Alyssa Milano under fire after supporting Joe Biden over MeToo claims. Biden was accused by former Nevada state assemblywoman Lucy Flores of making her feel uncomfortable at an event five years ago, saying she felt ‘powerless’ at his ‘intimate behavior.’
“Charmed” actress Alyssa Milano received a flurry of criticism after she defended former Vice President Joe Biden on Monday and promoted his 2020 candidacy amid allegations he inappropriately touched a number of women.
The backlash came after Milano appeared on MSNBC, where she attributed Biden’s behavior by describing it as “a culture difference.”
“For me, the thing that set this story — the Ms. Flores story — apart from all the other stories: To Joe, this was a culture difference, because culturally he was raised in a family that was super affectionate,” she told MSNBC’s Ali Velshi and Stephanie Ruhle on Monday.
Milano was referring to an allegation by Lucy Flores, a former Nevada assemblywoman, who accused Biden of “plant[ing] a big slow kiss on the back of my head.”
Milano defended Biden, saying that it was important that he wanted to learn from the experience. “For him, this was a realization of, well, everyone sort of grows up in a different household, and maybe my actions make other people uncomfortable, and it was an acknowledgment,” she told Velshi and Ruhle.
She mentioned how, during a private conversation between the two, Biden said he was willing to learn and listen — something she wished more powerful men would say “out loud.”
Her overall defense of Biden prompted backlash on Twitter, with some people taking aim at her appearing to excuse his conduct as the product of cultural differences.
On Twitter, some also indicated Milano was held to a double standard after she admitted that she expressed potentially inappropriate affection to a crewmember.
Biden has also shared his regret for the experience that Anita Hill had while testifying about her alleged experiences with Supreme Court Justice nominee Clarence Thomas.
Milano, after referencing Hill, warned not to: “look at [Biden’s] past myopically.”
“We really have to look at the big picture with co-authoring the Violence Against Women Act, starting ‘It’s On Us,’ always being a supporter of the women’s right to choose and women’s rights in general, and fighting for women to be on the Judiciary Committee after Anita Hill,” she said.
She went on to argue that the allegations against Biden shouldn’t prevent him from receiving the Democratic nomination in 2020. For her, the election was about beating Trump rather than pushing progressive policies.
Milano also previously called Biden a “friend” during an episode of the “Sorry Not Sorry” podcast, which she claimed was produced before the allegations surfaced. She hosted him for a discussion on sexual assault and the #MeToo Movement, something he praised.
“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.
Jeffrey Clark, a Donald Trump-appointed environment law chief at the Justice Department at the center of the former President’s efforts to overturn the election, received a high-level intelligence briefing around New Year’s 2021 that did little to stop his efforts to prove foreign interference had cost Trump reelection.
Clark is now a major figure in the narrative being written in documents and testimony from former Justice Department officials who were forced to fight off his efforts to orchestrate a coup of leadership at the Justice Department and use it to help the former President.
A stark portrayal of Clark is emerging from former Trump-appointed officials who were alarmed by his backchannel efforts to the White House and to Trump allies, and who now are now providing testimony to congressional committees. Richard Donoghue, acting deputy attorney general beginning in late December, provided a closed-door interview to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Friday. Jeffrey Rosen, the acting attorney Ggeneral at the time, is set to provide testimony in the coming days. A new House select committee examining events surrounding the January 6 Capitol attack also plans to ask for testimony from them and other witnesses.
By late December, as Trump and his allies pushed conspiracies about alleged irregularities that he claimed stole the election from him, Clark told senior Justice officials that he knew of sensitive information that indicated Chinese intelligence used special kinds of thermometers to change results in machines tallying votes, people briefed on the matter said. The Justice Department by then had made clear it found no evidence of vote-changing in the election.
On Monday, December 28, Clark – who also became assistant attorney general for the Justice civil division as top officials left in the waning months of the administration – sent an unusual email to his bosses asking them to allow him to have a classified briefing, according to people briefed on the matter.
