Un paso más en la modernización de la información ha dado el diario LA PRENSA con la primera transmisión en línea de Noticias LPTV, a través de su sitio web. El nuevo proyecto informativo mantiene al diario a la vanguardia digital del país.

 

Xochilt Gutiérrez, productora de Noticias LPTV, asegura que “en la internet está la nueva forma de hacer televisión y eso es lo que estamos haciendo junto con un grupo de jóvenes periodistas”, afirma la productora, que cuenta con vasta experiencia en el medio.

 

Noticias LPTV rompe con el modelo tradicional de ver noticias y ofrece nuevas alternativas a los usuarios de la red.

 

De acuerdo con Gutiérrez, los lectores de LA PRENSA tendrán la opción de ver el noticiero en www.laprensa.com.ni desde cualquier plataforma con acceso a internet, no exclusivamente frente a un televisor. Esto impulsa la proyección del país en materia de información, porque no solo las personas dentro de Nicaragua podrán informarse, sino que los residentes en el extranjero tendrán la oportunidad de enterarse de las noticias en otro formato, asegura Gutiérrez.

 

“Noticias LPTV es un proyecto innovador, que como toda profesional esperás sea un gran paso en tu carrera”, define Cindy Regidor, presentadora del noticiero. Regidor es una periodista joven con experiencia en prensa escrita y televisiva, que ahora forma parte de Noticias LPTV como la presentadora estelar del proyecto informativo de LA PRENSA.

 

NUEVA ALTERNATIVA

 

 

“Ahora nuestros anunciantes tendrán la oportunidad de apuntar hacia nuevos mercados y llegar más allá de sus objetivos, gracias a este proyecto de vanguardia que LA PRENSA ha desarrollado” asegura Ricardo Alvarado, gerente de mercadeo del Grupo Editorial LA PRENSA.

 

Noticias LPTV será transmitido en vivo a través del sitio web www.laprensa.com.ni, de lunes a viernes a las 4:30 de la tarde. Además, podrá seguir los comentarios de las noticias en las redes sociales usando la etiqueta #NoticiasLPTV en Twitter y Facebook, todas las emisiones serán grabadas y guardadas en tv.laprensa.com.ni para que usted pueda verlas, en caso de perderse la emisión en vivo.

More than a month before authorities found the decomposed remains of Florida fugitive Brian Laundrie in a swamp near his home, he allegedly slipped away from his parents’ house under the guise of a hike.

That was on Sept. 13, two days after Laundrie’s fiancée, Gabby Petito, was reported missing. His attorney, Steve Bertolino, told Fox News Digital Thursday that he immediately informed the FBI that his client had failed to come home.

However, local police in North Port, Florida, said they thought Laundrie was still inside the house until they knocked on the front door on Sept. 17.

Bertolino said that after he told the FBI that Laundrie failed to return from the park, he had no further contact with the FBI until they told him Friday about a tip that Laundrie had been seen in Tampa.

But from Tuesday evening to Thursday, neither Laundrie’s parents nor his attorney followed up with the FBI or local authorities about their missing son’s whereabouts.

“There was never any communication between myself and law enforcement in the next three days,” Bertolino told Fox News Digital. “They never asked me, and I never informed them that Brian didn’t come home.”

They also waited until the Friday meeting regarding the Tampa tip to file a missing person report.

BRIAN LAUNDRIE FOUND DEAD, FBI CONFIRMS REMAINS

“North Port PD was under the assumption that Brian was home, and so was the FBI when they got a tip on Friday that Brian was in Tampa, and they wanted to meet with us on Friday,” Bertolino said. “I was shocked and said, ‘That’s good. You found him in Tampa,’ and they said, ‘What do you mean? I thought he’s at the house.’ I said, ‘No, I told you the other day he never came home.'”

North Port Police Chief Todd Garrison had said in the middle of that week that he knew exactly where Brian Laundrie was – but he was wrong. 

Speaking to reporters during a news conference on Sept. 16, Garrison was asked if he knew where Laundrie was at that moment.

“Yes,” he replied.

BRIAN LAUNDRIE FAMILY LAWYER ADDRESSES RUMORS PARENTS PLANTED REMAINS

The family made no effort to correct him and showed no public urgency about their son’s whereabouts or well-being — even though Bertolino later told ABC News that Brian’s father, Chris Laundrie, believed his son was “grieving” and upset when he left for the Sept. 13 hike. The public didn’t know Petito was dead until authorities said they found her remains on Sept. 19.

Bertolino did not immediately respond to a request for clarification about Brian Laundrie’s mental state when he left or what he was “grieving” about.

Laundrie and Petito set off on a cross-country road trip earlier this year in a white Ford Transit van, which they lived out of as they camped at public parks along the way.

