Días de intensas lluvias habían preparado el terreno. Y la zona, vulnerable, no aguantó más.
Sobre las 21:30 (hora local) del jueves el deslizamiento de tierra se hizo inevitable. Parte de un cerro de unos 100 metros de altura colapsó y arrasó con la humilde localidad de Santa Catarina Pinula, 15 kilómetros al sur de Ciudad de Guatemala.
A casi 24 horas de la tragedia el saldo, ni el panorama, son alentadores.

En el segundo día de operaciones, los equipos de rescate trabajan contrarreloj para dar con los desaparecidos: 350, de acuerdo con el último informe de la Coordinadora Nacional para la Reducción de Desastres (Conred).
El Ministerio Público informó este sábado que habían trasladado 55 cadáveres hasta una morgue provisional.
La portavoz del Ministerio Público, Julia Barrera, indicó a periodistas que sólo 24 de las víctimas mortales han sido identificadas, mientras que de las restantes solo se han recuperado partes.

Las autoridades ya aseguraron que la cantidad de muertos sólo irá en ascenso.
“El número de fallecidos, desafortunadamente, creemos que será mayor”, advirtió en conferencia de prensa el encargado de Conred, Alejandro Maldonado.
El alud dejó también 34 heridos, otras 48 personas se encuentran en albergues y 125 viviendas sufrieron un daño severo en el caserío de El Cambray II en Santa Catarina Pinula.
Bomberos, militares, socorristas y voluntarios, unas 1.200 personas en total, participan de las tareas de rescate.

Máquinas excavadoras, palas y perros son parte del equipo que tiene la tarea de encontrar lo antes posible a sobrevivientes de la tragedia.
<span >Este sábado también fue rescatado Noé Arévalo, un bombero voluntario que quedó soterrado durante la noche, cuando trabajaba en la vivienda en donde se localizarón los últimos dos cadáveres.
Según David Cajas, oficial de los Bomberos Voluntarios, Arévalo acababa de sacar tres cuerpos de entre los escombros cuando un montículo de tierra le cayó encima y quedó atrapado.
La cantidad de personas que se encontraba en la zona en el momento del deslizamiento no está clara y las autoridades explicaron que había viviendas en condición irregular por lo que es difícil conocer con exactitud el número de residentes en el área.
El presidente de Guatemala, Alejandro Maldonado -padre del titular de Conred- se hizo presente en el lugar.

En silla de ruedas, tras una operación de rodilla, lamentó el “suceso desafortunado” y pidió cooperación ante “esta emergencia”.
“Mi esposo está ahorita allí con una pala sacando tierra para encontrar a nuestro hijo”, le contó Marta Guitz a una periodista de la agencia Reuters.
“Cuando llegamos”, explicó, “encontramos cerrado el paso y nuestra casa soterrada. Adentro estaba solo mi hijo Dany David González, de 17 años, que nos esperaba para cenar”.

“Ahí están tíos, primos, sobrinos, toda mi familia, son seis casas en total de mis familiares que quedó bajó el cerro”, le dijo Marleni Pu, de 25 años, a la agencia The Associated Press.
“Mis papás lograron salir, ellos escucharon ruidos y sintieron temblores previo al derrumbe”, explicó.
Testigos del desastre natural contaron haber escuchado un gran estruendo, seguido de una inmensa nube de polvo.
El diario El Periódico, en tanto, reporta que empleados municipales en el lugar dieron cuenta de que hay personas que recibieron mensajes de texto de familiares que se encuentran enterrados.

“Esta es la brigada de ayuda humanitaria, si alguien escucha responda”, dicen los rescatistas en el lugar al escarbar en medio del lodo y los escombros, informa el diario Prensa Libre.
Las autoridades aseguraron que ya en 2008 habían advertido a los residentes de esta zona que se trataba de un área de riesgo y habían dado el último aviso a fines del año pasado.
Ese informe de la dependencia, solicitado por las autoridades de la localidad, daba cuenta de la inestabilidad del terreno debido a la erosión que afectaba a las laderas del cerro.

Con el tiempo, las crecidas del río Pinula, que corre por el fondo del cerro, había hecho que el área sufriera de “socavación y erosión en terrenos y viviendas”, de acuerdo a ese reporte oficial.
Pero nada cambió. Menos de un año después, la tierra dijo basta.
La intensa temporada de lluvias, que comenzó en mayo y ha dejado casi medio millón de damnificados, terminó de desencadenar el horror.

“Esta es una de las tantas tragedias que pasan en Guatemala (…) somos muy vulnerables a este tipo de catástrofes y se han producido por todas partes”, aseguró el titular de Conred.
El funcionario aseguró que el alud se dio por una “combinación de factores”, entre los que mencionó la erosión y drenajes “ilegales”.

Y el temor de que vuelva a ocurrir algo similar está presente.
Se calcula que hasta 300.000 personas en el área metropolitana de la capital residen en condiciones similares a las de la localidad de Santa Catarina Pinula.
Son más 230 los asentamientos considerados “de riesgo”, ubicados en barrancos o laderas de tierra inestable.
El año pasado la temporada de lluvias, de mayo a noviembre, se cobró la vida de 29 personas y afectó casi 10.000 hogares.
La de este año ya es más mortífera. Y el saldo será aún más trágico.

A major winter storm was lashing much of the East Coast on Sunday, causing widespread power outages and disrupting travel over the holiday weekend.
The big picture: Heavy snow and ice accumulations were “likely to produce hazardous travel,” downed trees and more outages from the Mid-South to the Northeast, per the National Weather Service. Some parts of the U.S. can expect to see up to a foot of snow through Monday.
By the numbers: Nearly 34,000 customers were without power in North Carolina and another 30,000-plus had no electricity in South Carolina on Monday morning, according to poweroutage.us.
Threat level: “Heaviest snow is expected along and just west of the Appalachians, and the most damaging icing is likely across parts of North Carolina,” the NWS said.
Arctic air already in place across the central and eastern U.S. will work in concert with this dynamic system to deliver a wide swath of more than a foot of heavy snow northward across the upper Ohio Valley through the lower Great Lakes, as the storm center is forecast to track up the interior section of the East Coast through Monday.
“Closer to the track of the storm center, snow that initially falls is expected to change over to a period of sleet and/or freezing rain before changing over to plain rain across interior Mid-Atlantic and up through the lower elevations of New England.”
Meanwhile, weather agency Environment Canada warned 8-16 inches of snow could fall on Monday morning over parts of southern and eastern Ontario, near the border with the U.S.
Editor’s note: This article has been updated with details of flight cancellations, power outages and Canada’s forecast.