At Rosen’s request, then-Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe provided the briefing, which drew on classified findings not yet public that showed there was no evidence that foreign interference had affected vote tallies. Rosen and other officials had acceded to his request for a classified briefing out of belief it could put a stop to his unfounded claims of election fraud, according to some of the sources.
Clark wasn’t swayed by what he heard from Ratcliffe, a Trump loyalist who had stirred controversy with comments seeking to support Trump’s pre-election foreign interference claims that China and Iran were working to elect Joe Biden just as Russia was trying to support Trump.
While the intelligence community did find that China and Iran had developed a preference for Biden, and Iran in particular had taken steps intended to undercut Trump’s reelection prospects, those efforts were characterized in a much different way than Russia’s multi-faceted interference campaign.
During the briefing, Clark expressed skepticism not of Ratcliffe’s personal motives, but the analysis from the intelligence community that he was presenting, the source added. Clark believed some intelligence officials were withholding certain information from Ratcliffe because they were concerned about it being politicized by the Trump administration or certain policymakers, the source also said.
An attorney for Clark declined to comment on the intelligence briefing. Ratcliffe declined to comment on the briefing.
Clark also told colleagues he was in touch with sources who knew more, including someone Justice officials later determined was Rep. Scott Perry, a Trump ally from Pennsylvania who helped Clark get in touch with the former President. Justice Department rules limit contact between department officials and the White House, and Clark’s contacts with Trump came as a shock to his superiors. Justice Department officials are also prohibited from discussing investigations with people outside of the department.
Clark’s December 28 email, released publicly by the House Oversight Committee, was sent to Rosen and Donoghue and described how Clark wanted US intelligence information from the Director of National Intelligence so he could assess whether Chinese-made digital thermometers could connect with voting machines.
“I would like to have your authorization to get a classified briefing tomorrow from ODNI led by DNI Radcliffe on foreign election interference issues,” Clark began his email, “hackers have evidence (in the public domain) that a Dominion machine accessed the Internet through a smart thermostat with a net connection trail leading back to China. ODNI may have additional classified evidence.”
Clark’s email also included his draft proposal for the Justice Department to press the state of Georgia to convene a special session to investigate the election, and assurances that the Department of Justice would look into election fraud as well. ABC News first published a copy of the email this week.
Donoghue and Rosen made clear they would not be signing or sending the letter to Georgia, and that the Justice Department would not be suggesting there was reason for a major election fraud investigation.
Until last December, Clark had led an unremarkable tenure as the department’s environmental law chief, one of many political appointees who didn’t particularly stand out during his occasional attendance at brown bag lunches with colleagues convened by former Attorney General William Barr in the attorney general’s dining room on the 5th floor of the Justice headquarters.
People who worked with him called him cerebral and wonky about his legal specialty. He came to the department from the large, prestigious Kirkland & Ellis law firm where he worked for years with Rosen and Barr, but never made enough of a mark to earn a share in the partnership.
A person who previously worked with him says Clark was the type of lawyer who took “no” to be an intellectual challenge to be proven wrong rather than a final answer.
Clark isn’t scheduled yet for an interview with the House Select Committee investigating January 6 and is awaiting access to documents the committee has and to see whether a fight over the secrecy of presidential discussions materializes, according to a person familiar with Clark’s thinking.
Trump’s private legal team has signaled it might go to court to fight for presidential privilege if the House pushes for more information than has already been agreed upon. That could open the door for Clark to refuse to testify as well. The Biden administration has signaled it won’t try to block the House Committee in its inquiry into Trump’s pressure on the Justice Department.
Noticias Telemundo has released new details of “Francisco en México,” its special coverage of Pope Francis’s historic visit to Mexico.

