(CNN Español) — Los meses de junio y julio acostumbran a ser una época del año cargado de eventos y conferencias de videojuegos en las que las compañías que desarrollan y publican videojuegos anuncian las novedades que tienen para los próximos meses y años. La feria del E3, celebrada en Los Ángeles, ha sido históricamente el gran evento al que acudían la mayoría de empresas y estudios y al que fans de todo el mundo prestaban atención.Sin embargo, la pandemia del covid-19 llevó a la cancelación de varias ediciones de la feria entre 2019 y 2022 y la del 2023 fue finalmente cancelada por los organizadores. Ya durante la pandemia, por la posibilidad de emitir en streaming sus propios anuncios, muchas empresas comenzaron a celebrar sus propios eventos o se agruparon en torno a diferentes celebraciones. Algo que se repetirá en este 2023, en el que hay alternativas al E3 como el Summer Game Fest, cada vez más potente, y otros eventos que históricamente han tenido lugar en estos meses...

BERLIN (AP) — The German soccer league will appoint two more men to take over as chief executive officers from the two men who took over from a woman last year.Marc Lenz and Steffen Merkel are to assume duties as co-CEOs on July 1, taking over from Axel Hellmann and Oliver Leki, the league, known as the DFL, said in a statement on Thursday.Hellmann and Leki took over on an interim basis from Donata Hopfen last December when she stepped down from the role as head of Germany’s top two soccer divisions after less than a year in charge.Hopfen became the DFL’s first female CEO when she took over from Christian Seifert on a three-year contract from January 2022, but she struggled to impose her vision to resolve longstanding questions on issues such as the league’s 50-plus-1 rule limiting the role of outside investors, marketing at home and abroad, and the sale of media rights.She suggested in a social media post she did not receive the support she needed from league members to make requir...

ANÁLISIS | Por qué Mike Pence ya tiene problemas en la carrera presidencial

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 20:45:04 GMT

(CNN) — La vicepresidencia puede ser un trampolín hacia la presidencia. Si no que se lo pregunten a Joe Biden, que descubrió que servir como número dos de Barack Obama era el billete para ganar la nominación de su partido a la presidencia después de dos intentos fallidos.El exvicepresidente Mike Pence, que participó este miércoles por la noche en un debate público en CNN tras declarar su candidatura para 2024, ya se encuentra con un camino a la Casa Blanca mucho más pedregoso que el de Biden. Apenas llega al 4% en las encuestas nacionales, mientras que Biden entró en la carrera de 2020 como favorito.Esto refleja la historia, que muestra que aunque ser vicepresidente a menudo se correlaciona con el éxito en futuras ambiciones presidenciales, está lejos de ser una garantía.Piense en los últimos vicepresidentes que intentaron ascender en sus cargos. Biden llegó a presidente, pero el republicano Dick Cheney nunca se presentó. El demócrata Al Gore se aseguró fácilmente el apoyo del...

Supreme Court rules in favor of Black voters in Alabama redistricting case

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 20:45:04 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Thursday issued a surprising 5-4 ruling in favor of Black voters in a congressional redistricting case, ordering the creation of a second district with a large Black population.Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined with the court’s liberals in affirming a lower-court ruling that found a likely violation of the Voting Rights Act in an Alabama congressional map with one majority Black seat out of seven congressional districts in a state where more than one in four residents is Black.The case had been closely watched for its potential to weaken the landmark voting rights law.The court had allowed the challenged map to be used for the 2022 elections and at arguments in October, the justices appeared willing to make it harder to use the voting rights law to challenge redistricting plans as racially discriminatory.The chief justice himself suggested last year that he was open to changes in the way courts weigh discrimina...

Secrecy around von der Leyen’s vaccine texts hurting EU reputation, say campaigners

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 20:45:04 GMT

It’s the story that just won’t go away.The European Commission’s refusal to engage openly about text messages that may have been exchanged between its president and the Pfizer CEO as part of EU vaccine contract negotiations came under fire from transparency activists Thursday, who said that the secrecy is “slowly chipping away at public trust.”Rachel Hanna, deputy director of NGO Access Info Europe, said the way the Commission had handled a request by Alexander Fanta, a journalist for German news site Netzpolitik, to access text messages allegedly exchanged between Ursula von der Leyen and Albert Bourla, goes against the EU’s own regulations, which aims to give citizens the widest possible access to documents.The refusal to share the text messages, said Hanna, “denies the public its fundamental right.”The Commission has never confirmed the existence of the messages, which were first disclosed in a New York Times interview with Ursula v...

China seeking to spy on the US from a base in Cuba

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 20:45:04 GMT

China is in talks with Cuba to establish a foothold there to spy on the United States, two senior U.S. officials said, a provocative move that already has lawmakers warning about parallels to the Cold War.The officials, granted anonymity to discuss an extremely sensitive intelligence matter, said that China was in direct conversations with Cuba to set up a base on the island nation just 100 miles from the U.S. It would allow Beijing to collect signals intelligence on southeastern portions of America, home to many military facilities and major industries. Evidence of the negotiations came to light in recent weeks, they said.Such a base would threaten to derail the Biden administration’s efforts to “thaw” out frosty relations with Beijing. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is reportedly planning to visit China in the coming weeks, a trip that was postponed already after the U.S. shot down a Chinese spy balloon traversing the U.S. Diplomacy with China continues mainly at the econo...
