David Blanco.- El responsable de los Comités Locales de Abastecimiento y Producción Freddy Bernal, anunció que la instancia contará con un “jefe de calle” que tendrá como función un mayor acercamiento con las comunidades, “él o ella es quien tendrá relación directa con las familias, esa personas tocará la puerta de las vivienda” para saber si ese grupo familiar está recibiendo la bolsa o caja del Clap.
Informó que esta semana se estará instalando en la Vicepresidencia de la República una Sala de Control y Seguimiento, para constatar que las 6 millones de familias sean beneficiadas con los Clap “con esto sabremos si los alimentos llegan a las viviendas, porque puede ocurrir que tengamos los insumos pero no tengamos la capacidad de distribuirlos” por eso se implementa este mecanismo, dijo durante una entrevista realizada en el programa Dando Y Dando.
Agregó que actualmente hay 1500 inspectores presidenciales, “cuando se reciba una denuncia, se enviarán a la zona y ellos elegirán el 1% los Clap del lugar para verificar que la información que está siendo reflejada por el Estado Mayor Municipales y Estadales es correcta”.
Resaltó que “cada vez que hay un ciclo electoral en el país la producción de alimentos en la empresa Polar cae, en el caso del dólar se dispara, estos dos problemas causa un nivel de angustia en la población, por eso surgieron los Clap para enfrentar esa batalla”
Reiteró que en coordinación con el ministro de Comunicación e Información Ernesto Villegas, están trabajando para que el programa “La hora de los Clap” tenga un espacio en la televisión, en el horario de 7 a 9 de la noche.
Detenidos
Informó que en el estado Falcón, fueron detenidos todos los representantes del Estado Mayor de esa entidad por estar involucrados en actos de corrupción.
“Ya fueron detenidos y están a la orden de la fiscalía, tienen 45 días para defenderse”, apuntó.
De igual forma, comentó que en las próximas 72 horas se aplicará una orden de privativa de libertad contra un un funcionario de la gobernación por estafar a varias familias.
Giuliani met with multiple Ukrainian officials as he continued his effort to counter House Democrats’ impeachment probe and paint an investigation into the Bidens as a matter critical to the relationship between the two countries.
Giuliani has been a central figure in House Democrats’ investigation into Trump’s conduct. He is also reportedly the subject of an ongoing investigation in the Southern District of New York.
Photos posted on social media show Giuliani met during the week with a former Ukrainian diplomat who has propagated an unsubstantiated theory that Ukraine meddled to help Democrats in the 2016 election. He also huddled with a Ukrainian lawmaker who proposed a joint corruption investigation between the U.S. and Ukraine.
Giuliani tweeted Thursday that an investigation into Biden’s conduct has not been resolved and until it is will be a major obstacle to the US assisting Ukraine with its anti-corruption reforms.”
Trump has defended Giuliani in recent weeks when the former New York City mayor has come up in impeachment proceedings, hailing him as a great crime-fighter who cares about corruption.
But the president sought some distance when he denied late last month that he had directed Giuliani to go to Ukraine on his behalf.
A White House spokesman said Friday that, to his knowledge, Giuliani is still the president’s personal attorney, but it was unclear if Trump was aware of Giuliani’s latest activities in Ukraine.
“That’s a question between Rudy and the president,” deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley said.
The New York Times first reported that Giuliani met in Budapest with former Ukrainian prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko, who Democrats have accused of being part of a smear campaign to oust the former U.S. ambassador in Kyiv.
A crew from the conservative One America News Network (OAN) was also in tow to film Giuliani’s meetings as part of a counter-narrative to the impeachment hearings.
Giuliani could not be reached for comment, but his tweets posted throughout his trip gave a glimpse into his effort to dredge up damaging information about Trump’s political opponents.
“In reviewing my notes, it seems to me that a large-scale joint investigation into Ukraine and the US would uncover and recover billions stolen by crooks, from both countries, at the highest levels,” Giuliani tweeted Friday. “This would be the most effective way to bring our two countries together.”
The idea of a joint investigation appeared to stem from a meeting with Andriy Derkach, an independent Ukrainian lawmaker who previously served as a member of a pro-Russia party in parliament and as head of Ukrainian intelligence. He reportedly attended a KGB-affiliated high school in Moscow.
Derkach posted a photo of a meeting with Giuliani on Facebook. The two men can be seen holding a document up, and Derkach wrote that they discussed a joint commission to tackle corruption.
“Thank you @RudyGiuliani for your work and what you do for @realDonaldTrump, because we are fighting for the #TRUTH!” Telizhenko tweeted Friday with photos of himself and Giuliani. “You are a great friend of Ukraine and a Patriot of US. Hope to see you soon back in Kyiv.”
The meetings come as some Republican lawmakers have increasingly entertained the unfounded theory that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election. The U.S. intelligence committee concluded that Russia meddled in the 2016 election.
Giuliani’s trip came on the heels of a 300-page report from the House Intelligence Committee alleging that Trump made U.S. security aid and a White House meeting for Ukraine conditional on the country announcing investigations into Trump’s political rivals.
Government officials testified last month that it was Giuliani who was urging Ukraine to announce those investigations, and they alleged that the president’s personal attorney was conducting a shadow foreign policy outside of regular diplomatic channels.
Giuliani maintained that he was acting on behalf of his client and has insisted he will ultimately produce information that undercuts claims against Trump.
He was further drawn into the impeachment inquiry when the House Intelligence Committee obtained phone records that showed him in frequent contact with the White House on Aug. 8.
Giuliani and Trump have both downplayed the call records.
“You know, is that supposed to be a big deal?” Trump said when asked about the records during a NATO meeting. “I don’t think so. Rudy is a great gentleman, and they’re after him only because he’s done such a good job.”
But Trump’s allies have long been uneasy about Giuliani’s role, particularly given his propensity to make new revelations during television appearances.
Giuliani’s latest trip drew more skepticism from some in the GOP, even among Trump’s fiercest defenders.
Gaetz added that it would be “helpful” if the former mayor clarified the role he’s playing in Ukraine.
“But the Rudy Giuliani I know is the Rudy Giuliani who, like, fought the mob when it wasn’t a popular thing to do,” Gaetz said. “He’s someone who put his life on the line in 9/11, so if there’s anyone that ought to maybe get the benefit of the doubt, it would probably be Mayor Giuliani.”