BRIAN LAUNDRIE SEARCH: FBI CONFIRMS UNIDENTIFIED HUMAN REMAINS, FUGITIVE’S BACKPACK AND NOTEBOOK FOUND

An FBI-led search found Petito’s remains at a Bridger-Teton National Forest campsite on Sept. 18 north of Jackson, Wyoming. Teton County Coroner Dr. Brent Blue later ruled her death a homicide by manual strangulation – meaning she’d been killed by hand.

A travel-blogging couple known as Red, White and Bethune spotted Petito’s van at the campsite on Aug. 27 – hours after what may have been the last time she was seen alive in public.

That day, Nina Celie Angelo and Matthew England were eating at Merry Piglets in Jackson when they saw Brian Laundrie arguing with restaurant staff, they told Fox News Digital last month.

Laundrie exited and reentered about four times, and Petito apologized to the workers for his behavior, the couple said.

Two weeks before that, witnesses in Moab, Utah, told police they’d seen Brian Laundrie slapping and hitting Petito outside an organic grocery store. He also allegedly threatened to take her phone and drive off without her before police pulled the couple over north of town.

Despite a Utah law requiring arrests or citations to be made in all domestic violence cases, police deemed the matter a “mental health break” and told the couple to spend the night apart. Moab officials later announced an investigation into the officers’ handling of the matter.

Ante una escalada de la crisis entre el gobierno catalán y el de España, el líder regional Carles Puigdemont iba acudir ante el Parlament para presumiblemente anunciar su intención de convocar a elecciones para diciembre, un aparente intento por reducir las tensiones con Madrid, aunque terminó por suspender la declaratoria y después dijo que no habrá a comicios pues no existen las “garantías”. Dejó en manos del parlamento regional decidir cómo responder al que el gobierno de Mariano Rajoy ya invocó el artículo 155 de la Constitución para remover al gobierno de Cataluña por sus movidas independentistas, pedido que iba a ser debatido mañana en el senado.

Queda por ver también la reacción del gobierno central a la sugerencia vía carta de Puigdemont de que el artículo 155 no permite removerlos del cargo sino darles “instrucciones a las autoridades autonómicas”.

La sequía en India

Los estragos del calentamiento global y del cambio climático parecen cada vez más notorios en un mundo en el que las temporadas de huracanes se han vuelto más intensas, las sequías más extendidas y los incendios forestales más grandes.

En Europa, por ejemplo, la producción del aceite de oliva se ha dificultado debido a factores como olas de calor o plagas que duran más tiempo, mientras que los incendios en zonas como California han resultado en las últimas semanas en la desaparición de varias especies en peligro de extinción.

Otro caso evidente es el de India, en particular el distrito de Nagapattinam, en Tamil Nadu. Ahí, cientos de miles de agricultores han terminado por suicidarse debido a que la sequía y las olas de calor han diezmado sus cosechas. Un estudio halló que mientras más altas son las temperaturas, más aumenta el promedio de suicidios.

“No conseguimos suficiente agua para quitarnos la sed. La poca agua que tenemos la usamos para mojar ligeramente nuestra boca y garganta”, dijo K. Muthu, una de las pocas habitantes que ha decidido quedarse en Nagapattinam.

El premio anual por la libertad de conciencia fue otorgado hoy por el Parlamento Europeo a los integrantes de la oposición venezolana, con mención particular a Julio Borges y quienes forman parte de la Asamblea Nacional, la legislatura venezolana que es el único organismo de gobierno no controlado por el chavismo, y a quienes han sido calificados como prisioneros políticos, entre ellos Leopoldo López, Yon Goicoechea y Antonio Ledezma.

El premio les fue extendido en apoyo “inquebrantable a la Asamblea Nacional, el único parlamento elegido democráticamente en Venezuela”, según el comité, en referencia a que a mediados del año se estableció la llamada Asamblea Nacional Constituyente, que quedó por encima de otros poderes, con lo que las medidas aprobadas por la Asamblea Nacional legislativa pueden ser supeditadas por un cuerpo de mayoría chavista. También hubo intentos previos por parte del Tribunal Supremo de Justicia de asumir las funciones de la legislatura.

“El Parlamento Europeo también quiere expresar su proximidad y rendir tributo al pueblo venezolano: a todos aquellos que han sido detenidos injustamente por expresar su opinión, a quienes luchan por sobrevivir diariamente bajo un régimen brutal y a las familias en duelo porque han perdido a sus seres queridos en estos meses de protestas ininterrumpidas a favor de la libertad”, dice el comunicado en el que se anuncia el Sájarov.

El galardón llega en momentos en que las divisiones internas de la coalición opositora Mesa de la Unidad Democrática se han vuelto cada vez más públicas ante reveses electorales por los que han acusado fraude.

• A semanas de la primera vuelta presidencial en Chile, programada para el 19 de noviembre, los sondeos más recientes sugieren que el expresidente Sebastián Piñera alcanzaría el 44,4 por ciento de los votos frente al senador Alejandro Guiller, que obtendría el 19,7 por ciento de los sufragios, y Beatriz Sánchez, la abanderada del gobernante Frente Amplio que sumaría 8,5 por ciento.

