Se le examinará con lupa de principio a fin. Será protagonista indiscutible de la final de la Supercopa de Europa. Iker Casillas sabe lo que le espera en Cardiff. Desde que Mourinho le sentara en el banquillo de La Rosaleda, nada ha sido igual en su vida. El club considera que lo más aconsejable es que inicie una nueva etapa en otro club, pero darle la libertad es demasiado elevada para las arcas del Real Madrid…

Según ha sabido este periódico, el finiquito de Iker Casillas está valorado en 43 millones de euros, impuestos incluidos, un dato que ha provocado que el Real Madrid, por el momento, dé por hecho que el guardameta internacional continuará vistiendo blanco esta temporada. No hay otra solución.

No hay ninguna novedad sobre esta cuestión. Todo sigue igual y se espera a qué acontece durante los próximos días, sobre todo en la final de la Supercopa. Si finalmente las dos partes deciden que lo mejor es la salida del guardameta, tocaría sentarse a negociar. Esos 43 millones son demasiados para la entidad madridista, que buscaría un acuerdo más económico. 

Con el mercado todavía abierto, no se puede descartar a día de hoy cualquier movimiento. Tras levantar la Décima, Casillas manifestó en plena fiesta madridista que seguiría esta campaña vestido de blanco, expresando su deseo de levantar en 2015 el trofeo de una nueva Champions League. Sin embargo, no se puede garantizar que Iker continúe de blanco más allá del 31 de agosto.

El Real Madrid no realizará ningún movimiento que perjudique a Casillas. La entidad es perfectamente consciente de que no se trata de un futbolista más y sí de un símbolo del madridismo. Por ello, cualquier decisión que se tome será consensuada con el protagonista, que en lo que va de pretemporada no ha abierto la boca para expresar sus pensamientos.

El Real Madrid decidió prescindir de los servicios de Diego López porque económicamente era lo más aconsejable para los intereses del club. El guardameta gallego tuvo que ceder finalmente y poner rumbo al Milan, que pagará 3 millones de euros por el traspaso. Eso sí, tras la mala actuación de Casillas ante el Manchester United en Michigan, Diego pensó que lo mejor era quedarse porque estaba seguro que podía disputar la titularidad, tanto al capitán como a Keylor Navas.

Por todo ello, la final de la Supercopa ante el Sevilla no es un partido más. Casillas sabe que cualquier detalle será examinado con lupa. Una buena actuación ayudaría a calmar el debate abierto, pero si repite errores parecidos a los que cometió en la final de la Champions, el Mundial o el amistoso de Michigan, las críticas se recrudecerían.

Los que conviven con el portero madridista a diario hablan de un Casillas distante. Apenas mantiene relación con sus compañeros. No vive su mejor momento, pero por el momento mantiene su postura, que no es otra que continuar en el Real Madrid. Su sueño era salir gratis, pero el club tasó en 20 millones de euros su libertad, lo que ha provocado que cualquier club interesado dé marcha atrás.

Carlo Ancelotti desveló hace días que Casillas defendería la portería del Real Madrid en Cardiff, pero subrayó que más adelante ya se vería… Aunque Diego López emprende viaje a Milán, la titularidad de Iker está en cuestión. Ya no es un jugador intocable y lo sabe desde hace tiempo. El club blanco ha apostado con fuerza por Keylor Navas y el costarricense, en espléndido estado desde hace mucho tiempo, se presenta como un competidor muy fuerte para Casillas.

· Los datos que refrendan la candidatura de los Gasol al All Star
· Pau Gasol: “Jugar el All Star contra Marc es una posibilidad”
· VIDEOENCUESTA: ¿Es Marc el mejor pívot de la NBA?
· La NBA reconoce a Marc Gasol como el actual MVP

La misma fórmula, un buen ataque y una gran defensa en los momentos decisivos, sirvieron a los Grizzlies de Marc ‘MVP’ Gasol (18+6+5) para imponerse 85-97 en Sacramento a los Kings para sumar su quinto triunfo consecutivo.

