ANÁLISIS | Líderes mundiales se reúnen esta semana en la ONU. Esto es lo que hay que ver

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:30:22 GMT

(CNN) — Después de miles de discursos, reuniones y recepciones la próxima semana en la Asamblea General de Naciones Unidas, (UNGA), las ONU está preparada para anunciar la Paz Mundial al final del evento global… OK, no.Ojalá. La verdad es que los temas de la cumbre de dos semanas parecen más numerosos, volátiles y difíciles de resolver que en cualquier otra Asamblea General de la ONU: la guerra de Rusia en Ucrania, las letales inundaciones en Libia, los múltiples golpes de Estado en África, la financiación económica Norte-Sur, la violenta crisis en Haití y el cambio climático, por nombrar algunos.El hecho de que el presidente de Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, sea el único líder de los cinco miembros permanentes del Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU que asistirá al evento puede debilitar el impacto del mismo. El presidente de Francia, Emmanuel Macron, se queda en casa dispuesto a saludar al rey Carlos III del Reino Unido y a trabajar en situaciones de deterioro desde Níger hasta...

Japan Airlines wants to help you leave your suitcase at home

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:30:22 GMT

(CNN) — Unsure what to pack from your wardrobe for a vacation to Japan? If you’re flying with Japan Airlines, the answer could be nothing at all.Japan’s flag carrier has started a year-long trial of a service that allows travelers to book a set of clothes — covering different sartorial styles and seasons — and receive it at their hotel upon arrival. At the end of the stay the clothes are returned, to be washed and cycled back into the system.Called Any Wear, Anywhere, the service runs through the end of August 2024 and Japan Airlines says it could cut carbon emissions by reducing the weight carried by its airplanes.Any Wear, Anywhere estimates that about 22 pounds (10 kilograms) saved in luggage equals about 16.5 pounds (7.5 kilograms) saved in emissions — the equivalent of running a hair dryer 10 minutes a day for 78 days.“I love traveling and I’ve been to many foreign countries, but I’ve always dreaded dragging around luggage or doing laundry abroad,” says Miho Moriya, who came up...

Pro-EU politicians planning coup, Georgia alleges

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:30:22 GMT

Georgia’s national security agency claims it has discovered a Ukrainian-backed plot to overthrow the country’s increasingly pro-Russian government, just weeks before a highly anticipated verdict on its long-standing application to join the EU.In a briefing on Monday, Bacha Mgeladze, deputy director of the counterterrorism unit of Georgia’s State Security Service, alleged that “conspirators are preparing to overthrow the state” on the basis that Brussels will issue a negative opinion on its membership bid as part of the bloc’s enlargement plans in October.While Mgeladze provided no evidence to support the explosive assertions, he named a number of senior opposition politicians tied to jailed former President Mikheil Saakashvili who he claimed were behind the plot, as well as Kyiv’s “deputy head of military intelligence.” According to Mgeladze, volunteers from the Georgian Legion currently fighting against Russia in Ukraine would h...

KYIV — Ukraine’s counteroffensive may be progressing slowly, but the military is reclaiming more territory every single day, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an interview with CBS’s “60 minutes.”“The situation is tough. We stopped the Russians in the east and started a counteroffensive. Yes, it is not that fast but we are going forward every day and de-occupying our land,” Zelenskyy said. “Everyone wants to win now and doesn’t even want to wait until tomorrow. But even a year ago, some people doubted whether we would be able to go on the offensive. The question was whether we would survive as a whole or not. Today we have the initiative.”He added that even though Ukrainian forces are often outnumbered by Russian troops on the eastern front and face heavily mined Russian fortifications on the southern front, they won’t stop their forward march because Moscow uses every pause in the war to rebuild its strength.According to Zelenskyy, time is Ukraine’s main weapon, as Kyiv’s...