• Una sesión del senado mexicano que fue pospuesta ayer debería ser retomada hoy para discutir la reciente destitución del fiscal electoral Santiago Nieto después de que este fuera retirado del cargo por presuntas irregularidades de conducta. La situación está bajo investigación ya que poco antes había denunciado que un poderoso integrante del partido gobernante, el exdirector de la petrolera estatal Pemex Emilio Lozoya, le envió una carta en la que parecía exhortarlo a que dejara de investigarlo.

Lozoya Austin está siendo investigado por denuncias de que recibió dinero por parte de la oficina mexicana de Odebrecht en 2012, cuando estaba a cargo de la dirección internacional de la campaña del ahora presidente Enrique Peña Nieto. El exdirector de Pemex ya compareció hoy por el caso ante la FEPADE, la fiscalía para delitos electorales; dijo que no tenía responsabilidades en cuanto al supuesto financiamiento que habría hecho Odebrecht a la campaña de Peña Nieto.

Deadly, fast-rising floodwaters have forced thousands of people to flee their homes in Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin and Missouri.

At least three deaths have been blamed on the flooding, the result of a combination of runoff into rivers from the “bomb cyclone” storm that hit the country last week and spring snowmelt.

Satellite images provided by DigitalGlobe offer a before-and-after view of the historic flooding of the Missouri and Platte rivers south of Omaha, Nebraska.

The images capture the devastation the flood brought to areas along the river, including parts of Offutt Air Force Base and towns in Nebraska and Iowa.

Below is an image that provides an aerial view of Offutt AFB before and after the floodwaters rose.

The floodwaters have displaced more than 2,000 Iowans, who fled after heavy rains triggered flooding last week.

This image shows the flood’s impact in Pacific Junction, Iowa.

WASHINGTON – Donald Trump is president of the United States, but the former reality TV star still frequently speaks of the people in his political orbit through the lens of show business.

On Monday, in telling of a 2017 encounter with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump described Xi’s aides as straight out of “central casting.”

And in case anybody missed the point, the showman applied a few hand gestures for special effect: Pulling his hands to his face as he mentioned the aides’ glasses, Trump made two circles with his fingers and then strategically placed them around his eyes.

Showcasing his flair for drama, Trump regaled the nation’s governors with his tale of how he persuaded the Chinese president in 2017 to release three UCLA basketball players accused of shoplifting in Hangzhou, China.

Trump, who happened to be in Beijing at the time, said he broached the subject with Xi during a state dinner.

“I said, ‘Mr. President could you do me a favor? Could you let the three basketball players out?'” Trump said in remarks from the White House’s State Dining Room.

Xi called over to aides, Trump said, noting the Chinese president has “got people standing behind him. Everyone is central casting – central casting. Glasses. Pad. Boom.”

Within two minutes, according to Trump, Xi returned and Trump continued his plea on the athletes’ behalf.

“I said it would be a great thing if you could possibly let them out,” Trump said. “He goes, ‘So be it. They’re out.'”

Call it diplomacy, showbiz style.

It’s not the first time Trump has used the phrase “central casting” to describe people around him.

Trump repeatedly described Justice Brett Kavanaugh, then his nominee for the Supreme Court, as being from “central casting” as a way to express his surprise that Democrats objected to the judge following allegations of sexual assault. Kavanaugh was ultimately confirmed.

“I’m going to nominate you for the United States Supreme Court,” Trump said during a rally last November in Tennessee, recalling a conversation he had with Kavanaugh.

“I said this is going to – you are so central casting. Great marks, great schools, the best everything, the best of everything.”

Quite frequently, the president uses the phrase as a term of endearment.

“Is he central casting or what?” Trump asked during a Mississippi rally in October, calling Gov. Phil Bryant to the stage. “He’s central casting.”

The former reality television star used the phrase earlier on in his presidency at the same annual governors meeting – this time referring to Vice President Mike Pence. 

“And thank you to Vice President Pence. He has been so wonderful to work with. He’s a real talent, a real guy,” Trump said. “And he is central casting, do we agree? Central casting. He’s been great.”

He even used the phrase on the first day of his presidency, referencing to his Defense Secretary, Jim Mattis.   

“This is central casting,” Trump said. “If I was doing a movie, I pick you, General.”

As for the basketball players, all three – LiAngelo Ball, Jalen Hill and Cody Rile – were freed and allowed to return to the United States, where they later thanked Trump for helping secure their release.

But Trump has suggested he doesn’t believe he has gotten enough credit for bringing them home.

Trump noted that Ball’s father, LaVar Ball, had minimized his involvement in securing the players’ release.

“We came back and the one father said, ‘Well, we don’t know that Trump helped. I sent a consultant,'” Trump said.

“That consultant would have gotten nowhere.”.

Trump’s mantra: President’s next move on North Korea? ‘We’ll see’

A new TV ad by a pro-GOP group that backs party candidates running in state legislative elections is going where Republicans have been hesitant to go until recent weeks. 

