Lenín Moreno (Movimiento Alianza PAIS) y Guillermo Lasso (CREO-SUMA) ganaron cada uno en cinco de las diez ciudades con más sufragantes. Lasso triunfó en Guayaquil, Quito, Ambato, Riobamba y Loja, mientras Moreno lo hizo en Cuenca, Santo Domingo, Portoviejo, Machala y Manta.

Las mayores votaciones se registraron para Lasso en Loja, con el 64,75% y a favor de Moreno en Manta, con el 74,62%.

El mayor ausentismo se dio en Cuenca, con el 21,90% y el menor en Portoviejo, con el 13,15%. Sin embargo, cabe destacar que aunque Quito es la segunda ciudad con mayor número de empadronados, fue la primera con mayor cantidad de sufragantes, superando a Guayaquil en 23.946 electores. (I)

El periodista Douglas Sánchez se incorporará a Noticias Repretel el próximo lunes 7 de agosto como presentador habitual del noticiero del mediodía de canal 6, que se transmite de 12 m. a 1:30 p. m.

Sánchez regresará a la televisora de La Uruca a tres meses de su salida de Giros, programa al que renunció para atender sus otros compromisos laborales. En la revista matutina del 6 integró el equipo de presentadores durante un año y dos meses.

ADEMÁS: Douglas Sánchez volverá a ser rostro de Repretel canal 6

El regreso del periodista a Repretel fue confirmado en exclusiva a Viva por el presidente de la televisora, Fernando Contreras, el 14 de junio pasado; empero, en aquel momento aún no se concretaba la fecha de la reincorporación del comunicador.

Douglas Sánchez fue presentador de la revista ‘Giros’ durante año y dos meses. Salió del programa en abril pasado.

Fue hasta este martes 1°. de agosto que Gilberto Valencia, quien coordinó el ingreso de Sánchez a ese canal, dijo a Viva que el periodista iniciaría sus funciones como presentador el próximo lunes.

Respecto a su ingreso, Sánchez manifestó estar ilusionado, pues destaca el trabajo en equipo que hay en el noticiero, al que ahora aportará su dinámico estilo de presentar noticias, el mismo que implementó en el desaparecido Canal 9 y por el que se popularizó.

“Hay un elemento de Noticias Repretel que me gusta mucho, y lo digo con toda honestidad: veo toda una estrategia de cohesión, de trabajo en equipo y eso me emociona. El principal reto ahora es que la gente se acostumbre al consumo de una noticia contada de una forma distinta”, aseveró Sánchez, de 38 años.

El vecino de Tibás asegura que su particular forma de presentar noticias fue lo que llamó la atención de los directivos de Repretel para ficharlo. “Justamente me buscaron porque quieren que ese estilo prevalezca y, yo, feliz. Cuido muy bien aquella información que pueda agregar a la noticia. Es una fórmula que si la ven en Colombia, Argentina o Chile da gusto ver la forma en que los presentadores de noticias aportan al público información valiosa e interactúan con la audiencia”, agregó.

Douglas Sánchez opinó que este estilo es necesario ante el embate de las redes sociales, que urgen a los presentadores de televisión establecer empatía con el público para lograr mantener la credibilidad y favorables números de audiencia.

“Estamos en un mercado donde competimos con las redes sociales, de ahí la necesidad de que en la televisión se rompa con esa formalidad de presentar (noticias). Hay que acercarse a las audiencias con mayor ritmo, con presentadores que le lleven el hilo a la noticia, que estén informados y que le busque diferentes aristas a un mismo acontecimiento”, consideró.

El periodista mencionó que se integra a Noticias Repretel con un objetivo claro: ofrecerle más contexto a las informaciones que recibe el público del noticiero y sumarle detalle. “Si queremos convencer al público de que vamos hacia una propuesta diferente, la gente tiene que vernos cercanos e informados. Es un poco el estilo que quiero impregnar y es la herencia de mi paso por las noticias”, afirmó.

En relación con su pronto regreso a la pantalla y a la falta de tiempo que demandó con su renuncia a Giros –presentada el 17 de abril pasado– respondió: “En Giros estaba de 6:30 a. m. hasta las 10 a. m. y tenía gran parte del día ocupado. La mayoría de mis proyectos los realizo con equipos de India y Estados Unidos y no podía programar llamadas a ciertas horas. Aquí estamos hablando de un trabajo de hora y media, y me resulta más fácil acomodarme”.

También aclaró que su aparición en mayo en el programa de espectáculos de Teletica De boca en boca, fue en respuesta a una invitación de la exdirectora del espacio Gabriela Solano, y no representó un coqueteo con esa empresa.

“La invitación me la hizo Gabriela Solano y no fue en ese momento. Me buscaron casi inmediato a mi salida a Giros pero por respeto y porque no me gusta que un día me vean en un canal y al otro día en otro, pedí que me dieran chance, pero siempre se manejó como invitación. Con Teletica nunca ha habido un ofrecimiento donde me digan: ‘Mirá, te vamos a ofrecer esto’. Ha quedado mucho en el pasillo. Yo asumí un reto en concreto y una oportunidad concreta que Repretel puso sobre la mesa”, terminó el periodista.

Jerusalem (CNN)Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be charged with bribery, fraud and breach of trust arising from three separate corruption investigations, pending a hearing, according to a source with direct knowledge of the decision by Israel’s attorney general.

The bitter race for New Jersey governor didn’t end on Election Day.

In a shocker, the contest, once seen as a shoo-in for Gov. Phil Murphy, remained too close to call early Wednesday morning, with results so far showing the Democratic governor and Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli less than a percentage point apart as the clock passed midnight.

Both campaigns cleared out of their Election Night parties with neither declaring victory or conceding, and it’s possible a winner may not be known for a day or so.

Just after 2:30 a.m., with 87% of the vote in, Ciattarelli was leading Murphy by about 1,600 votes, according to totals from the Associated Press. Each candidates were carrying about 49.6% of the vote at that time.

But thousands of votes — especially from Democratic-leaning areas — have yet to be counted. It’s unclear how many are vote-by-mail or provisional ballots that still have to be tallied.

N.J. ELECTION 2021: Local and state results

“We’re gonna have to wait a little while longer than we hoped,” Murphy told supporters in Asbury Park in a brief speech just after midnight. “We’re gonna wait for every vote to be counted. That’s how our democracy works.”