“¿Qué tal, amigos? Ustedes transformaron a Telenoche en una gran marca. Y también las grandes marcas se renuevan. Por eso queremos compartir con ustedes el nuevo Telenoche“. Con esas palabras, Daniel Castro comenzó el lunes a las 19 horas una nueva edición del informativo central de Monte Carlo TV presentando cambios en el programa, tanto estéticos como de fondo.
El nombre Centro Monte Carlo de Noticias -un sello que el canal impuso para su noticiero hace décadas tomando como base el viejo formato CNN con la redacción al fondo de la escenografía- dejó de existir.
El estudio donde se ubicaba fue completamente remodelado, desde el piso hasta el techo y las luces, para dejar una escenografía de más de 200 metros cuadrados con una mesa central, una segunda mesa a la izquierda y una pantalla gigante a la derecha. El decorado incluye 18 pantallas y el uso del acrílico como material predominante, sin abandonar el color rojo, característico de la marca.
En el desmontaje y posterior armado del nuevo estudio trabajaron unos 60 profesionales uruguayos, destacaron fuentes del canal a El Observador.
La mesa principal abandonó el concepto tradicional de la pareja conductora para dar lugar a cuatro personas en ese sitio: los presentadores habituales, Daniel Castro y Karina Dalmás, a los que se sumarán dos periodistas cada noche, que rotarán en función de la información del día y dialogarán sobre las noticias. En la primera emisión fueron Marcelo Irachet y Roberto Hernández.
También incluyeron periodistas que aparecen parados con la pantalla gigante detrás.
De esta forma, Monte Carlo TV da un paso que ya habían dado los informativos de los otros canales privados (Telemundo, Subrayado, VTV Noticias) de volver menos rígido el programa e interactuar más en el estudio con periodistas o entrevistados.
A eso se agregan los móviles en vivo. Según contaron desde el canal, el objetivo es tener siempre tres o cuatro móviles en la calle en simultáneo, con la idea además de imprimirles un “mayor ritmo y dinámica”. Con ello buscarán potenciar el eslogan del informativo: “La noticia en vivo”.
El nuevo Telenoche tratará, por un lado, de tener más historias, y por otro fortalecerá dos áreas que no tenían tanto peso en la emisión: economía y espectáculos. Para esto último incorporarán nuevas figuras, que aún no fueron definidas.
La encuestadora Opción Consultores, que ya había comenzado a difundir sus estudios en Monte Carlo TV, continuará con tres presentaciones al mes.
Otra de las modificaciones fue la denominación de dos de los noticieros del canal. Telebuendía (7 de la mañana) pasó a llamarse Teledía Primera Hora, mientras que Telenoche Segunda Edición (0.30 horas) ahora es Telenoche Segunda Hora.
La renovación de este informativos desató una batalla entre canales. Subrayado publicó este martes en su web que, a pesar del lanzamiento, fue vencido por ellos en términos de audiencia. “Subrayado lideró el duelo de informativos en la jornada de estreno de Telenoche” fue el título de la noticia, que destacó que el noticiero de Canal 10 midió 8,5 puntos de rating frente a los 5 puntos de Telemundo y los 4,5 de Telenoche.
El debut del lunes presentó una de las grandes novedades del informativo: la vuelta a Telenoche de Jorge “Toto” Da Silveira. Junto con Federico Paz y Eduardo Rivas estarán los lunes y los viernes en la segunda mesa del estudio para debatir sobre la fecha del campeonato uruguayo de fútbol y de ese deporte en general.
La incorporación del veterano periodista, que hasta el año pasado trabajaba en Fox Sports, tuvo como consecuencia la salida de Mario Bardanca, quien renunció y el lunes dejó de trabajar en el canal.
En la primera emisión, los integrantes de la mesa hicieron referencia a la ida de Bardanca y afirmaron que tiene las puertas abiertas del canal para volver.

LIVE UPDATES
This is CNBC’s live blog tracking Friday’s developments on the war in Ukraine. See below for the latest updates.
More cities in Ukraine have been targeted by Russian airstrikes Friday, local authorities say, in a move that suggests Moscow is expanding its attack further into the country.
It comes after new satellite images appear to show that a large Russian convoy approaching Kyiv has been redeployed to towns and forests outside the city, potentially signaling a renewed push to bear down on the capital.
European leaders say so-called golden passport programs have become a backdoor for dirty money, creating an easy route for many Russian oligarchs to live and conduct business in Europe.
Russian billionaires have been among the world’s largest buyers of multiple citizenships, using alternate passports to help protect their assets and allow freer travel.
The EU Parliament voted this week to phase out citizenship-by-investment programs run by some EU countries. The three EU countries offering golden passports — Bulgaria, Cyprus and Malta — are all phasing out or considering ending their programs. The 12 EU countries offering golden visas, or residency permits for investments, including Greece, Spain and Hungary, are also now considering new limits or phasing them out.
The U.K. is planning to abolish its golden visa program, which gives foreign nationals a path to residency if they invest at least $2.7 million.

The Russian ambassador to the United Nations told the international forum that Moscow did not start the current war in Ukraine.
“We did not start this war. We want to end it and it is true that the war was not begun by us. It started eight years ago by Kyiv,” Russian Ambassador to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said referencing the ongoing conflict in the Donbas region of Ukraine.
Russia has been condemned by global leaders for its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24.
“We are dismayed by the dirty campaign to blame us for intentionally shelling civilian infrastructure,” he said, adding that the West is dismissing legitimate claims as Russian propaganda.

President Joe Biden emphatically rejected the idea of sending American troops or offensive weaponry into Ukraine, telling House Democrats on Friday that such a move would trigger a third World War.
“We will not fight the Third World War in Ukraine,” Biden said at a House Democratic retreat in Philadelphia.
“Putin’s war in Ukraine must never be a victory,” he said. “We are showing strength and we’ll never falter. But, look. The idea, the idea that we’re going to send in offensive equipment and have planes and tanks and trains going in with American pilots and American crews? Don’t kid yourself.”
“That’s called World War III. Okay? Let’s get it straight here guys,” Biden said.
The United States has provided the Ukrainian military with munitions, defensive weaponry and intelligence support. But Biden has so far resisted appeals from Ukrainian leaders for NATO to institute and defend a no-fly zone in the air over Ukraine.
Biden is also under pressure from a faction of congressional Republicans to deliver fighter planes from Poland to Ukraine. But senior Defense Department officials caution that this would be “very risky.”

