James Rodríguez sólo ha podido jugar cinco partido en la Liga española esta temporada.
James Rodríguez fue galardonado el lunes como el mejor centrocampista de la Liga en España la pasada temporada.
Fue una elección que no estuvo exenta de controversia, ya que la estrella del fútbol colombiano no celebró ningún título con el Real Madrid y superó en la votación al español Andrés Iniesta y el francés Antoine Griezmann.

El futbolista colombiano fue considerado el mejor “centrocampista” del año pasado.
Pero lo cierto es que en su primera temporada de blanco James tuvo un gran desempeño, disputó 29 encuentros, anotó 13 goles y dio 12 asistencias.
El problema es que la percepción más reciente que se tiene del jugador del Real Madrid es la de un futbolista que no encuentra su sitio en el campo y que mantiene visibles diferencias con su técnico, Rafael Benítez.
En una temporada marcada por las lesiones, James lleva jugados tan sólo cinco encuentros en la presenta campaña en la Liga, dos de ellos de suplente, suma tres goles y una asistencia.

En lo que va de campaña, Rodríguez ha anotado tres goles, dos contra el Betis y uno frente al Sevilla.
Aunque los números no son tan diferentes a los acumulados en la temporada anterior, James no está contando con el mismo protagonismo bajo las órdenes de Benítez, con quien ha tenido un tenso intercambio de declaraciones.
Malestar
En su portada de este martes, Marca, el periódico deportivo de mayor circulación en España, titula con la palabra “Harto” y una foto de James, haciendo alusión al último episodio entre jugador y técnico luego de que James fuera sustituido en el minuto 64 de partido en la victoria 0-2 frente a Eibar.
El colombiano fue el primer jugador en salir del campo, cuando el Madrid lideraba el marcador por un gol.

El jugador ha tenido un intercambio de declaraciones con su técnico, Rafael Benítez, a quien contradijo al asegurar que estaba “mejor que nunca” fisicamente.
Cuatro días antes había sido sustituto contra el Shakthar por la Liga de Campeones, mientras que en la humillación recibida por el Barcelona en el Clásico, James fue cambiado en el minuto 57 de partido, siendo la única variante táctica de Benítez en ese partido.
El desencuentro se remonta a la pretemporada y al inicio de la Liga, cuando James se quedó en el banquillo en la primera fecha al no encontrarse en igual estado físico que sus compañeros, según explicó Benítez.
“Estoy mejor que nunca” dijo el futbolista tras anotar dos goles contra el Betis en la segunda jornada.

… y la decepción en la derrota 0-1 frente a Argentina.
Tras la lesión fue suplente en la derrota frente al Sevilla, anotando un gol, y fue decisivo en el empate 1-1 de Colombia en Chile por las eliminatorias sudamericanas.
“Para los que van diciendo que no estoy bien”, fue el recado que dejó con la camiseta de su selección.
¿Cuál es el problema?
Se podría pensar que James no es del agrado de Benítez o viceversa, pero el periodista del diario El País, Diego Torres, considera que hay algo más de fondo.
“Benítez no tiene ningún problema con él, de hecho le gusta más que (Gareth) Bale, pero lo considera más un medio punta que un centrocampista”, dijo Torres, que lleva más de 15 años en la capital española cubriendo al conjunto blanco.

Rodríguez sufrió en labores defensivas, como todo el Real Madrid, en el Clásico frente al Barcelona.
Torres recuerda el equipo titular del Real Madrid contra el Barcelona, con un dibujo táctico de cuatro defensores, tres centrocampistas y tres delanteros.
“Florentino Pérez (presidente del Real Madrid) creó un equipo para jugar con Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo y Bale, tres puntas. Allí James necesita bajar al centro del campo para equilibrar el equipo, en especial cuando los tres de arriba no defienden y no hacen otra cosa que atacar”.

Para el periodista Diego Torres James Rodríguez es más un mediapunta que un centrocampista.
“Pero allí James no rinde igual. Él hace lo que puede, pero cuando defiende no le queda energía para atacar, para encontrar el último pase, para tener claridad de los espacios“.
“Él se convirtió en el James que todos conocemos jugando de media punta, en el último tercio de la cancha”, concluyó Torres.
“Respaldo y confianza”
El trabajo para Benítez es encontrar el equilibrio en un conjunto formado por futbolistas que por su perfil son considerados titulares.
