- Científicos afirman que una cantidad récord de sargazo llegó al Caribe y áreas cercanas en mayo(4 Jun 2025)Una cantidad récord de sargazo se acumuló en todo el Caribe y áreas cercanas en mayo, y se prevé que se acumule más este mes, según un nuevo informe.Las algas marrones y espinosas están sofocando las costas desde Puerto Rico hasta Guyana y más allá, interrumpiendo el turismo, matando la vida silvestre e incluso liberando gases tóxicos que obligaron a una escuela en la isla de Martinica, a cerrar temporalmente.En Puerto Rico, está afectando a los pescadores.SOUNDBITE (Spanish) JOSÉ RODRÍGUEZ, PESCADOR:Las 38 millones de toneladas métricas de algas es la mayor cantidad que se ha registrado en el mar Caribe, en el Atlántico occidental y oriental y en el Golfo de México desde que los científicos comenzaron a estudiar el Gran Cinturón de Sargazo del Atlántico en 2011, indicó un experto.Existen tres tipos diferentes de sargazo en el Caribe y áreas cercanas. Prosperan de diferentes maneras dependiendo de la luz solar, los nutrientes y la temperatura del agua, factores que los científicos están estudiando. Los expertos también han dicho que el escurrimiento agrícola, el calentamiento de las aguas y los cambios en el viento, las corrientes y la lluvia podrían tener un efecto.Cada año, la cantidad de sargazo se expande a finales de la primavera, alcanza su punto máximo alrededor del verano y comienza a disminuir a finales del otoño o principios del invierno.El nuevo récord establecido está lejos de ser estacionario: los expertos dijeron que esperan aún más sargazo para junio.===SOURCES===ASSOCIATED PRESSSTORYLINE:===========================================================Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.

- En el barrio marginal más grande de Kenia, la capoeira empodera a los residentes vulnerables(4 Jun 2025)ASSOCIATED PRESSKibera, Nairobi, Kenia - 11 de abril de 2025La capoeira, un arte marcial antaño proscrito por las autoridades brasileñas, se está popularizando en Kibera, uno de los barrios marginales más grandes de África, a las afueras de Nairobi, la capital de Kenia.Se trata de un arte marcial con raíces en Angola y el Congo, y llevado a Brasil por los africanos esclavizados. Mezcla danza, música, acrobacia y combate.ASSOCIATED PRESSKibera, Nairobi, Kenia - 10 de abril de 2025SOUNDBITE (inglés): Salim Rollins, fundador del Centro de Capoeira Angola en Kibera:“Fue una forma de Resistencia”, dijo este capoeirista. “Una forma de resistencia a la institución de la esclavitud y a la opresión que sufrieron estos diferentes grupos étnicos”.ASSOCIATED PRESSKibera, Nairobi, Kenia - 11 de abril de 2025Salim Rollins, conocido como Mestre Salim, fundó el Centro Capoeira Angola en esta zona de Nairobi, donde entrena a niños y adultos.Nasri Babu, de 25 años, empezó a aprender en 2019.ASSOCIATED PRESSKibera, Nairobi, Kenia - 10 de abril de 2025SOUNDBITE (inglés): Nasri Babu, capoeirista:“En la comunidad de donde vengo están pasando muchas cosas y la capoeira siempre ha jugado un papel importante”, dijo. “Ha sido como una terapia para mí”.SOUNDBITE (Ingles): Beckham Otieno, capoeirista:“Me ha ayudado con el autoconocimiento, la autodisciplina y con la autodefensa”, dijo este joven. “Cuando alguien me ataca, sé cómo utilizar los movimientos de la capoeira”.ASSOCIATED PRESSKibera, Nairobi, Kenia - 11 de abril de 2025En Brasil, las autoridades prohibieron la capoeira a finales del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX porque lo asociaban con la vagancia y las pandillas, pero en la década de 1930, se convirtió en una disciplina llamada Capoeira Regional, que enfatizaba la defensa personal. Eso contribuyo a que pudiera ser considerada legitima como un arte marcial.En 2014, la UNESCO declaró la capoeira Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad, reconociéndola como símbolo de resistencia, identidad, expresión cultural y unidad.ASSOCIATED PRESSKibera, Nairobi, Kenia - 10 de abril de 2025SOUNDBITE (inglés): Salim Rollins, fundador del Centro de Capoeira Angola en Kibera:"También hay un elemento ritual que es realmente importante dentro de la capoeira”, dijo Rollins. “Practicamos en círculo y cantamos canciones de llamada y respuesta.

El principal candidato conservador, Kim Moon Soo, tenía el 41,3%.Lee asumirá el cargo de presidente el miércoles para un único mandato completo de cinco años, sin el habitual periodo de transición de dos meses.===SOURCES===ASSOCIATED PRESSSTORYLINE:===========================================================Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.