The spot ties an incumbent Democratic state delegate in Virginia who’s running for reelection this November to President Biden, whose approval ratings have taken a major hit over the past month and a half.

The commercial, by the Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC), uses a recording of Virginia state lawmaker Alex Askew saying that he and other Democrats in the commonwealth can “run on the record that President Biden and our folks and partners in Washington, D.C., are doing.” 

WHAT’S BEHIND THE DROP IN PRESIDENT BIDEN’S POLL NUMBERS

The spot targeting Askew is part of a six-figure ad buy launched last month by the RSLC in the Virginia contests, which are being seen by many pundits as a bellwether ahead of next year’s midterm elections.

Up until now, Republican ads targeting Democratic members of Congress and state lawmakers who face challenging reelections this year and next year have often tied them to such Democratic leaders as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, progressive champion Sen. Bernie Sanders, liberal firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other members of the so-called “Squad.”

WHERE BIDEN STANDS IN THE LATEST FOX NEWS NATIONAL POLL

Biden, who until early last month enjoyed healthy poll numbers, was not to be seen. But the president’s standing among Americans is flagging in the wake of Biden’s much criticized handling of the turbulent U.S. exit from Afghanistan, and amid a surge in COVID cases this summer among mainly unvaccinated people due to the spread of the highly infectious delta variant.

And that appears to be changing the way Republican operatives and strategists view the president.

“This is the most directly we’ve linked a Virginia House Democrat to President Biden so far this cycle. Given the president is under water in this district and in other targets of ours, stay tuned for more of us holding Virginia Democrats accountable for standing by the failures of Biden and his radical liberal allies in Washington,” an official with the  RSLC told Fox News.

And it’s not just the RSLC.

Michael McAdams, communications director for the National Republican Congressional Committee, the reelection arm of the House GOP, told Fox News that “Joe Biden’s failed policies will be weaponized in races around the country and serve as an anchor around the neck of every vulnerable House Democrat.” 

Meanwhile, Biden also co-stars in a recent spot by the America’s Job Creators for a Strong Recovery, a coalition of more than 30 business and industry groups. Last month they launched the first in a series of planned ads taking aim at the $3.5 trillion spending package being pushed by the president and congressional Democrats.

“Biden, Pelosi, and Bernie are pushing a job-killing agenda that will hammer Main Street businesses and working families,” charges the narrator in the digital spot, which targets moderate Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, who could face a challenging reelection next year.

Democrats are defending the governor’s office and their control of both houses of state legislature in Virginia this November. And nationally, Democrats are defending their razor-thin majorities in the House and Senate in the 2022 midterm elections.

TRUMP, WITH SPATE OF 2022 ENDORSEMENTS, GOES WHERE NO FORMER PRESIDENT’S GONE BEFORE

When the president’s party controls both chambers of Congress, the midterms are usually a referendum on that president’s record and performance in office. And the presidential approval rating is a key barometer heading into midterms elections. 

From President Obama in the 2010 midterms to President Trump in the 2018 elections, there’s a history of the minority party and their allies targeting a first-term president their ads.

“There’s still a long way to go until next year’s midterms but the growing political parallels for the Democrats between President Obama’s and President Biden’s first terms are hard to ignore,” longtime GOP consultant Brian Walsh argued. “In both instances, they campaigned as a moderate but then pursued a very partisan and liberal political agenda once in office that ultimately backfired for their party in the midterms.”

Walsh, a former top strategist for GOP Sen. John Cornyn of Texas who also served as National Republican Senatorial Committee communications director during the 2010 and 2012 cycles, forecast that “there’s no question that House and Senate Democrats running in battleground races are going to be much more hesitant to hitch themselves to President Biden in the way that they might have nine months ago.”

But Democratic operative and strategist Chris Moyer argued that “the thought that tying vulnerable candidates to President Biden is going to work in the long term seems like a little bit of a risky bet. I think there’s a sense that it may have been a rough few weeks for President Biden. But I think folks have known who Joe Biden is for a long time and he’s going to have a chance to right the ship and he’s taking a lot of actions to do that already.”

Moyer, a veteran of the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign and Sen. Cory Booker’s bid for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, predicted that “the decision to try to tie candidates to the president may not look so good in hindsight, a few months down the road.”

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot berated reporters during a press conference addressing the shooting death of officer Ella French on Wednesday, saying the media is in a “race to the bottom” and that their reporting on her in recent days has been “sickening.”

Two brothers have been arrested and charged in the fatal shooting of 29-year-old French during a traffic stop Saturday night. More than two dozen Chicago police officers turned their backs when greeted by Lightfoot late Saturday at the University of Chicago Medical Center, where French’s partner remains in critical condition.

CHICAGO COPS TURN THEIR BACKS TO MAYOR LIGHTFOOT AT HOSPITAL AFTER TWO OFFICERS SHOT

Asked to address the officers’ protest, Lightfoot lamented that “we are living in a time where people don’t respect each other.”

