Setting aside differences, Bass and Caruso work together on Palisades rebuilding | Los Angeles Times | https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-04-10/setting-sniping-aside-bass-and-caruso-work-together-on-palisades-rebuilding | [

] | [] | Billionaire developer Rick Caruso strongly criticized Mayor Karen Bass’ leadership during the Palisades fire and hasn’t ruled out challenging her in next year’s election.
Bass’ allies, meanwhile, have taken aim at Caruso, painting him as one of several wealthy right-wingers who weaponized the Jan. 7 blaze and spread misinformation about the mayor.
But on Thursday, all of that drama was put on pause. The one-time political adversaries — Bass soundly defeated Caruso in 2022 — appeared together on a sun-drenched corner in the Palisades to tout a plan to rebuild the local city-owned recreation center.
Private donations from Caruso’s philanthropic group Steadfast LA will help pay for the roughly $30 million redesign of the Palisades Recreation Center on Alma Real Drive, which was damaged in the fire. The sprawling center had tennis courts, basketball court, a playground and more, and was a popular neighborhood gathering place.
In separate interviews at the event, reporters asked Bass and Caruso about their relationship. Caruso said he believed it was the first time they had appeared in public together since they were opponents in the 2022 election.
Bass glossed over questions about Caruso’s past criticisms of her, saying the “goal is restoring and healing this community.”
“It is appropriate for us to come together in a public-private partnership — that’s the best way to get things done,” Bass said. “Government can’t do everything on its own.”
Another major donor for the recreation center rebuilding is L.A. Strong Sports, a group started by Lakers coach JJ Redick, a Palisades resident who coached a youth basketball team at the center. Redick, who also appeared at Thursday’s event, said the rebuilt recreation center will be “the cornerstone of this community.”
Still, the joint Bass-Caruso appearance garnered the most attention, given their rocky history.
On X, user @therealValverde wrote: “That’s cool, JJ Redick helped bring Karen Bass and Rick Caruso together!”
Caruso spent more than $100 million of his own money on his mayoral bid but lost to Bass by nearly 10 points. In the Palisades, he earned more votes than Bass.
Since then, he hasn’t ruled out another political run, including for governor.
After the fire broke out, he appeared on Fox 11, calling the lack of water coming out of fire hydrants “an absolute mismanagement by the city.” He also pointed to Bass’ absence — the mayor was in Ghana on a diplomatic trip.
Since then, Caruso has used social media to call for an independent investigation into the fire and to continue to needle Bass. Last month, he accused her of using the word “nuisance” to describe destroyed homes.
Bass’ allies have argued that she’s under attack from “wealthy oligarchs,” including Caruso and Nicole Shanahan, a Trump supporter who is helping bankroll a campaign to recall her. (Caruso opposes the recall effort.)
At the Thursday event, Caruso said he’s friends with Bass and that they’ve known each other for 30 years. He said he visited Bass at City Hall about six months after the 2022 election.
Given his recent attacks on Bass’ leadership, Caruso was asked what he thinks of her work so far.
“I think she’s trying. I would like to see, and I know the residents would like to see, more happen,” he said.
More broadly, he said, the city needs to put pressure on commercial building owners to clear out fire debris that remains on their properties.
For her part, Bass said the city is on pace for one of the fastest fire recoveries ever in California. Compared to the Woolsey and Camp fires, “we are months and months ahead,” she said.
More than a dozen Palisades residents, including Jessica Rogers, president of the Pacific Palisades Residents Assn., attended Thursday’s event. Rogers approached Caruso and thanked him for appearing next to Bass, urging him to continue his relationship with the city.
“It is so important for our community to see you stand in line with the mayor and work together as a team,” she said. | 2025-04-11T02:01:00.460000 | false |

] | Police working dogs are now involved in the search for the fourth and final missing U.S. soldier whose armored vehicle sank in a swamp in Lithuania last week.
Three American soldiers were declared deceased Monday after crews retrieved the M88 Hercules armored recovery vehicle from a peat bog near Pabradė, Lithuania. The vehicle disappeared on March 25 "while conducting a mission to repair and tow an immobilized tactical vehicle," according to U.S. Army Europe and Africa.
"Police working dogs from the Lithuanian Armed Forces began work yesterday afternoon and NATO ally Estonia joined the recovery efforts early this morning," U.S. Army Europe and Africa said in a statement Tuesday.
"Two Estonian recovery dogs, Tilt and Maik, and their handlers flew from Tallinn, Estonia. They arrived on scene at 2:00 a.m. and began searching at 7:00 a.m. this morning. Handlers have positioned the dogs in a U.S. Navy Rigid Inflatable Boat to locate any trace scents below the surface," it added.
U.S. Army Europe and Africa also said "more capabilities continue to flow to the recovery site, including... two specialized drone systems – including one equipped with ground-penetrating radar – are being used to assist in the search."
"The names of the deceased are withheld pending confirmation of next of kin," it continued. "An investigation into the circumstances around this incident is ongoing."
Secretary of the Army Daniel Driscoll wrote on X Monday that "We will not rest until the fourth and final Soldier is found and brought home.
"No words can truly capture the pain of this loss, but my deepest condolences go out to the families, friends, and fellow soldiers mourning their heroes," he said.
U.S. Army Europe and Africa announced Monday that the armored vehicle was removed from the swamp "after a six-day-long effort that required tremendous resources from Lithuania, our steadfast ally, and hundreds of service members from the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, Lithuanian Armed Forces and the Polish Armed Forces – along with other elements from the Lithuanian government and civilian agencies – to solve the engineering challenge of recovering the 63-ton-vehicle from an area surrounded by unstable ground conditions." | 2025-04-01T13:41:18 | false |

Cuatro consejeros de Quim Torra abandonan también el PDECat entre reproches
Final esperado para la escalada de tensión que han experimentando las relaciones entre Carles Puigdemont y el PDECat los últimos años. El expresidente catalán ha anunciado este lunes que deja de ser militante del partido heredero de Convergència. Con este paso, el líder secesionista ha puesto la última piedra a su plan para doblegar, aislar y dinamitar su antigua formación. La salida de Puigdemont ha ido acompañada por un nuevo rosario de bajas, entre ellas las de cuatro consejeros del gobierno de Quim Torra (Meritxell Budó, Miquel Buch, Damià Calvet y Jordi Puigneró).
«Acabo de comunicar a David Bonvehí , presidente del PDECat, mi decisión de darme de baja del partido que preside. Seguiré trabajando, ahora como presidente de Junts per Catalunya, para mantener una relación cordial entre las dos formaciones». Así se ha despedido Puigdemont del partido en el que ha militado desde su juventud y que fue refundado por Artur Mas después de cederle la presidencia de la Generalitat a Puigdemont en 2015. A su vez, los consejeros del Govern han firmado un comunicado conjunto en el que acusan a la dirección del PDECat de no seguir el «mandato» de sus bases y de apostar por la «judicialización» en su relación con Junts per Catalunya, el nuevo partido de Puigdemont al que pertecen casi todos los cargos que están abandonado la formación heredera de CDC.
Puigdemont ha dado este paso tras un fin de semana de disputas y reproches entre Junts, su nuevo aparato político, y el PDECat, una propuesta política heredera de CDC en la que nunca ha creído. La crisis entre ambas formaciones aumentó de temperatura ayer, cuando varios cargos hoy integrados en Junts oficializaron su abandono del PDECat, con ellos, se produjo una cascada de bajas de militantes de base y cuadros locales animada por el propio Puigdemont y varios de los líderes del 1-O fugados o encar celados .
No en vano, el detonante de esta última y (casi) definitiva crisis fue la decisión del PDECat (Partido Demócrata Europeo de Catalunya) de emprender «acciones judiciales» contra Junts per Catalunya al considerar que los de Puigdemont les había «robado» una marca de su propiedad. Ello provocó la reacción airada de varios dirigentes neoconvergentes, entre ellos cientos de concejales de Junts en municipios del área metropolitana de Barcelona y de los cinco senadores que tiene Junts actualmente, que dejaron el partido este fin de semana. Muchos de estos cargos ya habían decidido hace tiempo desvincularse del PDECat y aprovecharon el efecto cascada de las últimas horas para dar el paso.
Con todo, muchos nombres relevantes de la cúpula del nuevo espacio puigdemontista no han dado el paso aún de abandonar su viejo partido -que en el caso de consejeros o exconsejeros como Jordi Turull, Joaquim Forn o Josep Rull integran desde la juventud o la adolescencia-. El rosario de bajas es también doloroso en el ámbito territorial, donde se han dado de baja algunas directivas «enteras», como es el caso de la comarca del Alto Ampurdán (Gerona), donde ha dimitido la cúpula local en bloque. No obstante, desde el PDECat afirman que solo se han dado de baja el 7% de sus asociados. | 2020-08-31T11:26:14 | true |
2025 BMW X3 review | The West Australian | https://thewest.com.au/lifestyle/motoring/2025-bmw-x3-review-c-17997317 | [] | [
"Lifestyle",

] | BMW has just launched three variants of the fourth-generation X3, its best-selling vehicle in Australia.
Longer between the bumpers, wider and shorter to the top of its roof than the car it replaces, this new BMW X3 has been given an overhaul inside and out.
Beyond its completely different exterior design, the fourth-generation X3 can be distinguished from its predecessors by its Iconic Glow illuminated double kidney grille. This is a standard feature across the entire range in Australia.
Inside, there’s now BMW’s Curved Display, which includes a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system. This runs BMW’s Android-based Operating System 9.0.
Deliveries of the new X3 began late last year, with the entry-level 20 xDrive and flagship M50 xDrive variants. These are both now offered with 48V mild-hybrid electrification as standard.
Joining the range now is the 30e xDrive plug-in hybrid (PHEV), bringing the total X3 lineup to three variants. It’s an updated version of the car that was initially launched in Europe last year, as it can now charge its 19.7kWh lithium-ion battery at up to 11kW (the pre-update was 7.4kW).
We got the opportunity to sample all three versions of the fourth-generation BMW X3 at a media launch drive, leaving from Melbourne down the Mornington Peninsula. Read on to find out more.
Pricing for the entry-level X3 20 xDrive and flagship X3 M50 xDrive went up $1500 and $2000, respectively, when the X3 30e xDrive PHEV was added to the range in November last year.

Like many crossover SUVs, it’s easy to get into the X3’s cabin. You can see why many people with poor mobility like these types of cars because you don’t need to climb up or down into the cabin, and can instead step across.
Once you’re in, the driver’s seat is fantastically comfortable. There’s so much electric adjustment available, including under-thigh support, an extendable seat cushion, and lumbar support, among others. This means people of all different sizes and statures will be able to find their desired seating position.
There is also a range of different upholstery choices available, including Veganza leatherette options, Alcantara and Veganza combination, and Merino leather options. The latter is a $4000 optional extra. Ouch…
My favourite is the BMW Individual Merino leather in Amber/Atlas Grey, which is a vibrant light brown that almost verges on orange, mixed with grey accents. There’s also an Espresso Brown Veganza option that’s a close second. They look properly cool and are great alternatives to boring black.
Ahead of the driver is a chunky, flat-bottomed M Sport steering wheel that verges on being almost too thick. This is common to BMW steering wheels.
The wheel design looks and feels sporty, plus the red 12 o’clock marker on the flagship M50 xDrive is a special touch.
I appreciate having physical buttons and scroll wheels on the wheel, but given they’re on panels finished in glossy piano black, they look grotty quickly. This is disappointing for a premium vehicle because you frequently interact with the steering wheel buttons.
Behind the steering wheel is the centrepiece of the new X3’s interior – a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system melded together into one curved display. It runs BMW’s iDrive 9.0 operating system, which is Android-based.
There’s also a head-up display on top of the dashboard that’s big and has plenty of configuration. While it is great to have critical information, like your current speed, available at a glance, it can sometimes get a little distracting with all the other elements. Thankfully, you can opt for a minimal layout if this suits you more.
Going back to the digital instrument cluster, it looks fantastically clear and bright. It can also be customised in many different ways, ranging from layouts to widgets.
Moving across, the 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system is properly huge. It’s a fair reach from the driver’s seat to interact with the far left-hand side of the screen, and sometimes I needed to lean out of my seat to use it.
Thankfully, there’s a rotary iDrive controller on the centre console, which allows for an additional way to interact with the touchscreen. It’s the first time BMW iDrive 9.0 operating system has been paired with an iDrive controller.
It’s fairly easy to navigate around the infotainment system’s native user interface after you’ve had a poke and prod around the menus. It can be a little overwhelming at first, however, especially if you’re not tech savvy.
You do need to use the screen a lot for key functions, which is most frustrating in the X3 30e xDrive, as the PHEV-related functions are buried in a sub-menu within the Vehicle Settings menu.
Another frustrating part is that there is no easy button to adjust the distance setting with the adaptive cruise control on the steering wheel, which is where it is on virtually every rival. Sure, there’s a shortcut button that takes you to the Vehicle Settings menu, but you still need to tap on the screen at least twice to change the setting.
There are a couple of other shortcut buttons either under the touchscreen or around the iDrive controller that take you to key sub-menus in the infotainment system, but this is nowhere near as functional as a button. It seems that minimalism has taken a step too far, as it impedes functionality.
As standard, there are wired and wireless forms of both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. With my iPhone 15 Pro Max connected wirelessly to many X3s during the launch program, I didn’t experience any dropouts whatsoever.
There’s also a wireless charger at the front of the centre console, which is ventilated, and allowed my phone battery to charge up while using smartphone mirroring. This isn’t always the case with non-ventilated wireless chargers, and they typically make my phone overheat and not charge.
There’s only one wireless charger, though, so if you need more charging points, there are a wealth of USB-C outlets scattered around the cabin.
Looking around the cabin, it does look special and extremely high-tech, though it is let down by the odd hard plastic finish in areas you wouldn’t expect, such as the upper door card and dashboard. This is surprising given that this car is a premium offering that costs over six figures drive-away, even in entry-level guise.
That said you can opt for a knitted textile finish on the dashboard and door cards, which looks and feels very similar to what’s offered in current Mini vehicles. It’s a good option if you want to disguise some of the harder finishes, though you need to pay an extra $1200 for the privilege.
The knit has a subtle blue tinge which won’t pair with every single upholstery option, and it also has a coarse texture which mightn’t be to everyone’s tastes.
Another flashy element of the X3’s interior is the ambient lighting setup. It spans across the dashboard, and also encompasses certain sections of the front door cards and centre console. When you change drive modes the panels change colour, but you’re also able to manually select different colours and combinations. It’s a nifty feature that’s cool to show off to your passengers.
Something that does grate, however, is the air vent setup, which is similar to ones in the current 5 Series and i5. Rather than being able to change the air vent direction using an adjuster on the vent itself, there are disconnected little knobs instead. There are also touch-sensitive sliders to control the air vent flow. It’s not the most intuitive setup and it can sometimes be a little fiddly. What is wrong with physical air vent controllers?
If the ambient lighting doesn’t provide enough light, there’s a panoramic glass sunroof available as an option on the base 20 xDrive and standard across the rest of the range. It does flood the cabin with a lot more light, but unfortunately, it’s a fixed glass panel and doesn’t have a tilt and slide portion like a regular sunroof.
In terms of storage up front, it’s adequate. There are two cupholders, a centre console box with a decent amount of space, as well as a small glove box that can only really fit the owner’s manuals.
Moving to the second row, there’s an obvious step down in terms of wow factor. It’s an okay space to spend time, but if you want to get the full effect of the curved display and ambient lighting, it’s best to sit up front.
At a leggy 182cm, I had an okay but not amazing amount of space behind my own driving position. There are plenty of other mid-sized SUVs with more second-row space, but in the premium price bracket it’s on par with the competition.
Two adults would be able to fit in the second row with ease and be comfortable, though pushing it to three would make things squishy. The person in the middle seat would have to contend with a sizeable driveline hump, which is disappointing but also uncommon.
Second-row amenities are fewer and far between when compared to the first row, but include a touchscreen on the back of the centre console for controlling the climate control, air vents, USB-C ports, and a fold-down armrest with cupholders. It’s pretty standard in terms of standard fit.
Around the back, there’s a power tailgate that opens swiftly and quietly, as it should. The boot space on offer depends on which trim level you opt for, but across the board, it’s generous.
Unfortunately, there is no X3 variant with a proper spare wheel or even a space-saver spare wheel. Instead, some have run-flat tyres and others have a tyre-inflator kit that lives under the boot floor.

