(CNN Español) — “Lo han venido soñando desde hace siglos, autoridades, reyes, políticos, gobernantes. Desde que se llevó a cabo la invasión española, Carlos V le pidió a Hernán Cortés que buscara un paso que uniera a los dos océanos”.Esto es lo que dijo el presidente de México, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, sobre uno de los planes prioritarios de su Gobierno: crear en el corredor interoceánico del Istmo de Tehuantepec una plataforma logística para interconectar, a través de 1.200 kilómetros de vías férreas, en conjunto con el sistema carretero nacional, los puertos de Salina Cruz (Oaxaca), Coatzacoalcos (Veracruz), Puerto Chiapas (Chiapas) y Dos Bocas (Tabasco), facilitando con ello, el comercio regional y mundial, con acceso a Estados Unidos, Centro y Sudamérica, señaló.Un proyecto con el cual México, según López Obrador, no busca competir con Panamá y su canal, sino que tiene en cuenta que esa vía interoceánica en la nación centroamericana “ya está saturada”.Uno de los puntos...

Tampa woman pushes through tough times after doctors find tumor on spinal cord

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:12:46 GMT

A car crash isn’t the type of thing you’d expect to be a blessing in disguise. A Tampa Bay cancer survivor said her visit to the doctor for back pain stemming from an accident ended up saving her life. Britta Devitt said it all started with a trip to the doctor’s office.“I was having back pain, so I went to go see a doctor, and they were doing some treatment,” she said. “They did an X-ray, and things look OK.”But Devitt was still having neck pains, so her doctors told her to get an MRI.It was during the MRI that Devitt was told she had a tumor on her spinal cord. Devitt was placed under the microscope for hours, as doctors worked to fully remove the tumor. But one thing was on Devitt’s head. As an avid dancer and a runner, she had been training for an upcoming marathon before this, and she knew her journey was far from over.“I asked my neurosurgeon, ‘Hey, I have a marathon coming up in November.’ I remember he took a...

We are once again at war in the Middle East

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:12:46 GMT

Jamie Dettmer is opinion editor at POLITICO Europe.It was February 1991, and the crew of the British frigate HMS Gloucester was scrambling, trying to knock out an Iraqi Silkworm missile heading toward the USS Missouri — a World War II-era battleship recommissioned by former United States President Ronald Reagan.The extreme jolt from the firing of a salvo of Sea Dart missiles was alarming. And by the time I scurried sleepy-eyed to the deck, I’d missed the first successful engagement of a missile by another missile during naval warfare.Today, 32 years later, such interceptions are now a dime a dozen in the Red Sea. And whether the West wants to admit it or not, thanks to the Hamas attacks on southern Israel and Iran’s response to Israel’s self-defense, it is at war in the Middle East once again.We should all breathe a sigh of relief that missile interceptions have so far prevented the sinking of a Western warship or merchant vessel — something that would accelerate the out-of-sight co...

The first nail-biter election of 2024: Taiwan

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:12:46 GMT

TAIPEI — 2024 will be a bumper year of elections around the world, but one of the first votes on the calendar will also be one of the most hotly contested and consequential: Taiwan, where there are vital strategic interests at play for both the U.S. and China on January 13. If the campaign started with expectations in the U.S. that the ruling, pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), whose top brass are frequent and welcome guests in Washington, would stroll to victory, the final stages of the presidential and legislative race have turned into a nail-biter. Chinese President’s Xi Jinping’s Communist Party leadership, increasingly assertive in its claim that democratic Taiwan is part of China and keen to see the ruling party in Taipei ousted, is trying to swing the election through a disinformation campaign of hoaxes and outlandish claims on social media. And the tactics may be working. The latest polls for the first-past-the-post presidential race on the My Formosa ...