Aparte de Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale y James, el Real Madrid juegan con el alemán Toni Kroos y el croata Luka Modric, dos mediocentros de carácter ofensivo, de creación.

Rafael Benítez defiende el haber dosificado a James tras la lesión sufrida por el jugador a principios de septiembre.
“Para Florentino, James tiene que jugar, igual que Bale, que Benzema, que Ronaldo y cualquier entrenador que dirija al Real Madrid tendrá el mismo problema que Benítez, la difícil tarea de encontrar un balance“, agregó Torres.
Por lo pronto el técnico parece defender esta opinión y en la rueda de prensa previa al partido frente al Cádiz, por la Copa del Rey, Benítez aseguró que es cuestión de tiempo para que el jugador colombiano vuelva a ser indiscutido en el once titular.
“Es un futbolista que ha estado 55 días lesionado. No hay ningún problema con el jugador. Cuanto más entrene y más juegue será mejor para nosotros“, dijo.
“James tiene mi respaldo y mi confianza plena”, asegura Benítez. La cuestión es si el técnico podrá encontrar el equilibrio que tanto busca con James y el resto de las estrellas del equipo.
Frantic Philadelphia police dispatch audio captures the tense moments a suspected gunman battled cops in an hours-long standoff — wounding six officers and trapping two others inside the building.
Suspect Maurice Hill, 36, allegedly opened fire on officers with an AK-style rifle as they served a drug warrant at the house in the North Philly neighborhood around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Hill did not surrender to authorities until nearly midnight — and in the meantime, police scanner traffic reveals the harrowing moments gunfire rang out inside the home.
“We’ve got several shot officers!” a dispatcher says in the recording, obtained by local outlet FOX 29. “We’ve got an officer down! They’re still getting shot — shots fired!”
“I got an officer shot at this location in the leg!” one officer can be heard yelling. “They’re saying the shooter is in the kitchen. We’ve got an officer down. Radio: I want Erie Avenue shut down — right now.”
Some officers jumped out of windows in an attempt to escape, but two were trapped on the building’s second floor, according to reports.
One was trapped in a back bedroom with a male and a female hostage, and another in the bathroom with a male hostage, FOX News reported. Each of the hostages had already been handcuffed by the time the gunman opened fire, according to the report.
“Be advised. We’re still pinned down inside this location,” one of the officers says over the radio. “The male is inside the kitchen shooting upward and forward to the opposition of the police.”
SWAT teams and hostage negotiators were called in, and the three hostages and officers were ultimately able to escape unscathed. Three others were rushed to Temple University Hospital and three more to Einstein Medical Center, all with non-life-threatening injuries, according to reports.
Hill surrendered to cops after officers were able to reach him by phone and tossed tear gas into the building.
A key Republican involved in the negotiations over a border security deal said talks are at a stalemate with the deadline to avert another government shutdown fast approaching.
“I think the talks are stalled right now. I’m hoping we can get off the dime later today or in the morning because time is ticking away, but we got some problems with the Democrats dealing with [Immigration and Customs Enforcement], that is detaining criminals that come into the U.S. And they want a cap on them, we don’t want a cap on that,” Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., said during an interview on “Fox News Sunday.”
Shelby is among the bipartisan group of lawmakers working to reach agreement on a border security deal before Friday, when funding for a slew of government agencies will lapse again. A 35-day partial government shutdown ended late last month after President Trump signed a stopgap measure.
A point of contention for congressional negotiators is funding for a wall along the southern border, for which Trump wants $5.7 billion. Democrats are opposed to the demand.
The two sides have also reached a stalemate over immigrant detention beds that Immigration and Customs Enforcement can use. Democrats want to cap funding for the beds while Republicans oppose the restrictions. In order for an illegal immigrant to be detained there must be a bed for them, and a cap on beds would limit the number of detentions.
Lawmakers working on the deal huddled at Camp David this weekend for further talks with acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, though Shelby and Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., who is also working on the border deal, indicated another shutdown is possible.
“I’m not positive we will end up with a deal, but with this group of people and the folks from the House, I think we are going to end up with something that deals with detention beds, with barriers, with technology, with the challenges we have on the southern border in a commonsense way,” Tester, who joined Shelby on “Fox News Sunday, said. “Chairman Shelby is correct, time is of the essence. We need to move forward, we need to keep our eyes on this but I’m very hopeful, not positive, but very hopeful we can come to an agreement.”
Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, who invited lawmakers to Camp David this weekend to work on a deal, would not rule out another government shutdown.
