisting he is getting “bad advice” from his team, according to multiple GOP sources.\n\n\n“They’re pretty exasperated by it all,” said one Republican who’s spoken with several vulnerable GOP lawmakers, describing them as increasingly dismayed by Trump’s declining approval ratings. “They see the same data everyone else sees, but they also don’t want to get into a position where they’re in a sniping match with the president.”\n\n\nCassidy said the friction during Wednesday’s lunch was so intense that, “at some point my guys next to me said, ‘ok, Bill, sit down,’ and so I sat down and tried to de-escalate.” But that did little to immediately ease tensions. One White House official afterward said Cassidy had “totally embarrassed himself,” characterizing him as “unhinged” as the president tried to explain the status of ongoing talks.\n\n\nOne reason only Cassidy pushed back on Trump is because the president dominated the podium and didn’t leave time for senators to speak or question him, according to frustrated Republican senators and aides.\n\n\nThe closed-door lunch came one day after Trump publicly vented frustration with the four Republican senators, including Cassidy, who had voted to rein in his Iran war powers. “Four Republican Losers voted with the Dumocrats,” Trump said on Truth Social Tuesday night after the Senate vote, which he called “poorly timed and meaningless.”\n\n\nOne person briefed on the Capitol Hill meeting said that Trump’s ire was not just directed at Cassidy, but more broadly at all of the Republicans who voted against him on Iran, and those who had missed the vote. One senator said Trump felt undermined by that symbolic vote.\n\n\nSen. John Kennedy told reporters after the closed-door lunch that, “the president was and is mad as a murder hornet about the war powers vote yesterday.”\n\n\nTrump later hinted at his frustrations, even as he insisted that the meeting had gone “really great.”\n\n\n“I don’t like a few people, but that’s okay,” he said. “I think you know who they are.”\n\n\nJust hours earlier, Trump had torched plans to celebrate recently passed legislation — the largest housing affordability bill in a generation — at a press conference with top Republicans. Instead, he decided not to sign it at all — stepping all over any plans to tout an effort to address cost-of-living concerns.\n\n\nAnd even with a potentially crippling midterm ahead for the GOP, Trump is refusing to acknowledge that his biggest legislative wish-list item — the “SAVE America Act” — doesn’t have the votes. Trump spent much of his remarks to the GOP senators focused on that elections bill, which Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama described as “the best speech I’ve seen him give.”\n\n\n“He got emotional at times, basically talking about how Communism is taking over, this will be our last shot, if we don’t bust the filibuster,” Tuberville said, referring to the New York primary elections the night before, where a slate of candidates endorsed by democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani won.\n\n\nTuberville, the celebrated former Auburn football coach, compared it to a coach’s halftime speech: “You know, ‘we don’t have much time left.’”\n\n\nTrump specifically argued that the Mamdani-backed candidates winning elections in New York was a sign that they needed the SAVE America Act, according to one Republican senator in the meeting.\n\n\nIn the end, it was one of Trump’s loyalists, Sen. Rick Scott, who tried to convey to Trump that there are simply not enough Republican votes to pass his elections bill in Congress.\n\n\n“I said, ‘This is where we are today,’” Scott of Florida said, recounting the meeting. “I’m a business guy. You have to live in reality.”\n\n\nBut it wasn’t clear if that message sunk in for Trump. Scott said Trump is focused on passing the bill through whatever means necessary: “He really believes it’s a key to this fall.”\n\n\nSenate Majority Leader John Thune, who Trump has grown frustrated with behind the scenes as the elections bill has stalled in the Senate, said he couldn’t tell if Trump was swayed by the senators’ own math on the vote count.\n\n\n“The president made his views very clear, which we know how he feels on it. I’m not sure what the takeaway was for him regarding that, but I think it’s fair to say that we’ve made the point a number of times,” Thune said. “That is not a conclusion he would like us to draw but it’s what I have to say.”\n\n\nSen. John Cornyn — who, like Cassidy, is an outgoing Senate Republican who lost to a Trump-backed primary challenger — quipped upon leaving the meeting that Trump offered “quite the unity message.”\n\n\n“The president closed by preaching unity, but he spent the entire hour talking about things which were not exactly unified,” Cornyn added.\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional developments. \n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Esta es la primera vez que un tribunal de apelaciones se pronuncia sobre el tema, lo que podría allanar el camino para una eventual batalla en la Corte Suprema.\n\n\nAl escribir la opinión mayoritaria del panel, el juez Andre Mathis señaló que la Ley de Derechos Civiles de 1960 en la que se basó el Departamento de Justicia no cubre el archivo consolidado de votantes de Michigan.\n\n\n“En aquel entonces, el Gobierno utilizaba este poder para garantizar que todas las personas con derecho a votar pudieran ejercerlo libremente”, escribió Mathis. “Pero hoy, el Gobierno invoca el Título III con un propósito inverso: asegurar que algunas personas no hayan votado”.\n\n\nEl Departamento de Justicia ha demandado a 30 estados que se han negado a entregar sus listas electorales sin censura.\n\n\nLa amplia campaña del DOJ para obtener los registros completos de votantes en casi todos los estados es uno de varios ejemplos de cómo el Gobierno—impulsado por las persistentes afirmaciones de Trump de que las elecciones de 2020 fueron manipuladas en su contra— ha buscado ejercer un mayor control federal sobre los procesos electorales.\n\n\nSin embargo, los tribunales han frenado varios de esos intentos. Esta misma semana, un juez en Washington bloqueó el uso de un sistema federal de datos de ciudadanía para depurar listas de votantes, y más temprano este miércoles, un tribunal federal en Boston sumó otro fallo que invalida partes de un decreto de Trump de 2025 relacionado con normas electorales.\n\n\nEn el caso ante el 6º Circuito, la controversia se centró en si el Departamento de Justicia podía utilizar disposiciones de la Ley de Derechos Civiles de 1960 —diseñada para combatir la discriminación electoral de la era Jim Crow— para obtener las listas.\n\n\nLa ley otorga al fiscal general la autoridad para exigir ciertos registros relacionados con votaciones que estén en posesión de funcionarios electorales. Pero el tribunal concluyó —en línea con otros tribunales inferiores— que los archivos de registro de votantes que los estados elaboran y mantienen internamente no están incluidos.\n\n\n“La secretaria de Estado de Michigan, Jocelyn Benson, no adquirió ni recibió el archivo de votantes calificados de un tercero. Fueron los propios funcionarios del Estado quienes lo crearon”, escribió Mathis. La decisión también indicó que el Departamento de Justicia no cumplió otros requisitos legales al solicitar los datos.\n\n\nEl juez John B.

Christopher Donahue, commander of US Army Europe and Africa, is relinquishing command on July 2, a US Army spokeswoman confirmed to CNN. A source familiar said Donahue’s stepping down has been in conversation for at least two months and said it was not an abrupt decision.\n\n\nDonahue’s exit from the command coincides with the planned decision to lower the required rank for its chief from a four-star general to a three-star general and a series of moves by Hegseth to alter the US footprint in Europe.\n\n\nMultiple sources told CNN that there has been tension between the Hegseth’s office and Donahue’s command, though not necessarily directly between the two men. Any high-profile publicity the Army received in Europe – even when generally positive or seemingly on-message with Hegseth’s priorities – “was not well received,” the second source familiar said.\n\n\nTwo sources familiar with the matter said Hegseth’s office has been critical of Donahue for some time. One of the sources said he has been labeled unfairly by some as an acolyte of retired Gen. Mark Milley, who has drawn intense ire from President Donald Trump, Hegseth, and some key figures in right-wing media, though the source said Donahue has retained plenty of support in the MAGA universe, particularly among those with special operations backgrounds.\n\n\nDonahue has commanded the Army’s elite Delta Force and served in various other special operations units throughout his career. Before taking over US Army Europe and Africa, Donahue commanded the 82nd Airborne Division and then the 18th Airborne Corps out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina — two jobs typically reserved for promising senior Army officers.\n\n\nThere has also been some thinking from conservatives and officials around Hegseth that Donahue was responsible for the Afghanistan withdrawal, because he was commanding the 82nd Airborne Division at the time, which responded to the crisis in Kabul. Donahue was famously captured on camera walking off the tarmac and onto the last US aircraft leaving Kabul at the end of the chaotic withdrawal and dubbed the last US service member in Afghanistan.\n\n\nOne of the sources familiar likened placing the blame on Donahue to “blaming the fire department for showing up to the fire.”\n\n\nDonahue declined to comment for this story through a command spokesperson. The Office of the Secretary of Defense directed questions to the Army.\n\n\nArmy spokeswoman Cynthia O. Smith confirmed that Donahue was stepping down from command in July.\n\n\n“The Army thanks Gen. Donahue for his leadership of US Army Europe and Africa.”\n\n\nWhile Donahue has submitted his paperwork to retire, the sources familiar with his departure from US Army Europe and Africa said the Army has not yet made a final determination on whether to approve the retirement, meaning he could still be nominated to another position. The two sources familiar and a congressional aide said Donahue is still believed to be in the running for other four-star jobs, including chief of staff of the Army.\n\n\nSeveral of the sources said other four-star positions, including commander of US Army Transformation and Training Command in Austin, Texas, or commander of a new unmanned systems command, were also being considered by the Pentagon.\n\n\nDonahue’s deputy, Maj. Gen. Christopher Norrie, will perform the duties of US Army Europe and Africa commanding general until a permanent replacement is nominated, the US official said. Donahue will also relinquish command as the Allied Land Forces commander in a ceremony in Turkey on July 9, according to US Army Col. Martin O’Donnell, Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe spokesperson. British Army Lt. Gen. Jez Bennett will serve as the acting commander until another American is assigned to the three-star role.\n\n\nDonahue has long been rumored as a choice to eventually take over as the Army chief of staff, the top uniformed position for the service, though Hegseth has recently elevated his former senior military assistant Gen. Chris LaNeve to the role in an acting capacity, after firing Gen. Randy George. Hegseth’s selection of LaNeve over Donahue has rankled some of the military’s joint chiefs, the two sources familiar said.\n\n\n“You spend your whole career being apolitical and doing the best job you can under civilian leadership that may or may not agree with you, only to watch the SecDef elevate people who have successfully sucked up to him — I imagine that feels like it cheapens their achievements,” one of the sources said.\n\n\nDonahue is not expected to officially retire for roughly two months, sources told CNN, leaving time for Hegseth to select him for a new job. Upon Donahue’s departure, US Army Europe and Africa will transition to a three-star command. And while the transition has been anticipated for roughly a year, the change comes amid several other changes to the US military’s footprint in Europe, as the Trump administration has suggested that European countries should take primary responsibility for the defense of the continent.\n\n\nIn May, two US deployments to Europe were abruptly cancelled by Hegseth following criticism by Trump about support from European allies. The move received harsh backlash from members of Congress from both parties, who criticized the Defense Department for not communicating with lawmakers or European allies who would be impacted. Days later, Trump appeared to somewhat reverse course, saying the US would send an additional 5,000 troops to Poland, after previously saying he would pull 5,000 troops from Germany. It’s still unclear what that change will look like in terms of which units are moved where.\n\n\nThe US military is also expecting to see another three-star US command, Security Assistance Group-Ukraine, or SAG-U, get shut down, though the move has not yet been finalized. Two of the sources familiar and the congressional aide said the functions of the command would still exist to some extent and be taken over by other groups but the closure of SAG-U — established in 2022 — will also see the reassignment of roughly 300 personnel.\n\n\nAnd just a week ago, Hegseth indicated more changes could be coming, announcing a six-month review of US forces in Europe while speaking at a NATO meeting in Brussels.\n\n\n“It’s a review that some countries will fail and others will pass with flying colors,” Hegseth said.\n\n\nDavis Winkie’s work at CNN is supported by a partnership between Outrider Foundation and Journalism Funding Partners (JFP).

A permit was filed with New York City’s Street Activity Permit Office, which issues permits for street festivals, block parties, farmers markets and promotional or commercial events that require streets, sidewalks or pedestrian plazas to be closed off to traffic, according to a city official.\n\n\nNeither Swift’s nor Kelce’s name is listed on the permit application, the city official said.\n\n\nThe permit application, first reported by the New York Times, would allow streets around Madison Square Garden to close from July 2 to July 4 for a planned “event,” the city official said.\n\n\nFiled earlier this month, the permit application also requests authorization to set up a tent or canopy outside MSG. Additionally, the permit outlined the need for trucks to deliver, load and unload materials near the Garden and would allow between 500 and 999 attendees to gather in the closed off space, according to the city official.\n\n\nClosing off the streets near Madison Square Garden on any given day sets up a logistical traffic nightmare guaranteed to gridlock thousands of people that travel through the area daily. It has the potential to be even more disruptive as the event is expected to take place during the Fourth of July weekend, which marks the nation’s 250th birthday with additional celebrations scheduled to take place.\n\n\nCNN has reached out to Madison Square Garden.\n\n\nThe event is expected to take place inside MSG. Known as the “world’s most famous arena,” the Garden is not only home to the newly crowned NBA champions, the New York Knicks, but also houses Penn Station beneath it. The train station is a major transportation hub and has seen an added influx of passengers taking New Jersey Transit to and from FIFA World Cup matches at MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands. A match is scheduled in New Jersey on July 5.\n\n\nSwift’s representative did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment.\n\n\nEarlier this month, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani publicly commented on Swift and Kelce’s wedding, seemingly confirming that the famous couple would be getting married in the city.\n\n\n“We are the biggest city in the country. We are used to big events, and we are incredibly excited for this one,” Mamdani said at a press conference while discussing security measures in the city around the World Cup. “We know it coincides with the Knicks’ Finals run. We know it coincides with July 4, America 250, Taylor Swift’s wedding — all happening at the same time —and we are so excited to welcome the world here.”\n\n\nAt the time, Swift’s representative did not respond to CNN’s request for comment on Mamdani’s remarks.\n\n\nNYPD commissioner Jessica Tisch also mentioned the possibility of “potentially a Taylor Swift wedding” while discussing major events on the summer calendar that might require an expanded police presence during a city council budget hearing in early June — though she added, “I’m kidding.”\n\n\nSwift, known for secrecy around her private life, aside from her song lyrics, has a notoriously close and sacred relationship with her fans. Given her stature as one of the most famous individuals on the planet, the MSG plans underway could still be a giant smokescreen, in an effort to divert attention away from her real wedding arrangements.\n\n\nBut a source familiar with invitations that went out earlier this spring told CNN that wedding guests were told the event would take place in New York City on July 3.\n\n\nTabloid reports and Swiftie sleuths online have speculated that Madison Square Garden might be the venue for Swift and Kelce’s wedding celebration but not the actual nuptials, which would occur beforehand in a private setting — or could have possibly already taken place. Some have even wondered whether MSG will host a fan event of sorts, rather than an actual wedding event.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

A menudo lanza giros de último momento que ponen en aprietos a los líderes del Congreso, especialmente a los de su propio partido.\n\n\nPero rara vez uno de esos movimientos de última hora ha parecido tan desacertado como el que hizo este miércoles por la mañana.\n\n\nCanceló de forma repentina la firma prevista de un proyecto de ley sobre asequibilidad de la vivienda que había sido aprobado en ambas cámaras con amplias mayorías bipartidistas.\n\n\nY añadió un nuevo giro: dijo que no lo firmaría hasta que el Congreso aprobara la Ley “SAVE America”. Algunos republicanos han presentado esa legislación relacionada con las elecciones como existencial, pero no parece tener una vía viable para avanzar.\n\n\nY Trump no solo cambió de opinión, lo hizo incluso cuando ya habían comenzado los actos para celebrar la firma del proyecto. Republicanos destacados participaban en una conferencia de prensa elogiando las virtudes de la ley y destacando el apoyo de Trump justo cuando él daba marcha atrás.\n\n\nUn día antes, la secretaria de Prensa de la Casa Blanca, Karoline Leavitt, había calificado el proyecto como “una de las piezas legislativas más importantes sobre asequibilidad de la vivienda en la historia de Estados Unidos”. Horas antes, el asesor político de Trump para las elecciones de mitad de mandato lo había llamado un “compromiso emblemático”.\n\n\nEn resumen: hasta este miércoles, Trump estaba reteniendo “una de las piezas legislativas más importantes sobre asequibilidad de la vivienda” como herramienta de presión para impulsar otra ley que realmente quiere.\n\n\nEso parece una muy mala idea a menos de cinco meses de las elecciones de noviembre.\n\n\nDe hecho, los mayores problemas políticos de Trump y del Partido Republicano siguen siendo la inflación, la asequibilidad y la economía, y esta jugada parece casi diseñada a la medida para reforzar esas debilidades.\n\n\nLos indicadores de Trump en estos temas ya eran negativos antes de que comenzara la guerra con Irán en febrero, y han empeorado significativamente desde entonces.\n\n\nSu índice de desaprobación en la economía era de aproximadamente dos tercios en las encuestas más recientes de Fox News (68 %), CBS News (66 %) y AP-NORC (66 %).\n\n\nSu desaprobación en inflación, por su parte, ha sido aún mayor, en torno al 70 %, según encuestas de CBS (73 %), Strength in Numbers-Verasight (71 %) y Reuters-Ipsos (69 %).\n\n\nEste tipo de cifras es poco común. Por lo general, siete de cada diez estadounidenses no coinciden en casi nada.\n\n\nY uno de los mayores problemas de Trump no es solo que la gente piense que la economía está mal, sino que cree que él la ha empeorado activamente. Antes de la guerra, se consideraba que descuidaba el problema; ahora se percibe que lo agrava.\n\n\nUna encuesta de CBS realizada en los días previos al inicio de la guerra mostró que el 75 % de los estadounidenses consideraba que el Gobierno de Trump se había enfocado “no lo suficiente” en bajar los precios. Una encuesta de CNN un mes después mostró que el 65 % dijo que Trump “no ha ido lo suficientemente lejos” en intentar reducir los precios de los bienes cotidianos.\n\n\nPara mayo, encuestas de CNN mostraban que el 65 % de los estadounidenses decía que las políticas de Trump habían “empeorado las condiciones económicas”, y el 77 % que habían “aumentado el costo de vida” en sus comunidades.\n\n\nY Trump no solo asumió la responsabilidad de una economía incierta a través de sus aranceles globales y la guerra con Irán; también ha mostrado un aparente desdén hacia los problemas de asequibilidad. Ha calificado el tema como un “engaño” y ha dejado bastante claro en mítines y otros espacios que preferiría centrarse en otros asuntos. Continúa haciendo comentarios desconectados que sugieren que no toma en serio el problema ni el impacto económico en los estadounidenses.\n\n\nEn suma, Trump este miércoles corrió el riesgo de reforzar una narrativa políticamente perjudicial: la imagen de un líder que no prioriza —o incluso no reconoce— el problema más importante para los estadounidenses.\n\n\nAlgunos republicanos y aliados de Trump podrían decirse a sí mismos que la Ley “SAVE America” vale esta maniobra; argumentarían que es así de importante aprobar una legislación que exija prueba de ciudadanía para registrarse para votar, entre otras disposiciones.\n\n\nPero no solo hay escasa evidencia de votos ilegales por parte de inmigrantes indocumentados y razones de peso para creer que este proyecto podría impedir votos legales; además, no es algo que la población estadounidense esté reclamando.\n\n\nLos republicanos han señalado encuestas que muestran que los estadounidenses apoyan ampliamente la identificación de votantes y respaldan con fuerza la prueba de ciudadanía para registrarse. Y esos temas sí tienen buena aceptación. Una encuesta de CBS en marzo mostró que el 66 % de los estadounidenses apoyaba esta última medida.\n\n\nPero, fuera de eso, los estadounidenses no muestran un apoyo sólido a la Ley “SAVE America”.\n\n\nLa misma encuesta mostró que solo el 28 % de los estadounidenses dijo apoyar la legislación, anteriormente conocida como la “SAVE Act”, mientras que el 31 % se oponía.\n\n\nY solo el 43 % consideró que la legislación evitaría más votos ilegales que votos legales.\n\n\nMás allá de eso, parece poco probable que Trump siquiera esté generando una ventaja en este momento.\n\n\nAprobar la Ley “SAVE America” probablemente requeriría que los republicanos del Senado eliminen el filibusterismo y su umbral de 60 votos —para este y otros temas—, algo que no suficientes de ellos quieren hacer y a lo que muchos se oponen activamente.\n\n\nY si eso ya era improbable antes, ahora lo es aún más después de que Trump haya tensado su relación con republicanos del Senado al impulsar la salida de dos senadores en primarias: John Cornyn, de Texas, y Bill Cassidy, de Louisiana.\n\n\nEsta amenaza no cambia ese escenario y ni siquiera constituye una herramienta de presión especialmente efectiva. Incluso si el presidente no firma la legislación, esta se convierte en ley después de 10 días. Para detenerla realmente, tendría que vetarla.\n\n\nY si hiciera eso, se arriesgaría a que el veto sea anulado, lo que requiere una mayoría de dos tercios en ambas cámaras. La legislación ya fue aprobada con el 92 % de la Cámara de Representantes y el 94 % del Senado votando a favor.\n\n\nDe hecho, esas mayorías son sorprendentes en la actualidad. El Congreso rara vez aprueba medidas sustantivas más allá de las imprescindibles, como mantener financiado el Gobierno. Y en los últimos tiempos ni siquiera eso ha sido sencillo.\n\n\nY ahora que ha logrado avanzar en algo significativo en un tema de gran preocupación pública, el mayor proyecto de ley sobre asequibilidad de la vivienda en una generación, Trump amenaza con echarlo por tierra si no obtiene lo que quiere.\n\n\nEl resultado más probable es que el presidente termine dando marcha atrás. Ya ha hecho amenazas similares sobre la Ley “SAVE America” antes, incluso al advertir en una ocasión que no firmaría más legislación hasta que se aprobara.\n\n\nPero, por ahora, su postura consolida una narrativa muy negativa para él y para sus compañeros republicanos de cara a las elecciones intermedias.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Marshall III, Director of the BOP said in Macon on Wednesday.\n\n\n“Activity of this nature threatens the safety of everyone who lives and works inside our facilities and will not be tolerated” he said.\n\n\nThe Bureau of Prisons used drone detection systems which alerted authorities with data including make and models and flight launch locations of the unmanned aerials to help pinpoint those involved in the high-tech scheme,  which law enforcement says they tracked between 2023 and 2026.\n\n\nOn June 10, a grand jury in the Middle District of Georgia indicted twelve defendants on federal charges including trafficking for drug and firearms distribution. They are accused of spearheading the sophisticated drone-smuggling scheme at ten federal prisons throughout Georgia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi.\n\n\n“They’re fast moving, they’re remote, it’s a challenge for law enforcement,” Keyes said. “But I think that’s what this case demonstrates is that we are at the speed to tackle this problem.  This is a very sophisticated investigation, a very complex problem.”\n\n\nEarlier this year, 21 attorneys general launched a multi-state effort to combat what they described as an “alarming” rise in drones illegally dropping contraband into prisons, including narcotics, weapons, and cell phones.  In a letter to the Trump administration, the coalition of AG’s said that, under current federal law, only a narrow set of law enforcement agencies are “authorized to detect, track and mitigate unauthorized drones. Meaning, correctional officials often lack the legal authority and the necessary tools to intervene in real time.”\n\n\nIn May, White House officials acknowledged that in the past, the federal government “did not move with sufficient urgency” to confront the surge in drones ferrying contraband into federal prisons.\n\n\nIn a letter sent to state attorneys general, the administration said that Trump’s Safer Skies Act — signed last December — marks the first time state and local agencies have been given proper resources to disable and disrupt rogue drones, by providing $500 million in FEMA grants, developing new FBI training programs, and launching a Department of Homeland Security office aimed at curbing the threat.\n\n\nOn Wednesday, FBI Atlanta Special Agent in Charge Marlo Graham said that drones delivering contraband remains a serious public safety issue for law enforcement that puts both the prisons and communities in danger.\n\n\n“To put this issue into perspective, some state and federal prison-drones smuggling contraband have been so frequent that the facilities look like a small airport in the evening,” Graham said.\n\n\nCNN’s Stuart Clark contributed to this report.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

