La calidad del aire en EE.UU. y Canadá está mejorando pero el humo y los cielos alterados tardarán en despejarse

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 00:24:44 GMT

(CNN) — Se pronostica que las condiciones de calidad del aire en gran parte del este de EE.UU. mejoren lentamente este fin de semana después de que las columnas de aire nocivo de cientos de incendios forestales en Canadá viajaran hacia el sur. Sin embargo, las escuelas en algunas áreas metropolitanas funcionarán de manera remota este viernes, al tiempo que los funcionarios permanecen en guardia sobre la exposición a la contaminación.Si bien las condiciones más severas ya pasaron para la mayoría en las regiones del noreste y del Atlántico medio, se pronostica que los contaminantes del aire potencialmente dañinos sobre ciudades como Nueva York, Filadelfia y Washington persistan este viernes antes de que las áreas se despejen lentamente en los próximos varios días.“El humo de los incendios forestales canadienses continúa siendo transportado hacia el sur por los vientos hacia EE.UU., lo que resulta en una calidad del aire de moderada a insalubre en partes del noreste, el Atlántico...

Cowboys shuffling the Smiths as they face question of fielding 5 best linemen

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 00:24:44 GMT

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Tyron Smith finally spent some time late this offseason at left tackle, the position he played in all eight of his Pro Bowl seasons with the Dallas Cowboys.The subsequent shift of Tyler Smith to left guard put the 2022 first-round draft pick back where he was a year ago before he moved to the left side after Tyron Smith tore a hamstring and missed the first three months of the season. If the Cowboys are healthy on the offensive line and want to play their best five, it’s likely to mean putting off the long-term plan of Tyler Smith protecting Dak Prescott’s blind side, particularly when Terence Steele has recovered from a knee injury and is ready to play right tackle again.“Luckily, just having those reps last year, it’s nothing new,” Tyler Smith said. “I think it’s good for staying sharp and having the best five out there. That’s really the point of emphasis right now is making sure we have those best five.”Two spots are settled as the Cowboys pursue...

(CNN) — Two of the five New Haven, Connecticut, police officers involved in the June 2022 arrest of Randy Cox, who was left paralyzed from the chest down in a police van, have been fired, officials said.Four members of the New Haven Board of Police Commissioners on Wednesday voted in favor of dismissing officers Jocelyn Lavandier and Luis Rivera over the transportation incident, Mayor Justin Elicker said.Police Chief Karl Jacobson recommended the terminations of all five officers in March.The commissioners found that Lavandier and Rivera violated the “General Orders of the New Haven Police Department,” according to Elicker.Lavandier’s lawyer called the move “an absolute rush to judgment” in a statement to CNN.“At a minimum, the City should have waited for the judicial process to play out before terminating Officer Lavandier,” attorney Daniel Ford said.CNN has reached out to Rivera for comment.In November 2022, both officers, along with officers Ronald Pressley, Oscar Diaz and Sgt.

Ukraine counteroffensive ramps up, but meets stiff Russian resistance

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 00:24:44 GMT

Ukrainian mechanized brigades are redoubling their assaults around Bakhmut in the Donetsk region and neighboring Zaporizhzhia, but appear to be facing forceful Russian resistance with both sides claiming to have inflicted heavy losses in the past five days.As their counteroffensive ramps up, the Ukrainians say they’ve made advances of up to 1,600 meters around Bakhmut, the salt-mining town that Russian forces only recently overran after months of vicious close-combat warfare. And Russian military bloggers with close ties to the country’s defense ministry have acknowledged the Ukrainians have had some success there. Yevgeny Prigozhin, the boss of the Wagner paramilitary group, bemoaned earlier this week a fallback of Russian troops in Bakhmut, dubbing it a “disgrace.”But in Zaporizhzhia, the picture appears much more mixed. “Ukrainian forces conducted a limited, but still significant attack in the western Zaporizhzhia region on the night of June 7 to 8,” the Institute for the Study o...