“The president has to sign a piece of legislation in order to keep the government open. He cannot sign everything they put in front of him. There will be some things that simply we couldn’t agree to,” Mulvaney said on “Fox News Sunday.” “So the government shutdown is technically still on the table. We do not want it to come to that, but that option is still open to the president and will remain so.”
Shelby, meanwhile, said there is a “50-50” chance they reach an agreement, and noted Monday is effectively a deadline for lawmakers in terms of moving legislation through the House and Senate before funding lapses Friday.
“I’m not confident we’re going to get there,” he said.

Canada violated the constitutional rights of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou when border officials detained and interrogated her for hours, lawyers for Meng are alleging in a lawsuit against the Canadian government.
Meng, the chief financial officer of the Chinese telecom firm Huawei, was arrested by Canadian officials in December at the request of the United States. The U.S. had sought Meng’s arrest on charges of fraud, arguing Huawei had violated U.S. sanctions on Iran.
In detaining Meng, Canada became entangled in the ongoing legal battle between the U.S. and China, which have been sparring over alleged spying by the Chinese telecom company. China has detained more than a dozen Canadian citizens, possibly in retaliation for its arrest of Meng.
Meng, who is the daughter of Huawei’s founder, claims border officials engaged in a “deliberate and pre-meditated effort” to obtain evidence from her in violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the CBC reports. The Charter says that everyone has the right to be secure against “unreasonable search or seizure,” and has the right “not to be arbitrarily detained or imprisoned.”
Meng’s suit alleges that, after securing a warrant for her arrest, officers intentionally delayed that arrest to give them time to conduct a border check in order to extract information from her. The lawsuit implicates the U.S. Department of Justice, alleging that Canadian border officials detained Meng to obtain information “which they and the RCMP [Royal Canadian Mounted Police] and/or U.S. D.O.J. did not believe would be obtained if the Plaintiff was immediately arrested.”
The suit alleges border officials unlawfully seized cellphones, an iPad, and a computer, and then demanded Meng give police her passwords, the CBC reported.
On Friday, Canada said it would allow the extradition hearing against Meng to proceed. The U.S. has sought the extradition of Meng since her arrest. The Department of Justice unsealed criminal charges against Huawei in January, indicting the company on 13 criminal counts.
The U.S. in January unsealed 13 criminal criminal charges against the company; according to the New York Times, Huawei is expected to sue the U.S. this week for banning federal agencies from using the telecommunications company’s products. “It is part of a broad push by Huawei to defend itself against a campaign led by the United States to undermine the company, which Washington sees as a security threat.”
“We know that the E.U. will not renegotiate but they may offer some clarifications or addendums or some kind of promise of a future comprehensive trade and political agreement — but they will not really reopen the deal that London signed only three weeks ago,” Adriano Bosoni, senior Europe analyst at geopolitical intelligence firm Stratfor, told CNBC.
European Council President Donald Tusk has already made clear that the current Brexit agreement, which was approved by E.U. leaders in late November, is the only option on the table.
At the Brussels gathering, “the EU’s chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, will explain to the EU’s 27 leaders why the demands the U.K. Government is making would contradict the backstop, and so can’t be delivered,” Mujtaba Rahman, managing director for Europe at consultancy Eurasia Group, said in a Thursday note.
“We can perhaps repeat what it can and cannot do in a different format, but the negotiation on the backstop is done,” a senior European negotiator reportedly told Rahman.
The situation, however, isn’t entirely bleak for May.
“There are some signs coming out of the European Union that they might be looking to do things outside of the actual deal, maybe alongside it, side letters, agreements that could help with the interpretation … that might help [May] when she comes back to the Commons,” said Henry Newman, director of policy group Open Europe.
After Brussels, May has to reintroduce the Brexit deal in the British House of Commons, which is divided on the matter. Some want a softer agreement or a second referendum, while others seek a much harder Brexit deal.
“The problem is that the PM is bang in the center here,” Newman warned. “She’s in the middle of the road and the problem in politics is that when you’re in the middle of the road, you can get run over.”

Florida now has more than 12,000 hospital patients with the coronavirus — the highest number since the start of the pandemic. Schools are about to open in the state, and the governor says new COVID requirements are out of the question.
Inside Memorial Healthcare System in Broward County, ICU beds are once again filling up fast, CBS News’ Manuel Bojorquez reports.