Although oil companies are still assessing the damage at the oil rigs, platforms and refineries that were struck by Hurricane Ida, signs point toward a limited impact on gasoline availability and prices.
AAA has warned of price volatility, and several analysts expect temporary price increases of several cents, but experts are not expecting a dramatic or prolonged disruption to the market.
“This is not Katrina,” says Richard Joswick, head of oil analytics at S&P Global Platts. After Hurricane Katrina made landfall — exactly 16 years earlier — gas prices immediately shot up by 45 cents and remained elevated for two months.
More than a million homes were left without power after Hurricane Ida made landfall Sunday night as a powerful Category 4 storm. The storm had strengthened rapidly, a phenomenon that is increasingly common for tropical storms as a result of global warming.
Oil companies checking for damages; Exxon is resuming normal operations
As Hurricane Ida approached, oil companies rushed to evacuate personnel and shut down operations in the Gulf of Mexico, as is standard practice for an approaching major storm.
On Sunday, the federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement reported that 95.65% of oil production in the Gulf of Mexico had been temporarily closed down, as well as 93.75% of natural gas production.
Those are eye-popping percentages. But the key question for oil markets is whether any of the infrastructure was damaged. If not, Gulf producers could restart drilling and pumping in a matter of days. However, if equipment was broken by the storms, they could remain offline much longer.
Companies are in the process of checking for damage. ExxonMobil reports that its Hoover platform was undamaged and is in the process of resuming normal operations. Shell has confirmed that three platforms that were in the storm’s path are “all intact and on location,” although the company doesn’t have an estimate for when production will resume. Other operators, including BP and Equinor, say it is too soon to provide an update.
The energy data company Enverus says that in general, “early reports do not suggest that there has been severe long-lasting damage to oil infrastructure.” U.S. crude prices dipped slightly on Tuesday, indicating that markets are not worried about a lack of supply.
Refineries grappling with widespread power outages
In addition to the offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, a number of refineries along Louisiana’s Gulf Coast were affected by the storm. The Department of Energy reports that at least nine refineries have partially or fully cut production, with about 13% of U.S. refining capacity affected.
The storm’s most devastating winds passed just east of major refineries, but flooding damage remains a concern. And direct storm damage is not the only risk. Refineries also require electricity — and Hurricane Ida knocked out power for a large swath of Louisiana and Mississippi, with more than a million customers in the dark.
Damage assessments are still underway, and even if refineries make it through the storm unscathed, it’s not clear how long it will take to restore power to all the facilities. Some analysts are forecasting that it may take weeks, which could be a significant disruption to regional gasoline production.
The Environmental Protection Agency has issued a waiver for Louisiana and Mississippi, allowing winter gasoline to be sold in the area to address concerns about fuel supply. (Normally, the EPA requires the use of less-volatile, slightly more expensive fuel in the summer, because otherwise hot weather would create more dangerous fumes from gas.)
Impact on prices expected to be modest; U.S. is now less reliant on oil from the Gulf
Despite the substantial disruption to oil production and refining, most analysts anticipate a relatively limited impact to the market as a whole.
That’s not the same as no impact: Gasoline prices have already risen by several cents a gallon, and storm-influenced price fluctuations could continue for a few weeks. And gas prices were high this summer to begin with. But it’s a far cry from the intense, prolonged disruption that Hurricane Katrina memorably caused.
There are a few reasons for that. U.S. oil markets have changed dramatically over the last 16 years. The U.S. is less reliant on crude production in the Gulf of Mexico than it used to be, thanks to the rise of shale oil produced in Texas and New Mexico. The U.S. also exports more refined fuel products out of the Gulf now and, in a pinch, can redirect those exports to meet domestic needs.
Joswick, with S&P Global Platts, also says that the lengthy outages after Katrina had an impact on companies. “The refiners learned their lesson,” he says. “They hardened their facilities. They raised critical equipment up off the ground so it wouldn’t flood, for example.”
However, he notes, if a second storm strikes the area while production is still recovering, the damage could be far worse.
Friday brought a new one, from President Donald Trump himself, while the judge in an ongoing lawsuit brought by Texas and other states to end the program ordered all sides on Thursday to file new paperwork next month.
“We will be submitting enhanced papers shortly in order to properly fulfill the Supreme Court’s ruling,” Trump tweeted.
That undoubtedly means the Department of Homeland Security will try again to shut the program down. The Supreme Court had said on Thursday the Trump administration’s earlier attempt to end the program failed to adequately address how it would affect DACA recipients and whether other options were available.
Chief Justice John Roberts, writing the majority opinion in the 5-4 ruling, left the door open for the government to try again, and the Trump tweet indicates the president considered that not simply an opportunity but an invitation. Trump called the court’s decision a “ruling & request,” although the court did not ask the government to do anything.
Any new attempt to end the program would immediately trigger lawsuits, and it’s likely that DACA supporters could persuade a federal judge to impose a nationwide injunction that would block the government’s move and keep the program going while the court battles play out. That’s how DACA was kept alive after the Trump administration first tried to shut it down in 2017.
Another potential threat to the program is a lawsuit filed two years ago by Texas and six other states claiming that President Barack Obama exceeded his authority when he launched DACA in 2012. U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Hanen of Brownsville has already said Obama went too far.
Hanen declined last fall to issue an injunction stopping enforcement of the program, concluding that the challengers waited too long to seek the order, but the lawsuit remains alive. On Thursday, he ordered all sides in the case to file papers by July 24 indicating where they believe the case now stands in light of the Supreme Court decision.
Thursday’s ruling may have given the states a boost, because one question in the Texas lawsuit is whether DACA is merely an exercise of discretion in deciding how to enforce the law. The Obama administration originally described it that way in launching the program, saying it was setting priorities for immigration agents by directing them to focus their energy on criminals and terrorists, not young people in college, the workforce or the military.
If that’s what DACA is, then it would be harder for the states to win in court, because the executive branch has broad authority to set its own enforcement priorities. But Roberts’ majority opinion said the program is different.
“DACA is not simply a nonenforcement policy,” he wrote, because the Obama administration set up a detailed system for evaluating each applicant’s qualifications and gave those in the program a renewable two-year relief from any concern that they would be targeted for deportation. “It created a program for conferring affirmative immigration relief.”
For that reason, Tom Goldstein, a Washington lawyer who argues frequently before the court and publishes SCOTUSblog, said the Texas case is a far bigger threat to the program than any renewed effort by the White House to shut it down.
“Ironically, Thursday’s Supreme Court decision sparing DACA also likely paved the way for its eventual doom,” he said.
He called Trump’s tweet a largely empty gesture.
“Even if the administration really did try again to shut it down, and I doubt it will, that process would take several months and could not be accomplished before the election,” Goldstein said. “People should not be thinking that Thursday’s ruling settled the issue. Ultimately, the fate of the Dreamers can only be decided by Congress.”
Another lawsuit, also on hold awaiting a Supreme Court ruling, is a challenge brought by the NAACP to the Trump administration’s effort to shut DACA down. Proceedings in that case will resume, and it might produce a ruling favorable to DACA’s defenders.
There’s no deadline for the White House to act in trying again to shut the program down, but Ken Cuccinelli, a senior Homeland Security official, said Thursday that the administration would act quickly. In response to Trump’s tweet Friday, he tweeted, “We’re on it.”

