ANÁLISIS | Las imágenes de la cámara corporal de Louisville muestran la realidad trágica y brutal de la policía en Estados Unidos

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:18 GMT

(CNN) — Esto es lo que significa servir y proteger a las personas en un país inundado de armas.Las desgarradoras, pero aleccionadoras imágenes de la cámara corporal de dos agentes de Louisville, Kentucky, que intervinieron en el tiroteo de este lunes, muestran las demandas que se imponen a los policías que responden a los tiroteos masivos que proliferan en Estados Unidos y el terrible precio que pueden pagar.El video de lo que es efectivamente una batalla callejera más parecida a una zona de guerra en el extranjero que a una ciudad de EE.UU. con el sol de la mañana, ofrece un antídoto visceral contra el encogimiento de hombros colectivo que a menudo ocurre después a las masacres en el país.Esta es una escena cruda y aterradora, mezclada con coraje y heroísmo. Ofrece una revisión de la realidad sobre lo que se desarrolla en momentos de terror y deja, vacíos en comparación, los rituales políticos regulares posteriores a la masacre de “pensamientos y oraciones” y llam...

Bottoms up! Some MLB teams extend beer sales to 8th inning

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:18 GMT

PHOENIX (AP) — Thanks to the pitch clock, the action is moving much faster at Major League Baseball games. It also means a little less time for fans to enjoy a frosty adult beverage.To combat that time crunch, at least four teams — the Arizona Diamondbacks, Texas Rangers, Minnesota Twins and Milwaukee Brewers — have extended alcohol sales through the eighth inning this season. Others, like the Miami Marlins and New York Mets, still have seventh-inning cutoffs, but haven’t ruled out changes.“Totally makes sense to me,” said Tom Lienhardt, who was sipping on a beer Tuesday night before the Brewers-Diamondbacks game at Chase Field. “Since the games are shorter, you’ve got to adjust.”Teams have historically stopped selling alcohol after the seventh.At least one team, the Baltimore Orioles, already sold alcohol through the eighth inning, or until 3 1/2 hours after first pitch, whichever came first. MLB games have been considerably shorter this season, largely thanks to a series of ...

Controversial Florida Senate bill bans minors from drag shows, sparks backlash from Democrats and LGBTQ community

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:18 GMT

Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and other members of the community are set to speak out around 10 a.m. on Wednesday in opposition to the Florida Senate-passed bill preventing children from attending drag shows.They argue that the language of the bill is too ambiguous, raising concerns that it could lead to a chilling effect on businesses hosting drag shows and even prompt cities in Florida to deny permits for Pride parades.The Republican-controlled Florida Senate passed a controversial bill on Tuesday that would prohibit minors from attending drag shows, even if their parents consent. Under the proposed legislation, organizers and performers could be fined and possibly face criminal charges, including imprisonment, if the performance is deemed “lewd” by authorities.Opponents of the bill argue that it is an infringement on the freedom of expression and would harm the state’s LGBTQ community. The bill will now move to the House for a fi...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:18 GMT

LONDON — New British financial sanctions will be levelled against “fixers” hiding money for high-profile Russian oligarchs Roman Abramovich and Alisher Usmanov, the U.K. Foreign Office today announced.The fresh sanctions are being targeted at people who have “knowingly assisted sanctioned Russia oligarchs to hide their assets,” which includes family members of several sanctioned individuals.Abramovich is the former owner of Chelsea Football Club, and a friend of Vladimir Putin. He was forced to sell the club after the British government froze the billionaire’s assets after the invasion of Ukraine. Usmanov formerly held a stake in Arsenal Football Club and still has close ties to Everton Football Club. Among those sanctioned today are Demetris Ioannides and Christodoulos Vassiliades — two Cyrpriots who have allegedly helped Abramovich and Usmanov avoid financial sanctions on their U.K. assets.Three London-based firms — USM, Curzon Squ...

EU top diplomat postpones China trip after positive COVID test

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:18 GMT

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has postponed a planned trip to China, after testing positive for COVID-19. The top diplomat was scheduled to travel to China from Thursday to Saturday, following last week’s visit by European Commission boss Ursula von der Leyen and French President Emmanuel Macron.“I have tested positive for COVID-19 and therefore unfortunately will need to postpone my visit to China,” Borrell tweeted. “I am feeling well and have no symptoms.”Borrell was meant to conduct the annual EU-China strategic dialogue with Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang, and meet China’s foreign policy chief Wang Yi, as well as the new Defense Minister Li Shangfu.Macron triggered a backlash from Western allies during his trip last week, telling POLITICO in an interview that Europe must reduce its dependency on the United States and avoid getting dragged into a confrontation between China and the U.S. over Taiwan.