“It has gone up 400% in the last six weeks,” said Aurelio Fernandez, the president and CEO of Memorial, which recently added 266 beds to keep up with demand.
Hospitals are also facing staffing shortages. Sixty percent of hospitals in the state could see a critical staffing shortage within the next week, according to the Florida Hospital Association.
President Biden called out hot-spot governors this week, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, for failing to implement restrictions, including mask mandates in schools.
“If you’re not going to help, at least get out of the way of people trying to do the right thing,” Mr. Biden said on Tuesday.
DeSantis signed an executive order late last week barring school districts from forcing students to mask up, despite guidance from the CDC saying masks should be required of everyone inside K-12 schools. He signed it to “protect parents’ freedom to choose” whether their children wear masks in schools.
DeSantis said of the president on Wednesday, “He thinks that should be a decision for the government, well I can tell ya in Florida, the parents are gonna be the ones in charge of that decision.”
The governor argued during a press conference in Panama City that Mr. Biden’s immigration policies are responsible for the COVID surge, claiming, without any evidence, that undocumented immigrants are causing the virus to spread.
“Why don’t you get this border secure, and until you do that, I don’t want to hear a blip about COVID from you,” DeSantis said of the president.
The rise of COVID of Florida is because of the highly-contagious delta variant, and because of permissive behavior, said CBS News medical contributor Dr. David Agus.
“With low vaccination rates and … going out without masks and in large groups you’re going to get significant spread of the virus, period,” he said.
The surge in infections in the state includes children. As of Wednesday, 135 children under 18 in Florida were hospitalized with COVID, the highest it’s ever been.
John Moreno Escobar, who is running for the Broward County School Board and whose son, Luca, will begin first grade this year, said, “the minimum we could do to protect all of the people who decided to get vaccinated or not is to put our mask on, even if we’re vaccinated.”
He believes it’s up to parents to convince those who are hesitant.
“We are protecting others by putting the mask on,” he said. “Putting a mask is protecting the life of someone else, and life is sacred and we should protect it all as a community.”
“I inherited this situation,” Mr. Moreno said in a video address this week.
Fernando Cutz, a former senior adviser to H.R. McMaster, the former national security adviser, and a Latin America policy specialist at the White House, acknowledged that American officials regularly spoke with their Ecuadorean counterparts about handing over Mr. Assange.
But Mr. Cutz argued that Ecuadorean officials did not simply cave to American demands. They wanted Mr. Assange gone as well, he said.
“We would definitely raise it with Ecuador,” Mr. Cutz said. “It was a bilateral irritant, without a doubt. But I don’t think the U.S. pressure ended up being the reason for this move. Bettering relations with the U.S. was just the icing on the cake for Moreno. Assange was his own worst enemy.”
Mr. Assange’s odyssey with Ecuador began in 2012, when he skipped a bail hearing to avoid being extradited to Sweden, where he was wanted for questioning in connection to accusations of “rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion.”
Ecuador’s president at the time, Rafael Correa, had been criticized in his own country for a crackdown against the press. But in Mr. Assange, the Ecuadorean president found a symbol of his challenge to the United States, which he called an imperialist power. Mr. Assange was free to stay in the embassy as long as he pleased, Mr. Correa said.
But by 2016, a change in power was afoot in both the United States and in Ecuador. Hillary Clinton, who had run the State Department during the enormous leak of information by WikiLeaks in 2010, was running for president. Mr. Assange also had reason to worry about the coming election in Ecuador, where his stay in the embassy was becoming a campaign issue as well.
On Oct. 7, 2016, a tape was leaked showing Mrs. Clinton’s opponent, Donald J. Trump, boasting of sexually harassing women while filming a segment for the show “Access Hollywood,” sending Mr. Trump’s campaign into a major crisis.
Both cities have been under heavy bombardment. The mayor of Mariupol had been pleading on Friday for humanitarian corridors to allow people to flee and bring in food and medical supplies. Mariupol has had no water, heat or electricity and is running out of food after coming under attack by Russian forces for the past five days, the mayor said. In Volnovakha, the attack has been so intense that dead bodies lie uncollected, those trapped in shelters are running out of supplies, and 90% of buildings are damaged or destroyed, local MP Dmytro Lubinets said.
Proposed amendments to a Hong Kong extradition bill that would allow the transfer of criminals to China drew hundreds of thousands of protesters. Wochit
Hundreds of thousands of protesters flooded the streets of Hong Kong on Sunday to demonstrate against proposed amendments to an extradition bill, which would allow the transfer of those accused of crimes to mainland China.