Just an hour before Zelensky’s announcement, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced Moscow’s illegal annexation of the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, which Russian forces have partially occupied. At the time of Putin’s speech, Zelensky was meeting with his National Security Council. “There will be no negotiations with Russia while Putin is the president,” Andriy Yermak, Zelensky’s chief of staff, said on Telegram. “We are moving forward. To victory.”
Fueron la punta de lanza de un aparato comunicacional que se presentaba como “defensa” del gobierno y funcionaba como bastonazo contra cualquier voz crítica. Producido por Pensado Para Televisión, la productora de Diego Gvirtz, El primer 678 vio la luz en marzo de 2009 con el nombre 6 en el 7 a las 8, bajo el concepto de seis integrantes en el canal 7 a las 20 horas.
De la primera versión del programa hasta la que se hizo más conocida, fueron varios los nombres que pasaron por la emisión icónica de la política comunicacional del kirchnerismo y su cruzada cultural contra lo que definían como la hegemonía de los medios monopólicos, a quienes dedicaron el 100% de sus esfuerzos en combinación con el ataque a la oposición política al kirchnerismo, viendo la realidad como un todo cuestionable.
La inmensa mayoría de los miembros más radicalizados, los que iniciaron la segunda temporada del ciclo en 2010, vivieron los años dorados de sus carreras y de exposición gracias a 678. Programas en Radio Nacional, premios universitarios y reconocimientos varios dentro del universo kirchnerista. Pero todo tiene un final, todo termina, y desde diciembre de 2015 han perdido la pantalla de la televisión pública y sus programas en Radio Nacional con una excepción. Desde entonces, todos mantuvieron algún sustento, entre los que volvieron a sus ocupaciones anteriores, hasta los que siguieron sus propios rumbos. Todos menos uno, que al día de hoy no consigue trabajo.
María Julia Oliván. La periodista fue la primera en conducir 678 y la primera en abandonar el ciclo apenas unos meses después, con un gobierno cada vez más radicalizado tras la derrota electoral de octubre de 2009. Con más de veinte años en el mundo periodístico (del universo Lanata a la notoriedad en Caos y en La Liga), Oliván se mantuvo activa primero en 360TV, y desde 2013 forma parte de Intratables por América TV, En el medio, formó parte de la renovación de Radio Nacional y lanzó su propio portal de periodismo, Border.
Carla Czudnowsky. Otra ex Caos en la Ciudad y La Liga formó parte del primer 678, del que se fue tras una licencia por maternidad menos de un año después. Continuó trabajando para PPT en Duro de Domar por Canal 9. Actualmente, reparte su tiempo entre Ponele la Firma, el programa conducido por Marcelo Polino en América TV, y el running.
Cabito. Eduardo Javier Massa Alcántara, más conocido como “Cabito”, formó parte del 678 original. Sus antecedentes periodísticos eran nulos. Antes, durante y después de 678 se desempeñó como parte estable de Basta de Todo, el programa de Metro 95.1 que integra junto a Matías Martin y a Gabriel Schultz. Este último también formó parte de las producciones de PPT como co-conductor de Televisión Registrada. Luego de dejar 678 a comienzos de 2013, Cabito continuó su rumbo televisivo en Duro de Domar por dos años. Desde entonces, ha realizado teatro y al día de hoy continúa en Basta de Todo.
Luciano Galende. Luego de trabajar como productor de radio de Jorge Lanata, columnista de Jorge Guinzburg en Canal 13 y trabajó en la Rock and Pop con Elizabeth Vernaci. Comenzó en 678 como panelista para luego saltar al lugar de conductor tras la partida de María Julia Oliván. Largó la conducción de 678 y se refugió en Radio Nacional, donde condujo su propio ciclo hasta el final de la gestión kirchnerista en diciembre de 2015. Desde entonces, ha dado charlas sobre “Periodismo en tiempos de neoliberalismo”.
Carlos Barragán. Una de las figuras más recordadas del ciclo, formó parte de 678 de principio a fin. Surgido de la radio, donde estuvo años al lado de Lalo Mir y de Elizabeth Vernaci, llegó a conducir 678 tras la salida de Luciano Galende. En 2012 sumó a sus actividades un programa llamado Todos en Cuero, por Radio Nacional, el cual finalizó en diciembre de 2015. En noviembre de 2016 regresó con su ciclo rebautizado Todos en Cuero en Panamá, por Radio del Plata. De alto perfil en redes sociales, sus publicaciones en Facebook continúan su retórica antimacrista y lo han mantenido presente en el boca en boca kirchnerista con publicaciones como “Los 20 mandamientos” para resistir a la gestión de Mauricio Macri. Explota su veta humorística realizando shows “a la gorra”. También demandó al Estado por el final de su contrato en Radio Nacional.