“Larger than that is this moment where people feel like it is their right to spew hatred at everyone that they don’t agree with or make fun and mock, usually anonymously and cowardly from social media, not confronting somebody directly and talking to them, but using the power of the pen and the keyboard to just spew unbelievable hate,” she said.

“So this is a larger question than what may have happened with 10 or 15 officers on Saturday night,” she continued. “It’s why do we think it is OK for people to engage in such nasty, vicious talk, orally or worse, on social media, and then have it repeated by media as if it is fact and true.

“I think our media plays a very important role in our democracy, but you lose me, you lose me when it’s a race to the bottom and it’s all about the fight and it’s all about the conflict,” she said. “I’ve got to tell you, some of the reporting I’ve seen this week is just sickening. We all need to ask ourselves what we can do better to show our people everywhere that we have the capacity to be human beings again.”

Lightfoot got visibly irritated after another reporter asked her about reports that First Deputy Police Superintendent Eric Carter rushed French’s funeral procession by calling off a traditional honor guard and bagpipe salute.

“The reporting on that is just not true,” the mayor said. “It’s not true.” 

FALLEN CHICAGO OFFICER’S RUSHED TRIBUTE REFLECTS ANTI-POLICE TREND, EX-SUPERINTENDENT SAYS

Lightfoot cited “COVID protocols” by the Medical Examiner’s Office and claimed a protest group that “wanted to hijack the procession” complicated matters outside of the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.

However, a spokeswoman for the Medical Examiner’s Office told WGN News that “protocols for processions at the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office have not changed since the pandemic began.”

Lightfoot vehemently defended Carter’s decision to skip the tradition.

“Eric Carter made the right call,” she said. “I support what he did. And I’m horrified that in this moment, people are trying to savage him for whatever agenda or purpose.

“And I would just caution you all. Be careful. Be careful,” she said. “Check your sources. Make sure they’re accurate. Get the right context. Because I know firsthand, it’s really hard when the media becomes ferocious in propagating a story that’s just not true.”

Lightfoot then lashed out at another reporter who cited reports she “forced” her way upstairs at the hospital against the injured officer’s wishes.

“I’m not going to respond to that,” she said. “I don’t force my way anywhere. And that’s offensive, frankly, that you would ask me that question. … I just sat here and talked about the fact that we’ve got to be really careful and you have to be really careful in your reporting and be responsible. And you just keep lobbing this nonsense that’s offensive and insulting and really does a disservice to the moment that we’re in.

“Give me a break,” she added. “What else are you going to mine from the bottom of the chum barrel? Come on. You’re better than that. You’re better than that. You’re better than that.”

En el exterior de la cínica se vio como la policía se llevaba a un hombre detenido.

Al menos tres personas –una de ellas un agente de policía– murieron este viernes en un tiroteo en una clínica de Planned Parenthood en la ciudad de Colorado Springs, Colorado, en el oeste de EE.UU.

La policía ya detuvo al sospechoso de realizar los disparos, quien se atrincheró durante horas en el interior de la clínica, informó el alcalde de la localidad, John Suthers.

Al menos 9 personas –cinco de ellas policías– resultaron heridas en el tiroteo, que se produjo en instalaciones del que es el mayor proveedor de servicios reproductivos de EE.UU.

Una fuente de la policía identificó al autor de los disparos como Robert Lewis Dear, de Carolina del Norte. No se dieron más detalles.

Un hombre armado abrió fuego en las inmediaciones de una clínica de Planned Parenthood en Colorado Springs.

“Quiero transmitir a los seres queridos de las víctimas que esto es una tragedia terrible, es terrible lo que ocurrió hoy en Colorado Springs”, declaró el alcalde Suthers.

“Obviamente, perdimos dos víctimas civiles. Y lamentamos la pérdida de un agente de policía muy valiente”.

El agente muerto fue identificado como Garrett Swasey, de 44 años, casado y con dos hijos.

Motivos inciertos

Las autoridades dijeron que todavía no está claro si este incidente está vinculado con el trabajo que se realiza en las cínicas de Planned Parenthood.

La organización emitió un comunicado en el que coincide en decir que no se sabe “si la organización era objetivo del ataque”.

No está claro si algún civil ha resultado herido en el incidente

Según la teniente Catherine Buckley, varias personas fueron evacuadas de la clínica mientras el atacante permanecía dentro.

“Nuestra preocupación se centra en la seguridad de los pacientes, el personal y los agentes de seguridad”, escribió la directora ejecutiva de Planned Parenthood, Vicki Cowart.

Planned Parenthood tiene 700 clínicas repartidas por todo EE.UU. y ha estado en el centro de la polémica en los últimos meses después de que un grupo antiabortista hiciera públicos unos videos en los que aparecían algunos de sus altos ejecutivos supuestamente discutiendo con un lenguaje gráfico la venta de órganos y tejidos de fetos abortados.