The massive demonstration took place just three days before Hong Kong’s full legislature considers the bill, which critics fear would let China target political opponents in the former British colony and could undermine its judicial independence.
The Sunday protest was one of the biggest in recent Hong Kong history. Police estimated the crowd at 240,000; organizers said it was closer to 1 million.
After around 10 hours of peaceful protest, tensions rose when a group of protesters stormed the barriers at the government headquarters. The group briefly made it to the lobby, but police responded with batons and pepper spray.
Here’s a closer look:
Why is the bill controversial?
Hong Kong was a British colony until 1997 when it was handed over to China as a territory. However, the city is still semi-autonomous, retaining its own political, social and legal systems as part of the “one country, two systems” agreement.
Opponents say the extradition bill will allow China to increase control over Hong Kong’s legal system and will target political dissidents, who critics fear could then face unfair trials.Proponents, namely the city’s government, say the revised bill will help fight crime and maintain order.
Hong Kong currently limits extraditions to jurisdictions with which it has prior agreements with, or on a case-by-case basis. China was excluded because of concerns over its troubled history with legal independence and human rights.
The amendments would allow Hong Kong courts to extradite people to jurisdictions even lacking this prior agreement. Despite widespread opposition, Hong Kong’s Chief Executive Carrie Lam has championed the legislation.
People from all walks of life marched in the streets Sunday, from toddlers to the elderly, wearing white to symbolize the color of light, according to the South China Morning Post.
“If I didn’t come out now, I don’t know when I would have the chance to express my opinion again,” said Kiwi Wong, a 27 year-old protester. “Because now we’ve got to this stage, if you don’t come out to try to do what you can, then it will end up too late, you won’t be able to say or do anything about it.”
Retired primary school teacher Pun Tin-chi expressed his frustration with officials, telling the Post the amendments will prevent Hong Kong from becoming a safe haven for criminals.
“I don’t even know what I can say to these officials,” Tin-chi said. “All I can say is, I am already 70 years old and I cannot believe I am witnessing how they have been telling lie after lie.”
Activist Lee Cheuk-yan, a former Hong Kong legislator, said the autonomy of Hong Kong needs to be protected and noted potential economic drawbacks to the revisions.
“The people of Hong Kong want to protect our freedom, our freedom of speech, our rule of law, our judicial system and also our economic foundation, which is welcome to international investors,” Cheuk-yan said. “If international investors lose confidence in Hong Kong because of this evil bill, then Hong Kong, economically, would also be destroyed.”
In a statement late Sunday, the government acknowledged the rights of the protesters to voice their criticisms.
“We acknowledge and respect that people have different views on a wide range of issues,” the statement said. “The procession today is an example of Hong Kong people exercising their freedom of expression within their rights as enshrined in the Basic Law and the Hong Kong Bill of Rights Ordinance.”
Lam’s government claims the revisions are needed in order to close legal loopholes. It will formally put forward the amendments of the bill on Wednesday and hopes for approval by the end of the month.
NUEVA YORK — El papa Francisco ha respaldado a Donald Trump como presidente; una pizzería de Washington DC es la fachada de una banda de pederastas; el magnate y filántropo estadounidense George Soros “derribará” a Estados Unidos financiando a “organizaciones negras que promueven la intolerancia”.
Estos son solo algunos ejemplos de noticias falsas que se viralizaron en las redes sociales recientemente, pese a que no tienen fundamento alguno. El jueves, Facebook anunció que tomaría algunas medidas para detener la propagación de estas “noticias falsas” en su sitio web.
Esto incluye trabajar con las organizaciones que revisan información y acabar con los incentivos financieros para quienes llama “la peor gente de la peor”, porque envía correo basura y lucra con las noticias falsas. Sin embargo, hay cosas básicas que los lectores pueden hacer para detectarlas. Una posibilidad es reportarlas a Facebook, que puede revisar su contenido.
Constate la fuente
Algunos sitios fraudulentos, creados para atraer con tal de ganar dinero con anuncios publicitarios, tienen diseños que parecen sitios web legítimos y conocidos. Esta tomadura de pelo puede ser muy efectiva, pero hay indicios sobresalientes de que no son verdaderas.
