Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:11:37 GMT

(CNN) — El presidente Joe Biden comparó al presidente de China, Xi Jinping, con “dictadores” durante una recaudación de fondos políticos en California este martes por la noche, y pronunció los comentarios improvisados aproximadamente un día después de que el secretario de Estado de Estados Unidos, Antony Blinken, dijera que su reciente viaje había producido “progresos” en la reparación de la fracturada relación entre Washington y Beijing.“La razón por la que Xi Jinping se molestó mucho cuando derribé ese globo con dos furgones llenos de equipo de espionaje es que no sabía que estaba allí. No, en serio. Eso es lo que es una gran vergüenza para los dictadores, cuando no sabían lo que pasó”, dijo Biden a los asistentes a la recaudación de fondos en el Área de la Bahía, refiriéndose al globo espía chino que Estados Unidos derribó a principios de este año.Los comentarios aparentemente fuera del mensaje del presidente se producen en un momento particularmente tenso en las relaciones...

(CNN) — As summer approaches and tourism season begins, social media users will struggle to answer the age-old question: If you didn’t post about your vacation, did you really even go?The answer is, of course: Yes you did, and you probably had a better time for not plastering it all over Instagram.Though it may be difficult for some to resist work emails and updating social media during vacation, the island of Ulko-Tammio in Finland is urging visitors to ignore their screens and enjoy nature.Claiming to be the world’s first phone-free tourist island, Ulko-Tammio is located in the Eastern Gulf of Finland, a national park in the Nordic nation that’s been named “world’s happiest country” six years in a row and, somewhat ironically, is home to Nokia, the brand behind the world’s best-selling smartphone of all time.“The island of Ulko-Tammio, which is located off the coast of Hamina, will be a phone-free area this summer,” Mats Selin, an expert in island tourism at Visit Kotka-Hamin...

New York (CNN) — A restaurant in California has been ordered to pay $140,000 in back wages and damages to employees after it hired a priest to extract workers’ confessions, in what federal investigators are calling “the most shameless” acts of corruption an employer has taken against its staff.The US Department of Labor said an employee testified that owner Che Garibaldi, who operates two locations of Taqueria Garibaldi in northern California, hired a fake priest to hear confessions during work hours and “get the sins out,” including asking them if they had been late for work, stolen money from the restaurant or had “bad intentions” toward their employer.“Under oath, an employee of Taqueria Garibaldi explained how the restaurant offered a supposed priest to hear their workplace ‘sins’ while other employees reported that a manager falsely claimed that immigration issues would be raised by the department’s investigation,” said Regional Solicitor of Labor Marc Pilotin in the release.Th...

Zelenskyy: Ukraine’s counteroffensive progress ‘slower than desired’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:11:37 GMT

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy admitted Wednesday that the progress of Kyiv’s counteroffensive to recapture Russian-occupied territory has been “slower than desired.” In an interview with the BBC, Zelenskyy said, “Some people believe this is a Hollywood movie and expect results now. It’s not.”“What’s at stake is people’s lives” he added. Ukraine in recent weeks has ramped up efforts to reclaim its territory but, while Kyiv says it has liberated eight villages in the country’s south and east, progress has been slow against heavily fortified Russian lines. But Zelenskyy was defiant. “Whatever some might want, including attempts to pressure us, with all due respect, we will advance on the battlefield the way we deem best,” he said in the interview. Last fall, Ukraine recaptured swathes of occupied territory with a lightning-quick counteroffensive in the Kharkiv region. Zelenskyy also hit b...