“We’re all sorry that tonight cannot yet be the celebration we wanted it to be,” added the governor, who is seeking a second term. “But when every vote is counted — and every vote will be counted — we hope to have a celebration.”

Ciattarelli, a former member of the state Assembly, said “we want every legal vote to be counted.”

“I wanted to come out here tonight because I prepared one hell of a victory speech,” he told supporters in Bridgewater around the same time Murphy spoke. “I wanted to come out here tonight because we won. But I’m here to tell you that we’re winning.”

The race was far closer than a series of polls had predicted. Though Murphy saw his once-hefty double-digit lead disappear in recent polls, most surveys in recent days showed Murphy up anywhere from 4 to 11 percentage points. Ciattarelli never led in any public-opinion poll.

Murphy also had the advantage of registered Democrats outnumbering Republicans by more than 1 million in New Jersey. The state had become increasingly bluer in recent years as part of a backlash against Republican former President Donald Trump.

“You know those polls?” Ciattarelli told supporters Wednesday morning. “There’s only one poll that matters.”

Early results showed Ciattarelli drawing large totals in Republican strongholds, such as Monmouth and Ocean counties, while doing well in suburban areas that swung blue in recent years. In Ocean, he even outperformed the results of the last Republican governor, Chris Christie, in 2009.

Meanwhile, Murphy was underperforming in areas of the state he won in 2017, including Bergen, Gloucester, and Middlesex counties.

Murphy, who has pushed the state in a more progressive direction, is aiming to become the first Democrat in 44 years to be re-elected New Jersey’s governor. Brendan Byrne was the last to do so, in 1977.

Ciattarelli is trying to return the governor’s office to the Republican Party four years after Murphy succeeded the term-limited Christie.

A Ciattarelli win would send a jolt through state and national politics as Republicans seek to win back Congress next year.

”The great news, guys, is we have sent the message to the people of New Jersey,” Ciattarelli said Wednesday morning. “And although it was not my intention, we have sent the message to the entire country.”

New Jersey was one of only two states to hold a gubernatorial election this year. The other was Virginia, where Republican Glenn Youngkin defeated Democratic former Gov. Terry McAuliffe.

Both races had national overtones. President Joe Biden’s approval ratings have dropped in recent months, which threatened to dampen Democratic turnout in New Jersey, a state the Democratic president won by 16 percent points last year. A Monmouth University poll from last month found Biden’s approval numbers underwater in the Garden State.

Republicans, meanwhile, boasted of strong enthusiasm and momentum heading into Election Day. That’s even as Murphy tried to link Ciattarelli to Trump, who remains popular with the Republican base but is widely unpopular in Democratic-leaning New Jersey.

The entire New Jersey Legislature was also on the ballot Tuesday, but many of those races have yet to be called, either. Republicans appeared poised to pick up a few seats, though Democrats are likely to retain control of both chambers, the Senate and the Assembly.

The state’s voting setup changed substantially from last year. Instead of pretty much all mail-in ballots, people could vote by mail, vote early in person, or show up at the polls on Tuesday.

Election officials disclosed Monday that about 700,000 of New Jersey’s 6.57 million registered voters had cast their ballots by mail or early voting as of Sunday. That may have contributed to inconclusive results during the early going.

“Reporting is slower than usual due in part to more (and larger) equipment having to be transported back to the Board of Elections,” said Angela Rosa, deputy clerk in Sussex.

    The K9 unit at Pasco County Sheriff’s Office has joined in on the search for Brian Laundrie, the sole person of interest in the Gabby Petito case.

    The agency said Thursday that they are assisting North Port police, the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office and FBI at the Carlton Reserve. “K9 Diesel” is trained to detect human remains, officials said.

    “It’s important to note that the K9 trainer drives a vehicle that says ‘Arson Investigation’ on it, but they have not requested our arson K9 or investigators. This trainer simply helps train our HRD K9s,” according to a statement by the sheriff’s office.

    The K9 involved is handled by a Pasco County forensic investigator.

    The view from SkyFOX showed the team on the ground in the preserve Thursday afternoon.

    Brian remains missing, despite several weeks of searching in Sarasota County. One week ago, Brian’s dad, Chris, spent three hours with investigators at the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park, where the family thinks Brian was heading before he disappeared.

    READ: Gabby Petito’s cause of death ruled strangulation; body was outside up to 4 weeks, Wyoming coroner says

    Brian has not been named a suspect, but he is wanted on a federal warrant for unauthorized use of her card. When the FBI announced the charges last month, they said a Capital One Bank card was used between Aug. 30 and Sept. 1, taking more than $1,000.

    Brian’s family reported him missing on Friday, Sept. 17, saying they believed he left home on Tuesday, Sept. 14 in his silver Ford Mustang. However, last week, his parents backtracked, saying they now believe the day Brian left for his hike in the Carlton Reserve on Monday, Sept. 13.

    This week, the coroner in Teton, Wyoming revealed Gabby died by strangulation. Dr. Brent Blue revealed that it was estimated Gabby had been killed 3-4 weeks before her body was discovered, meaning she was likely killed shortly after August 25 when she made her last FaceTime call to her mom and her final social media post.

    Investigators are still asking the public for help in locating Brian. They say he is a white male, 5-foot-8 and weighing 160 pounds. He has brown eyes, very short brown hair, trimmed facial hair, and was last seen wearing a hiking bag with a waist strap.  

    Anyone with information is asked to call 1-800-CALL-FBI.

    Los que lo conocen de la época en que todavía era Jorge Bergoglio aseguran que, para cuando hizo el famoso viaje del 2013, ya lo tenía decidido: un retiro tranquilo, en una parroquia de Flores. La sorpresiva elección posterior, que lo coronó como el primer Papa argentino, parece que no cambió mucho su determinación. Si Benedicto XVI lo hizo, porqué no él. Ahora el enigmático Francisco puso otro ladrillo sobre la catedral de rumores que construye desde hace tiempo: “Todos los pastores debemos despedirnos”, dijo en la homilía de hoy. NOTICIAS lo había anticipado.

