En las noticias más leídas del primer día de junio, el servicio de transporte, Uber, reportó la mañana de este jueves pérdidas multimillonarias en el primer trimestre del año a pesar de que sus ingresos están aumentando. Recibió ingresos por 3,400 millones de dólares en el periodo. Para poder viajar a Estados Unidos, ahora será necesario enseñar tus distintas redes sociales a las autoridades. En la nueva película Wonder Woman, nuestra heroína titular deja Themyscira, su isla de mujeres empoderadas, para llegar a la sociedad acorsetada de Londres en la Primera Guerra Mundial.
La empresa de servicio de transporte Uber reportó este jueves pérdidas multimillonarias en los primeros tres meses del año a pesar de que sus ingresos están aumentando.
La empresa con sede en San Francisco avisó que sus pérdidas se redujeron a 708 millones de dólares, comparado con 991 millones en el período anterior.
Uber informó a The Associated Press que había recibido ingresos por 3,400 millones de dólares en ese período, un aumento de 18% con respecto a los primeros tres meses del año pasado.
Durante el primer cuatrimestre del año, el gobierno federal pagó 128,479 millones de pesos en los intereses que genera por endeudarse, lo que significó 37.4% más de lo que desembolsó en el mismo periodo del 2016. Este monto es el más alto que se haya registrado desde 1990, año desde donde se tiene registro y considerando sólo los primeros cuatro meses de cada año, de acuerdo con información de la Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público (SHCP).
Lo anterior se debe, en gran medida, a los intereses que se generaron por la deuda externa, la cual se vio impactada por la volatilidad que se presentó en el tipo de cambio a inicios del año, expusieron expertos.
El Gobierno de Donald Trump actualizó el cuestionario para las personas de todo el mundo que soliciten una visa para entrar a Estados Unidos, e incluyó preguntas sobre perfiles en redes sociales durante los últimos cinco años e información biográfica que se remonta a unos 15 años.
Las nuevas preguntas, parte de un esfuerzo por endurecer la revisión de antecedentes de quienes quieran visitar Estados Unidos, fueron aprobadas el 23 de mayo por la Oficina de Administración y Presupuesto pese a las críticas de varios sectores.
Un cartón de Nerilicón.
En la nueva película de La Mujer Maravilla, nuestra heroína titular deja Themyscira, su isla de mujeres empoderadas, para llegar a la sociedad acorsetada de Londres en la Primera Guerra Mundial. Mientras sus acompañantes tratan de convencer a la guerrera de la tribu amazónica para que cambie su falda de cuero por el confuso bullicio de un mundo occidental dominado por hombres, Diana Prince tiene una pregunta natural: ¿cómo peleas con este atuendo?
La escena refleja el reto de la directora Patty Jenkins: en una industria siempre plagada de sexismo, se preguntó, ¿cómo puedo tener éxito como la primera mujer en dirigir una película de superhéroes de gran presupuesto?

“The desire of the overwhelming majority of the Democratic caucus is to try to get to yes,” said Rep. Hakeem Jeffries. | J. Scott Applewhite/AP Photo
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic leaders are increasingly optimistic they can get to a yes on the new North American trade pact after their latest sit-down with President Donald Trump’s trade chief.
Pelosi and House Democratic leaders reiterated that they want to support the new U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, but first need the administration to address a host of issues, including enforcement of the deal’s labor provisions.
Story Continued Below
While they have been repeatedly stressing their worries about the new pact for months, lawmakers said they now feel that U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer is making a concerted effort to address their concerns.
“The desire of the overwhelming majority of the Democratic caucus is to try to get to yes,” Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, told POLITICO.
“He understood the concerns … and that absent [a] resolution, it would be very difficult to get to yes on the agreement,” Jeffries added.
The White House has increased pressure on Congress to pass the deal before August recess. The president faces limited potential legislative victories in the coming months, and key constituents like farmers are getting hurt on other trade fights. Pelosi, for her part, has made clear she will not rush to put the deal to a vote until the necessary changes are made to get Democrats on board with the deal, and that could take a while.
Meanwhile, Trump is on the verge of appeasing concerned Republicans with a deal that would lift steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada and Mexico.