(Corrie Boudreaux/El Paso Matters)\n\n\n\n“We want to step in and say, there’s people that are going to be your age, that understand what you’re going through, and they comprehend the information that you have to deal with, as a parent, as a guardian … and we’re also going to be there to show you how to become a teacher,” Burciaga said. \n\n\n\nThe new program comes as public school districts countywide – and across Texas – are facing deep financial struggles that have led to reductions in force across the board through layoffs, unfilled vacancies and resignation and retirement incentives. The El Paso Independent School District Board of Trustees laid off 55 employees last week, the vast majority teachers, while layoffs are imminent in Ysleta ISD next year. Socorro ISD last year implemented staffing reductions. District leaders have said special education and bilingual teachers remain an area of need, though most are looking to first hire from within their own teacher pools. \n\n\n\nThe plan\n\n\n\nBurciaga said Southwest University officials began to consider creating a College of Education in 2023 after conversations with Workforce Solutions Borderplex representatives who said the region needed more teachers with special training. The university’s’s research included conversations with administrators from area school districts and the Texas Education Agency.\n\n\n\nA team led by James Ramos, the university’s academic dean, has stood up an advisory committee made up of pre-K-16 educators and administrators, business leaders and community members to help guide the program.\n\n\n\nThe college initially will offer bachelor’s degrees in Education Elementary (EC-6) and in Education Middle Grades (4-8). Both will have strong health sciences components and will follow TEA guidelines.\n\n\n\nThe college will offer morning and evening classes. While the six-week courses will be in-person, there will be some online elements. The college expects to add hybrid or online instruction as the program grows.\n\n\n\nSusana “Susy” Arzate, the college’s program development and strategic development coordinator, said the curriculum will include the basics about lesson plans, classroom management, and parental engagement. Students also will learn about the support they can access to fend off first-year burnout.\n\n\n\nSusana Arzate, a coordinator in the College of Education at Southwest University, describes the new teacher education program that will receive its first cohort this fall, April 6, 2026. (Corrie Boudreaux/El Paso Matters)\n\n\n\nThe university does not have extended winter, spring or summer breaks so students should earn their degrees in three-and-one-half years, and that includes clinical training. The college has affiliation agreements with the Anthony, El Paso, Socorro and Ysleta independent school districts.\n\n\n\n“I like to share with (students) that we’re traditionally nontraditional, but in a sense, it’s a traditional education,” Burciaga said.\n\n\n\nThe roll-out\n\n\n\nThe college initially planned a May 2026 launch, but decided to wait for August to align with the traditional academic year. As of early April, about 30 people had expressed interest in the program, but none had enrolled, Burciaga said. As enrollment was ongoing, Ramos said he could not provide any prospective education students for an interview.\n\n\n\nBurciaga said he expected to start with 25 to 30 students and three to five faculty and staff, and grow from there. Within five years, he projects education enrollment to be at 70-100 students, and about 200 students in 10 years.\n\n\n\nThe administrator said the college would build its faculty from applicants who meet the criteria and come from the school districts. They would have master’s degrees and experience in their teaching fields. Salaries would be competitive with other teacher preparation programs. According to Indeed, an international employment search engine, a higher education lecturer in a teacher preparation program in El Paso should earn from $50,000 to $65,000.\n\n\n\nFor-profit institutions entered the market in 2001 and by 2020 more than 50% of newly certified teachers got their training at for-profit institutions, which are generally more expensive and often offer quicker paths to graduation.  \n\n\n\nBurciaga estimated that the tuition and fees would be about $50,000 for the degree plan. There will be scholarship opportunities through community partners, such as the city of El Paso and the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo, and school districts that have “Grow-Your-Own” teacher initiatives.\n\n\n\nA similar four-year degree at UTEP would cost about $37,000.\n\n\n\nCollaboration\n\n\n\nThe Anthony and Ysleta superintendents, who have seniority among the partner districts, said they look forward to working with the new College of Education, its student teachers and graduates.\n\n\n\nXavier De La Torre, Ysleta ISD superintendent since 2014, said he was open to any program that would bring additional value to his district. YISD employs almost 2,400 teachers at 61 campuses. Until recently, the district hired about 60 teachers annually from traditional and online higher education institutions in Texas and beyond, as well as candidates who completed alternative teacher certification programs.\n\n\n\n“Our reputation as one of the best districts in the region and (No. 26) in the state of Texas for the best places to teach attracts more teachers than we can accommodate,” De La Torre told El Paso Matters in April.\n\n\n\nThe Anthony district is among the smallest in Region 19 with about 52 teachers in three schools. It does not host many student teachers, and averages about one teacher vacancy per year.\n\n\n\n“I think (a new teacher preparation program) is a good thing because the more candidates we have, … there’s a better likelihood that we’ll get a quality applicant for our students,” said Oscar Troncoso, leader of the Anthony district since 2019. “That’s the way I look at it. A little competition doesn’t hurt.”\n\n\n\nTroncoso, an educator in the region for almost 40 years, said that the most successful teachers in the region understand how to work with a large percentage of students who struggle academically, have behavior issues or socio-economic challenges.\n\n\n\n(Courtesy of Region 19)\n\n\n\nThe Anthony leader said that in his district, about 62% of his students are at-risk, and 22% are second-language learners. At-risk students have a higher than average chance of failing to meet academic milestones and dropping out of school due to social, academic or environmental issues.\n\n\n\nBurciaga said that the university has an agreement with the state and its accrediting body that 70% of its graduates will have a job in their field of study. That body is the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools, which is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. It has certified the university through 2029.\n\n\n\nConcerns\n\n\n\nDavid DeMatthews, the W.K. Kellogg Endowed Professor in the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy at the University of Texas at Austin, is leery of for-profit teacher education programs throughout Texas. That’s because they often hire faculty who lack robust credentials, do not have strong clinical partnerships, and graduate students without the skills to teach effectively, he said\n\n\n\n“Every kid deserves a great teacher,” DeMatthews said. “I think every Texan would agree with that. When you see a program open up and you don’t have any insight into any of those things, I think that’s really concerning.”\n\n\n\nDeMatthews, who served as an assistant professor in the University of Texas at El Paso’s Department of Educational Leadership and Foundations from 2013 to 2018, includes educator preparation among his research specialties. \n\n\n\nDavid DeMatthews (Courtesy of University of Texas at Austin)\n\n\n\nHe said his investigations into for-profit programs have found its graduates struggle academically, fail certification exams at high rates, and do not stay in the profession long.\n\n\n\nDeMatthews said Texas is in a crisis due to a teacher shortage and the proliferation of uncertified teachers being hired across the state. During the 2024-25 academic year, school districts across the state hired 42,103 uncertified teachers or about 12% of the teaching workforce. Among new teacher hires, 52% lacked credentials.\n\n\n\nStatistics in “Should States Reduce Teacher Licensing Requirements? Evidence from the Rise of For-Profit Training Programs in Texas,” a paper published in September 2025 by the National Bureau of Economic Research, shows that the demand for teachers remains high regardless of quality.\n\n\n\n“Passing the teacher certification exam should not even be the bar,” DeMatthews said. “There’s a lot of research on high-quality teacher preparation that I would say the leaders in our state have not prioritized.”\n\n\n\nBurciaga said that general aspersions aimed at for-profit institutions should not reflect on Southwest University’s College of Education, which has not launched yet.\n\n\n\n“We’re not part of that stat,” he said.\n\n\n\nClifton Tanabe, dean of the University of Texas at El Paso’s College of Education, did not respond to questions about the launch of the Southwest University’s new teacher preparation program, and about the trend in the number of future teachers his college graduates.\n\n\n\nPast, present and future\n\n\n\nSU opened in June 1999 as Southwest Career College. It was an academic option for people who wanted to learn English or earn a General Educational Development certificate. Within three years, it began to offer vocational courses. The college collaborated with business partners and continued to add programs throughout the decade.\n\n\n\nIn April 2009, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board authorized the college to award associate degrees in applied science. The same year, the institution changed its name to Southwest University of El Paso and began to offer bachelor’s degrees three years later.\n\n\n\nBurciaga said critics had doubted the quality of the university’s nursing program when it started 11 years ago, but their graduates have proven themselves to be day-one ready. He expects the same from its education graduates.\n\n\n\n“We are going to push them to their boundaries,” he said.\n\n\n\n\nThe post Southwest University to launch teacher preparation program amid El Paso schools’ enrollment decline appeared first on El Paso Matters.","url":"https://elpasomatters.org/2026/06/22/southwest-university-college-of-education-teacher-preparation-program/","source":"El Paso Matters","author":"Daniel Perez","publishDate":"2026-06-22T13:31:00.000Z","category":"schools","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi0.wp.com%2Felpasomatters.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2FCB_SouthwestUniversity-10.jpg%3Ffit%3D1024%252C683%26ssl%3D1","slug":"southwest-university-to-launch-teacher-preparation-program-amid-el-paso-schools-enrollment-decline"},{"id":"v9fleg","title":"Rusia todavía avanza a paso lento en el este de Ucrania, pero expertos dicen que las afirmaciones de progreso son exageradas","excerpt":"Daria Tarasova-Markina, Lauren Kent\n\n\nRusia todavía avanza a paso lento en la región de Donetsk, en el este de Ucrania, donde ha concentrado la mayor parte de sus tropas, mientras continúa los esfuerzos por cercar la ciudad clave del “cinturón de fortalezas” de Kostyantynivka y la ciudad de Lyman...","content":"Daria Tarasova-Markina, Lauren Kent\n\n\nRusia todavía avanza a paso lento en la región de Donetsk, en el este de Ucrania, donde ha concentrado la mayor parte de sus tropas, mientras continúa los esfuerzos por cercar la ciudad clave del “cinturón de fortalezas” de Kostyantynivka y la ciudad de Lyman.\n\n\nNo obstante, expertos externos y soldados ucranianos que hablaron con CNN dicen que las afirmaciones de avance de Rusia son exageradas y se producen mientras el Kremlin probablemente intenta proyectar una narrativa de éxito para contrarrestar el impacto de los recientes ataques ucranianos dentro de Rusia.\n\n\nEl medio estatal ruso TASS afirmó el lunes que las fuerzas rusas habían “obtenido el control total” de la parte oriental de Kostyantynivka y se habían acercado a sus afueras nororientales.\n\n\nEn realidad, partes de la ciudad se han convertido en una “zona gris” disputada —sin que ninguno de los dos bandos las controle—, según el centro de estudios con sede en Washington Instituto para el Estudio de la Guerra (ISW).\n\n\n“Estas son infiltraciones, no son avances. Son grupos de quizá uno o dos tipos, militares rusos, entrando en algunas posiciones en la ciudad… no es una posición consolidada”, dijo la jefa del equipo sobre Rusia del ISW, Kateryna Stepanenko, quien describió la táctica como lenta y desgastante. “Todavía necesitan bastante tiempo y bastantes recursos para realmente convertir eso en posiciones consolidadas”.\n\n\nSoldados ucranianos en la línea del frente dijeron a CNN que la situación allí empeora, aunque es manejable y los movimientos de Rusia siguen siendo muy lentos.\n\n\n“La situación en el sector de Kostyantynivka, particularmente en la propia Kostyantynivka, se ha estado deteriorando de manera notable en las últimas semanas”, dijo a CNN el martes Kostiantyn Melnykov, oficial de prensa de la 24.ª Brigada Mecanizada de Ucrania que combate en la cercana ciudad de Chasiv Yar. “El enemigo aumenta el número de ataques aéreos en este sector”.\n\n\nEl objetivo de Rusia es tomar toda la región ucraniana del Donbás, que contiene el “cinturón de fortalezas” de ciudades industriales, ferrocarriles y carreteras que forman la columna vertebral de la defensa del país y abastecen a la línea del frente. Eso incluye capturar Kostyantynivka y los asentamientos circundantes, algo que por ahora parece ser el principal objetivo de Rusia.\n\n\nPero Melnykov agregó que las unidades ucranianas en la zona están matando soldados rusos, destruyendo equipo y “contienen a las fuerzas del enemigo, muy superiores”.\n\n\nLa estrategia de Rusia ha sido enviar grupos de infantería muy pequeños —los que sobreviven a los avances hacia adelante— para infiltrarse en la ciudad. Es la misma táctica que Moscú utilizó para tomar la ciudad ucraniana de Pokrovsk a principios de 2026, una batalla que se prolongó durante meses después de que los soldados rusos se infiltraran por primera vez en la ciudad y que se caracterizó por muchas declaraciones prematuras de captura.\n\n\nEn algunos casos, las fuerzas ucranianas han visto a un solo soldado ruso avanzando, según Yuriy Madyar, comandante adjunto interino del 19.º Cuerpo de Ejército de Ucrania, en una entrevista con la emisora nacional ucraniana Suspilne la semana pasada.\n\n\nCNN no puede verificar de manera independiente la situación sobre el terreno.\n\n\nHay varias razones por las que Rusia intensifica ahora sus misiones de infiltración. Un comandante ruso publicó en Telegram el martes que sus fuerzas pudieron avanzar utilizando la cobertura del verdor del verano. Las buenas condiciones meteorológicas también facilitan volar drones, aunque eso también es cierto para Ucrania.\n\n\nY hay informes de que el Kremlin ha impuesto un plazo de septiembre para tomar la región del Donbás, aunque el ISW ha evaluado que es poco probable que Rusia logre ese objetivo.\n\n\n“Lo más importante es que quieren declarar victorias informativas. Los rusos experimentan bastantes vulnerabilidades en este momento”, dijo Stepanenko, citando los recientes ataques de Ucrania contra infraestructura en Crimea ocupada por Rusia, Jersón ocupada y más. “Las infiltraciones son una de las maneras en que Rusia logra hacer estas declaraciones grandilocuentes de victorias sin realmente alcanzar por completo sus objetivos”.\n\n\nEs probable que algunos elementos de los supuestos avances de Rusia sean falsos. Según el ISW, “los funcionarios rusos han intensificado recientemente su campaña para usar imágenes probablemente alteradas con IA para respaldar sus exageradas afirmaciones de éxitos rusos cerca del Cinturón de Fortalezas de Ucrania en el óblast de Donetsk”.\n\n\nPor ejemplo, el Ministerio de Defensa ruso publicó un video de sus soldados izando una bandera en Lyman, que el ISW dijo que no pudo verificar, y agregó que “tiene motivos para creer que las imágenes podrían estar alteradas con IA”.\n\n\nEn Lyman, las fuerzas ucranianas sí observan “una intensificación significativa de la actividad”, en particular al norte de la ciudad, según el portavoz de las Fuerzas Armadas de Ucrania, Viktor Tregubov, en una entrevista con medios locales. Pero Tregubov insistió en que las fuerzas ucranianas han logrado hacerla retroceder.\n\n\nTras ataques contra redes logísticas rusas en la zona, Tregubov dijo a Suspilne que “parece que ellos (los rusos) intentan lograr algunos resultados antes de que la situación con la logística, incluido el suministro de combustible y lubricantes, empiece a pasarles realmente factura”.\n\n\nMientras tanto, Kyiv ha incrementado la intensidad de sus ataques con drones de largo alcance contra grandes ciudades rusas.\n\n\nEn la madrugada del domingo al lunes, Ucrania atacó el área metropolitana de Moscú por tercera vez en la última semana.\n\n\nEl presidente de Rusia Vladimir Putin afirmó el martes que las Fuerzas Armadas de Ucrania “atacan infraestructura civil con drones en un intento de desestabilizar a la sociedad rusa”, según TASS.\n\n\nEso ocurre después de que Ucrania atacara la semana pasada una instalación petrolera en las afueras de Moscú, un ataque de gran magnitud ante el cual las defensas aéreas rusas se movilizaron para responder, y durante el cual un misil de defensa ruso pareció fallar su objetivo y, de manera involuntaria, voló la tapa de un tanque de almacenamiento de petróleo.\n\n\nAun así, Putin proyectó confianza sobre los objetivos bélicos de Rusia, y añadió: “Llegaremos adonde necesitamos”.\n\n\nKyiv también intensificó en los últimos días sus ataques contra objetivos en Crimea —la península ucraniana ocupada por Rusia desde 2014—, destruyendo un puente ferroviario que cruza el Canal de Crimea del Norte y atacando un depósito de petróleo durante la noche del lunes al martes.\n\n\nEl suministro eléctrico se interrumpió en la mayor ciudad de Crimea, Sebastopol, el miércoles tras ataques ucranianos contra la principal subestación eléctrica, según el gobernador de Sebastopol designado por Rusia, Mikhail Razvozhaev. Dos personas resultaron heridas en los ataques nocturnos, según Razvozhaev.\n\n\nLas autoridades locales en la península de Crimea —un popular destino de vacaciones de verano para los rusos— han cancelado en los últimos días los campamentos infantiles y se suspendieron todas las actividades deportivas al aire libre hasta nuevo aviso.\n\n\nDurante el fin de semana, las autoridades dijeron que cuatro personas murieron y 28 resultaron heridas en ataques ucranianos con drones.\n\n\nLa marina ucraniana afirmó que atacó varios de los ferris utilizados para transportar equipo militar ruso a la península, dejándolos fuera de servicio.\n\n\n“En esencia, Crimea está siendo aislada por drones. Y en un futuro cercano, parece que Crimea se convertirá en una isla”, advirtió el ministro de Defensa de Ucrania, Mykhailo Fedorov, en una entrevista con medios locales la semana pasada.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Neymar estuvo más nombrado entre los medios, como es costumbre, que en las listas y convocatorias de Carlo Ancelotti para volver a vestir la camiseta de la selección brasileña. Regresar a la selección y participar en lo que será su último Mundial es un ápice de esperanza que necesita el crack brasileño para mantenerse en la élite del fútbol, o al menos para ser considerado parte de la misma, la que ilustró durante sus mejores años.\n\n\nNeymar pasó el corte de los 55 preconvocados y, lleno de esperanza, esperó sumarse a los 26 para regresar a la selección después de más de 900 días de ausencia.\n\n\nMuchos se preguntan si llevar a Neymar al Mundial con 34 años es una carga para Brasil o una punta de lanza motivacional para el seleccionado. La generación que hoy juega su primera Copa del Mundo creció, sin duda, viendo los regates, récords y alegrías que entregó el ahora jugador del Santos.\n\n\nNeymar debutó con 18 años en la seleção y de inmediato hizo méritos para colgarse los galones portando la número 10, la misma que inmortalizó Pelé. Y por esa senda comenzó a pulverizar récords, superando la marca de 77 goles de O’ Rei, llegando a los 79 goles el 8 de septiembre de 2023, en una goleada por eliminatorias a Bolivia 5-1.\n\n\nNeymar ha sido el único crack en la historia del fútbol moderno en tener varias oportunidades de consagrarse en su propio país vistiendo los colores de la selección y con los mayores títulos de selecciones de por medio. De cinco, pudo sumar dos. Quizás el más valorado sea el oro olímpico de 2016.\n\n\nBrasil pudo gritar campeón olímpico por primera vez en su historia, jugando en casa y con un Neymar liderando el equipo que, en Londres cuatro años atrás y también con el crack en sus filas, se había quedado corto en la tarea y solo consiguió la plata. El oro fue reservado para conquistarlo en el estadio Maracaná.\n\n\nCinco años después y en medio de la pandemia, Brasil no tuvo la misma fortuna en su máximo templo del fútbol y cayó en la final de la Copa América ante Argentina. Neymar enfrentó en la final a Messi, su amigo cercano del Barcelona, y fue elegido mejor jugador del torneo.\n\n\nBrasil, pese a lo doloroso que fue perder esa final ante su acérrimo rival y en casa, ya había celebrado otra Copa América dos años antes, pero sin su 10, que sufrió una lesión del tobillo derecho poco antes de iniciar el torneo.\n\n\nA la fecha, el único título para Neymar con la absoluta de Brasil es la Copa Confederaciones 2013, de nuevo con el Maracaná como protagonista, tras vencer a España en la final.\n\n\nLos tres Mundiales que ha disputado Neymar han sido un vaivén de emociones y de lesiones. Por la calidad de este jugador deberíamos estar hablando de números más altos, pero Neymar en este período de 12 años sumó 8 goles en 13 partidos, con cuatro asistencias.\n\n\nAl Mundial de 2010 no llegó por su inexperiencia. El técnico, Dunga, no quiso apostar por su ímpetu y factor sorpresa, aunque tal vez entre Kaká, Robinho, Elan, Luis Fabiano y Nilmar, Neymar, a los ojos de Dunga, no tenía cómo competir.\n\n\nPara 2014 ya Neymar era una figura consagrada en el Barcelona y todo Brasil anhelaba ver a su máxima figura celebrar por todo lo alto en el Maracaná. Pero otros dos escenarios fueron los protagonistas de la desdicha de Neymar y Brasil durante ese Mundial.\n\n\nNeymar se despidió de la copa tras recibir un rodillazo del colombiano Camilo Zúñiga, que según un reporte médico, estuvo cerca de paralizar al brasileño. Después, en el Mineirao de Belo Horizonte, el fatídico 7-1 que le propinó Alemania a la selección local los dejó  afuera en semifinales. Neymar y el Mundial no iban de la mano.\n\n\nPara el Mundial de Rusia 2018, Brasil llegaba de nuevo con cierto favoritismo, pero un Neymar lleno de dudas por otra lesión que lo aquejaba en su pie derecho. Apenas llegó con lo justo.\n\n\nUna fractura en el quinto metatarsiano que necesitó cirugía lo mantuvo tres meses por fuera de las canchas, y con esa falta de ritmo a cuestas jugó el Mundial. ¿Cómo le fue? ni tan mal, ni tan bien. Estuvo en los cinco partidos hasta la eliminación contra Bélgica en cuartos, uno de los mejores encuentros de ese Mundial.\n\n\nEl 10 anotó dos goles y dio dos asistencias, pero al mismo tiempo fue blanco de críticas y protagonista de memes por sus simulaciones en el campo de juego.\n\n\nQatar 2022 tuvo a un Neymar ya maduro, con un nivel de juego estable, pero de nuevo el fantasma de las lesiones apareció en medio de la competición y una fuerte entrada en el partido del debut frente a Serbia lo obligó a salir del campo. Regresó para octavos y anotó en cuartos de final frente a Croacia épicamente, igualando la marca de Pelé de 77 goles en la selección.\n\n\nPero la historia de redención no tuvo final feliz y Croacia de la nada obligó a ir a la tanda de penales y eliminó a Brasil. El llanto de un Neymar desconsolado le dio la vuelta al mundo y el propio jugador reconoció el fuerte impacto que le hizo dudar sobre su continuidad en la selección.\n\n\nDe ahí en adelante la carrera de Neymar tomo un rumbo a la deriva y cada puerto tenía como punto de amarre una lesión.\n\n\nEn marzo de 2023 tuvo que ser operado del tobillo derecho y estuvo poco más de cuatro meses de baja.\n\n\nEn octubre de 2023 sufrió la lesión más grave de su carrera: rotura del ligamento cruzado anterior y menisco de la rodilla izquierda. Estuvo casi un año de baja.\n\n\nEntre 2024 y 2025, las lesiones musculares hicieron que la participación de Ney en las canchas fueran intermitentes.\n\n\nEn el comienzo de 2026 se sometió a una limpieza de rodilla que lo alejó dos meses de los campos.\n\n\nUna lucha constante por brillar con la selección ha sido la carrera de Neymar en medio de aplausos, récords, algunas críticas y lesiones.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Consigues tu primer empleo, un trabajo de la construcción que durará algunos meses. Poco después, caes enfermo con síntomas de gripe, dejas de percibir ingresos y no sabes dónde atenderte, corriendo el riesgo de gastar todos tus ahorros en el doctor. ¿Qué haces en este escenario?\n\n\nEl complejo sistema de salud estadounidense obliga a miles de inmigrantes a atravesar esta y muchas otras situaciones. No saber qué hacer o a dónde ir para atenderse es más común de lo que parece. Y es por esta razón que la organización sin fines de lucro Migrant Clinicians Network (MCN) creó una manera sencilla y creativa para ayudar: cómics para entender ese sistema.\n\n\nMCN es una organización mundial que fue creada en EE.UU. en la década de 1980 y que actualmente tiene más de 10.000 miembros. Uno de ellos es Alma Galván, directora de Capacitación y Participación Comunitaria en todo lo que se refiere a trabajadores, ambiente y clima.\n\n\nGalván explica que el trabajo de la organización consiste en “desarrollar materiales educativos y la capacidad de los proveedores de servicios de salud para que atiendan a las poblaciones migrantes”.\n\n\nEl material educativo más reciente de MCN es un cómic. Lleva por nombre “El que busca encuentra: aprendiendo sobre los servicios de salud” y fue publicado en 2025.\n\n\n“(El cómic) está dirigido a personas que llegan nuevas a este país y está en los términos más sencillos que se puedan utilizar”, dice Galván en entrevista con CNN.\n\n\nA través de dibujos y situaciones hipotéticas que les ocurren a diversos tipos de migrantes (desde trabajadores recién llegados y mujeres embarazadas, hasta niños con vacunas faltantes, adultos mayores con necesidades especiales), el cómic ayuda a comprender de manera más fácil las formas de atención médica en EE.UU. y los seguros médicos que pueden ser de mayor utilidad para estas poblaciones.\n\n\nEntre otras situaciones, el cómic plantea la diferencia entre atenderse una afección no grave (como una gripe o una tos) en un centro de salud o centro comunitario y atenderse en una sala médica de urgencias. Mientras que la primera opción tiene un costo bajo, la segunda podría elevar el precio de la atención a cientos de dólares.\n\n\n“Cumplía con los objetivos educativos de aclarar qué es la atención primaria, qué es la atención preventiva y qué es urgencias”, añade Galván.\n\n\nEl cómic, que tardó 6 meses en desarrollarse, tuvo una aceptación del 90 %, un tiraje de 11.000 copias gracias al apoyo de patrocinadores y se distribuyó en decenas de centros de salud a lo largo de 15 estados de EE.UU. (entre ellos Nuevo México, Texas, California y Arizona, los cuatro en la frontera con México y, por ende, de alta relevancia para la población migrante), según datos de MCN proporcionados a CNN. Las copias fueron “distribuidas a nivel nacional a refugios para migrantes e inmigrantes, organizaciones comunitarias y centros de salud financiados con fondos federales”, agrega la organización.\n\n\n“El libro está enfocado a que la salud es un derecho universal (…) Lo que esperamos a largo plazo es que se disminuyan las visitas a emergencias, que la persona vaya a servicios preventivos y no tenga tantos costos”, detalla la directiva de MCN.\n\n\nA pesar de la cobertura en 15 estados, Galván sabe que es poco respecto al sector del que ella misma forma parte como inmigrante de México. A mediados de 2025, había una población de 51,9 millones de inmigrantes viviendo en Estados Unidos, lo que equivale a casi 16 % de la población de todo el país. La nacionalidad que más se repite en la población inmigrante de EE.UU. es la mexicana, con más de 11 millones, lo que se traduce como una de las consecuencias de la migración histórica entre México y Estados Unidos. Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, República Dominicana, Colombia, Honduras y Venezuela suman millones de personas más a la población inmigrante latina.\n\n\nGalván destaca que el cómic es parte de la corriente de educación popular, la cual, dice, se basa en que la gente utilice la información en situaciones reales.\n\n\nEsto último es de suma importancia para el país. De acuerdo con los Institutos Nacionales de Salud (NIH, por sus siglas en inglés) de EE.UU., uno de los principales objetivos en materia de alfabetización de salud hacia 2030 es “hacer hincapié en la capacidad de las personas para utilizar la información sobre salud, en lugar de simplemente comprenderla”, así como “en la capacidad de tomar decisiones bien informadas en lugar de decisiones apropiadas”.\n\n\n“(Es necesario) reconocer que las organizaciones tienen la responsabilidad de abordar la alfabetización en salud”, indican los NIH. “La alfabetización en salud es un fenómeno complejo que involucra a individuos, familias, comunidades y sistemas. El concepto de alfabetización en salud abarca los materiales, los entornos y los desafíos específicamente relacionados con la prevención de enfermedades y la promoción de la salud”.\n\n\nMCN creó el cómic, pero también ayuda con capacitaciones para las organizaciones que quieran utilizar el libro como un material educativo, comenta Galván. Con ello, MCN busca no solo guiar a los inmigrantes en temas de salud, sino expandir el uso de la información a través del conocimiento y el uso real de los materiales.\n\n\nAsimismo, para apoyar con la expansión de este material educativo, MCN tiene siempre disponible, de manera gratuita, el cómic en su versión web.\n\n\n“Una de las cosas que estamos haciendo es que, con todos los libros cómicos, le pedimos al ilustrador que haga la versión para el sitio de internet (…) A veces cuando no tenemos el dinero (para imprimir copias), lo que hacemos es que lo dejamos solamente electrónico y que cada quien que lo imprima si lo necesita”, declara Galván.\n\n\n“Es una gran necesidad en los Estados Unidos como en otros países (…), porque la alfabetización en salud no es un atributo que tengamos las personas, es difícil de entender los sistemas de salud”, agrega.\n\n\nSi bien el más reciente material educativo se remonta a 2025 con “El que busca encuentra”, MCN lleva haciendo cómics desde hace décadas.\n\n\nGalván, una migrante mexicana que lleva 9 años trabajando de lleno con MCN y más como colaboradora externa, ha sido testigo de ello. Ha participado en la creación de varios de ellos y menciona que los temas de cada cómic nacen de necesidades detectadas en la comunidad migrante (a través de grupos focales, por ejemplo) y luego buscan financiamiento para realizarlo.\n\n\n“(Tenemos cómics) de diabetes, tenemos muchos materiales sobre salud mental, tenemos materiales sobre el covid-19, sobre vacunación”, indica Galván.\n\n\nTambién hay cómics sobre el control de la grasa, el colesterol y la hipertensión; sobre la salud respiratoria y la contaminación ambiental; sobre cómo protegerse de los pesticidas en ambientes de trabajo; sobre consejos de seguridad en trabajos agrícolas, entre otros, todos de libre consulta en la página web de la organización. MCN centra algunos de sus esfuerzos de alfabetización sanitaria en la clase trabajadora inmigrante debido a que una parte significativa de la fuerza laboral de EE.UU. proviene de otros países: se calcula que alrededor de dos de cada 10 trabajadores en Estados Unidos son inmigrantes.\n\n\nEl impacto de estos cómics ha sido tan relevante en la comunidad laboral que hace unos meses MCN ganó el premio al Mejor Póster por “Cómics Educativos para la Educación en Salud Individual y Comunitaria” en el simposio de primavera del Centro Nacional para la Salud de los Trabajadores Agrícolas (NCFH, por sus siglas en inglés).\n\n\nMCN elaboró su primer cómic educativo en 2002, afirma Galván a CNN. Desde entonces, la organización ha creado 16 libros cómicos diferentes, sin incluir algunas versiones o adaptaciones a estados de EE.UU. o al Caribe.\n\n\n“Los libros cómicos y todos los materiales que desarrollamos en MCN, desde los seminarios virtuales hasta los cómics y volantes, son específicamente dedicados a la población que no tiene una alfabetización en salud o una alfabetización en general importante”, señala.\n\n\nAunque el objetivo es ayudar principalmente a los migrantes, los cómics buscan que los proveedores de servicios de salud en EE.UU. se hagan “conscientes” de que ellos también “tienen que desarrollar materiales más accesibles”.\n\n\nJoseline Islas Castro es inmigrante mexicana y trabaja como promotora comunitaria de la salud. Lleva 10 años trabajando con organizaciones en Estados Unidos en favor de las poblaciones migrantes.\n\n\nEn ese tiempo, Islas Castro ha trabajado de cerca con Galván en varias ocasiones y, en tiempos recientes, ya participó en la creación de dos cómics de MCN.\n\n\nPara ella, el gran valor de los cómics está en que las situaciones planteadas son experiencias que sí viven normalmente los inmigrantes en EE.UU.\n\n\n“Fue superbonito verlo (el cómic de ‘El que busca encuentra’, en el cual colaboró), porque yo no había tenido la oportunidad de ver un cómic así. Cuando yo lo estaba viendo, me vi reflejada en él ya que así llegué (a Estados Unidos), con cero conocimientos de cómo es el sistema de salud aquí”, dice Islas Castro en entrevista con CNN.\n\n\nEl trabajo de colaboración de Joseline se centró en realizar modificaciones para que el cómic fuera aún más realista y que los personajes ahí plasmados tuvieran gran parecido con inmigrantes de la vida real.\n\n\n“Yo lo viví y las personas lo van a entender mejor de esta forma. Dándole ese toque de que ya me pasó a mí, es como las personas pueden identificarse”, recuerda Islas Castro sobre su trabajo en el cómic “El que busca encuentra”.\n\n\nAl relatar la historia desde cinco puntos de vista diferentes, es altamente probable que te identifiques como migrante en alguna de esas historias, dice Joseline, promotora comunitaria de la salud en Salinas, California.\n\n\nIslas Castro no solamente participó en la creación del cómic, sino también en capacitaciones para aprender a utilizarlo como herramienta educativa.\n\n\nEn reuniones comunitarias con inmigrantes, “se les habla un poquito acerca de cómo va narrando la historia y se les hace una pequeña presentación (…) Muchos ya saben la información, pero otros no. De todos modos, es bueno que reciban la información (…) Siempre vamos a encontrar a alguien que va a necesitar ese tipo de información y, si nosotros se la podemos brindar, qué mejor”, dice la promotora de salud.\n\n\nY es en esas reuniones donde Joseline ve cómo los inmigrantes casi siempre se identifican con un personaje “y es cuando empieza la conexión entre todos”.\n\n\nEntonces, la capacitación se convierte prácticamente en una sesión de experiencias de vida.\n\n\n“Empiezan a narrar sus historias de qué les pasó, cómo fue que solucionaron esos retos que tuvieron en ese entonces y empiezan a sacar más historias relacionadas con el librito cómico (en materia de salud) y con sus vidas”, añade Islas Castro.\n\n\nLa clave en el éxito de los cómics, asegura Joseline, es en parte el uso de un lenguaje claro y sin complicaciones en una historia adaptada en dibujos animados.\n\n\n“Si tú les das un material donde los migrantes puedan leer fácil y que sea accesible de entender, entonces mucho mejor para ellos la ayuda”, declara.\n\n\nSe trata, dice Islas Castro, de ir más allá del típico folleto o tríptico con información poco clara y con tecnicismos médicos que generalmente complican más el entendimiento del tema. “Si te dan un librito cómico con imágenes y alguna historia que te identifiques, te va a dar por leerlo”, indica.\n\n\n“Lo mejor desde mi punto de vista es darle ese toque de que he tenido la experiencia desde afuera y desde el campo y de diferentes perspectivas. Creo que ese es mi granito de arena que aporto a esos cómics”, finaliza Islas Castro.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