Mariana Moyano. Con una larga trayectoria universitaria previa al kirchnerismo, Moyano cobró notoriedad al haber redactado el informe que disparó el debate por la ley de medios, una de las grandes batallas librada por el kirchnerismo. Se sumó a 678 en 2012, destacándose por sus críticas a los medios de comunicación. Actualmente, continúa con el ejercicio de la docencia en la Universidad de Buenos Aires y despunta el vicio del periodismo en su blog y en las redes sociales, no sin alguna que otra polémica, como cuando defendió a Christian Aldana, el cantante de El Otro Yo, denunciado por abuso sexual contra menores de edad, a quien comparó con San Martín por su relación con Remedios de Escalada (quien era menor de edad cuando se casó con el Libertador).
Edgardo Mocca. Licienciado en Ciencias Políticas, Mocca contaba con antecedentes en la gráfica como columnista habitué de Clarín entre 2003 y 2007. Se sumó 678 en 2012 y permaneció como panelista hasta el final del ciclo. Actualmente, continúa con su actividad académica además de escribir columnas para Página/12 y medios gráficos del exterior.
Jorge Dorio. Con una extensa carrera que se inició en 1984 junto a Martín Caparrós en Sueño de una Noche de Belgrano, y que continuó con Alejandro Dolina en La Venganza será Terrible, Dorio ha tenido diversas versiones que lo incluyen en la TV tanto con Juan Alberto Badía como panelista de análisis de Gran Hermano. Se sumó a 678 en 2013 como panelista y ha conducido el ciclo en numerosas ocasiones. Sobrevivió a la grieta y tiene un programa –El Eslabón Perdido– en las madrugadas de los lunes de Radio Nacional.
Sandra Russo. Dueña de una extensa carrera que la tuvo en varios íconos del siglo XX como la revista Humor Registrado, el programa Cable a Tierra de Pepe Eliaschev, o Página/12 desde su fundación en 1987, Russo estuvo en 678 de principio a fin con una breve interrupción en 2010. En la actualidad, continúa con su columna habitual en Página/12, además de publicar su nuevo libro “Lo femenino” y de brindar cursos de narrativa breve de manera particular.
Nora Veiras. Con una carrera previa vinculada a Página/12, durante la década kirchnerista, y al igual que casi todos sus compañeros, Veiras tuvo su programa en Radio Nacional. Formó parte de 678 desde 2010. Hoy conserva su espacio en Página/12.
Dante Palma. Filósofo con un doctorado en Ciencias Políticas, Palma daba clases regularmente en la Universidad de Buenos Aires y en la de San Martín cuando comenzó a publicar sus columnas en Revista 23 en 2010. Desde 2012 se sumó a 678 hasta el final del ciclo. Durante 2016 fue denunciado por violencia de género por su exnovia y no pudo retomar sus clases en la universidad tras una movilización del centro de estudiantes. Al igual que varios de sus excolegas, hoy tiene su programa en Radio del Plata (No estoy solo), publicó un nuevo libro (El gobierno de los cínicos) y escribe regularmente en su blog.
Orlando Barone. Ícono de 678 a fuerza de sus poemas escatológicos y sus peleas con figuras del mundo intelectual, Barone contaba con una extensa trayectoria en medios gráficos Clarín, El Cronista, Ámbito Financiero y Noticias. Luego de renunciar a su columna en La Nación, Barone se sumó a 678 desde su inicio y permaneció firme hasta el final del ciclo. Quizás el más golpeado por el fin del ciclo, Barone demandó al Estado por la ruptura de su contrato en Radio Nacional, y también cargó contra RTA (Radio y Televisión Argentina) porque no consigue trabajo a sus casi 80 años.
Cynthia García. Con una trayectoria previa en diario Perfil, Crítica y Canal 13, García se sumó a 678 a principios de 2012 y se quedó hasta que terminó el programa en 2015. En la actualidad encabeza su propio portal de noticias (La García), además de formar parte del programa de Víctor Hugo Morales en la mañana de AM 750.
Media captionA crowd gathered outside Amir Kabir university, calling for resignations and accusing officials of lying
Hundreds of protesters have taken to the streets in Iran’s capital, Tehran, to vent anger at officials, calling them liars for having denied shooting down a Ukrainian passenger plane.
Protests took place outside at least two universities, with tear gas reportedly fired.
US President Donald Trump tweeted support for the “inspiring” protests.
Iran on Saturday admitted downing the jet “unintentionally”, three days after the crash that killed 176 people.
Ukraine International Airlines flight PS752, en route to Kyiv, was shot down on Wednesday near Imam Khomeini Airport in Tehran shortly after take-off, and only hours after Iran had fired missiles at two air bases housing US forces in Iraq.
Those attacks were Iran’s response to the US killing of senior Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani in a drone strike in Baghdad on 3 January.
Dozens of Iranians and Canadians, as well as nationals from Ukraine, the UK, Afghanistan and Sweden died on the plane.
What happened at the protests?
Students gathered outside at least two universities, Sharif and Amir Kabir, reports said, initially to pay respect to the victims. Protests turned angry in the evening.
The semi-official Fars news agency carried a rare report of the unrest, saying up to 1,000 people had chanted slogans against leaders and tore up pictures of Soleimani.

