CIUDAD DE MÉXICO – El presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador pidió este lunes no votar por el gobernador Ron DeSantis, aspirante republicano a la presidencia de Estados Unidos, ante la nueva ley antiinmigrantes que entró en vigor el sábado en Florida, estado que él gobierna.“Estamos en contra de la reforma migratoria de DeSantis, el gobernador de Florida, que está en contra de los migrantes, ni un voto a DeSantis, el que no quiere a su patria no quiere a su madre, ni un voto a quienes desprecian a los migrantes”, expresó el mandatario mexicano en su rueda de prensa diaria.López Obrador se refirió a la Ley SB 1718 en Florida, impulsada por DeSantis, que establece restricciones a indocumentados y que podría generar discriminación por “perfil racial” que afecten a otras personas.La nueva normativa obliga a las empresas de más de 25 empleados a usar un programa para verificar el estatus migratorio de cada uno y tipifica el viajar en un automóvil a través de las f...

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Newly signed Jahmai Jones hit a pinch-hit, three-run double in his first big league appearance since 2021, helping the Milwaukee Brewers rally for an 8-6 win over the Chicago Cubs on Monday.With the bases loaded and two outs in the seventh inning, Jones hit a line drive on the first pitch from reliever Anthony Kay that one-hopped off the center field wall and scored Raimel Tapia, Christian Yelich and Owen Miller, tying the game at 6.“The situation, bases loaded two outs, really honestly not trying to do too much,” Jones said. “Really just trying to keep it simple, try to keep it small with my approach and not get too big.“It’s something that you dream about, you dream about moments like this and being put in situations like this. And being able to help the team to do what they need to do to get a win, it’s the cherry on top.”Milwaukee signed the 25-year-old Jones as a free agent before the game to replace Brian Anderson, who went on the paternity list.

Britain is awash with failed prime ministers. It’s costing taxpayers a fortune

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:56:05 GMT

LONDON — After years of political turmoil, it’s boom time for at least one British industry: Demand for political bodyguards is through the roof.For the first time in modern history, the U.K. now has six living former prime ministers, all of whom continue to receive extensive — and expensive — security protection.With the ruling Conservatives on their fourth leader in as many years, and with the three most recently-departed — Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Liz Truss — visibly cashing in on the lucrative international speaking circuit for ex-prime ministers, some are raising questions about the mounting cost to U.K. taxpayers.Because every time an ex-prime minister travels abroad — even to earn themselves a six-figure sum for speaking at an obscure business conference — U.K. taxpayers are likely picking up the security tab.“It’s an industry, there is no other word for it,” Dai Davies, a former head of royal protection at the Met Police, said.The number of living ex-prime minist...

Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities are a growing threat to Europe

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:56:05 GMT

Behnam Ben Taleblu is a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. He is the author of “Arsenal: Assessing the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Ballistic Missile Program.”As Europe struggles to combat Iran’s drone proliferation to Russia for use against Ukraine, it can ill afford to ignore improvements to an even greater unmanned aerial threat that may soon land on its doorstep: the country’s ballistic missile arsenal — the largest in the Middle East.While Iran’s much reported potential transfer of short-range ballistic missiles to Russia is yet to materialize, the causal force behind this is likely not Tehran’s fear of transgressing some unwritten agreement that’s being secretly negotiated with Washington. Instead, the Islamic Republic may well be waiting for the termination of U.N. prohibitions on ballistic missile testing and transfers this October, before further arming Moscow with precision-strike systems.In fact, Iran may even want the move to be deemed “licit” to p...

After the riots, Macron must fix a broken France

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:56:05 GMT

PARIS — France is slowly catching its breath after days of large-scale urban unrest but a greater challenge looms for President Emmanuel Macron: How to tackle the root problems the riots have exposed.Macron has walked a thin line between showing empathy and sending out a message of toughness after a police officer shot and killed teenager Nahel M. last week, leading to days of riots. He flooded the streets with police officers in an effort to contain the violence.This weekend there were fewer arrests than on previous nights and the unrest appears to be waning, at least temporarily.But the series of incidents have fanned the flames around police brutality and the treatment of racial minorities into a broader, violent rejection of French institutions.Overnight on Saturday, attackers rammed a car into the house of the local mayor in L’Haÿ-les-Roses, a suburb south of Paris, injuring the official’s wife as she tried to flee with her young children.Elsewhere in France, the violence...

Orioles unable to hold early 3-run lead against Yankees, allow tiebreaking 3-run homer in 8th in 6-3 loss

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:56:05 GMT

A Baltimore offense that was silent for much of the latter half of its latest homestand hoped Sunday’s eighth-inning rally would spark a turnaround. That seemed to be the case for the first third of Monday’s game at Yankee Stadium.But the lineup’s inability to produce returned for the rest of what became a 6-3 loss to the New York Yankees to open the final road trip before the All-Star break. Unable to hold an early three-run lead, the Orioles (49-34) are only three games above New York for the American League’s top wild-card spot.The Yankees (46-39) plated four runs over their final two offensive innings, rallying against three of Baltimore’s most dependable bullpen arms. With the Orioles leading by a run in the seventh, Mike Baumann left two in scoring position for Yennier Cano, who was a pitch away from escaping before an 0-2 sinker went to the backstop and evened the game. Danny Coulombe inherited a runner from Cano in the eighth and allowed another...
