CIUDAD DE PANAMÁ – Los países que “permiten” a los migrantes, especialmente los menores, exponerse a los peligros que implica cruzar la selva del Darién, la frontera natural entre Panamá y Colombia, son “cómplices” de esas situaciones inhumanas, dijo este viernes la directora de Migración de Panamá, Samira Gozaine.“Hay relatos de gente que dice que las madres ponen los niños para que se ahoguen en el río porque pesa cargarlos, cuando (…) las colinas se vuelven muy tupidas y no pueden seguir, simplemente los abandonan a su suerte. Todos los Estados que permitimos que esto pase somos cómplices de esa realidad”, declaró Gozaine.Los migrantes que atraviesan el Darién, uno de los pasos migratorios más peligrosos del mundo, se enfrentan a los riesgos naturales propios de una selva pero, además, muchos denuncian ser víctimas de violaciones, extorsiones y robos.Esa selva que limita a Panamá y Colombia es usada desde hace años por migrantes pro...Arrestan y acusan a la madre de “Baby India”, la bebé encontrada en una bolsa de plástico en un bosque hace casi cuatro años

CINCINNATI (AP) — Aaron Judge has been scorching hot since a mild hip strain sent him to the injured list earlier this month.The reigning AL MVP hit his seventh home run in as many games and the New York Yankees defeated the Cincinnati Reds 6-2 on Friday night.“When you’ve got Anthony Rizzo hitting behind you, who’s been red hot as well, you’re going to get good pitches to hit,” Judge said.Rizzo also homered for the surging Yankees, who improved to 9-3 in their last 12 games.Judge, who received a standing ovation from the many Yankees fans in attendance following his pregame batting session, wasted little time making his presence felt in the teams’ first meeting in Cincinnati since 2017. Judge took the fifth pitch he saw from Reds starter Ben Lively 431 feet to center field for his 13th home run of the season.“It’s just very reminiscent of what we saw last year,” Yankees starting pitcher Clarke Schmidt said of Judge. “You see the same guy.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Jim Brown was both extraordinary and extraordinarily complicated.One man. Many versions.His greatness on the football field is beyond reproach. For generations, Brown, who died Thursday night peacefully at his home in Los Angeles, has long been the standard of excellence for running backs, a freakish blend of brute power and blazing speed who in many ways changed the NFL forever.Cleveland’s No. 32 is in a class by himself.“He’s (No.) 1,” said Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith, the league’s career rushing leader. ”(Walter) Payton, two. I fall three.”But there is so much more than broken tackles and shattered records to Brown, who walked away from the game at his physical peak to pursue a film career, helping break barriers in Hollywood for Black actors.There’s the social activist and civil rights champion who used his platform to promote change during one of the most turbulent decades in U.S. history.And there’s a much less flattering personal ...Connecticut hosts Washington to begin season