    Desde la capilla de Santa Marta, la residencia dentro del Vaticano en la cual vive, el Papa dejó varias definiciones que podrían pronosticar su futuro. “El verdadero pastor sabe despedirse bien de su Iglesia, porque sabe que no es el centro de la historia, sino un hombre libre, que ha servido sin componendas y sin apropiarse de la grey”, aseguró el argentino. Las palabras no son casualidad: es el pasaje que eligió de la Biblia para la homilía de la fecha, una extracción del quinto libro del Nuevo Testamento, Hechos de los Apóstoles. Ese texto narra la despedida de San Pablo de la iglesia de Éfeso, que él mismo había fundado. “Se podría llamar ‘despedida de un obispo’”, aseguró el Papa sobre el capítulo que leyó.

    “Todos los pastores debemos despedirnos. Llega el momento en que el Señor nos dice: ve a otra parte, ve allá, ven aquí, ven a mí. Y uno de los pasos que debe hacer un pastor también es prepararse para despedirse bien, no despedirse a medias. El pastor que no aprende a despedirse lo hace porque tiene algún lazo no bueno con su grey, un lazo que no está purificado por la Cruz de Jesús. Una de las cosas que dará tanta paz al pastor cuando se despide es acordarse de que jamás fue un pastor de componendas, que no se echó para atrás. Para esto se necesita valor”, dijo Francisco.

    Para cerrar también fue categórico: “Con este ejemplo tan bello (el de San Pablo), recemos por los pastores, por los párrocos, por los obispos, por el Papa, para que sus vidas sean vidas sin compromisos, una vida en camino, y una vida en donde ellos no se crean que están en el centro de la historia y así aprendan a despedirse”.

    Emergency medical responders in New Orleans have been hit so hard by the resurgence in Covid-19 cases that the city doesn’t have the capacity to handle 911 calls, the mayor said Friday as she announced a new mask mandate and a contract to increase EMS resources.

    “Thanks to the Delta variant, the Covid pandemic is once again raging out of control.” New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said at a news conference.

    “We have been here before; we’ve seen the movie. … What was once unpreventable, today is preventable. And it’s through our people getting vaccinated.”

    Over the past week, the city saw more than 1,000 new Covid-19 cases, Cantrell said. And the daily case average also spiked to 272, up from 104 last week, she said.

    “This is a very dangerous number,” she said. “Our children are dying. From two weeks old to two years old to four years old. You cannot make it up. Our children are dying.”

    The mayor’s mask mandate is effective immediately and applies to indoor settings and large outdoor crowds. The mayor is also requiring all city employees to get vaccinated.

    More than 71% of New Orleans city employees are vaccinated, but that is not good enough, Cantrell said.

    “You really need that mask on, period – whether you are vaccinated and, of course, if you are unvaccinated,” she said.

    As for the EMS, Cantrell said, “We currently do not have the capacity to respond to 911 calls that come from our community right now.”

    With only 36.8% of Louisiana’s population fully vaccinated, the state saw the country’s highest case rate per 100,000 people over the past week at 573.3 cases, federal health shows.

    The state’s seven-day death rate per 100,000 people is 1.7, the third-highest in the nation, with Nevada being the highest and Arkansas in second, according to the federal data published Friday.

    The rise in cases has pushed Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards to seriously consider a mask mandate.

    “The Delta variant is a game-changer, and at this point, it’s not whether we vaccinate or mask, we have to do both,” Edwards said Friday at a news conference.

    “Right now at least 83.7% of all the Covid cases in our region is a result of the Delta variant, and so anyone who is Covid positive in Louisiana should assume that it is from the Delta variant, and ultimately you have to take the same precautions, regardless,” he said.

    The variant has been spreading throughout the country, alarming health officials. Safety restrictions and mask guidances are making a return as cases rose by at least 10% in nearly every US state in the last week, according to Johns Hopkins University data.

    The variant spreads quicker and more easily than the first coronavirus strain and can infect fully vaccinated people whose symptoms are usually milder.

    And with lagging vaccination numbers, children are bearing the brunt of new cases.

    Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is experiencing a spike in Covid-19 cases now that is twice what they saw in the pandemic’s initial surge last year, said Dr. Trey Dunbar, the hospital’s president.

    “We’ve seen over the past couple of weeks a pretty dramatic increase,” Dunbar told CNN by phone Friday. “A good number more of children are requiring hospitalization.”

    The hospital is currently treating seven Covid-19 patients, but Dunbar estimated eight to 12 patients are being admitted per day. The hospital is up to about six admissions per day with about 50% of those patients going to the ICU, according to Dunbar.

    Meanwhile, Louisiana’s Caddo Parish will require everyone to wear masks in its facilities and buildings starting Monday. According to the state health department, 32% of the parish’s population is fully vaccinated.

    1. Trump busca pleito con Alemania

    En 2013, cuando la noticia de que Estados Unidos había estado espiando a Alemania durante varios años fue revelada, Angela Merkel envió un mensaje firme pero conciliador al presidente Obama: “los amigos no se espían”.

    En ese momento los expertos en Seguridad de Estados Unidos defendieron la vigilancia que realizaba la Agencia Nacional de Seguridad dejando claro que la amistad podría modificarse por cualquier otro tipo de suceso y no exclusivamente por el espionaje. El argumento fue desestimado por Berlín ya que, dijeron fuentes oficiales, los lazos que los mantienen unidos durante muchos años forman parte de la diplomacia internacional.

    Ahora con la nueva admistración la impensable ruptura que se vislumbraba en aquellos años, parece rea, ya que en las últimas semanas el presidente Trump ha arremetido en contra de Alemania.

    2. ¿Por qué el Panda Show se escuchará por Radio Red FM y no en La Z?

    Vuelve al micrófono José Antonio Zambrano y el Panda Show. Ahora será el Grupo Radio Centro quien le abra un espacio al que ha sido uno de los programas más populares en toda la historia de la radio mexicana, pero también uno de los más cuestionados por su tipo de contenido y uno de los más sancionados por la Secretaría de Gobernación.

    Radio Red FM, en los 92.1 MHz, será la nueva casa del Panda Show a partir del 1 de junio en el horario que va de las 20 a las 22 horas, una estación que históricamente ha sido identificada por los oyentes por sus contenidos noticiosos, pero que por estos días, como otras emisoras, es objeto de los recambios que Radio Centro está haciendo con varias de sus estaciones para mantenerse competitivo y del que este concepto de entretenimiento en radio ahora es parte clave.