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield called on China to halt the spread of Russian disinformation amid the Kremlin’s ongoing war in Ukraine.
“Russia is attempting to use the Security Council to legitimize disinformation and deceive people to justify resident Putin’s war of choice against the Ukrainian people. And China too has been spreading disinformation in support of Russia’s outrageous claims,” she said, referencing recent claims by the Kremlin that the U.S. is working with Ukraine on biological weapons programs.
The representative for China rejected Thomas-Greenfield’s comments and instead called on the international forum to investigate Russia’s claims that the U.S. is supporting biological weapons work in Ukraine.
“The concerns raised by Russia should be properly addressed,” said the Chinese Ambassador to the UN Zhang Jun.

YouTube said it will block all channels associated with Russian-funded state media globally.
The Google-owned company had previously blocked Russian state media channels in Europe and Ukraine. YouTube said the latest action follows its guidelines, which “prohibit content denying, minimizing or trivializing well-documented violent events.”
“We are now removing content about Russia’s invasion in Ukraine that violates this policy,” the company said in a statement on Twitter. “This change is effective immediately, and we expect our systems to take time to ramp up.”
The move comes more than two weeks into the war started by Russian President Vladimir Putin. It also comes as other companies, including Twitter, crack down on content that denies events of the war.
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield slammed Russian claims that the United States operates a secret biological weapons program in Ukraine.
“I will say this once,” Thomas-Greenfield said before the UN National Security forum. “Ukraine does not have a biological weapons program. There are no Ukrainian biological weapons laboratories supported by the United States, not near Russia’s border or anywhere.”
She added that the Biden administration believes “Russia is attempting to use the Security Council to legitimize disinformation and deceive people to justify President Putin’s war of choice.”
“We have serious concerns that Russia may be planning to use chemical or biological agents against the Ukrainian people,” she said.
Thomas-Greenfield’s comments echo those of White House press secretary Jen Psaki, State Department spokesman Ned Price and Pentagon spokesman John Kirby.

United Nations Under Secretary-General Rosemary DiCarlo said 564 civilians have been killed and 982 more have been injured in Russia’s attack on Ukraine, citing new data from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
The total casualties and injuries are likely higher due to delays in real-time reporting, DiCarlo said during a UN Security Council forum.
“Most of the recorded civilian casualties, which include children have been caused by explosive weapons with a wide impact area, including heavy artillery, and multi-launch rocket systems and missile and airstrikes,” she said.

Russian forces are approximately 10 miles outside of Kyiv’s city center, according to the Pentagon’s latest assessment of the war in Ukraine.
Russian troops have moved some of their rear elements, including troops and military equipment, up but the frontline has not advanced on Kyiv, a senior U.S. Defense official told reporters.
The official added that the Pentagon still assesses that Russian forces plan to encircle Kyiv. When pressed, the official declined to provide a potential timeline of such an advance.

German luxury-car maker Mercedes-Benz AG warned that its assets in Russia, worth about 2 billion euros ($2.2 billion), could be at risk if Moscow follows through on its proposal to expropriate assets of foreign companies that leave the country following its invasion of Ukraine.
Mercedes listed the possibility of expropriation as one of several risks to the company raised by the Russian invasion in its annual report, released on Friday. Russia on Thursday proposed measures to take control of businesses left behind by departing companies. If adopted, Russian courts would be able to freeze the companies’ assets and force the businesses to choose between restoring their operations or selling the assets, likely at very steep losses.
Mercedes’ assets in Russia include a factory near Moscow that can produce about 20,000 vehicles a year, as well as raw materials, inventories of finished vehicles and related properties.
In addition to the assets at risk, Mercedes’ Russian subsidiaries owe banks about 1 billion euros ($1.1 billion). Mercedes said on Friday that it has issued guarantees for those debts.

A large Russian military convoy, widely tracked by satellite imagery, appears to be stalled on its route to Kyiv.
“The convoy is not really going anywhere,” a senior U.S. Defense official said on a call with reporters when asked about the latest satellite imagery provided by Maxar Technologies.
“We still do not believe that the convoy has made any progress towards linking up with other elements or being able to resupply or contribute in any meaningful way,” the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, added.
“The only thing that we have seen is that in some places, some of their vehicles have moved off of roads that they were on into tree lines,” the official said, adding that it was unclear how many vehicles are in the convoy.

President Joe Biden signed an executive order blocking U.S. imports of key Russian products, including vodka, and banning exports of high-end goods to Russia.
The executive action bans imports from key sectors of Russia’s economy, such as seafood, alcohol and non-industrial diamonds, according to the text of the order. That move will block more than $1 billion in Russian revenues, the White House said in a fact sheet.
The order will also stop the U.S. from exporting what the administration called “luxury items” to anyone in Russia. Those items include high-end watches and clothes, jewelry, top-shelf liquor and luxury vehicles — all of which feature prominently in the lifestyles of mega-rich Russian oligarchs.
The new export restrictions are valued at nearly $550 million per year, the White House said.

After 16 days of war in Ukraine, the Kremlin has approximately 90% of its devoted combat power still available for the fight, according to the Pentagon’s latest assessment of the fighting.
Of Russia’s deployed combat power, including armored vehicles and munitions, almost all of it has survived the armed conflict, a senior Defense official said.
“Obviously the Russians have the advantage in sheer numbers across all different combined arms capabilities,” the official said, referencing the Kremlin’s total arsenal.
The official declined to comment on Ukraine’s combat power.
– Amanda Macias
The Pentagon has observed Russian forces launch more than 810 missiles since the Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine.
A senior Defense official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to share new details from the U.S. assessment of the war, said the majority of the missiles are being fired from mobile platforms inside of Ukraine.
The official said that the missiles are a variety of short-range, medium-range, ballistic as well as cruise missiles.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Friday that the NATO alliance has strengthened amid Russia’s invasion and subsequent war in Ukraine.
“Whatever Moscow seeks to achieve through violence and aggression. It will fail. It is failing already,” Stoltenberg said before the Polish National Assembly marking Poland’s anniversary of joining NATO.
“President Putin wants less NATO on Russia’s borders, but he is getting more NATO. He wants to divide Europe and North America. But we stand more united than ever.”

U.S. President Joe Biden spoke to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday shortly before he announced broad new measures designed to hamper Russia’s economy.
In a tweeted statement, Ukraine’s leader said he gave Biden “the assessment of the situation on the battlefield” and informed him about “the crimes of Russia against the civilian population.”
“We agreed on further steps to support the defense of Ukraine and increase sanctions against Russia,” he added.
In a separate readout of the call, the White House said Biden “highlighted how the United States is continuing to surge security, humanitarian, and economic assistance to Ukraine” and briefed Zelenskyy on the steps he took Friday to undermine the Russian economy.