Por ejemplo, cuidado con los artículos en sitios cuyas direcciones electrónicas, o URL, terminan en “com.co”, alerta Melissa Zimdars, profesora de comunicaciones de Merrimack College, cuya lista de “noticias falsas” se viralizó. (Desde entonces, ella lo ha retirado y publicado una guía más general). También se puede consultar la página “About” del sitio web, su lista de contactos, y otras historias y fotos. Si las cosas se ven poco oficiales, probablemente estás en un sitio fraudulento.

Daniela Giraldo Sierra, de 22 años, y Mateo Sepúlveda Jaramillo, de 21, negaron las acusaciones por homicidio agravado.
Sin embargo, el juez 11 de Medellín con Función de Control de Garantías decidió cobijarlos con medida de aseguramiento intramural en centro carcelario.
Ambos son señalados como responsables de la muerte de Miguel Ángel Rivera Giraldo, un pequeño de 2 años que no sobrevivió al maltrato al que fue sometido, denunció Sara Giraldo, hermana de Daniela.
El niño falleció durante la madrugada del viernes producto de una golpiza, a pesar de que fue llevado a la Clínica Las Américas para que intentaran salvarle la vida.
El subcomandante operativo de la Policía Metropolitana del Valle de Aburrá dijo que “se encuentran a puertas de entrar a la audiencia de solicitud de legalización de la captura y medida de aseguramiento”.
Karen Abudinen, directora general de Instituto Colombiano de Bienestar Familiar (ICBF), rechazó este hecho de violencia en el que falleció el menor Miguel Ángel Rivera Giraldo.
La detención de estas dos personas se produjo después de la jornada de disturbios que se registró el viernes 16 de septiembre en el barrio donde vivía el menor y en donde el Escuadrón Móvil Anti Disturbios (Esmad) tuvo que intervenir, pues la comunidad y los familiares se empeñaban en hacer justicia por cuenta propia.
“Lo más triste de este caso es que mucha gente después de que sucedieron los hechos se acercaron a manifestar que había una violencia doméstica, que había violencia contra el menor, y estas personas nunca denunciaron a tiempo”, manifestó el coronel Restrepo.
“Intentamos ver qué estaba pasando pero siempre que nos intentábamos acercar recibíamos una amenaza, siendo de mi hermana o siendo del tipo”, dijo Sara, tía del pequeño.
Durante las audiencias contra Daniela y Mateo la Fiscalía reveló que este habría amenazado a tres de los siete testigos del presunto maltrato del que era víctima Miguel Ángel.
A California wildfire has completely burned down a famed three-Michelin-star restaurant in Napa Valley.
The acclaimed The Restaurant at Meadowood was reduced to rubble Monday in the Glass Fire that has ripped through Napa County and forced thousands to flee their homes, the local ABC affiliate reported.
“We are all torn apart,” Christopher Kostow, TRAM’s head chef, wrote on Instagram Monday.
“A Eulogy is deserved, and will be given in due time…for now, I want to thank all of the TRAMily that have ever graced this magical space — and all of the guests over the years who have enjoyed the efforts of these multitudes,” Kostow continued.
Insider reported that the restaurant has plans to rebuild and reopen.
“Napa Valley and California have seen their share of challenges and have always demonstrated a resiliency that others emulate,” Kostow told the outlet. “The important thing right now is to protect lives and property, and address the bigger issue of climate change.”
The fast-growing Glass Fire ignited in Napa Valley around 4 a.m. local time Sunday and tripled in size over the course of a day. It’s now burned through 42,560 acres (66 square miles) with 0 percent containment, the station reported.
Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency Monday in Napa, Sonoma and Shasta counties as a trio of fires burn through the areas.
“If you’re in the area please stay safe and heed all warnings from your local officials,” the governor tweeted.
The Restaurant at Meadowood was one of at least 80 buildings destroyed by the Glass Fire, which has also consumed homes and wineries, CNN reported.
The Restaurant at Meadowood was one of just seven restaurants in the state to have received three stars, the highest rating.
“Few parts of the country have such a concentration of this nostalgic genre of fine dining: grand destination restaurants with big reputations, extravagant food and deep wine cellars,” wrote New York Times critic Tejal Rao in a 2019 review of TRAM and other fine dining options in the Napa area.
Rao called the food “delicious” but “dull,” offering “amazing precision, sky-high prices and a sedating sort of predictability.”
La confesión del supuesto asesino de los barberos limeños, así como la creación de un ser que serí capaz de sobrevivir a un accidente de tránsito, destaca en el resumen de noticias de este sábado, en donde también se informa que una conductora se llevó una bomba de combustible en San Pedro Sula.