    3. En su defensa, Eva Cadena se lanza contra Morena

    Eva Cadena, diputada local del estado de Veracruz, se dijo víctima de linchamiento político y acusó que Morena incurre al igual que otros partidos políticos en prácticas irregulares de financiamiento público para apoyar las campañas políticas.
    En rueda de prensa, dijo que ha sido amenazada de muerte, que su partido la dejó sola y que presentará una denuncia sobre el financiamiento ilegal que se utiliza para campañas con recursos públicos del Congreso local.

    4. México y EU definen fecha límite para renegociación

    Para México y Estados Unidos lo más importante es que la aprobación de la renegociación de Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte quede concretada antes de que culmine la administración de Enrique Peña y evitar “sorpresas” ante el relevo del gobierno mexicano, como ocurrió con el mandatario Donald Trump, que echó abajo el Acuerdo de Asociación Transpacífico (TPP).
    Ildefonso Guajardo, secretario de Economía, informó a los integrantes de la Cámara de Comercio Internacional (ICC) en México, que el resultado de la reunión con su contraparte, Robert Lighthizer, es acelerar las negociaciones y concluirlas antes del 15 de diciembre y de esta forma haya el tiempo necesario para que ambos Congresos lo avalen, previo al cambio de gobierno en México.

    5. Sur-sureste, con el nivel más bajo de ingresos

    El sur-sureste del país es la región del país con los niveles de ingresos más bajos de la población ocupada, integrada por Oaxaca, Guerrero, Veracruz, Chiapas, Yucatán, Tabasco, Quintana Roo y Campeche.
    Al cierre del primer trimestre de este año, 51.7% de los ocupados de esta zona gana hasta dos salarios mínimos (160.1 pesos diarios y 4,802.4 pesos mensuales); le siguen, de forma descendente, centro, con 44.1%; centro – occidente, con 39.1%, y norte, con 32.5%, de acuerdo con datos del Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (Inegi).

    El sur–sureste, en el periodo de referencia, cuenta con 11.2 millones de personas ocupadas; después del grupo que gana menos, continúa el de más de dos hasta tres salarios mínimos (16.2%), el que no recibe ingresos (11.9%), más de tres hasta cinco salarios (9.7%), no especificado (7.0%) y más de cinco salarios (3.5 por ciento).

    The board of trustees for a public school district in Texas changed its dress code to include face masks in a bid to get around Gov. Greg Abbott’s ban on face mask mandates. 

    “The Board of Trustees is concerned about the health and safety of its students and employees. The Board believes the dress code can be used to mitigate communicable health issues, and therefore has amended the PISD dress code to protect our students and employees,” the Paris Independent School District said in a statement Tuesday

    The district added that Abbott does not have the authority “to usurp” the board’s “exclusive power and duty to govern and oversee the management of the public schools of the district.”

    TEXAS GOV. GREG ABBOTT SIGNS ORDER BANNING COVID VACCINE, MASK MANDATES

    “Nothing in the Governor’s Executive Order 38 states he has suspended Chapter 11 of the Texas Education Code, and therefore the Board has elected to amend its dress code consistent with its statutory authority,” the district continued. 

    Abbott signed an executive order last month banning mask mandates or COVID-19 vaccine requirements from government agencies and schools. 

    GOV. DUCEY BLOCKS MONEY TO ARIZONA SCHOOLS MANDATING MASKS

    “To further ensure that no governmental entity can mandate masks, the following requirement shall continue to apply: No governmental entity, including a county, city, school district, and public health authority, and no governmental official may require any person to wear a face-covering or to mandate that other person wear a covering,” the executive order read.

    “Today’s executive order will provide clarity and uniformity in the Lone Star State’s continued fight against COVID-19,” Abbott said of the order last month. 

    FLORIDA LEVIES FIRST PUNISHMENTS ON SCHOOLS FOR MASK MANDATES

    Abbott’s press secretary Renae Eze told Fox News later on Wednesday of the Paris Independent School District’s move: “We are all working to protect Texas children and those most vulnerable among us, but violating the Governor’s executive orders—and violating parental rights—is not the way to do it.”

    “Governor Abbott has been clear that the time for mask mandates is over; now is the time for personal responsibility. Under Executive Order GA-38, no governmental entity or school district can require or mandate the wearing of masks. There is no loophole. While a school district cannot mandate or prohibit masks, parents and guardians have the right to decide whether their child will wear a mask or not. The best defense against this virus is the COVID vaccines, and we continue to strongly encourage all eligible Texans to get vaccinated,” the statement added.

    The district’s move comes as other red states have banned mask requirements in schools, including in Florida, where the state board of education voted unanimously on Tuesday to sanction two public school districts that are mandating mask wearing in defiance of Gov. Ron DeSantis’s executive order.

    Kuwait City – The countries that participated this Wednesday (15) at the Second International Humanitarian Pledging Conference for Syria, in Kuwait City, have committed to donating more than US$ 2.4 billion this year. “This shows Syrians they have not been abandoned and sends a strong message to neighboring countries [which have harbored refugees] that they don’t have to carry this burden alone,” said the UN secretary-general, Ban Ki-moon, at the end of the meeting.

    Kuna

    Ban: Violence has to stop

     In the first edition of the conference, held one year ago, also in Kuwait, the sum raised reached US$ 1.5 billion. Ban urged the countries which have announced donations to make them soon, because the crisis is worse and so are the needs. According to him, the money will help UN agencies and other humanitarian aid entities fulfill the basic needs of those affected by the war in the following six months.

    The United Nations believes that the total amount necessary for the whole year is of US$ 6.5 billion, but the organization’s Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Valerie Amos, emphasized that needs are revised all the time and the figure may change. “It depends on what will happen [from now on in Syria], if necessary we’ll ask donors for more,” she declared.

    Amos stated that humanitarian aid institutions are always after resources, not only during events such as this. “We tell donors that the amount is relatively small in comparison to what is spent to save banks,” she stated, referring to the huge sums of money used to reestablish the international financial system since the financial crisis started in 2008.

    In this sense, Amos considered the conference a “success”. “But we do not want to have to organize a third conference,” she said. Currently 40% of the Syrian population has been affected by the war, there are 9.3 million people among refugees and those who have been dislocated inside Syria itself. “That is why I believe a political process [for peace negotiation] is so urgent,” she added.