President Joe Biden called for the U.S. to revoke Russia’s “most favored nation” status, which would downgrade Russia as a trading partner and open the door to damaging new tariffs on Moscow.
The European Union and the Group of Seven nations are expected to take the same step. Canada already removed Russia’s most favored nation status last week.
The aim, Biden said, is “to squeeze Putin and hold him even more accountable for his aggression in Ukraine.”
Biden will need action from Congress to cancel permanent normal trade relations with Russia, but he is expected to have cooperation. Both Republicans and Democrats have strongly supported non-military efforts to punish Russia, and some have already proposed legislation to revoke Russia’s WTO membership.

President Joe Biden will announce that the U.S. is moving to revoke Russia’s status as a “most-favored nation,” a senior administration official told reporters at CNBC and NBC News.
“Most-favored nation” status is a classification within the World Trade Organization that exempts a country from tariffs.
Changing Russia’s trade status will allow Congress to slap tariffs on any or all goods imported from Russia to the U.S., with caviar, vodka, plywood and various other goods among those likely to be affected.
It is unclear whether Biden himself is revoking Russia’s trade status or whether he will call on Congress to do so.
Last year, Russian exports to the U.S. amounted to $29 billion, 60% of which was comprised of oil and gas products, which were banned from being imported to the U.S. altogether earlier this week.
Since Moscow launched its attack on Ukraine, there have been bipartisan calls in Congress for Russia’s trade status in the U.S. to be changed.

The U.K. has announced fresh sanctions on Russia, targeting 386 Russian lawmakers who voted to recognize the independence of two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine shortly before the country was invaded.
British Foreign Minister Liz Truss said on Friday that the new sanctions would prohibit those on the list from traveling to the U.K., accessing assets held in the U.K. and doing business in the U.K.
“We’re targeting those complicit in Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine and those who support this barbaric war,” she said in a statement. “We will not let up the pressure and will continue to tighten the screw on the Russian economy through sanctions.”
It comes a day after the U.K. added seven Russian oligarchs, including billionaire Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich, to its sanctions list.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reportedly said Ukrainian has reached a “strategic turning point” in its war with Russia, calling for time and patience until victory is achieved.
“It is impossible to say how many days we still have to free Ukrainian land. But we can say we will do it. For we have already reached a strategic turning point,” Zelenskyy said in a televised address, according to Reuters.
Zelenskyy also reiterated his push for stronger moves from the European Union to punish the Kremlin, adding that further economic measures would be required if the war continues.
His comments come as Russia widens its attack on Ukrainian cities, and as satellite images show a large military convoy regrouping northwest of Ukraine’s capital.

Russian President Vladimir Putin says some progress has been made in talks between the Kremlin and Ukraine, without providing any further details.
“There are some positive shifts there, as I have been told by our delegation,” Putin said, according to a translation by NBC News.
His comments came as he met with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko in Moscow. Putin said talks between Russia and Ukraine were “taking place almost daily.”
European markets jumped on the news. The pan-European Stoxx 600 was last seen trading 2% higher, having traded up around 1% in late morning deals.
U.S. stock futures also jumped, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average futures up more than 300 points and the Nasdaq 100 jumping some 1.4%.

The U.N. human rights office says it has received credible reports of multiple cases of Russian military forces using cluster bombs in populated areas of Ukraine, according to Reuters.
The use of such weapons could amount to war crimes, the U.N. added.
“Due to their wide area effects, the use of cluster munitions in populated areas is incompatible with the international humanitarian law principles governing the conduct of hostilities,” U.N. spokesperson Liz Throssell told reporters in Geneva, Switzerland, Reuters reported.
“We remind the Russian authorities that directing attacks against civilians and civilian objects, as well as so-called area bombardment in towns and villages and other forms of indiscriminate attacks, are prohibited under international law and may amount to war crimes.”

Ukrainian state-run energy company Energoatom says nuclear power plants in the country “continue to operate stably.”
The update comes amid heightened concern about Ukraine’s nuclear safety as Russia steps up its onslaught.
Ukraine on Thursday informed the U.N. nuclear watchdog that it had lost all communications with the Russia-controlled Chornobyl nuclear power plant. The International Atomic Energy Agency said this development came shortly after the defunct nuclear power plant lost all external power supplies.
The Chornobyl plant’s disconnection from the grid “will not have a critical impact on essential safety functions at the site,” the IAEA has said.

Airstrikes hit the western cities of Lutsk and Ivano-Frankivsk at around 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. local time respectively on Friday, Ukraine’s Parliament said in a statement.
Explosions were heard in both cities, the statement said, adding that air raid sirens did not sound before either city was hit with airstrikes.
In a video message posted to Telegram on Friday morning, Yurii Pohuliaiko, head of the Lutsk regional council, said four rockets had been dropped on the city’s military airport, killing two soldiers and injuring six.
The airstrikes on Lutsk and Ivano-Frankivsk are further west than recent Russian attacks on Ukraine.

U.K. officials said Friday that although it seems unlikely Russia has successfully achieved its invasion objectives, it was likely that Moscow is seeking “to reset and re-posture its forces for renewed offensive activity in the coming days.”
“This will probably include operations against the capital, Kyiv,” the U.K.’s Ministry of Defense said in an intelligence update Friday.
“Russian ground forces continue to make limited progress,” the ministry’s update added. “Logistical issues that have hampered the Russian advance persist, as does strong Ukrainian resistance.”
The U.K. update came after satellite images appeared to show a large Russian convoy that has been approaching Kyiv for over a week has been redeployed to towns and forests outside the city, potentially signaling a renewed push to bear down on the capital.

Russian forces have killed more civilians than soldiers in Ukraine, the country’s defense minister said Friday.
“As of 10 March, the number of Ukrainian civilians killed by Russian interventionists is bigger than the number of our military personnel from all defense corps killed in action,” Oleksii Reznikov said in a Facebook post.
“The Kremlin is bombing schools and hospitals, including maternity hospitals. Moscow does not protect anyone. It destroys,” he added. “They are not able to fight with our army, the national guard and territorial defense forces — so they attack the most vulnerable.”

President Joe Biden will announce new actions on Friday that will see the U.S. “continue to hold Russia accountable for its unprovoked and unjustified war on Ukraine,” the White House said yesterday.