Democrats have demanded the Trump administration reopen the text of the deal to write in stronger language to enforce the deal’s labor and environment standards. They’ve also expressed the need to take out language they say would lock in high prescription drug prices. But administration officials have repeatedly shut down the idea of reopening the deal. Canada and Mexico have also vocally opposed revisiting the text.
Last week, Lighthizer told members of the House Progressive Caucus that their concerns could largely be addressed without changing language in the text, but it remains unclear if he could do that in a way that pleases Pelosi.
House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal (D-Mass.) said lawmakers “made a series of suggestions” in the 45-minute meeting on how to address the prevailing Democratic concerns. And Lighthizer is being more clear he wants to find solutions that please Democrats, aides said.
The meeting felt much more productive than previous meetings with Lighthizer, as the U.S. trade chief appeared to be engaging much more closely with lawmakers about how to address their concerns, Democratic aides in the room said.
However, Neal and other Democrats were quick to caution that the Trump administration still has not taken any actions or made any specific changes to address their concerns.
“We also think that there’s a ways to go,” Neal told reporters.
A Pelosi aide told POLITICO that Democrats will be planning more discussions with Lighthizer on “key questions about the USMCA proposal.”
Lighthizer did not “speak one way or the other about the mechanics of reopening the text,” Jeffries said, adding that a timeline for passage was not discussed.
It also remains an open question whether Lighthizer will be able to deliver on a deal that satisfies Democrats within the Trump administration’s target window. The final text of the agreement and implementing legislation still has not been submitted to Congress. The U.S. trade chief has previously told lawmakers that he would not send up the agreement until he has Pelosi’s blessing.
“We’re on a path,” said House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.). “We’re not on the end of the road.”

Richard Strauss was employed as a doctor at Ohio State University from 1978 until he retired in 1998.
AP
For nearly two decades, a doctor at The Ohio State University sexually abused at least 177 male students, according to an exhaustive independent investigation commissioned by the university. Most of the doctor’s abuse happened under the auspices of providing the students with medical treatment.
Richard Strauss worked at OSU from September 1978 through March 1998, primarily as a doctor with the Athletic Department and the Student Health Center. The investigation found that university personnel became aware of Strauss’ abuse as early as 1979.
However, “despite the persistence, seriousness, and regularity of such complaints, no meaningful action was taken by the University to investigate such concerns until January 1996,” when they were first elevated to officials beyond Student Health or the Athletics Department, the report reads.
As a result, Strauss was suspended from working as a treating physician at OSU. The school eventually removed him from his departments, but it kept him on as a tenured faculty member. He voluntarily retired in 1998 with “emeritus” status from the university. Strauss took his own life in 2005.
“The findings are shocking and painful to comprehend,” current OSU President Michael Drake said in a message emailed to the OSU community.
“On behalf of the university, we offer our profound regret and sincere apologies to each person who endured Strauss’ abuse,” said Drake, who became the school’s president in 2014. “Our institution’s fundamental failure at the time to prevent this abuse was unacceptable — as were the inadequate efforts to thoroughly investigate complaints raised by students and staff members.”
Drake added that the university has started the process of revoking Strauss’ emeritus status and “will take additional action as appropriate.”
“Dreams were broken, relationships with loved ones were damaged, and the harm now carries over to our children as many of us have become so overprotective that it strains the relationship with our kids,” Kent Kilgore, a survivor of Strauss’ abuse, said in a statement to The Associated Press.
OSU said it launched the independent investigation last April, after a former student came forward with allegations of abuse and “indicated … that there may have been others who experienced sexual misconduct by Strauss.”
The investigation carried out by the law firm Perkins Coie was led by a former federal prosecutor and a former federal government ethics attorney. Both had experience in investigations involving male sexual abuse survivors.
They interviewed 520 people, among them the 177 men who said they had been abused by Strauss.
The report, which runs more than 230 pages, contains a litany of painful stories of abuse from former students who went to Strauss for medical care.