    On January 22, in Montreux, Switzerland, a second attempt to start peace negotiations – the first was in June 2012, which was unsuccessful – shall be organized, this time, placing opposing sides of the conflict face to face. For Ban, the international community has to pressure the parties involved to start this political process, create a transition government and stop the violence. “Syrians want peace,” he emphasized. “[The conflict] is spreading instability throughout the region,” he added.

    Amos: Political process is urgent

     According to the UN secretary-general, however, Iran’s participation has not yet been confirmed, a key participant in the region’s geopolitics. There is resistance particularly from the United States, but Ban believes the Persian country’s participation “is important”. Also pending confirmation is the participation of the fragmented coalition in opposition to the Syrian president, Bashar Al Assad, regime. “The most important thing is to stop the violence,” emphasized Ban Ki-moon.

    It is clear to the UN and other participants in this Wednesday’s conference, that all parties involved in the conflict are to blame for the humanitarian crisis in Syria. According to Amos, it is very hard to provide assistance to about 2.5 million people inside the country, of which 240,000 are completely surrounded and besieged, 40,000 by opposing militants and 200,000 by the government itself. The very real possibility of starvation hangs in the air.

    One of the reasons why Syrian instability has spread to neighboring countries, particularly Lebanon, is the immense flow of refugees, estimated at 3 million people. “The responsibility of harboring refugees lies not only with neighbor countries, but with the international community,” said United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Antonio Guterrez. He urged countries around the world to help the entrance of Syrian refugees escaping the war. “It’s no use opening a door to find another one closed, we don’t want to see refugees drowning in the Mediterranean,” he stated.

    Brazil

    At the conference, the head of Business at the Brazilian Embassy in Kuwait, João Tabajara Júnior, said that the Brazilian government is going to be flexible in issuing visas for Syrian refugees.

    Alexandre Rocha/ANBA

    Guterrez urged countries to open their borders

     The diplomat also announced that Brazil is donating US$ 300,000 this year to the humanitarian aid efforts for those affected by the conflict. At the 2013 conference, the country promised US$ 250,000 – and not US$ 500,000 as was published by ANBA on a previous report – but had previously sent three US$ 120,000 installments for the assistance work carried out by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in camps in Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon.

    Among the donations announced are Sweden, with US$ 35 million. Germany is donating 30 million euro; South Korea, US$ 5 million; Japan, US$ 120 million; Ireland, US$ 16.3 million; Luxembourg, 5 million euro; and Oman is donating US$ 10 million.

    The greatest donor however, was the hosting country, Kuwait, with US$ 500 million. “Kuwait has become a global humanitarian center,” said Ban, who thanked the country’s emir, Sabah Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah.

    Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp certified the state’s presidential election results Friday in favor of President-elect Joe Biden — but called for another audit of the votes.

    Kemp told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution it was “completely unacceptable” that stashes of thousands of uncounted ballots were found in several counties during the manual hand recount after the initial results.

    After the hand recount, President Trump gained 888 votes, shrinking Biden’s lead slightly to 12,670 votes.

    Kemp, who has faced ire from Trump and other Republicans over the process and his decision to certify the results, said he understood Trump’s frustration.

    GEORGIA CERTIFIES JOE BIDEN VICTORY IN 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION 

    “He’s a fighter,” Kemp said. “But at the end of the day, I’ve got to follow the laws of the constitution of this state and that’s exactly what I’m doing.”

    The governor told the Journal-Constitution he’s legally bound by state law to certify the results given by Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger following the recount.

    Now that the results are certified, the Trump 2020 Campaign will have until Tuesday to request another recount, he said, because the vote is within a half-percent. The recount would be paid for by the state. 

    “I would just say I’m formalizing the certification, he said. “Now that Secretary Raffensperger certified, it triggers the ability of the Trump campaign to ask for the recount. If something were to happen, I’m still part of that process. So my take on all this is: I’m following the law and the rules.”

    GEORGIA’S FLOYD COUNTY FIRES ELECTION DIRECTOR AFTER FINDING UNCOUNTED BALLOTS 

    Kemp said he’s also been frustrated by the problems during the process.

    “But because I’ve been part of the process, I’ve had to be more guarded,” he told the newspaper. “I’m having to make sure I’m staying on firm legal footing for the official duties of the governor.”

    Kemp also asked Raffensperger to do a sample audit to compare voters’ signatures on mail-in ballots but the secretary of state has said that’s impossible at this point because the ballots are separated from the outer security envelope during the counting process, according to CBS News.

    Both officials have suggested adding a voter ID requirement for mail-in ballots in the future.

    “I’d be open to working with both bodies in the House and Senate, and the lieutenant governor and the speaker, as well on that,” Kemp told the Journal-Constitution. “Georgians deserve a process where the integrity of the vote is not a question – and certainly it is on a lot of people’s minds. That’s part of the issue of what’s going on right now.”

    Asked about what he’d tell Trump supporters frustrated with his actions, he said, “First of all, I’d tell them I am following the law. That’s what I told them I’d do when I took my oath. I’m frustrated with the outcome, but we’ve got to focus on the firewall in the U.S. Senate and voting Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler back to Washington to stop the drastic measures Democrats have embraced over the years.”

    Coloradans have created makeshift memorials after a mass shooting killed 10 people at a grocery store in Boulder on Monday.

    People placed flowers, messages and other mementos atop a police car at the Boulder Police Department on Tuesday in remembrance of fallen Officer Eric Talley, 51, who was first to arrive at the scene of the shooting and was killed in the line of duty.

    “Thank you #Boulder,” the Boulder Police Department tweeted Tuesday with a photo of the memorial. “Your kindness means more than we can say right now.”

    Homer Talley, 74, described his son as a devoted father who “knew the Lord.” He had seven children, ages 7 to 20.

    “We know where he is,” his father told The Associated Press from his ranch in central Texas. “He loved his family more than anything. He wasn’t afraid of dying. He was afraid of putting them through it.”

    The other dead ranged in age from 20 to 65. They were identified as Denny Stong, 20; Neven Stanisic, 23; Rikki Olds, 25; Tralona Bartkowiak, 49; Suzanne Fountain, 59; Teri Leiker, 51; Kevin Mahoney, 61; Lynn Murray, 62; and Jodi Waters, 65.

    “It’s my happy place. I wanted to bring as much happiness as I can to a place of mourning,” he told the outlet.

    Police on Tuesday identified Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 21, as the shooter, and charged him with 10 counts of murder.