Sacks with raw food being distributed for flood affected victimsSTORYLINE:The death toll from devastating flooding in a market town in Nigeria’s north-central state of Niger rose to at least 200 on Sunday, a local official said.Torrents of predawn rainfall early Thursday unleashed the devastating flood on Mokwa, nearly 380 kilometers (236 miles) west of Abuja and a major trading and transportation hub where northern Nigerian farmers sell beans, onions and other food to traders from the south.Fatima Kontagora, a 22-year-old mother of 6, lost 4 of her children and an additional 12 family members to the flood.“It was heartbreaking; I cried to the point where I got tired of crying. Crying will not bring them back,” she said.On Saturday, the spokesperson for the Niger State emergency service, Ibrahim Audu Husseini, said an additional 11 people were injured and more than 3,000 people were displaced.At least 500 households across three communities were affected by the sudden and intense flood that built rapidly in about five hours, leaving roofs barely visible and surviving residents waist-deep in water, trying to salvage what they could and rescue others.Husseini added that two roads were washed away and two bridges collapsed.Flooding is common during Nigeria’s wet season. Communities in northern Nigeria have been experiencing prolonged dry spells worsened by climate change and excessive rainfall that leads to severe flooding during the brief wet season. But this flood has been particularly deadly in Mokwa, a farming region near the banks of the River Niger.In September, torrential rains and a dam collapse in the northeastern city of Maiduguri caused severe flooding that left at leas...

I came here this morning and they kicked the door open. You could see this damage to the door right here, kicked it in, kicked it in and they left the back door open, the gate open, left the window open. And I asked the neighbor, you know, what happened? She said the police kicked it in. I said, okay. So I called the homeowner who hired me to do this job here, I called him, he's been trying to ask around, call the police to figure out what happened. So we're not sure if it was the police who actually kicked it down or it was somebody else. Nothing was obviously stolen, but from what I gathered Antoine Massey was next door at 1708 and 1710 at those apartments and, you know, LSP (Louisiana State Police) and NOPD (New Orleans Police Department) was here last night and they were looking for him. Unfortunately they didn't find him"++ENDS ON SOUNDBITE++STORYLINE:Authorities failed to recapture escaped New Orleans inmate Antoine Massey after a search on Tuesday, an Associated Press source says.Massey was not at the New Orleans home on the edge of the Fairgrounds and Gentilly neighborhoods, the official said, but authorities did locate clothing they believe to be his.Tariq Aldahir, an electrician, said he arrived this morning to find the door to property he was working -- next door to where Massey had reportedly stayed at -- had been kicked in and the backdoor, gate and windows were open."He could have been there the whole time, he could have been there just last night, I don't know," Aldahir said.

- Peruvian government says illegal mining in former Nazca Lines area need to comply with regulations(3 Jun 2025)RESTRICTION SUMMARYASSOCIATED PRESSARCHIVE: Nazca, Peru – 18 May 19951. Various from Nazca Lines seen from airplaneASSOCIATED PRESSLima, Peru – 3 June 20252. Jorge Montero, Minister of Energy and Mines of Peru3. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Jorge Montero, Minister of Energy and Mines of Peru:"The Nazca polygon was a very large area where a number of economic activities were restricted, including mining."4. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Jorge Montero, Minister of Energy and Mines of Peru:++ COVERED BY SHOT 5 ++"If within the boundaries of the offloaded sector, there are mining activities that were illegal when the reserve existed, then they would now need to comply with the regulations to be lawful, or otherwise be suspended."ASSOCIATED PRESSARCHIVE: Nazca, Peru – 18 May 19955. Various from Nazca LinesSTORYLINE:Peru's Ministry of Mines on Tuesday said that the government's decision to reduce the boundaries of the protected Nazca Lines park would allow mining activities within the law's mandates.The decision to reduce the reserve by 2,162 square miles (5,600 square kilometers) to almost half its original size, announced on May 30, had sparked alarm among conservationists, archaeologists, and environmental advocates.The critic's argument was partially confirmed when the Ministry of Culture, steward of the park, also said there is mining in the area.During Tuesday's briefing, Jorge Montero, Minister of Energy and Mines of Peru, said those with illegal mining projects in the now offloaded area "would now need to comply with the regulations to be lawful, or otherwise be suspended.""This is a new and unexpected situation for us that we have to address," Montero said.Critics consider this a rollback that paves the way for informal mining and weakens decades of cultural and ecological protection, while the government says the adjustment reflects updated scientific studies and does not compromise the UNESCO World Heritage status or the site's core protections.The area in question forms part of a UNESCO-recognized World Heritage Site, home to the Nazca Lines — massive geoglyphs etched into the desert thousands of years ago — and one of Peru's most fragile desert ecosystems.The Nazca Lines, located on the slopes of the Pacific coastal desert south of Lima, number more than 300 and include drawings of human figures, animals, plants and objects. Some are up to 270 metres long and were discovered in 1927.It is believed that these lines, observed from light aircraft by tourists, were constructed by the inhabitants of the pre-Inca culture known as the Nazca, who lived in the area from 500 BC.For decades, scholars have been unable to agree on the purpose of the geoglyphs. Some believe that the lines were related to astronomy and may have been a kind of calendar; others believe that the lines were related to water management, a very scarce resource in the area, where it almost never rains.AP Video by Cesar Barret...
