Crisis en Rusia: Moscú impone medidas antiterroristas, mientras Grupo Wagner sigue en rebeldía

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 17:17:00 GMT

MOSCÚ – Rusia introdujo medidas antiterroristas en la capital y en la región de Moscú, después de que el jefe del grupo de mercenarios Wagner, Yevgueni Prigozhin, se declaró en rebeldía con el mando militar del Ministerio ruso de Defensa para acabar con el “caos” que supone la guerra en Ucrania.“Con relación a la información que llega, en Moscú se están tomando medidas antiterroristas destinadas a fortalecer la seguridad”, afirmó el alcalde de Moscú, Serguéi Sobianin, en su canal de Telegram.El regidor de la capital explicó que se han organizado un control adicional en las carreteras y advirtió que es posible que se limite la celebración de actos públicos.“Es posible que haya controles adicionales en las carreteras, en este sentido, les pido que se abstengan de viajar en transporte personal en el sur de la región de Moscú si es posible.

Wagner boss Prigozhin claims control of Russia’s Rostov-on-Don, menaces Moscow

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 17:17:00 GMT

Russian warlord Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed early Saturday to have taken control of the strategic southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don without a fight, as Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed to “neutralize” the threat posed by the renegade Wagner mercenary army.Multiple reports also indicated that Prigozhin’s forces had taken control of military facilities in Voronezh, a city roughly 500 kilometers south of Moscow and around 500 kilometers north of Rostov — giving the mercenary group a foothold in two Russian cities that are key to the Kremlin’s war on Ukraine.Overnight, Prigozhin had said in a series of short voice messages posted to social media that he was leading a “march of justice” and not a military coup, and suggested that 25,000 of his men were en route to Moscow to oust Russia’s military leadership — and were ready to die for the cause.The moves escalate the stakes in an uprising by Prigozhin’s Wagner group against the military leader...

Mix of bravado and access to guns contribute to mass shootings by teens in St. Louis, other cities

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 17:17:00 GMT

CHICAGO (AP) — A 1 a.m. shooting at a party in downtown St. Louis kills one and injures nearly a dozen. Gunmen open fire during a fight near Florida’s Hollywood Beach, injuring nine, including a 1-year-old. Bursts of gunfire at a Sweet 16 party in Dadeville, Alabama, kill four and wound more than 30. What these and other recent mass shootings share in common is they all involve suspects in their teens, highlighting what can be a deadly mix of teenage bravado and impulsiveness with access to guns.The days when many teens opted to fight out disagreements with fists seem quaint by comparison.“I remember when I was a child and we had fights — somebody got a black eye or a broken nose and (they) lived to tell about it,” St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones told reporters after Sunday’s shooting. Reaching for a gun is the default these days for some teens who are as quick to take offense as to pull a trigger, agreed Rodney Phillips, a 50-year-old former Chicago Black Disciples leade...

Long heritage of Native Hawaiian gender-fluidity showcased in Las Vegas drag show

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 17:17:00 GMT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Drag queens donning the white, red and blue of the Hawaiian flag shimmied across the stage to a throbbing techno remix of “Aloha Oe,” a song composed by Hawaii’s last reigning monarch. Spectators roared as a performer shook her hips in a Tahitian-style dance.All were “mahu” — a Hawaiian term for people with dual male and female spirit and a mixture of gender traits. They starred in a drag show this week called “Mahu Magic” on the sidelines of a Native Hawaiian convention in Las Vegas to remind the world of the respected place gender-fluidity has held in Hawaiian culture for hundreds of years, while also making a foray into the national conversation about transgender rights. “It’s a little different from other drag shows because this one has a very specific purpose,” Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu, who is mahu, a community leader and a master teacher of hula and chanting, told the audience midway through the event.“It is meant to reinstate the rightful plac...

UK village marks 80th anniversary of fight against US Army racism in World War II

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 17:17:00 GMT

BAMBER BRIDGE, England (AP) — The village of Bamber Bridge in northwestern England is proud of the blow it struck against racism in the U.S. military during World War II.When an all-Black truck regiment was stationed there, residents refused to accept the segregation ingrained in the U.S. Army. Ignoring pressure from British and American authorities, pubs welcomed the GIs, local women chatted and danced with them, and English soldiers drank alongside men they saw as allies in the war.But simmering tensions between Black soldiers and white military police exploded on June 24, 1943, when a dispute outside a pub escalated into a night of gunfire. Private William Crossland was killed and dozens of soldiers from the truck regiment faced court martial. When Crossland’s niece learned about the circumstances of her uncle’s death, she called for a new investigation to uncover how he died.The community has chosen to focus on its stand against segregation as it commemorates the 80th anniversar...

A un año de que eliminaron Roe vs. Wade: así sobreviven los médicos a la persecución al aborto

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 17:17:00 GMT

AUSTIN – Miedo, desconcierto e impotencia son sentimientos que han predominado durante el último año en las consultas de obstetras y ginecólogos en muchos lugares de Estados Unidos por las leyes que han restringido el acceso al aborto, que afectan a los profesionales de la salud que atienden a mujeres.Después de que el Tribunal Supremo del país acabara el 24 de junio de 2022 con la protección del aborto a nivel federal, han surgido numerosas leyes estatales que lo prohíben y amenazan a los médicos con duras penas como la cárcel o la retirada de la licencia para trabajar.“Como médico, tengo las manos atadas. Cuando estoy interactuando con un paciente, no estoy diciendo cuál es la mejor atención médica, sino que tengo que preguntar qué creen mis legisladores que está bien”, cuenta en una entrevista Amna Dermish, ginecóloga obstetra.Trabaja para la organización Planned Parenthood, el mayor proveedor de servicios reproductivos del país, y durante los últimos meses ha e...