    The attorney for Brian Laundrie’s family said Tuesday that all three members of the family camped at Fort De Soto Park in Pinellas County, Florida, one week before the 23-year-old went missing in early September.

    According to a report from WFLA, Attorney Steven Bertolino said the Laundrie family went camping from September 6 to September 8, before leaving the park together.

    The report comes one day after reality TV star Duane Chapman, otherwise known as “Dog the Bounty Hunter,” told Fox News that he believes Laundrie may have been hiding in Fort De Soto Park with assistance from his parents after he returned to Florida without his fiancée Gabby Petito.

    Laundrie, 23, has been named a person of interest in the disappearance of Petito, whose remains were found in Wyoming on September 19 after the two went on a cross-country road trip. Days after Petito’s body was found, the FBI ruled her death a homicide.

    Laundrie returned home to Florida without Petito on September 1, and was last seen on September 14. Three days later, his family reported him missing and told police they believed he went to Carlton Reserve, a nearly 25,000-acre preserve in Sarasota County.

    On Monday night, Chapman alleged that he received information that Laundrie instead fled to Fort De Soto park with his parents after he returned home. The reality TV star claimed that Laundrie and his parents, Roberta and Chris, entered the park on September 6, but that only two people left the park on September 8—leaving room for theories that Laundrie could still be located in the area.

    “They were registered, went through the gate. They’re on camera. They were here,” Chapman told Fox News on Monday evening. “We think at least if he’s not here right now, we are sure he was caught on camera as he went in the gate—that he was here for sure. Not over in the swamp.”

    “Allegedly, what we’re hearing, is two people left on the 8th. Three people came in on the 6th, and two people left on the 8th. I think he’s been here for sure,” Chapman added.

    Fort De Soto Park is a vast wilderness area located about 75 miles away from the Laundries’ home on Wabasso Avenue in North Port. With more than 1,130-acres, the park is the largest in the Pinellas County Park System and contains five interconnected islands.

    Laundrie and Petito have both previously visited the park in February, with Petito posting a photo of their trip on social media. The couple later posted a review of the park on the travel website The Dyrt, describing it as a “really nice campground, beautiful area with many hikes and easy walks, the beach, historic sites, really nice camp store and well maintained sites!.”

    Following Chapman’s allegations, a spokesperson from the Pinellas Sheriff’s Office told the Tampa Bay Times that police were not “not aware of any confirmed sightings of Brian” and were not conducting an investigation in Fort De Soto.

    Laundrie’s parents have vehemently denied any knowledge of or involvement in their son’s disappearance.

    “The speculation by the public and some in the press that the parents assisted Brian in leaving the family home or in avoiding arrest on a warrant that was issued after Brian had already been missing for several days is just wrong,” Bertolino previously said in a statement.

    Anyone with information on Laundrie’s whereabouts is asked to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or 303-629-7171.

    Newsweek has contacted the FBI for an update on the Petito case.

    Dejero, the award-winning creator of the industry’s most powerful and versatile platform of cellular newsgathering products, today announced that Noticias MundoFOX has adopted Dejero’s rugged and portable LIVE+ 20/20 Transmitters for its mobile news teams. As one of the newest Spanish-language television networks in the U.S., Noticias MundoFOX is building its entire electronic newsgathering (ENG) capability on the Dejero LIVE+ Platform.

    Using the Dejero LIVE+ 20/20 Transmitters, Noticias MundoFOX news crews are able to encode and transmit live or prerecorded, high-quality HD or SD video using any combination of 3G/4G/LTE cellular networks, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or satellite links. With this lightweight, portable equipment and a video camera, news teams can enter difficult-to-access areas and be ready to transmit in just a few minutes, all without the expense or specialized crew needed to operate a satellite newsgathering (SNG) or microwave truck. Additionally, the LIVE+ 20/20 Transmitters can go places trucks can’t — on a rooftop, inside a hotel, or next to a beach, for instance.

    “Budget is always a large consideration for a start-up news network. From the beginning, we’ve been committed to operating as cost-effectively as possible without compromising on the quality, immediacy, or completeness of our news coverage,” said Armando Acevedo, director of operations, Noticias MundoFOX. “The ability to cover live, breaking news from the source is a critical differentiator but can also be a major expense area, especially if the station has to maintain costly satellite vehicles. But the Dejero LIVE+ gear provides a powerful and cost-effective alternative that our news crews can carry right into the heart of the story.”

    MundoFOX has deployed a LIVE+ 20/20 Transmitter at each of its news bureaus in Mexico City, Washington D.C., Chicago, and New York City, with two Dejero LIVE+ Broadcast Servers installed in the network’s headquarters in Los Angeles. With feeds coming into the servers from the LIVE+ 20/20 Transmitters, operators can access the content and route it as required for playout to a live broadcast, or archive it for use in a later production.

    In its first year of operation, Noticias MundoFOX has used the LIVE+ 20/20 Transmitters for live HD coverage of some of the world’s most high-profile events, including the resignation of Pope Benedict and the subsequent election of Pope Francis, memorial events for Nelson Mandela, the election of President Obama to a second term, and the election of Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto.

    “The versatility of using portable satellite, bonded cellular, and Ethernet connections with the LIVE+ 20/20 Transmitters means that our lean news departments can be mobile and travel to where the news is breaking,” Acevedo added. “This brings a whole new level of excitement and immediacy to our newscasts that simply isn’t possible with traditional ENG trucks.”

      Sen. Joe ManchinJoe ManchinManchin isn’t ready to support Democrats passing infrastructure on their own The Hill’s 12:30 Report: Biden’s meeting with Queen Elizabeth II Progressives ramp up pressure on Schumer to nix filibuster MORE (D-W.Va.) said Thursday that he doesn’t yet support Democrats trying to go it alone to pass an infrastructure package, even as a growing number of his colleagues are running out of patience. 

      Manchin, during separate interviews in West Virginia with NBC and CNN, made it clear that he wants talks between the White House and Republicans, led by fellow West Virginia Sen.

      “We need to do something in a bipartisan way. … We’re not going to get everything but we can move forward,” Manchin told CNN. “These take time. I know everyone is in a hurry right now. … We’ve got to work together and that takes a lot of time and energy and patience.” 

      Asked during a separate interview with NBC News if Democrats should try to pass an infrastructure package on their own, Manchin added, “I don’t think we should. I really don’t.” 

