Escaladores sordos hacen historia en el Everest

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:44:06 GMT

(CNN) — ¿Cómo puedes hacer señas si llevas un piolet en la mano? ¿Se niegan los guías a trabajar contigo si no oyes? ¿Qué ocurre si no puedes ver al otro cuando se comunican por señas por la noche?Estas son solo algunas de las cuestiones que los aventureros estadounidenses Scott Lehmann y Shayna Unger han abordado en su canal de YouTube, que documenta sus experiencias como pareja sorda que se abre camino hacia las cumbres de las montañas más altas del mundo.El 22 de mayo, Unger y Lehmann se convirtieron en la tercera y cuarta personas sordas en hacer cumbre en el Everest.Casualmente, en el camino Unger y Lehmann se encontraron con la segunda persona sorda en llegar a la cima: el ciudadano malasio Muhammad Hawari Hashim, que escaló el pico el 18 de mayo y fue visto sonriendo orgulloso mientras sostenía la bandera de Malasia en una imagen compartida en las redes sociales.El hecho de que tres personas sordas escalaran la montaña más alta del mundo con tan solo unos días de difere...

Russia accuses Australia of ‘Russophobic hysteria’ for blocking second embassy on security grounds

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:44:06 GMT

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Russia accused Australia of “Russophobic hysteria” for canceling the lease on the land where Moscow wanted to build its new embassy, which the Australian government judged to be a security risk because it was too close to Parliament House.Parliament passed emergency legislation blocking the lease Thursday after Russia won a Federal Court appeal last month against local Canberra authorities’ decision to do the same.The Russian Embassy responded on Friday by posting on social media a Russian news agency TASS report of Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov’s condemnation of Australia’s actions.“Australia, having canceled the lease agreement for the site for the construction of the new Russian Embassy building, diligently continues to move forward in the main stream of the authors of the Russophobic hysteria and tries to distinguish itself on this path,” Peskov is quoted as saying.“Another unfriendly display from Australia. We will take this into account and if t...

Teens with severe obesity are turning to surgery and new weight loss drugs, despite controversy

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:44:06 GMT

John Simon III was a hungry baby, a “chunky” toddler and a chubby little boy, his mother said. But by age 14, his weight had soared to 430 pounds and was a life-threatening medical condition.Nine months after weight-loss surgery that removed a portion of his stomach, John has lost about 150 pounds, boosting his health — and his hopes for the future.“It was like a whole new start,” said John, who will start high school in California this fall. In Minnesota, Edward Kent was diagnosed with fatty liver disease. The 6-foot, 300-pound high school sophomore started using the obesity drug Wegovy in January — just a month after federal regulators approved it for children 12 and older — and has lost 40 pounds.“It’s a huge deal and it will affect him for the rest of his life,” said his mother, Dr. Barbara Van Eeckhout, an obstetrician-gynecologist. “This is about his health.”John and Edward are among a small but growing group of young teens turning to treatments like body-altering surgery and ...

Microchips manufacturer Intel on Friday announced a new investment in Poland worth €4.6 billion to ramp up its capacity in Europe for chip assembly and testing. The U.S.-based company has selected a site near Wrocław, in southwest Poland, for new factories slated to start running in 2027, Chief Executive Officer Pat Gelsinger said in a statement. The firm announced last year that Poland was among the countries that would benefit from the company’s €33 billion investment plan across the bloc, alongside Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain and France.The Wrocław plant — expected to create 2,000 jobs onsite — will work closely with Intel’s €17 billion state-of-the-art microchips production site in Magdeburg, Germany, which is also scheduled to go live in 2027. Ireland is also a major manufacturing hub for Intel in Europe.While workers at Intel’s factories in Germany and in Ireland will produce “wafers,” which serve as the base of a microchip, the new Polish plan...

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece’s coast guard launched its third and final day of a search Friday in the area where a large fishing boat crammed with migrants sank, with hundreds of passengers missing and feared dead.The round-the-clock effort continued off the coast of southern Greece despite little hope of finding survivors or bodies after none have been found since Wednesday, when 78 bodies were recovered and 104 people were rescued.Most of the survivors were being moved Friday to migrant shelters near Athens from a storage hangar at the southern port of Kalamata, where relatives also gathered to look for loved ones.Nine people — all men from Egypt, ranging in age from 20 to 40 — have been arrested and detained on allegations of people smuggling and participating in a criminal enterprise. Twenty-seven of the survivors remain hospitalized, health officials said.Coast guard spokesman Nikos Alexiou, citing survivors’ accounts, said that passengers in the hold of the fishing boat includ...

UNICEF calls for better protection for Sudan’s children trapped in ‘unrelenting nightmare’

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:44:06 GMT

CAIRO (AP) — The conflict in Sudan has killed over 330 children and left 13 million more in dire need of humanitarian assistance, UNICEF said Friday, calling on the country’s warring factions to better protect vulnerable young people.For two months, Sudan’s military, led by Gen. Abdel Fattah Burhan, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, commanded by Gen. Mohamed Hamden Dagalo, have been locked in a deadly power struggle. The fighting has killed more than 958 civilians, according to Sudan’s Doctors’ Syndicate, which only tracks civilian casualties. The true death toll is likely much higher.“Children are trapped in an unrelenting nightmare, bearing the heaviest burden of a violent crisis they had no hand in creating – caught in the crossfire, injured, abused, displaced and subjected to disease and malnutrition,” said Mandeep O’Brien, UNICEF’s Representative in Sudan, in a report issued Friday.According to the United Nations’ latest figures, the eight...

Germany marks 70th anniversary of uprising against Communist dictatorship in east

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:44:06 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s parliament on Friday commemorated the 70th anniversary of a popular uprising in the Communist east that was brutally crushed by its Soviet-backed dictatorship.Worsening economic conditions and political repression in East Germany had prompted months of protests, starting in rural areas, that culminated in a call on June 16, 1953, for a general strike.The following day more than half a million people took to the streets across East Germany, including the capital, Berlin. About 50 people were killed and thousands were arrested by Communist secret police with the help of Soviet troops. Dozens of Soviet soldiers who refused to shoot protesters were executed.The East German regime branded the uprising a “fascist putsch” instigated by the West, a claim for which there was no evidence.It was the first revolt against Soviet rule in eastern Europe. Others would follow in Hungary and what was then Czechoslovakia.“The uprising of June 17 was not only directed agai...