Esta vez el líder del juego ofensivo fue Zach Randolph, que aportó un doble-doble de 22 puntos, 12 rebotes –10 defensivos–, repartió 4 asistencias y recuperó 3 balones.

Junto a Randolph el español Marc Gasol se mantuvo en su línea de jugador decisivo tanto en el apartado individual como de equipo y consiguió 18 puntos, 6 rebotes -todos defensivos-, y 5 asistencias, además de recuperar un balón y poner un tapón.

Marc jugó 31 minutos, en los que anotó 6 de 11 tiros de campo y estuvo perfecto desde la línea de personal con 6-6, mientras que le ganó el duelo individual al pívot Ryan Hollins, que siguió de titular en el puesto del hombre franquicia de los Kings, DeMarcus Cousins, que se perdió el segundo partido por un virus.

La baja de Cousins se hizo sentir demasiado en el juego interior de los Kings, que nada pudieron hacer ante la superioridad que mostraron Randolph y Marc, además de los reservas el ala-pívot Jon Leuer, que aportó ocho puntos con cinco rebotes, y el pívot Kosta Koufos, que capturó cuatro balones bajo los aros.

Tony Allen reivindicó su condición de gran jugador defensivo al recuperar dos balones, además de ser eficaz en el ataque con 13 puntos tras anotar 5 de 7 tiros de campo y 3 de 7 desde la línea de personal.

Courtney Lee llegó a los 11 tantos y el base Mike Conley anotó 10 puntos y repartió seis asistencias, que lo dejaron como el quinto jugador de los Grizzlies que tuvieron números de dos dígitos.

Como equipo, los Grizzlies lograron un 48 por ciento de acierto en los tiros de campo (38-79) y el 23 de triples (3-13), pero donde estuvo la clave de su triunfo fue en haber forzado nada menos que 23 perdidas de balón a los Kings que convirtieron en 23 tantos.

La victoria dejó a los Grizzlies con marca de 15-2, al mejor de la NBA, medio partido por encima de los Warriors de Golden State (14-2), que también ganaron a domicilio 93-104 a los Pistons de Detroit y consiguieron el noveno triunfo consecutivo, la racha mayor ganadora actualmente en la NBA.

Los Grizzlies consiguieron una ventaja de 21 puntos en el segundo cuarto, que fue todo lo que necesitaron hasta el último, cuando aseguraron la victoria al volver a realizar su mejor defensa y hacer una buena selección en los tiros a canasta.

Rudy Gay, exjugador de los Grizzlies, se convirtió en el líder del ataque de los Kings (9-8) al aportar 20 puntos, cuatro rebotes y tres asistencias.

Mientras que Ben McLemore llegó a los 18 tantos y el ala-pívot reserva Reggie Evans surgió con su mejor actuación en lo que va de temporada tras conseguir un doble-doble de 17 puntos y 20 rebotes, que no fueron suficientes a la hora de impedir la tercera derrota consecutiva que sufrieron los Kings.

Weather

Fairview Lane collapsed in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, following nearly 8 inches of rain.

Hurricane Ida

A road in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, crumbled, leaving a “surreal scene,” amid heavy rain dumped over New England early Thursday morning as the remnants of Hurricane Ida battered the region.

Videos shared on social media by WPRI’s Johnny Villella shows Fairview Lane caved in. Running water was visible under the sections of asphalt that fell apart.

“The road has collapsed. We have a car hanging over the edge here,” a man, presumably Villella, says off-camera in one of the videos, as he pans to a sedan straddling a fault-line in the pavement. “Just an unbelievable scene here.”

According to WCVB meteorologist Cindy Fitzgibbon, Portsmouth received 7.9 inches of rain overnight.

A Portsmouth police officer told Boston.com Thursday morning the department did not have any information to release yet regarding the incident.

Flooding was reported throughout the Northeast as Ida moved through New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts Wednesday and Thursday.

A flood warning remained in effect for Portsmouth, Rhode Island, through 1:45 p.m. Thursday, according to the National Weather Service.

