Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:11:45 GMT

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — The European Union’s executive body raised its economic growth forecast, saying Europe had dodged a winter recession that was feared amid an energy crisis but warning that stubbornly high inflation is likely to keep hurting the economy by sapping people’s ability to spend. The outlook for the 20 countries using the euro currency improved to growth of 1.1% this year from 0.9% in the previous predictions in February, the European Commission said in its spring forecast Monday.The European economy “is holding up remarkably well in the face of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine,” said commission Executive Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis in a statement.Europe had faced expectations of a winter energy catastrophe after Russia cut off most supplies of natural gas to the continent amid the war in Ukraine. Prices surged to record highs for gas needed to heat homes, generate electricity and power factories — spurring painful spikes in consumer pri...

UU. han “experimentado una caída del 50% en la cantidad de encuentros”, en comparación con principios de semana, cuando los encuentros a lo largo de la frontera sur de EE.UU. eran de alrededor de 10.000 migrantes por día.El fin del Título 42 traj...

La ciudad de Nueva York planea alojar temporalmente a migrantes en hoteles de otros condados. Dos condados interpusieron una demanda para impedirlo

(CNN) — Tras el anuncio la semana pasada del alcalde de Nueva York, Eric Adams, de que la ciudad trasladará temporalmente en autobús a algunos migrantes a hoteles de condados cercanos, las autoridades de los condados de Orange y Rockland presentaron demandas judiciales para intentar detener el plan, incluso cuando ya han llegado algunos migrantes.Los condados también emitieron órdenes ejecutivas que prohíben la llegada de migrantes y solicitantes de asilo.Una de las demandas presentadas ante el tribunal estatal del condado de Orange, obtenida por CNN, alega que el plan de la ciudad excede su autoridad, viola una orden ejecutiva del condado y pasa por alto los requisitos de autorización de los refugios. Se pide al tribunal que emita una orden judicial preliminar que bloquee el plan de la ciudad mientras el procedimiento esté pendiente.Los funcionarios del condado de Orange “se oponen a los intentos ilegales y equivocados de los Demandados de la Ciudad de gestionar sus car...
