KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The death toll from a Russian missile attack that struck a popular restaurant in an eastern Ukrainian city has risen to eight, Ukrainian authorities said Wednesday.

Three children were among the dead. The shelling occurred right when people had returned from from work, Prosecutor General Andrii Kostin said. He said the three dead children were ages 14 and 17. Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said that rescuers continued to clear rubble from the site and search for more survivors.

New migrant tragedy at sea changes little as EU leaders forge ahead with tougher borders plans

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:06:53 GMT

BRUSSELS (AP) — As rescue efforts in the Mediterranean Sea flagged last week, and bodies were found more frequently than survivors from among the more than 500 people missing after an overcrowded fishing trawler sank, the European Commission’s president was asked for her thoughts.“It is horrible, what happened, and the more urgent is that we act,” Ursula von der Leyen told reporters at the headquarters of the European Union’s executive branch in Brussels.The priorities, she said, should be to help the authorities in Tunisia — where people bound for Europe sometimes leave from — to stabilize its economy and better manage migration, and to finalize the long-awaited reform of the EU’s asylum rules, which is unlikely to happen before next year.Never mind that the trawler left from Libya, or the admittedly slim chance that survivors might be found, or that the disaster might be the worst ever in the Mediterranean. Von der Leyen’s reply stood in stark contrast to the actions of a pr...

Rights to the works of Argentine literary giant Jorge Luis Borges granted to his widow’s nephews

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:06:53 GMT

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — A court has granted the rights to the works of the late Jorge Luis Borges, considered Argentina’s most internationally significant author of the 20th century, to five nephews of the author’s widow who died in March.Borges’ wife, Maria Kodama, had devoted much of her life to fiercely protecting his legacy and it surprise many in Argentina’s literary circle that she did not leave a will, even though she was battling breast cancer.The absence of a will had put the rights to his works into limbo. But on Tuesday a court in Buenos Aires ruled that the five nephews would receive the rights “in their capacity as universal heirs.”Borges died in 1986 at age 86 and left Kodama, a translator and writer whom he had married earlier that year, as his only heir. They never had children. She died March 26, also aged 86.Kodama’s longtime lawyer, Fernando Soto, said in April that Kodama’s nephews went to court to declare themselves her heirs after her death, seeking to g...

De visita a Baia, la ciudad italiana que descansa en el fondo del mar

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:06:53 GMT

POZZUOLI – El mar de Nápoles, en el sur de Italia, esconde en sus profundidades un tesoro arqueológico: los restos de la antigua Baia, hace dos milenios meta vacacional para los romanos más poderosos pero cuyas villas, termas y mosaicos acabaron bajo el agua por un lento e inexorable fenómeno volcánico. Hasta nuestros días.La historia de Baia recuerda a la mítica Atlántida, una urbe bella y fastuosa engullida por el mar, pero en este caso los restos de su gloria pretérita son bien visibles a cinco metros (16 pies) bajo las olas que bañan Pozzuoli, aunque para ello haya que vestirse de buzo.“Estas estructuras necesitan una atención constante. Hablamos del mayor yacimiento sumergido del mundo en un contexto delicado” por el mar y la actividad volcánica, explica el director del Parque de los Campos Flégreos, Fabio Pagano.LA “DOLCE VITA” DE BAIAAl final de la era republicana de Roma, en el siglo I a.C, Baia o Bayas era uno de los enclaves vacacionales predi...