Russia’s large military convoy, last seen northwest of Ukraine’s capital city of Kyiv near Antonov Airport, has “largely dispersed and redeployed,” satellite images taken on Thursday by U.S. firm Maxar Technologies appear to show.
The photos appear to show that armored units have fanned out through the towns close to the airport, with artillery howitzers thought to be situated in firing positions nearby.
Maxar said damage to commercial and residential property could be seen in and around Kyiv and in Chernihiv, a city in northern Ukraine.
The latest batch of satellite images come as Russia’s onslaught of Ukraine enters its 16th day, with invading Russian troops seeking to maintain pressure on Kyiv and the besieged port city of Mariupol.

Ruslan Martsinkiv, mayor of Ivano-Frankiivsk, said Friday morning that the city in western Ukraine was under attack and there had been explosions on the ground. He urged residents in a series of Facebook statements not to leave their homes, adding that the military and emergency services were on the scene.
Meanwhile Ihor Polishchuk, mayor of Lutsk — another city in Ukraine’s west — also said on Facebook that there had been explosions there this morning. He said the airstrike had taken place near the airport.
CNBC has not yet been able to independently verify the reported attacks on either city.
Elsewhere, the city of Dnipro in central Ukraine came under attack early on Friday morning, being hit by three airstrikes. Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said the strikes had hit a kindergarten, an apartment building and a shoe factory. One person died in the attacks, while 20 were injured, authorities said.

Former CA Senate Majority Leader Gloria Romero says she’s ‘tired’ of Gov. Newsom’s hypocrisy.
Gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder intends to replace California Gov. Gavin Newsom in the state’s upcoming recall election and former California Senate Majority Leader Gloria Romero is strongly endorsing him for the job.
Romero told “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Thursday that Elder is the “best option” to replace Newsom in order to eradicate the governor’s hypocritical and pompous behavior.
“I was just tired of the false narrative that was put forward that this was a right-wing conspiracy,” she said. “There are 1.7 million Californians that signed that recall petition – I was one of them.”
GAVIN NEWSOM RECALL ELECTION: MORE THAN A FIFTH OF CALIFORNIA VOTERS HAVE CAST BALLOTS SO FAR
“I was tired of the ‘rules for thee but not for me’ attitude of the prince of the French laundry, who shut down our public schools but then he sent his kids to school,” she said. “I looked at Larry’s record and believe that he’s our best option to really break the monopoly of special interest when it comes to education and to offer, especially Latino and African American families in California school choice options.”
The Democrat asserted that support for Newsom’s recall has not only been widespread but also bipartisan across the political board.
Among the most important crises occurring in California, Romero pressed that the deterioration of school quality is “very upsetting” and minorities at large support recalling the governor in order to administer school choice. Romero said according to statistics, 70% of Latino and 80% of Black children are not meeting proficiency levels in math.

“But because of the way in which the schools are run, even when the state identifies a school as chronically underperforming, kids can’t get out. You’re zip-coded there,” she said. “The powerful monopoly of the California Teachers Association, which is a major endorser of the Democratic Party and of course Gavin, it blocks any type of reform.”

A war of words outside the U.S. Capitol between Attorney General Bill Bar and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
Buzz60
WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused President Donald Trump of “a cover-up” moments before he broke off infrastructure talks and held an impromptu Rose Garden press conference to attack ongoing investigations involving him.
“We do believe it’s important to follow the facts, we believe that no one is above the law, including the President of the United States, and we believe that the President of the United States is engaged in a cover-up,” Pelosi said following a meeting with House Democrats on Wednesday to discuss their investigations of the president.
The president would reference the speaker’s missive, saying, “I don’t do cover-ups.”
The tense exchange came as Pelosi, Trump and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer planned to hold a White House meeting on infrastructure Wednesday morning.
Pelosi has been trying to tamp down a growing clamor from Democrats who want to impeach the president. Many in the party, including some of Pelosi’s allies, are saying it’s time for Democrats to open an impeachment inquiry.
Pelosi did not make the case against impeachment herself during the caucus meeting, said Rep. Gerald Connolly, instead she presided over presentations from the chairmen of the committees who are investigating the Trump administration.
Many members walking out of the meeting insisted Democrats were unified in their approach, but accounts from some lawmakers showed not everyone was on board with the wait-and-see strategy.
Connolly said that Financial Services Committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters, D-Calif., who has long pushed for impeachment gave an update on her committee’s investigations before saying the caucus should impeach Trump.
“After she finished a long, long report she quickly said ‘we should impeach him’ and sat down and everyone laughed,” Connolly said.
Lawmakers may have laughed at Waters’ attempt to get the conversation going, but a growing number of Democrats view the administration’s stonewalling as serious enough to open an impeachment inquiry.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., a member of the committee which would handle impeachment, said members were” totally unified” in their approach to getting information from the Trump administration “and we all understand this to be an historic moment.”
However, he also said “lots of members want to put an impeachment inquiry onto the table and we want to use whatever means are necessary in order to defend the constitution, the rule of law.”
Raskin was one of a trio of senior members who pushed Pelosi to start an impeachment inquiry on Monday after the White House instructed former White House counsel Don McGahn to ignore a subpoena to appear before Congress Tuesday.
McGahn Tuesday defied the congressional subpoena and did not show up for a hearing where lawmakers had planned to press him on his interactions with Trump regarding special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election. The White House instructed McGahn to ignore the subpoena after the Department of Justice on Monday released a legal opinion that said he was not required to appear.
“This president – as a result of his decision to direct Mr. McGahn not to appear – has engaged in an effort to obstruct and impede and to cover up,” said Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., the chairman of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee, the House Democrats’ messaging arm.
“I think the time has come to begin the formal process of considering impeachment as an option,” said Cicilline, a member of the House Judiciary Committee. He said the inquiry should be opened to communicate to the administration the “heightened level of seriousness” of the Democrats’ investigations. But he also acknowledged that such a decision was ultimately up to Pelosi, who, so far, is not on board.