Graham, el hombre inmune a los accidentes de tránsito
Se llama Graham y, pese a ser inanimado, tiene una importante lección vital. Su aspecto es el que debería tener un hombre con grandes posibilidades de sobrevivir a un accidente de tráfico. Su cabeza es más ancha (una especie de casco natural), sus costillas ultrarresistentes, no tiene cuello para no poder partirse la médula cervical… En definitiva, un cuerpo capaz de salir ileso de un choque a gran velocidad.
La escultura -realizada con fibra de vidrio, silicona, resina y pelo humano- es un encargo de las autoridades de seguridad vial del Estado de Victoria (este de Australia) a la artista local Patricia Piccinini. Se exhibe en Melbourne y a partir del 8 de agosto recorrerá otras ciudades de la zona. La idea es que quienes se acercan a Graham no solo se fijen en su aspecto exterior, sino que también vean cómo es por dentro gracias a tecnologías de realidad aumentada.
Todo para darse cuenta de lo diferente que es a cualquier humano. Porque Graham tiene un mensaje: “No tienes lo que yo tengo pero, si conduces prudentemente, no lo necesitarás”.
Sobrinos de Nicolás Maduro admitieronque traficaron drogas de las Farc
Los sobrinos del gobernante venezolano Nicolás Maduro, quienes enfrentan cargos de narcotráfico en Nueva York, pretendían realizar múltiples envíos de droga a Estados Unidos y aseguraban que estaban en posesión de cocaína de alta pureza suministrada por las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC), según documentos de la corte. La información proviene directamente de las palabras de los propios sobrinos, Efraín Antonio Campo Flores y Franqui Francisco Flores de Freitas, quienes expresaron sus aspiraciones delante de informantes encubiertos de la Agencia Antinarcóticos (DEA) y posteriormente ante agentes federales en confesiones tomadas después de que fueran arrestados en Haití en octubre del 2015.
Los documentos introducidos en la corte también mencionan testimonios brindados por el propio Campo donde inicialmente atribuyó la motivación de enviar droga a Estados Unidos a la necesidad de conseguir fondos para las pasadas elecciones parlamentarias.
Conductora se lleva bomba de gasolinera en San Pedro Sula
Nuevamente una gasolinera en San Pedro Sula es escenario de la imprudencia o inexperiencia de un conductor. Una bomba de combustibles fue arrastrada por una conductora en una estación ubicada en el bulevar del este a la altura de la colonia Tepeaca.
La mujer conducía un vehículo tipo turismo color blanco y al parecer al retroceder perdió el control y dice que no le funcionaron los frenos. Este es el tercer accidente de este tipo en una estación de gasolineras en la ciudad.

Este sábado en Miami, Florida, la virtual candidata demócrata, Hillary Clinton, presenta a su compañero de fórmula, el senador de Virginia Tim Kaine. El senador demócrata visitó en esa ocasión el Instituto Técnico Loyola en El Progreso,Yoro, donde fue maestro por un año en la década de 1980.
“Al llegar a Honduras la experiencia de trabajar fue muy buena, ayudé a los chicos a aprender de carpintería y ellos me enseñaron español. En Honduras aprendí de valores, de fe y sobre el trabajo”, dijo.
Durante entrevista en el programa radial “Mientras tanto y por si Acaso”, transmitido por La Radio del Sur, el Director General de la Comisión Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (Conatel),William Castillo, ofreció detalles sobre la suspensión del cobro de tarifas de las compañías de telecomunicaciones en el país.
Aseveró que hasta que se logren los acuerdos las tarifas no entrarán en vigencia, por lo tanto si a algún usuario le facturan en base a ello, se le retribuirá más adelante.
En tal sentido, informó que se instaló una mesa técnica en aras de lograr un equilibrio entre la protección de los derechos de los usuarios y las necesidades financieras de las empresas, permitiendo un ajuste adecuado para la sostenibilidad de los servicios.
O’Rouke, Castro compare Trump to the Third Reich; reaction from former ICE director Tom Homan and Catalina magazine founder Cathy Areu.
Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke is once again taking aim at Benjamin Netanyahu, going so far as to label the conservative Israeli leader a “racist” who’s an obstacle to Mideast peace.
Asked about the peace process while campaigning in Iowa City, Iowa, the former three-term congressman from Texas said that “the U.S.-Israel relationship is one of the most important relationships we have on the planet.”
