(CNN Español) — A cinco años de que Andrés Manuel López Obrador asumiera la presidencia de México, su Gobierno ha logrado frenar el aumento anual de los homicidios dolosos, pero esos crímenes se mantienen en niveles elevados y ya superan a los registrados en todo el sexenio anterior, de acuerdo con cifras oficiales y especialistas consultados por CNN.Desde el 1 de diciembre de 2018 hasta el 31 de octubre de este año —la actualización más reciente—, en esta administración se han registrado 161.518 homicidios dolosos, un promedio de 2.737,59 al mes, según las estadísticas del Secretariado Ejecutivo del Sistema Nacional de Seguridad Pública (SESNSP).Este total representa 17,65% más que todos los homicidios dolosos registrados en el sexenio de Enrique Peña Nieto (2012-2018), cuando fueron 137.286.Durante este Gobierno, 2019 —primer año completo de esta gestión— cerró con 34.719 homicidios dolosos.

Browns starting Joe Flacco against the Rams. Veteran is fourth QB for Cleveland in ’23

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:12:03 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Joe Flacco isn’t exactly a rah-rah guy, but the veteran quarterback’s steady presence might be exactly what the Cleveland Browns need to stay in the playoff chase.Flacco will start Sunday for the Browns, kicking off his 16th NFL season by becoming the team’s fourth starting quarterback this year.“I don’t know if Joe’s ever been accused of being enthusiastic,” coach Kevin Stefanski said. “Joe’s a pro. I’ve been around pros. He’s right up there. He does his job.”The 38-year-old Flacco signed with the Browns (7-4) two weeks ago after Deshaun Watson had season-ending shoulder surgery. Flacco is playing this week against the Los Angeles Rams because rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson remains in the concussion protocol after getting hurt in last week’s loss at Denver.If Flacco plays well this week, he’ll likely remain Cleveland’s starter for the rest of the season.It’s a twist for the Browns as Flacco spent 11 seasons beating them while he played for AFC North rival Baltim...

US proposes plan to help the snow-dependent Canada lynx before warming shrinks its habitat

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:12:03 GMT

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — U.S. officials proposed a $31 million recovery plan for Canada lynx on Friday in a bid to help the snow-dependent wildcat species that scientists say could be wiped out in parts of the contiguous U.S. by the end of the century.The proposal marks a sharp turnaround from five years ago, when officials in Donald Trump’s presidency said lynx had recovered and no longer needed protection after their numbers had rebounded in some areas. President Joseph Biden’s administration in 2021 reached a legal settlement with environmental groups to retain threatened species protections for lynx that were first imposed in 2000.Populations of the medium-sized wildcats in New Hampshire, Maine and Washington state are most at risk as warmer temperatures reduce habitat for lynx and their primary food, snowshoe hares, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service documents indicate.But declines for lynx would be seen in boreal forests across the contiguous U.S. under even the most optimistic warm...

(The Hill) — A federal judge on Friday rejected former President Trump’s argument that he is immune in his 2020 election subversion criminal case, while also denying his other constitutional defenses."Whatever immunities a sitting President may enjoy, the United States has only one Chief Executive at a time, and that position does not confer a lifelong 'get-out-of-jail-free' pass, Former Presidents enjoy no special conditions on their federal criminal liability," U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan wrote in the 48-page ruling."Defendant may be subject to federal investigation, indictment, prosecution, conviction, and punishment for any criminal acts undertaken while in office," she added.Trump asserted the immunity defense in October, arguing all his actions leading up to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol are protected by presidential immunity. The former president faces four felony charges in the case, with Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith's office say...