Students had gathered outside Amir Kabir university to pay tribute to the victims
The students called for those responsible for the downing the plane, and those they said had covered up the action, to be prosecuted.
Chants included “commander-in-chief resign”, referring to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and “death to liars”.
Fars said police had “dispersed” the protesters, who were blocking roads. Social media footage appeared to show tear gas being fired.
Social media users also vented anger at the government’s actions.
One wrote on Twitter: “I will never forgive the authorities in my country, the people who were on the scene and lying.”
The protests were, however, far smaller than the mass demonstrations across Iran in support of Soleimani after he was killed.
What has been the reaction?
President Trump tweeted in both English and Farsi, saying: “To the brave and suffering Iranian people: I have stood with you since the beginning of my presidency and my government will continue to stand with you.
“We are following your protests closely. Your courage is inspiring.”
The government of Iran must allow human rights groups to monitor and report facts from the ground on the ongoing protests by the Iranian people. There can not be another massacre of peaceful protesters, nor an internet shutdown. The world is watching.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted video of the protests in Iran, saying: “The voice of the Iranian people is clear. They are fed up with the regime’s lies, corruption, ineptitude, and brutality of the IRGC [Revolutionary Guards] under Khamenei’s kleptocracy. We stand with the Iranian people who deserve a better future.”
Media captionUkraine’s Oleksiy Danilov: “We already had enough to show…what really happened here”
Mr Macaire was detained at the demonstration outside Amir Kabir and was later released.
Mr Raab said Iran could “continue its march towards pariah status… or take steps to de-escalate tensions and engage in a diplomatic path forwards”.
How did the Iranian admission unfold?
For three days, Iran had denied reports its missiles had brought down the plane, with one spokesman accusing Western nations of “lying and engaging in psychological warfare”.
But on Saturday morning, a statement read on state TV accepted the plane had been shot down.
Brig-Gen Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the Revolutionary Guards’ aerospace commander, explained what happened.
He said a missile operator had acted independently and alone, mistaking the plane for a “cruise missile” as there had been reports that such missiles had been fired at Iran.
Media captionFootage shows missile strike on Ukrainian plane in Iran
“He had 10 seconds to decide. He could have decided to strike or not to strike and under such circumstances he took the wrong decision,” Gen Hajizadeh said.
“He was obliged to make contact and get verification. But apparently, his communications system had some disruptions.”
Gen Hajizadeh said the military would upgrade its systems to prevent such “mistakes” in the future.
He said he had “wished he was dead” after being told of the missile strike.
Gen Hajizadeh said he had informed the authorities about what had happened on Wednesday, raising questions about why Iran had denied involvement for so long.
Ayatollah Khamenei said there was “proof of human error”, while President Hassan Rouhani said Iran “deeply regrets this disastrous mistake”.
Foreign Minister Javad Zarif laid part of the blame on the US. “Human error at a time of crisis caused by US adventurism led to [this] disaster,” he said.
How have Canada and Ukraine reacted?
Both Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke with Mr Rouhani on Saturday.
Mr Trudeau said he was “outraged and furious” and had told Mr Rouhani that there must be a full investigation with “full clarity on how such a horrific tragedy could have occurred”.
Media captionTrudeau: “We need full clarity on how such a horrific tragedy could have occurred”
Mr Trudeau said: “Canada will not rest until we get the accountability, justice and closure the families deserve… they are hurt, angry and grieving and they want answers.”
Mr Zelensky, who has demanded compensation and an apology, said Mr Rouhani had assured him that “all persons involved in this air disaster will be brought to justice”.