      Manchin’s comments come as many of his Senate Democratic colleagues are ready for the White House to walk away from the talks with Capito, as the two sides remain far apart on the price tag for a potential agreement and how to pay for it.  

      “Best case: shrunk infrastructure bill w no serious climate stuff; Rs get bipartisan cred. Worst case: delay for nothing. Either way: climate to the curb,” Sen.

      Biden and Capito are expected to talk again on Friday, though some administration officials have suggested they could cut off talks as soon as next week.  

      Democrats have long acknowledged that they are likely to have to pass an infrastructure package without GOP support, something they can do under a budget process known as reconciliation.  

      But they need total unity in the Senate to use the fast-track process — something that cannot be achieved in a 50-50 Senate without Manchin. 

      Manchin told CNN that Capito was expected to give an update to a key group of moderate-minded senators, known as the G-20, next week. The group, he added, would look for ways they could “assist and help” the White House reach a deal on infrastructure with Republicans. 

      The White House initially viewed Memorial Day as a self-imposed deadline for the talks with the GOP, but have signaled they are willing to stretch it into early June.

      To do this, they would first need total unity from their caucus, and Vice President Harris, to pass a budget resolution that green-lights bypassing the filibuster on the infrastructure bill. They would then need to pass the subsequent infrastructure package, a herculean task that would require getting every Democratic senator on board. 

      Manchin, the most conservative member of the Democratic caucus, has found himself in the middle of several fights already this year, including helping sink Neera TandenNeera TandenManchin isn’t ready to support Democrats passing infrastructure on their own Republicans target Trump critic’s role at DOJ Former OMB pick Neera Tanden to serve as senior adviser to Biden MORE‘s Office of Management and Budget nomination, opposing the $15 per hour minimum wage and repeatedly doubling down on his opposition to getting rid of the 60-vote legislative filibuster.

      “I hear all the folks on TV saying, ‘Why doesn’t Biden get this done?'” he said Tuesday. “Well, because Biden only has a majority of effectively four votes in the House and a tie in the Senate, with two members of the Senate who vote more with my Republican friends.”

      And Manchin, asked about the comments by CNN, brushed them off.

      President Biden took a swipe at the American press while sitting down in the Oval Office with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

      “I think what we’re going to do is bring in the press,” Biden began on Friday as they sat down. “The Indian press is much better behaved than the American press.”

      “I think, with your permission, you could not answer questions because they won’t ask any questions on point,” Biden later added. 

      The comments went viral with critics knocking the president in response. 

      “I thought Modi had said this when I heard about it, but nope that’s the American president,” New York Times reporter Katie Rogers tweeted.

      “Pretty Trumpian,” Washington Examiner correspondent Christian Datoc reacted.

      Washington Free Beacon reporter Chuck Ross highlighted that India ranks “142nd” in the world when it comes to press freedom according to Reporters Without Borders while the U.S. is ranked “44th.”

      As Breitbart’s Charlie Spierling noted, Biden’s comments were not included in the official White House transcript on the White House’s website.

      Despite having praised the value of journalists on the campaign trail, Biden has since hurled insults and jabs towards the press throughout his presidency.

      In July, Biden called NBC News correspondent Kelly O’Donnell a “pain in the neck” for asking him a question that was off his preferred topic. 

      The president once snapped at CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins for grilling him on his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, telling her she was “in the wrong business,” later claiming “to be a good reporter you gotta be negative. You’ve got to have a negative view of life.”

      He even joked about running over a reporter with a car while he was test-driving a Ford after the reporter asked him a question about Israel.

      An infant in Chicago died Saturday after testing positive for COVID-19 – becoming the youngest person in Illinois to die after contracting the novel coronavirus.

      Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced the child’s death during a press conference Saturday. An investigation is being conducted to determine the exact cause of death and determine whether the infant had any underlying health conditions, the governor said.

      “I know how difficult this news can be, especially about this very young child,” the governor said at his daily news conference Saturday, according to the Chicago Tribune. “Upon hearing it, I admit that I was immediately shaken. It’s appropriate for any of us to grieve today.”

      He continued: “It’s especially sorrowful for the family of this very small child for the years stolen from this infant. We should grieve. We should grieve for a sense of normalcy we left behind just a few short weeks ago.”

      The child, as well as a state employee, were among the 13 new deaths in Illinois announced at the press conference Saturday. The infant’s name and exact age were not released, though the governor said the child was less than 1 year old.

      “If you haven’t been paying attention, maybe this is your wake-up call,” Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike said at the same press conference, urging people to do all they can to prevent the spread of the virus.

      Illinois in the eighth-most coronavirus infected state in the country, reporting at least 3,498 confirmed cases by Sunday morning, according to Johns Hopkins University.  A total of at least 47 people have died after contracting COVID-19.

      “The vast, vast majority of people in Illinois are doing precisely what we asked them to do,” Pritzker said. “But it’s the others — the people who aren’t obeying the stay-at-home rule — who are putting everyone in danger. It doesn’t take that many people, frankly, to break the rules and cause danger to others.”

      The risk of death and severe illness from COVID-19 is greater for older adults and people with other health problems. In most cases, the virus causes mild or moderate symptoms, which can include fever and cough but also milder cases of pneumonia, sometimes requiring hospitalization.

      Children have made up a small fraction of coronavirus cases worldwide. A letter published in the New England Journal of Medicine by Chinese researchers earlier this month reported the death of a 10-month-old with COVID-19. The infant had a bowel blockage and organ failure and died four weeks after being hospitalized.

      Separate research published in the journal Pediatrics traced 2,100 infected children in China and noted one death, a 14-year old. The study found less than 6 percent of children were seriously ill, according to the Associated Press.

      The Associated Press contributed to this report.

      Lo que queda después del Estado Islámico

      Victorias recientes en contra del grupo islamista que llegó a controlar buena parte del territorio tanto de Irak como de Siria tras autoproclamar un presunto califato también han dejado entrever las tragedias que le siguen a la celebración, como ciudades destruidas en las que algunas personas desplazadas no pueden ni ubicar dónde estaban sus hogares al regresar o el hallazgo de decenas de cadáveres en zonas que estaban bajo el control de milicianos. El pasado fin de semana, por ejemplo, fueron encontrados 67 cuerpos en Qaryatayn, al norte de Damasco, después de que las fuerzas del gobierno sirio expulsaron al Estado Islámico.

