Guaidó dice a CNN que no le teme a la orden de arresto en Venezuela: Es una “herramienta” de manipulación de Maduro

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:03:51 GMT

(CNN) — El líder opositor venezolano Juan Guaidó le dijo a CNN este viernes que no teme que lo deporten a su país de origen, luego de que el Gobierno de Maduro anunciara una orden de arresto en su contra.Este jueves, el fiscal general de Venezuela, Tarek William Saab, emitió una orden de aprehensión contra Guaidó, y dijo que también solicitaría una alerta roja a la Interpol para deportar al opositor a su país.El anuncio del fiscal ocurrió pocas horas después de que el Gobierno de Biden revelara que comenzaría a deportar a Venezuela a los migrantes de ese país que ingresaron de manera ilegal a Estados Unidos, lo que representa un cambio significativo de política.Hasta ahora, EE.UU. consideraba que Venezuela era “insegura” para los migrantes que retornaban debido a la situación política, pero esa postura se revirtió a medida que más migrantes —muchos de ellos venezolanos— han cruzado a Estados Unidos en cantidades récord este año.En una entrevista en cámara, Guaidó l...

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia soon will become the first state in the nation to offer medical marijuana products at independent pharmacies, state officials said.The Georgia Board of Pharmacy began accepting applications this week, and nearly 120 pharmacies have agreed to provide medication from Botanical Sciences, one of the state’s two licensed production companies, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Max Verstappen qualifies on pole for the Qatar Grand Prix. He can win the title in Saturday’s sprint

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:03:51 GMT

LOSAIL, Qatar (AP) — Max Verstappen underlined why he’s on the verge of a third consecutive Formula One title as he qualified on pole for the Qatar Grand Prix on Friday. He can clinch the title in Saturday’s sprint race.Verstappen set a commanding time early in the third and last session of qualifying and bailed out of his final run after his car slid off the racing line. It didn’t matter as George Russell could only manage a time .441 seconds slower than Verstappen as he qualified second. His Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton was third, .527 off the pace.Verstappen can secure the title with at least a sixth-place finish in the sprint Saturday. That contest will have its own separate “shootout” qualifying session earlier the same day. If it doesn’t work out Saturday for the Dutch driver, pole position is the best possible insurance policy for Sunday.“It doesn’t really change anything. I just want to have a good weekend,” Verstappen said. “And of course, I know...

LYON, France (AP) — New Zealand is sweating on the fitness of starting tighthead prop Tyrel Lomax for the Rugby World Cup quarterfinals after he suffered another leg injury.Lomax strained the medial ligament in his right knee against Uruguay on Thursday in Lyon.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Receiver Cooper Kupp is expected to make his season debut for the Los Angeles Rams against Philadelphia on Sunday.Coach Sean McVay said Friday that Kupp will be activated from injured reserve and will play at SoFi Stadium “unless something different happens in the next 48 hours.”Kupp returned to practice this week with the Rams (2-2) after missing the first month of the regular season with a hamstring injury. The Super Bowl 56 MVP was hurt early in training camp, and he aggravated the injury in late August.“He’s looked like Cooper, which is a good thing,” McVay said. “He’s put a lot of work in. You can’t really ever simulate the game in these practice settings, but he’s very comfortable. He’s so conscientious. He looks like he’s moving around really well. Just having his presence out there is definitely a boost.”Kupp hasn’t played since Week 10 in mid-November 2022. He missed the final eight games of last season ...
