(CNN Español) — Las medidas restrictivas adoptadas en el Canal de Panamá podrían afectar el consumo a fin de año en la región y hasta incidir en los precios al consumidor, aunque se trate del Black Friday.Desde principios de año, la sequía prolongada y el fenómeno El Niño obligaron a la Autoridad del Canal de Panamá a reducir el calado de 15 metros a 13, lo que significa menos carga en los buques, y a disminuir de 36 a 32 la cantidad de barcos que transitan por la vía interoceánica diariamente.Quienes conocen del mundo naviero aseguran que muchos de esos buques van cargados de contenedores con mercancía que para estas fechas tiene como destino Estados Unidos, sobre todo para las fiestas de fin de año, y necesita llegar a tiempo.“Carga que no te llega para Friday Night, o sea Black Friday, esa carga va a tener problema de que tú la puedas vender”, explicó a CNN el exadministrador del Canal de Panamá, Jorge Luis Quijano, quien dice que esa es la razón por la cual hay...

A Putin critic fell to his death in Washington. We still don’t know why

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:08:52 GMT

Almost exactly a year before the plane crash that killed mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, local police in D.C. were called to investigate the case of another former Moscow businessperson who also fell from the sky.Twelve months later, the plunge from an M Street apartment building of Dan Rapoport, a Soviet-born U.S. citizen who made a mint in post-communist Russia before souring on the regime, remains unexplained.Tellingly, it’s been largely forgotten in Washington.Though international media gave the story a lot of ink, the city had paid little attention — even though it involved a ghastly local death of a man who once moved in elite circles and owned the house that later became the Kalorama residence of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.Now, with the Prigozhin crash focusing new attention on murky Kremlin-adjacent deaths, some allies of Rapoport are speaking up about their unhappiness with Washington’s investigation of his demise, something city police almost immediately said likely...

Big nights from Casas, Devers, Verdugo snaps Red Sox losing streak

On June 13, Alex Cora shut down the idea of sending a struggling Triston Casas down to Triple-A Worcester to hone his craft.The 23-year-old rookie first baseman came into that day hitting .197 with a .683 OPS and 36 hits through his first 59 games. He entered Saturday, hitting .323 with a 1.008 OPS in 61 games since.On Saturday night in Kansas City, he went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs, two RBI, and a walk, helping the Red Sox snap their five-game losing streak with a 9-5 victory.The win was also Cora’s 432nd, tying predecessor John Farrell for sixth-most in franchise history.“At least for today, that was a good one,” the Red Sox manager told reporters.Scoring early and often was a welcome change after a long week full of staring up at early, steep deficits.

The AL West-leading Mariners’ offense proved to be too much to handle as the Amazins would fall 8-7 in the second of a three-game set.JP Crawford’s go-ahead solo homer in the top of the ninth off of Adam Ottavino proved to be the difference after the Mets erased two separate three-run deficits to no avail.DJ Stewart erased the first three-run deficit as his legend continues to grow late in this season. Stewart launched a three-run homer to dead center off of Mariners’ ace Luis Castillo in the bottom of the fourth with the Mets trailing 3-0.The 29-year-old’s season OPS is up to 1.010 in 38 games this season.
