(CNN) — Un robot está peinando el fondo del mar en busca de escombros de la implosión fatal del sumergible Titán mientras las autoridades de EE.UU. y Canadá desvían su atención de la búsqueda y el rescate a la investigación de lo que condujo al desastre marítimo y buscan establecer si se violó alguna ley.La Guardia Costera de EE.UU. convocó a una Junta de Investigación Marina para investigar la implosión, el “más alto nivel de investigación que lleva a cabo la Guardia Costera”, anunció este domingo el investigador jefe de la Guardia, el capitán Jason Neubauer.La junta trabajará para determinar la causa de la implosión catastrófica y las muertes, así como para hacer recomendaciones “para aplicar sanciones civiles o penales según sea necesario”, dijo Neubauer.Por ahora, los investigadores están dando prioridad a la recuperación de escombros del lecho marino. Los expertos militares encontraron restos del sumergible a unos 500 metros de la proa del Titanic el pasado ju...

By the time Tyron Barnes prepared to address Annandale High School’s band students and parents during an end-of-year banquet in the school cafeteria on June 1, the group had already learned that he had resigned as the school’s director of bands.In between awards that night, and with Principal Shawn DeRose in attendance, Barnes announced that he wouldn’t be returning to Annandale after two years there. It was an awkward address, some parents who attended said, because Barnes said he never intended to leave the school, and wanted to continue leading the band program. Some left confused about the reason behind Barnes’ resignation.Days before the banquet, DeRose sent an email directly to students on behalf of Barnes. It said in part that it was time to explore new opportunities.“I no longer believe that I am a great fit as your director of bands,” the message said.Barnes had intended to share the news during the banquet, but since the email went out, ...

Serbia frees Kosovo police officers but tensions persist

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 10:34:56 GMT

LUXEMBOURG — Three Kosovo police officers who were detained for almost two weeks in Serbia have been released, in a development that could help jump-start stalled talks between the two Western Balkan countries. “We confirm that the three kidnapped police officers have been released,” Kosovo’s Prime Minister Albin Kurti announced on Twitter.But in a sign that Pristina is demanding accountability for the actions he added: “This abduction consists of a serious human rights violation & must be reprimanded. The Serbian aggression must be held accountable.”The capture of the three police officers had been condemned by the United States, and marked the latest escalation between Pristina and Belgrade following controversial elections in the north of Kosovo in April. Earlier, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán claimed credit for brokering the deal with the Serbian president — a close ally of Budapest. “We highly appreciate the step of President Vučić which he took in a ...

But his attorney argued the former deputy for the Broward Sheriff’s Office did nothing wrong. Peterson, who retired as criticism of his alleged failure grew, did not enter the building because he could not tell where the gunshots were coming from due to echoes on campus, the defense argued.Peterson pleaded not guilty to 11 charges, incl...

Column: What we know about the Chicago Cubs and White Sox — and what we don’t — as midseason approaches

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 10:34:56 GMT

As the 2023 baseball season nears the midpoint, here’s what we know and don’t know about the Chicago Cubs and White Sox.Tim Anderson is too good a hitter to continue at his current pace. That’s what we keep saying anyway. Anderson, the 2019 American League batting champion, was hitting .358 on June 22, 2022, before going on the injured list with a groin injury. He since has suffered finger, knee and shoulder injuries and is hitting .244 with one home run and 11 RBIs in 93 games. Anderson’s last home run was on July 15, 2022, in Minnesota.Despite winning this weekend’s series against the Boston Red Sox, the White Sox have given no reason to believe they can be even a .500 team. Giving Anderson playing time at second base should increase his trade value. The Los Angeles Dodgers could be a good fit.NBC Sports Chicago’s Chuck Garfien and Ozzie Guillén might be the Sox’s toughest critics. Both criticized Anderson during Friday’s postga...