The first X3 I hopped into was the flagship M50 xDrive, so it already felt like I was starting with dessert. Better yet, it was finished in Tanzanite Blue metallic paint and the optional Amber/Atlas Grey Merino leather. Yum, yum, and yum.
As soon as you press the start button on the centre console, you get an awesome inline-six petrol engine rev flare that can be heard both inside and outside of the car. It doesn’t seem like there is much artificial engine noise here.
It’s immediately noticeable how effortless the car is to drive. The inline-six engine has so much power and torque to lean on that it feels so unlaboured in everyday traffic. It’ll flick through the gears super quickly to keep the revs low and minimise fuel consumption.
Speaking of fuel consumption, the X3 M50 xDrive, as well as the 20 xDrive, have a 48V mild-hybrid system. It’s a fantastic system that allows the small electric motor to take some of the load off the petrol engine.
It also allows for more seamless engine idle stop-start, and also allows the engine to switch off when coasting. In fact, you can barely even tell when the engine switches off and on, which is rare, even for mild-hybrids.
As a driving package, the X3 M50 xDrive is an absolute performance weapon. The mild-hybrid inline-six engine as a package is a charismatic powerhouse that just pulls and pulls. Given it’s paired with an all-wheel drive system, if you partake in the traffic light grand prix, this is for you.
When you get higher in the rev range, the engine sound is phenomenal and so addictive. I found myself holding down the left paddle shifter often so the car would enter ‘Boost’ mode. When you activate this, the car not only enters its sportiest mode, but the gear shifts get a shuntier, almost whiplash feel.
While this car may be a weapon in a straight line, it’s also so dynamic and characterful in the bends. Its steering is so direct, if a little firm, and it rides superbly even though it comes standard with 21-inch alloy wheels. One of the few downsides of this, however, is there’s a fair bit of road and tyre noise.
There’s also so much grip available once again, thanks to the all-wheel drive system and the rear locking differential. The speed with which you can carry through tight turns is breathtaking. There’s no scurrying for traction here.
Hopping out of the X3 M50 xDrive, next was the entry-level X3 20 xDrive, which felt like a completely different kettle of fish.
What stood out to me immediately is how quiet and refined the 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine is, even when pushed a little harder. You can barely hear the engine working away.
If you activate ‘Boost’ mode in this car, however, the engine certainly makes its presence known. The noise it makes isn’t the most pleasing or satisfying, which is a stark contrast to the inline-six in the M50 xDrive. I actually felt bad for the poor 20 xDrive on a few occasions as you can tell it much prefers docile throttle inputs.
Despite this, the four-cylinder petrol still has enough power. You likely don’t need any more in everyday driving.
The X3 20 xDrive still feels nimble and agile to drive. In fact, compared to the M50 xDrive, it still feels lighter at the front end, which is fun to play around with in the twisties.
The steering feels lighter, and the adaptive suspension isn’t so harsh over singular bumps. This is largely thanks to the smaller alloy wheels.
The last X3 variant I got to sample at the launch event was the 30e xDrive PHEV, which is a new addition to the range. Out of the three variants, it felt like the ugly duckling, but this could also be put down to how I experienced it.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get to drive the car with much battery charge left, so it largely defaulted to hybrid mode. There were moments where the car would go into EV mode, however, and it would be so quiet. This typically happened at low speeds, or when travelling down hills.
If you do have a full battery charge, BMW claims the X3 30e xDrive will travel up to 91km on electric power alone, according to ADR testing, which is based on lenient NEDC protocols. According to BMW execs, however, a real-world figure is closer to 80km, though we’re yet to verify this.
You can’t feel the petrol engine switch on in this car, but you can hear it. Compared to the 20 xDrive, which has the same base petrol engine, it sounds and feels like it has to work hard at points. This is especially prevalent if you’re accelerating up hills with a minimal battery charge.
Despite this, the 30e xDrive certainly isn’t slow. If you push the accelerator hard, the electric motor helps aid progress. There’s also a ‘Boost’ mode like all the other X3s.
Although the X3’s platform is so fun to chuck around in the bends, the extra compenentry and added weight as a result in the 30e xDrive is noticeable. It’s still a fun car to drive, but the mild-hybrids are even more enjoyable from a dynamics standpoint.
Lastly, on the safety front, all the BMW X3 variants are fully loaded, as they should be for this price point.
The adaptive cruise control is fantastic and, honestly, a benchmark. The way it’s able to manage the distance between the car in front is very natural. It also doesn’t drastically overreact when a car cuts in front of you.
It still grates, though, that you need to adjust the adaptive cruise distance settings deep in touchscreen sub-menus.
The car’s lane-keep system isn’t intrusive and only intervenes when it absolutely needs to, and its lane-centring function, which works in conjunction with the adaptive cruise control, is top-notch and reduces driver fatigue on long journeys.
With the latter, there’s also an assisted lane change function, which is a little aggressive for my liking, but it’s also a helpful aid to make boring freeway journeys easier.

BMW certainly has a compelling package on its hands with the fourth-generation X3.
This mid-sized SUV has been the brand’s best-seller for a number of years now, and in order to continue its sales success, the new-generation model needs to be good. Thankfully, BMW has fulfilled this brief.
Although the M Sport package is now standard across the X3 range, all three variants offer a distinct character. The 20 xDrive is quiet, refined, and likely all the car that you’d ever need. Then there’s the 30e xDrive PHEV, which offers up to 91km of claimed EV range if you’re eco-conscious and have the capacity and means to charge its battery up.
Lastly, there’s the M50 xDrive, which is an outright performance beast. I love that BMW has stuck with an inline-six petrol engine in this car because it has so much character. It feels so effortless to drive in everyday traffic, yet also so capable out in the twisties, which is such a fun duality to play with.
The common denominator across the X3 range is stellar driving dynamics. BMW knows how to engineer a platform that is engaging and fun to drive, and the new-generation model continues this sentiment.
Inside, it’s a showstopper, yet not as overtly intuitive as the model it replaces. BMW’s Curved Display is far from brand new now, but it still feels high-end and technologically advanced. Plus, the interior ambient lighting treatment is stunning and not as chintzy as some other luxury car brands’ attempts.
It’s not perfect, though, as a lot of features are now buried in the infotainment system’s menu structure. In this regard, I miss how many physical buttons there were in the previous-generation X3, as they were all so intuitive. Bring back the physical climate control cluster, at least. Please!
Plus, there are a surprising number of harder finishes if you look beyond the flashy screen and lights. Sure, you can cover a lot of them up with a Mini-esque knitted textile finish on the dashboard, but this is a $1200 optional extra across the range, and it doesn’t pair perfectly with all the upholstery options.
Last of all is the pricing. Compared to the Mercedes-Benz GLC, which is arguably its biggest rival, it’s similarly priced. With others like the Audi Q5, Genesis GV70, Lexus NX, and Volvo XC60, however, the X3’s pricing isn’t quite as sharp. There are also desirable option packages offered down lower in the range that inflate the asking price further.

El presidente catalán, Quim Torra , ha insinuado este lunes la posibilidad de desobedecer su eventual inhabilitación , que podría confirmarse en el Supremo la tercera semana de septiembre como resultado de la polémica por las pancartas partidistas colgadas del Palau de la Generalitat durante los últimos periodos electorales. «De la Justicia española no espero nada», ha señalado antes de jactarse de haber desobedecido ya «dos veces» decisiones judiciales. «No creo que sea la última que lo haga», ha aseverado.
«No le digo que desobedezca una sentencia, le explico que todo lo que me perece incompatible con mi conciencia y sobre todo con la defensa a ultranza de los derechos fundamentales sencillamente en mi condición de presidente es mi deber oponerme», ha resaltado en una entrevista en TV3.
Aunque Torra ha evitado dar más detalles sobre su plan para cuando sea inhabilitado ha lanzado una advertencia a ERC y Junts : no se entendería que algún partido independentista presentara «otro candidato» para ocupar su puesto en caso de ser inhabilitado. Preguntado por si es necesario agotar la legislatura en Cataluña, Torra ha contestado que no necesariamente y ha defendido que se hará «lo que sea mejor para el país», aunque se ha negado a decir la fecha de las elecciones que tiene en mente.
Estado de alarma en Cataluña
Por otra parte, y refiriéndose ya a la pandemia , el presidente catalán ha avanzado que no descarta pedir al presidente del Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez, la aplicación de un estado de alarma en Cataluña, así como solicitar la ayuda del Ejército si es necesario para hacer frente a la pandemia del coronavirus. «Podríamos llegar a necesitarlo, por tanto, no descarto nada. Tampoco pedir la ayuda de personal del Ejército si nos hace falta. Ahora la prioridad es la salud y la vida de las personas», ha afirmado. | 2020-08-31T07:46:46 | true |

] | Australian winter Olympian Belle Brockhoff is in “good spirits” after being airlifted to hospital in Greece with a serious back injury following a high speed crash during a race at the Snowboard Cross World Cup in Georgia.
Brockhoff, a triple winter Olympian, was first flown to a hospital in Tbilisi, the Georgian capital before being evacuated to Greece where she required surgery after suffering a fracture of the L1 vertebrae in the crash.
The 32-year-old Victorian, who had only just returned to competition after recovering from a broken wrist, landed on her coccyx and suffered no neurological damage, the accident coming less than a year out from the next Winter Olympics in Italy.
A member of the Olympic Winter Institute of Australia medical team is accompanying and supporting Brockhoff with her partner also flying to Greece to be with her.
“Currently our medical team are working with the medical emergency service personnel and the hospital in Greece to ensure that Belle receives the best care possible,” Olympic Winter Institute of Australia CEO Geoff Lipshut said.
“We will reassess options together with Belle following surgery over the next 48 hours.
“Belle is in good spirits, and I am very pleased that her partner has been able to fly to Greece to support her during this time,” he said.
Following the surgery it is expected Brockhoff remain in Athens to rehabilitate for up to two weeks before returning to Australia to continue preparations for the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics. | 2025-03-10T22:29:46 | true |

Die Anwälte sehen aufgrund der Ausführungen mehrerer Gutachter keinen dringenden Tatverdacht auf ein vorsätzliches Tötungsdelikt an einem 79-jährigen Patienten durch den Arzt. Gleichzeitig muss das Gericht derzeit über einen Befangenheitsantrag entscheiden. Den haben ebenfalls die Verteidiger des Arztes gegen drei Gutachter gestellt. Sie waren beauftragt, die Todesursache des 79-jährigen Patienten festzustellen.

Sachverständige der Verteidigung kommen zu anderer Todesursache
Nach Ansicht der Anwälte gab es bei der Gutachtenerstellung ein "unprofessionelles und einseitiges Vorgehen". Sie kritisieren unter anderem, dass nicht alle relevanten Unterlagen berücksichtigt wurden. Die Verteidigung ließ ein Gegengutachten erstellen. Dabei kommen die beiden Sachverständigen zu dem Schluss, dass der Patient nicht wegen einer Morphingabe zu Tode kam, wie es die drei Gutachter im rechtsmedizinischen Befund annehmen. Vielmehr gehen sie von einer Lungenembolie als Ursache aus, verursacht durch eine Thrombose aufgrund des wochenlangen Liegens des Patienten auf der Intensivstation.
Leiche wurde nie obduziert
Eine Obduktion der Leiche oder eine toxikologische Untersuchung hatte es nicht gegeben. Bei dem Prozess geht es unter anderem um die Frage, ob die Voraussetzungen für die Umstellung auf eine palliative Behandlung beim Patienten gegeben waren, beziehungsweise, ob das konkrete Einverständnis des Vorsorgebevollmächtigten dafür vorlag. Daneben stellt sich die Frage, ob eine Morphingabe gerechtfertigt war – und wenn ja, in welcher Höhe. Der Patient hatte schon zuvor starke Schmerzmittel bekommen.
Ein graphologisches Gutachten ergab, dass sich die Schrift der Eintragung einer höheren Dosis Morphin in den Patientenunterlagen von der Schrift der Eintragung einer niedrigeren Dosis durch den angeklagten Arzt unterscheidet. Die Verteidigung stellte daraufhin Strafanzeige gegen eine Pflegekraft der Klinik wegen Urkundenfälschung, falscher Verdächtigung und versuchten oder vollendeten Totschlags.
Gericht muss über Anträge beraten
Die Staatsanwaltschaft Regensburg wirft dem Mediziner in ihrer Anklageschrift vor, den 79-jährigen Patienten im Juli 2022 durch eine Überdosis Morphin ermordet zu haben. Sie sieht laut Anklage die Merkmale der Heimtücke und niedrigen Beweggründe erfüllt. Das Gericht muss nun über die Anträge der Verteidigung beraten und den nächsten Verhandlungstermin festsetzen. | 2025-04-01T13:25:17.045000 | true |

Nach Klebe-Protest für bessere Klimapolitik: Nürnberger Pater Jörg Alt geht ins Gefängnis | Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR) | https://www.br.de/nachrichten/bayern/nach-klebe-protest-fuer-bessere-klimapolitik-nuernberger-pater-joerg-alt-geht-ins-gefaengnis,Uh6Mbhv | [

] | Es soll nicht nur um ihn gehen, sagt Jörg Alt. Und auch nicht darum, wie es ihm im Gefängnis geht. Dem Nürnberger Jesuitenpater ist es wichtig, die Hintergründe für sein Handeln in den Vordergrund zu stellen. Er protestiert für eine bessere Klimapolitik. "Wenn der Klimawandel kommt, ist es zu spät", sagt er. Deshalb hat er sich aus Protest auf die Straße geklebt. Deshalb geht er jetzt für 25 Tage ins Gefängnis. Am Dienstag tritt er um fünf vor zwölf seine Ersatzfreiheitsstrafe in der Justizvollzugsanstalt Nürnberg an. Die symbolische Uhrzeit ist ihm wichtig.
Pater Alt: Das Weltklima droht zu kippen
Jörg Alt beruft sich bei seinem Handeln auf die Wissenschaft. Zum Beispiel auf Aussagen von Prof. Wolfgang Lucht, der beruflich als Leiter der Erdsystemanalyse beim Potsdamer Institut für Klimafolgenforschung tätig ist. Wenn Kipppunkte erreicht werden, wenn das Grönlandeis schmilzt, wenn der Regenwald austrocknet, dann gibt es aus dessen Sicht kein Zurück mehr. Deshalb müsse schnell gehandelt werden. Aus Sicht der Wissenschaft lasse sich ein Notstand herleiten.
Doch Alt kann nicht feststellen, dass die aktuelle Klimapolitik auf diesen Notstand reagiert. Eher das Gegenteil. "Verkehrsminister Wissing weigerte sich im Juli 2022, die betreffenden Bestimmungen des Klimagesetzes im Verkehrsbereich zu erfüllen", sagt Alt. Deshalb klebte er sich am 16. August 2022 am Nürnberger Hauptbahnhof aus Protest auf die Straße. Es hätte seit Jahrzehnten Demonstrationen und Petitionen gegeben, ohne dass etwas geschehen sei.
Jesuitenpater beruft sich auf "rechtfertigenden Notstand"
Um Politik und Gesellschaft wachzurütteln, brauche es deshalb "einen Protest, der nervig ist", sagt Alt. Deshalb hätten er und die Klimaaktivisten mit einem Gesetzesbruch protestiert. "Aber wir beanspruchen, dass wir das Recht auf unserer Seite haben", erläutert Alt. Das habe er auch in allen Gerichtverfahren deutlich gemacht. "Wir glauben, dass es den rechtfertigenden Notstand gibt, der unser Tun entschuldigen kann – nur in Bayern sieht das eben kein einziges Gericht so."
Armutsgelübde steht Strafzahlung im Weg
Der 63-Jährige ist rechtskräftig wegen Nötigung zu einer Freiheitsstrafe verurteilt – 50 Tagessätze zu zehn Euro. Doch für den Ordensmann war es nie eine Frage, dass er die 500 Euro Strafe bezahlen würde. "Ich verstehe mein Armutsgelübde so, dass ich Geld bekomme, das Spenderinnen und Spender meiner Ordensgemeinschaft anvertraut haben. Die wollen bestimmt nicht, dass dieses Geld zum Begleichen von Straftaten verwendet wird", sagt er.
Jörg Alt sammelt Spenden für Unterbringung im Knast
Sechs Menschen hätten ihm angeboten, die Strafe für ihn zu bezahlen. Für Alt kommt das nicht infrage. "Das ist zwar nett, aber die Strafe akzeptiere ich nicht, weil das Urteil inakzeptabel ist", sagt er. "Wir haben immer gesagt, tut das, was wir fordern, macht eine gute Klimapolitik – und wir sind weg von der Straße!" Und wenn das nicht geschehe, dann müsse man ihn eben einsperren.
Spenden sammelt er trotzdem. Denn die Unterbringung im Knast kostet die Steuerzahler 170 Euro pro Tag. Alt will nicht auf deren Kosten im Gefängnis leben. Insgesamt 4.500 Euro will er für die Tagessätze plus Ausstattung an die Gefängnisverwaltung überweisen, wenn er seine Strafe abgesessen hat.
Nächstes Verfahren steht bereits an
Und dann geht es doch noch um Jörg Alt persönlich. Seit seiner Krebserkrankung schlafe er schlecht, erzählt er. Im Gefängnis werde er deshalb wohl kaum schlafen können. "Das ist jetzt einfach so." Und wie geht es weiter? Dazu will er aktuell nichts sagen. "Im Gefängnis habe ich ja Zeit, darüber nachzudenken." Sein nächstes Verfahren hat Jörg Alt übrigens am 6. Mai. | 2025-04-01T13:13:39.148000 | true |

Meghan Markle Netflix series director speaks out about working with Duchess of Sussex on With Love, Meghan | The West Australian | https://thewest.com.au/news/royal-family/meghan-markle-netflix-series-director-speaks-out-about-working-with-duchess-of-sussex-on-with-love-meghan-c-17996712 | [] | [

] | The director of Meghan Markle’s new Netflix series has spoken out about working with the Duchess of Sussex, saying the royal is “not a chef” but is “someone who’s constantly hustling”.
Michael Steed, director of With Love, Meghan, said: “Meghan as a person is totally LA, California, through and through.”
“Everyone has their own version of her, but she’s just someone who’s constantly hustling and working,” Steed told People.
Steed described his time with the royal as “chill” and “fun”, saying everyone on the production from Meghan to the crew was “pro all the way through”.
“Her relationship with the crew became really tight fairly quickly. She has an understanding of what it means to be on set and she connected with the crew more than anyone,” he said.
“Her cooking is pretty spot-on. She’s not a chef, and it’s definitely not meant to make it seem like she is, but there’s just a love of cooking that is palpable.
“I know it sounds corny, but I really think the core of Meghan’s being is her generosity.
“She wants to do the extra thing, and I think that’s something everyone should take to heart.”
The comments come after multiple claims over recent years accusing the royal of being difficult to work with.
Former staff, many speaking anonymously, have detailed the challenges of keeping the royal a happy boss, something current staff have disputed.
A week before With Love, Meghan was released, the duchess released a behind-the-scenes video of the production, thanking everyone who “helped make this happen”.
On Friday, Netflix announced that a second season of the show has already been shot.
Meghan has said the show, which includes her chatting with celebrity pals, is not about a quest for perfection but more about finding joy in the little things.
Netflix said the second season would air this fall.
“With Love, Meghan” was supposed to premiere in January, but the duchess delayed the release due to the devastating wildfires in and around Los Angeles.
Meghan announced last month that she was rebranding her fledgling lifestyles company to As Ever, after initially calling it American Riviera.
She was born and raised in Los Angeles and now lives in Montecito, California, with Harry, the Duke of Sussex, and their two children. | 2025-03-10T22:14:10 | true |