Joe Biden: Democrats may have ‘no alternative’ but to impeach President Trump
On Monday, a trio of Democratic leaders, including Cicilline, pushed Pelosi, during different meetings to move forward with an impeachment inquiry, but she held firm, according to a Democratic aide who was in the room during the meetings. The interactions were first reported by Politico.
Top House Democrats spent Tuesday insisting that the lawmakers who were calling for impeachment were still the minority of the party – for now.
Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said Tuesday he thinks every Democrat “in their gut” feels Trump has “done some things that probably justify impeachment.”
“Having said that, this is the important point, I think the majority of Democrats continue to believe that we need to continue to pursue the avenue that we’ve been on,” he added. “If facts lead us to a broader action, so be it,” Hoyer said.
Pelosi has long said impeachment is divisive. In an exclusive interview with USA TODAY in March, she said impeachment would be “a gift” to the president if it was not bipartisan. But after a redacted version of Mueller’s report was made public, she said impeachment was possible if facts led there.
“I see a lot more people who have seen what has occurred who would like to see an impeachment inquiry,” Tennessee Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen said Tuesday. Cohen, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, said he has articles of impeachment drafted, but would like to see Mueller come in to testify before he files them.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said Tuesday that Democrats had “no choice” but to open an impeachment inquiry “at the very least.”
Ocasio-Cortez said she didn’t speak for all of her colleagues but she noted that she had not seen “a lot of overt expression of opposition” to impeachment.
“I think it’s really just a matter of leadership” who oppose the move, she said. Ocasio-Cortez has long supported getting Trump out of office, but she has become increasingly vocal about her desire for an impeachment inquiry after Mueller’s report was released.
Over the weekend, Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., said he had read the Mueller report and determined that the president had committed impeachable offenses. However, no other Republicans have followed Amash in calling for impeachment.

FOX News contributor tells ‘The Story’ why the idea is a ‘failure’ on the part of Joe Biden
Legislation to expand the Supreme Court proposed by House and Senate Democrats represents “a crisis of leadership and a failure on the part of President Biden,” George Washington University law professor and Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley told “The Story” Thursday.
“He [Biden] equivocated throughout the campaign, he didn’t want to admit that he viewed court-packing, as he did in 1983, as a bone-headed idea, a dangerous idea,” Turley told host Martha MacCallum. “Instead he fueled these demands to simply change the court so it would effectively carry out a more liberal agenda.”
“We need a president to say, ‘This is enough. This is pure and raw court-packing,'” Turley continued. “The public has been always against court-packing. The polls are very high. They’ve never been equivocating in their own right. The public sees it for what it is. Liberal justices have opposed this. This is called a hostile takeover of the Supreme Court against the wishes of the public, even liberal justices, and against the weight of history.”
MacCallum recalled that the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg threw cold water on the idea of court-packing when she stated in 2019: “If anything that would make the court appear partisan. It would be that — one side saying, ‘When we’re in power, we’re going to enlarge the number of justices so we’ll have more people who will vote the way we want them to.’ So I’m not at all in favor of that solution to what I see as a temporary situation.”

Turley then pointed out that many of the liberal lawmakers who opposed former President Donald Trump’s nominees to the Supreme Court have been wrong.
“Gorsuch and Kavanaugh have voted on critical cases with the left more than the justices on the left have broken away [and voted] with the right. This court is not as robotic as people suggest.”

CIUDAD DE MÉXICO (apro).- El domingo 13 de noviembre, entre las 15 y 17 horas, cinco sujetos ingresaron al edificio donde se ubican las oficinas del portal informativo Aristegui Noticias, donde amagaron al conserje, forzaron puertas, sustrajeron una laptop, así como un saco y un reloj, al tiempo que dejaron grabar sus rostros en las nueve cámaras de seguridad, como si supieran que nada les pasaría.
El allanamiento y asalto a las oficinas del medio dirigido por Carmen Aristegui ocurrió horas antes de que denunciara que “México no llegará a ser una verdadera democracia si censuran o matan a periodistas y no pasa nada”, al recibir en Estados Unidos el Premio Knight de Periodismo Internacional 2016 del International Center For Journalist.
Unos días antes, en las redes sociales se intensificaron ataques y rumores en algunos sitios digitales que se especializan en divulgar “información sucia”, como es el caso de www.Cuando24.com, que el viernes propagó el siguiente rumor falso: “¡Ultima Hora! Militares ingresaron a la fuerza en casa de Carmen Aristegui por órdenes del gobierno. ¡Destrozaron Todo!”.
El portal Aristegui Noticias, junto con los abogados de Carmen Aristegui, decidió hacer público el video que grabaron las nueve cámaras de seguridad, así como los detalles de los hechos, después de que fueron filtradas a TV Notas y Récord –ambos propiedad de la empresa Notmusa– “documentos de la empresa denunciante, fragmentos de los testimonios ofrecidos, fotografías y otros elementos fundamentales” de la investigación que estaba en curso en la Fiscalía Desconcentrada de la delegación Álvaro Obregón, en la Ciudad de México.
En el texto informativo, publicado esta tarde en Aristegui Noticias, se señaló lo siguiente:
“Este medio, desde el primer día, tomó la decisión de no divulgar el allanamiento y robo para no afectar la secrecía de las investigaciones y evitar que el trabajo de la Procuraduría capitalina se viera afectado o entorpecido y no poner en riesgo la indagatoria y sus resultados.
“Sin embargo, el medio de comunicación ha decidido –previa consulta con sus abogados– dar a conocer la información de la cual dispone, una vez que la carpeta de investigación, bajo resguardo de la Fiscalía, ha sido filtrada y dada a conocer por dos medios de comunicación que publicaron este lunes documentación de la empresa denunciante, fragmentos de los testimonios obtenidos, fotografías y otros elementos fundamentales de la investigación.
“Una vez que la cadena de custodia de los elementos que forman parte de la investigación y la reserva, a la que está obligada la autoridad, fueron rotas, Aristegui Noticias ha dado a conocer lo sucedido y mostrar ante la opinión pública los videos que fueron entregados a las autoridades de la Fiscalía”.
El sitio dirigido por Carmen Aristegui subrayó que “la secrecía de la investigación ya se violó”, y notificó al procurador capitalino Rodolfo Ríos Garza y al fiscal Gustavo Omar Jiménez Escudero la decisión de divulgar el video. Ambos funcionarios se comprometieron a “realizar la investigación interna” para identificar a los posibles responsables de la filtración.
El allanamiento y robo se dan a conocer también al cumplirse el plazo legal que tienen los abogados de Carmen Aristegui y de la editorial Penguin Random House Mondadori para inconformarse con la sentencia de un juez capitalino, quien consideró que la periodista se “extralimitó en su libertad de expresión” y causó daño en su honor al empresario Joaquín Vargas, presidente de MVS Comunicaciones, en el prólogo escrito para el libro La Casa Blanca de Peña Nieto.