But targeting Netanyahu, O’Rourke argued that if the U.S.-Israeli relation is to be successful going forward, “it must be able to transcend a prime minister who is racist as he warns of Arabs coming to the polls who want to defy any prospect for peace, as he threatens to annex the West Bank and who has sided with a far-right racist party in order to maintain his hold on power.”
O’Rourke’s criticism came just hours before Tuesday’s election in Israel, where the longtime leader is fighting to keep his right-wing government in power and keep his job as prime minister, all while staring down allegations of corruption.
If he wins, Netanyahu would become the longest-serving prime minister in Israeli history.
O’Rourke’s pointed comments weren’t the first time he’s slammed Netanyahu. Last month, campaigning in the first-in-the-nation primary state of New Hampshire, he charged that “we have a prime minister in Israel who has openly sided with racists.”
At the time, O’Rourke also jabbed at Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.
“On the Palestinian side, we have an ineffectual leader. Mahmoud Abbas has not been very effective in bringing his side to the table,” he lamented.
He also criticized Abbas during Sunday’s stop in Iowa.
Lieberman, who ran unsuccessfully for the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination before becoming an independent, claimed that while Netanyahu’s “opinionated” and “controversial,” he’s not intolerant.
“This is an ally in the midst of an election,” he said on Fox Business Network during an appearance on ‘Varney & Co.’ on Monday. “What I would say, and I know Prime Minister Netanyahu a long time, I agree with him a lot of the time, I sometimes disagree — he’s not a racist.”
O’Rourke’s comments were part of a larger debate within the Democratic Party over Netanyahu and his government’s treatment of Palestinians.
Netanyahu is close with Republican President Trump. In the weeks leading up to the Israeli contest, Trump hosted Netanyahu at the White House and signed a proclamation recognizing the Golan Heights as part of Israel, overturning longstanding U.S. policy.
The two moves appeared to give Netanyahu a foreign policy boost in the closing weeks before the election.

Shontel Brown has narrowly won the Democratic primary to replace former Ohio U.S. Rep. Marcia Fudge, according to a race call from The Associated Press, marking a victory for more moderate Democrats in the closely watched contest.
Cleveland area voters chose Brown, the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party chair and a county councilwoman, over Nina Turner, a former Ohio state senator and co-chair of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential run, and a bevy of other candidates.
Turner had jumped out to a money and early polling lead in Ohio’s 11th Congressional District, and had broader name recognition.
She also secured the endorsements of leftists like Sanders and the so-called Squad, including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and Cori Bush.
Brown, meanwhile, had the backing of establishment favorites, including Hillary Clinton and House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn of South Carolina.
The seat opened up after Fudge was appointed to head the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Ohio’s 11th district is traditionally Democratic leaning, and so Brown’s primary win makes it likely that she will secure the seat. She’ll face Republican Laverne Gore, who won the GOP primary.
15th Congressional District
Elsewhere in Ohio, voters in the 15th Congressional District on Tuesday chose nominees to replace former Republican Rep. Steve Stivers, who left the seat in the spring to become president and CEO of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce.
The Associated Press called the GOP primary for coal lobbyist Mike Carey, who had the backing of former President Donald Trump.
Carey will face the Democratic nominee, state Rep. Allison Russo.
The primary win for Carey follows a recent special congressional election in Texas, where Trump’s endorsed candidate lost in a runoff to a fellow Republican.
“(Las pantallas plasma) son las más requeridas para que puedan ver las novelas en su rato de descanso. No (vean) las noticias porque no crean que son tan buenas las noticias, vean más bien las novelas y sobre todo las novelas buenas, así es que yo espero que traigan mucha suerte”, dijo.
A pesar de que al final del evento sostuvo que todo había sido parte de una broma, las personas no quedaron contentas con lo dicho por el mandatario local.
Además de los comentarios lanzados a través de las redes sociales, en donde se critica que lo que se trate de inculcar esté alejado de la realidad del país, los movimientos políticos también se pronunciaron.
Esta actitud además de insultar la inteligencia de los ciudadanos da seguimiento o continuidad a las políticas nacionales establecidas por el presidente Enrique Peña Nieto, al dejar entrever que los gobiernos le apuestan al entretenimiento más que a la educación a la que tienen derecho los mexicanos”, sostuvo Adriana Díaz Negrete, dirigenta del Partido Acción Nacional, PAN.
Las declaraciones del Alcalde quedaron grabadas en un video que se subió a las redes sociales.