Wer Pech hat, landet in El Salvador in einem besonderen Gefängnis – und muss dann auch noch den Besuch Trumps Heimatschutzministerin ertragen. | US-Präsident Trump geht hart gegen Immigranten vor, denen seine Regierung vorwirft, illegal im Land zu sein. Wer Pech hat, landet in El Salvador in einem besonderen Gefängnis – und muss dann auch noch den Besuch Trumps Heimatschutzministerin ertragen.
Auch er war übernacht in diesem Monsterknast in El Salvador verschwunden, wie in einem schwarzen Loch. Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, geboren in dem mittelamerikanischen Land, aber längst wohnhaft in Maryland, USA. Beamte der Einwanderungsbehörde nahmen den Metallarbeiter am 12. März aus seinem Auto heraus auf der Straße fest. Sein Aufenthaltsstatus habe sich geändert, informierte das Heimatschutzministerium seine Frau Jennifer Vasquez Sura am Telefon.
Sie hatte zehn Minuten Zeit, den fünf Jahre alten Sohn abzuholen, der mit im Fahrzeug saß. Das Kind leidet unter Autismus und hängt an seinem Vater. „Innerhalb eines Augenblicks haben unsere drei Kinder ihren Vater und ich die Liebe meines Lebens verloren“, sagte Jennifer Vasquez Sura kürzlich bei einer Pressekonferenz. Am 15. März wurde ihr Mann nach San Salvador geflogen, obwohl ein US-Gericht schon 2019 entschieden hatte, dass er nicht dorthin ausgewiesen werden dürfe. Er war damals zu Unrecht beschuldigt worden, Mitglied der Bande MS-13 zu sein. Gegen ihn liegt nichts vor.
Dennoch wurden Abrego Garcia und mehr als 200 Männer aus Venezuela schwer bewacht in drei Flugzeuge gesetzt. Den Venezolanern werfen die Grenzschützer vor, zur venezolanischen Gang Tren de Aragua zu gehören. Öffentliche Beweise gibt es auch dafür keine, es gab nicht mal Anhörungen. Donald Trump spricht von Staatsfeinden und beruft sich auf den sogenannten Alien Enemies Act für Kriegsgegner aus dem 18. Jahrhundert, dieses Recht war zuletzt in den Weltkriegen angewandt worden.
Damals wurden Japaner, Italiener und Deutsche interniert, nun lassen Trumps Leute Immigranten ohne Papiere als angebliche Schwerverbrecher in einem Drittland einsperren. Nach Klagen von betroffenen Familien ging zwar noch am Tag des Abflugs sofort ein US-Bezirksrichter dazwischen. Er entlarvte das Manöver als klaren Bruch der Verfassung und ordnete eine Umkehr der Maschinen an. Doch Nayib Bukele, der Präsident von El Salvador, postete am Morgen des 16. März ein Video der Ankunft und schrieb spöttisch in einem anderen Post zu dem Thema: „Oopsie, zu spät!“
Das Video zeigt, wie Soldaten die Gefangenen auf dem Rollfeld die Gangways hinab in Panzerwägen und Busse führen, die Köpfe nach unten gedrückt, Arme und Beine an Ketten. Unterwegs werden Bärte und Haare abrasiert, es ist eine Inszenierung von Erniedrigung und Macht. Die Reise endet in weißen Klamotten im berüchtigten Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo in Tecoluca, kurz CECOT.
40 000 Menschen passen in diese Haftanstalt, der Rechtspopulist Bukele hatte sie 2022 bauen lassen. In jeder Zelle sitzen bis zu Hundert Häftlinge, und das jeweils 23,5 Stunden am Tag, das Licht brennt immer. Oft genügt der kleinste Verdacht, um als Terrorist eingekerkert zu werden. Bukele hat die Zahl der Verbrechen in El Salvador zwar ganz erheblich gesenkt, allerdings im Zweifel mit Willkür und üblen Methoden. Trotzdem überweisen die USA mittlerweile Geld, wenn er auch jene wegschließen lässt, die sie ihm schicken.
Trump macht Druck
Der Kollege Trump hatte die Wahl ja unter anderem mit dem Thema Immigration gewonnen, er versprach die größte Abschiebung der amerikanischen Geschichte. Millionen Ausländer leben und arbeiten seit Jahrzehnten in den USA, obwohl ihnen die offizielle Genehmigung fehlt. Andere kamen in den vergangenen Jahren, worauf die Stimmung in der Wählerschaft kippte. Trump macht derzeit Druck, weil die Ausweisungen nicht nach seinen Wünschen vorankommen. Selbst Steuerdaten will er bei der Fahndung verwenden und Sozialversicherungsnummern entziehen lassen.
So herrscht zunehmend ein Klima der Angst, damit möglichst viele unerwünschte Einwanderer freiwillig das Weite suchen. Besonders abschreckend sind nun diese Flüge, erst nach Guantanamo, mittlerweile also nach El Salvador, die Gruselbilder machen die Runde. Verdächtig ist offenbar bereits, wer irgendwo mit Tattoos erwischt wird. Der Sender CBS hat ermittelt, dass die Mehrheit der 239 Venezolaner, die Trumps Team in das zentralamerikanische Mega-Gefängnis verfrachten ließ, weder angeklagt noch verurteilt sind.
Da ist zum Beispiel Andry Hernández Romero, 31, homosexuell, Visagist, Theaterfreund - und tätowiert, aber offenkundig alles andere als ein Verbrecher. Seine Mutter erkannte ihn nur zufällig in diesem Video von El Salvadors Präsident Bukele. Oder eben Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, 38, der aus El Salvador in die USA gekommen war und nun in den gefürchteten Kerker seiner alten Heimat gezwungen wurde. Dass ein Richter die ganze Aktion verboten hatte, war Trumps Riege egal. Ein Regierungsanwalt gab sogar zu, dass es sich im Fall Abrego Garcia um einen „adminstrative error“ gehandelt habe. Einen Verwaltungsfehler.
Die Zuständigen taten so, als sei da halt leider nichts mehr zu machen. Too late, wie Bukele sagen würde. Eine Richterin verfügte dann am Freitag, dass Abrego Garcia bis zum vergangenen Montagabend um 23:59 Uhr wieder in die USA gebracht werden müsse. Sie nannte seine Entführung „völlig gesetzlos“ und einen „schweren Fehler“. Das US-Justizministerium rief ein Berufungsgericht an, das bestätigte die Deadline. Der Oberste Gerichtshof hob sie danach fürs Erste auf, um sich die Sache genauer anzusehen, und lässt auch den Einsatz dieses Kriegsrechts namens Alien Enemies Act von 1798 zu.
Unterdessen hat Heimatschutzministerin Kristi Noem das Gefängnis CECOT in El Salvador besucht, um noch mehr Ausweisungen dieser Art anzukündigen. Kahl geschorene Insassen, 14 000 sollen es gegenwärtig sein, saßen und standen derweil hinter Gittern - in erster Reihe mit nacktem Oberkörper und Tattoos, wie ausgestellt. MS war da natürlich zu lesen, das Kürzel der kriminellen Mara Salvatrucha. Die Besucherin Noem, die sich im Amt auch mal mit Maschinenpistole filmen lässt, ging wie in einem Zoo auf und ab.
Diejenigen, die da inhaftiert seien, sollten hier bleiben, „und zwar für den Rest ihres Lebens“, sagte sie. „Wenn Sie illegal in unser Land kommen, ist dies eine der Konsequenzen, die Sie erwarten können.“ Irgendwo muss da auch Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia gewesen sein, als die US-Ministerin vorbeischaute. An diesem Donnerstagabend schließlich, fast einen Tag nach seiner Verhaftung, sprach der Supreme Court dann doch ein Machtwort: Die US-Regierung solle sich um Abrego Garcias Entlassung kümmern und ihn so behandeln, als ob er nicht unrechtmäßig nach El Salvador geschickt worden wäre. | 2025-04-11T00:45:26.914000 | true |

] | Anna Maria Abernathy war vier Jahre alt, als sie mit ihren Eltern vor den Nazis fliehen musste. Mit 95 ist sie nun nach München zurückgekehrt, auch um ihrer ermordeten Großmutter zu gedenken. Direkt gegenüber der Bayerischen Staatskanzlei, dort wo einst das Wohnhaus ihrer Großmutter Minna Hirschberg stand, hat Abernathy am Montag ein sogenanntes Erinnerungszeichen angebracht: Eine Metallstele mit Namen und Bild ihrer geliebten Oma. "Wir haben viel gemeinsam unternommen", erzählt Anna Maria Abernathy. "Sie war so warmherzig und liebevoll – eine perfekte Großmutter."
Doch während Abernathy und ihrer Familie die Flucht über Italien in die USA gelang, blieb Minna Hirschberg in München zurück und wurde von den Nazis schließlich ins KZ Theresienstadt bei Prag deportiert und dort ermordet.
Die deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft zurückgeholt
Auch Jorge Feuchtwanger ist nach München gekommen, um seine Vorfahren zu ehren. Er ist mit Lion Feuchtwanger verwandt, dem weltberühmten Münchner Schriftsteller und Autor von Bestsellern wie "Erfolg" oder "Die Jüdin von Toledo". Jorges Großvater Franz war hochrangiger Funktionär der Kommunistischen Partei KPD und musste deshalb schon früh vor den Nazis fliehen. Als er auch in der KPD in Ungnade fiel, rettete sich Franz Feuchtwanger nach Mexiko, wo er ein bedeutender Kunstsammler wurde.
Sein Enkel Jorge ist in Mexiko City geboren, spricht aber hervorragend deutsch und hat vor einem Jahr die deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft erhalten. "Ich habe sie mir wiedergeholt", betont Jorge Feuchtwanger. "Das wollten uns die Nazis wegnehmen. Und wenn ich sie zurückhabe, heißt das, dass sie nicht gewonnen haben."
Feuchtwanger, Hirschberg, Bernheimer – traditionsreiche Münchner Familien
Jüdische Familien wie die Feuchtwangers, die Hirschbergs oder Bernheimers prägten einst München und Bayern. Heute leben ihre Nachkommen in den USA, Argentinien, Australien oder Israel. Dass einige von ihnen 80 Jahre nach dem Ende des Naziterrors die Heimat ihrer Vorfahren besuchen, ist Matthias Weniger zu verdanken. Der Kunsthistoriker arbeitet im Bayerischen Nationalmuseum als Provenienzforscher, das heißt, er versucht herauszufinden, woher Kunstwerke ursprünglich stammen.
Dabei stieß er in seinem Museum vor einigen Jahren auf mehr als 300 Silbergegenstände, die von den Nazis aus jüdischem Besitz geraubt wurden. 1939 zwangen die Nazis alle jüdischen Menschen in Deutschland, ihr Silber abzugeben: Besteck, Kerzenhalter, auch rituelle Gegenstände für jüdische Feiertage. Allein in München rafften die Nazis so rund sechs Tonnen Silber zusammen. Das meiste wurde eingeschmolzen, einige wertvolle Gegenstände wurden aber auch verkauft und landeten bei Privatleuten oder staatlichen Institutionen wie dem Nationalmuseum.
Familien finden wieder zusammen
Provenienzforscher Matthias Weniger machte in jahrelanger Detektivarbeit die Nachkommen der ursprünglichen Eigentümer ausfindig und konnte den Großteil der Gegenstände zurückgeben. Und quasi nebenbei gelang ihm dabei die ein oder andere Familienzusammenführung. Erst durch Wenigers Recherchen erfuhren etwa die drei Cousinen Ellen Kandell, Rachel Schwartz und Naomi Karp, die aus der Münchner Familie Bernheimer stammen und heute in den USA leben, dass sie Verwandte in Australien haben. Am vergangenen Sonntag haben sie ihre australischen Cousinen Lynette Sput und Julie Esakoff zum ersten Mal getroffen – in München, der Stadt, aus der ihre gemeinsamen Vorfahren vor mehr als 80 Jahren vertrieben wurden.
Antisemitismus-Skandal im Nationalmuseum
Übrigens mussten die meisten der 75 Gäste aus aller Welt ihre Reise selbst bezahlen, keine staatliche Institution war bereit, die Kosten zu übernehmen. Immerhin wurden sie am Montag bei einer Gedenkveranstaltung im Nationalmuseum von Oberbürgermeister Dieter Reiter und Staatsminister Christian Bernreiter in Empfang genommen. Auch Charlotte Knobloch von der Israelitischen Kultusgemeinde begrüßte die Delegation und übte in ihrer Ansprache Kritik am Nationalmuseum, das erst vor wenigen Tagen im Zentrum eines Antisemitismus-Skandals stand.
Auf das Titelblatt seines aktuellen Programmhefts hatte das Museum einen Ausschnitt aus dem ehemaligen Hochaltar der Abteikirche in Tegernsee drucken lassen. Darauf zu sehen ist der Verrat des Judas Iskariat an Jesus Christus, ein uraltes antisemitisches Stereotyp und Beispiel für christlichen Judenhass. Besonders pikant: Judas hält in seinen Händen den berüchtigten Sack voller Silberlinge, den er für seinen Verrat von den Römern erhalten hat. Dass das Programmheft mit diesem Motiv ausgerechnet zu einem Zeitpunkt erschienen ist, da eine Delegation von Jüdinnen und Juden in München zu Gast ist, die geraubte Silbergegenstände zurückerhalten haben, sorgte deutschlandweit für Aufsehen und Empörung. Auf Druck der Staatsregierung wurde das Programmheft inzwischen eingestampft. Charlotte Knobloch forderte in ihrer Ansprache weitere Konsequenzen. | 2025-04-01T13:59:04.761000 | true |

Duran, Ronaldo fire Al-Nassr into ACL Elite quarters | The West Australian | https://thewest.com.au/sport/soccer/duran-ronaldo-fire-al-nassr-into-acl-elite-quarters-c-17995935 | [] | [

] | Al-Nassr's Jhon Duran has scored twice and Cristiano Ronaldo netted a penalty as the Saudi Pro League side booked a place in the Asian Champions League Elite last eight with a 3-0 win over Iran's Esteghlal.
Al-Nassr's win in Riyadh on Monday came after a 0-0 draw in the first leg in Tehran last week and takes Stefano Pioli's team into the quarter-finals, which will be played in Jeddah as part of a centralised tournament from April 25 to May 3.
Former Aston Villa striker Duran put Al-Nassr in front after nine minutes and the Saudis doubled their lead from the penalty spot, Cristiano Ronaldo stepping up in the 27th minute to convert with typical confidence following Mohammad Niknafs' mistimed challenge on Sadio Mane.
Esteghlal's task was made almost impossible when Mehran Ahmadi was sent off for a second bookable offence late in the first half as he caught Mohammed Al-Fatil in the face with a flailing arm.
Colombian Duran claimed his second goal of the game six minutes from time when he whipped a low strike into the bottom corner having earlier hit the post as Al-Nassr eased through.
"I think we played well," said ex-Liverpool winger Mane.
"We created many chances and we scored three goals. I think we got our reward.
"We pressed well together, we pushed them and they made mistakes and from that we scored three goals. We have a clean sheet and we cannot expect more than this."
Elsewhere, Al-Sadd beat Al-Wasl 3-1 in Doha for a 4-2 aggregate win over the side from the UAE.
Al-Sadd progressed as a result of an 11-minute spell in the first half that saw the Qataris score three times to overturn Fabio Lima's early opener.
Asian Player of the Year Akram Afif unlocked the Al-Wasl defence to haul Al-Sadd level 16 minutes later.
Youcef Atal's strike saw Al-Sadd take the lead on the half-hour and Afif showed his quality with the third in the 37th minute, playing a short free kick to Claudinho and then bending the return into the top corner from 20 metres. | 2025-03-10T21:08:09 | true |

Magpies warm up for Wembley with EPL win at West Ham | The West Australian | https://thewest.com.au/sport/soccer/magpies-warm-up-for-wembley-with-epl-win-at-west-ham-c-17997477 | [] | [

] | Newcastle United have warmed up for the League Cup final by beating West Ham United 1-0 to climb into the Premier League's top six and put life back into their Champions League challenge.
A run of three league defeats in four had left Eddie Howe's side teetering on the brink of falling away in the race for Europe, while there was also valuable momentum at stake before they face Liverpool at Wembley Stadium for the chance to end a 70-year domestic trophy drought.
Bruno Guimaraes got the crucial goal at London Stadium in the 63rd minute on Monday night, displaying clever movement to ghost away from West Ham's defence and turn in Harvey Barnes' cross from close range.
Hammers fans had welcomed back striker Michail Antonio before kick-off, as he was presented on the pitch three months after the car accident that left him needing surgery on a broken leg, and riding a wave of appreciative noise their team ought to have been in front inside the opening minute.
Mohammed Kudus' cross from the left was hugely inviting and arriving at the far post was Tomas Soucek, who got badly underneath his first-time shot and scooped high over the bar.
A promising start gave way to more of the same for West Ham in their disappointing season.
On the one further occasion Kudus was able to run with the ball at his feet, Kieran Trippier blocked his way as he entered the box, then Jarrod Bowen arrived to crash the loose ball straight against his teammate.
As West Ham's threat receded, Newcastle took charge. Barnes, in for the suspended Anthony Gordon, had their first clear opening.
After Trippier had thumped the ball into the box, possibly going for goal, Barnes was first onto it with an attempted dink beyond the advancing goalkeeper Alphonse Areola, who darting from his goal saved well.
With a starting place in the League Cup final up for grabs in Gordon's absence, Barnes was staking a worthy claim. He went closer to giving the Magpies the lead when, following a Trippier corner, Dan Burn reached the ball to flick it into his path, Areola again showing smart reactions to push away the header.
West Ham's goalkeeper produced an outrageous save on the hour mark.
Jacob Murphy's drilled cut-back from the byline should have been less trouble than Maximilian Kilman made of it, the defender's attempted clearance spinning waywardly behind him and appearing destined for the top corner, until Areola's superhuman reach clawed it from under the bar.
It was a temporary reprieve. Moments later, Barnes was given time on the edge of the box to attempt not one but two crosses, the second of them clearing the defence and finding the reaching boot of Guimaraes who manoeuvred goal-side of Ollie Scarles to prod it home. | 2025-03-10T22:32:26 | true |

] | Wenn Andrea Sammarone zu arbeiten beginnt, dann riecht das ein ganzes Viertel. Der Duft von frisch geröstetem Kaffee steigt aus dem kleinen Ladenlokal, das die Familie bereits in dritter Generation im römischen Stadtteil Montesacro betreibt: Die kleine, feine Kaffeerösterei setzt auf "unbehandelten Kaffee, ohne Zusatzstoffe", sagt Sammarone und legt Wert auf den Unterschied zu den großen Herstellern: "Unser Kaffee ist immer frisch. Ich röste alle 10 Tage." Qualität, die ihren Preis hat. In der Rösterei hängt noch die vier Jahre alte Liste: 2,30 Euro für hundert Gramm Arabica-Kaffee. Vorne im Laden sind die neuen Preise angeschlagen: 3,50 Euro für dieselbe Mischung – ob gemahlen oder als Bohnen.