In the Canadian city of Edmonton, Pegah Salari is helping to organise a memorial service for the victims from the city on Sunday.
She says the latest admission by Iran means “now it’s more than grief”, first felt in the Iranian-Canadian community there.
“It’s anger, frustration,” she said.
Many on the plane were living there, including 10 people – faculty members, students, and alumni – from the University of Alberta.
Ms Salari is openly critical and distrustful of the Iranian government and is watching news of the protests in Iran with both trepidation and hope.
There are some in the Iranian diaspora in Canada who support the government in Tehran, which can cause tension, she said.
For the moment, that has been set aside, Ms Salari says.
“It’s not a political matter, it has nothing to do with economics. This for the first time is a human tragedy and all those lost lives has brought people closer and opened some eyes.”

Damage to homes burned by wildfires after they ripped through a development are shown Friday in Superior, Colo.

Urban wildfires north of Denver that spread in what Gov. Jared Polis called “the blink of an eye” and destroyed at least 500 homes are largely contained.
That’s according to local and state officials who spoke at a Friday morning briefing.
There are no reports of fatalities from the wind-whipped blazes that burned an estimated 6,000 acres in Boulder County.
“There are still areas burning inside the fire zone, around homes and shrubbery,” said Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle, “but we’re not expecting to see any growth in the fire.”
Pelle said the snowfall that’s begun in the area “will certainly help our efforts.”
Polis flew over the affected areas Friday morning and described what he called fires that “hit close to home for so many of us.”
“This wasn’t a wildfire in the forest,” he said. “It was a suburban and urban fire that was a disaster in fast motion [happening] in course of half a day.”
Colorado Rep. Joe Neguse also toured the devastated area on Friday.
Many residents “lost everything, all their belongings, their home and had [no] more than a moment’s notice essentially to flee their homes, some with only the clothes on their back because of the way that these flames metastasized because of hurricane winds that our community was experiencing yesterday,” Neguse told NPR. “So just unprecedented devastation, and it’s going to be a long road to recovery for our community.”
Drought, high winds fed the fires
The speed and intensity of the blazes was caused by a mix of dry conditions due to months of drought and winds gusting to over 100 mph.
“Many families [had] minutes to get whatever they could, their pets, their kids into the car and leave,” Polis said. “The last 24 hours have been devastating, [but] we might have our very own New Year’s miracle on our hands if it holds up that there was no loss of life.”
Pelle said “it’s all a good guess right now” as to how many homes were destroyed.
“I would estimate it’s going to be at least 500 homes,” he said. “I would not be surprised if it’s a thousand.”
Tens of thousands of people were evacuated. Polis said temporary emergency shelters are housing “about 200 people,” while many others sought refuge with friends or in other areas.
Pelle said he knows that residents want to return to their homes “as soon as possible to assess damage.” But, he said, in many of those neighborhoods that are currently blocked off, it’s still too dangerous to return.
“We saw still active fire in many places this morning, we saw downed powerlines. We saw a lot of risk that we’re still trying to mitigate,” he said.
As far as how the fires started, Pelle said, “we do know we had power lines down in the area of the origin of the fire. The origin of the fire hasn’t been confirmed. It’s suspected to be power lines, but we are investigating that today.”
“We’re investigating anything we find out there,” he said.
After being captured by Mexican forces, the Sinaloa cartel managed to wrest El Chappo’s son free from government control with a stunning show of force complete with machine guns and rocket launchers.
The events unfolded in the city of Culiacán on Thursday after troops captured the son of jailed drug lord Joaquín Guzmán Loera, known as El Chapo. His son, Ovidio Guzmán Lopez, is one of many of the notorious kingpin’s children who live in the area. Another one of El Chapo’s sons called up cartel members to begin a siege on Culiacán, according to the New York Times.
Trucks with large mounted machine guns were spotted, as were videos showing rocket launchers and rocket-powered grenades. Many civilians in the city were able to capture the staccato of gunfire during the prolonged battle, which ended in the deaths of at least seven and injured more than a dozen.
The Mexican forces who arrested the younger Guzmán released him after eight of their members were taken hostage. Part of the effort by the cartel to get Guzmán released reportedly included not only taking armed forces hostage, but also kidnapping their families.
Given that they were surrounded, the violence was continuing to rise, and there were hostages, the government surrendered and let Guzmán go.
“Decisions were made that I support, that I endorse because the situation turned very bad and lots of citizens were at risk, lots of people and it was decided to protect the life of the people,” said President Andrés Manuel López Obrador on Friday. “You cannot value the life of a delinquent more than the lives of the people.”
Raúl Benítez, a security expert at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, said that this another example of extreme violence displayed by the cartels this year. He criticized the president for his decision to pull back and surrender to the cartel.
“The government was forced to accept the cartel’s control over the city and not confront them,” Benítez said. “To the people of Culiacán, the president is sending a very tough message: The cartel is in charge here.”
Videos captured the violence unfolding and were posted on social media.
Universidad de Chile no vive sus mejores días, considerando que en el torneo de Apertura se ubican en la duodécima ubicación con sólo 11 unidades, y que en Copa Chile tienen una compleja situación tras caer 2-0 ante Universidad Católica en la ida de Cuartos de Final.
Pero las malas noticias para los azules no paran allí, porque para el duelo de vuelta ante los de San Carlos de Apoquindo, el equipo que dirige Víctor Hugo Castañeda no podrá contar con quien es probablemente su principal figura.
Se trata de Johnny Herrera, quien ya se había perdido el primer duelo del pasado miércoles, pero ya quedó descartado para el cotejo de lunes, indica El Mercurio.
El golero aún mantiene molestias en su rodilla, situación que no lo dejó jugar de forma correcta en las últimas jornadas, por lo que se confirmó en el arco a Fernando de Paul.
Recordar que el cotejo de vuelta entre la U y la UC será el próximo lunes a contar de las 20:30 horas.
La complicada trama en que se tornó el caso por la muerte del fiscal Alberto Nisman, se suman curiosos hechos que son interpretados por variadas versiones. Uno de los últimos hitos en la causa que investiga el fallecimiento del funcionario judicial fue el hallazgo de una marca que simulaba un disparo de bala sobre una foto de Nisman en la revista NOTICIAS recibida en el domicilio de su exesposa, la jueza Sandra Arroyo Salgado. ¿Qué interpretó Página/12 sobre esto?
En su última edición impresa, el diario oficialista publicó un artículo llamado “Una extraña denuncia por amenazas” en el que refiere las distintas versiones que -el matutino entiende- se podrían interpretar sobre la denuncia de la expareja de Nisman.
“Hay dos versiones sobre la supuesta amenaza. La que aparentemente figura en la presentación –que se agregó a una causa ya existente– indica que la actual pareja de Arroyo Salgado retiró un ejemplar de la revista Noticias de un quiosco de San Isidro y que en el interior, en la nota referida a Nisman, había un redondel negro en la foto del fiscal como si fuera un disparo en la frente”, refirió en primer lugar Página/12.
Luego añadió una segunda interpretación de los hechos: “Otra versión señala que esa marca en la frente estaba en un ejemplar que se distribuyó desde el quiosco al domicilio de Arroyo Salgado y que quedó dentro de un diario”.
En cualquier caso, infiere el periódico, “la amenaza es de por sí extraña porque Arroyo Salgado no estaba en la Argentina y la idea era que seguiría en Europa por otra semana más, hasta el 23 de enero. O sea que el que amenazó parece que no sabía que la jueza estaba ausente. Y anoche todavía se verificaba si la marca podía provenir, no de una amenaza, sino de una mancha de la imprenta”.
Y, por último, lanzan una “versión asombrosa”, tal como fue denominada en la nota. En ella, relacionan al juez Luis Rodríguez, a quien vinculan con la SIDE, con una maniobra para quedarse con la causa: “En corrillos judiciales se deslizaba anoche una versión asombrosa: que la movida podía derivar en que el juez Rodríguez intentara quedarse con la causa principal, la de la muerte de Nisman, argumentando que tiene relación con una amenaza que recibió en 2012, otra de 2013 y la de la revista Noticias”.
“Rodríguez tiene un antecedente llamativo. El caso fue largamente explicado por Horacio Verbitsky en una nota publicada en este diario (por Página/12) en junio de 2013. Estaba referida a una causa vinculada con irregularidades en el saneamiento del Riachuelo. El juez Juan Ramos Padilla ordenó escuchas que comprometían al subdirector de Asuntos Jurídicos de la Policía Federal, Marcelo Pecorelli. En las escuchas, el uniformado se manifestaba preocupado por la investigación de Ramos Padilla y se lo comentaba, en intimidad, al fiscal general Ricardo Sáenz, actual jefe de Fein. Este le decía que se quedara tranquilo, que la causa la iba a pedir Luis Rodríguez”, explicó.
Y consignó: “Eso fue lo que ocurrió: Rodríguez le pidió a Ramos Padilla que se inhibiera y le mandara el expediente y efectivamente se quedó con la causa en agosto de 2013. Las cosas después quedaron en la nada: todos fueron sobreseídos, con confirmación de Cámara. Ya en ese momento, Verbitsky vinculó a Rodríguez con Nisman y con los sectores que se mueven con financiamiento de la Secretaría de Inteligencia y que “aspiran a imponerle condiciones a la presidenta CFK”.