The disclosure also reveals that the White House counsel’s office was involved in finalizing the settlement.\n\n\n“In February 2026, Mr. Rapino discussed a variety of topics related to Live Nation’s business with President Donald J. Trump; the status of DOJ’s lawsuit against Defendants came up but no substantive terms regarding any potential settlement were discussed,” Live Nation disclosed in a court filing.\n\n\nThe filing raises questions about whether Trump was personally behind the settlement and how closely he is involved in Justice Department decision-making.\n\n\nIn a statement, a Justice Department official celebrated the settlement with Live Nation.\n\n\n“For the first time ever, Live Nation will allow artists to use other promoters at Live Nation venues. This means an artist is no longer tied to using Live Nation’s promotional service if they want to play at a particular venue,” the official said. “For fans, there will be a service fee cap for concerts at amphitheaters and new ways to obtain tickets on a variety of platforms. For venue owners, Live Nation is required to offer venues the option to sell tickets through a third-party.”\n\n\nThe official said the settlement will enable competition which will lower prices.\n\n\n“The Department’s overriding interest was providing immediate relief for consumers rather than risk an adverse decision or years of continued appellate litigation,” they said.\n\n\nThe White House referred questions to the Justice Department.\n\n\nThe conversation took place just weeks before the landmark antitrust trial began and the same month senior Justice Department leadership pushed out Gail Slater, the head of the Justice Department’s antitrust division. Slater was known to advocate for aggressive approaches to the antitrust cases she oversaw\n\n\nOn March 5, representatives of Live Nation, the antitrust division, the attorney general’s office, deputy attorney general’s office and White House counsel’s office met to finalize the settlement, and hammered out a term sheet signed that day, according to the court filing.\n\n\nThe Live Nation settlement with DOJ was announced during the second week of the trial and blindsided the judge overseeing the case as well as the Justice Department trial team handling the case before the jury.\n\n\nJudge Arun Subramanian summoned Rapino and the head of the antitrust division to court for a testy hearing. During the hearing, the judge said it was “mind boggling” that DOJ attorneys did not know about deal.\n\n\nThe trial resumed with more than 30 state attorneys general moving forward. The jury found Live Nation acted as a monopoly and overcharged fans.\n\n\nAfter the verdict was announced, Slater wrote on X, “You made antitrust history today. You fought the good fight, you finished the race, and you kept the faith.”\n\n\nThe judge will ultimately decide whether to approve the DOJ settlement and assign remedies or damages in light of the verdict.\n\n\nCorrection: This story has been updated to correctly attribute a statement from a Justice Department official.\n\n\nCNN’s Hannah Rabinowitz contributed to this report.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Para Lane, el barco de 642 pies de eslora y ocho cubiertas se convertiría en su residencia permanente.\n\n\n“No estoy de viaje”, dijo Lane a CNN Travel por videollamada desde el barco, un año después de su partida. “Este es nuestro hogar. Aquí es donde vivimos”.\n\n\nEl Villa Vie Odyssey no es un crucero común. Es una embarcación “residencial”, lo que significa que los pasajeros pueden comprar camarotes y vivir en el barco a tiempo completo. Para Lane, este es un plan “para siempre”. Su objetivo es seguir viviendo a bordo mientras el barco siga en funcionamiento. Aunque fue renovado recientemente, la embarcación acumula tres décadas de servicio. El año pasado, la compañía estimó que le quedaban 15 años de vida útil en el mar.\n\n\n“Esto es un hogar”, dijo Lane. “Simplemente vivo en el barco y disfruto de él”.\n\n\nOperado por la startup de cruceros Villa Vie Residences, el Odyssey zarpó bajo este nuevo concepto por primera vez en septiembre de 2024, tras un comienzo accidentado: un plan anterior para un crucero de larga duración se vino abajo antes de conseguir una embarcación, seguido de una serie de retrasos antes de la salida.\n\n\nLane se unió al barco en junio de 2025, cuando la mayoría de los desafíos operativos iniciales ya habían sido resueltos. Para Lane, una exmaestra de escuela, el Odyssey es un plan de retiro. Hizo cuentas y concluyó que vivir en el barco era más económico —y mucho más emocionante— que quedarse en casa en California. Siempre le ha gustado viajar y vivió durante dos años en Sudáfrica en la década de 1990. Se aficionó a los cruceros porque le encanta la sensación de estar a la deriva en el mar.\n\n\nLane, que ronda los 80 años, mantiene el contacto con su familia a distancia, incluidos sus dos nietos adultos. Disfruta tener una comunidad integrada en el barco, de la que puede apartarse fácilmente cuando quiere tiempo para sí misma. Gracias al tamaño de la embarcación, siempre puede encontrar un lugar tranquilo para perderse en un libro.\n\n\nLane invirtió los ahorros de toda su vida en este proyecto y al principio eligió la opción más económica: un camarote interior sin ventanas.\n\n\n“No paso mucho tiempo en mi habitación”, dijo Lane.\n\n\nVilla Vie Residences dijo a CNN que la propiedad de un camarote por cinco años comienza en US$ 59.999. Los precios de propiedad total comienzan en US$ 99.999. Existen además varios planes de ocupación. Los propietarios también pagan cuotas mensuales que, en 2025, equivalían a US$ 2.000 por persona al mes en ocupación doble y US$ 3.000 para ocupación individual.\n\n\nLos precios han fluctuado desde que el barco comenzó a navegar y el proyecto ganó impulso. También existen tarifas con descuento para pasajeros mayores.\n\n\n“También hemos ampliado las opciones de alquiler”, dijo a CNN el director ejecutivo de Villa Vie Residences, Mikael Petterson, quien explicó que esta modalidad permite que “más personas experimenten la vida a bordo antes de decidir si la propiedad es adecuada para ellas”.\n\n\nAun así, según Petterson, la mayoría de las personas a bordo está comprometida con el proyecto a largo plazo.\n\n\n“Actualmente, los propietarios superan a los arrendatarios en una proporción aproximada de tres a uno”, dijo a CNN. Poco más de la mitad de quienes viven a bordo viajan solos, como Lane.\n\n\nY aunque los precios de un camarote en Villa Vie no son bajos, siguen siendo relativamente accesibles en comparación con The World, la única otra experiencia de crucero residencial actualmente en funcionamiento, orientada a un mercado más exclusivo y con precios iniciales de US$ 3,5 millones. Existen otros proyectos de barcos residenciales en desarrollo, como NJORD, que se define como una “comunidad exclusiva en el mar”, aunque todavía no se han concretado.\n\n\nA bordo, la comida y las bebidas no alcohólicas están incluidas en las cuotas mensuales de los residentes. También el alcohol durante la cena, el wifi y las consultas médicas (aunque no los procedimientos ni los medicamentos). Además, hay servicio a la habitación las 24 horas, limpieza semanal y servicio de lavandería quincenal sin costo adicional.\n\n\nY, por supuesto, quienes viven a bordo pueden dar la vuelta al mundo, con escalas en puertos que van desde Tokio hasta Hawai. Las excursiones en tierra son opcionales y tienen un costo adicional.\n\n\nDurante los primeros meses de navegación del Odyssey, Villa Vie enfrentó algunas cancelaciones de escalas portuarias que, según Petterson, se debieron al clima, además de trámites burocráticos y problemas logísticos en destinos donde se requieren embarcaciones auxiliares para trasladar a los pasajeros a tierra.\n\n\nPosteriormente, Villa Vie construyó pasarelas personalizadas para conectar el barco con esas embarcaciones auxiliares, diseñadas para reducir el movimiento provocado por las olas y el oleaje.\n\n\nEstas pasarelas ya están en uso en el Odyssey.\n\n\n“Se necesitan hasta cuatro horas para instalarlas y otras cuatro para desmontarlas, por lo que solo las utilizamos cuando permanecemos fondeados durante varios días y en buenas condiciones meteorológicas”, dijo Petterson. “Las utilizaremos cada vez más en puertos tropicales de fondeo, como los de Maldivas”.\n\n\nEntre escalas, los residentes tienen mucho para disfrutar a bordo, desde entretenimiento organizado oficialmente hasta actividades impulsadas por los propios pasajeros, incluidas producciones teatrales amateur.\n\n\nAlgunos residentes del Odyssey trabajan de forma remota desde el barco. Muchos documentan sus aventuras en redes sociales o blogs. Incluso hay mascotas viajeras a bordo.\n\n\nLane suele evitar gran parte de las actividades organizadas porque no son de su gusto, aunque le encanta conversar con las personas interesantes que también consideran al Odyssey su hogar.\n\n\n“La cena dura mucho tiempo aquí porque usamos la hora de la comida como un momento social. Te sientas con otras personas, comes y puedes pasar una hora y media o incluso dos horas”, dijo.\n\n\n“Hay quienes van al karaoke, ven una película, bailan o van al teatro, y yo no. No es lo mío. Hay personas que han intentado convencerme de jugar bridge, pero no tengo absolutamente ningún interés en hacerlo”.\n\n\nAun así, durante un tiempo disfrutó de las noches semanales de trivias del barco y ocasionalmente se siente tentada por alguna película. Comienza el día con 10 minutos en la caminadora del gimnasio del Odyssey, disfrutando las vistas del océano abierto. Actualmente, su proyecto de las noches es aprender español en línea. Lane también pasó gran parte del último año dejando su camarote exactamente como quería. Como se trata de una decisión a largo plazo, nunca sintió prisa por perfeccionar el espacio.\n\n\nLane también cambió de camarote dos meses después, tras encontrar una mejor oferta a bordo, con un precio ajustado a su edad.\n\n\nSu camarote actual es una mejora: a diferencia del anterior, tiene ventanas. Aunque vendió muchas de sus pertenencias antes de embarcar, ha disfrutado convertir el espacio en un verdadero hogar.\n\n\n“No vi ninguna razón para apresurarme”, dijo Lane sobre el proceso de apropiarse del lugar. “Quería adaptarme al barco, entender cómo funcionaban las cosas y encontrar una rutina para mi vida”.\n\n\nEso incluyó encontrar su rincón favorito en el barco. Tras probar distintos espacios para descansar, finalmente eligió una silla cómoda en uno de los pasillos del Odyssey, justo entre el bar deportivo y el centro de negocios.\n\n\n“Tienes una luz sobre la cabeza para leer y unas ventanas enormes, gigantes, de lado a lado, así que puedes literalmente ver pasar el océano”, dijo Lane. “Leo mi libro, miro hacia afuera y disfruto del paisaje. Me gusta especialmente durante los días de navegación, porque ves el océano moverse de verdad”.\n\n\nLane rara vez baja del barco. Eligió un crucero como hogar más por las vistas del mar que por explorar nuevos puertos. También es cautelosa con los traslados entre el barco y tierra en embarcaciones auxiliares debido a una lesión de espalda de larga duración que teme agravar con el movimiento de las olas.\n\n\nAun así, a veces hay algo en tierra que siente que “la llama”, y entonces no puede resistirse a bajar para echar un vistazo. En Japón visitó el monte Fuji, aunque calificó la excursión como “un fracaso” porque la lluvia y las nubes impidieron ver el paisaje.\n\n\nCuando baja a tierra, sus momentos favoritos no son necesariamente los grandes atractivos turísticos, sino las interacciones casuales y memorables con la gente local.\n\n\n“Estábamos en Hobart, Australia, y entré a una pequeña ferretería familiar”, recordó.\n\n\n“Simplemente estamos viviendo la vida y viendo que las personas al otro lado del mundo son bastante parecidas a nosotros. Me encanta esa parte cultural, ver cómo vive la gente y descubrir lo que tenemos en común. Fue divertido. No fue nada extraordinario, pero nunca lo olvidaré porque fue muy agradable”.\n\n\nA bordo, Lane también disfruta conectar con personas de distintos lugares. Según Petterson, el 80 % de los propietarios del Villa Vie Odyssey proviene de Estados Unidos y Canadá, seguidos por Australia y Nueva Zelandia, por lo que describe al barco como “una comunidad global vibrante”.\n\n\nLane recuerda una cena en la que conectó con una pareja australiana y otra escocesa gracias a su afición compartida por las novelas de crimen. Le encantó descubrir que todos tenían un mismo autor favorito.\n\n\nSegún Lane, quienes subieron al barco en el mismo puerto y el mismo día también desarrollan un vínculo especial.\n\n\n“Es como graduarse de la escuela secundaria: tenemos la misma fecha de graduación, solo que nosotros nos graduamos de la vida en tierra a la vida en el océano”, bromeó.\n\n\nPara Lane, la parte más difícil de vivir a bordo es que no todos permanecen para siempre y, a veces, establece vínculos estrechos con personas que luego abandonan el barco. Aun así, mantiene el contacto con muchos de sus antiguos compañeros, incluida una buena amiga que pasó una temporada en el barco antes de regresar a Cabo San Lucas, México.\n\n\n“Planea volver a reunirse con nosotros el próximo año, cuando estemos en Europa, así que podré verla entonces. Además, hacemos videollamadas”, dijo Lane.\n\n\nAunque algunos residentes van y vienen, Lane asegura que suele ser fácil distinguir entre quienes ven el Odyssey como un destino de vacaciones y quienes están comprometidos con el proyecto a largo plazo.\n\n\n“Puedes darte cuenta por la forma en que hablan de ‘casa’”, dijo.\n\n\nPara Lane, su hogar ya no está en California. Está dondequiera que el Odyssey aparezca actualmente en el mapa del mundo.\n\n\nDespués de un año a bordo, Lane asegura que aún no ha echado de menos prepararse una comida por sí misma, y definitivamente no extraña lavar ropa ni limpiar. Dejar de preocuparse por las tareas domésticas es “el paraíso”, dijo.\n\n\nEn general, Lane dice que se siente “alejada del mundo real”, y así es como le gusta.\n\n\n“Si el mundo real es conducir hasta una gasolinera y ver que los precios están altísimos ahora, si el mundo real es ir al supermercado y hacer una larga fila, si el mundo real es pagar facturas y preocuparse por lo que ocurre en distintos lugares, entonces no, gracias”, dijo.\n\n\nEso no significa que Lane y los demás residentes del Odyssey no sigan las noticias del mundo.\n\n\n“Estamos atentos y nos mantenemos informados unos a otros cuando ocurren cosas”, dijo, señalando que los residentes tienen amigos y familiares en distintas partes del mundo afectados por la geopolítica.\n\n\nLas consecuencias de la guerra con Irán —el cierre de espacios aéreos y vías marítimas, además del aumento de los precios del combustible— también han afectado directamente al Odyssey.\n\n\n“Hemos tenido que mantenernos flexibles y ocasionalmente ajustar rutas o escalas portuarias en función de los acontecimientos mundiales”, explicó Petterson, quien señaló que la empresa intenta crear itinerarios más flexibles que puedan adaptarse mejor a eventos impredecibles.\n\n\nLane calificó los precios y la escasez de combustible como “una gran preocupación”, aunque dijo sentirse satisfecha de ver que Villa Vie ha intentado encontrar soluciones alternativas.\n\n\n“Sin combustible no nos movemos, así que es importante”, dijo. “No siempre nos gusta todo lo que vemos, pero realmente no podemos cambiarlo de manera individual, así que trato de no preocuparme por ello”.\n\n\n“Afortunadamente, nuestro modelo residencial nos permite una mayor flexibilidad para optimizar rutas y tiempo en puerto, lo que nos ayuda a gestionar los costos mientras mantenemos el viaje”, dijo Petterson.\n\n\nLane celebró su primer aniversario en el barco con una cena junto a otros residentes que también cumplían un año a bordo.\n\n\n“Muchos cenamos juntos”, dijo. “También hubo un anuncio para todo el barco deseándonos un feliz aniversario”.\n\n\nUn año después, Lane asegura que se siente más feliz que nunca.

This is the first time an appeals court has weighed in, potentially setting up the stage for a Supreme Court showdown on the issue.\n\n\nWriting for the appellate panel majority, Circuit Judge Andre Mathis said the 1960 civil rights law Justice Department was relying on in its lawsuit seeking to force the production of the data did not cover Michigan’s aggregated voter file.\n\n\n“Back then, the government used this power to ensure that everyone who had the right to vote could freely exercise that right,” Mathis wrote. “But today, the government invokes Title III for an inverse purpose—to ensure that some people have not voted.”\n\n\nMichigan Attorney General Dana Nessel applauded the ruling, writing in a statement Wednesday, “The federal government continues to show a blatant disregard for voter privacy, but the rule of law has once again prevailed.”\n\n\nThe Justice Department has sued 30 states that have refused to produce their unredacted voter rolls.\n\n\nThe sweeping DOJ campaign for nearly every state’s unredacted voter roll is one of several examples of how the administration – fueled by President Donald Trump’s longstanding beliefs that the 2020 election was rigged against him – has sought to assert more federal control in elections.\n\n\nCourts, however, have pushed back at many of those efforts. Just this week, a judge in DC blocked the use of the federal citizenship data system for purging voter rolls, and earlier Wednesday, a ruling from a Boston federal court added to the pile of decisions striking down parts of a 2025 Trump executive order related to election rules.\n\n\nIn the case before the 6th Circuit, the dispute centered on whether the Justice Department could use provisions of the 1960 Civil Rights Act – which was aimed at pushing back on Jim Crow-era voter discrimination – to obtain voter rolls.\n\n\nThe law gives the attorney general the authority to demand the production of certain voting-related records that “come into” the “possession” of election officials. But the 6th Circuit – joining several other lower courts – concluded that the voter registration files that are assembled and maintained internally by states weren’t among the records the law covers.\n\n\nMichigan Secretary of State Jocelyn “Benson did not acquire, obtain, or receive the qualified voter file from a third party. Instead, Michigan officials created it themselves,” Mathis wrote in the opinion, which was joined by Circuit Judge R. Guy Cole, Jr. The ruling also said the Justice Department had failed to meet other requirements under the law in making its requests for the data.\n\n\nCircuit Judge John B. Nalbandian dissented.\n\n\nAs the Michigan case and the several others unfolded, DOJ lawyers gave shifting explanations for why they needed the voter files. But more recently, the administration has been clear that it plans to compare the state voter rolls against a Department of Homeland Security data system for verifying citizenship. That tool is already available for election officials to use voluntarily, and it has developed a reputation for turning up false positives because the data can be outdated, with naturalized citizens particularly at risk of being wrongly identified as ineligible voters.\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional details.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Lumumba was assassinated less than seven months later in January 1961 at the age of just 35.\n\n\nMore than six decades on, Patrice Lumumba remains one of the most revered figures in Congolese history. And through his now famous matchday ritual, Mboladinga is helping keep his legacy alive through The Beautiful Game.\n\n\nWhy Patrice Lumumba?\n\n\n\nIt may seem remarkable that a leader who spent less than three months in power continues to command such reverence over 65 years after his death.\n\n\nBut Lumumba was far more than a just politician.\n\n\nHe became a symbol of Congolese nationalism during its struggle against Belgian colonial rule, which began when King Leopold II established the Congo Free State in 1885.\n\n\nHe was the figurehead of the DRC’s brutal fight for freedom, and a man who civil rights activist Malcolm X lauded as “the greatest Black man who ever walked the African continent” in 1964.\n\n\nBecause of this, “he’s my inspiration,” Mboladinga told CNN Sports from Mexico on Monday night. “Patrice Lumumba is a symbol of unity – the one who taught Congolese to stand and to be proud.”\n\n\nNothing encapsulated that more than his famous Independence Day speech at the Palace of the Nation in Léopoldville (current-day Kinshasa) on June 30, 1960.\n\n\nStanding before King Baudouin of Belgium – the great-great-nephew of Leopold II – from whom his nation had just gained its independence, Patrice Lumumba gave a stunning speech where he excoriated Belgian colonialism.\n\n\n“Although this independence of the Congo is being proclaimed today … no Congolese will ever forget that independence was won in struggle,” he declared.\n\n\n“Morning, noon and night, we were subjected to jeers, insults and blows because we were ‘Negroes.’ We shall show the world what the Black man can do when working in liberty, and we shall make the Congo the pride of Africa.”\n\n\nThe speech reverberated around the world and was “one of the most important speeches in the 20th century,” Dr. Reuben Loffman – a historian, author and senior lecturer in African history at Queen Mary University of London, specializing in DR Congo – told CNN Sports.\n\n\nLumumba’s scathing remarks of June 1960 were not only “fundamental to his reputation, but also marked him out in the United States’ mind,” Loffman said.\n\n\n“Because, bear in mind, the Cold War was happening, so they were particularly paranoid and thinking, ‘You’re a communist.’\n\n\n“But of course, he wasn’t. Lumumba just wanted Congo for Congolese.”\n\n\nWithin three months of that speech, the inaugural prime minister was removed from power by then-president Joseph Kasa-Vubu.\n\n\nA further three months later, military forces led by Mobutu Sese Seko – who later served as president for 32 years from 1965-1997 – captured him and flew him to Katanga in southeastern Congo, where he was subjected to torture and ultimately executed by firing squad.\n\n\nAfter the execution, his body was first thrown into a shallow grave, but later dug up, dismembered, and his remains were dissolved in acid.\n\n\nThe only known remnant of Lumumba was a gold-crowned tooth, which Belgian police officer Gérard Soete – who confessed that he was the one responsible for dismembering the body and dissolving his remains – kept for 39 years until his death in 2000.\n\n\nSoete’s daughter then had possession of the tooth until 2016, by which point it was then seized by Belgian authorities and only eventually returned to Lumumba’s family and buried in 2022.\n\n\nToday, it now rests in a specialized mausoleum in Kinshasa, where a commemorative statue of the independence hero stands with his right arm raised – the same pose Mboladinga now imitates that has brought him such widespread recognition.\n\n\n‘A living statue’\n\n\n\nMboladinga’s tribute has become one of African soccer’s most recognizable sights and was on full display for the first time at this World Cup when DRC took on Colombia in Zapopan, Mexico, on Tuesday.\n\n\nPart of the fascination with Mboladinga’s tribute comes from the symbolism. The other part comes from the simple question on everyones minds: How does one stay still with their arm raised for so long?\n\n\n“Believe it or not, but I do practice,” he told CNN Sports ahead of the game. “I can actually practice 20 days out of a month, but I’ll also take a lot of rest.”\n\n\nThe extreme heat and humidity in North America is another factor that could test Mboladinga’s resolve, as he attends games suited and booted regardless of the conditions.\n\n\nBut the superfan remains unfazed by this.\n\n\n“I am a living statue,” Mboladinga said. “The climate has no impact on me. My job is not just to stand there, but rather to communicate energy, strength and power to the players. That is what I am focusing on.\n\n\n“I do not foresee a time when I’m actually going to let go and lower my hand – I will get my job done.”\n\n\nHowever, his presence at the World Cup was almost put in jeopardy after the recent Ebola outbreak in the DRC, which led to the US placing entry restrictions on affected countries, and even forced the national team to cancel its three-day, pre-tournament training camp in Kinshasa.\n\n\nBut luckily for Mboladinga, the Congo squad stopped at nothing to ensure its beloved icon made it to North America, going as far as persuading DRC President Félix Tshisekedi to include him in the team’s official delegation.\n\n\nHe did miss Les Léopards’ opener against Portugal, but “although I was not there physically, I was able to attend the game at one of the fan zones, so I was very much connected,” he said.\n\n\n“After going back to the World Cup after 52 years and then facing a giant like Portugal, to be able to draw with them was a great achievement (and) a joyful moment for the whole Congolese nation.”\n\n\nThat joy would have been slightly dampened after the DRC’s 1-0 loss to Colombia, but victory over Uzbekistan would very likely confirm a place in the Round of 32 and have people dancing from the war-torn streets of Goma right through to the capital of Kinshasa.\n\n\nProsper Heri Ngorora, a journalist based in Goma, saw this first-hand when the DRC first booked its place at the World Cup.\n\n\n“M23 rebels themselves here in Goma jubilated, and even in Kinshasa people also jubilated,” he told CNN Sports last month. “That shows that football can be a glue that unites people together.”\n\n\nOn the pitch, Les Léopards are just over 90 minutes away from potentially sending over 116 million people back at home into absolute ecstasy. They will be cheered on by those back home and the thousands of adoring Congolese fans who will surely paint Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta sky blue on Sunday.\n\n\nBut standing tall, above all, as he always does, will be Mboladinga.\n\n\n“I will be there. I will have a leopard print in the back. And the whole world will see me.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