Desde la organización se defendieron asegurando que los videos fueron editados para dañar su imagen y que no hacen negocio con los abortos que practican.

Los niños fueron rescatados de una de estas casas, en San Antonio, Texas.

La Policía de Texas, Estados unidos, rescató este viernes a ocho niños de una situación de “abuso horrendo” en la ciudad de San Antonio.

El rescate se produjo después de que un vecino de los menores llamara a las autoridades y para advertir que había escuchado a uno de ellos llorando por un largo rato.

Cuando los oficiales llegaron al lugar, encontraron a un niño de dos años encadenado en el jardín.

También había una pequeña de tres años amarrada a una puerta con una correa de perro.

Esta menor tenía un brazo roto, por lo que fue llevada a un hospital local.

Padres arrestados

Seis niños más, de edades entre 10 meses y 13 años, estaban solos dentro de la casa.

Cuando los padres de seis de los ocho llegaron a la casa, fueron arrestados.

El abuso ocurrió en San Antonio, al este de Texas.

“Es deprimente”, dijo el vocero de la policía del condado de Bexar, James Keith, al diario local San Antonio Express News.

“Calificar a este hecho como horrendo sería atenuarlo. Si no hubiera sido por nuestros oficiales y por el vecino que nos llamó, sabemos que esto pudo haber terminado peor”, agregó.

Una agencia del estado de Texas está cuidando a los niños ahora.

La policía está buscando a los padres de las otras dos víctimas.

Inicia una semana importante para la política mexicana ya que el domingo se llevarán a cabo las elecciones en el Estado de México en las cuales elegirán un nuevo gobernador, después de conocer a los candidatos y sus aliados, te damos cinco claves para tener contexto antes de votar. Después de que Pemex mantuviera el monopolio por las gasolinas, llegan nuevos competidores al ruedo. Las bitcoins siguen siendo muy populares, tanto que podrías llegar a recibir parte de tu sueldo en esta moneda. En un triunfo inesperado, las Chivas de Guadalajara, salen del abismo en el que habían estado por años, gracias a “un viejo león”, Matías Jesús Almeyda.

1. 5 claves para seguir las elecciones en el Estado de México

En el Estado de México las elecciones presentan a los analistas políticos una radiografía del clima electoral para poder delinear sus estrategias para los comicios presidenciales, debido a la importancia de la entidad.

En esta ocasión se disputan en las elecciones de cuatro estados 445 cargos de elección popular y 80 de representación proporcional (plurinominales). En tres estados son 21 las personas que aparecerán en las boletas como candidatos a Gobernador, de las cuales sólo cuatro son mujeres y seis van por la vía independiente. Este es un año electoral en el que se renovará la gubernatura de tres entidades, con especial atención al resultado de una de ellas. Si quieres saber que depara en esta ocasión al Estado de México, entra a la nota completa.

2. Las nuevas marcas de gasolineras en México

12 marcas de gasolineras buscan alimentar el mercado mexicano de combustibles, tras romper los 77 años de monopolio que tuvo a Pemex en el poder de la venta de gasolinas y diesel.

Después de que en 2014 se aprobara la Reforma Energética, se abrió la posibilidad de que empresas nacionales y extranjeras iniciaran operaciones en nuestro país en el mercado retail de combustibles y otras fases del negocio del petróleo.

La idea es que con la entrada de nuevas marcas de gasolineras la competencia del mercado beneficiara a los consumidores con mejores precios y prácticas, a diferencia del modelo anterior en la única marca de gasolineras que operaba en el país era la de la paraestatal. Las nuevas marcas de gasolineras tendrán una nueva oferta de valor, al buscar diferenciarse unas de otras con la calidad y el servicio.

3. ¿Aceptarías cobrar parte de tu salario en bitcoins?

Para los que no saben el bitcoin en la moneda virtual por excelencia y está en alza. El crecimiento exponencial del comercio en internet y la alta seguridad de sus transacciones ha provocado que el precio se haya disparado en los últimos meses hasta llegar a superar los 2,700 dólares por unidad recientemente, el doble del precio del oro.

En este contexto, los comercios online más innovadores, Microsoft, Tesla, Amazon o Subway, entre otros, han ido incorporando la posibilidad de pago con esta moneda a través de internet para prácticamente la totalidad de los bienes de consumo más comunes.

4. Arropados por sus cúpulas, en la recta final en Edomex

Faltan sólo ocho días para que se realicen los comicios en el Estado de México donde se pondrá a prueba el futuro del PRI, como lo dijo el candidato por el partido tricolor. Delfina Gómez Álvarez, la candidata por Morena, hizo un llamado al presidente de la República, Enrique Peña Nieto, a respetar los resultados de la elección porque según ella y su máximo respaldo político (AMLO), serán los ganadores de la gubernatura.

