El Conejo Malo se fue del Watsco Center de la ciudad de Miami (EE.UU.) con siete Latin Billboards, la mayoría por su éxito “Tití Me Preguntó”.

Medios piden permiso a la Justicia para transmitir el próximo año el juicio federal a Trump por subversión electoral

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 02:46:17 GMT

Washington (CNN) —  Un grupo de grandes medios de comunicación pidió este jueves a la jueza que supervisa el caso federal de subversión electoral de Donald Trump permiso para transmitir su juicio, argumentando que la naturaleza histórica del caso justifica una excepción a una estricta norma que prohíbe las cámaras en las salas de los tribunales.CNN y más de una docena de medios de comunicación y grupos pidieron a la jueza de distrito Tanya Chutkan permiso para “grabar y transmitir” el juicio de marzo de 2024 o para que el tribunal “publique en YouTube sus livestreams audiovisuales administrados internamente y las grabaciones de los procedimientos”.En caso de que Chutkan rechace esas dos solicitudes, la coalición de medios de comunicación le pide que “publique grabaciones visuales y de audio de los procedimientos al final de cada día en que este asunto se vea en el Tribunal”.Trump pide a la jueza Tanya Chutkan que se aparte del caso federal s...

LONDON — The Scottish Labour Party won a crushing victory over the Scottish National Party in a key by-election Friday morning, as the party eyes a wider revival at the next general election.Labour candidate Michael Shanks won 58.5 percent of the vote in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West contest, vastly outstripping the SNP’s 27.5 percent in a 20.4 percent swing since the last election.

Labour were once-dominant in Scotland but have struggled under a succession of leaders to reverse SNP gains in their heartlands. Under current leader Anas Sar...

Missing San Diego Humane Society pets causes leadership shakeup in Arizona

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 02:46:17 GMT

SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego Humane Society is struggling to find out what happened to the 318 small animals they delivered to the Humane Society of Southern Arizona. Now, independent investigators have followed the route of the small creatures to a dead end to a Maricopa reptile shop.  “Our leading theory and most people’s leading theory is that these animals ended up as food for reptiles. The very fact that they were sent through an online reptile store called the 'Fertile Turtle' can lead nobody to any other conclusion, we hope it’s not the case, but it’s impossible to think otherwise,” said Gary Weitzman, the president of the San Diego Humane Society.   The Humane Society of Southern Arizona initially offered to help find homes for the 318 rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and rats, delighting the San Diego Humane Society. The animals were shipped out and the trail went cold and messages stopped. Raves popping up beneath San Diego freeways are ‘extremely dangerous’: CHP Now, the b...

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — A former High Court chief justice and dozens of legal academics on Friday rebutted key arguments used in the public campaign against Australians creating an advocacy body for the Indigenous population.Robert French, who retired as Australia’s most senior judge in 2017, used a speech to the National Press Club to urge Australians to vote to enshrine in the constitution a so-called Indigenous Voice to Parliament at an Oct. 14 vote, the nation’s first referendum in a generation. The Voice is aimed at giving Australia’s most disadvantaged ethnic minority more say on government policies that effect their lives.“A vote in favor of the Voice is a new beginning and something in which this generation and generations to come should be able to take justifiable pride,” French said.Separately, 71 Australian university teachers of constitution law and other fields of public law signed an open letter published Friday that rebutted the argument that the Voice would be “ri...

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 02:46:17 GMT

NEW DELHI (AP) — A flood that burst through a major hydroelectric dam in India’s Himalayan northeast killed at least 31 people, officials said Friday, as ice-cold water swept through mountain towns, washing away houses and bridges and forcing thousands of people to leave their homes.The flood began shortly after midnight Wednesday, when a glacial lake high in the mountains overflowed after a heavy rainfall. The waters cracked open a 6-year-old dam that was the largest in the Indian state of Sikkim, and then cascaded through towns in the Lachan Valley below.It was the latest deadly flood to hit northeast India in a year of unusually heavy monsoon rains. Nearly 50 people died in flash floods and landslides in August in nearby Himachal Pradesh state, record rains in July killed more than 100 people over two weeks in northern India.A report compiled by the Sikkim State Disaster Management Authority in 2019 had identified Lhonak Lake as “highly vulnerable” to flooding that could ca...