Not long ago, President Enrique Peña Nieto opened his hangar doors for the most expensive presidential jet in the entire world. This time, the investigative journalists team of Aristegui Noticias has exposed his nearly $7MM mansion, referred to as the ‘White House’. The residence is located in Lomas de Chapultepec, which is one of the most prestigious areas of Mexico City. Coincidentally, the luxurious home is neither under the President or his wife, Angelica Rivera’s name, but under Grupo Higa, a construction company which was on the verge of benefitting from a millionaire contract to build a train from DF to the city of Queretaro. The house is, however, adjacent to one of the actress’s residences in the parallel street.
While such contract recently fell through due to other construction company’s complaints about the little time they’d had to pitch for the projects, Mexico’s First Lady did call the mansion “their home.” In May 2013, Rivera gave her first interview as Peña Nieto’s wife to socialite magazine ‘¡Hola!’ where she said, “In our house, we lead our lives as normal as possible. I’ve let them know that ‘Los Pinos’ has been lent to us for only six years, but our true house, our home, is right here where this interview is taking place.”
The mansion known as “La Palma”, was built by architect Miguel Aragonés and painted in all white with a lighting system that can turn the walls, any color desired. Its luxuries include a huge, underground parking lot, an elevator connecting all floors, an outdoor living room and dining room, multiple bedrooms plus a main one with separate walk in closets, bathrooms and spa areas. The home of the presidential family is being maintained and looked after by the President’s staff (EMP) in the meantime, which are reportedly ensuring everything is adapted to the Peña’s family’s needs.
Grupo Higa, whose name the mansion is under, is affiliated with construction company Constructora Teya, which highly benefited from Peña Nieto’s government of Estado de México, as he granted the company numerous projects and helicopter rents.
President Donald Trump insisted Monday that his administration has “never abandoned” plans to construct a literal wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, breaking with his outgoing chief of staff, who said such plans were left behind early in Trump’s presidency.
“An all concrete Wall was NEVER ABANDONED, as has been reported by the media,” the president wrote on Twitter. “Some areas will be all concrete but the experts at Border Patrol prefer a Wall that is see through (thereby making it possible to see what is happening on both sides). Makes sense to me!”
Story Continued Below
Although Trump blamed the media for suggesting that his administration had abandoned plans for a wall, it was, in fact, White House chief of staff John Kelly who said as much in an interview over the weekend with the Los Angeles Times. Kelly, a retired Marine Corps general who first served Trump as secretary of Homeland Security before taking on the chief of staff role, will leave administration this week.
“To be honest, it’s not a wall,” Kelly said. “The president still says ‘wall’ — oftentimes frankly he’ll say ‘barrier’ or ‘fencing,’ now he’s tended toward steel slats. But we left a solid concrete wall early on in the administration, when we asked people what they needed and where they needed it.”
The president’s long-promised border wall has taken center stage over the holiday season, with Trump refusing to sign government-funding legislation that does not include significant appropriations for his signature campaign promise. Democrats, who will take control of the House of Representatives this week, have thus far refused to meet the president’s demand, closing wide swaths of the government for a shutdown now in its 10th day.
Trump and his advisers have at times sought to downplay the image of a concrete wall along the border, with the president arguing instead that the wall could be composed of steel slats so that it would be see-through. But the president has also insisted that the U.S. needs a “good old fashioned wall” along its southern border in order to be secure.
Critics of the wall have said the White House demand for $5 billion in funding would be a waste of money that could be better spent adding Border Patrol personnel or investing in other kinds of barriers or monitoring technology, which Kelly said he heard while he was in charge at the Department of Homeland Security.
The outgoing chief of staff told the L.A. Times that when he conferred with Customs and Border Patrol agents who “actually secure the border,” they told him, “‘well we need a physical barrier in certain places, we need technology across the board, and we need more people.’”
Trump claimed Monday that a “powerful” border wall was key to his campaign pledge of border security and called on congressional Democrats to return to Washington and address the issue, though Republicans still control both chambers of Congress for a few more days. At a meeting with Democratic leaders earlier this month, Trump declared he would be “proud” to shut down the government over his border wall and pledged “I will be the one to shut it down. I’m not going to blame you for it.”