Josefina Vázquez Mota, candidata del Partido Acción Nacional, aseguró que por primera vez habrá alternancia en el Estado de México y dijo que “hay faldas y pantalones para poner orden”. Por otra parte, el candidato por el PRD, dijo que no va a declinar a favor de otro partido “Van a decir que nos dan ultimátums para declinar, nos van a decir que es nuestra última oportunidad y les quiero decir a los que seguramente van a querer decir eso en estos últimos días, que se ahorren las palabras, les quiero decir que yo sí tengo lealtad y mi lealtad está con el PRD y con ustedes y que vamos a ganar y que se ahorren las palabras”.

5. Almeyda, un ‘viejo león’, toca la gloria

Las Chivas del Guadalajara tenían un largo tiempo sin saborear la victoria. Un “viejo león” llegó al equipo para cambiar la historia. Después de sufrir una depresión, Matías Jesús Almeyda, director técnico del Club Guadalajara, logró transmitirle al equipo de 11 jugadores, el coraje y la pasión de más de 40 millones de aficionados a este equipo para levantar la copa el domingo en la final de la Liga MX.

El equipo parecía estar condenado al descenso cuando llegó Matías a liderar al rebaño sagrado. La recuperación emocional del director técnico se impregnó también en el equipo, logrando que los jugadores obtuvieran el título en Guadalajara.

En Venezuela, un país que tiene severas restricciones en los medios de comunicación, hay un canal que está emitiendo un noticiero que se llama “Desnudando La Noticia”.

“Damos noticias desnudas, sí, pero no faltamos al respeto a nadie”, afirmó una de las periodistas, pero una detractora defensora de la mujer dijo, “lo que menos claro queda es la noticia”, así que hay opiniones para todos los gustos tras esta polémica forma de dar información.

Las presentadoras, a medida que van dando las noticias se van quitando la ropa hasta quedarse totalmente desnudas, y a pesar del corto tiempo que lleva en el aire, como era de esperar, ya tiene un mar de seguidores por todo el mundo, pero también detractores como hemos visto.

De lo que seguro no queda duda es de que los níveles de audiencia deben estar por los aires y que el éxito está asegurado.

Habría que ver también cuál es el género mayoritario de su audiencia y qué opinan las espectadoras sobre esta curiosa forma de dar la información.

Si la noticia es una exposición de la verdad, DLN podría tener un slogan como: “La verdad nos hará libres… libres de ropa”

Nebraska GOP Sen. Ben Sasse, in an interview Thursday with Fox News, ramped up his criticism of Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam over comments on a controversial late-term abortion bill — saying the governor effectively discussed “infanticide” and should resign if he won’t back down.

Sasse, a pro-life Republican, said Northam’s comments were “morally repugnant” and argued the Democratic governor should “get the hell out of office” if he doesn’t support protecting the life of a child who survived an abortion.

“The comments the governor of Virginia made were about fourth-term abortions,” Sasse said on Fox News’ “The Daily Briefing with Dana Perino.” “That’s not abortion, that’s infanticide.”

OUTRAGE AS VIDEO SHOWS VIRGINIA ABORTION BILL SPONSOR SAYING PLAN WOULD ALLOW TERMINATION UP UNTIL BIRTH

Northam’s comments were made during an appearance on a local radio station to discuss The Repeal Act, which seeks to repeal restrictions on third-trimester abortions.

Virginia Democratic Del. Kathy Tran, a sponsor, sparked outrage from conservatives when she was asked at a hearing if a woman about to give birth and dilating could still request an abortion. The bill was tabled in committee this week.

“My bill would allow that, yes,” she said. Existing state law does not put an absolute time limit on abortions and Tran’s legislation does not alter that, but it does loosen restrictions on the need to get additional certification from doctors.

NEW YORK ‘CELEBRATES’ LEGALIZING ABORTION UNTIL BIRTH

Northam, a former pediatric neurologist, had been asked about Tran’s comments and said he couldn’t speak for her, but said that third-trimester abortions are done with “the consent of obviously the mother, with consent of the physician, multiple physicians by the way, and it’s done in cases where there may be severe deformities or there may be a fetus that’s not viable.”

“So in this particular example if a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen, the infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”

Northam’s comments quickly led to an outpouring of criticism from Republicans and pro-life activists. Sasse questioned why pro-life Democrats have not spoken out in opposition to the comments made by Northam and Tran. Neither of the two pro-life Democrats in the Senate – Bob Casey of Pennsylvania and Joe Manchin of West Virginia – has made public comments about the controversy.

“The Democratic Party has not come out and condemned this, and they really should be,” he said.

Northam pushed back hard on his critics, tweeting: “I have devoted my life to caring for children and any insinuation otherwise is shameful and disgusting.”

Northam Communications Director Ofirah Yheskel said GOP critics were “trying to play politics with women’s health” — and sought to clarify her boss’ comments:

“No woman seeks a third trimester abortion except in the case of tragic or difficult circumstances, such as a nonviable pregnancy or in the event of severe fetal abnormalities, and the governor’s comments were limited to the actions physicians would take in the event that a woman in those circumstances went into labor. Attempts to extrapolate these comments otherwise is in bad faith and underscores exactly why the governor believes physicians and women, not legislators, should make these difficult and deeply personal medical decisions.”