The instances of abuse often involved inappropriate touching of a students’ genitals during exams in ways that weren’t medically useful. A number of students said Strauss “would routinely touch their genitals at every visit, regardless of the medical ailment presented, including for a sore throat,” the report states.
The report also states that members of 15 university athletic teams were abused. Strauss most frequently targeted wrestlers — 48 of them, according to the report. And the abuse often became more explicit over multiple visits.
“We observed that, in many cases, a student’s most egregious experience of abuse did not occur during the student’s first encounter with Strauss; rather, the abuse escalated over time, in a series of examinations with the student,” the report states.
Other students reported that Strauss would frequently shower with teams, appearing to loiter and gawp at students as they were naked in locker rooms and making them uncomfortable.
A former soccer player told investigators that Strauss would sometimes run a single lap just as the team was finishing up practice. “The student noted that it was a commonly-held perception among the players that Strauss was exercising as a pretext to shower with the team, and the student-athletes would try to shower as quickly as possible,” the report reads.
Dozens of people who worked as coaches or athletic trainers told investigators that they had been aware of rumors and complaints against Strauss. The abuse was so widely known that it left some students with the idea that it was simply accepted by other university personnel.
“Many of the students felt that Strauss’ behavior was an ‘open secret,’ as it appeared to them that their coaches, trainers, and other team physicians were fully aware of Strauss’ activities, and yet few seemed inclined to do anything to stop it,” the report states. Students, it adds, said they had the impression the abuse was a form of hazing or a rite of passage.
The university took disciplinary action against Strauss only after a series of student complaints in the mid-1990s. Even after that, he opened an off-campus private men’s health clinic near the university — where he continued to abuse patients — and kept his title as a tenured faculty professor.
As Gabe Rosenberg and Adora Namigadde of member station WOSU reported:
“At least 50 students have filed lawsuits against Ohio State, arguing the university knew about and declined to act in response to complaints about Strauss. Their case is headed to mediation.
” ‘It’s what we’ve been saying—they’ve failed to act—investigate or act, and now we have validation,’ said Brian Garrett, one of the lead plaintiffs, in an interview Friday.
“The university has referred the report to Columbus Police, the Franklin County Prosecutor’s Office, and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.”
The investigators and the university’s president thanked the survivors for coming forward to share their stories.
“This independent investigation was completed because of the strength and courage of survivors,” Drake said.

As House Democrats vote Tuesday to stop President Trump’s emergency declaration on the southern border, congressional Republicans should ask themselves: Why is it that every other president is permitted by courts to exercise “executive discretion,” and yet Trump isn’t?
A New York Times report on Monday set up the scene for weak-willed Senate Republicans, writing that, “The [Democrat-controlled] House’s vote on a declaration of disapproval will force Republicans to choose between the congressional prerogative over federal spending established in the Constitution and a president determined to go around the legislative branch to secure funds for a border wall that Congress has refused to grant.”
This is, on its face, a false choice, though some in the GOP are stupidly buying into it.
Trump’s emergency declaration earlier this month does nothing more than free up little bits of money already allocated to the executive branch so that he can build more wall barriers on the border, stunting the overwhelming flood of illegal immigration from Latin America.
It’s every bit of a crisis today as it was when former President Barack Obama called it that in 2014, and the media happily played along. Trump’s official declaration only means he’s using his last option to address the issue.
This isn’t an choice between fidelity to the Constitution or blind loyalty to a president; though I’ll note the executive branch is part of that newly appreciated document, and Congress has already given the president the authority to do exactly what Trump is pursuing. This is a choice about relinquishing authority to Democrats to set immigration policy even while a Republican president is in office.
Obama made up his own law in 2012 that said nearly 1 million eligible illegal immigrants in the U.S. would not only be overlooked by law enforcement but could come out, declare themselves to the public, and receive indefinite legal protection.
Take for granted that the program was created out of compassion — plus Obama’s upcoming re-election — for young immigrants who may only know the U.S. as their home, but it should then also be taken for granted that if one president can dictate immigration policy within the authority Congress has given them, the same right belongs to every other president. Or, at the very least, every other president should be able to exercise power in moving to limit the influx of foreigners by erecting limited structures on the border.
Not so fast, says the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit!