“Our Southern Border has long been an ‘Open Wound,’ where drugs, criminals (including human traffickers) and illegals would pour into our Country. Dems should get back here an [sic] fix now,” Trump wrote Monday morning on Twitter.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responds to criticism from Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan following the State of the Union.
In what may be the most far-reaching proposal to ever be considered in Congress, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., unveiled her “Green New Deal” on Thursday — a government-led overhaul of virtually every aspect of American life that would guarantee a host of taxpayer-covered benefits for all and phase out fossil fuels.
Along the way, her office says the plan would aim to make air travel obsolete, upgrade or replace every building in America to ensure energy efficiency and give economic security even to those “unwilling” to work.
“Today is the day that we truly embark on a comprehensive agenda of economic, social and racial justice in the United States of America,” she said alongside Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., and other lawmakers outside the Capitol. “That’s what this agenda is all about.”
The plan, which calls for a massive package of big-government proposals including health care for all, quickly picked up the backing of major 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls including Sens. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Cory Booker, D-N.J. — who all co-sponsored the resolution.
“Our history is a testimony to the achievement of what some think is impossible — we must take bold action now,” Booker tweeted.
While the resolution itself would do very little because it is non-binding, it is the first time the policy proposal has been formally outlined in Congress. The resolution says “a new national social, industrial and economic mobilization on a scale not seen since World War II and the New Deal” is an opportunity to tackle systemic injustices toward minority groups, create millions of high-wage jobs and “provide unprecedented levels of prosperity and economic security for all people of the United States.”
Its proposals include “net-zero greenhouse gas emissions through a fair and just transition for all communities and workers;” job creation; infrastructure investment; guarantees of clean water, healthy food and sustainable environment; and a curiously undefined “access to nature.”
Beyond those broad proposals, the plan and accompanying documents from Ocasio-Cortez include a range of far-fetched goals — and drew swift scorn from Republicans and other critics. The Republican National Committee dubbed it a “socialist wish list” that would kill at least 1 million jobs and disrupt global trade — while costing trillions.
The resolution, for instance, includes a proposal to “upgrade all existing buildings” in the country in order to achieve energy efficiency, safety, affordability, durability and comfort.
An accompanying FAQ, released by Ocasio-Cortez’s office and obtained by NPR, goes even further, calling to “upgrade or replace every building in US for state-of-the-art energy efficiency.” A second similar FAQ on her website echoed some of those prescriptions though was later removed.
The resolution also backs the concept of high-speed rail as a proposal to reduce carbon emissions — but the FAQ goes so far as to urge that development “at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary.”
It also promises “economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work.” What constitutes economic security is not clear, but the plan does call for programs including a federal job guarantee, universal health care and “affordable, safe, and adequate housing.”
The FAQ also notes that it has set a goal of net-zero, rather than zero, emissions in 10 years “because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast.”
However, the push is likely to see resistance not only from Republicans, but even some Democrats. Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, was asked about the plan to replace planes with high-speed rail, and did not seem impressed.
“That would be pretty hard for Hawaii,” she laughed.
On Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared to dismiss the plan.
“It will be one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive,” Pelosi told Politico on Wednesday. “The green dream or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they’re for it right?”
Pelosi took a more conciliatory tone on Thursday, saying: “Quite frankly, I haven’t seen it, but I do know it’s enthusiastic and we welcome all the enthusiasm that is out there.”
But in the press conference outside the Capitol Thursday, Ocasio-Cortez said she didn’t mind the phrase “green dream.”
“I don’t consider that to be a dismissive term,” she said. It’s a great term.”

“Traté de ayudar, pero estaba indefenso”, dijo.
Ayuda de taxistas
Un taxista llamado Chris estaba también en el Puente de Londres en el momento del ataque.