That order sought to require proof of citizenship to register to vote as well as impose an Election Day deadline for mail-in ballots, and Judge Casper last June issued a preliminary injunction blocking the policy.\n\n\n\nIn a 59-page ruling issued Wednesday, Judge Casper made that decision permanent on largely the same legal basis as her decision last year. In addition to finding that Trump overstepped his authority with the order, the judge said the Department of Justice failed to demonstrate the alleged fraud that purportedly justified the order, and the policy would have disenfranchised thousands.\n\n\n\n\"There is no evidence in this record of widespread 'illegal voting, discrimination, fraud, and other forms of malfeasance and error' within American elections, which the Executive Order purports to safeguard against,\" she wrote. \n\n\n\nThe ruling is the latest setback in the Trump administration's attempt to reshape federal elections, with courts blocking multiple efforts to impose federal oversight on elections. \n\n\n\nMultiple lawsuits are challenging Trump’s second executive order on voting that attempted to create a national database of approved voters, and earlier this week, a judge blocked an attempt to use an immigration database to check voter rolls. Judges across the country have also rejected the Department of Justice's attempt to obtain state voter rolls. \nThe post Judge permanently blocks Trump EO requiring proof of citizenship to vote appeared first on KVIA.","url":"https://kvia.com/news/abc-7-alert-center/2026/06/24/judge-permanently-blocks-trump-eo-requiring-proof-of-citizenship-to-vote/","source":"KVIA ABC-7","author":"ABC News","publishDate":"2026-06-24T18:38:06.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkvia.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2FMGN_1280x960_60218C00-WBUPH.jpg","slug":"judge-permanently-blocks-trump-eo-requiring-proof-of-citizenship-to-vote"},{"id":"v1kew7","title":"House Democrats’ anxiety rises after wins by Mamdani-backed candidates: ‘Are we going to let them take over the party?’","excerpt":"By Sarah Ferris, Ellis Kim, Annie Grayer, CNN\n\n\n(CNN) — Top Democrats insist that they’re unfazed by the party’s forming a “Zohran Mamdani wing,” after the New York City mayor’s stunningly successful primary night.\n\n\nBut there is growing angst among many sitting congressional Democrats after Mamd...","content":"By Sarah Ferris, Ellis Kim, Annie Grayer, CNN\n\n\n(CNN) — Top Democrats insist that they’re unfazed by the party’s forming a “Zohran Mamdani wing,” after the New York City mayor’s stunningly successful primary night.\n\n\nBut there is growing angst among many sitting congressional Democrats after Mamdani allies won three primaries, including defeats of incumbent Reps. Adriano Espaillat and Dan Goldman. And, most immediately, they worry it will make it tougher to flip the House this year, with Republicans eager to tee up the Mamdani slate’s most controversial positions for attack ads in battlegrounds across the country.\n\n\n“Obviously, the socialists had a big win last night. The question is, are we going to let them take over the party? Or are we going to stand up and fight back?” said Rep. Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey, a moderate Democrat who has criticized Mamdani’s politics and how he’s addressed allies of Israel. “Many of us believe, as I do, that if you’re a socialist, you’re not a Democrat.”\n\n\nGottheimer and others worry that Republicans will try to yoke their most vulnerable members to what they see as far-left ultra-progressives — and they worry that it will only highlight Democratic divisions in a must-win election year.\n\n\n“If you ask me, it was not a good night for New York,” Rep. Greg Meeks, a powerful New York Democrat who is close with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, told CNN when asked about deleted posts from Darializa Avila Chevalier, who defeated Espaillat, expressing support for abolishing police, prisons and borders.\n\n\nAsked about the fraught relationship between the Democratic Socialists of America and the Democratic Party, Meeks added: “Instead of us making sure we put all of our resources to fight Republicans and to fight Donald Trump, we’re using it to fight each other. It just doesn’t make common sense to me.”\n\n\nOne Democratic lawmaker sitting in a battleground district told CNN that they are so concerned about the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America that they have recently begun having serious conversations with donors about leaving the party altogether.\n\n\nIf Democrats do flip the House, the number of democratic socialists in their ranks is still likely to be a small minority of the caucus. And Democrats remain confident they can still win the House in November.\n\n\nThe House Democratic caucus gathered for a private briefing by their party arm on Wednesday morning, where party leaders presented internal polling showing Trump underwater in key battlegrounds, according to two people familiar with the briefing. No one brought up the Mamdani-backed candidate wins.\n\n\nThe Mamdani-backed candidates who won on Tuesday ran on the same affordability message that the party has embraced nationally, but their victories highlight broader friction over Democrats’ status-quo tactics in Washington — as well as deep divides on Israel.\n\n\n“Our party nationally will need to reckon with this fact given that what you witnessed yesterday was not an anti-affordability or anti-economic policy strategy that won; it was an anti-establishment strategy beyond messaging that trumped,” a senior House Democratic aide told CNN.\n\n\nSpeaking Wednesday morning in New York City, Mamdani made the opposite argument, though he also connected cost-of-living issues to his longstanding critiques of US military support for Israel, a key issue in all three primaries.\n\n\n“What we saw last night was a hunger for leaders who will be there on the front lines looking to make it easier for working people to afford life in the greatest city in the world,” he said.\n\n\nJeffries on Wednesday downplayed fears within his party that the wins could reverberate in battleground districts this November.\n\n\n“No, Donald Trump has a working relationship with the mayor of the city of New York, and he’s made that publicly and explicitly clear to America, not once but twice in the Oval Office,” Jeffries said.\n\n\nJeffries was asked by reporters if Mamdani had made enemies on Capitol Hill.\n\n\n“Listen, the mayor and I agreed to strongly disagree about some of his endorsements, and he’s got work to do in terms of the conversations that he’s going to have with members of Congress moving forward,” Jeffries, who backed Espaillat and Goldman, told reporters.\n\n\nAsked if Democratic voters want their members in Congress to be more progressive, Jeffries responded: “I think we’ve got to look at the totality of all 215 members of the House Democratic caucus, and that answer speaks for itself.”\n\n\nThe Brooklyn representative told reporters his relationship with Madmani is “a very good one” and that the pair speak regularly.\n\n\nJeffries, who famously took months to decide whether to endorse Mamdani in the mayoral primary in his home city, eventually did back the mayor. But not all of his Democratic members from New York did.\n\n\nRep. Tom Suozzi, a centrist from Long Island, has been vocal in his critiques of democratic socialists, including Mamdani.\n\n\nAfter Tuesday night’s primaries, Suozzi said the victories by the far left have sent a message to mainstream Democrats that they need to do better. But he doesn’t think it calls for a push toward far-left policies.\n\n\n“It’s a warning that people have got to do a better job. They’ve got to work harder” to prove to voters they have solutions to make life more affordable, Suozzi said. He compared the rise of democratic socialists to the MAGA surge in the GOP.\n\n\n“I think the bottom line is that the DSA and the far left — as well as the MAGA movement and the far right — are organized, and they’re doing a good job organizing, and they’re tapping into people’s concerns about their economic insecurity. I think Trump did that in his campaigns. I think Mamdani did that in his campaign for mayor. They tapped into people’s real concerns about economic insecurity. I just happen to disagree with their solutions,” he said.\n\n\nBut Morris Katz, a campaign strategist who is a key Mamdani ally, argued that Democrats can have a “big-tent populist party” that focuses on affordability and “invests in domestic priorities, in schools and in hospitals rather than in wars abroad.”\n\n\n“I think that we spend a lot more time talking about labels than the average swing voter thinks about that,” Katz told CNN’s Dana Bash. “You see people interact with policies, campaigns, and ideas not predicated on the label they’re applying to themselves, but how are they going to make their lives better?”\n\n\nAnd on Capitol Hill, progressives like Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna celebrated Tuesday night’s results.\n\n\n“It’s a big win for the progressive wing of the party. We are a new party that will call out the genocide, tax the billionaires, and stand up for single payer healthcare” Khanna told CNN. “Our party wants a new generation leaders willing to challenge the status quo and call out the establishment.”\n\n\nBut one longtime Democrat, Rep. Vicente Gonzalez of Texas, firmly disagrees that the results reflect the mood of the country.\n\n\nInstead, he said it’s a small minority of Democrats who have run extremely effective campaigns.\n\n\n“I think we have a lot of more organizing to do on the ground, especially in places like New York and California, places where DSA is is is being more influential, and we need to educate young people, we need to get more people, young people, involved on more moderate policies, just the way the other side has, and run strong campaigns,” Gonzalez said.\n\n\n“I don’t think it should be a concern for people in South Texas, but I think nationally it’s a huge concern, and how they push the policies within the Democratic caucus that we’re going to have to defend,” Gonzalez added. “A lot of these policies that obviously I don’t agree with and would be very difficult for me to sell to people in South Texas, and I don’t intend to sell them, because I don’t believe in most of them myself.”\n\n\nAs for his own reelection, Gonzalez was confident he could still win despite any GOP attacks linking him to the DSA: “I’ve been around long enough that people don’t see me as a socialist.

Like other school districts across Texas, CISD had to consider lower enrollment and less state funding in its budget decision.\n\n\n\nWhile developing the budget, the district said it reduced departmental budgets and expenses across most central office functions. It also said it increased campus funding by $1.2 million so students have the resources they need.\n\n\n\nSuperintendent Josue Borrego said the district also restored school programs that had been reduced or discontinued during previous budget shortfalls. For example, the district restored middle school classes that offer high school credits.\n\n\n\n“While we are pleased to present a balanced budget to our taxpayers, our work is far from over,” Borrego said. “We will continue identifying responsible cost-saving measures while investing in the programs and services that matter most to students.\"\n\n\n\n\nThe post Canutillo ISD adopts $65.6 million

He told reporters on Wednesday that he’s ready to go for the final match of the group on Thursday.\n\n\nThe injury — which Pulisic called a contusion or strain, admitting he still doesn’t even know exactly what to label it — was triggered by a kick to his left calf during training a few days before the World Cup opener against Paraguay. The Reading, Pennsylvania, native declined to disclose which of his teammates delivered the blow.\n\n\nDuring the limited time the media could observe training, Pulisic looked to be unrestrained and moving freely. He wore no protection on his calf and had no signs of a limp or any limitation during drills at Great Sports Park.\n\n\nThe adrenaline from the tournament buildup initially helped mask the discomfort. Pulisic said he got through the first half against Paraguay mostly on adrenaline, but the pain intensified at halftime.\n\n\n“Throughout the first half I felt good, and then I started to notice it a little bit, and I think adrenaline definitely carried me through,” he said.Pulisic said that he tried to prepare for the Australia match but ultimately ran out of time.\n\n\nPulisic’s absence against Australia was announced about 90 minutes before kickoff, but he ultimately wasn’t missed all that much. The United States used two first-half goals to cruise past the Aussies, with the American attack looking dangerous even without the celebrated attacker.\n\n\n“I was really trying to get ready for the last game, and I feel like I could have gone, but it just wasn’t quite there,” he said. “It was tough emotions going into that, but just being able to support the team — and my teammates have made it so much easier, because they got another incredible win, and they played amazing in the second half. Everything is a lot easier when the team’s winning.”\n\n\nIf Pulisic returns to the pitch on Thursday, questions remain regarding how much head coach Mauricio Pochettino will be willing to risk his star player. The US is aiming to make a deep run in this home World Cup, and Thursday’s match carries low stakes — the Americans have already clinched the top spot in their group, while Turkey has been eliminated following two shocking losses.\n\n\nThe US players who spoke to the media on Wednesday all emphasized the importance of momentum and playing for a win against the Turks, but an undercurrent remains focused on keeping the squad fresh and healthy for the knockout rounds.\n\n\nPulisic, though, simply wants to get back on the pitch.\n\n\n“I want to be a part of the group, I want to get on the field and try to help the team in whatever way I can,” he said.\n\n\nThe lineups for Thursday’s match won’t be announced until close to game time, and it’s ultimately up to Pochettino to play his star.\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional reporting. \n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Though Bates did not make an official recommendation for the bond, he broke down three potential proposals totaling $445.8 million.\n\n\n\nThe presentation comes a week after the EPISD board voted to lay off 55 employees under financial exigency to slash expenses and address a deficit that was expected to nearly deplete the district’s savings. A third-party audit, conducted by educational consultant firm MoakCasey, found the district’s financial crisis was caused in part by poor budget tracking practices that had persisted for several years.\n\n\n\n“I think it’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity to change what our schools look and feel like for the next generation of El Paso’s kids,” bond committee Chair Georgina Williams told El Paso Matters ahead of the meeting. “If a bond does go forward, and if these trustees put it to the ballot, it’s going to be El Paso that decides, and El Paso has always shown up for its own, and that’s what we may be potentially asking them to do again.”\n\n\n\nBates presented three potential propositions: Proposition A would ask for $409.6 million to upgrade cooling systems, address deferred maintenance, install solar at four elementary schools, improve playgrounds and add green space, among other upgrades. Proposition B would ask for $10.6 million to purchase technological devices for students and teachers, and Proposition C would call for about $25.6 million to renovate athletic stadiums.\n\n\n\nDistrict officials plan to give official bond recommendations in early August. The EPISD board is expected to vote Aug. 11 on whether to call for an election.\n\n\n\nBates said the recommended bond would likely range between $430 million and $450 million and claimed a bond would not likely increase the district’s tax rate.\n\n\n\n“Our financial adviser is running the actual numbers of what a zero tax increase would get us,” Bates told El Paso Matters.\n\n\n\nThough Bates said a bond would not increase the tax rate – the amount charged per $100 of property valuation – homeowners’ tax bills may still increase due in large part to rising home valuations.\n\n\n\nBates said he will have more details in the coming weeks on how a bond would impact homeowners’ tax bills, and plans to create a tax calculator for residents to get an idea of how it would affect them.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEPISD voters last approved a bond in 2016 worth $668 million to renovate schools and rightsize the district. Under the bond, the district closed and consolidated several elementary and middle schools and replaced them with pre-k through eighth-grade campuses. The bond was plagued with payment and construction delays.\n\n\n\nDistrict officials earlier this month said the district still had bond money to rebuild Bliss Elementary that had not been spent since it was approved a decade ago.\n\n\n\nBates said his experience working with bigger districts will ensure similar delays don’t happen again.\n\n\n\n“Go back and look at the $5.5 billion that I managed in Dallas, and you won’t find the problem. I think I’ll be able to take care of $400 million here,” Bates said.\n\n\n\nCommittee recommendations\n\n\n\nThe recommendations for the bond and the master plan were made with guidance from the EPISD Citizens Bond Steering Committee, made up of parents, union leaders and residents from within the district’s boundaries.\n\n\n\nThe steering committee comprises six subcommittees with different focuses, including technology, safety and security, finance, student experience, athletics and capital renewal.\n\n\n\nThe district’s priorities within the next two years include converting all evaporative coolers into refrigerated air conditioning, safety and security improvements, structural repairs and replacing outdated equipment, including fire alarms.\n\n\n\nWithin the next three to five years, the district plans to repair or replace windows, doors, ceilings, sidewalks, masonry and exterior lighting, as well as paint school interiors. In six to 10 years, the district plans to replace lighting with energy-efficient LED fixtures, replace electrical panelboards and transformers and replace elevators.\n\n\n\nUnder the master plan, the district also plans to install fire suppression systems where they currently don’t exist and install solar panels in 13 of its schools.\n\n\n\nThe district estimated installing solar panels in four schools would cost about $1.4 million, but could be reduced to about $800,800 with federal incentives. It would cost about $21.8 million to install solar panels in all 69 of its campuses, which could be reduced to $13 million with federal incentives.\n\n\n\nThe district plans to rebuild Bliss Elementary School, located on Fort Bliss, primarily using funds provided by the U.S. Department of Defense.\n\n\n\nEPISD officials are also considering demolishing six closed campuses to turn the land into green spaces and using some of them, including Beall Elementary School which was shuttered in 2019, to expand its pre-kindergarten program.\n\n\n\nWhile committee members disagreed on some aspects of how the bond should be spent, Amanecer People’s Project Director Ana Fuentes said most believed air conditioning improvements were a non-negotiable inclusion.\n\n\n\nThe “Escuelas Frescas” campaign, launched by Amanecer People’s Project, has a list of 22 El Paso ISD school that they say still run on evaporative air, July 20, 2024. (Corrie Boudreaux/El Paso Matters)\n\n\n\nAmanecer, a local environmental nonprofit, launched the Escuelas Frescas campaign in 2024 to push EPISD to upgrade outdated cooling systems in dozens of middle and elementary schools.\n\n\n\n“Even folks who sometimes we would think wouldn’t be aligned, we all agree on the need to address this HVAC problem immediately, so that’s also why I feel more hopeful about how things will go in November,” Fuentes told El Paso Matters.\n\n\n\nEPISD parent and bond committee member, Diana Ramirez, said they want the district to use the Community Resource Index — which gives campuses a rating based on the number of resources in the neighborhood, such as parks, libraries, healthcare clinics and transportation access — to prioritize the higher-need schools first.\n\n\n\nThe schools at the bottom quartile of the index, with the least resources nearby, are primarily located in South Central El Paso. This includes Guillen Middle School, Hawkins and Douglass elementary schools, Bowie High School, the San Jacinto Adult Learning Center and the Telles Academy alternative school.\n\n\n\nBefore the presentation, some committee members, including Fuentes, praised the district’s transparency throughout the steering process.\n\n\n\n“The process was much different than other interactions with the district that we’ve had, much more transparency,” Fuentes said.\n\n\n\nMost of the information presented Tuesday can be found on the district’s website, along with information on previous steering committee meetings and details on the conditions and needs at each individual campus.\n\n\n\nOthers, including Familia Unidas Por la Educacion organizer Hilda Villegas, were skeptical of the accuracy of the information used to design the long-range master plan. Familia Unidas is a grassroots educational advocacy organization focused on the Chamizal neighborhood in South Central El Paso.\n\n\n\nOne of Villegas’ main concerns is that the district’s most recent assessments of campus conditions were conducted under the previous Superintendent Diana Sayavedra, who spearheaded a plan to close schools to address declining enrollment. Under the plan, known as Destination District Redesign, EPISD planned to improve the school that remained open through a bond.\n\n\n\nFamilias Unidas del Chamizal por la Educación, a grassroots parental advocacy group based in Central El Paso, stand outside the EPISD administrative building in June 2025 to denounce an equity audit it says fails to adequately show inequities in South and Central district schools.

But there is no plan to address the historic neglect in the barrio, and to rebuild the Bowie feeder pattern due to the neglect,” Villegas said.\nThe post EPISD eyes up to $450 million bond election, outlines $1 billion in long-term needs appeared first on KVIA.","url":"https://kvia.com/news/education/2026/06/24/episd-eyes-up-to-450-million-bond-election-outlines-1-billion-in-long-term-needs/","source":"KVIA ABC-7","author":"El Paso Matters","publishDate":"2026-06-24T17:49:28.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkvia.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2FCB_EPISD-7.webp","slug":"episd-eyes-up-to-450-million-bond-election-outlines-1-billion-in-long-term-needs"},{"id":"foe3c5","title":"Trump se niega a firmar un proyecto de ley de vivienda histórico para presionar por su ley de reforma electoral","excerpt":"Por Adam Cancryn, Lauren Fox y Sarah Ferris, CNN\n\n\nEl presidente Donald Trump lanzó una bomba en la mañana de este miércoles al negarse a firmar un proyecto de ley bipartidista histórico sobre asequibilidad de la vivienda hasta que se apruebe su controvertida legislación de reforma electoral.

Se espera que presione a los senadores en un almuerzo republicano hoy para que aprueben la “Ley SAVE America” por cualquier medio necesario.\n\n\nLa decisión sorprendió a legisladores republicanos y a funcionarios de la Casa Blanca, que apenas horas antes habían promocionado la iniciativa de vivienda como una de las piezas centrales de la agenda de asequibilidad del Gobierno de Trump.\n\n\nEl presidente de la Cámara de Representantes, Mike Johnson, sugirió este miércoles que Trump simplemente está utilizando el tiempo disponible antes de tomar una decisión definitiva. Sin embargo, el mandatario también podría vetar la iniciativa, aunque ese escenario tendría pocas probabilidades de prosperar debido al amplio respaldo bipartidista que recibió la legislación durante su aprobación en ambas cámaras.\n\n\nPor su parte, el líder de la mayoría del Senado, Thune, declaró a CNN que la decisión de Trump fue una decisión propia, aunque espera que finalmente lo firme, dado que la medida aborda la cuestión de la asequibilidad.\n\n\n“Fue una decisión que era su derecho. Lo que diría es que se ha trabajado en este proyecto de ley durante mucho tiempo. Es una excelente iniciativa legislativa. Aumenta la oferta de viviendas y facilita que las personas puedan permitirse adquirir una. Por tanto, es una cuestión de asequibilidad y espero que, con el tiempo, encuentre la manera de firmarlo”.\n\n\nLa Casa Blanca pasó de promocionar el proyecto de ley como un logro monumental a restar importancia al asunto en menos de 24 horas, impulsada por la creciente frustración de Trump ante una cuestión totalmente distinta: el estancamiento de la polémica reforma federal del sistema electoral. El propio Trump desestimó este miércoles la ley, calificándola de algo “de menor importancia”.\n\n\nEl contraste era notable respecto al mensaje transmitido horas antes por altos asesores de Trump, plenamente conscientes de que las elecciones legislativas de mitad de mandato de noviembre podrían depender de la preocupación de los estadounidenses por la asequibilidad.\n\n\n“Una de las leyes sobre asequibilidad de la vivienda más importantes en la historia de Estados Unidos”, escribió el martes por la noche la secretaria de prensa Karoline Leavitt en X, adelantando la ceremonia de firma prevista en el Capitolio.\n\n\n“Este fue un compromiso emblemático que el presidente Trump presentó en el discurso del Estado de la Unión”, publicó el miércoles por la mañana James Blair, quien dirige la estrategia de Trump para las elecciones de mitad de mandato.\n\n\nMenos de tres horas después de la publicación triunfal de Blair, la cuenta de X de la Casa Blanca mostraba una perspectiva diferente sobre las prioridades del partido al publicar: “APRUEBEN LA LEY SAVE AMERICA”.\n\n\nCon todo, según la legislación estadounidense, la ley de vivienda podría convertirse en ley incluso sin la firma del presidente. Las normas vigentes establecen que una iniciativa aprobada por el Congreso entra en vigor si el presidente no la firma dentro de los 10 días posteriores a su aprobación mientras el Congreso permanece en sesión, sin contar los domingos.\n\n\nEl proyecto de ley sobre vivienda, denominado “Ley del Camino a la Vivienda del Siglo XXI” (“21st Century Road to Housing Act”) forma parte de los esfuerzos republicanos para responder a las preocupaciones de los votantes sobre el costo de vida y el acceso a la vivienda antes de las elecciones de mitad de mandato de noviembre.\n\n\nLa ley aborda el descontento generado por los fondos de capital privado. Una de sus disposiciones prohíbe que los grandes inversores institucionales que ya poseen 350 o más viviendas unifamiliares adquieran propiedades adicionales.\n\n\nAdemás, podría impulsar la construcción de viviendas en fábricas. Durante las últimas cinco décadas, la legislación federal ha exigido que las viviendas prefabricadas se construyan sobre una base permanente con ruedas; esto puede incrementar el costo hasta en US$ 10.000 y limita la ubicación de dichas viviendas a parques de casas móviles en muchas zonas. El proyecto de ley elimina este requisito, lo que permitiría a más estadounidenses acceder a viviendas construidas de manera más rápida y económica.\n\n\nLa iniciativa facilitaría la obtención de financiación o fondos para rehabilitar viviendas antiguas en mal estado. El costo de las casas que requieren reformas ha aumentado aún más debido a la inflación reciente y a la política arancelaria de Trump. El proyecto de ley autorizaría un programa piloto para ofrecer subvenciones y préstamos condonables destinados a cubrir las necesidades de reparación de viviendas.\n\n\nFinalmente, incentivaría a los gobiernos locales a flexibilizar las restricciones de zonificación y los trámites para la obtención de permisos. Muchos expertos en vivienda señalan que las normativas locales de zonificación y la burocracia excesiva son la causa principal de la desaceleración en la construcción de viviendas; por ello, el proyecto de ley alienta a los estados y gobiernos locales a adoptar políticas de uso del suelo y zonificación que favorezcan el desarrollo habitacional.\n\n\nTrump presiona al Congreso para que apruebe su preciada reforma electoral, y con ello aumenta también la magnitud de las complicaciones que esta medida conllevaría a medida que se acercan las elecciones de mitad de mandato.\n\n\nAunque los republicanos respaldan mayoritariamente los objetivos de la ley SAVE, esa misma realidad podría explicar por qué la medida ni siquiera alcanzó los 50 votos republicanos la última vez que se debatió en el pleno del Senado; no es solo el obstruccionismo demócrata lo que se interpone en su camino.\n\n\nUn aspecto crucial es que la versión más reciente del proyecto de ley SAVE America exigiría a los funcionarios electorales que implementaran sus profundos cambios de inmediato, lo que significa que se aplicarían a unas elecciones de mitad de mandato que tendrán lugar dentro de poco más de cuatro meses.\n\n\nSegún el proyecto de Trump, las personas que se registren para votar tendrían que presentar personalmente ante los funcionarios electorales documentos que acrediten su ciudadanía. Esto también incluye a quienes se registren para votar en línea o por correo.\n\n\nTambién se exigiría a los votantes presentar una “identificación válida con fotografía” para sufragar en elecciones federales. Los requisitos de identificación del proyecto de ley también crearían nuevos obstáculos para quienes votan por correo.\n\n\nLos estados tendrían que adoptar medidas adicionales para eliminar de las listas de votantes a las personas no elegibles para participar en elecciones al Congreso y presidenciales.\n\n\nLos funcionarios electorales se enfrentarían a sanciones penales si registran a una persona que no haya cumplido con el requisito de acreditar su ciudadanía establecido en el proyecto de ley.\n\n\nEn suma, los funcionarios electorales tendrían que determinar cómo implementar rápidamente estos cambios mientras lidian con otros contratiempos que ya plantean desafíos, como una ronda sin precedentes de redistribución de distritos a mitad de década y litigios judiciales pendientes que podrían modificar las normas electorales.\n\n\nPrecisamente esta semana, un fallo judicial socavó considerablemente las disposiciones de la ley SAVE America relativas a la verificación de los padrones electorales, al bloquear un juez el uso del sistema federal de datos de ciudadanía para depurar dichas listas.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The initiative was started by Sun City Pickers, who just put up its first Downtown water station Tuesday. \n\n\n\nSun City Pickers is a volunteer-run nonprofit that hosts weekly litter pickups to beautify El Paso and increase sustainability in the community.\n\n\n\nYou can identify the group's water stations by seeing a water dispenser with paper cups attached. Some of the dispensers have paintings.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        Instagram-এ এই পোস্টটি দেখুন            Community Water Stations (@communitywaterstations) -এর দ্বারা একটি পোস্ট শেয়ার করা হয়েছে\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIts Downtown water station is on the corner of Missouri Avenue and Kansas Street outside of Amigo Bail Bonds.\n\n\n\nWater station host Jud Burgess explained the importance of the program, noting that people in the area tend to overheat. \n\n\n\n\"In places like Paso where you have a lack of water and a lack of rain and high temperatures like in mid-100s, you know, people tend to overheat here,\" Burgess said. \"So this is a great way of just getting people, you know, getting their thirst quenched, but at the same time keeping them healthy and, you know, hydrated.\" \n\n\n\nWednesday, El Paso could reach a high of 109 degrees. Staying hydrated can reduce the risk of heat-related illness.\n\n\n\nThe nonprofit covers the entire cost of setting up these stations.\n\n\n\nLocal business owner Maria Serrano initially declined when Sun City Pickers first approached her about setting up a community water station outside her business. Serrano recalled a past negative experience where a customer asked for water and then stole a doll from her store. \n\n\n\n\"Since then I would never give out water,\" Serrano said. \n\n\n\nHer hesitation was overcome when a volunteer from the nonprofit offered to set up the water station outside her business and pay it. \n\n\n\n\"I would’ve never thought of it,\" Serrano commented. \n\n\n\nSerrano now sees a positive impact from the station. \n\n\n\nA local artist also views the water stations as a way to beautify the city. She hopes that appreciating the aesthetic of the stations will encourage people to see more beauty in nature around them.\n\n\n\nSun City Pickers is continuing to seek additional locations for water stations, considering both businesses and residential areas. \n\n\n\n\nThe post El Paso residents set up water stations to beat the heat appeared first on KVIA.","url":"https://kvia.com/weather/2026/06/24/el-paso-residents-set-up-water-stations-to-beat-the-heat/","source":"KVIA ABC-7","author":"Nina Gallegos","publishDate":"2026-06-24T17:24:49.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://theelpaso.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkvia.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2Fdowntown-sun-wx.png","slug":"el-paso-residents-set-up-water-stations-to-beat-the-heat"},{"id":"jdtlzn","title":"Israel ataca deliberadamente a niños en el genocidio en curso contra los palestinos, concluye comisión de la ONU","excerpt":"Zeena Saifi\n\n\nLas fuerzas israelíes continúan cometiendo genocidio contra los palestinos al atacar deliberadamente a niños en Gaza, según concluyó una comisión de investigación independiente de las Naciones Unidas.\n\n\nEn un informe publicado el martes, la comisión —que el año pasado concluyó que I...","content":"Zeena Saifi\n\n\nLas fuerzas israelíes continúan cometiendo genocidio contra los palestinos al atacar deliberadamente a niños en Gaza, según concluyó una comisión de investigación independiente de las Naciones Unidas.\n\n\nEn un informe publicado el martes, la comisión —que el año pasado concluyó que Israel había cometido genocidio en Gaza— determinó que las operaciones militares israelíes han continuado causando una “muerte, lesiones y trauma sin precedentes” a los niños palestinos.\n\n\nLa comisión describe lo que afirma que es el ataque deliberado contra niños como un indicador clave de la intención genocida de las autoridades israelíes de destruir al pueblo palestino, incluso después de que entrara en vigor un alto el fuego en Gaza.\n\n\n“Incluso después del alto el fuego de octubre de 2025, los niños siguen siendo asesinados y gravemente heridos, con un continuo desprecio por parte de Israel por el alto el fuego y por la protección que se les debe a los niños palestinos en virtud del derecho internacional”, dijo Srinivasan Muralidhar, presidente de la comisión.\n\n\nEl Gobierno de Israel ha negado en varias ocasiones estar cometiendo genocidio, y funcionarios condenaron rápidamente los hallazgos de la ONU del martes.\n\n\nEl Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores lo calificó como “una pieza de propaganda tan escandalosa como las anteriores”, mientras que Danny Danon, embajador de Israel ante las Naciones Unidas, lo describió como una “calumnia de sangre política disfrazada de documento de la ONU”.\n\n\n“En lugar de abordar los crímenes de Hamas, la masacre del 7 de octubre, los rehenes y el uso cínico que hace Hamas de niños y civiles como escudos humanos, la comisión ha optado una vez más por sentar a Israel en el banquillo de los acusados”, dijo Danon.\n\n\nEl informe detalla las condiciones que Israel ha impuesto a Gaza desde el cese del fuego —ataques generalizados y el bloqueo de la ayuda humanitaria y médica—, que, según indicó, causaron “daños multinivel a la supervivencia, la salud y el desarrollo de los niños palestinos”.\n\n\nDocumenta lo que describe como un patrón sistemático de ataques israelíes contra hospitales, clínicas de salud e instalaciones de salud reproductiva, con consecuencias devastadoras a corto y largo plazo para el bienestar físico y psicológico de los niños.\n\n\nEl cese del fuego, respaldado por EE.UU. y negociado en octubre, puso fin a dos años de guerra en Gaza, aunque, como señaló el informe, “las hostilidades no cesaron, sino que se redujeron”.\n\n\nOcho meses después, Israel ha ejecutado ataques aéreos casi diarios, matando a más de 1.000 palestinos, incluidos más de 250 niños, según el Ministerio de Salud palestino.\n\n\nIsrael ha acusado a Hamas de violar repetidamente el alto el fuego y de negarse a deponer las armas. La mayor parte de la población de Gaza todavía vive en tiendas de campaña, mientras Israel bloquea los materiales de reconstrucción y el equipo pesado debido a la negativa de Hamas a desarmarse.\n\n\nUna fuerza de seguridad internacional debía desplegarse en Gaza en virtud del plan de paz del presidente de EE.UU., Donald Trump, con una salida gradual de Israel. En cambio, Israel ha ampliado su control territorial: el primer ministro Benjamin Netanyahu aseguró que las fuerzas de Israel ahora controlan el 70 % del enclave.\n\n\nIsrael estableció inicialmente una “línea amarilla” temporal en un mapa, delimitando un área ocupada por las fuerzas armadas tras el alto el fuego.\n\n\nPero esa línea se ha desplazado gradualmente hacia el oeste, ampliando el afianzamiento de los militares israelíes en Gaza y empujando a los palestinos a una porción cada vez más pequeña del territorio. Cruzar la línea sigue estando prohibido para los residentes, cientos de los cuales han sido asesinados por acercarse demasiado, según funcionarios palestinos. Ahora, una nueva “línea naranja” más allá de la anterior línea amarilla delimita tierras recién ocupadas.\n\n\nA medida que la línea sigue desplazándose, es difícil para los palestinos saber dónde comienza y termina, en particular para los niños.\n\n\nEl informe también se enfocó en la Ribera Occidental ocupada y Jerusalén Este, acusando a Israel de crímenes de guerra y destacando “un fuerte aumento de la violencia” contra niños palestinos por parte de colonos israelíes.\n\n\nConcluyó que las fuerzas israelíes han “empleado repetidamente una fuerza irrazonable, excesiva y punitiva contra los niños como herramienta de control, disuasión e intimidación colectiva” en la Ribera Occidental.\n\n\nSegún el grupo israelí de derechos humanos B’Tselem, 236 niños palestinos han sido asesinados en la Ribera Occidental desde octubre de 2023. Tanto en Gaza como en la Ribera Occidental, el informe cita “arrestos y detenciones arbitrarias masivas” de niños, muchos de los cuales siguen sin ser localizados en Gaza, con paradero desconocido.\n\n\nEl Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores palestino acogió con satisfacción las conclusiones del informe, e indicó que su importancia radica en “reafirmar el fracaso de la comunidad internacional para detener las violaciones cometidas por la potencia ocupante y para exigir responsabilidades a los culpables de estos crímenes contra niños palestinos”.\n\n\nLa comisión instó al Gobierno de Israel a “detener de inmediato las operaciones militares en Gaza”, y a cumplir con sus “obligaciones especiales hacia los niños en virtud del derecho internacional”.\n\n\nInstó a los Estados miembros a detener a funcionarios israelíes buscados por la Corte Penal Internacional, detener las transferencias de armas a Israel e imponer sanciones a funcionarios israelíes y colonos.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