Mientras la Policía les pide que se retiren, varios manifestantes intentan reagruparse frente al Consejo Nacional Electoral (CNE) en Quito, luego del desalojo durante esta madrugada.

A la voz de “por la democracia y la libertad, únete pueblo”, los manifestantes volvieron a reagruparse desde las 08:00 de este martes.

Ante el pedido de los uniformados para que se retiren de la protesta, los ciudadanos decían: “su lema es servir y proteger”.

La vigilia de los simpatizantes de CREO en las afueras del CNE que había durado nueve días fue levantada durante la madrugada de este martes, cuando los manifestantes fueron desalojados, informaron quienes lograron quedarse en el lugar.

Esta mañana, la avenida 6 de Diciembre, donde se desarrollaban las protestas, ya fue abierta al tráfico vehicular. El transporte público también volvió a circular por el sitio.

La Policía retiró las vallas de seguridad con las que había rodeado al CNE.

Varias personas que estuvieron en la madrugada trataron de reagruparse en sitios aledaños, como el parque La Carolina. (I)

Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., formally launched her run for the Democratic presidential nomination Sunday with a full-fledged embrace of big government programs, including “Medicare for All” and universal pre-kindergarten education — and taking multiple shots at President Trump’s policies.

“I’m running to fight for an America where the economy works for working people,” Harris told a cheering crowd outside City Hall in her hometown of Oakland. ” … I am running to declare, once and for all, that health care is a fundamental right, and to deliver that right with ‘Medicare for All.’ To declare education is a fundamental right, and we will guarantee that right with universal pre-K and debt-free college.”

Harris slammed President Trump’s planned border wall as “a medieval vanity project” and criticized the administration for its hardline immigration policy.

“When we have children in cages, crying for their mothers and fathers, don’t you dare call that border security, that’s human rights abuse,” Harris said.

Harris also pledged to reverse the administration’s tax cuts, which she described as a “giveaway to the top big corporations and the top one percent,” to pay for what she promised would be “the largest working and middle-class tax cut in a generation, up to $500 a month to help America’s families make ends meet.”

Harris cast the United States as being at “an inflection point” in its history and claimed, “the American Dream and our American democracy are under attack and on the line like never before.”

KAMALA HARRIS’ CAREER, FROM CALIFORNIA DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO THE SENATE

“We are here at this moment in time because we must answer a fundamental question,” Harris said. “Who are we? Who are we as Americans? So, let’s answer that question to the world and each other, right here and right now.

“America, we are better than this.”

“People in power are trying to convince us that the villain in our American story is each other,” she added. “But that is not our story. That is not who we are. That’s not our America. You see, our United States of America is not about us versus them. It’s about ‘We the People.'”

Harris, the daughter of immigrants from Jamaica and India, started her political career in 2003 when she was elected San Francisco district attorney. She was voted attorney general of California seven years later and was elected to the Senate in 2016.

“My whole life, I’ve only had one client: the people,” Harris said in an echo of her campaign slogan “For the People.” She also defended her record as a prosecutor, which has come under scrutiny from some progressives.

KAMALA HARRIS, HITTING 2020 TRAIL, FACES TOUGH QUESTIONS OVER PROSECUTOR RECORD

“‘For the People’ meant fighting for a more fair criminal justice system. At a time when prevention and redemption were not in the vocabulary or mindset of most district attorneys, we created an initiative to give skills and job training stead of jail time for young people arrested for drugs,” said Harris, who added that American’s criminal justice system “needs massive reform.”

“It’s fitting that Harris chose the most liberal district in deep-blue California to launch her campaign,” Republican National Committee spokesman Michael Ahrens said in response to her remarks. “Government-run health care, weaker borders and higher taxes might be popular there, but her liberal policies are totally out-of-step with most Americans. President Trump has led this country to record economic highs and strengthened our national security, and it’s why he’s going to be re-elected in 2020.”

Harris is among the first major Democrats to jump into what is expected to be a crowded 2020 presidential contest. Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York have announced exploratory committees. Former Maryland Rep. John Delaney and Julian Castro, federal housing chief under President Barack Obama and a former San Antonio mayor, already are in the race.

Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey, Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Bernie Sanders of Vermont have signaled they may also run.

Harris was scheduled to make her first trip to Iowa as a presidential candidate following the rally. She traveled to the leadoff caucus state in the weeks before this past November’s midterm elections to campaign on behalf of Democrats. She has also visited other early-voting states, including South Carolina this past Friday.

Saudi Arabia‘s king has accused the kingdom’s key rival, Iran, of developing nuclear and ballistic missiles which threaten regional and global stability, telling regional leaders that action is needed to stop Iranian “escalations” following a series of attacks on oil assets in the Gulf.

The comments by King Salman Abdul Aziz came as Saudi Arabia on Thursday hosted in Mecca emergency meetings of the Gulf Cooperation Council, the Organization of the Islamic Conference and the Arab League to counter what it said was Iran’s growing influence.

A Gulf-Arab statement and a separate communique issued after the wider summit both supported the right of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to defend their interests after the attacks on oil pumping stations in the kingdom and tankers off the UAE.

But in a sign of regional tensions, Iraq, which has good ties with neighbouring Iran and the United States, said it objected to the Arab communique, which stated that any cooperation with Tehran should be based on “non-interference in other countries”.

‘Naked aggression’

Addressing Arab and Muslim leaders earlier, King Salman pressed the international community to “use all means to stop Iran from interfering in other countries’ affairs”. 

He said Tehran’s actions threatened international maritime trade and global oil supplies in a “glaring violation of UN treaties”. 

“This is naked aggression against our stability and international security,” the Saudi ruler told the gathered officials.

Iran’s “recent criminal acts … require that all of us work seriously to preserve the security… of GCC [Gulf Cooperation Council] countries,” the king added. 


In his opening remarks, Saudi Foreign Minister Ibrahim al-Assaf said the alleged sabotage of oil tankers off the coast of the United Arab Emirates and drone attacks on a Saudi oil pipeline by Yemen’s Houthi rebels in recent weeks threaten the global economy and endanger regional and international security.

“We should confront it with all means of force and firmness,” he said. 

An Iranian official was at the meeting where Assaf spoke.Tehran has denied any involvement in the attacks.

John Bolton, a top US security official, alleged on Wednesday Iranian mines were “almost certainly” used in the tanker operation. He provided no proof, however. 

An Iranian official dismissed Bolton’s remarks as “a ludicrous claim”. 

Qatar’s blockade


King Salman invited Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, whose country is home to the largest US military base in the region, to the Mecca summit.

Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser Al Thani attended the meeting instead, the highest Qatari official to visit the kingdom since Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt imposed a land, sea, and air blockade on the gas-rich nation in June 2017.

Video images of Thursday’s gathering showed Sheikh Abdullah shaking King Salman’s hand. 

Thomas Pickering, a former US ambassador the UN, told Al Jazeera the Qatari prime minister’s presence at the summit was an important step.

“The invitation has opened the door more than just a little bit. His [Sheikh Abdullah’s] presence there and the handshake is a sign that Saudi Arabia wants unity in the Gulf Cooperation Council and that unity is spreading,” said Pickering. 

Analysts said the emergency summit will be watched closely for whether or not the Saudis will endorse Qatar as a mediator in the dispute with Iran the same way the US has.

Earlier this month, Al Jazeera reported that Qatar’s foreign minister had held talks with his Iranian counterpart in Tehran, aiming to defuse the escalating tensions in the Gulf.

“Washington seems to have bet on Doha to de-escalate by opening back channels with Tehran. The question is whether Saudi and especially UAE can agree on Doha as a mediator,” Andreas Krieg from King’s College London told Al Jazeera.

“The fact that the Saudis contacted the emir of Qatar directly suggests that the tension with Iran is taken very seriously in Riyadh. So, the kingdom is ready to build a broader-than-usual consensus on how to deal with Iran,” Krieg said.

Gulf states have a joint defence force under the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), but the 39-year-old alliance has been fractured by the Qatar blockade.