The federal court ruled in November that the Trump administration could not end the Obama-era program with the argument that it was never legal to set it up in the first place. And yet, in the court’s unanimous opinion, it repeatedly acknowledged that the executive branch has the right to determine enforcement of immigration law by way of “executive discretion.”
Page 10: Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals “was a permissible exercise of executive discretion.”
Page 27: The Reagan administration “exercised executive discretion to defer the deportation of the minor children of non-citizens” and “extended voluntary departure, the mechanism through which these individuals were allowed to remain in the United States is, like deferred action, a creature of executive discretion.”
Page 69: “We therefore conclude that DACA was a permissible exercise of executive discretion.”
Who with a straight face could argue that it’s acceptable “executive discretion” for one president to carve out an exception for up to 1 million people not legally entitled residence in the U.S. but that it’s unconstitutional for another duly elected executive to eliminate that same exception? The 9th Circuit did it.
Now Trump’s emergency declaration is, as everyone knew it would be, tangled up in court. That order didn’t even affect anyone in the U.S., whether legally here or not. It did nothing more than cobble together funds available to the executive so that Trump might add on to the existing walls and barriers at the southern border, slowing down the drug dealers, human traffickers, and child molesters from Central America.
Skittish Republicans can keep this in mind when presented with the fake dilemma that they must either choose between the Constitution and the president. They can instead choose reality.

Airline stocks and shares of Boeing tumbled Tuesday afternoon after President Donald Trump called off talks with Democrats for a national stimulus package until after the election, closing the main avenue for carriers battered by the pandemic to receive more aid.
American Airlines, United Airlines and other U.S. carriers began furloughing more than 32,000 workers last week. Airlines had agreed to not cut any jobs until after Oct. 1 under the terms of $25 billion in federal payroll support passed in March.
Carriers’ executives and labor unions were pleading for more aid in Washington in recent weeks. The proposal won bipartisan support but remained stuck as Democrats in Congress and the Trump administration failed to reach a national coronavirus package that could have included more aid.
Airlines that started furloughing their workers said they would reverse course if more aid was approved.
American’s shares were down 4%, United’s fell by 2.6%. Shares of Southwest Airlines, which asked its unionized employees to take pay cuts in order to avoid furloughs through the end of next year, were down 2.5%. Delta Air Lines was down 2.4% in the last hour of the session.
Boeing shares, already down on the day after issuing a downbeat aircraft demand forecast, were trading close to 6% lower after Trump’s announcement pausing stimulus talks.

Asked if he would say he was sorry to the women who have complained that he touched them inappropriately over the years, Mr. Biden repeatedly refused to give a direct apology. “Here’s the deal: I have to be much more aware of the private space of men and women — it’s not just women, but primarily women,” he said.
Pressed further by the hosts, he said: “I’m really sorry if what I did in talking to them, trying to console, that in fact they took it a different way.” He then addressed the women directly, saying, “Sorry I invaded your space,” though he said he did not do anything to make anyone uncomfortable intentionally.
In a lengthy telephone interview earlier this week, Ms. Hill told The Times that the call from Mr. Biden had left her feeling deeply unsatisfied. She declined to characterize Mr. Biden’s words to her as an apology and said she was not convinced that he has taken full responsibility for his conduct at the hearings.
“I cannot be satisfied by simply saying, ‘I’m sorry for what happened to you,’” said Ms. Hill, now a professor of social policy, law and women’s studies at Brandeis University. “I will be satisfied when I know there is real change and real accountability and real purpose.”
“The focus on apology, to me, is one thing,” Ms. Hill added. “But he needs to give an apology to the other women and to the American public because we know now how deeply disappointed Americans around the country were about what they saw.”
The Biden campaign said Thursday that it would have no comment beyond its initial statement about the call.
Mr. Biden and Ms. Hill “had a private discussion where he shared with her directly his regret for what she endured and his admiration for everything she has done to change the culture around sexual harassment in this country,” said the deputy campaign manager, Kate Bedingfield.
“The View” is the first of only a handful of appearances and events that the Biden campaign has announced. He is set to deliver remarks on Monday in Pittsburgh about “an inclusive middle class” and then campaign Tuesday and Wednesday in Iowa.

