ANÁLISIS | De Rusia a Medio Oriente: por qué China no puede permitirse otro gran conflicto

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:36:00 GMT

(CNN) — Una vez más, Beijing intenta hacer las dos cosas.Ha pasado más de un año moviéndose de puntillas ante la guerra de Rusia en Ucrania. La superpotencia asiática se ha negado a condenar la invasión y, en cambio, ha proporcionado a Moscú el apoyo diplomático y económico que tanto necesita.Ahora, mientras la guerra de Israel contra el grupo extremista palestino Hamas amenaza con convertirse en un conflicto más amplio que podría hacer añicos la estabilidad en Medio Oriente, China ha pedido un alto el fuego al tiempo que critica las acciones de Israel. Es evidente que tampoco ha condenado a Hamas por llevar a cabo lo que se ha llamado la peor masacre de judíos en un solo día desde el Holocausto, al tiempo que ha expresado su apoyo a una solución de dos Estados para Palestina e Israel.La postura está en consonancia con el apoyo de China durante décadas a la creación de un Estado palestino, pero también subraya las marcadas divisiones entre China y Estados Unidos, que ha respal...

¿Hamas usó armas norcoreanos en su ataque a Israel? Estas pruebas lo demostrarían

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:36:00 GMT

Los combatientes de Hamas probablemente emplearon armas norcoreanas en su ataque del 7 de octubre a Israel, según muestran un video de los milicianos y armas confiscadas por Israel, pese a las afirmaciones de Pyongyang de que no vende armas al grupo miliciano.El video fue analizado por dos expertos en armas norcoreanas. Junto con un análisis de Associated Press de las armas capturadas en el campo de batalla y la inteligencia militar surcoreana, el video indica que Hamas utilizó granadas propulsadas F-7, un arma que se dispara desde el hombro y que los combatientes suelen utilizar contra vehículos blindados.Las pruebas arrojan luz sobre el oscuro mundo de los cargamentos ilícitos de armas que Corea del Norte, un país bajo fuertes sanciones internacionales, utiliza para financiar sus programas armamentísticos. EEUU atribuye a grupo extremista palestino el mortal bombardeo a hospital de Gaza Israel y Hamas en guerra: ya son casi 5,000 muertos en...

Russia’s foreign minister proposed regular security talks with North Korea and China to deal with what he described as increasing U.S.-led regional military threats, as he met North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and his top diplomat on Thursday during a visit to Pyongyang.

Security Council resolutions that ban any weapons trading involving North Korea.On Thursday, Lavrov met Kim for talks that lasted about an hour, Russia’s state-run Tass news agency reported, without elaborating. Lavrov met his North Korean counterpart, Choe Son Hui, earlier Thursday and lauded deepening bi...

Why you shouldn't wait to fill up your tires

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:36:00 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — It's that time of year when low tire pressure lights start to turn on and warn motorists that cold temperatures are coming and it's time to winterize your vehicle.It's fundamental physics. Air molecules move slower as energy decreases with ambient temperatures, and as a result, the air pressure in tires significantly drops. Why do tires deflate in cold weather? It’s physics AAA Regional Director Skyler McKinley said motorists should not wait to fill up their tires for the season, as low tire pressure can become a safety hazard and affect drivability and even fuel efficiency."If that warning light comes on, that is your warning system saying, 'Hey, these tires are severely underinflated,'" McKinley said. "They really are sort of the last line of defense to get you to fill up your tires."Low air pressure is dangerousBecause those warning lights are a safety feature, McKinley said drivers should resolve the issue as soon as possible, ideally staying on top of it befor...

Warmer Weather Returns with Chance for Rain Tonight

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:36:00 GMT

Following several cool mornings and mild afternoons, the warming trend continues as winds veer more off the relatively warm ocean waters.This will drive highs back into the mid 80s today and eventually the upper 80s by this weekend. Then temperatures should dip back down to the mid 80s next week, holding steady near average.Lows will be more variable, however, warming into the low to mid 70s tonight, then back to the mid to upper 60s this weekend, which is below average.As far as weather conditions are concerned, South Florida will begin the day Thursday with sunshine but will end it with mostly cloudy skies. Rain chances will stay fairly low at a 10% chance.That rain chance rises tonight as an area of low pressure develops over the Bahamas along with a surge of moisture streaming in from the south. This will lead to the possibility for rain and thunderstorms tonight, especially across the Florida Keys and by the coast. That chance for rain could linger into the first couple hours o...
