Rusia dice que el acuerdo sobre cereales del Mar Negro con Ucrania “se ha terminado” (CNN) — El Gobierno ruso permite que expire el acuerdo sobre los cereales del Mar Negro, al afirmar este lunes que “se ha dado por terminado”.El acuerdo, negociado por Turquía y las Naciones Unidas en julio de 2022, expiraba oficialmente este lunes a las 17.00 horas ET (medianoche local en Estambul, Kyiv y Moscú). El acuerdo permitía a Ucrania exportar grano desde sus puertos y navegar de forma segura a través del mar Negro, hasta el estrecho del Bósforo, en Turquía.“Desgraciadamente, la parte de los acuerdos del Mar Negro que concierne a Rusia no se ha aplicado hasta ahora”, declaró este lunes a la prensa el portavoz del Kremlin, Dmitri Peskov. “Por lo tanto, su acuerdo se ha dado por terminado. En cuanto se complete la parte que concierne a Rusia, la parte rusa retomará inmediatamente la aplicación de este acuerdo”.Cómo funciona el acuerdo del Mar NegroEl Gobierno ruso informó formalmente a Turquía, Ucrania y las Naciones Unidas que deja e...

Estados Unidos da “luz verde” a los países europeos para entrenar a los ucranianos en aviones de combate F-16, dice un funcionario de Biden (CNN) — Estados Unidos permitirá que los países europeos entrenen a los ucranianos en aviones de combate F-16, confirmó este domingo un alto funcionario de la administración Biden, una bendición potencial para los esfuerzos de Ucrania para contrarrestar la superioridad aérea de Rusia.“El presidente ha dado luz verde y permitiremos, apoyaremos, facilitaremos y, de hecho, proporcionaremos las herramientas necesarias para que los ucranianos comiencen a ser entrenados en aviones tipo F-16, tan pronto como los europeos estén preparados”, le dijo el asesor de seguridad nacional de Estados Unidos, Jake Sullivan, a Jake Tapper de CNN en “State of the Union”.La decisión consolida un cambio radical para el presidente Joe Biden, quien dijo a principios de este año que no creía que Ucrania necesitara los F-16. Uno de los principales problemas a los que se han enfrentado las fuerzas terrestres de Kyiv a medida que se pone en marcha su contraofensiva es que el poder aéreo ruso la frena. Rus...

GOP and FBI are at odds as Republicans move to stop the agency’s new headquarters after Trump probes

GOP and FBI are at odds as Republicans move to stop the agency’s new headquarters after Trump probes WASHINGTON (AP) — When Speaker Kevin McCarthy suggested recently he might stop the FBI from relocating its downtown headquarters to a new facility planned for the Washington suburbs, it was more than idle thinking about an office renovation.The nod from the Republican speaker is elevating a once-fringe proposal to upend the FBI in the aftermath of the federal indictment of Donald Trump over classified documents and the Justice Department’s prosecution of his allies, including some of the nearly 1,000 people charged in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.Moving from far-right corners into the mainstream, the emerging effort to overhaul the nation’s premier law enforcement agency is rooted in increasingly forceful conservative complaints about an overly biased FBI that they claim is being weaponized against them. “This is a pretty dramatic reversal of what the politics would have been 50 years ago,” said Beverly Gage, a historian at Yale who won a 2023 Pulitzer Prize for her ...

Russia pulls out of Ukraine grain deal, in potential blow to global food supplies

Russia pulls out of Ukraine grain deal, in potential blow to global food supplies (CNN) — Russia said Monday it was suspending its participation in a crucial deal that allowed the export of Ukrainian grain, once again raising fears over global food supplies and scuppering a rare diplomatic breakthrough to emerge from Moscow’s war in Ukraine.The agreement, brokered by Turkey and the United Nations in July 2022, was officially set to expire at 5 p.m. ET on Monday (midnight local time in Istanbul, Kyiv, and Moscow).Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday that Russia would not renew the pact right now, saying it “has been terminated.”Russia has for some time complained that it is being prevented from adequately exporting its own foodstuffs, and Peskov cited that objection as the reason for pulling out of the deal. “As soon as the Russian part is completed, the Russian side will return to the implementation of this deal immediately,” he told reporters.Over the weekend, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the main objectiv...

Orioles reset: The Manny Machado trade started Baltimore’s rebuild 5 years ago. Here are 5 moves from it paying off now.

Orioles reset: The Manny Machado trade started Baltimore’s rebuild 5 years ago. Here are 5 moves from it paying off now. Five years ago Tuesday, the Orioles’ rebuild began.One could argue for earlier, when it was obvious from practically the jump that Baltimore’s 2018 season was going nowhere, or later, when general manager Mike Elias was hired to steward the process. But when the Orioles traded star infielder Manny Machado to the Los Angeles Dodgers on July 18, 2018, it marked the end of an era and the start of a project that was painful both in terms of the players it sent away and the on-field product it produced.It’s plausible that other approaches could have been taken, that Baltimore didn’t have to be one of the majors’ five worst teams with one of its five lowest payrolls year after year. Yet, the rebuild led to here — a young Orioles team that’s won eight straight around an All-Star break it entered with the franchise’s best first half in more than a quarter century.And it started when Baltimore sent Machado, in his final season before free agenc...