En las noticias más leídas del día, el IFT ordenó a América Móvil crear una nueva empresa que administre los postes, ductos, cables de cobre y de fibra de Telmex y Telnor para generar más competencia. Durante febrero los precios al consumidor registraron un crecimiento de 0.58%, así como una tasa de inflación anual de 4.86%, en el mismo periodo del 2016 presentaron un incremento de 0.44% mensual y de 2.87% anual.
1. ¿Podrá Slim sacarle provecho a la nueva regulación de Telmex?
Debido a las nuevas disposiciones del IFT, América Móvil deberá configurar una nueva empresa que administre la infraestructura de Telmex y Telnor para ponerla a disposición de esas mismas compañías y del resto de los competidores del mercado en igualdad de condiciones en el mediano plazo.
El objetivo de esto es generar un mayor equilibrio en la industria de las telecomunicaciones para que haya más competencia y deriva de los resultados que arrojó una revisión al funcionamiento de diez políticas regulatorias que pesan sobre la operación diaria de América Móvil y de sus filiales Telmex-Telcel desde el 7 de marzo del 2014.

2. “Vamos a generar valor para el Estado mexicano”
Competir como una empresa rentable en un nuevo mercado nacional, no como actor dominante, sino como un jugador más que incluso trabajará con sus rivales para generar valor, es el mayor reto de su historia al que se ha tenido que enfrentar la Comisión Federal de Electricidad, dijo a El Economista Jaime Hernández Martínez, director general de la estatal eléctrica.
Tras haber pasado de una tasa de 38 a 98.5% de electrificación nacional en 80 años, ahora viene el reto de volver a la empresa competitiva y generar valor al Estado mexicano en un entorno de creciente y vigorosa participación privada.
A principios de año, concluyó la división legal y funcional en 12 subsidiarias y filiales cuyos consejos de administración cuentan con un consejero independiente, han sesionado hasta tres veces en menos de un año y participan en los distintos mercados existentes, además de que cuentan con contratos bilaterales con terceros desde su conformación.

3. En febrero la inflación subió hasta 4.86%: INEGI
En el mes de febrero, el Índice Nacional de Precios al Consumidor registró un crecimiento de 0.58%, así como una tasa de inflación anual de 4.86%, a diferencia de febrero del año pasado que presentó incremento de 0.44% mensual y de 2.87% anual, dio a conocer el Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía.
La inflación rebasó desde el mes de enero la cota alta del objetivo del Banxico, que elevó la tasa de referencia a su mayor nivel en ocho años para combatir presiones derivadas del incremento a los precios de las gasolinas y luego de una abrupta caída de la moneda tras la victoria electoral de Donald Trump.