“Vi a una joven siendo apuñalada en el pecho”, le dijo a la radio LBC.
“Le dije a mi pasajero que iba a tratar de golpearlo. Me di la vuelta y lo intenté, pero él me esquivó”, añadió.
Otro grupo de taxistas ofreció carreras gratis a cualquier persona atrapada en el área del puente.
Así fue el ataque del Puente de Londres
La estudiante de enfermería Rhiannon Owen estaba en un cajero cuando un taxista le gritó que huyera.
“Vi el cuchillo y empecé a correr tan rápido como pude”, dijo.
La joven de 19 años vio a un atacante detrás de ella y corrió hacia el pub Applebee, cercano al puente, donde se unió a 30 u 40 personas y se escondió en un almacén.
Owen dijo que le debe la vida al taxista y le pidió que se pusiera en contacto con ella: “Me salvaste la vida y te aseguraste de que otras personas estuvieran a salvo”.

“Acabo de llegar a darle agua fría a la policía. No es nada comparado con lo que hacen. Es sólo intentar retribuir con algo. Ellos nos protegen y nos salvan la vida”, dijo.
MOSCOW (Reuters) – The Kremlin said on Monday that Washington would need Russian consent to publish transcripts of phone calls between U.S. President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.
Congress is determined to get access to Trump’s calls with Putin and other world leaders, the U.S. House Intelligence Committee’s chairman said on Sunday, citing concerns that the Republican president may have jeopardized national security.
Asked about those comments, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters Russia would be prepared to discuss the issue with Washington if it sent Moscow a signal, but that such disclosures were not normal diplomatic practice.
“Of course their publication is to some extent only possible by mutual agreement of the parties. This is a certain diplomatic practice,” Peskov said.
“To be more specific, perhaps, diplomatic practice in general does not envisage their publication. If there are some signals from the Americans, then we will discuss (them).”
The Democratic-led House last week launched an impeachment inquiry into Trump in the aftermath of a whistleblower complaint alleging that Trump had solicited interference by Ukraine in the 2020 U.S. election for his own political benefit.
The White House released a memo summarizing Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy after the allegations set off a U.S. domestic political storm.

Se nos abrirá un menú con diferentes opciones, y nosotros tendremos que seleccionar la que pone Guardar. Esto lo podemos hacer con cualquier tipo de noticia, foto, o enlace que aparezca en nuestro muro de Facebook.
Una vez guardada la noticia, ya podremos verla en el momento que tengamos un rato libre sin tener que buscar por todo nuestro muro. Simplemente abrimos nuestra zona personal en Facebook, en el icono de la parte superior derecha de la pantalla, y en el apartado Aplicaciones hacemos clic en Ver todas. Ahora veremos una nueva sección que se llama Guardado, y clicamos sobre ella.
En esta sección podremos ver todas las noticias que hayamos guardado. Disponemos de un menú con varios apartados, para poder filtrar los resultados. En el apartado Todo veremos todas las noticas guardadas, pero si queremos ver sólo los enlaces, o sólo las fotos, o los lugares, simplemente tenemos que hacer clic en el botón correspondiente. Y si hacemos swype en ese menú hacia la derecha, veremos que al final de ese menú se encuentra el botón Archivar. Al hacer clic sobre él, las noticias guardadas en ese apartado dejarán de estar guardadas.

Inicia la semana con las noticias después de la jornada electoral en el Estado de México, Coahuila y Nayarit. El candidato del PRI mantenía una leve ventaja sobre su rival Delfina Gómez. El candidato del PRI obtuvo 33.70% de los votos frente al 30.81% de votos obtenidos por la candidata de Morena. Existen tres métodos que el Instituto Electoral del Estado de México usa para contar los votos emitidos en las elecciones de la localidad: El Programa de Resultados Electorales Preliminares, Conteo Rápido y Cómputo Distrital.