Kaffeepreise im Welthandel gestiegen
Die Energiekosten sind gestiegen, die Löhne auch. Größter Preistreiber aber ist der Weltmarkt für Kaffee. Rohe "Arabica"- oder "Robusta"-Bohnen werden zu ständig neuen Höchstpreisen gehandelt. Der Börsenpreis für Rohkaffee hat seit 2020 um 247 Prozent zugenommen und damit den höchsten Stand seit 1977 erreicht. Ein Grund: der Klimawandel. Wetterextreme in den Anbauländern – wie Dürren oder Überschwemmungen – reduzieren die Ernteerträge. "In ganz Südamerika ändern sich die Temperaturen, und deshalb fällt es immer schwerer, Kaffee anzubauen – im Vergleich zur Menge, die früher produziert wurde", sagt Sammarone. Außerdem habe sich die weltweite Nachfrage seit zehn Jahren deutlich erhöht.
Lange durfte ein Espresso nicht mehr als einen Euro kosten
Auch in der Bar, die direkt an die Kaffeerösterei angeschlossen ist, macht sich der Preisanstieg bemerkbar. "Ich erinnere mich an Zeiten, als der caffè noch 300 Lire kostete", sagt Barista Francesco Bertini. Dann galt lange: Mehr als einen Euro darf eine Tasse Espresso nicht kosten. Diese Schallmauer ist schon lange gefallen. "Seit einem Jahr kostet er 1,20 Euro, und ich denke, dass wir bald bei 1,50 Euro landen werden."
Diese Preise zahlt man bereits im Norden Italiens. Auch hier gibt es (wie in fast allen Lebensbereichen) ein Nord-Süd-Gefälle. In Sizilien oder Kalabrien findet man mit etwas Glück noch Bars, die den Espresso für weniger als einen Euro anbieten. Ganz im Norden, in Bozen, kostet die Tasse Espresso im Schnitt 1,43 Euro.
Italienische Kaffeekultur
Natürlich: Der Espresso an der Bar ist in Italien immer noch konkurrenzlos günstig. Zu günstig, findet auch Barista Bertini, wenn schon ein industriell hergestellter Fruchtsaft drei Euro koste. Einen guten Espresso zu produzieren, sei richtige Handarbeit: die Röstung, die Zubereitung. Unbezahlbar: die Kaffeekultur. Die sieht Bertini durch die Preiserhöhung gefährdet. "Wir könnten viel verlieren, weil unsere Bars eine große Kultur und Tradition haben." In einer Kaffeebar gehe es eben um mehr als nur den Konsum von Kaffee, schwärmt Francesco: "Es geht um zwischenmenschlichen Austausch."
Illy-Chefin bereitet Kunden auf zwei Euro pro Tasse vor
Mehr als sieben Milliarden Euro geben Italienerinnen und Italiener im Jahr für Espresso oder Cappuccino aus. Am liebsten im Stehen an der Bar. "Mein tägliches Ritual", sagt Kunde Marco Castelnuovo. Der Kaffee an der Bar schmecke schließlich ganz anders als der zu Hause. In der Bar Bertini hat der Preisanstieg noch keine gravierenden Auswirkungen auf das Konsumverhalten. Das könnte sich ändern, wenn die Kaffeepreise weiter steigen. Cristina Scocchia, Chefin von Illy, einem großen italienischen Hersteller, bereitet die Kunden bereits auf den nächsten Anstieg vor. Der Preis für eine Tasse caffé werde "in den kommenden Monaten schätzungsweise zwei Euro erreichen, da der Preis für den Rohstoff Rohkaffee von einer hohen Volatilität und einem noch nie dagewesenen Aufwärtstrend betroffen ist". | 2025-04-01T13:52:47.614000 | true |

] | Australia's top-ranked tennis player Alex de Minaur has cruised into the fourth round of the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells.
The world No.10, who is seeded ninth for the ATP 1000 event in the California desert, scored an impressive 6-4 6-0 win over Hubert Hurkacz.
The spoils had been shared at one win apiece in previous meetings, with the Pole taking out their last clash back in 2019 on the red clay in Madrid.
After a first-round bye and straight-sets victory over Belgian veteran David Goffin, De Minaur broke for the first time in the seventh game of the opening set, before taking it with his only set point.
The second stanza was all 'The Demon', breaking the No.21 seed again in the first, third and fifth games to seal the contest in just 74 minutes.
De Minaur, 26, is the only remaining Aussie left in the draw after compatriots Nick Kyrgios, Jordan Thompson, Chris O'Connell, Alexei Popyrin, Alexandar Vukic, Rinky Hijikata, Li Tu and Adam Walton Walton were eliminated earlier in the week.
The nine-time tour winner will next face 25th seed Franciso Cerundolo, after the Argentine beat Dutchman Botic Van De Zandschulp 7-5 6-4.
Elsewhere on Monday, Jack Draper survived an early scare to beat Jenson Brooksby 7-5 6-4 and book his place in the last 16 for the second time in his career.
"Jenson is an unorthodox player, he makes life really difficult," the 23-year-old British No.1 told atptour.com after throwing his racquet during a first-set outburst.
"He doesn't make the rhythm easy. I got off to a slow start, I missed a couple of opportunities early on. But I'm glad of the way I fought and competed.
"Even though it wasn't my best tennis today, I'm really happy with the way I tried my best to stay cool." | 2025-03-10T21:56:18 | true |

] | Noch ist sie Innenministerin: Nancy Faeser. Ob die SPD-Politikerin in der künftigen Regierung ein Ministeramt bekleiden wird? Offen. Klar hingegen: Faeser selbst zieht eine positive Bilanz zur Migrations- und Einwanderungspolitik der zerbrochenen Ampel-Regierung: "Unser Ziel war es, die Zuwanderung von Arbeits- und Fachkräften zu stärken, die irreguläre Migration wirksam zu begrenzen und die Schleusungskriminalität wirksam zu bekämpfen." In allen drei Bereichen sei man stark vorangekommen, so Faeser.
Zum Artikel: "Weniger Asylsuchende: Faeser verteidigt ihre Migrationspolitik"
Ampel-Bilanz: Mehr Fachkräfte, weniger Asylanträge
Bei ihrem womöglich letzten Auftritt als Innenministerin in der Bundespressekonferenz präsentiert sie "Zahlen, Daten, Fakten" zur Asylpolitik – und untermauerte diese mit Grafiken: Im Vergleich zu 2021 ist demnach ein Plus von 77 Prozent bei der Einwanderung ausländischer Fachkräfte zu verzeichnen. Gleichzeitig seien die Asylerstanträge um fast 100.000 auf knapp 230.000 im vergangenen Jahr gesunken.
30 Prozent mehr Abschiebungen als im Vorjahr
Bei den Abschiebungen zeige die Tendenz nach oben: ein Plus von 30 Prozent bei den Rückführungen im Vergleich zum Vorjahr. Seit Oktober 2023 gab es 50.000 Zurückweisungen an den Grenzen durch die eingeführten Kontrollen und 2.000 festgenommene Schleuser: "So verhindern wir, dass Menschen einreisen, die nicht einreisen dürfen und wir legen Kriminellen und Extremisten das Handwerk. Damit handeln wir weiterhin eng abgestimmt mit unseren Nachbarstaaten und vor allen Dingen auch im Einklang mit europäischem Recht", so Faeser.
Sie betont, dass zahlreiche Maßnahmen der Ampel-Regierung dazu beigetragen hätten, irreguläre Migration zu begrenzen – beispielsweise Grenzkontrollen, Leistungskürzungen für Ausreisepflichtige und mehr Polizeibefugnisse. Klar ist für die SPD-Politikerin: Lösungen gebe es nur auf europäischer Ebene – nationale Alleingänge seien ein "Irrweg". Das Gemeinsame Europäische Asylsystem (GEAS), das ab 2026 greifen soll, sei ein "Riesenschritt nach vorne, es ist der Schlüssel", um Migration zu steuern und zu ordnen.
Bilanz Migrationspolitik wirklich so positiv?
Dass die geschäftsführende Innenministerin die eigene Politik lobt, war zu erwarten. Doch fällt die Bilanz wirklich so positiv aus? Kritiker meinen nein, denn: Bei Abschiebungen von Straftätern und Gefährdern nach Afghanistan und Syrien hatte Faeser nach dem ersten Abschiebe-Flug nach Kabul vergangenen Sommer betont: Es werden mehr Flüge folgen. Dieses Ziel hat die Regierung nicht erreicht. Genauso wenig wie die schnelle Umsetzung von GEAS in nationales Recht – entsprechende Gesetzentwürfe sind im Bundestag vor der Wahl liegengeblieben.
Koalitionsgespräche: SPD-Botschaften an CDU/CSU
Dennoch: Mit der Pressekonferenz dürfte Faeser zwei Ziele verfolgt haben. Bald ist die aktuelle Bundesregierung Geschichte. Die noch amtierende Innenministerin hat die Bühne genutzt, um die eigenen Erfolge nach vorne zu stellen. Außerdem laufen derzeit die Koalitionsgespräche zwischen CDU/CSU und SPD. Gerade beim Thema Migration sind sich die Parteien noch nicht einig. Faeser hat den Zeitpunkt genutzt, um die eigenen SPD-Positionen beim Thema in den Vordergrund zu rücken und klare Botschaften an den künftigen Partner CDU/CSU zu senden.
Sie fordert, beim Thema Asyl verbal abzurüsten: Die Herausforderungen in der Migrationspolitik löse man nicht "mit Ankündigungen und markigen Forderungen, sondern nur mit beharrlicher Arbeit". Am sogenannten individuellen Grundrecht auf Asyl in Deutschland will Faeser festhalten. Sie widersprach damit dem ihr untergeordneten Chef des Bundesamtes für Asyl und Migration, Hans-Eckhard Sommer. Der hatte das Asyl-Grundrecht grundsätzlich infrage gestellt. In den laufenden Koalitionsverhandlungen allerdings spielt diese Forderungen keine Rolle, keine der Parteien will derzeit daran rütteln.

Es besteht der Verdacht, dass er die kalabrische Mafia 'Ndrangheta unterstützt hat. Der 46-jährige Polizeihauptmeister arbeitet beim Polizeipräsidium Aalen und gehört zur Landespolizei Baden-Württemberg. Es liegt ein Haftbefehl wegen Geheimnisverrats vor.
Insgesamt sind bei der Razzia in Deutschland und Italien demnach 34 Personen verhaftet (14 in Deutschland) und 40 Anwesen durchsucht worden, so die Ermittler. Zugeschlagen haben die Beamten neben Baden-Württemberg auch in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Rheinland-Pfalz sowie im Saarland.

Lebensmittel in großem Stil gestohlen und verschachert
Die 19 Hauptbeschuldigten in Deutschland sollen sich bei Firmen in Ungarn und Italien als Lebensmittelhändler ausgegeben und große Mengen hochwertiger Lebensmittel im Wert von mehreren hunderttausend Euro bestellt haben. Sie nahmen die Waren in Fellbach (Rems-Murr-Kreis) entgegen, bezahlten sie aber nicht, so der Vorwurf. Im Anschluss hätten sie die Lebensmittel dann lokalen Gastronomen aufgezwungen. Der deutsche Polizist hat die Beschuldigten demnach durch Geheimnisverrat unterstützt.
Den Beschuldigten werden zahlreiche Straftaten vorgeworfen, darunter Bildung und Unterstützung einer kriminellen Vereinigung, Bandenbetrug, verschiedene Gewaltdelikte wie versuchter Totschlag, Erpressungen, Geldwäsche oder Drogenhandel.
Aufbau einer kriminellen Organisation
Die Ermittlungen in dem Fall gehen in das Jahr 2020 zurück, so der Leitende Oberstaatsanwalt Joachim Dittrich von der Staatsanwaltschaft Stuttgart. Bei dem heutigen konzertierten Einsatz in vier Bundesländern und in Italien haben Hunderte Polizeibeamte mitgewirkt, so die Ermittler. Die festgenommenen Personen sollen Verbindungen zur kalabrischen Mafia 'Ndrangheta haben und am Aufbau einer kriminellen Organisation beteiligt gewesen sein, die auch in Deutschland ihre Ableger habe.
Die Mafia-Organisation 'Ndrangheta aus der süditalienischen Region Kalabrien ist eine der großen Verbrecherbanden Italiens mit Beziehungen in die ganze Welt. Sie gilt als gefährlicher als die sizilianische Cosa Nostra oder die Camorra aus Neapel. Den größten Teil ihres Geschäfts macht die 'Ndrangheta mit Rauschgift. Nach Einschätzung von Experten hat sie eine dominante Stellung auf dem europäischen Kokain-Markt. Dabei ist sie auch in Deutschland aktiv.

Soziale Themen im Fokus
Die 1976 geborene und in Marseille ansässige Autorin beleuchte drängende soziale Themen und zeichne einfühlsame Porträts von benachteiligten Gruppen und revoltierenden jungen Menschen, hieß es in der Preisbegründung.

Dotiert ist der Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award in diesem Jahr erneut mit einem satten Preisgeld in Höhe von fünf Millionen schwedischen Kronen – nach heutigem Umrechnungskurs sind das rund 460.000 Euro. Feierlich überreicht wird der Preis dann am 9. Juni im Konzerthaus von Stockholm – an jenem Ort, an dem alljährlich auch der Großteil der Nobelpreise verliehen wird.
Wichtigster Preis für Kinderliteratur

] | Was hat Religion heute eigentlich mit Demokratie zu tun? Kardinal Reinhard Marx sitzt am Montagabend auf der Bühne des Bergson Kunstkraftwerks in München – der rechte Arm noch in einer Schiene, das Sakko rutscht ihm beim Reden von der Schulter. Doch das stört ihn wenig.
Zum Artikel: Wie steht die Kirche zur Politik? Bischöfe beginnen Beratungen
Wenn Marx sich einmischt, dann mit Gesten, mit Leidenschaft, mit klaren Worten. Es war sein erster großer Auftritt nach einer Zwangspause wegen einer Armverletzung – und ein Termin, der gleich tief ins Gesellschaftliche zielt: Was hält uns als Gemeinschaft zusammen? Und welche Rolle kann Religion dabei noch spielen?
Ein Kardinal und ein Soziologe und die Zukunft der Demokratie
Marx ist an diesem Abend nicht allein auf der Bühne. An seiner Seite: Hartmut Rosa, einer der renommiertesten Soziologen des Landes. Ein Katholik und ein bekennender Nicht-Gläubiger, ein Kirchenmann und ein Wissenschaftler, die sich auf Augenhöhe begegneten.
Rund 400 Gäste waren ins Bergson gekommen, um dieser ungewöhnlichen Konstellation zuzuhören. Anlass ist die Vorstellung von Marx’ neuem Buch "Kult". Doch schnell ist klar: Es geht nicht nur um eine Neuerscheinung, sondern um große gesellschaftliche Fragen – und um die Zukunft der Demokratie.
Marx: Kirche als Ort der Begegnung und Gemeinschaft
Für Marx ist klar: Das Christentum muss sich einmischen. Es soll Menschen Halt geben, Orientierung bieten – und Räume für Begegnung schaffen. "Meine Vision ist, dass auch in Zukunft viele lebendige Gemeinden da sind", sagt er. Auch Menschen, die nicht glauben oder aus der Kirche ausgetreten sind, sollen sagen: "Gut, dass es euch gibt als christliche Gemeinde hier in unserem Ort."
So sieht Marx das Christentum als eine wichtige Stimme in der Gesellschaft. Nicht als moralischen Zeigefinger, sondern als Ermutigung, gerade in unsicheren Zeiten. Religion könne ein Ort sein, an dem Menschen sich mit der Welt, mit sich selbst und mit anderen verbinden – und genau das sei zentral für das demokratische Miteinander.
Rosa: Religionen üben ein, was Demokratie braucht
Hartmut Rosa stimmt zu. Auch wenn er selbst nicht an Gott glaubt, beschäftigt ihn die Frage, wie Gesellschaft gelingt. Seine Antwort: durch Resonanz. Das heißt für ihn, Menschen müssten wieder mehr mit anderen und mit der Welt in Beziehung treten. Menschen müssten berührbar bleiben – durch andere, durch Natur, durch Kunst oder eben durch Rituale. Es brauche Erfahrungen, "in denen wir berührt werden von etwas anderem", sagt Rosa. Nicht Kontrolle sei der Schlüssel, sondern Beziehung.
Deshalb sieht auch er in religiösen Praktiken – quer durch Religionen – ein großes Potenzial. Sie üben ein, was Demokratie braucht: das Offenwerden für das Andere. "Sich anrufen und verwandeln zu lassen, ist eine Notwendigkeit für gelingendes demokratisches Miteinander", betont Rosa. Und das gelte nicht nur fürs Christentum – sondern ebenso für das Judentum, den Islam oder den Buddhismus.
"Es kann ja nicht nur am zölibatären Mann liegen"
Dass die Kirchen diese Rolle glaubwürdig erfüllen können, ist für Marx aber keine Selbstverständlichkeit. Es brauche Veränderung – auch in der Liturgie. "Es kann ja nicht nur am zölibatären Mann liegen, ob jemand der Eucharistie vorsteht", sagte er. Vielmehr gehe es darum, zu fragen: Wer kann heute Menschen zusammenbringen, wer kann den Gottesdienst mit Leben füllen?
Kult – das ist für Marx daher nicht einfach nur ein religiöser Begriff. Es ist für ihn ein sozialer. Er beschreibt die Feier, das gemeinsame Tun, das Erleben von Gemeinschaft – als Quelle von Kraft und Orientierung. Und darin trifft er sich mit Rosa: Für beide trägt Kult zum Zusammenhalt einer Gesellschaft bei, zu einem besseren gegenseitigen Verständnis und er sorgt für eine Unterbrechung, für Ruhe in einer immer komplizierter werdenden Welt.
Ohne Beziehung geht Demokratie verloren
Und so steht am Ende des Abends nicht die Frage, ob Religion "noch eine Zukunft hat", sondern was sie zur Zukunft der Demokratie beitragen kann. Marx und Rosa sind sich einig: Ohne Beziehung, ohne Unterbrechung, ohne Resonanz geht sie verloren. Aber mit ihr – und mit Orten, an denen sie eingeübt wird – kann sie wieder lebendig werden. | 2025-04-01T13:15:18.842000 | true |