Mr. Biden said he was confident that Democrats would unite behind the framework after months of turbulent negotiations. But it still has not passed Congress, and it is still unclear whether Mr. Biden has the votes.
Administration officials, who have made it their goal to end the global practice of profit-shifting, celebrated the international tax provisions this week and said they would be significant steps toward Mr. Biden’s vision of a global economy where companies invest, hire and book more profits in the United States.
But they also conceded that infighting among congressional Democrats had left Mr. Biden short of fulfilling his promise to make corporations pay their “fair share,” disappointing those who have pushed Mr. Biden to reverse lucrative tax cuts for businesses passed under Mr. Trump.
The framework omits a wide range of corporate tax increases that Mr. Biden campaigned on and pushed relentlessly in the first months of his presidency. He could not persuade 50 Senate Democrats to raise the corporate income tax rate to 28 percent from 21 percent, or even to a compromise 25 percent, or to eliminate incentives that allow some large firms — like fossil fuel producers — to reduce their tax bills.
“It’s a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, step,” Erica Payne, the president of a group called Patriotic Millionaires that has urged tax increases on corporations and the wealthy, said in a statement after Mr. Biden’s framework announcement on Friday. “But it’s a step.”

Over the past few decades, the American public has become more socially liberal on most issues. It has reversed its opposition to gay marriage and marijuana legalization and grown unsupportive of the death penalty. But there’s one issue that’s effectively stagnated, evenly dividing the electorate, with no signs of budging: abortion.
Twenty years ago, 56 percent of the country favored legal abortion. Today, that number is 57 percent, with minimal fluctuation over the past two decades.
But the binary of pro-choice vs. pro-life doesn’t tell the whole story.
Today’s Democratic Party would have you believe that the future is female and demands abortion on demand at any time in a pregnancy. But the average American’s view on the matter can pretty much be summed up with “safe, legal, and rare,” the standard that Democrats abandoned long ago.
While the majority of Americans favor legal abortion in the first three months of pregnancy, just one quarter believe in allowing it in the second trimester. That figure plummets to 13 percent when Americans are asked about legal abortion for the final trimester of pregnancy. These numbers have remained constant for two decades.
These figures grow even more complicated when Americans judge the rationale behind an abortion. The overwhelming majority of the public favors a woman’s ability to abort a pregnancy conceived through rape, but only 45 percent of Americans believe a woman should be allowed to get an abortion solely for personal reasons, even in the first trimester.
Compared to the nation’s new, popular support for gay marriage and legal pot, our abortion polling demonstrates that social liberalism is now social libertarianism. Letting people live their lives without the imposition of the government is broadly supported, but abortion imposes a level of cognitive dissonance in the American psyche. If the stagnancy and breakdown of our abortion polling numbers indicate anything, it’s that Americans don’t want to abolish the practice outright but remain extremely uncomfortable with the Left’s fetishization of it.
Rather than treat abortion as a necessary evil, as most Americans seem to, the new Democratic Party has heralded abortion as a positive good, a personal undertaking to celebrate as an act of feminist independence. The execrable “ShoutYourAbortion” campaign repeatedly trends on social media, and the ardent pro-choice crowd has vilified Republican lawmakers for attempting to deregulate and increase access to birth control pill as well as commonsense pushes to reduce the incidence of unintended pregnancies.
Now, New York and Virginia have made concerted efforts to legalize abortion not just past the point of fetal viability but right up until the time of birth. Democrats in those two states have turned their backs on all meaningful attempts to define the beginning of life as, say, the point at which a fetus can feel pain or the moment of quickening (the European Medieval understanding). Instead, they’ve abandoned any pretense of ethics and accepted that some humans simply have less moral value than other humans.
Democrats have relied on the most sympathetic presentation of women seeking abortions, invoking teen pregnancies and poor, single women to win over Americans skeptical of abortion. But now the Left is gambling that the country will accept abortions up to birth, motivated by pure selfishness, as a positive good. This may just detonate the tenuous coalition that’s kept the pro-choice movement a national majority.

El Real Madrid y el Atlético de Madrid empataron 1-1 este martes en el Santiago Bernabéu en la ida de la Supercopa de España, en la que James Rodríguez marcó su primer gol oficial con la camiseta blanca.
En la reedición de la pasada final de la Liga de Campeones (victoria blanca 4-1), James abrió el marcador en el minuto 81 y Raúl García hizo el empate en el 88.
El diez colombiano, que entró en la segunda parte en sustitución del portugués Cristiano Ronaldo -con problemas en su pierna izquierda-, marcó así su primer tanto en el Bernabéu. El tenista Rafael Nadal, gran aficionado blanco y presente en la tribuna, lo celebró con alegría.
Durante gran parte del encuentro, el Real Madrid, campeón de Copa, chocó con el bloque defensivo del Atlético, campeón de Liga, que mostró que conserva su solidez pese a haber perdido este verano a piezas importantes como el hispano-brasileño Diego Costa, el portero belga Thibaut Courtois o el lateral brasileño Filipe Luis.
Cuando se llevaba un cuarto de hora de juego un error de la defensa del Real Madrid permitió a Saúl, de 19 años y sorpresa en el once de Diego Simeone, quedarse solo ante Iker Casillas, pero disparó sin potencia ni colocación, y el guardameta respondió con solvencia.
Entre las pocas ocasiones del conjunto local en la primera parte estuvo un cabezazo de Ronaldo que se marchó fuera después de un centro desde la izquierda de Gareth Bale.
En la segunda mitad, ya con James sobre el campo, el Real Madrid tiró por primera vez entre los tres palos. Bale recogió un centro de Dani Carvajal y su potente lanzamiento lo despejó con autoridad Miguel Ángel Moyá.
En una de las primeras acciones en las que participó el colombiano, forzó una falta al borde del área por agarrón del capitán del Atlético Gabi.
El lanzamiento desde el balcón del área de Sergio Ramos se fue alto. Se tuvo que repetir porque la barrera se adelantó y Bale lo intentó, pero sin colocar. Despejó Moyá y el balón se quedó suelto. El alemán Toni Kroos disparó finalmente por encima del larguero.
El panorama había cambiado, el Real Madrid llegaba con mayor facilidad. En el minuto 70 James recibió el balón en el pico derecho del área y su tiro con la izquierda salió muy cerca de la escuadra. Fue su primer aviso.
Finalmente, tras un centro de Carvajal y en una jugada con varios rechaces, el balón le cayó al “niño maravilla”, que marcó con la pierna derecha.
Pero la alegría duró poco ya que Raúl García igualó en el 88, cuando acertó a empujar el balón a la red tras el saque de un córner.
Ficha técnica:
1 – Real Madrid: Iker Casillas; Carvajal, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo; Xabi Alonso, Modric (Di María, m.78), Kroos; Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo (James, m.46) y Benzema.
1 – Atlético de Madrid: Moyá; Juanfran, Miranda, Godín, Siqueira (Ansaldi, m.63); Saúl Ñíguez (Griezmann, m.56), Mario Suárez, Gabi, Koke; Raúl García; y Mandzukic (Raúl Jiménez, m.79).
Goles: 1-0, m.81: James. 1-1, m.88: Raúl García.
Árbitro: Estrada Fernández (colegio catalán). Amonestó a Xabi Alonso (38) y Ramos (60) por el Real Madrid; y a Koke (5), Siqueira (12), Mario Suárez (58), Mandzukic (60), Raúl García (68) por el Atlético de Madrid.