Tensions with Iran

Animosity has risen between the US and Iran after Washington pulled out of a multinational nuclear deal with Tehran, reimposed sanctions and boosted its military presence in the Gulf.


Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on a trip to Iraq this month that Tehran wanted balanced ties with their Gulf neighbours and had proposed signing a non-aggression pact with them.

One of the UAE’s main newspapers said in an editorial, which is usually state-approved, the offer was “bizarre”.

“No Mr Zarif. We are not buying your ‘nice neighbour’ routine,” said the front-page editorial in Gulf News daily.

President Trump had been vocally considering shutting down the southern border until he scaled back slightly on Thursday, giving Mexico one year to decide whether or not they’ll comply with his demands. His White House team probably talked him back from the ledge, since it seems he’s the only one in his own administration willing to take such a drastic step.

Indeed, senior staffers and Department of Homeland Security officials view closing ports of entry, what Trump calls a border shutdown, as a method of “last resort.” It’s not often that Trump entirely turns his back on his administration’s 2 cents, but when he does, it’s generally over immigration. This isn’t the first threat of this nature from Trump, and surely it won’t be the last, because, as is evident by his recent backtrack, the president’s not actually serious about shutting down the border. He really just wants the immigration debate to be framed in his favor. He hopes this will all be seen as a dichotomy between his pro-American immigration policy and the Democrats’ anti-American one.

It’s easy to see how empty Trump’s threat was: If he were to actually close the border, there would be dire economic consequences. It’s estimated there’s $1.5 billion worth of commerce occurring along the southern border every day. Meanwhile, from an immigration standpoint, nearly 500,000 people cross the border legally each day, and that’s just through Texas ports. With a border closure, shipments of vegetables and other goods would be halted, truck drivers blocked and stranded, and tourists denied passage of any kind. Trump loves to claim credit for the strong economy, but if he were to close the border, a plunge in stocks would most certainly follow.

It would punish a lot of innocent people, and Trump knows it. Following through on this threat as a political statement would have been extremely costly for Trump. But a claim like this one does force the Democrats who are running for president to reveal their stance on immigration, opening them up to attacks from Trump.

After all, President Trump’s 2016 campaign relied on the anxieties of middle America over immigrants taking jobs. He likely won’t stray from this strategy for the 2020 election, which is news to no one, including Democrats. But as Trump opponents elaborate on their positions in response to his pressure, the president is hoping they fall into his rhetorical trap by labeling themselves as open-border activists or “soft on crime” for their tolerance toward illegal immigration.

Trump recently unleashed a characteristic Twitter storm on the subject, prompting Democratic presidential hopefuls Beto O’Rourke, the former congressman from Texas, and Julián Castro, the former secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President Barack Obama, to respond with their own sweeping immigration plans. For his part, Castro divulged that he wouldn’t consider an immigrant entering the U.S. without papers, no matter the circumstance, a federal crime. Trump will have a field day tearing down this proposal by attempting to rely on his “tough on crime” mentality, even though the electorate has steered away from this Reagan-era viewpoint.

O’Rourke is a native of El Paso, Texas, a city experiencing overcrowding due to customs and Border Patrol agents being reassigned to take care of unauthorized migrants. O’Rourke has highlighted Trump’s naive understanding on this matter by emphasizing that immigration policy is actually heavily tied to foreign policy, a reality Trump likes to avoid, evidenced by his recent call to cut off aid to Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, which would only exacerbate the flow of immigrants toward our borders.

One other presidential hopeful, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., already tried to distance herself from Trump by passionately advocating for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients, known as “Dreamers.” On April 3, she introduced a bill to Congress, perhaps intended to differentiate herself from primary opponent O’Rourke, that would allow “Dreamers” to work as staffers or interns in Congress.

The immigration debate will be the main focus of the 2020 election, which means Democrats must fine-tune their positions on immigration in order not to fall into Trump’s rhetorical trap. But we should all remember that Trump’s first two years of hard-line stances on immigration hasn’t actually alleviated the biggest source of conservative apprehension: the surge in migration. In fact, March 2019 saw the highest migrant rate since 2008.