] | Die zunehmende militärische Bedrohung Europas durch Russland und die wachsenden Zweifel an der Zuverlässigkeit des Nato-Partners USA haben zu einer Neubewertung der Verteidigung geführt. Rüstung gilt inzwischen als Voraussetzung für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung der Wirtschaft. Die Ansicht, die dahintersteckt, lautet: Wer sich nicht verteidigen könne, gefährde seine Zukunft, die somit auch nicht nachhaltig sei. So sieht das nun auch die Vermögensverwaltung Allianz Global Investor (AGI) des Münchener Versicherungskonzerns.
Sogar Atomwaffen neuerdings als nachhaltiges Investment gesehen
Konkret waren bei AGI bislang "militärische Ausrüstung und Dienstleistungen" von den nachhaltigen Produkten ausgeschlossen. Auch Aktivitäten im Zusammenhang mit Atomwaffen sollen jetzt erlaubt sein bei Unternehmen, in die investiert wird. Ausgeschlossen bleiben Länder außerhalb des Atomwaffensperrvertrags, wie zum Beispiel Iran. Atomare Rüstungsprojekte in Frankreich oder Großbritannien wären dagegen finanzierbar. Wer also nachhaltige ESG-Fonds gekauft hat, muss davon ausgehen, dass sich darin demnächst auch Aktien von Rheinmetall oder anderen Rüstungsfirmen finden.
Zum Artikel: "Sparen mit umweltfreundlichen Fonds"
Aber: Nicht alle Fonds will die Allianz-Tochter AGI für diese Aktien öffnen. Wer also künftig Militärgüter von seinen Geldanlagen ausschließen will, muss sich fortlaufend darüber informieren und notfalls den Fonds wechseln. Das wird aber kostenlos kaum möglich sein, weshalb dabei mit weiteren Gebühren wie einem Ausgabeaufschlag zu rechnen ist.
Der Vorwurf des Greenwashings steht schon länger im Raum
Ursprünglich ging es bei den ESG-Kriterien tatsächlich um nachhaltige Investments im engeren Sinne, also um den Bau von Windparks auf Hoher See oder die Dekarbonisierung von bisher fossilen Industrien, zum Beispiel mit grünem Wasserstoff. "ESG" steht für Environmental – also Umwelt – Social – Soziales – und Governance – gemeint ist damit verantwortungsvolle Unternehmensführung.
Der Ansatz wurde aber bald schon wesentlich weiter gefasst, so dass sehr viele konventionelle Industrien ein ESG-Zertifikat bekamen. Der Grund dafür war die stark steigende Nachfrage von Anlegern nach solchen Finanzprodukten, die man mit gutem Gewissen kaufen kann. In Ermangelung von Projekten wurden einfach die Kriterien immer weiter aufgeweicht.
Nachhaltigkeitskriterium "Gute Vorsätze"
Häufig genügte es den Unternehmen, für die Zukunft lediglich Besserung zu geloben, etwa für Energiekonzerne, die immer noch Kohlekraftwerke betreiben. Diese guten Absichten mussten in einem jährlichen Nachhaltigkeitsbericht dokumentiert werden, wie es ihn von vielen börsennotierten Unternehmen gibt. Am Ende dieser Entwicklung blieb das Etikett "ESG" vor allem ein Verkaufsargument für Vermögensverwalter. | 2025-04-01T13:46:46.205000 | true |

British plan to cede Chagos Islands sovereignty prompts concerns over China threat | Voice Of America | https://www.voanews.com/a/8005869.html | [

] | Britain is seeking to finalize a deal on handing sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius after U.S. President Donald Trump said last month that he was “inclined” to support the deal. However, critics say the agreement could threaten the security of a joint U.S.-U.K. military base on the islands amid fears of China’s close ties with Mauritius.
Many of the original inhabitants of the islands who were forcibly expelled to make way for the base on Diego Garcia in the 1960s and 1970s are also critical of the agreement and say their voices have been ignored.
British colony
The Chagos Islands, officially known as the “British Indian Ocean Territory,” are one of the last vestiges of the British Empire. They comprise more than 60 islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean, the largest of which is Diego Garcia. Britain officially took ownership of the archipelago from France after the defeat of French leader and Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte in 1815.
The islands were administered from Mauritius, which argues it was illegally forced to give up the Chagos Islands in return for its own independence from Britain in 1968.
In an advisory opinion in 2019, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague ruled “... the process of decolonization of Mauritius was not lawfully completed when that country acceded to independence.” The judges added that Britain is under an obligation “to bring to an end its administration of the Chagos Archipelago as rapidly as possible.”
Sovereignty negotiations
Negotiations between Britain and Mauritius on ceding sovereignty have been going on for several years. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, a former human rights lawyer, has sought to finalize the agreement since winning power in July last year.
Speaking to British lawmakers last month, Starmer said a deal was vital to secure the future of the U.S. military base.
“This is a military base that is vital for our national security. A number of years ago, the legal certainty of that base was thrown into doubt. … Without legal certainty, the base cannot operate in practical terms as it should. That is bad for our national security and it’s a gift to our adversaries,” Starmer said on Feb. 5.
British media report that Britain will cede sovereignty of the Chagos Islands and pay Mauritius around $116 million a year for 99 years to lease back Diego Garcia and allow the military base to remain, with an option to extend the lease for another 40 years. However, neither Britain nor Mauritius have confirmed any details, and the agreement is yet to be finalized.
Trump approval
During a visit by Starmer to the White House last month, Trump said that he was “inclined” to approve the deal.
“I have a feeling it's going to work out very well. They're talking about a very long-term, powerful lease, a very strong lease, about 140 years actually. That's a long time, and I think we'll be inclined to go along with your country,” Trump told Starmer during the visit on Feb. 27.
The proposed deal also has the backing of India, which has close political and security ties to Mauritius.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is due to travel to Mauritius on Tuesday as chief guest on the country’s national day, the anniversary of its independence from Britain. Modi is expected to discuss upgrading India’s defense ties with the island nation.
China concerns
Politicians in Britain and the United States, however, have expressed concerns over potential security implications of handing sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius amid a growing threat from China in the region.
Robert Jenrick, the shadow justice secretary for Britain’s Conservative opposition party, described the proposed plan as “a strategic disaster for Britain” that represented “an appalling betrayal of the British people.”
Members of Britain’s Shadow Cabinet are responsible for scrutinizing the policies and actions of the government but have no executive power.
U.S. Senator James Risch, a senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in October that the proposed deal “gives in to Chinese lawfare and yields to pressure from unaccountable international institutions like the International Court of Justice at the expense of U.S. and U.K. strategic and military interests.”
“The U.S. and our allies must take a long-term approach when it comes to making decisions that affect our strategic competition with China, or we will all lose,” Risch told Politico.
China’s burgeoning economic relationship with Mauritius makes the African island nation vulnerable to influence from Beijing, noted Evan Fowler of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China.
“Given the complexity of the situation there, actually having a deal that secures the base is good. However, having a deal doesn't mean just accepting any deal. China has significant investments. Mauritius owes China quite a lot. China has quite a clear record of using debt … to seek political advantage.
“That area is strategically important to us because it's a way for us to project power,” Fowler told VOA. “And the Chinese understand this, too. The Chinese have already been active militarily around the Chagos Islands.”
Chagossians ‘voiceless’
After their expulsion, many Chagossians settled in Mauritius. Thousands also came to Britain, with many choosing to settle in the town of Crawley, south of London.
Frankie Bontemps and Maxwell Evenor are second-generation Chagossians whose parents were forced out of their homeland in the 1960s. They are part of the group “Chagossian Voices,” which seeks to assert the rights of the exiled population.
“Once again we are ignored,” Bontemps told VOA. “People are discussing the future of our homeland without us. We feel like history is repeating itself. We feel voiceless, powerless, because we are being abused again — I would say by Mauritius, by the U.K., along with the U.S.”
Many Chagossians argue Mauritius has never had a rightful claim to their homeland — and object to Britain’s proposed deal to cede sovereignty.
“We now find ourselves — our very own identity, our very own self — being given to someone else by a made-up policy without asking us,” Evenor told VOA, adding that there could be no historical link between the Chagos Islands and Mauritius “because it's 2,000 kilometers away.”
“We are still colonized. We are the last colony of Africa,” Evenor said.
Diego Garcia
The exiled Chagossians have been told that under the terms of the deal with Mauritius, they would be able to return to outer islands in the Chagos archipelago — but not to Diego Garcia, which would remain off-limits.
However, infrastructure on the outer islands is almost non-existent, according to Bontemps, who said that most Chagossians would accept living next to the military base on Diego Garcia.
“I think most of us, we don't have anything against that base. We know the geopolitical importance. We know about the China threat, or whoever,” Bontemps told VOA. “We want to live on our ancestors’ land. As well, the base will be a source of work for us.” | 2025-03-10T21:46:09 | true |

Raytracing-Update von Microsoft soll »bahnbrechende Leistungssteigerung« in Spielen bringen | Gamestar | https://www.gamestar.de/artikel/directx-raytracing-dxr-microsoft-1-2-update,3429904.html | [

Mit DXR 1.2 versprechen die Entwickler ordentliche Performancegewinne - den mutmaßlichen Beweis gab es aber nur hinter verschlossenen Türen.
Vom 17. bis zum 21. März 2025 findet die Game Developers Conference 2025 (GDC) in San Francisco, Kalifornien statt. In den vergangenen Tagen waren erneut zahlreiche Spieleentwickler und -größen auf der Veranstaltung unterwegs.
Darunter befindet sich auch Microsoft: Das Redmonder Unternehmen hat die GDC in diesem Jahr für die Vorstellung der nächsten Version von »DirectX Raytracing« (DXR) genutzt.
Bei DXR handelt es sich vereinfacht formuliert um die Microsoft-seitige Implementierung von Raytracing in Echtzeit, die 2018 im Zuge von DirectX 12 das Licht der Welt erblickte.
Seitdem gab es nur ein größeres Update in Form von DirectX Raytracing 1.1, das die Raytracing-Geschwindigkeit erhöhte. Die Anzahl an Strahlen pro Pixel lässt sich ebenso wie die Nachverfolgung und das Shading seither dynamisch festlegen.
Zwei neue Features für DirectX Raytracing
Mit dem zur GDC 2025 angekündigten DXR-Update 1.2 soll nicht weniger als eine »bahnbrechende Leistungssteigerung in Raytracing-Spielen« folgen. Möglich machen dies zwei Hauptfeatures, die die neue DXR-Version mit sich bringt:
DXR 1.2: Erste Vorschau im April
Insbesondere SER ist in diesem Kontext ein alter Bekannter: Nvidia führt die Technologie schon seit Cyberpunk 2077 im Portfolio.
Entsprechend ist es nicht überraschend, dass der Geforce-Hersteller im Zuge der GDC-Vorstellung bereits die Unterstützung von DXR 1.2 zugesagt hat.
Bei AMD, Intel und Qualcomm hat Microsoft zum Zeitpunkt der Artikelveröffentlichung lediglich angekündigt, dass die Unternehmen für die Implementierung von DXR 1.2 miteinander zusammenarbeiten. | 2025-03-21T17:00:00 | true |

] | [] | Una propuesta desenfada y con alma viajera que se nutre en gran medida de la cocina de base cordobesa | Una propuesta desenfada y con alma viajera que se nutre en gran medida de la cocina de base cordobesa
Actualmente, el concepto de gastrobar puede estar muy desgastado y, en cierto modo, causar cierta apatía. En pocas ciudades se ha escapado de esas decoraciones repetitivas, donde predominan las sillas de terciopelo y los ambientes naturistas que parecen sacados de cualquier catálogo de las principales revistas de decoración del país. Además, abundan los intentos de crear cocina fusión con platos sin alma y que terminan quedándose en un quiero y no puedo.
Por suerte, aún quedan lugares en Córdoba que rebosan personalidad , con una cocina interesante y una fusión bien entendida. Uno de estos rincones, ideal para quienes buscan disfrutar y pasar un buen rato, es Cocina 33 . Este pequeño restaurante gastronómico, ubicado al final del Paseo de la Ribera y alejado de la zona más congestionada cerca del puente de Miraflores, nos ofrece una propuesta muy atractiva con una cocina de base cordobesa y alma viajera.
Nada más entrar por la puerta de este irreverente establecimiento, es imposible no dejarse contagiar por el ambiente callejero y urbano que impregna la decoración del restaurante. Numerosos grafitis adornan sus paredes, entrelazándose con un carácter industrial acentuado que contrasta con los tonos de madera.
Al frente de los fogones encontramos a David Carrillo , un consolidado cocinero cordobés con ideas claras sobre lo que quiere ofrecer al cliente : producto fresco y de calidad, con elaboraciones diarias y una carta que varía de manera estacional, adaptándose al ritmo de los productos de temporada. Si bien es cierto, que, aunque su carta es cambiante, hay algunos platos clásicos que son inamovibles, como son su mazamorra caramelizada de camembert y almendra, su crepe de mogote ibérico con salsa de foie y Lotus, o sus estupendos udon Bangkok.
Comenzamos con uno de sus clásicos: las gyozas , en este caso rellenas de langostinos de Sanlúcar, acompañadas de una salsa emblemática de la casa, con coco, curry y cacahuete. Este plato te transporta directamente a Tailandia en un solo bocado, donde la salsa se convierte en la clara protagonista, elevando la gyoza. Sin la salsa, el plato resultaría menos destacable.
Con el calor veraniego de nuestra ciudad, nos apetecía algo fresco, así que optamos por una corvina 'acevichada' con helado de mango. Un plato de clara inspiración peruana que David adapta para el disfrute de paladares menos experimentados en ceviche. De ahí que no tuviera ese “punch” característico de este plato tan distintivo de la gastronomía peruana.
Seguimos con otro plato muy representativo de Cocina 33 que nos transporta de nuevo al lejano oriente, los noodles hot chicken . Suele ser habitual en nuestras visitas, pues es puro rock and roll. Notas picantes, untuosas y cítricas acompañan de principio a fin.
Otro plato fuera de carta que probamos y que nos sorprendió gratamente fue su pani puri de crema de parmesano , sobre mayonesa de anguila, coronado con una vieira ligeramente ahumada y rematado con aceite de albahaca. Sin duda, un bocado muy fresco, divertido y lleno de contrastes, que culmina con un toque aromático y vibrante, aportado por la albahaca.
Como siempre hay hueco para el dulce, no pudimos resistirnos a probar una de las tartas de queso que más pasiones levanta en Córdoba . En este caso, está elaborada con queso camembert y tiene un interior muy cremoso. La encontramos fuera de carta, ya que solo la preparan los fines de semana, y tuvimos suerte de poder probarla, pues suele agotarse rápidamente, ya que muchos clientes la encargan al hacer su reserva. Estupenda.
Cocina 33, con su propuesta consolidada en la Ribera, sigue deleitando a cordobeses y visitantes por igual con una cocina callejera, divertida y sin ataduras. En mi opinión, es un sitio donde se disfruta mucho y donde tienes opción de probar distintos platillos viajeros a precios muy amables. Aunque su bodega es actualmente modesta, se está preparando para una expansión que enriquecerá aún más la experiencia gastronómica, convirtiendo la oferta líquida en un elemento igualmente destacado del restaurante. Estaremos atentos para ver con qué nos sorprenden.