Una adolescente de 13 años fue internada el pasado martes en el Hospital de Rivera tras lesionarse al participar del juego “la ballena azul”, informó Telediario del Canal 10 de ese departamento. El caso es investigado por el departamento de delitos complejos de la jefatura de Policía departamental.
La joven presentaba cortes en un brazo con el diseño de una ballena. Según informó Telediario, ya había participado del juego en anteriores instancias y su curador (líderes que establecen los desafíos que los participantes deben cumplir) reside en Bolivia.
Se trata del primer caso registrado en el país.
La “Ballena Azul” propone a los participantes 50 desafíos para cumplir: el suicidio es el último de la lista, con el que termina el juego. Su origen no está claro, pero todo indica que nació en Rusia hace un par de años a través de noticias falsas y se expandió a través de las redes sociales hasta llegar a Brasil, donde se han presentado los casos más graves.
Los adolescentes reciben mensajes en su teléfono o en perfiles de Facebook para unirse a grupos cerrados y poder participar en el juego. Los curadores suelen ser adolescentes con perfiles falsos o personas que viven en otros países, sin ninguna relación con los participantes, y que mandan los mensajes con las pruebas a las 04:20 hora local.
Entre los retos a ser superados hay algunos simples, como dibujar una ballena en un papel y otros más mórbidos, como cortarse los labios, hacerse un agujero en la mano, tatuarse una ballena en el brazo con una lámina o pasar 24 horas sin dormir viendo películas de terror.
Los participantes deben mandar pruebas gráficas de que han realizado y cumplido las pruebas.
En Brasil se han detectado suicidios de adolescentes vinculados a este juego en Paraíba, Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, Curitiba y San Pablo.
Por el momento, las autoridades y los expertos aconsejan a los padres estar atentos con las actitudes de los hijos y alertar ante comportamientos extraños.
Horacio Porciúncula, director de Salud Mental de ASSE, explicó a Montevideo Portal que los adolescentes con mayor vulnerabilidad psicológica y aislamiento están más expuestos a este tipo de situaciones.
“Como padre, uno diría que las conductas para prohibir o controlar, deben ser una actitud de acompañamiento, de saber qué es lo que hacen nuestros hijos y negociar permanentemente, ver si hay alteraciones de sueño o de conducta o cambios en los vínculos habituales”, expresó el jerarca, y recomendó a los padres a ser más partícipes de lo que hacen sus hijos, y “procurar ayuda profesional”, en casos en los que se hace necesario.
El organismo emitió además una serie de recomendaciones para los padres.

President Trump declared a national emergency to free up funding for his border wall between the U.S and Mexico. But declaring a national emergency isn’t new — in fact, the use of emergency powers is older than the country itself.

Las llaman “fake news”, pero van más allá de ser simples “noticias falsas” pues tienen un gran impacto al servirse de las redes sociales para hacerse virales.
El debate sobre este fenómeno cobró fuerza desde las elecciones de 2016 en Estados Unidos, pero su presencia se ha hecho cada vez más evidente en la arena política en muchas partes del mundo.
Ocurrió en los comicios presidenciales en Francia de este año, donde entre otras cosas se dijo -por ejemplo- que la campaña del entonces candidato y actual presidente Emmanuel Macron estuvo financiada por Arabia Saudita.
Mientras en Alemania, la página web HoaxMap dijo a la revista Newsweek que en un año había descubierto al menos 250 historias falsas relacionadas con supuestos delitos cometidos por refugiados.
En las últimas semanas, el polémico referéndum sobre la independencia de Cataluña también han generado mucho ruido en España.
Las tensiones ante la iniciativa para aplicar la declaración de independencia unilateral por parte del gobierno autonómico así como por la decisión de Madrid de intervenir para evitar que eso ocurra también han estado alimentadas en parte por las noticias falsas.
BBC Mundo te cuenta sobre algunos de los casos más notorios de “fake news” surgidas en torno a la crisis política en Cataluña.
