(CNN) — El presidente de Belarús, Aleksandr Lukashenko, le dijo a Matthew Chance de CNN que el jefe del mercenario grupo Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, se encuentra actualmente en San Petersburgo, Rusia. Las declaraciones las hizo durante una rueda de prensa con medios de comunicación internacionales en Minsk.La última información que se sabía sobre Prigozhin se dio después de la fallida insurrección del grupo Wagner en junio, cuando Lukashenko dijo que el líder de grupo Wagner estaba en Belarús, días después de que la insurrección militar de 36 horas de los mercenarios planteó un desafío sin precedentes a la autoridad del liderazgo de Rusia.Surgen interrogantes sobre el general ruso Surovikin y Prigozhin, tras la breve insurrección de WagnerA Prigozhin no se le ha visto en ningún video o foto desde que abandonó el cuartel militar de Rostov-on-Don después de la fallida insurrección.Para ese entonces, las preguntas sobre el paradero de Prigozhin habían estado dando vueltas durante ...Aviones rusos acosan a drones estadounidenses sobre Siria

(CNN) — Tres aviones de combate rusos interceptaron a tres drones de la Fuerza Aérea estadounidense en el noreste de Siria este miércoles por la mañana hora local, según el comandante superior a cargo de las operaciones de la Fuerza Aérea en Oriente Medio.El teniente general de la Fuerza Aérea Alex Grynkewich describió la maniobra rusa contra los drones MQ-9 Reaper –que según los oficiales estaban monitoreando objetivos de ISIS en Siria– como “insegura y poco profesional”.El Mando Central de EEUU publicó un video del incidente, en el que se ve a los jets lanzando bengalas de paracaídas delante de los drones, aparentemente para bloquear su visión.“En contra de las normas y protocolos establecidos, los aviones rusos lanzaron múltiples bengalas de paracaídas delante de los drones, obligando a nuestros aviones a realizar maniobras evasivas”, dijo Grynkewich. “Además, un piloto ruso posicionó su aeronave frente a un MQ-9 y activó la postcombustión, red...Dodgers play the Pirates with 2-1 series lead

(CNN) — The man facing murder charges in the shootings of five people in a Philadelphia neighborhood earlier this week “obviously planned” the rampage, but the investigation into other factors of the case could take months as authorities dig for more details, a district attorney said.Authorities believe Kimbrady Carriker acted alone when he carried out the mass shooting Monday night, but investigators are still combing through his social media history as well as mental health concerns, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner told CNN on Wednesday.“I can certainly tell you that there are indications of mental health issues. There are indications of irrational behavior. There are indications of irrational statements and irrational acts,” Krasner told CNN.Krasner’s remarks come as new details emerged Wednesday about Carriker’s possible motive behind the mass shooting in Philadelphia’s Kingsessing neighborhood – where five victims were killed, the youngest of whom is a 15-year-old ...Maura Healey seeks national exposure, leaving crises at home to others

With the Sumner Tunnel closed and the MBTA in perpetual crisis, Gov. Maura Healey seems more interested in burnishing her national credentials than attending to problems at home.Healey, one of the first openly lesbian governors in the nation, spent a week in Ireland celebrating LGBTQ rights — positioning herself as one of the prominent leaders on that issue in the country.Even though she’s just in the first year of her term, Healey may already be getting tired of dealing with state issues like a late budget and legislative gridlock on tax relief.What could be in Healey’s future in the next few years is still unclear but running for a second term seems far, far away and less and less likely.Instead Healey could be waiting for a national appointment to the Biden administration or a U.S. Senate seat to open up.If Joe Biden doesn’t run again that would likely lead to U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren mounting another presidential campaign that could take her out of her Senate seat.

A new study suggests that depression after traumatic brain injury may not be the same as depression related to other causes, according to researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital.The study of 273 people found that brain circuits associated with depression were different between people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and those without TBI.“Our findings help explain how the physical trauma to specific brain circuits can lead to development of depression,” said study leader Shan Siddiqi, of the Brigham’s Department of Psychiatry and Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics.“If we’re right, it means that we should be treating depression after TBI like a distinct disease,” Siddiqi added. “Many clinicians have suspected that this is a clinically distinct disorder with a unique pattern of symptoms and unique treatment response, including poor response to conventional antidepressants — but until now, we didn’t have clear physiologica...Earth’s average temperature matches record high set a day earlier

Earth’s average temperature on Wednesday remained at an unofficial record high set the day before, the latest grim milestone in a week that has seen series of climate-change-driven extremes.The average global temperature was 17.18 Celsius (62.9 degrees Fahrenheit), according to the University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer, a tool that uses satellite data and computer simulations to measure the world’s condition. That matched a record set Tuesday, and came after a previous record of 17.01 Celsius (62.6 degrees Fahrenheit) was set Monday.While the figures are not an official government record, “this is showing us an indication of where we are right now,” said National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief scientist Sarah Kapnick. And NOAA indicated it will take the figures into consideration for its official record calculations.Scientists generally use much longer measurements — months, years, decades — to track the Earth’s warming, but the daily highs are an indication that cl...US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen visits China as part of efforts to sooth strained relations

BEIJING (AP) — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen arrived in Beijing on Thursday for meetings with Chinese leaders as part of efforts to revive relations that are strained by disputes about security, technology and other irritants.Yellen planned to focus on stabilizing the global economy and challenging Chinese support of Russia during its invasion of Ukraine, Treasury officials in Washington told reporters ahead of the trip.The secretary was due to meet with Chinese officials, American businesspeople and members of the public, according to Treasury officials. They gave no details, but said Yellen wouldn’t meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping.Yellen follows Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who met Xi last month in the highest-level U.S. visit to Beijing in five years. The two agreed to stabilize relations but failed to agree on improving communications between their militaries.Yellen earlier warned against economic decoupling, or disconnecting U.S. and Chinese industry and markets.

MINSK, Belarus (AP) — Russian mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin is in St. Petersburg and his Wagner troops have remained at the camps where they had stayed before a short-lived mutiny against Moscow, the president of Belarus said Thursday.Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko helped broker a deal for Prigozhin to end his rebellion on June 24 in exchange for amnesty and security guarantees for himself and his soldiers and permission to move to Belarus.However, few details of the agreement have emerged, and the whereabouts and futures of the Wagner company’s chief and his private army have remained unclear. The Kremlin has refused to comment on Prigozhin’s location or movements since the abortive revolt.After saying last week that Prigozhin was in Belarus, Lukashenko told international reporters Thursday that the mercenary leader was in St. Petersburg and Wagner’s troops still were at their camps.He did not specify the location of the camps, but Prigozhin’s merc...Latest news
