Caimán mata a mujer, se queda junto a ella e interrumpe el rescate: revelan autopsia

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:25:07 GMT

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, Carolina del Sur — Una mujer de 69 años que murió el martes tras el encuentro con un caimán en Carolina del Sur se ahogó y experimentó un traumatismo por objeto contundente, según informes de noticias locales sobre la autopsia.El forense local identificó a Holly Jenkins como la mujer que, según el Departamento de Recursos Naturales de Carolina del Sur, estaba paseando a su perro cerca de una laguna del vecindario en Hilton Head Island cuando un caimán de 9.75 pies (3 metros) “se le apareció”.El departamento dijo que un informe de necropsia no mostró evidencia de que alguien hubiera alimentado al caimán, que fue sacrificado y retirado de la laguna. La oficina forense del condado de Beaufort le dijo a WTOC-11 que la mujer sufrió mordeduras de caimán, pero no está claro si ocurrieron antes o después de su muerte.

Biden deems Ukraine NATO membership ‘premature’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:25:07 GMT

President Joe Biden said this week that Ukraine is not yet ready to join NATO, calling the prospect of its membership in the international alliance “premature” amid its war with Russia.“I don’t think it’s ready for membership in NATO,” Biden said in an interview with CNN that aired Sunday. “I don’t think there is unanimity in NATO about whether or not to bring Ukraine into the NATO family now, at this moment, in the middle of a war.”Biden added that Ukraine still has work to do to meet all of the qualifications for membership, cautioning the process is “going to take a while.” But he reiterated his pledge to provide the country with security guarantees in the interim, stressing that the U.S. would ensure Ukraine has the weaponry it needs to defend itself against Russia.Biden’s vow came shortly after he agreed to send cluster munitions to Ukraine, overriding humanitarian concerns about the bombs by arguing that it was crucial to provide Kyiv with more artillery.

MONTREAL — Grievers are gathering in Montreal to protest the months-long standoff between workers and management at Canada’s largest cemetery.A strike by more than 100 maintenance and office workers has kept the Notre-Dames-des-Neiges Cemetery’s wrought-iron gates shut to the public since mid-January, with the exception of a few days in the spring.The labour dispute has left more than 300 bodies unburied, with the remains stored at freezing temperatures in an on-site repository.Enza Lucifero says her father died on Jan. 13, and her family has been unable to find closure since.She is calling on the Quebec government to resolve the impasse and says the situation is unacceptable and devoid of dignity for the dead.Labour Minister Jean Boulet says the parties will meet with him separately on Monday, weeks after a tentative deal fell through.This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 9, 2023.The Canadian Press

Stymied by the Supreme Court, Biden wants voters to have the final say on his agenda

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:25:07 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — After major blows to his agenda by the Supreme Court, President Joe Biden is intent on making sure voters will have the final say.When the court’s conservative majority effectively killed his plan to cancel or reduce federal student loan debts for millions of people, Biden said, “Republicans snatched away the hope that they were given.” When the justices ended race-based affirmative action in college admissions, he said, “This is not a normal court.” When they overturned Roe v. Wade and a national right to abortion last year, the president said, “Voters need to make their voices heard.”As Biden heads into the 2024 election, he is running not only against the Republicans who control one-half of Congress but also against the conservative bloc that dominates the nation’s highest court. It’s a subtle but significant shift in approach toward the Supreme Court, treating it more like a political entity even as Biden stops short of calling for an overhaul...