That’s the question three federal judges considered Wednesday for nearly two hours in the case against Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver.\n\n\nOne of the first questions asked by the panel of judges in Wilmington, Delaware, was whether a member of Congress, during their legislative duties, would be protected if he “comes across a teenage girl and gropes her.”\n\n\n“Isn’t this as weak a case as I hypothesized?” Judge Stephanos Bibas, who President Donald Trump nominated in his first administration, asked McIver’s attorney during Wednesday’s hearing.\n\n\nIn 2025, McIver was charged with assaulting an officer during her visit to an immigration detention facility in New Jersey when officers began to arrest Newark Mayor Ras Baraka outside the facility — an arrest that officials quickly dropped.\n\n\nProsecutors allege that McIver slammed her forearm into one officer and tried to restrain another by grabbing him as well as using her forearms to push against an officer when she was trying to get back into the facility.\n\n\nThe indictment against McIver does not allege that any officers were injured during the incident.\n\n\nMcIver’s attorney, Paul Fishman, said the New Jersey congresswoman was doing her legislative duty of oversight at the facility, which has become a recent hotbed for protests and violent clashes between law enforcement and protestors.\n\n\nFishman argued that the judges should “look at the field visit as a whole,” adding that the reason McIver and two other members of congress went outside the facility during Baraka’s arrest “was oversight” of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security.\n\n\nThe Speech and Debate clause in the Constitution generally protects members of Congress from prosecution for actions that fall within their duties.\n\n\n“Being a critic of the administration,” Fishman said, is what the clause was designed to protect. “They are picking on someone who is a member of Congress” because she disagrees with the administration, Fishman said.\n\n\n“Use of physical force is never, never covered by the Speech and Debate clause,” attorney for the Justice Department Mark Coyne shot back Wednesday, while acknowledging the case was “certainly not something I’m taking lightly.”\n\n\nThe case against McIver is on pause while the Third Circuit considers her appeal of a lower court ruling that rejected her efforts to toss the case on several issues, including congressional protections and vindictive prosecution.\n\n\nWhen asked about Fishman’s effort to have the court consider the issue of whether the case was brought vindictively by the Trump administration, Coyne pushed back.\n\n\n“I’m still here,” Coyne said, adding that if the administration started to charge a bevy of lawmakers, a hypothetical posed by Judge Thomas Ambro, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, Coyne would do “everything in my power” to ensure that would not happen.\n\n\nOn rebuttal, Fishman said the decision to prosecute was not Coyne’s but came from the Justice Department. “They are not made in Newark,” Fishman said of the decision to prosecute enemies of Trump.\n\n\nJudge Ambro also questioned if Coyne could point to any other case where a lawmaker was charged with pushing against an officer as they were trying to make their way through a scrum.\n\n\n“That doesn’t seem like assault,” Ambro said of one of the charges McIver faces.\n\n\nCoyne conceded the case was not normal.\n\n\nFishman told the judges he was “not arguing that an assault is a legislative act” but rather that McIver was doing her congressional duties of oversight when immigration agents began to unlawfully arrest Baraka for his presence in the facility.\n\n\n“If any member walks into a bar and decks an ICE officer,” Fishman said, that would not be protected.\n\n\nMcIver has pleaded not guilty to the charges, which carry a maximum of 17 years in prison.\n\n\nDuring a press conference following the hearing, McIver, several months pregnant, told reporters the case was merely Trump going after his political enemies.\n\n\n“I have literally the president of the United States and the Department of Justice trying to send me to jail for 17 years — that’s very frightening,” she said. “The point of it all is cruelty. The process is the pain for them.”\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company. All rights reserved.\n\nThe post Lawyers for Rep.

El brote es causado por la rara cepa Bundibugyo del virus, para la cual no existe vacuna ni tratamiento específico. Al menos 277 personas han fallecido en la RDC y dos en Uganda, según los últimos datos de la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Se han confirmado más de 1.000 casos en la RDC.\n\n\nEl paciente en Francia, cuya identidad no se ha revelado públicamente, se encuentra estable tras ser ingresado inmediatamente en un centro especializado a su regreso, indicó el Ministerio de Salud francés en un comunicado.\n\n\n“Todas las medidas de precaución, en particular el aislamiento del paciente, se implementaron inmediatamente a su llegada al país, incluyendo un traslado seguro a un hospital para prevenir cualquier riesgo de transmisión”, declaró el ministerio. “Se está llevando a cabo una exhaustiva investigación epidemiológica para identificar a las personas que pudieron haber estado en contacto con el paciente”.\n\n\nCualquier persona que haya tenido contacto con el paciente deberá cumplir un período de aislamiento domiciliario de 21 días, durante el cual será monitoreada de cerca por las autoridades sanitarias.\n\n\nEl ministerio reiteró que el Centro Europeo para la Prevención y el Control de Enfermedades (ECDC) ha evaluado el riesgo de infección por ébola como “muy bajo para la población europea en general” y que Francia ha establecido un sistema de monitoreo para los trabajadores humanitarios franceses que regresan al país.\n\n\nA principios de este año, las autoridades europeas gestionaron otro caso de ébola, cuando el médico estadounidense Peter Stafford contrajo la enfermedad mientras trabajaba en la República Democrática del Congo (RDC), fue evacuado y recibió tratamiento en Alemania. Stafford fue dado de alta del hospital y regresó a Estados Unidos a principios de junio.\n\n\nMientras tanto, funcionarios de la OMS advirtieron este miércoles que el brote “sigue superando la capacidad de respuesta” dentro de la RDC. Se espera que la próxima semana comiencen los ensayos de dos antivirales, según informaron las autoridades. Estas terapias se ofrecerán a personas con casos confirmados para evaluar su seguridad y eficacia en el tratamiento del virus Bundibugyo, ya sea de forma individual o combinada.\n\n\nOtras medidas de respuesta se han intensificado significativamente desde el inicio del brote, según las autoridades, pero el rastreo de contactos sigue siendo deficiente.\n\n\n“El reto con el ébola es que incluso un 99,9 % no es suficiente. Debemos seguir trabajando hasta el final para detectar todos los casos nuevos que surjan de las listas de contactos conocidos, que es el criterio más importante para el éxito de la respuesta al ébola”, declaró este miércoles el Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, jefe del Centro de Inteligencia sobre Pandemias y Epidemias de la OMS.\n\n\nAun así, el Director General de la OMS, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, recalcó que el riesgo internacional sigue siendo bajo.\n\n\n“Siempre que se presenta un caso en Europa u otras partes del mundo fuera de África, veo reacciones exageradas, pero no creo que sean necesarias”, declaró en una conferencia de prensa el miércoles. Según indicó, se han reportado menos de 30 casos de ébola fuera de África desde el primer brote hace aproximadamente medio siglo.\n\n\n“No hay motivo para el pánico”, afirmó Tedros.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

(KVIA) -- Sunday, the Roman Catholic Dioceses of Las Cruces and El Paso will host a pilgrimage on Mount Cristo Rey, according to a news release. The Diocese of Las Cruces said the pilgrimage comes as the U.S. government seeks to expand border wall construction and security south of Mt. Cristo Rey.\n\n\n\nAs ABC-7 previously reported, the government wants to use eminent domain to take the land for it. Eminent domain is a government power that can take private property for public use.\n\n\n\nThe Diocese of Las Cruces said during the pilgrimage, participants will \"pray for the church and religious freedom throughout the world.\"\n\n\n\n“This pilgrimage is not against the government, against a policy or anything else,” said Las Cruces Bishop Peter Baldacchino. “It is for the Church; it is for unity and it is for religious freedom.”\n\n\n\nThe diocese said it told federal authorities and policymakers to \"pursue humane and collaborative approaches to border security that uphold the rule of law and the constitutional protections guaranteed to religious institutions and property owners.\"\n\n\n\nThe pilgrimage starts at 4:30 p.m. on June 28, the diocese said. It will start at the parking lot oat 1 Cristo Rey Rd. and will go up the mountain. Bishop Baldacchino will say mass at the pilgrimage.\nThe post Las Cruces, El Paso dioceses to host prayer pilgrimage on Mt.

This broke the previous June record of 96.08 degrees Fahrenheit (35.6 Celsius) last set in 1976. \n\n\nPunishing temperatures are scorching Europe as it swelters under a fierce heat dome, bringing dangerous conditions to swaths of the fastest-warming continent. Hundreds of records have been broken, with many more set to fall as the heat intensifies Wednesday and Thursday. \n\n\nAs record temperatures grip Europe, young people are dying in rivers and lakes — and experts warn it is only going to get worse. \n\n\nAt least 42 people have drowned in France this week as thousands headed to water to escape temperatures soaring past 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 Celsius).  Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu confirmed the victims were mostly young people, calling their deaths a “tragic scourge.” \n\n\nThe pattern is not new. France’s public health authority, Santé publique France, recorded 1,418 drowning incidents during the summer of 2025 — a 14% rise on the year before — with deaths among teenagers ages 13 to 17 more than doubling. \n\n\nBritain’s May heatwave tells a similar story. At least 19 people died in open water last month, most of them children. One study of 2,000 UK drowning deaths found the risk of drowning rises 7% for every 1.8-degree Fahrenheit (1 Celsius) increase in daily maximum temperatures.  \n\n\nThe UK Met Office has issued exceptionally rare “Red Extreme Heat Warnings” for Wednesday and Thursday. \n\n\nCurrently, southern parts of the UK, including London, are feeling comparable to humidity levels in Miami, New Orleans and Houston, with dew points in London hovering at or above 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 Celsius). There are even readings as high as 76 degrees Fahrenheit (24.4 Celsius). \n\n\nExtremely hot temperatures edging towards or surpassing all-time records is becoming a more common occurrence as the number of hot days experienced by the UK and France is increasing, according to their national weather services. \n\n\nReams of statistics point to this. Of the 52 heatwaves recorded in France since 1947, two-thirds have happened since the beginning of the 21st century, according to Météo-France. Meanwhile in the UK, the number of days which are hotter than 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) more than tripled in 2015-2024 compared to 1961-1990, according to a 2024 Met Office report. \n\n\nAnd this June heatwave comes a month after the hottest ever May temperatures were recorded in the UK. If the hottest June temperatures are observed this week, as is likely, it will be the first time since 1911 that two consecutive months have seen record temperatures, the Met Office said. \n\n\nThe climate crisis, driven by humans burning fossil fuels, has made heat waves like this more intense and more likely. Europe is the world’s fastest-warming continent, meaning it will likely endure heat like this more frequently and for longer periods of time. \n\n\nExtreme temperatures could also end up taking some heat out of the already struggling European economy — both now and in the future. \n\n\nAnalysts at Allianz said last month that by 2030, the cumulative GDP losses could reach between 5% and 7% in the countries most exposed to rising temperatures. \n\n\nA separate study by Climate Analytics, released on Wednesday, said that combined heat-and-drought events are already making Europeans poorer, reducing average household incomes by almost 3% across the continent. \n\n\nThe study says that if temperatures rise by 2.7°C by 2100 — a likely scenario —the average European household will see its income fall by 27%. Limiting global warming to 1.5°C, the Paris Agreement commitment, would restrict the loss to 7%. \n\n\nEconomic losses are tied to a wide range of heat impacts. Infrastructure can be damaged in extreme temperatures, for example, and agriculture and manufacturing can be disrupted because machines are calibrated to operate in specific temperatures. \n\n\nWorkers are also suffering. \n\n\n“Less sleep and broken sleep are associated with a drop in work performance and productivity, an increase in accidents, lower school test scores … a decline in mental health, worsened cognitive function, and an increase in impulsive behaviours,” Laurence Wainwright from the University of Oxford said. \n\n\nHe added that test scores drop by 15% in a room of students with a temperature of 82.4 Fahrenheit (28 Celsius) compared to 64.4 Fahrenheit (18 Celsius). \n\n\nThe International Labour Organization estimates that a worker’s performance begins to drop once temperatures reach above 75-79 degrees Fahrenheit (24–26 Celsius) and plummet 50% at 91-93 Fahrenheit (33–34 Celsius).  \n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Aunque vivamos cerca del mar o a miles de kilómetros de él, los océanos alimentan millones de personas, regulan nuestro clima y producen gran parte del oxígeno que respiramos. A pesar de estos beneficios, numerosos factores causados por los humanos amenazan con detener el motor azul del planeta. El incremento de las temperaturas, la sobrepesca y la contaminación con plásticos son tan solo algunos de los problemas que ponen en riesgo este frágil ecosistema.\n\n\nPor ello, este año el Día del Llamado a la Tierra invita a escuelas, organizaciones, familias e individuos de todo el mundo a “Pensar en Azul” y tomar acción en favor de nuestros océanos y cuerpos de agua.\n\n\nYa sea organizando una limpieza de playas o ríos, creando obras de arte inspiradas en el océano, reduciendo plásticos de un solo uso, restaurando hábitats marinos, plantando manglares, educando a estudiantes sobre conservación o simplemente comprometiéndose a tener hábitos más sostenibles en la vida cotidiana. Cada acción cuenta.\n\n\nPorque proteger los océanos no es solo responsabilidad de quienes viven cerca del mar. Es una tarea que nos corresponde a todos.\n\n\nDurante todo el día, CNN destacará historias inspiradoras de personas y comunidades que están haciendo la diferencia por nuestros océanos: científicos que rompen barreras en la investigación marina, jóvenes activistas que promueven cambios ambientales, comunidades locales que protegen sus recursos hídricos e innovadores que desarrollan soluciones duraderas para preservar la vida marina para las futuras generaciones.\n\n\nDesde su lanzamiento, el Día del Llamado a la Tierra ha motivado a cientos de miles de estudiantes, educadores, ambientalistas y agentes de cambio en más de 100 países a participar directamente en esfuerzos de conservación e iniciativas de educación ambiental. Juntos, este creciente movimiento global sigue demostrando que la acción colectiva puede generar un impacto significativo.\n\n\nEste 8 de octubre, únete a nosotros para celebrar y proteger el océano que nos conecta a todos. Porque, sin importar dónde vivamos, todos compartimos la misma agua, el mismo planeta y el mismo futuro.\n\n\n¿Te unirás a nosotros?\n\n\nConoce más y regístrate para participar en el Día del Llamado a la Tierra.\n\n\nDía del Llamado a la Tierra—“Piensa en Azul” se trata de celebrar la manera en que personas y culturas se unen para proteger nuestro planeta.\n\n\nTodos, jóvenes y adultos, están invitados a participar.\n\n\nUna vez que hayas organizado tu actividad, ¡compártela! Publica tus planes para ayudar a difundir el mensaje e inspirar a otros a sumarse al movimiento.\n\n\nLuego, el 8 de octubre, les pedimos a todos que se vistan de azul y tomen fotos y videos de sus eventos y los publiquen con la etiqueta #LlamadoalaTierra. Serás parte de miles de otros ambientalistas en todo el mundo, todos dando pasos para proteger el planeta. Nosotros destacaremos eventos durante todo el día, así que, ¡tal vez veas el tuyo en CNN!\n\n\nSi grabas con tu teléfono móvil, recuerda sostenerlo en posición horizontal para tener mejores imágenes.