Greek lawmaker attacks paintings he said were offensive to Christians | Voice Of America | https://www.voanews.com/a/greek-lawmaker-attacks-paintings-he-said-were-offensive-to-christians/8005862.html | [

] | A far-right Greek lawmaker attacked four paintings in an exhibition at the country's National Gallery on Monday, the gallery said, after he had described one as offensive because of its distorted depictions of Christ and the Virgin Mary.
The lawmaker, named by the gallery as Nikolaos Papadopoulos, from the ultra-religious Niki party, was temporarily detained, and the gallery said it had had to close for the day due to the incident.
The gallery said that with assistance from another person he had violently taken down four paintings included in the exhibition inspired by Spanish master Francisco de Goya.
"The above violently detached them from the wall and threw them on the floor, which resulted in their damage," the gallery said in a statement.
Papadopoulos' lawyer Constantinos Vathiotis told Reuters that he was illegally detained for five hours. Lawmakers are protected from arrest under the constitution and only parliament can lift their immunity.
The exhibition, "The allure of the bizarre," is by a group of Greek artists, with works corresponding with 80 etchings from Goya's late 18th century Los Caprichos series. It has been on display in Athens since January at the country's main gallery, which is a major draw for Greeks and tourists alike.
In a question to the culture ministry submitted to parliament in January, the lawmaker said that one painting, among the group of four he is accused of damaging, was "clearly offending the Orthodox Christian faith, directly insulting the holy faces of Virgin Mary and Christ, which are depicted distorted."
The culture ministry responded at the time that it "never engages in censorship."
The Hellenic League for Human Rights condemned the lawmaker's action, saying "freedom of art and freedom of expression are protected by the constitution and are not subject to the personal taste and religious and ideological beliefs of self-appointed judges and ultimately punishers." | 2025-03-10T21:06:22 | true |

] | French President Emmanuel Macron denounced Monday what he called "increasingly uninhibited Russian attempts at destabilization" in Moldova as his Moldovan counterpart Maia Sandu visited Paris.
Sandu was sworn in for a second term in December, after Russia was accused of interfering in elections in the former Soviet republic that borders Ukraine.
"We have decided to again reinforce our cooperation to increase Moldova's resilience faced with foreign interference," Macron said as both signed a deal to cooperate on detecting digital disinformation.
Sandu said both countries were "committing to join forces in fighting disinformation. ... Because in today's world, truth is as vital as security."
Sandu accused Russia, which launched its invasion of neighboring Ukraine three years ago, of using the "tools of a modern imperialist."
Macron's office said VIGINUM, the French government agency set up to detect digital disinformation campaigns, would increase its work with the Moldovan Strategic Communication Center, including to "protect electoral processes."
Sandu, the country's first woman elected head of state, owed her reelection in large part to a strong turnout from Moldova's large diaspora.
But rural areas of the country — sandwiched between NATO member Romania and war-torn Ukraine — and separatist Transnistria, where Russian troops are stationed, remain pro-Moscow, as does the autonomous Gagauzia region.
Authorities reported numerous "attempts at destabilizing" the election, including disinformation, vote buying, death threats, cyberattacks and bussing in voters.
The Kremlin accused Moldova of suppressing "the opposition and independent media, especially Russian-language outlets." | 2025-03-10T21:49:28 | true |

Residents evacuated as Guatemalan volcano spews lava, rocks | Voice Of America | https://www.voanews.com/a/residents-evacuated-as-guatemalan-volcano-spews-lava-rocks-/8005895.html | [

] | Guatemalan authorities evacuated around a thousand people on Monday after Central America's most active volcano erupted, spewing lava, ash and rocks.
Residents with traumatic memories of a deadly eruption in 2018 sought refuge after the Fuego volcano exploded spectacularly 35 kilometers (22 miles) from the capital Guatemala City.
"We heard the rumblings and then a strong eruption," Manuel Cobox, 46, told AFP after leaving his home with his wife and three daughters.
Some 125 families, around 900 people, were moved to safety from the community of El Porvenir, said Juan Laureano, a spokesman for Guatemala's disaster coordination agency, Conred.
Residents of another community in Las Lajitas were also evacuated, the official added.
Buses brought evacuees carrying belongings to a town hall turned into a temporary shelter, while others stayed with friends or relatives.
Around 30,000 people were potentially "at risk" and should evacuate themselves if necessary, Conred head Claudinne Ogaldes told a news conference.
Guatemala lies on the Pacific "Ring of Fire" and experiences frequent seismic and volcanic activity.
In 2018, 215 people were killed and a similar number left missing when an eruption of the Fuego volcano sent rivers of lava pouring down its sides, devastating the village of San Miguel Los Lotes.
On that occasion, residents "did not believe the magnitude and a tragedy struck," said Cobox, who works on a pig farm.
Amanda Santos, a 58-year-old housekeeper, said that memories of that previous eruption came flooding back when she heard the firefighters' sirens.
"That's why we're afraid. Many people died," she added. Another eruption in 2023 from the 3,763-meter (12,346-foot) Fuego caused the evacuation of around 1,200 people.
An alert was issued by the authorities on Sunday to coordinate the response and preventive measures, Conred said.
The government suspended local school activities and closed a road through the village that links the south of the country to the colonial city of Antigua, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Guatemala's most popular tourist destination.
Authorities were monitoring pyroclastic flows — fast-moving currents of hot ash, gas and rock fragments that descend the slopes of a volcano, Conred spokesman Laureano said.
The state-run Volcanology Institute recommended that air traffic take precautions due to a spreading ash cloud. It later reported that the volcano's activity had decreased in intensity but cautioned that the eruption had not yet ended. | 2025-03-10T21:47:28 | true |

Rubio in Saudi Arabia for US-Ukraine talks, hopes to resolve Ukraine aid pause | Voice Of America | https://www.voanews.com/a/rubio-in-saudi-arabia-for-us-ukraine-talks-hopes-to-resolve-ukraine-aid-pause/8005899.html | [

] | U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday the United States hopes to resolve the pause in aid to Ukraine during talks Tuesday with Ukrainian officials in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Rubio said the U.S. is in a listening mode and aims to understand what concessions Ukraine might be willing to make.
“The Ukrainians are already receiving all defensive intelligence information as we speak. I think all the notion of the pause in aid broadly is something I hope we can resolve. Obviously, I think what happens tomorrow will be key to that,” Rubio told reporters aboard a military plane before landing in Jeddah.
“We're not going to be sitting in a room drawing lines on a map but just get a general sense of what concessions are in the realm of the possible for them [Ukrainians],” Rubio said, adding that there is no military solution to the war, and that both Russia and Ukraine need to “do difficult things.”
Later on Monday, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, commonly Known by his abbreviation MBS, met with Rubio in the Red Sea port city of Jeddah.
MBS held a separate meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Riyadh earlier in the day.
On Tuesday, Rubio will join U.S. national security adviser Mike Waltz for the Jeddah talks with Ukrainian officials as President Donald Trump pushes to broker a swift end to the war.
The Ukrainian delegation includes Zelenskyy’s chief of staff Andriy Yermak; Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha; Defense Minister Rustem Umerov; and military commander Pavlo Palisa.
“Strong positions on the front line and strong diplomacy must work together to achieve a just and lasting peace,” Zelenskyy wrote in a social media posting late Monday.
Mineral deal?
Trump has voiced interest in making continued military aid conditional on access to Ukraine's raw materials.
More than four dozen minerals, including several types of rare earths, nickel and lithium, are considered critical to the U.S. economy and national defense. Ukraine has large deposits of uranium, lithium and titanium.
But Rubio clarified that securing a deal on Ukraine's mineral resources was not the primary focus of Tuesday’s talks.
“There's still more details to work out, and at this point, we're probably — rather than a memorandum of understanding — just wanting to sign a specific agreement. And that would take a little bit more time," he told reporters.
“I wouldn't prejudge tomorrow by whether or not we have a minerals deal. ... It's an important topic, but it's not the main topic on the agenda,” Rubio added.
Rubio also credited Britain and France for playing a constructive role in talks with Ukraine.
He told VOA that there have been no discussions about China playing a role in postwar peacekeeping and reconstruction in Ukraine.
This marks Rubio’s second visit to Saudi Arabia since taking office. He and other senior U.S. officials held talks with Russian officials in Riyadh on Feb. 18. He is scheduled to travel to Canada on Wednesday for meetings with G7 foreign ministers. | 2025-03-10T21:53:04 | true |

] | U.S. President Donald Trump vowed a new crackdown Monday on pro-Palestinian protesters on American college campuses, saying the detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a demonstration leader at Columbia University in New York, is "the first arrest of many to come."
"We know there are more students at Columbia and other Universities across the Country who have engaged in pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American activity, and the Trump Administration will not tolerate it," the U.S. leader said on his Truth Social platform.
Khalil was arrested by U.S. immigration officials over the weekend. He was one of the most prominent figures during the protest movement that erupted at Columbia and some other campuses a year ago in opposition to Israel's war in Gaza against the U.S.-designated terror group Hamas.
But for the most part, the protests died down and did not resume when the new school year opened last fall.
The Department of Homeland Security said Khalil’s arrest was taken "in support of President Trump's executive orders prohibiting anti-Semitism, and in coordination with the Department of State."
Khalil, listed as a Syrian on his detention papers, earned a master’s degree from Columbia’s school of international affairs last semester. He held a permanent U.S. residency green card at the time of his arrest, according to the Student Workers of Columbia union, and is married to an American citizen who is eight months pregnant.
He has not been charged with any criminal offenses.
Trump wrote in a social media posting, “If you support terrorism, including the slaughtering of innocent men, women, and children, your presence is contrary to our national and foreign policy interests, and you are not welcome here. We expect every one of America’s Colleges and Universities to comply.”
The pro-Palestinian protests a year ago disrupted classes at some U.S. campuses following Hamas’ October 7, 2023, terror attack on southern Israel that killed 1,200 people and led to the capture of about 250 hostages, with about two dozen of them still being held in Gaza by the terror group or its affiliates.
Israel’s counteroffensive in Gaza has killed more than 48,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, according to Gaza health officials. The Israeli military said the death toll includes 17,000 Hamas terrorists.
The campus demonstrations ignited accusations of anti-Semitism. The protests — some of which turned violent with the demonstrators occupying campus buildings and disrupting classes — pitted students protesting Israel's conduct against pro-Israel campaigners, many of whom were Jewish.
Khalil’s lawyer said the agents who arrested him Saturday at his university-owned home near Columbia said they were revoking his green card. He is being held in an immigration detention center in the Southern state of Louisiana.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, a national Muslim civil rights advocacy group, said Monday it is working with Khalil's lawyer and called for his immediate release.
Khalil "is a lawful permanent resident of our nation who has not been charged with or convicted of a single crime," the Washington-based group said in a statement. "The Department of Homeland Security's lawless decision to arrest him solely because of his peaceful anti-genocide activism represents a blatant attack on the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech, immigration laws, and the very humanity of Palestinians."
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a message posted Sunday on X that the administration will be "revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported." Khalil’s arrest is the first publicly known deportation effort linked to the Palestinian protests since the Trump administration took office in January.
At the time of the protests a year ago, Khalil and other student leaders of the Columbia University Apartheid Divest student group rejected claims of antisemitism, saying they were part of a broader anti-war movement that included Jewish students and other groups.
But the divestment group has also expressed support for leaders of both Hamas and Hezbollah, another Islamist organization chiefly in Lebanon that the U.S. has also designated as a terrorist group.
It is unclear when Khalil will have a hearing in an immigration court, which is typically the first step in the deportation process.
Khalil was one of the most visible activists in last year's protests at Columbia, serving as a negotiator for students who erected a tent encampment on campus. Pro-Israel activists in recent weeks have called on the Trump administration to begin deportation proceedings against him.
A new Columbia office that has already brought disciplinary charges against dozens of students for their pro-Palestinian protests has also opened an investigation of Khalil.
The Trump administration last week revoked $400 million in federal funding from Columbia because of what it claimed was the Ivy League school's failure to reign in antisemitism on campus.

UN chief alarmed at sudden spike in violence on Syrian coast | Voice Of America | https://www.voanews.com/a/un-chief-alarmed-at-sudden-spike-in-violence-on-syrian-coast-/8005914.html | [

] | U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed alarm Monday at the sudden escalation of violence in Syria's coastal region, where security forces have clashed since Thursday with fighters loyal to former President Bashar al-Assad, killing hundreds of civilians.
"The bloodshed in Syria must stop immediately, he said, and perpetrators of violations must be held to account," Guterres' spokesperson, Stephane Dujarric, told reporters. "The concerns of Syria's communities must be addressed in a meaningful manner."
Dujarric said the U.N. chief was alarmed by the scope of the violence that included "widespread summary killings, including of entire families, and the loss of one of our colleagues from UNRWA."
The staffer from the agency that assists Palestine refugees was caught in the crossfire last week on his way home from work during clashes between the cities of Homs and Latakia, UNRWA's commissioner-general said.
The fighters are members of the country's Alawite minority, the same religious group the Assad family belongs to. The Syrian authorities said their forces in the sect's coastal region near the port city of Latakia came under a calculated attack from Assad loyalists in an attempted insurrection that has now been put down. Scores of fighters on both sides were also reportedly killed in what was some of the worst fighting since the interim authorities seized power in mid-December.
The head of the caretaker government, Ahmed al-Sharaa, a former member of al-Qaida, announced Sunday there would be an independent investigation into all atrocities carried out against civilians and the security forces.
Earlier Monday, the U.N. Security Council met in a two-hour closed session requested jointly by the United States and Russia.
Diplomats said U.N. Syria envoy Geir Pedersen told them in a video briefing that tensions have been brewing for several weeks between Assad loyalists and the current authorities, erupting in sporadic clashes. But the recent violence, he said, appeared preplanned and coordinated, with fighters reportedly targeting military installations and public facilities such as hospitals.
Pedersen warned council members that the situation was dangerous and that violence could spread. He urged international support for a real political transition to prevent Syria from collapsing again.
Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia told reporters after the meeting that the 15-nation council is discussing issuing a presidential statement on the situation. Council statements require consensus, and Nebenzia said everyone "was pretty unanimous" on the gravity of the situation.
U.N. humanitarian officials said thousands of Syrians have reportedly been displaced in coastal areas, and thousands have crossed into neighboring Lebanon. Six hospitals and several ambulances have been affected in the fighting, and many hospitals in the coastal area are in urgent need of medical supplies.
Syria has been mired in civil war for the past 14 years, after the Assad regime brutally put down peaceful protests during the Arab Spring. Last month, the U.N. Development Program said recovery could take at least a decade and estimated the war had cost the Syrian economy $800 billion in losses since 2011. | 2025-03-10T22:27:43 | true |

Kinhöfer übt scharfe Kritik an Rüdiger und Real Madrid | ZDF | https://www.zdf.de/nachrichten/sport/fussball-real-madrid-ruediger-schiedsrichter-kinhoefer-kritik-100.html | [
"Ingo Konrad"
] | [] | Der ZDF-Schiedsrichter-Experte Thorsten Kinhöfer hat das Verhalten von Antonio Rüdiger im spanischen Pokalfinale am vergangen Wochenende erneut mit scharfen Worten kritisiert.
"Ich habe von Schande gesprochen, weil es für mich eine Schande ist, wenn ein deutscher Nationalspieler solche Worte wählt und dann auch noch ein Eispaket nach dem Schiedsrichter wirft", sagte Kinhöfer in der Champions-League-Sendung des ZDF.
Scharfe Kritik an Real Madrid
Der frühere Bundesliga-Referee wollte aber auch Rüdigers Verein Real Madrid nicht aus der Verantwortung lassen und kritisierte die seit Wochen anhaltenden Attacken des Klubs gegen die Schiedsrichter ebenfalls scharf.
"Sie nennen sich die Königlichen, verhalten sich aber wie in einer Liga, die mehr in auf Kreisliga-Niveau zu suchen ist", sagte Kinhöfer über Real.
Real macht seit Wochen Stimmung gegen Schiedsrichter
Der Verein hatte unter anderem im Februar einen Brief veröffentlicht, in dem sich die Madrilenen als Opfer eines korrupten Schiedsrichterwesens betrachten. Wiederholt wurde im Klub-TV zudem Stimmung gegen Unparteiische gemacht.
Vor dem am Ende skandalösen Pokal-Endspiel gegen den Erzrivalen FC Barcelona beklagte sich Schiedsrichter Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea unter Tränen über den dadurch ausgeübten Druck. Real wiederum reagierte mit einem Boykott aller offiziellen Aktivitäten im Vorfeld des Spiels.
Kinhöfer: "Spieler dürfen im Endeffekt dann alles"
"Wenn ein Verein solch eine Vorgehensweise vorgibt, wissen die Spieler natürlich, wo die Messlatte liegt", kritisierte Kinhöfer. "Die Spieler dürfen im Endeffekt dann fast alles."
Trotzdem hätte sich der Schiedrichter-Experte härtere Konsquenzen für Rüdiger durch den DFB erhofft, der es bei einer Rüge für den Abwehrchef belassen hatte. "Ich hätte mir gewünscht, der DFB würde da andere Konsequenzen ziehen", aber man hat die Entscheidung des Bundestrainers und des Teamschefs zu akzeptieren", erklärte Kinhöfer.
Rüdiger für sechs Spiele gesperrt
Vom spanischen Verband war Rüdiger am Dienstag für sechs Spiele gesperrt worden. Da er sich am gleichen Tag einer überfälligen Knie-Operation unterzog und länger ausfällt, trifft ihn die Sperre sportlich aber nicht besonders.

