Estos conflictos latentes también reflejan una nación dividida en torno a su identidad cultural y política, y muestran cómo a veces pequeños cambios en el equilibrio de poder pueden tener consecuencias trascendentales.En Wisconsin, uno de los estados más reñidos en las últimas elecciones presidenciales, una jueza liberal se impuso este martes en la carrera por un puesto en el Tribunal Supremo del estado, en una victoria que podría restablecer el derecho al aborto en el estado y dar ...

FORT PIERCE Fla. (WSVN) — A Fort Pierce resident was hospitalized after being bitten by a shark while surfing. On March 12, Matt Picarelli was in the water and suddenly felt a strong bite on his foot. He looked down to see a large shark swimming away from him.“I saw the shark after it bit me,” said Picarelli. “It was a surreal experience. There was a big animal next to me, coming towards me, and then once it bit me, it took a chomp out of my foot and immediately left.”After being pulled out of the water, Picarelli received help from bystanders who applied pressure to the wound and provided water.

Swedish investigators: ‘Difficult’ to confirm who blew up Nord Stream

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 12:19:44 GMT

It will be “difficult” to confirm who was behind last year’s attacks on the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea, Swedish authorities investigating the incident said.In a statement Thursday, Mats Ljungqvist, the prosecutor leading the Swedish investigation, said his team hoped “to be able to confirm who has committed this crime,” but that the circumstances were “difficult to investigate.”Ljungqvist said it was still most likely that a state actor was responsible for the incident. “We don’t rule out anything, but that it is a state actor who is directly or at least indirectly behind this is of course our absolute main scenario,” he said.He also cautioned that the incident had “become an open arena for different influence attempts.”Explosions on the undersea pipelines in September 2022 caused severe damage, and triggered separate investigations in three different countries. The pipelines connect Russia and Germany.The incident, which Swedish authorities have p...

Fear of economic ‘lost decade’ hangs over world leaders in Washington

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 12:19:44 GMT

WASHINGTON – Global finance ministers and central bankers will descend on Washington in the coming days amid economic turmoil that could tip the world into recession. And they will struggle to mount a coordinated response.The war in Ukraine, stubbornly high inflation, rising interest rates, a fragile banking system and slower growth in China are all looming threats.There are also growing tensions among nations, with wealthy countries furiously hiking interest rates to kill soaring prices but creating crushing debt burdens in the developing world. China is competing for influence with the U.S. and the EU, which are facing their own conflicts over trade. And Russia’s geopolitical role continues to sharply divide governments.“It’s going to be chaotic,” said Douglas Rediker, who represented the U.S. on the board of the International Monetary Fund from 2010 to 2012.Underscoring the budding fears, the World Bank last month warned of a looming “lost decade” for the economy that could sap m...