Tran’s legislation would reduce the number of doctors who would have to certify late-term abortions are needed from three to one. It would also delete the requirement that doctors determine that continuing a pregnancy would “substantially and irremediably” impair a woman’s health. Instead doctors would only have to certify that the woman’s health was impaired.

Supporters said the changes in law would help reduce the bureaucratic burdens women face when dealing with difficult decisions involving late-term abortions, which often involve serious medical complications.

The effort in Virginia follows New York passing a bill last week loosening restrictions on abortion, as New Mexico, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Virginia, and Washington also pass new laws expanding abortion access or move to strip old laws from the books that limit abortions.

After images of drunken spring-breakers partying amid a contagion were broadcast nationally, DeSantis — a protégé of President Donald Trump — was thrust into the vanguard of Republican governors balking at issuing a broad shelter-in-place order to limit the spread of the virus.

As the state’s coronavirus caseload has increased, so has the criticism of DeSantis, making him an inevitable target for Biden in a state Trump must carry in order to win the White House.

“Floridians deserve science-based action from Governor Ron DeSantis,” Biden said in a written statement that faulted the “absence of leadership from President Trump.”

“While other large states continue to take strong, urgent, and sweeping action to stop the spread of COVID-19, Florida has not. I urge Governor DeSantis to let the experts speak to the public and explain why this is the case,” Biden said. “In this moment of growing uncertainty and anxiety, Floridians want — and deserve — to hear from the public health officials leading the charge.”

Republicans called Biden’s statement a desperate political move to damage the president by attacking DeSantis, a top ally whose successful 2018 primary campaign revolved around fealty to Trump.

Trump has since changed his residency to Florida, made sure to focus his attention deeply on the state and, on Wednesday, approved a disaster declaration to let federal aid flow more easily to the state.

Florida, which has the highest percentage of 65 and older population in the nation, has been slow to test for coronavirus. But as testing has ramped up, so have reported caseloads, which surged 35 percent in a day’s time to 1,977.

The president’s national poll numbers have improved since he began holding regular White House news briefings, where he occasionally praises DeSantis. At the same time, Trump has occupied the spotlight, Biden has been stuck at home, maintaining social distance as he slowly ramps up ‘virtual’ public appearances from a newly installed home studio in Wilmington, Del.

“The Gallup Poll today had President Trump at a 60 percent approval for how he’s handling the crisis and the governor’s polling was pretty close last week on how he’s handling it,” said Evan Power, chairman of the council of county chairs for the Republican Party of Florida.

“So it’s not a great move to criticize DeSantis or the president over this,” Power said. “It’s a cry for relevancy.”

After the March 10 round of primaries, Biden has struggled to capture the media spotlight as national TV news turn its near-complete attention to coronavirus and away from the 2020 campaign trail.

Over the period beginning March 11 through Wednesday, Trump has gotten 440,785 television mentions nationally compared to roughly 83,000 for Biden, according to TV Eyes, a program that tracks mentions.

Biden also received a fraction of the attention Trump got on March 17, the day the former vice president won a key bloc of primary states — including Florida — and essentially ended his primary contest with Bernie Sanders. In a typical election year, that performance would have given any presidential candidate a big shot of momentum and national airtime.

That day, Biden’s name was mentioned 5,417 times nationally, compared to Trump’s 16,488.

Everywhere hillsides and mountain peaks rise above the landscape, there was snow to be seen around the San Francisco Bay Area.

Residents woke Tuesday morning to the unlikely sight of mountaintops frosted in powder sugary-snow after a cold storm dropped down from the Northwest, pushing temperatures down into the 20s and 30s and delivering snow.


Snowfall on the Bay Area’s highest mountain peaks above 4,000 feet elevation occurs annually, but with this storm the snow levels dropped remarkably low with accumulation down to 1,000 feet and snow that didn’t stick as low as 400 feet.

SFGATE readers are sending in images of their snow-covered cars, backyards and roads as well as lots of snowy views of Mt. Tamalpais, the East Bay hills, Mt. St. Helena and the Santa Cruz mountains that saw more than eights inches of accumulations in some spots.


San Francisco resident Jeanette Flodell, who shared an image of the Marin hills taken from the city, shared, “For a brief second, I thought I had teleported back to Scandinavia, and wanted to bring out the x-country skis!”

Rob Ferber of the Santa Cruz Mountains sent in an image taken from Skyline near Bear Gulch early Tuesday morning, and wrote, “It is snowing now!”

Please take a look at readers’ photos in the gallery above and email your images to agraff@sfgate.com and we’ll add them to the gallery.

While temperatures are forecast to remain chilly with highs in the 40s Tuesday, the snow is unlikely to last long as the skies clear and the sun shines over mountaintops.