Fotógrafo y colaborador del sitio digital La Bandera Noticias, Juan Carlos Hernández Ríos fue asesinado la noche del martes en el municipio de Yuriria, Guanajuato, informó el portal Zona Franca.
El jefe de información de Zona Franca, Javier Bravo, aseguró para #AristeguiEnVivo que Juan Carlos Hernández colaboraba desde hace dos meses con el portal La Bandera Noticias, donde fungía como asistente del reportero Alejandro Chávez.
Chávez ya había sido sido amenazado por la familia del alcalde de Yuriria, Gerardo Gaviña, desde diciembre pasado, explicó Bravo.
Sin embargo, el coordinador de Comunicación Social del Gobierno de Guanajuato, Enrique Avilés, negó que Juan Carlos Hernández sea periodista y que su asesinato tenga relación con el ejercicio periodístico.
Agregó que todo crimen es condenable y que se va a investigar el homicidio, porque todos los asesinatos son deplorables para las víctimas y sus familias.
Previamente, el periodista Javier Bravo aseguró que aun cuando Juan Carlos Hernández Ríos era taxista de profesión, comenzó a colaborar con La Bandera Noticias en el marco de la violencia creciente que vive Guanajuato y que, poco a poco, había comenzado a enviar al sitio fotografías y videos para reportes policiacos.

NOTICIAS TELEMUNDO PRESENTS:
“MURIENDO POR CRUZAR,” AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE INCREASING NUMBER OF IMMIGRANT DEATHS ALONG THE BORDER, THIS SUNDAY, AUGUST 3 AT 6 P.M./5 C
Carmen Dominicci and Neida Sandoval present the Telemundo and The Weather Channel co-production
Miami – July 31, 2014 – Telemundo presents “Muriendo por Cruzar”, a documentary that investigates why increasing numbers of immigrants are dying while trying to cross the US-Mexican border near the city of Falfurrias, Texas, this Sunday, August 3 at 6PM/5 C. The Telemundo and The Weather Channel co-production, presented by Noticias Telemundo journalists Carmen Dominicci and Neida Sandoval, reveals the obstacles immigrants face once they cross into US territory, including extreme weather conditions, as they try to evade the border patrol. “Muriendo por Cruzar” is part of Noticias Telemundo’s special coverage of the crisis on the border and immigration reform.
“‘Muriendo por Cruzar’” dares to ask questions that reveal the actual conditions undocumented immigrants face as they try to start a new life in the United States,” said Alina Falcón, Telemundo’s Executive Vice President for News and Alternative Programming. “Our collaboration with The Weather Channel was very productive. They have a unique expertise in covering the impact of weather on people’s lives, as we do in covering immigration reform and the border crisis. The result is a compelling documentary that exposes a harrowing reality.”
“Muriendo por Cruzar” is the first co-production by Telemundo and The Weather Channel. Both networks are part of NBCUniversal.

Un afiche en Sierra Leona informa sobre los signos y síntomas del Ébola.
El brote de ébola, que desde febrero se ha cobrado la vida de más de 800 personas en África Occidental, es el peor que se conoce hasta la fecha.
Descubierto en 1976, el virus se transmite al ser humano por animales salvajes y su propagación se hace a través del contacto con los fluidos corporales de la persona infectada.
No existe vacuna contra el ébola, que llega a matar hasta el 90% de las personas que resultan contagiadas.
Sin embargo, a pesar de su alto poder letal, los expertos señalan que tiene una capacidad limitada para propagarse.
“El ébola, como todos los virus, puede ser contenido totalmente por medio de cuarentenas”, apunta Ben Neumann, virólogo de la Universidad inglesa de Reading.
“Ese es el antiviral universal. Aislarte en una habitación no te va a poner mejor y no hay un tratamiento en contra del ébola, pero protege al resto del mundo”.
El control higiénico es crucial para impedir la propagación del vrus.
La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) hace hincapié justamente en las campañas de información sobre los factores de riesgo y las medidas de protección como única forma de reducir el número de infecciones y muertes.
En ese sentido, recomiendan que el contacto del personal médico con los enfermos incluya máscaras, batas de manga larga, guantes y botas, además del lavado rutinario y el cuidado extremo en el uso de los instrumentos médicos.
Igualmente, la OMS resalta que los cadáveres de las víctimas de la enfermedad son otro factor de transmisión e insiste en que “la gente que murió de ébola debe ser enterrada rápidamente y de forma segura”.
Por otra parte, recalca la necesidad de “reducir el riesgo de transmisión de animales salvajes al ser humano a consecuencia del contacto con murciélagos de la fruta o monos o simios infectados y del consumo de su carne cruda”.

Los países africanos afrontan el riesgo de una expansión del brote de ébola.
El más reciente brote se detectó primero en Guinea y, de allí, pasó a Liberia y Sierra Leona. En este último país la BBC conversó con una trabajadora de la Cruz Roja dedicada a informar a la población sobre la propagación del virus y cómo evitar ser contagiado. Resumió su mensaje en tres normas:
– Si tienes un dolor de cabeza o fiebre ve al centro médico para una prueba. Uno se puede recuperar del ébola, si se detecta lo suficientemente temprano.
– Si alguien muere no toques el cadáver. Es altamente contagioso. No limpies la boca, no cierres los ojos.
– No comas carne de animales salvajes.
Los brotes previos de ébola han podido ser controlados. El profesor Peter Piot, director de la Facultad de Higiene y Medicina Tropical de Londres, fue el descubridor del virus en el Congo y lamenta lo que está sucediendo actualmente.
“No hemos aprendido las lecciones del pasado donde con medidas muy simples podemos contener esta epidemia”, señala. “Sin embargo, puedo entenderlo, porque la gente en África Occidental nunca ha sido expuesta al virus, algunas personas ni siquiera creen que el ébola existe”.
