(CNN) — Junio es el Mes del Orgullo, cuando las comunidades LGBT del mundo se unen y celebran la libertad de ser ellas mismas.Las reuniones que se realizan alrededor del Orgullo LGBT tienen sus raíces en la ardua historia de grupos minoritarios que han luchado durante décadas para superar los prejuicios y ser aceptados por quienes son.Los organizadores originales eligieron este mes para rendir homenaje al levantamiento de Stonewall en junio de 1969 en la ciudad de Nueva York, evento que ayudó a impulsar el movimiento moderno por la lucha de los derechos de los homosexuales. La mayoría de los eventos del Orgullo tienen lugar cada año en el mes de junio, aunque algunas ciudades realizan sus celebraciones en otras épocas del año.1 de 10 | Mes del orgullo LGBT: Así se celebrará en varios países | La mayoría de los eventos del Orgullo LGBT de 2020 se cancelaron debido a la pandemia de covid-19.

ANÁLISIS | Trump tiene un historial de grabaciones en las que hace declaraciones inapropiadas de las que puede arrepentirse

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 18:05:09 GMT

(CNN) — La historia del expresidente Donald Trump de hacer comentarios inapropiados o cuestionables en grabaciones tuvo otro capítulo este miércoles con nuevas revelaciones de su vida posterior a la Casa Blanca.El último ejemplo surgió de información exclusiva de CNN que reportó que fiscales federales tienen una grabación de audio de Trump reconociendo que guardó un documento clasificado del Pentágono después de dejar el cargo. Parece improbable que la grabación haga mella en su posición política como favorito para la candidatura del Partido Republicano en 2024. Pero podría tener consecuencias reales en el limbo legal en el que vive.La mayoría de la gente recuerda las grabaciones publicadas por “Access Hollywood” en la que Trump utilizaba un lenguaje vulgar para afirmar que las “estrellas” pueden manosear a las mujeres. La aparición de esa grabación justo antes de las elecciones de 2016 no lo perjudicó políticamente. Pero más tarde defendió esa afirmaci...

Europe sends big hitters to Singapore to rally Asian allies against Russia

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 18:05:09 GMT

SINGAPORE — Europe is fretting that Asia isn’t doing enough to condemn Russia and support Ukraine — and it’s revving up efforts to sway Asian officials in person. On Friday, an unprecedentedly high-profile European delegation will converge in Singapore at the Shangri-La Dialogue, Asia’s top security forum. Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas will be there, as will EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, flanked by Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov. U.K. Defense Secretary Ben Wallace is also expected to attend in person — as are Boris Pistorius, Kajsa Ollongren and Pål Jonson, the defense ministers from Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden.Their goal: Rally more Asian countries to help Kyiv.While many Asian nations initially joined in condemning Russia’s invasion at the United Nations, countries like India and Vietnam continue to count on Russian military or energy supplies, while Western allies Japan and South Korea are unable to let Ukraine get their l...

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 18:05:09 GMT

WASHINGTON — The debt ceiling deal hammered out by President Joe Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy ends the pandemic-driven pause in student loan payments that’s been in place for more than three years while preserving Biden’s loan forgiveness plan — at least for now.But the GOP is pressing ahead with its effort to derail the president’s plan, which would forgive up to $10,000 in student loan debt for those who meet income limits, and another $10,000 for those who got Pell Grants.The Senate on Wednesday voted to take up a joint resolution of disapproval that would block the forgiveness plan. The measure passed the House last week with the support of every Republican and two Democrats: Reps. Jared Golden of Maine and Marie Glusenkamp Perez of Washington.The Senate vote on the motion to proceed was 51-46, with Democrats Joe Manchin III of West Virginia and Jon Tester of Montana as well as independent Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona voting “yea.”A vote on final passage...

MIAMI (AP) — It’s time for residents along the southeastern U.S. coastlines to make sure their storm plans are in place as the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season gets underway on Thursday.Forecasters are predicting a “near-normal” season, but Mike Brennan, the new director at the National Hurricane Center in Miami, stressed during a Wednesday news conference that there’s really nothing normal when it comes to hurricanes. “A normal season might sound good in comparison to some of the hurricane seasons in the past few years,” he said. “But there’s nothing good about a near-normal hurricane season in terms of activity.” WILL THE 2023 ATLANTIC HURRICANE SEASON BE BUSY?Uncertainty is the key word, Brennan said.