Le tocó leer el ambiente”, dijo a CNN el analista político Pedro Viveros. “Fue muy cuidadoso con los temas sociales, con no meterse con los logros de este gobierno. Si hubiera ganado por una diferencia de un millón de votos, el discurso sería otro”, afirmó.\n\n\nTras las elecciones legislativas realizadas en marzo, quedó claro que quien suceda a Gustavo Petro el 7 de agosto no contará con mayoría legislativa propia. De la Espriella adelantó que tiene listos 90 decretos para implementar desde el Poder Ejecutivo reformas en seguridad, economía, salud y educación.\n\n\nDe la Espriella, que compitió como independiente, cuenta con apenas tres senadores del partido Salvación Nacional, mientras que el Centro Democrático ya anunció que sus 17 senadores y 30 representantes de la Cámara serán oficialistas. Sin embargo, no está claro cuántos legisladores del Partido Liberal, el Conservador, Cambio Radical y La U le darán su apoyo. La primera minoría continuará siendo la bancada de 25 senadores del izquierdista Pacto Histórico.\n\n\nPara Viveros, el líder del movimiento Defensores de la Patria, que durante la campaña vapuleó a los partidos tradicionales -incluso después de la primera vuelta-, encara ahora las negociaciones desde una posición más débil, pero que le puede facilitar el diálogo. “La necesidad de sacar adelante una agenda para lo que quiere hacer va a llevar a que muchos partidos y sectores se acerquen, incluso desde la solidaridad. El discurso me da a entender que los está llamando, les está diciendo que no hay enemigos”, indicó.\n\n\nEn esa conformación, el uribismo está llamado a ser el aliado más sólido, ya que hay coincidencias ideológicas. “Hay que ver cómo el Centro Democrático va a poner los límites. En temas como el de la Paz Total, no habría muchas dificultades”, dijo a CNN el politólogo Alejo Vargas, docente de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia.\n\n\nEl investigador también recordó que Petro dio cabida en su gabinete a figuras de otros partidos para buscar la gobernabilidad, algo que podría intentar el ganador de esta elección, aunque la coalición en 2022 se desbarató en cuestión de meses.\n\n\nEl Pacto Histórico, una vez que se sacuda de la derrota, queda envalentonado como la principal fuerza opositora, con Cepeda a la cabeza. De la Espriella ya le pidió a Petro y a Cepeda que se abstengan de “desatar un incendio social” en Colombia.\n\n\n“La oposición queda muy viva. Cepeda como líder y Petro como ciudadano libre ser oposición en las calles. Tienen calle, con 25 senadores y 36 representantes, y tienen Congreso, con 25 senadores y 36 representantes”, dijo Viveros.\n\n\nAdemás, destacó que la votación confirma que el primer gobierno de corte progresista en el país no fue una excepcionalidad. “Cepeda dice con sus votos que se está consolidando la izquierda en Colombia, que no era pasajera como mucha gente pensó. Está diciendo ‘llegamos para quedarnos, vamos a defender esa obra de gobierno’”.\n\n\nEn el mensaje en el que reconoció la victoria de De la Espriella, Cepeda adelantó el nuevo rol que tendrá el Pacto Histórico. “Ejerceremos una oposición democrática, vigilante y constructiva, pero también resuelta e inquebrantable cuando se trate de defender los derechos del pueblo”, dijo Cepeda, quien tiene derecho a una curul en el Congreso.\n\n\nPor su parte, Vargas consideró que Cepeda, como estrategia de cara a las elecciones de 2030, no plantea una oposición tan obstruccionista, sino alternar posturas constructivistas con la presión callejera. Allí volcaría toda la experiencia acumulada en más de 15 años en el Congreso, donde se convirtió en uno de los mayores referentes del antiuribismo.\n\n\n“Si Cepeda ve que puede consolidarse como el jefe de la izquierda y de la oposición, podría estar convencido de que puede ser el próximo presidente, y jugar a ser un jefe de oposición serio, crítico, pero colaborador. Puede combinar bien la faceta con convocatorias a movilización”, comentó.\n\n\nEn ese juego también tendría que participar De la Espriella para no fogonear el clima callejero. El ultraderechista prometió fuertes ajustes económicos que atentarían contra las conquistas sociales enarboladas por el gobierno de Petro. “No creo que a De la Espriella le interese echarse encima toda una protesta social cuándo podría neutralizarlo con algunos acuerdos con Cepeda”, sostuvo Vargas.\n\n\nEn una región con varios casos en los que el electorado muestra poca paciencia a los nuevos presidentes y reclama resultados inmediatos, el gobierno entrante pasará por un ajustado equilibrio entre cumplir promesas y el riesgo de encender una mecha social.\n\n\nEn contraste con los desafíos en el plano interno, a nivel regional De la Espriella está acompañado. Tiene el respaldo de Donald Trump y el domingo fue felicitado rápidamente por varios líderes de la región, la mayoría de ellos afines ideológicamente. Aunque las comparaciones más inmediatas son con el mandatario de El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, por las problemáticas de seguridad de Colombia y sus promesas de mano dura, la figura de un outsider sin una bancada fuerte es más similar a la del argentino Javier Milei.\n\n\nEl autodenominado “Tigre”, un abogado y empresario de 47 años, sin recorrido político y con la promesa de enfrentar a “la casta”, podría seguir los pasos del líder de La Libertad Avanza, que se alió con el macrismo y otras agrupaciones al comenzar su gestión a fines de 2023, con los que logró aprobar leyes trascendentales y recibir facultades, pero también cometió errores no forzados propios de la inexperiencia.\n\n\nDe la Espriella confirmó en campaña sus habilidades como candidato, pero como presidente deberá mostrar su capacidad en una faceta muy diferente para gobernar.\n\n\nSi Petro llegó con una reivindicación a “los nadies”, las poblaciones marginadas y pobres, el “Tigre” tuvo un discuso marcado contra el establishment. “De la Espriella dice que llega con ‘los nunca’ para ganar a los de siempre, pero tiene que aprender de ellos, son los que conocen el manejo del estado”, expuso Viveros. “No digo que lleve a ‘los de siempre’, pero debe aprender cómo se maneja el poder. Si no, va a enredarse buscando una nueva forma de liderar, con los errores de alguien que nunca ha estado en el Gobierno”, agregó.\n\n\nEl analista indicó que es difícil sostener la promesa de combatir siempre a la casta y recordó que Petro “tardó tiempo en aprender y se volvió un gobierno incompetente”.\n\n\nEl politólogo Vargas indicó que la figura clave en un gobierno de De la Espriella sería su compañero de fórmula, José Manuel Restrepo, que cobró un perfil más alto en las últimas semanas de campaña. “Tiene experiencia como ministro de Comercio y de Hacienda, fue rector de cuatro universidades, él sí sabe gestionar. Todo indica que ha ganado ascendencia sobre De la Espriella”, afirmó. También destacó la figura de Mauricio Gómez Amín, exsenador que fue el jefe de campaña de Defensores de la Patria y es voceado como posible ministro del Interior, para ajustar desde el gabinete las tuercas en los pasillos del Congreso.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Donald Trump, en cambio, tuvo una visión diferente.\n\n\n“Rey, lo estamos protegiendo. Sin nosotros, podría estar fuera de juego durante dos semanas. Tiene que pagar por su ejército”, dijo Trump en 2018, refiriéndose al monarca saudita y reflejando una visión más transaccional de una relación que los líderes del Golfo habían considerado durante mucho tiempo un pilar fundamental de su seguridad.\n\n\nUn año después, Arabia Saudita sufrió el mayor ataque en su territorio en décadas, cuando los bombardeos contra instalaciones petroleras clave paralizaron temporalmente cerca de la mitad de la producción de crudo del reino, disparando los precios mundiales del petróleo. Si bien Washington culpó a Irán y condenó el ataque, los estados del Golfo quedaron con dudas sobre la disposición estadounidense a enfrentarse a Teherán en su nombre.\n\n\nPara el segundo mandato de Trump, los líderes del Golfo ya habían tomado nota. Mientras le prometían billones de dólares en inversiones en la economía estadounidense, Trump eligió la región para su primer viaje oficial al extranjero.\n\n\n“Vamos a proteger a este país”, declaró el presidente estadounidense en Doha, la capital de Qatar, durante su gira por el Golfo en mayo pasado.\n\n\nEste compromiso se enfrentó a su mayor prueba este año. A pesar del intento de los estados del Golfo por evitar un conflicto regional, Estados Unidos, junto con Israel, lanzó una guerra contra Irán, lo que provocó feroces ataques de represalia en toda la región y obligó a los gobiernos regionales a plantearse una vez más qué significa realmente la protección estadounidense.\n\n\nEl secretario de Estado estadounidense, Marco Rubio, llegó a la región el martes con la difícil tarea de convencer a los estados del Golfo de que los compromisos de seguridad de Washington siguen vigentes. Sin embargo, para muchos allí, la pregunta ya no es si Washington sigue comprometido con su seguridad, sino si el acuerdo que se está gestando con Irán los deja en mejor o peor situación que antes de la guerra.\n\n\n“Desde la perspectiva de los estados árabes del Golfo, la guerra con Irán representa un punto de inflexión desastroso para el orden de seguridad regional”, afirmó Hasan Alhasan, investigador principal del Instituto Internacional de Estudios Estratégicos (IISS), quien considera que el acuerdo forma parte de una retirada más amplia de Estados Unidos de la región. “La retirada estadounidense del Golfo y el flujo de recursos financieros y económicos hacia Irán probablemente envalentonarán aún más a Teherán”.\n\n\n“No obstante, los estados árabes del Golfo han facilitado y apoyado el acuerdo de alto el fuego entre Irán y Estados Unidos. Para ellos, un mal acuerdo sigue siendo preferible a la guerra”, declaró a CNN.\n\n\nLa gira de Rubio incluye los Emiratos Árabes Unidos, Bahrein y Kuwait, tres naciones del Golfo que sufrieron el impacto de los ataques iraníes durante la guerra y que probablemente se encuentren entre las más escépticas ante la incipiente distensión entre Washington y Teherán.\n\n\n“Queremos escuchar sus opiniones, especialmente tras lo ocurrido este fin de semana en Suiza, y asegurarnos de que se tengan en cuenta en cada decisión que tomemos, porque son nuestros socios”, declaró Rubio a la prensa al aterrizar en Abu Dabi, refiriéndose al acuerdo.\n\n\nLos países del Golfo se opusieron al acuerdo nuclear con Irán de 2015, alcanzado durante la administración Obama, y aplaudieron cuando Trump lo anuló en 2018, ya que no abordaba sus preocupaciones. Es probable que el incipiente pacto entre Estados Unidos e Irán genere aún mayor inquietud en las capitales del Golfo, no solo porque deja muchas de esas preocupaciones sin resolver, sino porque se produce en medio de lo que Alhasan describió como una “profunda pérdida de confianza en Estados Unidos”. Un diplomático de alto rango declaró a CNN que el conflicto demostraba que “Irán tenía un plan bien elaborado para atacar” a sus países.\n\n\nEl acuerdo otorga a Teherán un papel formal en la supervisión del tráfico comercial a través del estrecho de Ormuz, junto con Omán. Esto significa que gran parte del comercio marítimo de los estados del Golfo —y, sobre todo, sus exportaciones de energía— podrían llevarse a cabo bajo la supervisión iraní. El pacto tampoco aborda el programa de misiles de Irán ni su red de grupos militantes afines, preocupaciones que muchos estados del Golfo consideran más urgentes que las actividades nucleares de Teherán. Rubio declaró el martes en Abu Dabi que el programa de misiles iraní “sin duda se trataría en estas conversaciones”. Sin embargo, Trump pareció restarle importancia al tema la semana pasada, afirmando que era justo que Irán tuviera misiles si Arabia Saudita los tenía.\n\n\nEl pacto también requiere la aprobación de los países del Golfo, ya que incluye un fondo de reconstrucción de US$ 300 mil millones para Irán. Trump comprometió fondos del Golfo para la iniciativa, pero hay pocas pruebas de que los países hayan hecho lo mismo. Arabia Saudita ha declarado que “no tiene detalles” sobre la propuesta, mientras que Qatar ha expresado interés sin firmar formalmente.\n\n\nRubio afirmó que no solicitaría ayuda financiera a los aliados para el fondo de reconstrucción de Irán de US$ 300 mil millones durante su viaje, indicando que eso se abordaría “más adelante”.\n\n\nLos estados del Golfo reconocen que, por ahora, tienen pocas alternativas a Estados Unidos como su principal socio en materia de seguridad. Aunque se percibe que el papel de Estados Unidos en esa materia está disminuyendo, su asociación económica con algunos estados de la región se mantiene sólida, y naciones como los Emiratos Árabes Unidos se han comprometido a fortalecer sus lazos con EE.UU.\n\n\nAún no está claro cómo evolucionará la relación de los estados del Golfo con la administración Trump tras la guerra, según declaró un alto diplomático a CNN antes de la firma del acuerdo, incluyendo si se convertirá en un acuerdo de seguridad más formalizado que obligaría a Washington a intervenir si la seguridad del Golfo se viera amenazada.\n\n\nAun así, algunos estados del Golfo ya están buscando diversificar sus adquisiciones militares, en particular recurriendo a Turquía como proveedor alternativo de armas, añadió el diplomático.\n\n\nLa guerra también ha obligado a los líderes del Golfo a considerar más seriamente un acuerdo a largo plazo con Irán. Si bien ninguna potencia regional es capaz actualmente de reemplazar a EE.UU. como garante de la seguridad del Golfo, los funcionarios contemplan cada vez más un futuro en el que Washington desempeñe un papel mucho menor en la arquitectura de seguridad regional, afirmó el diplomático. Un posible marco podría incluir un pacto regional de no agresión con Irán.\n\n\nCómo persuadir a Irán para que acepte un acuerdo de este tipo es otra cuestión. A medida que disminuye la confianza en las garantías de seguridad estadounidenses, los estados del Golfo cuentan con pocas herramientas para influir en Teherán más allá del comercio, la inversión y la cooperación económica.\n\n\nLos analistas advierten que es improbable que la diplomacia por sí sola proporcione las garantías de seguridad que buscan los estados del Golfo.\n\n\nAlhasan, del IISS, duda que Irán cumpla un pacto de no agresión “en ausencia de una capacidad de disuasión creíble en el golfo Pérsico”, argumentando que los estados del Golfo deben primero crear “las condiciones estratégicas adecuadas para incentivar a Irán”.\n\n\n“Es improbable que un pacto de no agresión cambie el cálculo estratégico de Irán”, afirmó. “Para lograrlo, los estados del golfo Pérsico deben primero corregir el desequilibrio estratégico con Irán mediante una disuasión creíble, una defensa reforzada e integrada y medidas de resiliencia sólidas”.\n\n\nLos comentaristas de los países del Golfo en los medios estatales también se enfrentan cada vez más a cuestiones más profundas sobre el papel de Irán en la región, superando la retórica de confrontación que antes dominaba gran parte del discurso.\n\n\nUn artículo de opinión publicado esta semana en el periódico saudí Asharq al-Awsat sugería que las circunstancias de Irán podrían haberlo obligado a adoptar una postura regional de confrontación y se preguntaba si esta podría moderarse mediante la diplomacia.\n\n\nIncluso antes de la guerra, el destacado comentarista saudí Abdulrahman Alrashed rechazó en un artículo la idea de que un Irán débil y aislado sea beneficioso para el Golfo. El objetivo, afirmó, no es debilitar permanentemente a la República Islámica, sino modificar su comportamiento e integrarla en un orden regional más estable.\n\n\nSi los estados del Golfo están reconsiderando su relación con Irán, es en parte porque están reconsiderando su relación con Washington.\n\n\n“La idea de que Estados Unidos sea un aliado estratégico confiable está ahora muy en entredicho en los estados del Golfo”, afirmó Firas Maksad, director general para Medio Oriente y Norte de África de Eurasia Group, quien argumentó que la guerra culminó años de decepciones que habían mermado progresivamente la confianza de los países del Golfo en las garantías de seguridad estadounidenses.\n\n\n“Los países del Golfo… necesitan llegar a un acuerdo con Irán porque no confían plenamente en Estados Unidos. A largo plazo, no se trata solo de distensión, sino también de disuasión. Deben fortalecer sus propias capacidades militares”.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

Now, new findings on the sex of individuals whose remains were discovered there are giving researchers a fresh but perplexing perspective on this oddball human relative.\n\n\nIn 2015, scientists first described a tiny and puzzling species of hominin from an unusually rich cache of fossils found at a site known as Dinaledi Chamber within the cave system. \n\n\nDespite having a brain not much bigger than a chimp, researchers hypothesized that Homo naledi, as the species was named, deliberately buried its dead in the confines of the cave. This act represented a sophisticated practice once regarded as uniquely human. Members of the species may even have engraved symbols on the rock walls, they reported.\n\n\nThe latest research adds another layer of mystery: Scientists have recovered ancient proteins from teeth representing 20 individuals found at the site and determined that all the teeth came from females.\n\n\n“When these results came out, there were a lot of quite nervous scientists. This was not what we expected,” said Lee Berger, a paleoanthropologist and National Geographic explorer in residence, who has led excavations at the site and coauthored the latest research.\n\n\n“Two labs ran this data,” Berger said. “We ran it through twice because we didn’t want it to be an internal error,” he added.\n\n\nMolecular scientist Palesa Madupe led the research while working at the Globe Institute at the University of Copenhagen, which has pioneered the field of ancient protein research known as paleoproteomics.\n\n\nMadupe, who now works as a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany, investigated 23 samples of tooth enamel. Two of the teeth yielded no useful information, and two belonged to the same individual, making for a sample size of 20, the study reported.\n\n\nTo determine the sex of the remains, Madupe evaluated the samples for the male version of the protein amelogenin — which is only found on the male Y chromosome — but the biological marker was completely absent in each sample.\n\n\nAmong hominins and other mammals, females typically exhibit two X chromosomes and males carry an X and a Y chromosome. Because only males have a Y chromosome, finding the y-linked version of the amelogenin protein would have revealed that a tooth belonged to a male. The technique, while relatively new, has been widely deployed on ancient remains, including a 2-million-year-old fossils belonging to even earlier species of human relative. The Homo naledi remains were between 335,000 and 241,000 years old.\n\n\nIn hindsight, Berger said, he should have spotted sooner that the fossils appeared to be female. The adult fossils found in the Dinaledi Chamber had little variation in size, shape and other physical characteristics. Typically, some variation is expected between males and females, a phenomenon known as sexual dimorphism.\n\n\n“When we described those hominins in 2015, we said they’re the least sexually dimorphic species of ancient hominid ever found,” Berger said.\n\n\n“It’s one of the great scientific lessons that come out of this,” he added.\n\n\n‘Why only female individuals?’\n\n\n\nWhy would only individuals of one sex be found at the site? Berger argues that it is an example of sex bias in mortuary practices. Homo naledi “buried its loved ones by rituals that separated them in death by sex and gender,” he said.\n\n\nHowever, the study, which published in the scientific journal Cell on Wednesday, noted that the absence of male markers in the tested remains could be explained by an amelogenin-Y gene that may have mutated or have been deleted over time.\n\n\nEnrico Cappellini, a senior author of the new study and a professor of paleoproteomics at the Globe Institute, University of Copenhagen, said the deletion of the entire gene had been observed in some living male humans and even in the DNA of a Neanderthal male.\n\n\nHe noted in a news release, however, that it would be very unlikely for the gene to have been deleted “among even half of the 20 individuals we studied or for an entire population.”\n\n\n“Either scenario, namely the absence of Homo naledi males in the Rising Star cave system or a systematic deletion of their AMELY gene, is fascinating and would have deep implications for a better understanding of the biology and evolution of this species,” he added.\n\n\nRyan McRae, a paleoanthropologist at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History who was not involved in the work, said that the Rising Star site and Homo naledi are so “interesting and abnormal” that they would always inspire scientific and popular curiosity and intrigue.\n\n\n“Even if this is a single sex accumulation as the authors suggest, it presents more questions than answers: Why only female individuals?\n\n\n“We know where the bodies of the Homo naledi individuals ended up, but we do not know how they got there nor where or how they lived.”\n\n\nMichael Petraglia, a professor at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia, and director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Transforming Human Origins Research, has long argued that there is insufficient evidence to support the idea that Homo naledi intentionally buried their dead and made rock art. Both behaviors would suggest advanced cognitive abilities.\n\n\nThe idea that this was the first known example of a sex-specific burial site was “more hyperbole,” he said. However, he had no reason to question the female sex determination, noting the authors from the University of Copenhagen “do scientifically rigorous work on proteomics.”\n\n\n“With respect to their interpretation that female sex bias supports their interpretation of burial – all I would say is not so fast,” he said via email.\n\n\n“It is entirely possible that Homo naledi, being a small-brained hominin, and similar to non-human primates, had groups with high female to male sex ratios, foraging in particular places on the landscape.”\n\n\nFor example, he said that female-only foraging groups occur among chimpanzees, and primatologists have observed that small parties, including females with offspring, sometimes use rock shelters or cave entrances for shade, refuge from heat or protection from rain.\n\n\nBerger argues, however, that if Homo naledi led sex-segregated adult lives, he would expect to find baby boys at the site, which was not the case even though multiple children have been unearthed.\n\n\n“I think that even our most detailed critic is just going to have to stop and think about this for a while because the chance of it being a natural occurrence is one in a million,” Berger said.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