] | Our online era is being defined by a digital haze of shitpost-y, weirdly specific memes that toe the line between satire and watch list. | Our online era is being defined by a digital haze of shitpost-y, weirdly specific memes that toe the line between satire and watch list.
It starts, as most things do, with a joke. A man speaks into the camera, phone angled just so we get a little too much chin.
He says: “When it happens, I don’t care how it happens. But I’m saying, when it happens, it’s gonna feel like Christmas. I’m gonna take the day off work. Maybe the whole week off. And then I’m gonna take that day off every single year.”
The video has 227,000 likes and over 1.3 million views. The top comments read: “I just hope it’s recorded so I can watch it over and over again”—31,000 likes; “I’m buying a newspaper that day and framing it”—25,000 likes.
No one says what “it” is. They don’t have to. That’s the magic of the phrase. Everyone brings their own subtext. You think it’s about Elon Musk. Someone else thinks it’s about Donald Trump. Another thinks it’s about landlords, or billionaires in general, or maybe just vibes. Vague enough to post. Specific enough to mean something.
Keep swiping. A fan edit of Luigi Mangione set to George Michael’s “Careless Whisper” pops up. The saxophone solo hits as courtroom stills dissolve into paparazzi flashes.
Then, a man earnestly performing a dance to the opening number to Wicked—the one about the Wicked Witch being dead—in his living room, full jazz hands, feet squeaking across a hardwood floor. The caption: rehearsing my choreography for when it happens. The implication, again, left to the viewer. Political assassination as Broadway number. Mass catharsis as cabaret.
This kind of thing—call it assassination discourse—has come to define the Internet lately. A digital haze of shitpost-y, weirdly specific memes that toe the line between satire and watch list. Images of cartoon characters armed to the teeth. A screenshot of a Google Maps pin on someone’s home address. An image of characters from Spongebob Squarepants pointing with the caption Let’s kill him. All of it delivered with the plausible deniability of irony. It’s not a threat. It’s just a joke.
Except when it isn’t.
In Indiana, a man is arrested for posting about Elon Musk. The posts are not what you’d call subtle. The first post identified in the affidavit is from December 6, 2024, when the account replied to a post by Musk with: “We’re gunning you down, next Muskrat.” The authorities call it felony intimidation. The defense will likely say that he was joking, or at least joking-adjacent.
No one is surprised.
This is the part we’ve all silently agreed on: the understanding that you can go viral and then go to jail in the same 48-hour window. The Internet is both playground and panopticon. There is, in fact, a line, but it’s invisible, movable, and typically enforced by humorless bureaucrats.
And it’s not just anonymous posters getting flagged. In February, Representative Robert Garcia, a sitting member of Congress, got a letter from the US Attorney for the District of Columbia after saying on CNN that we need to “bring actual weapons to this bar fight” to protect democracy against noxious figures like Elon Musk. Anyone with a brain could tell what he meant: policy, oversight, pressure. But no. The DOJ sent him a letter asking him to clarify whether he was threatening Musk, who is an “adviser” to the administration.
A congressman gets formally cautioned for hot air on cable news. That’s where we are. The line between rhetoric and criminality is no longer about intent. It’s about tone. Mood. Whether the wrong person reads your metaphor the wrong way on the wrong day.
The exception, of course, is if you’re on the right. Then you can call for civil war, or in Musk’s case say publicly on your social media platform that it is an inevitability. You can break into the Capitol dressed like a corny Viking and get pardoned by the president. The state isn’t anti-violence. It’s anti-unsanctioned violence. Murder is only inappropriate if it happens in the wrong direction.
I was recently doxed for a video where I said, vaguely and with a sort of half-sincere intonation, “You should do that thing you’re thinking about doing.”
Which, to be clear, could mean anything. Water your plants. Call your senator. Liberate the people. Whatever. And I didn’t mean anything specific. But the clip was picked up by a popular right-wing account, the kind that collects videos from people like me and reposts them without context for the purpose of stoking rage. The kind that tells on you to an audience of a million deranged shut-ins, reactionary suburban moms, and retired desk cops.
And just like that, my inbox filled up with helpful messages suggesting I kill myself, find God, or both. Which is funny, if you think about it. I got accused of inciting violence, then received threats of violence. For a video where I said nothing specific. The people offended by my ambiguity responded with stunning specificity. “Treasonous and deserves the death penalty,” they said. “Arrest, imprison.” With my full legal name, attorney number, even where I practice. He won’t be so smug when it happens.
There it is again. When it happens. Always in the future tense. Always looming like a storm that might never come. Or might come tomorrow, carrying an AR-15.
Here is the thing about political speech online: It doesn’t really work the way political speech is supposed to. There are algorithms, and these algorithms reward a particular kind of escalation. The shitpost that walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, but insists it’s actually a platypus made of irony.
You cannot post “People are suffering and it is the result of structural inequality, imposed by the rich and powerful” and expect it to go viral. You can, however, post something like “Mr. Musk, please kill yourself sir” and get 50,000 likes (before being banned, of course).
There’s a word I keep coming back to: metabolize. As in, the way digital culture metabolizes rage. Breaks it down into a sharable format. Reconstitutes it as content. There’s this mass of energy that is dispersed in this form, like letting out a loud fart. It is, in some ways, remarkably de-motivating to positive action.
What’s interesting, or depressing, is how government officials have responded to this. Not with change. Not with policy. Not with any real attempt to understand the source of the anger, the despair, or the hollowed-out humor that fuels this whole ecosystem. The response has been surveillance. Prosecution. Suppression. Watch what you say, they tell us, even as they do nothing about what we’re saying it about.
Students are being snatched off sidewalks by masked, unidentified armed agents; jailed for writing op-eds critical of policies. In some cases, people are deported to overseas prisons after being misidentified as gang members when in reality they have no criminal records, are married to American citizens, and have American children. Academics expressing themselves are forced to flee, out of fear of being detained and sent to a Salvadoran prison. The net is getting wider, and it’s not just catching edgy trolls who took it too far anymore.
You get the sense they’re less worried about a revolution and more worried about a particularly viral TikTok. One that’s just coded enough to skate past moderation, just vague enough to go unnoticed by the FBI intern watching your account from a desk in Quantico.
None of this feels real—not real enough to take seriously in the traditional sense, anyway—but it is real. Real enough to hurt someone, real enough to ruin your life. Like a bad dream you can’t wake up from. They’re seeking the death penalty for Luigi Mangione. Twenty years for a 24-year-old in Colorado who set fire to some Teslas. Oh look, there’s a new popular trend where someone in the comments is posting Elon Musk’s live flight information. “Assassination coordinates,” Musk calls them.
This isn’t new. There’s a long history of jokes as subversion, gallows humor as protest. But there’s something uniquely modern about the way assassination “discourse” has become, for lack of a better word, ambient. Not quite satire. Not quite sedition. A feeling. A refusal to say what you mean, because meaning things can actually be dangerous.
And yet people do mean things. Some of them, at least. The line between the person who’s joking and the person who’s serious has never been thinner. Never more porous. Sometimes it’s the same person; sometimes it’s you.
At the heart of all this, I think, is a kind of dissociation. A refusal, or maybe an inability, to process the enormity of everything. The climate is collapsing. Fascism is rising. Healthcare is a game show. We are all screaming into the void, and the void is replying with a link to a merch store.
In that context, is it really so surprising that people make jokes about violence? That the language of Internet memes and murder has started to overlap? That the phrase when it happens is both a threat and a hope and a prayer?
I don’t know what happens next. That’s the thing about “it.” You’re never quite sure what “it” is. A joke? A revolution? A knock on your door?
But I do know this: The jokes don’t radicalize us. They defang us. They absorb the rage, the despair, the moral clarity that should lead to action, and turn it into something that gets shared and then vanishes into the feed. We scream, we feel a little better, and then we go make lunch.
Two or three centuries ago, if someone destroyed your community, stole from you, and let your children die, you and the townspeople might light a torch and go to their house. Now we open our phones, make a video, share a post, and move on with our day. The revolution becomes a bit. A looping saxophone solo over a slow zoom on Luigi Mangione’s face.
Somewhere, right now, a teenager is making a video of a cartoon character holding a sniper rifle with the caption He’s not making it to 2026.
And it’ll get 1.2 million likes. | 2025-04-10T09:00:00 | false |

El chef Ezequiel Montilla, al frente del restaurante Alma Ezequiel Montilla en Córdoba, se prepara para embarcarse en una experiencia culinaria excepcional que lo llevará al corazón de Japón. A través de un proyecto impulsado por la cadena hotelera InterContinental y la Junta de Andalucía, Montilla será el embajador de la gastronomía andaluza durante una semana en el prestigioso Hotel InterContinental Yokohama Grand en Tokio. En esta ocasión, el chef nos ha compartido en una entrevista exclusiva detalles sobre su participación en este evento y cómo planea llevar los sabores de Andalucía al exigente paladar japonés.
La iniciativa forma parte de un esfuerzo conjunto entre la cadena InterContinental, Andalucía TRADE y la Junta de Andalucía, con el objetivo de promover los productos andaluces en Japón . «Había varios candidatos a nivel andaluz, y estoy muy agradecido de que me hayan escogido a mí. Lo que se va a hacer es potenciar los productos de Andalucía. Nos vamos a Yokohama en Tokio, y voy a estar allí durante una semana cocinando varias recetas que hemos desarrollado en el restaurante», comenta Montilla. Aunque el chef suele hablar en plural, ya que está acostumbrado a trabajar con su equipo, en esta ocasión el viaje lo realizará solo, representando tanto a su restaurante como a la rica tradición culinaria de la región.
Una semana de cocina andaluza en Japón
El evento se desarrollará principalmente en el restaurante francés del Hotel InterContinental, donde Montilla ofrecerá un menú degustación durante el fin de semana del 7 y 8 de septiembre, tanto al mediodía como por la noche. Además, durante otros dos días, el chef cordobés preparará un buffet en otro de los restaurantes del hotel, llevando a los comensales una muestra de la cocina andaluza más auténtica.
Montilla describe su enfoque para este evento: «Nos llevamos la parte más andaluza de Alma, nuestra cocina, aunque tiene influencias francesas y marroquíes, se centrará en los sabores más representativos de Andalucía. La idea es que lo que cocinemos durante esa semana en Yokohama se prolongue durante tres meses , potenciando especialmente los productos andaluces».
Un showcooking especial con All Japan Chef Association
Uno de los momentos más destacados de la semana será el showcooking que Montilla realizará junto a la All Japan Chef Association (AJCA), una de las asociaciones culinarias más importantes de Japón. Durante este evento, el chef preparará en directo tres platos que resaltan la esencia de la cocina andaluza: pulpo a la andaluza con alioli de lima y limón , salmorejo con tartar de atún y frambuesa de Huelva , y un solomillo de cerdo de bellota con setas salteadas . Todo ello acompañado de vinos de Montilla Moriles y de Jerez, entre otros. Este evento no solo servirá para demostrar la versatilidad de los productos andaluces, sino también para establecer un diálogo culinario con los chefs japoneses, quienes participarán activamente en la demostración.
El desafío de exportar la autenticidad
Llevar la auténtica cocina andaluza a Japón no es tarea fácil, especialmente cuando se trata de ingredientes de temporada que pueden ser difíciles de encontrar en el extranjero. Montilla reflexiona sobre este reto: «Nos encantaría llevarnos otros productos, pero algunos son complicados de transportar o no están disponibles en esta temporada. Aun así, creemos que lo que vamos a hacer va a ser muy positivo y una experiencia increíble ».
Para el chef cordobés, esta aventura no solo representa un gran reto profesional, sino también un honor: «Es un privilegio ser un abanderado de Andalucía en Japón, y llevar la cocina de Alma y nuestra cultura gastronómica a un público tan exigente. Estoy nervioso, pero sobre todo, muy emocionado por lo que vamos a lograr». | 2024-09-02T16:43:59 | true |

He tomado estas imágenes para el FotoFlash de Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia en esa delicia natural de algo más de 20 hectáreas que es el jardín histórico del Campo del Moro, creado en el siglo XVI a instancias del rey Felipe II y que, junto a los jardines de Sabatini y la plaza de Oriente, conforma uno de los tres recintos ajardinados del contorno del Palacio Real en Madrid.
El nombre de Campo del Moro le viene porque allí acamparon las tropas musulmanas de Alí Ben Yusuf en su intento de reconquistar la ciudad tras su pérdida a manos de las huestes cristianas de Alfonso VI.
La primera toma de contacto con los jardines ofrece una vista impresionante con la gran avenida, la arteria central, de la Pradera de las Vistas del Sol, decorada con la Fuente de las Conchas y la Fuente de los Tritones y, al fondo, presidiéndolo todo, la fachada del Palacio Real.
Este parque tiene numerosos rincones inolvidables, caprichos. el antiguo Museo de Carruajes, estanques y fuentes diversas, pero estas imágenes quieren hacer hincapié en la enorme riqueza arbórea y de árboles singulares que convierten por momentos en una auténtica selva los parajes de este bello jardín.

El arte abstracto, con su lenguaje visual de formas y colores, existe con independencia del mundo real. Es por ello que si esta realidad nos agobia, cada vez más llena de ruido y de negatividad, la abstracción nos puede ayudar a evadirnos de forma emocional y creativa.
En esta serie de imágenes que he captado para Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia represento un bosque de colores vibrantes, interpretando con la técnica de los reflejos mi entorno cotidiano, en Vilobí d'Onyar. Me ha servido para elaborar este reportaje un foco de coche que teníamos aparcado en el jardín de la Fraternitat de Santa Clara. Y, a partir de este elemento y de los árboles, todo aparece fusionado con sus colores intensos. Todo sirve para crear otra realidad de belleza.
El uso de estos colores vibrantes nos trasmite emoción, incluso alegría. No olvidemos que estamos en la primavera. También nos pueden evocar movimiento o una sensación de profundidad. En este caso, la ausencia de tonos oscuros nos aleja de la representación dramática.
No hay duda de que una de las características más definidoras del arte abstracto es el uso de colores vibrantes, como los que vemos en estas fotografías. Artistas como Marc Chagall utilizaban estos tonos brillantes y saturados para crear emoción en su obra.
Los orígenes de la abstracción pictórica nos trasladan al siglo XIX y a comienzos del siglo XX, cuando artistas como Wassily Kandinsky y Piet Mondrian experimentaron con formas audaces no representacionales.
En los años 1920 y 1930, el arte abstracto se volvió cada vez más popular, con artistas como Joan Miró, Yves Tanguy y Jackson Pollock. ¿La abstracción es cada vez más necesaria hoy en día? ¿Nos ayuda este tipo de arte a evadirnos? ¿Es incluso una necesidad?... No en vano “abstraerse” significa concentrarse en los propios pensamientos apartando los sentidos o la mente de la realidad inmediata, retirarse, recogerse.

"I have been diagnosed with ALS. I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter," the 52-year-old "Euphoria" actor and "Grey's Anatomy" alum told People magazine.
"I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to the set of ‘Euphoria’ next week. I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time."
ALS is a "nervous system disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord," according to the Mayo Clinic.
It causes loss of muscle control as well as breathing and eating problems and can cause dementia.
Patients typically live for three years after being diagnosed with the disease, but some can live for decades, according to the ALS Association.
Others who have battled ALS include Stephen Hawking; Yankees player Lou Gehrig, who died in 1941; "SpongeBob SquarePants" creator Stephen Hillenburg; and Jon Stone, the creator "Sesame Street."
Dane is married to actress Rebecca Gayheart, and they share two children, Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13. | 2025-04-11T01:30:56 | false |

William Shatner decries ‘Presentism,’ rewriting of history in media, literature | Fox News | https://www.foxnews.com/media/william-shatner-decries-presentism-rewriting-history-media-literature | [

] | Famed "Star Trek" actor William Shatner decried the erasure of history and rewriting of literature in fiery posts on Wednesday.
"It’s called Presentism and it was used wreak havoc on history several years ago when statues were torn down, books were banned and things renamed to prove how progressive the world had become," Shatner said on X, calling to mind the days following George Floyd’s death in 2020 where cities across the country were burned and statues were toppled in protest.
Shatner, who played Capt. James T. Kirk on the original "Star Trek" TV series from 1966 to 1969, also claimed that Paramount+ had "intentionally garbed" his famed intro line "to boldly go where no man has gone before," calling the change "Presentism at its finest hour." However, the phrase remains intact on the streaming platform.
Shatner later said, "They must have restored it. The monologue used to be imperceptible to the background music."
Fox News Digital reached out to Paramount+ for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.
Shatner also shared his frustration over "wokies" forcing changes on Laura Ingalls WIlder's "Little House on the Prairie" series.
"Obviously you were not around when the wokies (not to be confused with Wookiees ;) coerced the Library Association to change the name of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Literary Award to a generic name because of presentism & their objections on how Native Americans were depicted in the late 1800’s," he tweeted.
"There’s apparently a line in one of the books where Laura wrote of a character who said ‘there were no people who lived on the prairie only Indians’ & there were one or two other lines which with presentism are culturally insensitive but reflected an opinion of 1860’s America," he added.
In 2018, the Association of Library Service to Children's (ALSC) board voted unanimously to rename the "Laura Ingalls Wilder Award" as the "Children’s Literature Legacy Award."