      Este video muestra cómo quedó Al Raqa, Siria, después de ser recuperado por una coalición de combatientes kurdos y árabes, las Fuerzas Democráticas Sirias.

      Con el territorio que todavía controla y dado que parece estar armado con drones, el Estado Islámico podría regresar a sus raíces de insurgencia, según analistas, que alertan que la organización es muy efectiva en motivar a personas de diversas partes del mundo a perpetrar ataques en su nombre. Una posible solución sería monitorear mejor la propaganda del grupo en el internet.

      Ante la posibilidad cada vez mayor de que el gobierno estadounidense pueda retirarse del Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte, un grupo de cabilderos de todos los sectores industriales se ha encaminado a Washington para intentar convencer al Congreso de EE. UU. a que mantenga en vigor el pacto, que rige la relación comercial entre Canadá, México y Estados Unidos desde 1994.

      De acuerdo con la Cámara de Comercio estadounidense, más de 125 integrantes de industrias como la automotriz, la agrícola y la de ventas minoristas planean reunirse con los cien integrantes del Senado estadounidense para presionarlos a que aboguen a favor del TLCAN dado que, en palabras del columnista de The New York Times y premio nobel de economía Paul Krugman, salirse podría ser “bueno para el frágil ego de Trump, y esa es una razón para temer lo peor”.

      Representantes de los tres países se encuentran en medio de negociaciones para posiblemente modernizar el acuerdo, que Trump ha criticado como uno de los peores de la historia por su presunto efecto en la manufactura y tasa de empleo estadounidense, pero las rondas de diálogo han evidenciado muchas divergencias. México incluso ya ha tomado pasos para reforzar su política comercial e intercambios con otros países en caso de que la zona de libre comercio norteamericana se desmorone.

      Tras el triunfo de la coalición gobernante argentina en las elecciones para el senado y la cámara de diputados, el domingo pasado, la agenda en el país ahora está enfocada en promover diversas reformas económicas, según dijo ayer el presidente Mauricio Macri.

      “Entramos en una etapa de reformismo permanente”, declaró el mandatario, después de los resultados favorables para Cambiemos en el congreso, que antes estaba controlado por el peronismo.

      De acuerdo con analistas, esas reformas serán impulsadas de manera gradual, ya que varias son poco populares y por ello conllevan un cierto “costo político”.

      A la par de tales gestiones políticas, en Argentina avanzan también de manera gradual las investigaciones sobre las muertes del fiscal Alberto Nisman y del activista Santiago Maldonado.

      Construir una democracia tras intentar desmantelar el apartheid en Sudáfrica fue un hito histórico, pero a más de veinte años muchos sudafricanos negros –tres cuartos de la población– no han visto que esa libertad política se traduzca en cambios económicos.

      Millones de ellos no pueden empezar negocios o mudarse lejos de villas, y menos de la mitad de la población adulta de sudafricanos negros tiene un empleo formal.

      Nombulelo Sakwe, de 38 años y madre de cuatro, vive en una casa improvisada hecha de latón casi igual en la que vivía de niña y buena parte de su sueldo como trabajadora doméstica de una familia blanca se pierde en costear el camión de ida y vuelta. “Nuestros hijos nacen en las mismas situaciones que nosotros. Todavía estamos esperando ver la libertad”, dijo Sakwe.

      • La oposición venezolana se encuentra fracturada después de las elecciones legislativas del 15 de octubre pasado, en las que los resultados oficiales dieron la victoria a 18 candidatos del chavismo y a cinco de la oposición pese a que los sondeos indicaban que esta última tendría mucho mejores resultados. La coalición Mesa de la Unidad Democrática ha denunciado que hubo fraude, pero cuatro de los gobernadores electos juramentaron ayer al cargo frente a la Asamblea Nacional Constituyente –que otros integrantes de la disidencia han calificado como un órgano inconstitucional– y ahora podrían ser expulsados de su partido, una muestra de las divisiones dentro de la coalición.

      Uno de los partidos que integra la MUD, Voluntad Popular, dijo hoy que no se presentará para las próximas elecciones, municipales, que posiblemente se realizarían antes de fin de año.

      • De acuerdo con la Administración para el Control de Drogas estadounidense (DEA, por su sigla en inglés), Colombia no cumplirá este año con la meta de erradicación de cultivos de coca debido a que estos han aumentado, pese a iniciativas para sustituir los cultivos que son impulsadas como parte del acuerdo de paz. En zonas como Tumaco, donde abundan los cultivos de coca, también ha habido serios incidentes como la muerte de civiles, aparentemente por parte de fuerzas del orden.

      • Nicaragua se sumó ayer a los países que han firmado y ratificado el Acuerdo de París para el combate al cambio climático, proceso que había aplazado durante varios meses. El gobierno nicaragüense declaró que “a pesar de no ser el acuerdo ideal, es el único instrumento que permite” actuar de manera unida en contra del calentamiento global. Con la adhesión del régimen de Daniel Ortega, solo Siria sigue sin ratificar, mientras que Estados Unidos anunció que dejará de ser parte del pacto.

      Hace cien años los rusos se levantaron en armas en la llamada Revolución Socialista de Octubre. Para marcar la ocasión, recuperamos algunos artículos de opinión sobre los efectos que tuvo esa movilización histórica.

      ¿Qué queda realmente del comunismo por el que se abogaba en ese entonces? ¿Por qué Rusia ha preferido marcar la ocasión de manera muy discreta, entre movimientos de protestas contra el actual gobierno? Y ¿qué tanto afectó la Revolución Rusa a movilizaciones similares en Latinoamérica, como la mexicana o, posteriormente, la cubana?

      Los puertorriqueños asolados por el paso del huracán María que todavía siguen en la isla intentan encontrar maneras para sobrellevar su día a día ante la escasez de agua y alimentos y la falta de electricidad. Algunos han establecido poleas para mover suministros hacia sus hogares de otro modo incomunicados, mientras otros también se las han ingeniado para que un lavabo pueda servir para que una comunidad damnificada se bañe a falta de regaderas o para organizar comidas comunales donde sí hay estufas de gas.

      A más de un mes del huracán, puertorriqueños de todas las clases sociales se han visto así llevados al límite para seguir viviendo sin muchos de los servicios a los que se habían acostumbrado.