4. WikiLeaks revela burlas de la CIA hacia los antivirus
Esta vez WikiLeaks volvió a hacer de las suyas, está ocasión su blanco fue la CIA. Fueron filtrados documentos al parecer robados de la CIA que contienen comentarios burlones contra algunos de los programas antivirus más populares, lo que sugiere que la agencia estadounidense está al tanto de las debilidades de tales escudos cibernéticos.
El contenido publicado por WikiLeaks no es lo suficientemente sistemático para usarlo como referencia de cuál programa es más eficaz que otro, y la fecha incierta que tiene ese contenido indica que no es más que un vistazo momentáneo.

In a statement on Saturday, the government called for calm and said it had “learned its lesson and will humbly listen to and accept criticism”.
At the end of the march, the government said it was looking forward to finding “a way out for Hong Kong’s deep problems through dialogue”.
Monday will mark six months since a mass rally on 9 June that triggered the political crisis that has gripped the semi-autonomous Chinese territory.

Organisers said an estimated 800,000 people took part in the anti-government protest
Organisers of the rally, the Civil Human Rights Front, said this is the government’s last chance to meet their demands, which include an independent inquiry into the police’s handling of the protests, an amnesty for those arrested, and free elections.
Clashes have become increasingly violent in recent months, raising the question of how the unrest can be stopped.
Around 6,000 people have been arrested and hundreds injured, including police, since June.

The protest was organised by Civil Human Rights Front, a pro-democracy group
Yet, Sunday’s march was largely peaceful, with few reports of violence despite tensions running high at times.
As the march neared its end, protesters held their mobile phone torches aloft, illuminating the streets as they chanted anti-government songs.
Meanwhile, the High Court and the Court of Final Appeal were vandalised and attacked with suspected petrol bombs, police said.
The attacks on the courts were widely condemned by march organisers, police and the government, which it said “undermined Hong Kong’s reputation as a city governed by the rule of law”.
Earlier, police said a Glock semi-automatic pistol and 105 bullets were discovered during raids along with a haul of knives and firecrackers. It was said to be the first time that a handgun was found since the protests began.
The city has been relatively calm since pro-democracy candidates won a landslide victory in local council elections two weeks ago.

But discontent with Hong Kong’s Chief Executive, Carrie Lam, has not disappeared, with many protesters demanding more concessions from her government.
“No matter how we express our views, through peacefully marching, through civilised elections, the government won’t listen,” one 50-year-old protester, named only as Wong, told AFP news agency.
What are the protests about?
Hong Kong’s protests started in June against plans to allow extradition to mainland China.
Critics feared this could undermine judicial independence and endanger dissidents.

The bill was withdrawn in September but protests continued.
Until 1997, Hong Kong was ruled by Britain as a colony but then returned to China. Under the “one country, two systems” arrangement, it has some autonomy, and its people have more rights.

Reino Unido acaba de sumarse a los bombardeos al grupo autodenominado Estado Islámico (EI) en Siria.
El Parlamento britanico dio la autorización el miércoles por la noche y el Ministerio Defensa ya confirmó las primeras incursiones aéreas de las fuerzas británicas contra posiciones de EI.
Con ello, Londres se unió a las operaciones desde el aire de la coalición de más de 30 países liderada por Estados Unidos.
¿Pero qué países están bombardeando posiciones de EI en Siria?
Ataques en Siria
La coalición liderada por EE.UU. ha lanzado más de 2.700 ataques aéreos en Siria desde septiembre del año pasado.
De los ataques realizados por la coalición, la mayor parte corresponden a las fuerzas estadounidenses, tal como muestra el gráfico.
El 90% de las incursiones de noviembre las realizó EE.UU. y el 10% las hicieron entre Australia, Canadá, Francia y Turquía.
Así lo registra Airwars.org, un proyecto colaborativo y sin ánimo de lucro que monitorea la guerra contra EI.
Y el porcentaje es similar también en el resto de meses.
Rusia no es parte de la coalición, pero también está bombardeando a los yihadistas.
Moscú inició su campaña en septiembre de este año, como respuesta a una petición de ayuda del presidente sirio Bashar al Asad, atrincherado en el poder a pesar de más de cuatro años de guerra civil.
Además les está lanzando misiles desde el mar Caspio.
El presidente ruso Vladimir Putin insiste que el objetivo de los ataques en EI, y el Ministerio de Defensa asegura que alcanzó posiciones del grupo en Homs, Hama, Lattakia e Idlib.
La coalición liderada por EE.UU. ha lanzado más de 5.400 ataques desde el aire contra posiciones de los yihadistas en territorio iraquí desde el 8 de agosto del año pasado.
Como en Siria, la mayor proporción de incursiones corresponden a las fuerzas estadounidenses.
Pero también han llevado a cabo bombardeos Reino Unido, Holanda, Francia, Canadá, Australia y Dinamarca.
Los yihadistas tienen su califato, una forma de Estado dirigido por un líder político y religioso de acuerdo con la ley islámica o sharia, entre Alepo, en Siria, y la provincia de Diyala en Irak.
Por lo tanto, EI controla amplias franjas de terreno allí, aunque un informe del Pentágono asegura que EE.UU. y los aliados han logrado arrebatarle entre un 25 y un 30% del territorio que tenía en el punto álgido de su expansión, en agosto de 2014.