She also issued a temporary restraining order that bars investigators from obtaining the records, including through a grand jury subpoena that had been issued to NYU Langone Hospitals in recent weeks.\n\n\n“The scope of information sought by the government here, which includes medical assessments, diagnoses, informed consent records, and revelation of plaintiffs’ transgender status, is significant,” she said, adding that that type of information is “squarely within the class of intimate materials warranting the strongest constitutional protection.”\n\n\n“Because I cannot conceive of a crime that would require the breadth of disclosures in the subpoena – identifying and sensitive medical information for an entire class of people for a six-year period – I have to find that the government’s interest does not outweigh the plaintiffs’ interest in privacy,” Failla said.\n\n\nIn siding against the administration, the judge pointed to statements made by Justice Department attorneys to her a day earlier that appeared to leave open the possibility that prosecutors may use the records to criminally pursue patients or their parents.\n\n\n“I’m hard pressed for reasons to rely on the government’s representations that even the patients would not be prosecuted, especially given the inability to comment on any aspect of the alleged investigation or the subpoena,” she said.\n\n\nFailla is now among a growing group of judges who have sounded the alarm on the Trump administration’s probe and its investigatory tactics.\n\n\nIn ruling after ruling over the past year, judges appointed by presidents from both parties have criticized the probe as an effort aimed not at prosecuting a legitimate crime but rather a bid to pressure institutions to stop providing the care, which is not illegal at the federal level but has been heavily restricted in GOP-led states. Those judges had blocked administrative subpoenas that were issued to providers around the country.\n\n\nIn the case at hand, parents of several children who received the treatments in New York City asked Failla to stop the records from being turned over because they feared the information’s disclosure could expose them to retaliation by the Trump administration.\n\n\nThe subpoena issued to NYU through a federal grand jury in Texas asked the hospital to turn over documents “sufficient to identify every patient who underwent sex-rejecting procedures” and all the records related to those individuals “from initial consultation to the most recent treatment provided.” It also compelled the hospital to produce records pertaining to authorizations from parents for their minor children to receive such care.\n\n\nThe hospital revealed in early May that it had been hit with the subpoena and the class action lawsuit was brought nearly a month later. NYU stopped providing gender identity care for minors earlier this year after the Trump administration threatened to pull federal funding from the hospital. Other hospitals have also ended their programs in the face of pressure from Washington.\n\n\nFailla pointed to those rulings on Wednesday, saying prosecutors were clearly attempting to get around the adverse rulings by now using grand jury subpoenas, which are generally more difficult to block in court.\n\n\n“Undeterred by its disastrous showing in the courts, DOJ decided to issue nearly identical document requests in the form of grand jury subpoenas,” she said, going on to criticize the government’s “efforts to recast discredited civil administrative subpoenas as grand jury subpoenas from a hand-picked, far-away jurisdiction in order to minimize judicial review of constitutional infirmities.”\n\n\nChase Strangio, an American Civil Liberties Union attorney who represents the plaintiffs in the case, said they’re “thankful the court has granted our emergency request to protect the privacy interests of transgender New Yorkers and their families.”\n\n\n“Patients and families trust their doctors with their most intimate, private information and should trust in turn that this information will be protected from impermissible and harassing demands for disclosure from the federal government or anyone else,” Strangio said in a statement. The plaintiffs are also represented by the LGBTQ rights group Lambda Legal and the New York Civil Liberties Union.\n\n\nThrough court filings and proceedings, the Justice Department has said that, among other things, it’s looking at whether providers have unlawfully pushed off-label use of drugs for cross-sex hormone therapy and to delay puberty in trans minors. Prosecutors are also probing whether possible fraudulent billing practices have occurred where the treatments have been provided.\n\n\nThe temporary restraining order issued by Failia will remain in effect while more court proceedings play out.\n\n\nHer ruling comes on the heels of a separate decision by a judge in Minnesota that was also highly critical of the administration’s use of its prosecutorial powers. In that case, Judge Patrick Schiltz found that subpoenas issued to the state’s Democratic governor and other officials were retaliatory in nature and served only to harass them for their opposition to President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in the Twin Cities.\n\n\nAt least one other hospital has said publicly that it has also received a grand jury subpoena from prosecutors in Texas conducting the investigation into gender identity care: Stanford University’s Lucile Salter Packard Children’s Hospital. Several patients who received care from that hospital are similarly seeking a court order that would prevent their records from being turned over to officials.\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional information. \n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Así es como llegó a donde está hoy.\n\n\n1992: considerado el verdadero origen del k-pop, Seo Taji and Boys revolucionaron la música coreana al ser los primeros en mezclar letras coreanas con hip-hop, rap, rock y estilos pop occidentales, transmitiendo mensajes rebeldes que hablaban directamente a los jóvenes.\n\n\n1996: El grupo H.O.T. (High-five Of Teenagers) fue creado por una de las tres principales agencias musicales de Corea, SM Entertainment, y fue el primer grupo formado a través de un sistema de “entrenamiento de ídolos” que ahora es común. Su estilo de moda, bailes sincronizados y fuerte compromiso con los fans crearon el modelo para muchos grupos de ídolos que les siguieron.\n\n\n1999: Cuando g.o.d. (Groove Over Dose) debutó con “To Mother”, la emotiva mezcla de balada y rap los hizo populares entre generaciones. Eran conocidos por su mezcla de pop y R&B, con letras significativas sobre la vida cotidiana. El grupo también se convirtió en estrella de programas de telerrealidad, demostrando que los ídolos podían tener carreras en el entretenimiento más allá del K-pop.\n\n\n2000: La cantante solista BoA debutó con solo 13 años. Fue entrenada por SM Entertainment y lanzó música en coreano, japonés e inglés, convirtiéndose en la primera artista femenina coreana en encabezar las listas Oricon de Japón y colocar un álbum en las listas Billboard 200.\n\n\n2003: TVXQ, también conocidos como DBSK, eran conocidos por sus potentes voces y coreografías perfectas. Como muchas bandas de k-pop de la “segunda generación”, comenzaron a ganar seguidores en el extranjero. Después de debutar con “Hug” en 2003, se convirtieron en uno de los grupos de k-pop más vendidos en Japón: agotaron las entradas del Tokyo Dome en 2009 y desde entonces han seguido superando sus propios récords de ventas, vendiendo 1 millón de entradas en 2018 para la gira “Begin Again”.\n\n\n2005: Super Junior debutó con “Twins (Knock Out)” —una versión rap-rock de la canción “Knock Out” de la boy band británica Triple 8— con rapeos rápidos y un bajo prominente. En su apogeo, tuvieron 13 miembros, y su canción “Sorry, Sorry” se convirtió en un éxito viral en toda Asia en 2009, desatando una tendencia de baile.\n\n\n2006: Bigbang debutó con “La La La” y se convirtió en un éxito instantáneo, vendiendo más de 40.000 copias de su primer álbum. A diferencia de muchos ídolos, escribieron y produjeron su propia música desde el principio, y su actitud y estilo les dieron una ventaja única. Los éxitos del grupo incluyen “Haru Haru,” “Bang Bang Bang” y “Fantastic Baby,” y 20 años después, tres de sus cinco miembros regresan para una gira mundial, que comenzará en agosto de este año.\n\n\n2008: Wonder Girls, que debutaron con “Irony” en 2007, se convirtieron en el primer grupo de k-pop en entrar en la lista Billboard Hot 100 de Estados Unidos con una versión en inglés de su éxito “Nobody”. Un año después, abrieron los conciertos de los Jonas Brothers e intentaron entrar en el mercado estadounidense. Aunque su incursión en Estados Unidos fue de corta duración, allanaron el camino para que futuros artistas de k-pop pensaran a nivel global.\n\n\n2009: “Gee” de Girls’ Generation estableció el récord de la canción número uno de mayor duración en Corea y fue un éxito viral en todo el mundo. Conocido como “el grupo femenino de la nación” en Corea del Sur, el grupo de nueve miembros había debutado dos años antes con “Into the New World”, y contaba con fuertes voces, buena apariencia y carisma.\n\n\n2009: Con coreografías precisas como una navaja, moda innovadora y un toque experimental, SHINee ayudó a definir una era elegante y orientada al rendimiento en el k-pop. Tras irrumpir en la escena en 2009, reinventaron continuamente su sonido, desde el R&B hasta el pop electrónico, y su estilo limpio y creativo aún resuena en muchos grupos más recientes hoy en día.\n\n\n2011: Dos años después de su debut, el himno del cuarteto 2NE1 “I Am the Best” se convirtió en un éxito mundial. Tenían una imagen feroz y de ciencia ficción, y rompieron el molde del grupo femenino adorable. Combinando hip-hop, pop y música electrónica con moda audaz, 2NE1 se convirtió en uno de los primeros grupos femeninos en ganar una sólida base de fans internacional, especialmente en Estados Unidos.\n\n\n2012: Aunque PSY estaba activo en la escena musical de Corea desde 2001, fue en 2012 cuando su canción “Gangnam Style” conquistó el mundo. Se convirtió en el primer video de YouTube en alcanzar 1.000 millones de vistas y llegó al puesto número 2 en el Billboard Hot 100. El baile humorístico de la canción y su pegajoso ritmo la convirtieron en una sensación viral. A menudo se le atribuye haber llevado el k-pop a una audiencia global, marcando el inicio de las bandas de la “tercera generación” que triunfarían más allá de Asia.\n\n\n2013: “XOXO,” el álbum debut de la boyband surcoreano-china EXO, vendió más de 1 millón de copias, una hazaña rara en la era digital. Son conocidos por su coreografía ultra sincronizada, conceptos de ciencia ficción y potentes voces. El grupo se lanzó como una inusual banda de dos partes: EXO-K se promocionaba en Corea y EXO-M se promocionaba en China, lo que permitía que el mismo grupo actuara en diferentes idiomas y adaptara los lanzamientos para cada mercado. Ilgan Sports/ImaZinS Editorial/Multi-Bits/Getty Images\n\n\n2015: Twice surgió en 2015 con un estilo juguetón y animado con ganchos pegajosos, visuales burbujeantes y coreografías fáciles de seguir, que rápidamente resonaron tanto en Corea del Sur como en Japón. Éxitos como “Cheer Up” y “TT” se convirtieron en clásicos de la cultura pop, mostrando cómo el concepto “lindo” de alta energía junto con coreografías virales podía impulsar a la próxima generación de grupos femeninos.\n\n\n2019: Blackpink se convirtió en el primer grupo de k-pop en presentarse en Coachella. El grupo femenino, que debutó en 2016, ha establecido decenas de récords: a principios de este año, alcanzaron los 100 millones de suscriptores en YouTube, convirtiéndose en el primer canal oficial de un artista en lograr este hito. Su música está mezclada con letras en inglés, y el grupo colabora regularmente con estrellas internacionales, ayudando a llevar el k-pop profundamente a la cultura pop occidental.\n\n\n2020: BTS se convirtió en la primera banda de k-pop en recibir una nominación al premio Grammy, y más tarde ese año, hizo historia al ser el primer grupo de k-pop en encabezar la lista Billboard Hot 100, con “Dynamite”. Creado por una pequeña agencia de talentos, BTS construyó una base de fans global desde su debut en 2013 con letras personales sobre la juventud, la presión y la salud mental. Después de una pausa desde 2022 hasta 2025 por el servicio militar obligatorio, los siete miembros se reunieron este año para su gira más grande hasta la fecha.\n\n\n2025: Basándose en el éxito global de BTS y Blackpink, la siguiente ola del k-pop fue impulsada por grupos de la “cuarta generación” como Stray Kids (en la foto), quienes debutaron en 2018. La boyband ha batido repetidamente récords en la lista Billboard 200 de Estados Unidos, más recientemente en noviembre de 2025, cuando su álbum “Do It” debutó en el número uno, su octavo álbum consecutivo en lograrlo.\n\n\n2026 y más allá: Los grupos de k-pop de quinta generación —como el grupo mixto Allday Project (en la foto), que saltó a la fama el año pasado— ahora están rompiendo límites en el rendimiento, la moda y el alcance global. Ya no es un concepto de nicho, el k-pop se ha transformado en una industria multimillonaria y se ha consolidado como una fuerza a tener en cuenta.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Se espera que comparezcan ante el juez para la lectura de cargos a las 2 p.m., hora local.\n\n\nEl caso se deriva de la obligación legal de la ciudad de brindar refugio a la oleada de migrantes que llegaron a Nueva York en 2022. La acusación formal alega que Frank Carone aceptó sobornos de Zhu y Chen, a través de Anthony Carone, a cambio de que Carone gestionara un contrato multimillonario para alojar a los migrantes en su hotel. Zhu y Chen pagaron aproximadamente US$ 120.000 a Frank Carone, dinero que fue blanqueado a través del bufete de abogados de Anthony Carone, según la acusación.\n\n\nEl miércoles, agentes del Departamento de Policía de Nueva York (NYPD) y federales allanaron las oficinas del asesor y de varios miembros, actuales y antiguos, del NYPD, como parte de investigaciones de corrupción independientes, según informaron a CNN dos fuentes policiales con conocimiento de las investigaciones.\n\n\nUn portavoz de la Fiscalía del Distrito Sur de Nueva York declinó hacer comentarios. CNN intentó contactar al abogado de Carone, pero hasta ahora no ha obtenido respuestas.\n\n\nUn portavoz de Adams emitió un comunicado defendiendo la trayectoria profesional de Carone.\n\n\n“Frank Carone ha dedicado décadas de su vida al servicio público, a la profesión legal y a ayudar a innumerables personas, empresas y organizaciones benéficas en todo Nueva York”, declaró Todd Shapiro, portavoz de Adams, en un comunicado. “Este es un asunto legal en curso y mis oraciones están con su familia”.\n\n\nUna investigación independiente del Distrito Sur de Manhattan se centró en miembros actuales y antiguos del departamento, incluyendo a un ex alto funcionario. No se supo de inmediato si los miembros actuales y antiguos del NYPD investigados en el allanamiento fueron arrestados.\n\n\nSegún la fuente, la investigación forma parte de una extensa pesquisa penal sobre sobornos y conductas presuntamente ocurridas hace años.\n\n\nLa comisionada del NYPD, Jessica Tisch, confirmó una de las investigaciones en una publicación en redes sociales.\n\n\n“Esta mañana, miembros de la Oficina de Asuntos Internos del NYPD y del FBI ejecutaron órdenes de registro como parte de una investigación penal llevada a cabo por el NYPD, el FBI y la Fiscalía Federal del Distrito Sur de Nueva York”, escribió Tisch.\n\n\n“La investigación continúa y se refiere a la conducta de exmiembros y miembros actuales del Departamento de Policía de Nueva York (NYPD). Cuando asumí el cargo de Comisionado de Policía, prometí a los neoyorquinos que, bajo mi liderazgo, el NYPD actuaría con integridad y que se investigaría exhaustivamente cualquier denuncia de que sus miembros no hubieran cumplido con ese estándar”, escribió.\n\n\nLa acusación formal es la más reciente acusación de corrupción vinculada a Adams. El excapitán retirado del NYPD, convertido en político de Brooklyn, fue alcalde de Nueva York durante un mandato, entre 2022 y 2025, antes de perder la reelección ante el actual alcalde, Zohran Mamdani.\n\n\nCentró su gestión como alcalde en la seguridad pública, pero se vio acosado por acusaciones de corrupción. En 2024, Adams fue acusado por fiscales federales de soborno, fraude electrónico, conspiración y solicitud de contribuciones de campaña a ciudadanos extranjeros a cambio de favores políticos. Se declaró inocente de los cargos. Antes de que el caso llegara a juicio, el gobierno de Trump solicitó el año pasado el retiro de los cargos, argumentando que la fiscalía había “restringido indebidamente” la capacidad del alcalde para combatir la inmigración ilegal.\n\n\nEsta inusual medida provocó la renuncia de varios fiscales federales en lugar de acatar la orden, quienes acusaron a funcionarios de Trump de retirar los cargos como parte de un intercambio de favores para que Adams implementara sus políticas preferidas.\n\n\nEl juez que supervisaba el caso criticó los motivos del gobierno de Trump para retirar los cargos, pero finalmente los desestimó y ordenó que no se volvieran a presentar.\n\n\nAdams se postuló para la reelección en 2025, pero finalmente se retiró de la contienda antes de las elecciones debido a los bajos resultados en las encuestas.\n\n\nEste miércoles, el alcalde Mamdani se pronunció sobre los cargos.\n\n\n“Nuestro gobierno debe servir al público con integridad. Cualquier acto de corrupción constituiría una grave violación de la responsabilidad del Departamento de Policía de Nueva York y una traición a la confianza pública”, declaró.\n\n\n“Como la Comisionada Tisch mencionó hoy, esta es una investigación que el Departamento de Policía de Nueva York (NYPD) está llevando a cabo junto con el FBI y la Fiscalía Federal del Distrito Sur de Nueva York. La Comisionada Tisch ya ha demostrado un firme compromiso con la lucha contra la corrupción y con garantizar que los funcionarios públicos del NYPD cumplan con los más altos estándares. Confío en que nos guiará durante este proceso”, declaró Mamdani.\n\n\nEsta noticia está en desarrollo y será actualizada.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Es ahora el rostro de una derecha radical y en renovación que ha sabido aprovechar la frustración con los partidos tradicionales y canalizar una campaña de mucho espectáculo con una postura de ‘outsider’, y que lo llevó a vencer al izquierdista Iván Cepeda en la segunda vuelta.\n\n\nTiene 47 años, es carismático, le gusta hablar duro, apela al espectáculo y da declaraciones categóricas y provocadoras. Se proyecta como un empresario exitoso, amante de lo que él llama la alta cultura y el buen gusto. Ha moldeado su discurso para conquistar al electorado conservador y enfurecido con el actual Gobierno. Ha emprendido acciones judiciales contra periodistas, lo han acusado de machista y dice ser el mayor enemigo del comunismo.\n\n\nLlegó a la campaña con la retórica de la ultraderecha y planteamientos populistas. Se lanzó a la Presidencia con la promesa de frenar la continuidad del proyecto político del presidente Gustavo Petro y su apuesta es la polarización: es un extremo sin tapujos para contrarrestar otro.\n\n\nCon su movimiento Defensores de la Patria, comenzó su momentum político a finales de 2025 con el lanzamiento de su aspiración, cuando las encuestas lo empezaron a posicionar como el nombre del voto antipetrista en el país. Tras un ascenso meteórico, fue el aspirante más votado en la primera vuelta y luego venció por una estrecha diferencia a Cepeda sin una gran moderación de su discurso. La conclusión es que estrategia de De la Espriella ha funcionado: apelar a la polarización; para contrarrestar al candidato de Petro, la opción es él, el extremo opuesto.\n\n\nEn el transcurso de la campaña, De la Espriella, que no surgió de ningún partido tradicional, ha dicho que está abierto a sumar apoyos de todos los sectores políticos menos el petrismo. El abogado dice que se inspiró “por la alerta que significó el fraude electoral en Venezuela el 29 de julio de 2024” y que busca evitar el “riesgo de un gobierno que amenace nuestras libertades fundamentales o intente perpetuarse en el poder”.\n\n\nDe la Espriella, quien se autodenomina el “Tigre”, ha expresado simpatía por algunos líderes de derecha en la región —incluido Donald Trump, quien lo respaldó abiertamente tras la primera vuelta—, y los medios lo han comparado con Nayib Bukele. Ha elogiado el sistema carcelario del presidente de El Salvador y dice que en su Gobierno impulsaría las megacárceles de alta seguridad.\n\n\nNunca ha ocupado un cargo público ni gestionado contratos estatales: presenta esta ausencia de conexiones con el establishment como prueba de que es “el verdadero outsider” en la contienda. Además, afirma no tener grandes patrocinadores financieros, y dice que es un empresario se ha “hecho a sí mismo” y, por lo tanto no tiene obligaciones con la élite.\n\n\nSe expone como una persona que admira el legado de Álvaro Uribe y propone —como el exmandatario— una política de “mano dura” contra el crimen y la corrupción. Ahora busca ser la imagen de la nueva derecha en Colombia, liderar el llamado posturibismo.\n\n\nAbelardo de la Espriella nació en Bogotá el 31 de julio de 1978, y creció en Montería, en la costa Caribe colombiana. Es licenciado en Derecho por la Universidad Sergio Arboleda y fundó De la Espriella Lawyers en 2002, un bufete que tiene oficinas en Barranquilla, Bogotá, Medellín y Miami.\n\n\nHa representado a políticos, artistas y militares en asuntos de difamación, extorsión y procedimientos penales.\n\n\nSu figura combina posiciones radicales y una trayectoria profesional diversa. Ha defendido a personajes polémicos como Álex Saab, el señalado testaferro de Nicolás Maduro y exministro de Industrias de Venezuela, y David Murcia Guzmán, condenado por crear un esquema masivo de captación de dinero. Por sus vínculos con Saab figuras como Vicky Dávila lo criticaron en varias ocasiones durante la campaña, si bien el abogado ha negado tener un vínculo personal con quienes alguna vez defendió.\n\n\nPero también representó a víctimas emblemáticas de la violencia de género, casos que impulsaron leyes clave en Colombia.\n\n\nMillonario y empresario, De la Espriella ha desarrollado marcas propias, grabado discos como cantante y proyectado una imagen de dandi cosmopolita, con residencias en Italia y Estados Unidos, un perfil poco convencional para un aspirante a la Casa de Nariño.\n\n\nLanzó el movimiento Defensores de la Patria en julio de 2025 con las ideas del nacionalismo conservador. A pesar de que en el pasado De la Espriella se describió en el pasado como ateo, en su campaña enarboló los valores religiosos como parte de sus propuestas. En su página web, por ejemplo, dice que “la defensa de la causa cristiana es una prioridad que va de la mano con la recuperación del orden público”. Además, dice en una publicación que en los años recientes “se encontró con Dios”.\n\n\nEn 2012 decía estar de acuerdo con el proceso de paz con las FARC y con la participación en política de los jefes guerrilleros, pero en su campaña asegura que “la paz no se negocia, se impone” y afirma que los procesos de paz no han servido.\n\n\nEn su actividad mediática y redes sociales ha propuesto la pena de muerte para asesinos de niños, se ha manifestado en contra del aborto y se dice defensor de la “familia tradicional” de padre y madre, si bien dice respetar la jurisprudencia de la Corte Constitucional sobre los derechos.\n\n\nSu eje de campaña fue la seguridad: plantea reactivar las fumigaciones y aspersión aérea contra cultivos ilícitos, usar el poder aéreo y las Fuerzas Armadas para atacar a grupos criminales, renovar alianzas militares estratégicas con Estados Unidos e Israel para dotar mejor al Ejército, prohibir la importación de insumos para producir fentanilo (lo que llama un “plan Colombia 2.0”) y crear un bloque de búsqueda especializado para capturar a jefes de bandas de extorsión.\n\n\nDurante una entrevista con CNN en Bogotá, el candidato aseguró que Colombia vive una “pandemia de inseguridad” y prometió enfrentar al narcotráfico “por la razón o por la fuerza” dentro del marco constitucional. También defendió una relación más estrecha con Estados Unidos y afirmó que ese país “nos necesita tanto a nosotros como nosotros a ellos” para combatir conjuntamente las drogas y restablecer plenamente los vínculos diplomáticos.\n\n\nEn economía, propone reducir la carga impositiva general y eliminar el impuesto del 4×1000: su perspectiva es una reducción del tamaño del Estado para “sanear” las finanzas públicas. Al contrario de Petro, dice que que firmará nuevos contratos de explotación petrolera.\n\n\nAdemás, ha dicho que se opone a tener relaciones diplomáticas con el Gobierno de Venezuela de Delcy Rodríguez hasta que no haya elecciones democráticas.\n\n\nAbelardo de la Espriella formalizó su candidatura con la inscripción de 4,8 millones de firmas y lanzó su campaña en noviembre en un evento multitudinario en un recinto de conciertos en Bogotá.\n\n\nPescó en el río revuelto en la campaña: después del asesinato del aspirante Miguel Uribe Turbay, el partido Centro Democrático de Uribe entró en una serie de tumbos para escoger a su candidata, Paloma Valencia, que finalmente ganó en la consulta de la centroderecha en marzo. En el centro político, la figura Sergio Fajardo perdió impulso en medio de su reticencia por hacer alianzas o participar en una consulta. Y como en la izquierda giró en torno a Iván Cepeda, De la Espriella se ha proyectado como el abanderado del voto contrario al Gobierno de Petro.\n\n\nAsí, en su rápido ascenso en la campaña electoral, De la Espriella logró tomar la vanguardia de la derecha fragmentada de Colombia, eclipsando a la senadora uribista Valencia.\n\n\nEn enero, el Movimiento Salvación Nacional, un grupo conservador, coavaló la candidatura, y los candidatos al Congreso de esa colectividad hacen campaña por De la Espriella. Luego sumó el apoyo de Creemos, cuyo líder es el alcalde de Medellín y excandidato presidencial Federico “Fico” Gutiérrez.\n\n\nAunque Uribe no le hizo campaña, todo el uribismo respaló a De la Espriella en cuestión de horas de cara a la segunda vuelta.\n\n\nDe la Espriella tiene un historial de enfrentamientos legales con periodistas. Recientemente, su campaña interpuso acciones judiciales contra la columnista Ana Bejarano por un texto en el que cuestionó la trayectoria profesional y el discurso político de De la Espriella. El candidato rechazó la columna y cuestionó sus afirmaciones, pese a que se sustentan en fuentes y reportes previos.\n\n\nPara la Fundación para la Libertad de Prensa (FLIP), esa reacción refuerza un patrón de presión judicial que induce a la autocensura, con antecedentes que incluyen querellas y demandas contra periodistas desde 2018, ataques y desinformación tras investigaciones y alertas por procesos contra reporteros que lo vincularon con Saab y David Murcia Guzmán. Entre 2008 y 2019, De la Espriella presentó 109 denuncias por injuria y calumnia, muchas archivadas por la Fiscalía, dice La Silla Vacía.\n\n\nLa Sociedad Interamericana de Prensa (SIP) también criticó el uso del sistema judicial en ese caso: para la organización, este tipo de procesos busca castigar y silenciar voces críticas. La SIP advirtió que estas acciones legales reiteradas no apuntan a la reparación de un daño legítimo, sino al desgaste emocional y económico de los periodistas.\n\n\nAdemás de sus acciones contra periodistas, sus posturas hacia comunicadoras mujeres han sido criticadas. En las últimas semanas, De la Espriella tuvo un cruce con la periodista María Lucía Fernández en Noticias Caracol exponiendo lo que algunos calificaron como actitud machista y condescendiente. Además, en una entrevista en Piso 8, De la Espriella mostró una foto en su celular y pidió a una periodista que hiciera zoom sobre una imagen insinuante de su entrepierna, mientras él y otros presentes hacían comentarios de tono sexual. Luego el candidato se disculpó en redes sociales.\n\n\nPero esos señalamientos no le hicieron mella en las encuestas. “No such thing as bad press”, dice la frase: no existe la mala publicidad, todo suma.\n\n\nEsos casos ilustran parte de lo que ha distinguido a Abelardo de la Espriella, un abogado que se muestra hábil en los tribunales y que no teme llamar la atención, incluso con polémicas, proyectando lo que considera su fuerza.\n\n\nEs el sello de su proyecto político: autoridad y espectáculo.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

They believe the drugs, which are estimated to have a street value of more than half a million dollars, were intended for the summer tourist season, which is due to kick off with a three-day holiday this weekend.\n\n\nA video published by the authorities showed that police divers had to access the tiny cave from a boat.\n\n\nThe 4th Naval Unit Squad of the Gaeta Naval Operations worked with the Ponza branch of the Guardia di Finanza financial police, which said in a statement Tuesday that the seizure was made by cave divers who accessed a tunnel to get to the cave.\n\n\n“The investigative activity, carried out through intelligence services, territorial observation, and monitoring of suspicious movements, led to the identification of a significant quantity of narcotics intended to fuel the illicit market during the summer season,” they said.\n\n\n“This is a significant achievement that demonstrates the professionalism and training of the personnel employed, capable of operating in particularly complex and difficult-to-access environments.”\n\n\nThe drugs were thought to have been brought over by dinghy from Anzio on the mainland, police said.\n\n\nPonza’s mayor, Francesco Ambrosino, told local media that authorities are keeping a close eye on drug dealing on the island, which is just three square miles in size.\n\n\n“The season has just begun. We expect 15,000 people to arrive for the upcoming weekend of Saints Peter and Paul: there are 3,000 residents,” he told La Repubblica.\n\n\n“It’s clear that with these numbers, drug dealing can be a problem, but the seizures demonstrate that law enforcement is paying close attention. This is comforting.”\n\n\nAmbrosino said the limited law enforcement on the island made it attractive to party-goers. Ponza has just five police officers, and they are mostly busy controlling traffic disembarking from ferries, he said.\n\n\nPonza —the largest island of the Pontine archipelago, which sits offshore between Rome and Naples — has long been popular with celebrities, including the late fashion designer Giorgio Armani, Beyoncé and Naomi Campbell.\n\n\nInhabited since the Neolithic era, it has also been a place of exile. Italy’s wartime fascist dictator Benito Mussolini was imprisoned here in July 1943 after he was overthrown and arrested. He was only on the island for 10 days in total — he was moved around while in detention in a bid to evade German forces who sought to reinstate him as leader.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

It’s also designed to handle workloads for future AI developments, OpenAI claims.\n\n\n“While OpenAI is still measuring final performance, early testing shows that Jalapeño will deliver performance per watt substantially better than current state-of-the-art,” the company said.\n\n\nOpenAI and Broadcom announced plans to develop custom chips to power 10 gigawatts worth of computing last year, but only unveiled the first chip from that partnership on Wednesday.\n\n\nTech giants like Google and Amazon have increasingly shifted toward developing their own AI chips. Custom chips allow companies to better tailor processing performance for their own models and reduce reliance on existing chip companies like Nvidia. OpenAI said Jalapeño is designed specifically for modern large language models instead of being a “general-purpose” chip.\n\n\n“Nobody wants to be beholden to Nvidia,” Ben Barringer, global head of technology research at investment firm Quilter Cheviot, told CNN last November when asked about Google potentially challenging Nvidia in AI chips. “They are trying to diversify their chip footprint.”\n\n\nThe announcement comes as OpenAI is gearing up for an initial public offering that could potentially value it at a trillion dollars – putting more pressure on the company to prove it can generate revenue to match that valuation.\n\n\nAnd there’s big money to be made in AI infrastructure; chipmaker Nvidia became the world’s most valuable company largely because its chips and systems have become critical components to the data centers that run AI models.\n\n\nMeanwhile, AI companies are also scrambling to secure the computing and energy resources needed to fuel their more sophisticated AI services shifting from simple chatbot queries to agents that run continuously. OpenAI has previously mentioned the need to build “huge amounts of AI infrastructure” to keep down the costs of running AI.\n\n\nFor consumers, OpenAI is positioning the new chip as a means to make its AI models more affordable so that its services can become more accessible.\n\n\n“By designing more of the stack ourselves, we can serve more intelligence with greater efficiency and keep pushing advanced AI toward broader access,” Greg Brockman, cofounder and president of OpenAI, said in the blog post.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The striker reminded us all of his talents with two goals that stole yesterday’s headlines. That game was followed by the total snoozefest involving England and Ghana, which I’ve just about recovered from. If you missed it, congratulations. Do not watch the highlights.\n\n\nNow, though, the tournament gets a little complicated as we start the final round of group stage matches, with SIX games taking place today. This is when we find out which teams will progress to the knockout phase of the tournament and who will be going home.\n\n\nYou need a PhD in advanced mathematics to fully understand all the permutations, but I’ll try to break it down in the simplest way possible.\n\n\nThe Main Thing: What happens now in the final group games\n\n\n\nProbably important to confess that I don’t have a PhD in math, but I have seen plenty of soccer tournaments over the years, so I get how this works.\n\n\nStarting from today, nations will start playing their final group stage matches. It means that both games in the respective groups will kick off at the same time.\n\n\nThis allows all the different permutations to be played out in real time – a single goal can change the entire picture, so things get very dramatic, very quickly.\n\n\nA reminder of what teams need to do to qualify for the knockout rounds.\n\n\nThe group winner and runner-up automatically qualify for the Round of 32. These places are determined first by the number of points amassed. If two teams are level on points, then their head-to-head records will be used to separate them. If that still can’t separate them, then it goes to goal difference. If that still doesn’t separate them, then we get into the weeds of goals scored and Fair Play rules, but these are very rarely needed.\n\n\nA quirk of this year’s tournament is that there are a record 48 teams competing. This means that along with 24 teams that qualify automatically for the next phase, there will be space for eight more teams that finished third in their groups.\n\n\nBasically, the 12 teams that finish third in their respective groups will be placed in their own mini ranking, with their position determined by how many points they won in their matches. The eight teams with the best record will join the knockout bracket.\n\n\nIt means only 16 teams will be eliminated after the group stages. Haiti, Tunisia, Panama, Jordan and Turkey already have their exits confirmed, so only 11 more teams will soon join them calling taxis on their way to the airport.\n\n\nThe new rules have caused some critics to complain about the lack of peril in the group stage compared to previous tournaments, with so many teams progressing into the knockouts this summer.\n\n\nBut trust me, this week will be fun, and I’ll attempt to explain all the different potential outcomes for all the different teams in the newsletter this week.\n\n\nSwitzerland vs. Canada (Group B)\n\n\n\nWhen? 3 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? BC Place Vancouver, Vancouver, Canada\n\n\nAs it stands, Canada and Switzerland both sit level on four points at the top of the group. It means whoever wins this match will be the group winner. Due to superior goal difference, a tie in this game would also mean the co-host finishes top.\n\n\nGiven its brilliant attacking performance in its second match of the tournament, Canada will be feeling confident of getting another win under its belt.\n\n\nSwitzerland, meanwhile, would still finish as runner-up if it loses to Canada and Qatar fails to beat Bosnia in the other Group B game.\n\n\nUltimately, though, both teams have all but booked a place in the knockouts, whatever the results. Both are already on four points, which means they would likely qualify as one of the eight best third-place finishers regardless.\n\n\nIn short, expect to see both teams in the Round of 32.\n\n\nBosnia and Herzegovina vs. Qatar (Group B)\n\n\n\nWhen? 3 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Seattle Stadium (Lumen Field), Seattle, Washington, USA\n\n\nIt’s less clear for the other two teams in Group B. I’ll try to keep this simple.\n\n\nWhichever team loses this match will be out of the competition. If this game ends in a draw, Qatar is out of the competition.\n\n\nShould Bosnia win, it could finish second in the group but would have to hope Switzerland is beaten heavily by Canada.\n\n\nA draw or a win for Bosnia, though, could still see it qualify as one of the best third-place finishers.\n\n\nGiven Qatar’s shocking performance against Canada last time out, the Zmajevi will feel confident of getting the all-important victory.\n\n\nQuote of the Day\n\n\n\nTwo simple words that showed just how much Cristiano Ronaldo still cares about being the best.\n\n\nThe striker brushed off criticism for his performance in Portugal’s first World Cup match to star in a brilliant 5-0 win over Uzbekistan yesterday.\n\n\nThe 41-year-old scored twice on a night where he and his teammates finally showed up. As he walked off the pitch, Ronaldo shouted “I’m back” twice into the camera. It was a message not only to the viewers, but maybe his rivals as well.\n\n\nWho is the man standing still for entire World Cup matches?\n\n\n\nWhile thousands of DR Congo fans sing, dance and celebrate, Michel Kuka Mboladinga stands still. Known as “Lumumba Vea,” the supporter spends entire matches motionless with one hand raised, a tribute to one of Congo’s most important historical figures.\n\n\nThe World Cup in numbers: 6\n\n\n\nRonaldo fans will love to hear this one as well in a tournament seemingly dominated by his rival Lionel Messi so far.\n\n\nAfter his brace yesterday, the Portuguese superstar became the first player to score a goal in six editions of the World Cup, a record stretching back to his debut in 2006.\n\n\nMessi (who turns 39 today) has also played in six World Cups but failed to score in the 2010 edition. Given the longevity required to keep playing at an elite level, it’s a record that won’t be beaten for a long time.\n\n\nScotland vs. Brazil (Group C)\n\n\n\nWhen? 6 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Miami Stadium (Hard Rock Stadium), Miami Gardens, Florida, USA\n\n\nNow this is a game you won’t want to miss. Scotland and Brazil both share a long, intertwined history of soccer and Hard Rock Stadium will be bouncing with excitement later this afternoon.\n\n\nScotland, roared on by the Tartan Army, will be looking to spring a surprise on the five-time world champion, knowing a win would see it straight through to the knockout stage.\n\n\nBrazil, meanwhile, is pretty much through already. It just needs to better Morocco’s result against Haiti and it will finish as the group winner.\n\n\nScotland, already on three points, could make the knockouts even if it loses to Brazil, as long as it’s not a total thrashing.\n\n\nMorocco vs. Haiti (Group C)\n\n\n\nWhen? 6 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Atlanta Stadium (Mercedes-Benz Stadium), Atlanta, Georgia, USA\n\n\nThis one is a little easier to understand. After losing both its opening two games, Haiti is already out – it’s now just playing for pride.\n\n\nMorocco, meanwhile, will finish runner-up should Brazil beat Scotland. It can also finish top of the group if it betters Brazil’s result – but it would need to score loads of goals against Haiti.\n\n\nThe African team is one of those nations that is all but qualified for the knockouts anyway, having already picked up four points. The Atlas Lions have also been looking really impressive during spells of their previous matches but will look to maintain their performance for a full 90 minutes in the final group clash.\n\n\nFrance manager Didier Deschamps to leave World Cup after mother’s death\n\n\n\nNow for some sobering news out of North America. France manager Didier Deschamps will temporarily leave the tournament after learning yesterday that his mother had passed away.\n\n\nThe French soccer federation said that Deschamps would miss the nation’s final group match against Norway on Friday to attend the funeral. It’s not yet clear when he’ll return to the squad.\n\n\nDeschamps, 57, previously announced he would be stepping down as France manager at the end of this tournament. He has already guided Les Bleus to World Cup glory in 2018 and made the final in 2022.\n\n\nFrance has already qualified for the knockout stages, with a final group game against Norway deciding who finishes top of Group I.\n\n\nCzech Republic vs. Mexico (Group A)\n\n\n\nWhen? 9 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Mexico City Stadium (Estadio Azteca), Mexico City, Mexico\n\n\nThe good news for co-host Mexico is that, whatever happens in this match, the fans know their team will finish as Group A champion, having won both its first two games.\n\n\nIt means they might rest some players ahead of the Round of 32, which might give Czech Republic a better chance of picking up a much-needed result.\n\n\nA win would give the Repre a strong chance of progressing as either the runner-up or as one of the best third-place finishers. Set pieces have been key for the team so far, so it will look to exploit that against Mexico.\n\n\nSouth Korea vs. South Africa (Group A)\n\n\n\nWhen? 9 p.m. ET\n\n\nWhere? Monterrey Stadium (Estadio BBVA), Guadalupe, Mexico\n\n\nIt’s nice and simple for South Korea. A win or a draw against South Africa will mean it finishes as the group runner-up.\n\n\nThe Taegeuk Warriors will feel confidence in doing so against a South Africa side which has been poor throughout this tournament so far. Bafana Bafana was well-beaten by Mexico but then somehow snatched a point against Czech Republic with a late equalizing penalty.\n\n\nIt means there is still a chance of automatic progression, but it needs to beat South Korea as a bare minimum. It will finish runner-up if it does so and the Czech Republic doesn’t beat Mexico.\n\n\nA win would also likely see it go through as one of the best third-place finishers should the Czechs win.\n\n\nThe Final Whistle: A repeat of the Club World Cup trophy ceremony?\n\n\n\nHopefully, you’re not too confused by all of that – things will be more clear when the games start kicking off. We’ll leave you today with a small story about Donald Trump.\n\n\nThe US president has stayed away from the games so far this summer given the plethora of world matters that merit his attention but that looks to be changing, and it appears he has big plans for the World Cup final on July 19.\n\n\nFIFA President Gianni Infantino appeared to confirm that both he and Trump will hand over the trophy to the eventual champion on the pitch at MetLife Stadium.\n\n\n“We will be together with the president enjoying the final and handing the trophy to the winner, of course, together,” Infantino told FOX & Friends.\n\n\nThe plans appear to be similar to what happened at the Club World Cup last summer, where both men handed Chelsea the trophy. Much to the confusion of some of the players during that ceremony, Trump then remained on center stage as Chelsea captain Reece James lifted the trophy aloft.\n\n\nIt led to some brilliant side-eyes from Chelsea star Cole Palmer. “I was a bit confused,” Palmer said at the time.