Who knows, Trump could easily be provoked once again to follow through on his threat, even if his original intent was to force Democrats to show their cards. But if he does, he’s not going to do anything but hurt his chances at a 2020 victory — and the everyday Americans he claims to champion.

São Paulo – The Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce has opened registration for companies interested in exhibiting at the Big 5, a construction fair due from November 17th to 20th in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The participation is promoted by the Arab Chamber alongside the Brazilian Export and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brasil) and companies may register until the end of August.

Alaby (center) gave an overview of the Big 5

This Tuesday (22nd), the Arab Chamber’s CEO, Michel Alaby, presented the fair and its opportunities to housing and building industry delegates attending a meeting the with Apex, in São Paulo, to outline promotional actions for the industry. Attendees were thrilled with the location of the Brazilian stand in this edition of the Big 5, as the stand will be near the main entrance in the area of ornamental stones and rocks.

“It is a privileged location,” Alaby told representatives of organizations such as Anfacer, of ceramics and ceramic tiles, Abimovel, of the real estate sector, Abilux, which is comprised of lighting industry companies, Asbea, of architecture firms, National Plastics Institute and other organizations. Overall, around 20 people attended the meeting.

The Brazilian space can fit ten stands and seven are already sold. There are still three places/slots/openings, each with nine square meters. Prices to occupy a stand are US$ 3,320 (or R$ 7,400) for members of the Arab Chamber and US$ 4,742 (or R$ 10,571) for non-members. The value concerns only the participation in the fair and does not include travel and accommodation expenses.

The Big 5 is held in Dubai, but is a landmark for the entire region, and besides attracting importers from the Gulf Cooperation Council itself, it is attended by buyers from other parts of the world, such as Europe and the United States. Last year, Gulf countries imported US$ 20.4 billion in construction materials. Saudi Arabia alone, one of the main markets in the region, has US$ 1 trillion in ongoing or planned construction projects. The Emirates have US$ 727 billion.

Saudi Arabia is the main target of Brazilian construction material exports to the Gulf, according to Alaby, accounting for 23.3% of the total, followed by the Emirates. Last year, Arab countries imported US$ 3.7 billion worth of ornamental stones alone, and Brazil’s Big 5 stand will be located exactly in the ornamental stone area. The main suppliers to the Arabs in this segment are the Chinese, followed by the Italians and the Turkish.

Arab Chamber marketing analyst Daniela Yuri Tiba and Apex-Brasil project manager Rafael Gratão have also attended the meeting this Tuesday.

A través de una carta que circuló esta tarde, el prestigioso novelista también desmintió haber respondido a ningún tipo de entrevista para la publicación de editorial Perfil que dirige Jorge Fontevecchia.


“El quiosquero a quien le compro los diarios me hizo ver la tapa de la revista Noticias con mi foto en una serie semipolicial. Quiero aclarar que nunca he sido kirchnerista y por lo tanto, tampoco he dejado de serlo”, aseguró Piglia en su mail.


“Pero siempre, (y ahora más que nunca) he mirado con simpatía las medidas adoptadas por Néstor y Cristina Kirchner”, añadió.


El autor de “Plata quemada” y “Respiración artificial” continuó asegurando que si bien ya sabía “que casi todos los periodistas mienten”, recién en esta oportunidad se topó “con una evidencia personal”.


“Un tal Zunino llamó a mi casa y fue atendido por una amiga que cuando escuchó que hablaba de parte de la revista Noticias , le dijo que no teníamos ningún interés en hablar con esa publicación y le colgó”, prosiguió Piglia, en referencia al jefe de redacción de la revista Noticias.


“El tal Zunino volvió a llamar y dijo `Se cortó la comunicación` y mi amiga le contestó: `No, yo le corté`. Quizá por ese gesto, dedujo que yo era antikirchnerista”, añadió Piglia.


Irónico, el novelista finaliza su mail agregando en referencia al título de la portada de la revista que “en cuanto a los panqueques, prefiero los de dulce de leche”.


“Les pido a mis amigos que hagan conocer este mensaje”, concluye Piglia su correo electrónico.