Trump threatens tariffs and sanctions on Mexico for 'stealing' water from Texas farmers | Fox News | https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-threatens-tariffs-sanctions-mexico-stealing-water-texas-farmers | [

] | President Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs, and possibly sanctions against Mexico, if it continues to rob South Texas farmers of Rio Grande water promised under a decades-old treaty.
In a post on Truth Social on Thursday, Trump proclaimed that Mexico owes Texas 1.3 million acre-feet of water under the 1944 Water Treaty, though Mexico was violating their obligation.
"This is very unfair, and it is hurting South Texas Farmers very badly," the president wrote. "Last year, the only Sugar Mill in Texas CLOSED, because Mexico has been stealing the water from Texas Farmers. Ted Cruz has been leading the fight to get South Texas the water it is owed, but Sleepy Joe refused to lift a finger to help the Farmers. THAT ENDS NOW!"
Trump continued, saying he will make sure Mexico does not violate treaties with the U.S. and hurt farmers in Texas.
"Just last month, I halted water shipments to Tijuana until Mexico complies with the 1944 Water Treaty," he said. "My Agriculture Secretary, Brooke Rollins, is standing up for Texas Farmers, and we will keep escalating consequences, including TARIFFS and, maybe even SANCTIONS, until Mexico honors the Treaty, and GIVES TEXAS THE WATER THEY ARE OWED!"
Texas farm groups warned of a disastrous season ahead of them for citrus and sugar, last year, as Mexican and U.S. officials tried to resolve a dispute over the 1944 water treaty that supplies U.S. farmers with critical irrigation.
The two countries have tussled over the treaty before, but the drought-driven water shortages were the most severe in nearly 30 years.
Under the treaty designed to allocate shared water resources, Mexico is required to send 1.75 million acre-feet of water from the Rio Grande to the U.S. over a five-year cycle.
Texas's half-billion-dollar citrus industry is heavily dependent on water from Mexico, especially with drought conditions growing more severe in the region. In fact, Texas is the third-largest citrus state behind California and Florida.
Last month, the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs posted that it was denying a request from Mexico to deliver water to Tijuana.
"Mexico's continued shortfalls in its water deliveries under the 1944 water-sharing treaty are decimating American agriculture – particularly farmers in the Rio Grande valley," the agency wrote on X. "As a result, today for the first time, the U.S. will deny Mexico's non-treaty request for a special delivery channel for Colorado River water to be delivered to Tijuana."
The day before, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas., said South Texas was facing a water crisis, which he called a "man-made crisis."
He also noted that he was leading the fight in the Senate to hold Mexico accountable and abide by the treaty to deliver water to farmers in South Texas.
He shared the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs’ post, calling the move, "excellent."
"As I said yesterday, this option is absolutely what the Trump administration needs to pressure Mexico to fulfill its obligations under the 1944 Water Treaty," Cruz wrote on X. "Texas farmers are in crisis because of Mexico's noncompliance. I will work with the Trump administration to pressure Mexico into complying and to get water to Texas farmers." | 2025-04-11T01:38:54 | false |

Reincorporación al trabajo escalonada , y también entradas y salidas diferentes en el tiempo e incluso en las puertas utilizadas, son algunas de las recomendaciones recogidas en el protocolo que han firmado el Gobierno regional con la patronal CEIM y los sindicatos CC.OO. y UGT . El vicepresidente regional, Ignacio Aguado, ha insistido en que se pretende que la vuelta al trabajo en septiembre se produzca «de la forma más segura posible». Por eso, recuerda que «la mascarilla es nuestro arnés o cinturón de seguridad en la vuelta al trabajo».
Entre los consejos que se dan, están la de proporcionar al trabajador, antes de su incorporación tras las vacaciones, un documento con la información precisa sobre las aexigencias sanitarias, instrucciones para proceder y medidas que se van a aplicar en la empresa.
Se aconseja escalonar la reincorporación de los trabajadores, «evitando la coincidencia masiva de personas en trabajo presencial» y adaemás estableciendo que «la entrada y salida del centro de trabajo» sea también escalonada y «por diferentes lugares».
Insiste la Comunidad de Madrid en su protocolo en el uso del teletrabajo y de las videoconferencias, en lugar de los encuentros presenciales.
En lo relativo a limpieza y desinfección, se pide la ventilación periódica de los lugares de trabajo «por lo menos 5 minutos al día», y «reforzar la limpieza de los filtros de aire acondicionado».
Además, se recomienda «eliminar todo tipo de contacto físico, incluidos los saludos, manteniendo en todo caso y siempre que sea posible la distancia física interpersonal de 1,5 metros entre los trabajadores». Se recomienda «la utilización de mascarilla en el centro de trabajo en todo momento , al menos hasta 14 días después de la terminación del periodo vacacional de la totalidad de la plantilla, incluso cuando el trabajador se encuentre sentado en su puesto y mantenga la distancia física interpersonal de 1,5 metros».
Y también se pide «no utilizar los lugares comunes, tales como comedores, vestuarios o áreas comunes de descanso», unas recomendaciones a las que el vicepresidente Ignacio Aguado ha añadido, aunque no está en el protocolo acordado, la precaución en las salas donde se sitúan las máquinas de café, tan visitadas en las oficinas. Los ascensores no deberían utilizarse, o sólo de manera individual. | 2020-08-31T11:49:10 | true |

This week, the baseball Hall of Famer showed off his photography skills.
Griffey traveled to Augusta National Golf Club for the Masters. But he wasn't just another spectator with one of the highly coveted spectator badges.
The Seattle Mariners legend arrived as a credentialed photographer.
Griffey Jr. has long held an interest in photography. He said he initially began snapping photos as a way to see his children more often.
"I was still playing — and I understand what my dad felt like coming to watch me play — but now, with social media, it was a little different. Everybody is like, ‘Oh, Ken’s here,’" Griffey Jr. told Mornings @ the Masters.
"My daughter literally stopped dribbling a basketball and just looked at me when she was 5, and I was like, ‘OK, I’ve got to pay more attention to what’s going on.’ And I figured nobody’s messing with the photographer. Well, let me pick it up."
Griffey's athletic abilities extend beyond the baseball diamond, and he frequently plays golf. The 13-time MLB All-Star said he's played at Masters events in the past.
Griffey finished his prolific big league baseball career with 630 regular-season home runs. While he is best known for his two stints with the Mariners, Griffey Jr. also played for the Cincinnati Reds from 2000-08. | 2025-04-11T01:40:41 | false |

Como cada mes de septiembre, Montilla se viste de gala para celebrar uno de los eventos más esperados del año: la Fiesta de la Vendimia. Este 2024, el evento alcanza su 69ª edición, consolidándose como el gran pórtico del septiembre montillano, un mes repleto de actividades que giran en torno al enoturismo y la promoción de los exquisitos vinos de la región. Del 5 al 8 de septiembre, Montilla invita a residentes y visitantes a sumergirse en la tradición vinícola que ha hecho famosa a esta localidad cordobesa.
La programación oficial, que comenzó el 31 de agosto con la emblemática Cata Flamenca en Envidarte, promete un mes repleto de cultura, gastronomía y, por supuesto, buen vino. La Casa del Inca, conocida por albergar las Botas Reales, fue el escenario elegido para la presentación del cartel y el programa de la Fiesta de la Vendimia. En este acto, participaron destacadas personalidades locales, como el alcalde Rafael Llamas, el gerente del Consejo Regulador de la DOP Montilla-Moriles, Enrique Garrido, y el hermano mayor de la Hermandad de la Virgen de las Viñas, José Luis Fernández.
Un programa con notables novedades
La Fiesta de la Vendimia de este año trae consigo algunas novedades. El dramaturgo montillano Juan Carlos Rubio ha sido elegido como capataz de honor , encargado de pregonar la fiesta el jueves 5 de septiembre. Como embajador de los vinos de Montilla durante un año, Rubio estará acompañado por Manuel Alférez, capataz de campo, y José Manuel Zurera, capataz de bodega, quienes también serán reconocidos por su labor en el sector vinícola.
El viernes 6 de septiembre, se llevará a cabo el nombramiento de los vendimiadores mayores y su corte de honor en el emblemático patio de Bodegas Pérez Barquero. El acto principal de la jornada siguiente, sábado 7 de septiembre, será la tradicional Pisa de la Uva y la Ofrenda del Mosto a la Virgen de las Viñas. Esta procesión, que recorrerá las calles de El Barrio, estará acompañada por niños y niñas portando racimos de uva hasta la Plaza de la Merced.
La música también tendrá un papel destacado en esta celebración . Actuaciones de grupos como Chassis, Los Tabernícolas, Orquesta Mediterráneo, Imperio Reina y Cristina Serrano animarán las noches en la Plaza de la Merced. Además, se celebrarán eventos deportivos como el XXX Open de Ajedrez Ciudad del Vino, la XV Prueba Hípica con Obstáculos Ciudad de Montilla y la VI Ruta Senderista de la Vendimia.
Una de las novedades más esperadas es el estreno de la obra de teatro Querida Ágatha , escrita por el propio Juan Carlos Rubio, que se representará en doble función en el Teatro Garnelo.
La verbena
Durante estas mismas fechas, la asociación vecinal Gran Capitán celebrará la tradicional Verbena de El Barrio. El pregón de Ángel Márquez el miércoles 4 de septiembre dará inicio a las festividades, que tendrán lugar en la plaza junto al antiguo depósito del agua. La verbena contará con música en directo, concursos, juegos infantiles y el nombramiento del socio o vecino de honor.
Un cartel que respira montillanía
El cartel de la 69ª edición de la Fiesta de la Vendimia, obra de Francisco Jesús Lara Molina, captura la esencia de Montilla y su estrecha relación con el vino y la viña. Con una técnica que combina acrílico, pastel y digitalización , el joven artista montillano ha querido rendir homenaje a la tradición vinícola de su tierra.
“Quise representar en este cartel toda la tradición que tenemos en Montilla en torno al vino y la viña, que son una parte fundamental de la montillanía en sí”, explica Lara Molina. En su obra, se puede apreciar la ciudad de Montilla al fondo, acompañada de formas que evocan uvas y viñas, y en primer plano, un catavino como símbolo del esfuerzo de los trabajadores del campo. | 2024-09-05T07:38:52 | true |

] | Getting arrested two weeks before going pro isn't ideal, but that's the situation with Texas wide receiver Isaiah Bond.
The 21-year-old turned himself in to police Thursday on a sexual assault warrant. He posted $25,000 bail and has been released.
Details of the allegations are not known, but Bond called them "patently false."
"Regarding the accusation made against me, I would appreciate the time and opportunity to defend myself and prove the claims made, patently false," Bond wrote on X. "I am in full cooperation with the authorities and will remain a willing and active participant in the investigation."
"Unfortunately, claims like these prove to be harmful to all involved, absent full review. I kindly request that all reserve judgment until the authorities provide a complete report based on truth and evidence."
Bond spent his final college season with the Longhorns after both Xavier Worthy and Adonai Mitchell went to the NFL. He caught 34 passes for 540 yards and five touchdowns. He declared for the NFL Draft shortly after the Longhorns were eliminated from the College Football Playoff by eventual national champion Ohio State, who they open the season against.
Before going to Texas, Bond spent his first two college seasons at Alabama. His final touchdown in a Crimson Tide uniform came from Jalen Milroe on a 4th-and-31 with 32 seconds left on the road against Auburn in the Iron Bowl.
The win saved Bama's season as they went to the SEC title game the next week and upset then-No. 1 Georgia, but they lost in the Rose Bowl to Michigan, which later won the national championship.
Bond is expected to be a second-day draft pick this month. | 2025-04-11T01:30:12 | false |

La continua llegada de inmigrantes crea una emergencia en Lampedusa , con tensión y polémica política en aumento, otras naves humanitarias piden desembarcar personas rescatadas en el Mediterráneo. Un barco con unos 400 tunecinos fue rescatado en la noche del sábado al domingo a 4 millas de Lampedusa cuando estaba en peligro de naufragar a causa del fuerte viento siroco. La tragedia pudo evitarse gracias a la intervención de las patrulleras de la Guardia Costera y de la Guardia di Finanza , que ayudaron a la nave tunecina hasta su desembarco en el puerto de Lampedusa.
Su llegada desencadenó la protesta de un grupo de habitantes. Otros 500 inmigrantes habían llegado también a la isla en unas 30 pequeñas embarcaciones procedentes de Túnez. «Lampedusa está al borde del colapso por la invasión de inmigrantes, ahora iremos a la huelga», dijo con profunda irritación el alcalde de la Isla, Totó Martello , de izquierdas. El regidor ha criticado duramente al Gobierno y anuncia que la isla está lista para una huelga general: «Si un barco tan grande y lleno de inmigrantes llega a Lampedusa - dijo Totó Martello a la RAI- significa que en el Mediterráneo no hay control por parte del Gobierno italiano. Esos 400 migrantes no pueden ser admitidos cuando ya hay 1.160 en el centro de acogida (la capacidad es para 200 personas). Si el Gobierno ha decidido que Lampedusa debe convertirse en un centro de inmigrantes, saldremos a la calle y realizaremos huelga general. El Gobierno está completamente ausente. Hay un grave problema de estabilidad del país», añadió el alcalde de Lampedusa.
El Gobierno escuaha las protestas
En la tarde del domingo continuaron las protesta en la isla contra los desembarcos. El Gobierno escuchó el grito del regidor de Lampedusa y de sus habitantes, anunciando, a la caída de la tarde del domingo, que 120 inmigrantes serían transferidos de la isla por la noche , después de someterlos a un test de coronavirus. El comunicado del ministerio del Interior precisó que «está siguiendo con extrema atención la grave situación relacionada con el desembarco de unos 400 inmigrantes en la noche del sábado a Lampedusa». Al mismo tiempo, Interior anunció que se enviarán a Lampedusa otros tres barcos, además de los dos ya en funcionamiento, para la vigilancia sanitaria de los inmigrantes irregulares y que hagan la cuarentena en esas embarcaciones. «El primero llegará a Lampedusa el lunes por la noche, los otros dos el miércoles. Aproximadamente 300 migrantes serán evacuados del centro de acogida de Lampedusa entre esta noche y mañana por la mañana», concluye el comunicado.
El problema de la inmigración vuelve a ser la gran bandera electoral de Matteo Salvini , en su permanente campaña para los comicios en 6 regiones italianas el próximo 20 y 21 de septiembre. «Lo increíble –ha declarado el líder de la Liga- es que, en este año de virus, la inmigración ha descendido drásticamente en toda Europa: España, Grecia, Malta… Italia es el único país occidental que ha aumentado los desembarcos y llegadas irregulares. Gobierno cómplice, nos habéis vendido a Europa», ha dicho Salvini.
El presidente de la región de Sicilia, Nello Musumeci, ha pedido al primer ministro, Giuseppe Conte , que convoque el Consejo de Ministros, «para dar una solución a la emergencia de los últimos meses que se ha vuelto insoportable en estas horas».
En este contexto de fuerte tensión por la inmigración, la agencia de la ONU para los refugiados (ACNUR), pidió al Gobierno italiano que facilite el desembarco inmediato de unos 400 inmigrantes rescatados en el Mediterráneo central por tres barcos, entre ellos el «Louise Michel», financiado p or el artista británico de arte urbano Bansky . | 2020-08-30T23:19:05 | true |

] | North Carolina state lawmakers have passed legislation prohibiting those rendering emergency aid from discriminating against those they assist based on political affiliation or political speech.
H.B. 251 also adds "a provision that no applicant for any State emergency assistance in the form of grants shall be required to provide any personal demographic information unless the information is necessary to award the grant or is otherwise required by law."
"This came about after an incident that occurred following Helene, and word was getting out that FEMA was actually discriminating against people based on their political speech," Republican State Rep. Kelly Hastings, R-Gaston, said on the House floor Thursday, according to The Carolina Journal. "And so that’s when we decided we might want to send a clear message about discriminating against someone based on their political speech, being that political speech is under our constitutional jurisprudence – maybe the highest protected speech that we have."
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) came under fire last year when an agency supervisor allegedly instructed workers to avoid reaching out to homeowners with Trump signs in their yards after Hurricane Milton, which struck the U.S. about two weeks after Hurricane Helene devastated areas across six states. Helene was the most deadly hurricane since Katrina.
The bill passed the House on April 1 by a vote of 106-10 — the 10 no votes all coming from Democrats, as The Northern State reported.
The former FEMA supervisor who issued the instructions, Marn'i Washington, appeared on "Fox News @ Night" on Nov. 14 and said she was "simply executing" orders from her superiors to avoid political encounters that could be hostile.
"Why is this coming down on me? I am the person that jotted down the notes from my superiors and my notation in [Microsoft] Teams chat was exposed from their search capacity team," Washington, who was fired, said at the time.
FEMA's administrator on employee misconduct, Deanne Criswell, confirmed to Fox News Digital over the weekend that the supervisor was fired and that her actions were "reprehensible." Another FEMA spokesperson told Fox that Washington’s actions were an "isolated incident."
But Washington insisted that’s not true, telling Fox News host Trace Gallagher that the orders came from someone above her.
The former FEMA employee alleged that the Florida team had already been avoiding Trump voters’ homes prior to her work there.
"This was the culture. They were already avoiding these homes based on community trends from hostile political encounters. It has nothing to do with the campaign sign. It just so happened to be part of the community trend," she explained at the time.
The Biden administration said in a Jan. 22 press release that FEMA approved more than $860 million, including 507 million in assistance for individuals and communities affected and over $351.5 million for debris removal and activities to save lives, after Helene. It also deployed more than 8,500 personnel to the area.
In February, FEMA said 153,000 families were receiving FEMA assistance in North Carolina.
Despite the agency's efforts last year, however, many North Carolinians still living in trailers throughout the winter after losing their home in the storm expressed frustration with the government's response to the disaster that left 107 dead in the Tar Heel State alone.
The North Carolina bill, which amends the North Carolina Emergency Management Act, will now move on to the Senate. | 2025-04-11T02:13:16 | false |

] | Border patrol agents at the Texas-Mexico border made two interesting finds while searching vehicles last weekend, resulting in the arrests of three people in two separate incidents.
A 20-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman, both U.S. citizens, were crossing into the United States through the Anzalduas International Bridge when their vehicle was flagged by CBP agents for a second inspection on Sunday.
Upon investigation, officials discovered a spider monkey stowed inside a backpack in the vehicle. The two individuals were taken into custody and the monkey was transported to Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville.
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora protects certain types of monkeys and their importation is regulated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to CBP officials. However, monkeys are not permitted to be imported as pets.
On the same day, CPB agents at the Hidalgo International Bridge stopped a 68-year-old Mexican citizen crossing into the U.S. for a second inspection.
Agents discovered approximately 73 pounds of alleged cocaine stashed inside the man’s Fort Explorer. Authorities estimate the alleged narcotics have a street value of approximately $980,000.
AMERICAN CAR THEFTS SURGE AS TEENAGE BANDITS, INTERNATIONAL CRIME RINGS SHIP STOLEN VEHICLES OVERSEAS
The man was taken into custody by Homeland Security and the cocaine was seized by CBP.
The identities of the three suspects have not been released by authorities.
"Our frontline CBP officers and agriculture specialists continue to remain vigilant as they conduct their inspections; their attention to detail and inspections experience led to an interception of an endangered species and a significant narcotics seizure in two separate enforcement events," Hidalgo Port Director Carlos Rodriguez said in a statement. "We remain committed to preventing the exploitation of protected animals and the spread of animal diseases. Seizures of narcotics also reinforce our continued commitment to our border security mission."
CBP did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. | 2025-04-11T01:35:05 | false |
