Fracasan los proyectos de ley antiaborto en Nebraska y Carolina del Sur, controlados por el Partido Republicano

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:51:21 GMT

Washington (CNN) — Las medidas que habrían restringido severamente el aborto fracasaron este jueves en Nebraska y Carolina del Sur, que tienen legislaturas controladas por los republicanos, un reflejo del creciente malestar entre los republicanos por la popularidad política de las prohibiciones estrictas.En Nebraska, una “Ley del Latido del Corazón” habría prohibido la mayoría de los abortos después de las seis semanas, excepto en casos de violación o incesto o para preservar la vida de la madre una vez detectado el “latido del corazón del feto”, pero se estancó en la legislatura.La votación para superar el obstruccionismo fracasó por 32 votos a favor y 15 en contra, con la abstención de dos senadores, entre ellos el senador estatal republicano Merv Riepe, lo que dejó la medida a un voto de la mayoría de dos tercios necesaria para su consideración. Riepe, cofirmante del proyecto de ley, había propuesto una enmienda para trasladar la prohibición a 12 sem...

Liverpool not ‘out of the woods’ despite winning streak

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:51:21 GMT

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Liverpool is on a winning streak and talking about European soccer again.Jurgen Klopp cautioned, though, that his team isn’t “out of the woods” yet in what’s been a disappointing season.Liverpool can make it four wins in a row Sunday when Tottenham visits Anfield as both teams fight to keep their slim top-four hopes alive.The Merseyside club has played in the lucrative Champions League six consecutive years but extending that streak would require a collapse by either Newcastle or Manchester United.“This is obviously a season where a lot of things were difficult for a lot of teams,” Klopp said Friday. “We have had our problems, Chelsea has their problems, Tottenham has their problems. It’s uncool for us (and) it opens the door for other teams.”The second-tier Europa League is a more likely landing spot, and the German manager said he’d be “absolutely fine” with that.“We take what we get,” Klopp said. “The season taught us a few things.

Brazil’s Lula resumes recognition of Indigenous land areas

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:51:21 GMT

BRASÍLIA (AP) — Brazil President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Friday granted official recognition of nearly 800 square miles of Indigenous lands, following through on a campaign promise in a move that also protects critical Amazon rainforest from commercial exploitation.Lula recognized six ancestral lands. The two largest are in the Amazon, the world’s largest tropical forest and an important carbon sink that helps moderate climate change. The total area of recognized lands in the biome is 161,500 hectares (620 square miles). The land remains under the federal government’s jurisdiction, but the designation grants Indigenous peoples the right to use it in their traditional manner. Mining activities are prohibited, and commercial farming and logging require specific authorizations. Additionally, non-Indigenous individuals are forbidden from engaging in any economic activity on Indigenous lands.Lula’s action was welcomed by the Indigenous movement, but not without som...

Q&A: 6lack returns to music after prioritizing mental health

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:51:21 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — 6lack was on a hot streak, dishing out Grammy-worthy work and being featured on songs with music’s elite including Elton John, Calvin Harris and J Cole. But while the singer-rapper was riding high, he neglected one important element: His mental health.As a result, 6lack’s reluctance to resolve past issues and his ongoing depression — which was heightened during the pandemic — eventually rocked his mental state so hard that he struggled to create even one song. After much-needed constructive criticism from his partner, 6lack decided to step away from music and seek therapy following his critically acclaimed 2018 release “East Atlanta Love Letter.”With his first project in five years, 6lack (which is pronounced as Black) explores self-love, his healing and the journey to finding true happiness in life. His third studio album “Since I Have a Lover” was released late March. This week, the three-time Grammy nominated artist announced a North American and Europe concert...

Italy ends probe of alleged aid to pro-Russia politicians

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:51:21 GMT

ROME (AP) — Milan prosecutors have dropped their investigation of Italian lobbyists who allegedly sought Russian funding for right-wing leader Matteo Salvini’s pro-Moscow party.State TV said investigators concluded that they had no grounds to continue the probe into alleged illegal party financing involving three Italians, including a close associate of Salvini, the leader of the League party, a coalition partner in Italy’s right-wing government.The alleged scheme aimed to buy oil at a discount from Rosneft, a Russian energy company, then sell it at full price to Italian energy giant ENI. Some $64 million in hoped-for profit would have allegedly ended up in great part in the League’s coffers, prosecutors had hypothesized. But Milan daily Corriere della Sera reported Friday that prosecutors concluded no such deal ever came to fruition. That, plus “total” lack of Russian cooperation with investigators, convinced prosecutors to shelve the probe, which looked into talks by the lobbyists...
