Enormes olas azotan la costa de California por tercer día consecutivo, provocando inundaciones y condiciones potencialmente letales

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:34 GMT

(CNN) — Olas gigantes e inundaciones costeras están haciendo estragos por tercer día consecutivo en muchas de las comunidades costeras de California, donde las condiciones extremas han obligado a realizar rescates acuáticos, han arrasado automóviles y han herido a un puñado de personas.El oleaje inusualmente grande, que a menudo supera los seis metros, ha provocado el cierre de playas a lo largo de la costa de California y ha provocado inundaciones dañinas en varias calles, hogares y negocios junto a la playa.En el condado de Ventura, muy afectado, las olas superaron los malecones y arrastraron automóviles estacionados por la calle, bloqueando el camino de los socorristas, dijo el capitán de bomberos Brian McGrath a TNLA, afiliada de CNN. La inundación en un hotel local también causó daños en todas sus habitaciones de la planta baja, dijo.Las aguas altas y las peligrosas corrientes de resaca han estado asediando gran parte de la costa oeste desde el sur de California hasta Ore...

Serbia election protests mount in Belgrade

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:34 GMT

BELGRADE, Serbia — Tens of thousands gathered in central Belgrade on Saturday in one of the largest protests since the Serbian election two weeks ago, united in their charges of vote fraud and in urging the EU to take serious note of unfolding events in the country.“I want to invite our friends from Europe to pay more attention to what’s happening here,” Srđan Cvijić, a member of the Belgrade Center for Security Policy who was an election monitor in the December 17 vote, told those gathered around the capital’s Terazije fountain Saturday.He decried the fact that Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, who often boasts of his close relationship to EU and Western officials, only promotes European values and “hangs up EU flags” when officials from Brussels and foreign dignitaries pay the country a visit.Vučić has for years skillfully navigated the tightrope between the West and Russia, often turning to the latter to bolster nationalist support.