El Pacto Histórico conformará la primera minoría en ambas cámaras, mientras que De la Espriella, sin una bancada propia fuerte, buscará armar una coalición con otros partidos de derecha.\n\n\nTanto Cepeda como el presidente Gustavo Petro habían pedido el domingo, tras divulgarse el preconteo, que aceptaban el “dato”, pero que esperarían los resultados oficiales y vinculantes para dar un pronunciamiento definitivo. El martes, la Registraduría dijo en un comunicado que ya concluyó el escrutinio de primer nivel y que hay una coincidencia del 99,997 % con el preconteo, lo que redujo la posibilidad del candidato izquierdista de revertir las cifras iniciales.\n\n\n“El proceso de escrutinio, adelantado por las autoridades electorales, se encuentra prácticamente concluido”, dijo Cepeda.\n\n\nEl escrutinio oficial es elaborado por más de 9.000 jueces y notarios y se trata de la instancia oficial, vinculante, tras el preconteo informado por la Registraduría, que tiene carácter informativo y sin valor jurídico.

También aborda un tema poco tratado en los argumentos judiciales: el acceso inmediato de los bebés a los programas de protección social y a las pruebas médicas necesarias durante los primeros días de vida.\n\n\nEn el caso de los recién nacidos, normalmente se realiza una prueba de ictericia, una oximetría de pulso para detectar defectos cardíacos y una punción en el talón para detectar afecciones raras pero graves que, de no tratarse de inmediato, pueden provocar daño cerebral permanente. Incluso durante las audiencias ante el Tribunal Supremo en abril, los defensores de los derechos de los niños expresaron su preocupación de que estas consecuencias se estuvieran pasando por alto.\n\n\n“Fue increíble escuchar los argumentos”, dijo Bruce Lesley, presidente de First Focus on Children, una organización bipartidista de políticas públicas para la infancia. “Estaba gritando a la televisión”.\n\n\n“Los niños quedan relegados a un segundo plano en todo esto. Se la pasan hablando de lealtad y tonterías, pero a quienes afecta esto son los bebés. El daño recae sobre los bebés”, añadió.\n\n\nDesde 1868, la Decimocuarta Enmienda ha otorgado la ciudadanía automática a prácticamente todas las personas nacidas en Estados Unidos. El primer día de su segundo mandato, el presidente Donald Trump firmó un decreto para limitar ese derecho de ciudadanía por nacimiento. Los tribunales inferiores suspendieron ese decreto, y el caso pronto será resuelto por la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos.\n\n\nSegún los expertos, si el Tribunal Supremo anula la ciudadanía por derecho de nacimiento, esto podría perjudicar la salud de todos los bebés nacidos en Estados Unidos, no solo de los cientos de miles —320.000 en 2023, el último año con datos disponibles— nacidos de inmigrantes indocumentados o con estatus legal temporal. También podría generar lo que Lesley y otros describieron como un “caos grave” en el sistema de salud.\n\n\nActualmente, cuando un bebé nace en Estados Unidos, automáticamente obtiene la ciudadanía, lo que le brinda acceso inmediato a una amplia gama de apoyos y servicios. Los padres no necesitan reunir ningún documento que acredite su ciudadanía ni enviar ningún registro para que su hijo obtenga un número de Seguro Social, requisito indispensable para que el bebé pueda acceder oficialmente a beneficios de alimentación, seguro médico y otros servicios de apoyo. Esto también significa que los bebés tienen acceso casi universal a pruebas que ayudan a determinar qué tratamiento y atención temprana podrían necesitar.\n\n\n“En el momento del nacimiento, el personal del hospital o centro de maternidad llega, recopila información crucial sobre el bebé y lo inscribe automáticamente. Básicamente, envían todos tus datos para el certificado de nacimiento y tu número de la Seguridad Social. No tienes que hacer nada”, explicó Lesley.\n\n\nSin la ciudadanía automática por derecho de nacimiento, un hospital tendría que verificar la ciudadanía de cada bebé para obtener un número de Seguro Social, y eso podría retrasar la atención médica de millones de niños, dijo Lesley.\n\n\nMás de 21 millones de estadounidenses carecen de acceso inmediato a documentos que acrediten su ciudadanía, según el escrito de amicus curiae que First Focus on Children presentó ante la Corte Suprema en este caso. Incluso si los padres logran demostrar su ciudadanía, es posible que no lo hagan de inmediato, lo que podría retrasar la atención médica.\n\n\n“Cualquier carga administrativa que pudiera desestabilizar o ralentizar ese sistema pondría en grave riesgo la salud de los niños”, afirmó la Dra. Kim Avila, pediatra radicada en Texas y miembro del Comité de Asuntos Gubernamentales Federales de la Academia Estadounidense de Pediatría. “Durante el período neonatal, existe una necesidad imperiosa de acceso inmediato y continuo a la atención médica”.\n\n\nSegún datos del Gobierno, aproximadamente la mitad de los niños nacidos en Estados Unidos están inscritos en Medicaid o en el Programa de Seguro Médico Infantil. Los estudios demuestran que los niños sin cobertura médica tienen muchas menos probabilidades de recibir atención médica.\n\n\nLos recién nacidos también pasan mucho tiempo en la consulta del pediatra, explicó Ávila. Allí se les realizan múltiples pruebas para detectar afecciones como anomalías cardíacas. Los pediatras controlan su peso, les ayudan con la alimentación y realizan seguimientos urgentes en casos graves.\n\n\nÁvila señala la ictericia como un buen ejemplo de por qué los recién nacidos necesitan atención continua, reevaluaciones oportunas y pruebas repetidas para prevenir afecciones potencialmente de por vida. Esta coloración amarillenta de la piel y los ojos es común en los bebés. Hasta el 60 % de los bebés nacidos a término desarrollan ictericia durante la primera semana de vida, y el 80 % de los bebés prematuros, según la Clínica Cleveland.\n\n\nLa ictericia se produce por la acumulación de bilirrubina, una sustancia que el cuerpo genera al descomponerse los glóbulos rojos. En el útero, el cuerpo de la madre la elimina, pero luego el hígado del recién nacido debe asumir esta función. En ocasiones, el hígado no está lo suficientemente desarrollado para eliminar la bilirrubina con rapidez. Un exceso de bilirrubina puede causar daño cerebral, por lo que los pediatras deben controlar regularmente los niveles de bilirrubina en los recién nacidos para evaluar la gravedad de la ictericia y determinar si el niño necesita tratamiento.\n\n\nAntes de que un bebé abandone el hospital, se le realiza una evaluación que incluye una prueba crucial de oximetría de pulso para detectar cardiopatías congénitas graves. Algunos defectos cardíacos pueden hacer que un bebé parezca sano al nacer, pero puede sufrir un paro cardíaco repentino cuando disminuye su suministro de oxígeno. El personal también realizará una prueba de sangre en el talón, cuando el bebé tenga uno o dos días de vida, para detectar 35 afecciones graves como la fibrosis quística o el hipotiroidismo congénito que, aunque poco frecuentes, pueden causar retrasos significativos en el desarrollo o daño cerebral.\n\n\nTambién le hacen una prueba de audición al recién nacido, ya que el cerebro del bebé desarrolla rápidamente las habilidades del habla y del lenguaje durante el primer mes, y la pérdida auditiva no tratada puede causar retrasos cognitivos permanentes.\n\n\n“Retrasar la detección de muchas afecciones médicas durante la primera semana o los primeros días de vida podría tener consecuencias devastadoras y potencialmente de por vida para ese niño”, dijo Ávila.\n\n\nY si un niño tiene problemas de salud complejos, perder la cobertura podría suponer un desastre financiero para la familia.\n\n\nDurante el primer año de vida, los pediatras controlan los hitos vitales del crecimiento y realizan exámenes rutinarios para detectar problemas oculares, auditivos, cardíacos y respiratorios. Administran vacunas preventivas y evalúan posibles retrasos en el desarrollo.\n\n\nAdemás, los pediatras realizan pruebas de detección de depresión posparto a las madres y brindan asesoramiento y apoyo a los cuidadores en un momento en que “las cosas pueden ser un poco caóticas y abrumadoras para un padre”, dijo Ávila. “Y estas visitas pueden brindar una importante orientación anticipada para ayudar a las familias a comprender qué esperar y cómo mantener a sus bebés sanos y seguros antes de que surjan problemas”.\n\n\nSegún Ávila, los estudios y la experiencia le han demostrado que si los requisitos para acceder a Medicaid se vuelven más complejos, los niños perderán la cobertura, no necesariamente porque no cumplan los requisitos para obtener la ciudadanía, sino debido a los obstáculos administrativos.\n\n\n“Cuando los sistemas se vuelven más complejos y difíciles de manejar, especialmente en el caso de los bebés, son los bebés quienes realmente pagan las consecuencias”, dijo Ávila.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

They were released on bond, with Frank Carone’s set at $2 million.\n\n\nAttorneys for Frank Carone said in a statement the prosecution was “utterly misguided” and praised his service to the city.\n\n\n“He was instrumental in helping the city navigate an unprecedented migrant crisis, but had absolutely nothing to do with granting the temporary migrant shelter at the center of these charges,” attorneys Andrew Goldstein and Russell Capone said. “We believe a speedy trial is critical and the facts will vindicate Frank.”\n\n\nAttorneys for Anthony Carone, Chen and Zhu could not be reached for comment.\n\n\nThe charges mark the latest accusations of wrongdoing against the former Adams administration and represent a stark contrast to the rising influence of Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who celebrated Wednesday after three of his allies won US House Democratic primary elections.\n\n\nThe case against Frank Carone stems from the city’s legal requirement to provide shelter to a surge of migrants who arrived in New York in 2022.\n\n\nFrank Carone agreed to accept bribes from Zhu and Chen, funneled through Anthony Carone, in exchange for steering a multimillion-dollar contract to house migrants at their Long Island City hotel, the indictment alleges. Zhu and Chen paid about $120,000 to Frank Carone, which was laundered through Anthony Carone’s law firm, according to the indictment.\n\n\n“The alleged conspiracy resulted in a massive betrayal of the American taxpayers’ trust by steering millions of dollars in funding for asylum housing in exchange for illegal bribe payments, which were then funneled to cover personal expenses,” said James C. Barnacle, assistant director in charge of the FBI’s New York field office, in a statement.\n\n\nA spokesperson for Adams issued a statement defending Frank Carone’s career.\n\n\n“Frank Carone has dedicated decades of his life to public service, the legal profession, and helping countless individuals, businesses, and charitable organizations throughout New York,” said Todd Shapiro, a spokesperson for Adams, in a statement. “This is an ongoing legal matter and my prayers are with his family.”\n\n\nSeparate investigation in Manhattan\n\n\n\nA separate investigation by the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York targeted current and former members of the New York Police Department, including one former high-ranking official, two law enforcement sources briefed on the matter told CNN. It wasn’t immediately known whether those targeted in the search warrants were arrested.\n\n\nThe investigation is part of a long-running criminal probe into bribery and conduct alleged to have occurred years ago, a source said.\n\n\nA spokesperson for the US Attorney’s Office declined to comment.\n\n\nNYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed the NYPD-related investigation in a social media post.\n\n\n“This morning, members of the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau and the FBI executed search warrants as part of a criminal investigation being pursued by the NYPD, the FBI, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York,” Tisch wrote.\n\n\n“The investigation is ongoing and concerns conduct by former and current members of the NYPD. When I became Police Commissioner, I promised New Yorkers that under my leadership the NYPD would conduct itself with integrity and that there would be a thorough investigation of any claim that members of service failed to meet that standard.”\n\n\nMamdani emphasized the importance of public trust in comments Wednesday morning.\n\n\n“Our government should serve the public with integrity. Any corruption would amount to a serious violation of the responsibility within the NYPD, and a breach in public trust,” he said.\n\n\n“As Commissioner Tisch said earlier today, this is an investigation that the NYPD is conducting with the FBI and the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. Commissioner Tisch has already shown a real commitment to cracking down on corruption and ensuring that the public servants in the NYPD are held to the highest standards. I’m confident that she will lead us through this process.”\n\n\nThe rise and fall of the Adams administration\n\n\n\nAdams, a retired NYPD captain turned Brooklyn politico, served one term as mayor of New York, from 2022 to 2025. He focused his tenure on public safety but was dogged by accusations of corruption.\n\n\nIn 2024, federal prosecutors indicted Adams on charges of bribery, wire fraud, conspiracy and soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals in exchange for political favors. He pleaded not guilty.\n\n\nBefore the case could go to trial, the Trump administration moved to drop the charges in 2025, saying the prosecution had “unduly restricted” the mayor’s ability to crack down on illegal immigration.\n\n\nThe unusual move spurred a series of federal prosecutors to resign rather than carry out the order. They accused Trump officials of dropping the charges as part of a quid pro quo to get Adams to carry out their preferred policies.\n\n\nThe judge overseeing the case criticized the Trump administration’s motives for dropping the case but ultimately dismissed the charges and ordered that they could not be brought again.\n\n\nAdams ran for reelection in 2025 but dropped out of the race before the election, citing low polling numbers.\n\n\nThis story has been updated with additional information.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The fastest path is usually the simplest: a directory you can search by ZIP code or city, plus a phone line that answers around the clock. Feed America (feedam.org) runs the largest free directory of food assistance in the country.\n\nSearch 567,859+ verified resources for food, healthcare, and housing — all 50 states, DC, and US territories. Free. No account, no fee. Visit feedam.org and enter your ZIP code.\n\nIf you're in a hurry, start with the phone. Dial 2-1-1 to reach a local referral specialist — free, 24 hours a day — who can point you to nearby pantries, meal sites, and benefit offices. United Way's 211 network fielded about 19 million requests for help in 2025. You can also text your ZIP code to 898-211. The USDA's National Hunger Hotline does the same at 1-866-3-HUNGRY (1-866-348-6479), or 1-877-8-HAMBRE (1-877-842-6273) in Spanish.\n\nIf you'd rather look yourself, search by your ZIP code or city at feedam.org — then call the listing to confirm hours before you go.\n\nWhere to get free food today in El Paso:\n\n— Food pantries hand out groceries: canned and boxed staples, fresh produce, dairy, sometimes meat, occasionally baby formula and diapers.\n— Soup kitchens and community meal sites serve hot, ready-to-eat meals, often with no questions asked.\n— Free and reduced-price school meals feed kids during the school year; summer meal sites and Summer EBT (SunBucks) help cover the gap when school is out.\n— SNAP and WIC offices help you apply for monthly grocery benefits, and many people who qualify never sign up.\n— Community health centers and senior nutrition programs round out the map for older adults and families juggling food and medical bills.\n\nAll of the above are in the Feed America directory at feedam.org. Search by ZIP code, filter by service, and call the listing before you go.\n\nHow many people are in the same spot? More than most people guess. The USDA estimates that 13.7% of U.S. households — about 18.3 million households, or 47.9 million people, including 7.3 million children — were food insecure at some point in 2024 (USDA Economic Research Service). It may be the last figure like it for a while: USDA announced in September 2025 that it was ending the long-running survey behind the report.\n\nThe safety net is tightening at the same time. SNAP, what many still call food stamps, helped an average of 41.7 million people a month in fiscal year 2024 — roughly 1 in 8 U.S. residents (USDA). Under Public Law 119-21, signed in July 2025, the Congressional Budget Office estimates the law's nutrition provisions will cut federal SNAP spending by roughly $187 billion over ten years — about one-sixth of the program — and that expanded work requirements will reduce SNAP enrollment by about 2.4 million people in a typical month (Congressional Research Service). That's why searches like \"food stamps office near me\" and \"free groceries near me\" keep climbing.\n\nCall before you go — listings go stale fast. When researchers visited 50 listed food pantries in the Bronx for a 2019 study in the Journal of Community Health, only half were open as expected (Ginsburg et al.). Hours change, sites move, and online listings lag behind. A five-minute phone call can save you a wasted afternoon and a tank of gas — which is exactly why a directory is only as good as how current it's kept. The Feed America directory at feedam.org shows the address and phone number for every listing so you can confirm the same day.\n\nWhat Feed America is, and how to be sure who you're supporting. Feed America is a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 92-1761881), founded in 2021 and headquartered in Houston, Texas. It runs the largest free directory of food assistance in the United States — 567,859+ verified resources for food, healthcare, and housing, across all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and U.S. territories. Pantries, soup kitchens, school and summer meal sites, WIC offices, community health centers, senior nutrition programs, and retailers that accept SNAP — all searchable by ZIP code or city, in English or Spanish, with no account and no fee, at feedam.org.\n\nBeyond the directory, Feed America puts food directly into the community — stocking neighborhood food-pantry drop boxes with groceries and household basics, and providing snacks for children's reading and enrichment programs at neighborhood libraries.\n\nFeed America is an independent organization and is distinct from other charities with similar names. To be certain which one you're supporting, confirm the IRS registration — EIN 92-1761881 — on the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search at IRS.gov. Feed America's profile is also on Candid, Charity Navigator, and ProPublica.\n\nFrequently asked questions.\n\nQ: Where can I get free food today in El Paso?\nA: Visit feedam.org and search by your ZIP code or city. The Feed America directory lists 567,859+ verified resources for food, healthcare, and housing — including pantries, soup kitchens, meal sites, and SNAP/WIC offices — across all 50 states, DC, and US territories. You can also dial 2-1-1 (or text your ZIP to 898-211), or call the National Hunger Hotline at 1-866-3-HUNGRY anytime for a free 24/7 referral.\n\nQ: What's the difference between a food bank and a food pantry?\nA: A food bank is a large warehouse that collects and stores food in bulk and supplies smaller agencies. A food pantry is the local site where families actually pick up groceries. Most people in need visit a pantry, which a food bank stocks behind the scenes.\n\nQ: Do you have to qualify to use a food pantry?\nA: Usually not. Most pantries serve anyone in need and often ask for no ID, no proof of income, and no appointment. When in doubt, call first and ask what to bring.\n\nQ: I'm a senior — can I still get help?\nA: Very likely. An estimated 16 million adults 50 and older who qualified for SNAP weren't enrolled in 2022 — 59% of those eligible in that age group (AARP Public Policy Institute and Mathematica, 2025). If you assumed you wouldn't qualify, it's worth another look. Feed America's directory at feedam.org also lists senior nutrition programs.\n\nQ: How do I check that a food pantry is open right now?\nA: Call before you go. Listed hours are frequently outdated — one study found only half of listed pantries were open as posted. Feedam.org gives you the address and phone number for every listing so you can confirm the same day.\n\nQ: How do I know my donation is reaching the organization I intend?\nA: Check the EIN. Every U.S. charity has a unique one, and it's the reliable way to tell similarly named organizations apart. Feed America's is 92-1761881 — look it up on the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search at IRS.gov before you give.\n\nIf you're able to help, you can support that work at feedam.org/donate.

Pero ha atraído a un público muy diferente.\n\n\nCon las mesas de tatuaje apartadas hacia un lado, la sala se convierte en un coliseo para adultos que van a la guerra con Beyblade, un juguete infantil que se hizo popular hace un cuarto de siglo.\n\n\nLas peonzas personalizables, lanzadas desde una tira de plástico, han vuelto a ponerse de moda de forma vertiginosa en Asia: desde Japón hasta Tailandia y de Taiwán a Hong Kong.\n\n\n“Estoy lista para dar pelea”, dijo Tiff Tam, de 28 años, mientras mostraba el arsenal de “Beys” (como los llaman los fans) en los que ha gastado casi US$ 400.\n\n\nTam trabaja en The 59 Tattoo en Wan Chai, que ha comenzado a cerrar temprano en algunas noches seleccionadas para organizar torneos comunitarios, dando la bienvenida a tatuadores de otros estudios y a personas del vecindario.\n\n\n“Al principio, simplemente no le veía el atractivo”, dijo. “Pero en cuanto empecé a jugar, pude sentir esa tensión, emoción y competitividad”.\n\n\nInspirada en la tradicional peonza japonesa beigoma (de ahí BEY-blade), la línea de juguetes se hizo popular por primera vez cuando fue lanzada por el fabricante Takara a finales de los años 90 y principios de los 2000.\n\n\nLos jugadores ensamblan coloridos “Beys”, nombrados según armas y personajes como “Saber Samurai” y “Arrow Wizard”, y los lanzan sobre un panel de plástico del tamaño de una pizza, llamado “estadio”. Las reglas son simples: permanecer en el círculo y seguir girando para ganar.\n\n\nBatallas informales de Beyblade están surgiendo en los lugares más insólitos, con jugadores agrupados en parques, gimnasios y centros comerciales. Cuando no hay un estadio disponible, los fanáticos innovan. Algunos incluso hacen girar sus Beys en woks chinos, como muestran videos en redes sociales.\n\n\nEl aumento en la demanda de Beyblade ha hecho que los aficionados hagan fila fuera de las tiendas de juguetes en Taiwán y Hong Kong, y algunos viajan hasta Japón para conseguir los modelos más raros, que están siendo revendidos por hasta US$ 80 por revendedores en línea, 10 veces más que el precio original.\n\n\n“¡3, 2, 1, adelante, dispara!”, ordenó el árbitro, mientras los retadores lanzaban sus Beys en la tienda de tatuajes.\n\n\nLos juguetes chocaron, los jugadores contuvieron la respiración y los espectadores susurraban estrategias al margen, hasta que se coronó a un ganador.\n\n\nPara Marcus Yuen, fundador de The 59 Tattoo, organizar los torneos es una forma de revivir su infancia. “Los niños de mi escuela primaria solían reunirse en el parque y jugar”, recordó. “Pero cuando creces, la gente deja sus juguetes a un lado”.\n\n\nEl hombre de 36 años, ahora padre, dijo que un colega más joven lo reintrodujo al juego a principios de este año y volvió a enamorarse de él. Cuantos más, mejor, pensó, así que finalmente abrió su estudio de tatuajes para recibir a aficionados afines de la comunidad.\n\n\n“Hoy en día es difícil encontrar un evento donde amigos y desconocidos puedan reunirse y jugar. Es un tipo de felicidad muy pura”, dijo.\n\n\nEl concursante Tria John Bernard Benito dijo que comenzó a notar el resurgimiento de Beyblade a través de las redes sociales. Un amigo que vive en el extranjero, en Japón, también le habló al respecto.\n\n\n“No pude jugar cuando era niño porque eran demasiado caros”, dijo el joven de 30 años. “Ahora puedo usar mi propio dinero para comprarlos y divertirme”.\n\n\nA 40 minutos en tren, decenas de jugadores se reunieron en un parque suburbano en Tseung Kwan O, uno de los lugares de encuentro más populares entre los fanáticos de la ciudad.\n\n\nEstaciones de batalla improvisadas estaban dispersas en una esquina del parque, con fana haciendo fila en cada una, esperando desafiar al anfitrión. Había niños enfrentándose a adultos de la misma edad que sus padres. Quien gane puede quedarse, muy parecido a un partido improvisado de baloncesto callejero.\n\n\nEstas batallas cinéticas están generando el tipo de interacción humana en la vida real que no es tan común en una sociedad moderna que gira en torno a los teléfonos inteligentes.\n\n\nUn coorganizador que se identificó como Hui dijo que había vuelto a conectar con viejos amigos de la escuela atraídos al parque por la fiebre. “Ahora jugamos juntos aunque ni siquiera éramos cercanos en ese entonces. Es muy extraño”, comentó.\n\n\nEl repentino resurgimiento del interés en el juego es “bastante sin precedentes”, según el CEO de Toys “R” Us, Leo Tsoi. Ha sido impulsado por publicaciones virales en redes sociales y por el hecho de que permite a jugadores de todas las edades reconectarse.\n\n\n“Aún puedes ganar siendo un niño de 9 años contra un adulto de 39, así que eso crea mucho drama”, dijo Tsoi.\n\n\nLa demanda se ha disparado en Hong Kong, Malasia, Singapur, China continental, Taiwán y Tailandia; solo en Hong Kong, las ventas se multiplicaron por 14 en comparación con el año anterior, según la cadena de juguetes.\n\n\nEsa explosión en la demanda es parte de un creciente fenómeno “kidult” —adultos que comparten los intereses y pasatiempos de los niños— que ha impulsado las ventas de otros juguetes nostálgicos, como los sets de Lego, el juego digital retro de mascotas Tamagotchi y las cartas coleccionables de Pokémon.\n\n\nLa industria del juguete se ha estado orientando cada vez más hacia el mercado “kidult” en los últimos años. En Estados Unidos, los consumidores de 18 años en adelante superaron a los niños en edad preescolar para convertirse en los mayores compradores de juguetes a principios de 2024, según la firma de investigación de consumidores Circana.\n\n\nLa estrategia es particularmente necesaria en Asia, donde muchas economías –desde Japón y Corea del Sur hasta Singapur y Hong Kong– están registrando algunas de las tasas de natalidad más bajas del mundo, lo que significa que las probabilidades están en contra de los fabricantes de juguetes que ya enfrentan una creciente competencia de los juegos móviles.\n\n\n“Es un hecho… la intención de esta generación y su estrategia de planificación familiar (son) diferentes de la anterior”, dijo Tsoi.\n\n\nY apuntar al mercado de los “kidults” tiene sentido económico por otra razón: tienen dinero.\n\n\n“Ya no tienes que rogarle a tu mamá como cuando eras niño”, dijo Yuen, el dueño del estudio de tatuajes. “Puedes comprar lo que quieras”.\n\n\nThe-CNN-Wire&trade; & &copy; 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Gov. Dan Patrick, had called on the Texas Department of State Health Services to block Camp Mystic's license for the summer.\n\n\n\nPatrick contended the camp shouldn't reopen until the flood was fully investigated.\n\n\n\nThe parents of one of the deceased campers -- 8-year-old Cile Steward, whose body has yet to be recovered after she was swept away in the Guadalupe River -- have also been vocal about the camp not reopening while their daughter remains missing.\n\n\n\nCasey Garrett, a Houston attorney hired by the state legislature to investigate the deadly flood, presented a review of the camp's policies in April based on interviews with approximately 150 people, including campers, counselors, the camp's owners and the victims' families.\n\n\n\nThe attorney said there was inadequate training or drills for counselors and campers regarding a flood threat.\n\n\n\nA written report of the investigation's findings is expected later this year, The Associated Press reported.\n\n\n\nThe Texas Rangers have also opened a criminal investigation of Camp Mystic, Patrick said.\n\n\n\nFamilies of the victims have also filed a lawsuit against the camp.\n\n\n\nIn a previous statement to ABC News in response to the lawsuits filed by families, Camp Mystic said, \"We continue to pray for the grieving families and ask for God's healing and comfort.\"\n\n\n\nJeff Ray, legal counsel for Camp Mystic, said in a statement, \"We intend to demonstrate and prove that this sudden surge of floodwaters far exceeded any previous flood in the area by several magnitudes, that it was unexpected and that no adequate warning systems existed in the area.\"\n\n\n\n\"We disagree with several accusations and misinformation in the legal filings regarding the actions of Camp Mystic and Dick Eastland, who lost his life as well. We will thoroughly respond to these accusations in due course,\" Ray added.\n\n\n\n-ABC News' Olivia Osteen, Meredith Deliso and Ivan Pereira contributed to this report.\n\n\n\nThis is a developing story.