La imagen es fuerte: un hombre tiene la mitad del rostro ensangrentado mientras alguien coloca un trozo de tela verde sobre su cabeza como intentando detener la hemorragia. A lo lejos se puede ver estacionada una furgoneta de la policía.
La fotografía, publicada en Twitter el pasado 1 de octubre durante el referéndum sobre la independencia de Cataluña, viene acompañada de un texto explicativo en el que se dice que la persona fue herida en el barrio barcelonés de Gracia por una pelota de goma (de las que usan las fuerzas antidisturbios) y se pide la dimisión del presidente del gobierno de España, Mariano Rajoy.
La imagen sirvió para denunciar ante el mundo los supuestos excesos cometidos por las fuerzas de seguridad españolas en su intento de detener la votación de los independentistas catalanes donde de acuerdo con las autoridades autonómicas hubo más de 800 heridos.
Sin embargo, tiene un problema: la gráfica fue tomada en 2012 durante la represión en Madrid de una protesta de mineros que acabó con 76 heridos.
Otra fotografía ampliamente difundida que supuestamente retrataba lo ocurrido el 1 de octubre mostraba a unos policías antidisturbios golpeando con sus porras a un grupo de efectivos del cuerpo de bomberos.
“Esto lo has mandado tu @marianorajoy … #Vergüenza”, decía uno de los mensajes en Twitter que acompañaba la gráfica.
Sin embargo, la imagen original se correspondía con la represión de una protesta de los bomberos en el año 2013 en contra de unos recortes presupuestarios.
Paradójicamente, quienes reprimían no eran agentes de la Guardia Civil ni de la Policía Nacional sino de los Mossos d’Esquadra, la policía autonómica catalana, según reveló un grupo de periodistas españoles dedicados a desenmascarar estas noticias falsas a través de la cuenta de Twitter @malditobulo.
Dos historias falsas relacionadas con niños se hicieron virales el 1 de octubre.
Una de ellas mostraba la foto de un niño con la cabeza sangrante, la otra era un mensaje que afirmaba que un menor de seis años corría el riesgo de quedar paralítico tras ser golpeado durante una actuación policial el día del referéndum.
La primera de estas noticias utilizaba una fotografía correspondiente a un niño que efectivamente había resultado lesionado pero durante una huelga general realizada en 2012.
La segunda, fue desmentida directamente por el Cuerpo Nacional de Policía de España.
Pero, no toda la desinformación relacionada con el conflicto catalán surge de las filas de los independentistas, por supuesto.
“No podemos decir que haya habido más bulos desde el lado de los independentistas que desde los unionistas”, dijo a BBC Mundo Julio Montes, uno de los periodistas que forma parte del equipo de @malditobulo.
Montes explicó que desde el 30 de septiembre hasta el viernes pasado han detectado 21 noticias falsas relacionadas con Cataluña y procedentes de ambos lados de este conflicto.
Entre los críticos del independentismo catalán, el 1 de octubre circuló una imagen que mostraba a un policía tirado en el suelo que era golpeado por un grupo de personas enardecidas.
La fotografía era real, pero había sido tomada en 2008, durante una protesta de agricultores en provincia andaluza de Almería.
También se difundió otra noticia sobre la muerte de un policía procedente del País Vasco que supuestamente había sido desplazado a Barcelona, donde había fallecido de un infarto.
La muerte del funcionario era cierta, pero había ocurrido en Valladolid y no en Barcelona.
Pero, ¿cómo se explica que estas noticias falsas hayan logrado hacerse virales con tanta facilidad?
“La gente en España está con los sentimientos muy a flor de piel. En los bares y en las tertulias de televisión solo se habla de esto (del conflicto sobre Cataluña)“, dijo Montes a BBC Mundo.
El periodista señala que las personas cuando ven estas “noticias” que les tocan las emociones, las creen de buena fe y las comparten.
“Las noticias falsas tocan mucho los sentimientos. La gente recibe una foto de estas y las comparte sin querer hacer mal. Obviamente, quien inventa la historia sí tiene mala intención. Esto se ha convertido en un arma política más”, agrega Montes.
Un arma ante la cual, al parecer, muchos ciudadanos aún están indefensos.
