ANÁLISIS | Putin apuesta por un apoyo vacilante a Ucrania, en medio de una carrera contra el tiempo

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 09:00:55 GMT

(CNN) — ¿Cómo termina la guerra en Ucrania? A principios de este año, el expresidente Donald Trump se jactó de que, si fuera reelegido, “habría resuelto esa guerra en un día, en 24 horas”.El presidente de Rusia, Vladimir Putin, está haciendo un pronóstico un poco menos ambicioso: si las cosas salen como él quiere, la guerra puede terminar en una semana.En declaraciones el pasado jueves en la reunión anual del Club de Discusión Valdai, una confabulación amiga del Kremlin sobre temas globales, Putin predijo que Ucrania colapsaría si Occidente cerrara los grifos de la ayuda militar y la asistencia económica.“En general, la economía ucraniana no puede existir sin apoyo externo”, dijo. “Una vez que detengas esto, todo terminará en una semana. Se acaba. Lo mismo se aplica al sistema de defensa: imaginen que los suministros se detendrán mañana; solo tendrá una semana de vida cuando se acaben las municiones”.Estos comentarios fueron quizás la articulación más clara de Putin hasta la f...

Last call from Israel festival attack: ‘I heard only gunshots, screams and Arabic’

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 09:00:55 GMT

ASHKELON, Israel — Near Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip, terror and confusion reign. As POLITICO arrives at the cataclysmic scene, parents hunt desperately for their missing children and demand retribution against the Hamas terrorists who perpetrated a bloodbath of monstrous proportions. Israel has been in a state of emergency since Iranian-backed Hamas militants stormed out of the Gaza Strip at dawn on Saturday and unleashed a lethal assault on civilians, leaving more than 700 Israelis confirmed dead and 2,150 wounded.It was the “largest civilian massacre” in Israeli history, army spokesman Doron Spielman tells POLITICO. Sunday morning, we fly aboard a Ryanair jet from Berlin into Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion airport on one of the few commercial flights to Israel that has not been canceled. Typically vibrant and bustling, the city — which has come under fire from Palestinian rocket attacks — has been turned into a ghost town. Driving south from Tel Aviv toward ...

Israel intensifies its strikes and vows to besiege Gaza as it scours south for Hamas fighters

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 09:00:55 GMT

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s military scoured the country’s south for Hamas fighters, guarded breaches in its border fence and pounded the Gaza Strip from the air on Monday as it vowed to lay total siege to the impoverished, Hamas-ruled territory in the wake of an unprecedented weekend incursion.More than two days after Hamas launched its surprise attack from Gaza, the military said the fighting had largely died down for now. Israel’s vaunted military and intelligence apparatus was caught completely off guard, bringing heavy battles to its streets for the first time in decades.Israel formally declared war on Sunday, portending greater fighting ahead, and a possible ground assault into Gaza — a move that in the past has brought intensified casualties. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to destroy “the military and governing capabilities” of the militant group, which is deeply rooted in Gaza.As Israel hit more than 1,000 targets in Gaza and its tan...

Fall is in full force as crisp, dry air swept in yesterday and has some staying power this week. That means quite a few days featuring highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s.

Saturday afternoon, into Sunday looks like the highest rain risk with a chilly ocean breeze kicking in.

Nobel economics prize goes to Harvard professor for advancing the understanding of the workplace gender gap

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 09:00:55 GMT

STOCKHOLM (AP) — The Nobel economics prize was awarded Monday to Claudia Goldin, a professor at Harvard University, for research that has advanced the understanding of the gender gap in the labor market.The announcement went a tiny step to closing the Nobel committee’s own gender gap: Goldin is just the third woman to win the prize out of 93 economics laureates.She has studied 200 years of women’s participation in the workplace, showing that despite continued economic growth, women’s pay did not continuously catch up to men’s and a divide still exists despite women gaining higher levels of education than men.“Understanding women’s role in the labor market is important for society. Thanks to Claudia Goldin’s groundbreaking research, we now know much more about the underlying factors and which barriers may need to be addressed in the future,” said Jakob Svensson, chair of the Committee for the Prize in Economic Sciences.Goldin does not offer solutions, but her resear...

Four things we learned from the Orioles’ second straight home loss to the Rangers in the ALDS

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 09:00:55 GMT

Asked whether receiving a day off Monday will help the Orioles reset ahead of their third playoff game, catcher Adley Rutschman answered honestly. He doesn’t know — he hasn’t been in this situation before.“We’re going to see,” he said. “This is my first time doing this postseason thing.”The young Orioles saw growing pains in their first two postseason games, dropping both to the Rangers at home to go down 2-0 in the best-of-five American League Division Series. If they want to keep their memorable season alive, they’ll need to win three straight games, including two in Texas starting Tuesday, to do so.Here’s what we learned from a long Sunday at Oriole Park.A 2-0 deficit comes quick when the little things go wrongThe Orioles did a lot of the big things right this past weekend. They did not commit an error. They struck out 16 hitters Saturday, a franchise record for a nine-inning postseason game. They racked up 14 ...