1. Ganadores y perdedores de las elecciones 2017
Aún es muy temprano para saber quiénes son los ganadores y perdedores de las elecciones del pasado domingo 4 de junio, pero algunos de los resultados ya dan algunos acercamientos de quiénes se beneficiaron y quiénes salieron perjudicados de la jornada electoral, con todo y que aún no hay resultados definitivos.
El gran boom de estas elecciones se debió a que el Estado de México es una entidad considerada por diversos especialistas como un “laboratorio electoral” con miras a las elecciones presidenciales del año siguiente, en este caso las del 2018. Por el momento podemos hablar de tendencias o de ventajas relativas, sin embargo algunos resultados distan de lo que se predecía; otros fueron sorpresivos, mientras que algunos se muestran innegables.

2. ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre el Conteo Rápido y el PREP?
El día de ayer los habitantes del Estado de México entraron en incertidumbre luego de que en diferentes plataformas se daban resultados completamente distintos sobre la contienda electoral. Por una parte el PREP le daba una ventaja a la candidata de Morena, Delfina Gómez, mientras que el Conteo Rápido del IEEM anunciaba que Del Mazo, el candidato del PRI, iba a la cabeza.
Existen tres métodos para que el Instituto Electoral del Estado de México cuente los votos emitidos en las elecciones del Estado de México: El Programa de Resultados Electorales Preliminares (PREP), el Conteo Rápido y el Cómputo Distrital. Los tres métodos son diferentes, tanto en su método de conteo, como en los objetivos.
El PREP y el Conteo Rápido son métodos preliminares y no definitivos y es probable que arrojen resultados diferentes debido a que sus metodologías cuentan con criterios y métricas diferentes. Si fuiste parte de esas personas que tuvieron dudas al respecto, sigue leyendo la nota completa.

3. Del Mazo lidera PREP en el Edoméx con 97.85% de actas contabilizadas
Con 97.85% de las actas contabilizadas, el candidato del PRI, Alfredo Del Mazo, obtenía 33.70% de los votos frente al 30.81% de su rival Delfina Gómez, del izquierdista Movimiento de Regeneración Nacional (MORENA).
Lo cerrado del resultado anticipa una batalla judicial por la elección desde el momento en que López Obrador, líder de MORENA, rechazó los resultados preliminares y dijo que según sus recuentos Gómez ganó la elección.
El PRI nunca estuvo tan cerca de perder el central Estado de México, su principal bastión, que el mismo partido llamó como el futuro del tricolor.

4. Sus deudas podrían ameritar una demanda de su banco
Las deudas son la principal razón por la cual los bancos demandan judicialmente a un usuario. Sin embargo, esto no tiene por qué ocurrir, incluso para usuarios que ya tienen un adeudo con su prestamista, no tiene que ser llevado a sus últimas consecuencias.
Cuando un banco decide proceder contra uno de sus clientes depende de cada entidad financiera, pero de acuerdo con Mario Di Costanzo, titular de la Comisión Nacional para la Protección y Defensa de los Usuarios de Servicios Financieros (Condusef), hay dos escenarios en los cuales se puede hallar el usuario. Si quieres saber cuáles son y qué es lo que puede pasar, entra a la nota completa.

5. Siete efectos visibles del calentamiento global en la CDMX
Donald Trump anunció la salida de su país del Acuerdo de París, un tratado internacional que busca regular las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, causantes del aumento global de la temperatura. Ésta es la principal causa de una serie de desastres naturales como el deshielo de los polos, el incremento de las inundaciones en muchas regiones del mundo y la desecación de áreas que años atrás eran fértiles.
México fue de los primeros países en formar parte del Acuerdo de París, el cual fue ratificado por la mayoría de los países entre el 2015 y el 2016. La Ciudad de México, una de las ciudades más grandes del país por densidad poblacional, ya está enfrentando las consecuencias del cambio climático, entérate cuáles son las más evidentes.
