Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:50:16 GMT

The family of a 29-year-old man arrested in the ambush-style killing of Los Angeles County sheriff’s Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer offered a troubling portrait of the suspect Monday, saying he was in the throes of mental health crises that included auditory hallucinations.Although Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna called Kevin Cataneo Salazar a “coward” for shooting the deputy while he was stopped at a redlight Saturday near the Palmdale sheriff’s station, Salazar’s family blamed his mental illness for his actions.“I want you to know that my son has schizophrenia and delusional perceptions and the police know this,” his mother, Marle Salazar, wearily told a throng of reporters in Spanish on Monday as they converged on her residence in the 37600 block of Barrinson Street. “They know my son is sick. And if they are going to judge him, then they need to judge him with the condition he has.”Marle Salazar said she wasn’t minimizing Clinkunbroomer’s slaying, but added that if her son is...

Walters: Compromise settles dispute over status of fast food franchises

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:50:16 GMT

In some ways, the most interesting — and perhaps most significant — event of the 2023 legislative session’s closing days was a compromise agreement on state oversight of the fast food industry.Last year, unions pushed through legislation that would have created a new state commission to set wages and working conditions in the industry.Inferentially, the legislation set aside the industry’s franchise system and treated locally outlets of as merely branches of their corporate franchisors.While the wage increases that would have resulted garnered most of the media attention, erosion of the franchise model was most worrisome aspect to the fast food corporations and their franchisees.Immediately, big guns in the industry pledged tens of millions of dollars for a campaign to challenge the legislation via a referendum that qualified to go before voters in 2024.The Legislature’s response was entertaining another bill that would have doubled down on attacking the franchise model by making co...

Llegan al país cinco estadounidenses liberados en un intercambio de prisioneros con Irán

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:50:16 GMT

El gobierno de Estados Unidos confirmó que este martes aterrizaron en el país los cinco estadounidenses que estuvieron detenidos en Irán y que fueron liberados como parte de un acuerdo de intercambio de prisioneros del gobierno de Joe Biden con ese país. Varios de los detenidos estuvieron más de 5 años detenidos en Irán. A pesar de su liberación, varios legisladores republicanos criticaron el acuerdo, diciendo que equivalía a un pago de “rescate” y que sólo alentaría a Irán a encarcelar a más extranjeros. Como primer paso en el intercambio de prisioneros, los cinco estadounidenses fueron puestos bajo arresto domiciliario el 10 de agosto y su liberación estaba condicionada a la transferencia de los $6,000 millones en ingresos petroleros congelados de Corea del Sur al banco central de Catar. El uso de los fondos liberados por parte de Irán será supervisado por Catar y restringido a la compra de alimentos, medicinas u otros artículos con fines humanitarios, según lo permitido por ...

India expulsa a un diplomático canadiense mientras se profundiza la disputa por el asesinato de un activista sij

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:50:16 GMT

(CNN) — La acusación de Canadá de que India podría haber estado involucrada en el asesinato de un activista sij en su territorio ha desencadenado una creciente disputa con Ottawa y Nueva Delhi, que expulsaron a altos diplomáticos, lo que hizo que las relaciones entre los dos países se hundieran.Las expulsiones diplomáticas de represalia se produjeron después de que el primer ministro Justin Trudeau dijera que Canadá estaba investigando “acusaciones creíbles” que vinculaban a India con el asesinato en junio del ciudadano canadiense y destacado líder sij Hardeep Singh Nijjar.“Durante las últimas semanas, las agencias de seguridad canadienses han estado persiguiendo activamente acusaciones creíbles de un vínculo potencial entre agentes del gobierno de la India y el asesinato del ciudadano canadiense Hardeep Singh Nijjar”, dijo Trudeau en el parlamento este lunes, añadiendo que su gobierno tomaría todas las medidas necesarias “para hacer que los perpetradores de este a...

Italy braces for Uruguay passion at the Rugby World Cup

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:50:16 GMT

Uruguay lost its opening game at the Rugby World Cup and received all of the plaudits.Los Teros were tipped to lose by 40-plus points to France last Thursday in Lille. But after 55 minutes they trailed only 13-12, then conceded a fluke try. France eventually prevailed 27-12 and was booed by its own supporters.Rugby-mad Uruguay President Luis Lacalle Pou was at the game with French President Emmanuel Macron after trade talks in Paris, and the former Old Boys player in Montevideo went into the Uruguay changing room to praise Los Teros, and take lots of photos.“Everything that is done in life, if it is not with passion, it does not work,” Lacalle Pou told the team. “And let people who don’t know us notice it.”The rugby world noticed. Uruguay humbled France, albeit a second-string side, but still. Los Teros earned 11 turnovers in their own 22 and stopped every French maul. That sterling work was undone by a vulnerable set-piece and 16 penalties.But the passion with which Uruguay t...

Sean Payton is growing frustrated with Russell Wilson but knows fixing the Broncos starts with him

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:50:16 GMT

DENVER (AP) — Jerry Rosburg isn't walking through that door to save the Denver Broncos head coach from himself like he did a year ago.When the Broncos jumped out to a 21-3 lead against Washington on Sunday, it seemed the safest of bets that coach Sean Payton would improve to 73-0, including playoffs, when his teams held a lead of 18 points or more.Russell Wilson's teams in Seattle had never blown that big of a lead.Denver's defense had sacked Sam Howell three times, rookie speedsters Marvin Mims Jr. and Jaleel McLaughlin had scored their first NFL touchdowns and second-year speedster Brandon Johnson had caught Wilson's third TD throw. Can the Broncos bounce back after 2 consecutive losses? When the Commanders went three-and-out on their next drive, Mims returned the punt 45 yards to the Washington 40-yard line with 7:57 left before halftime.The rout was on.After burning his final timeout with 6:46 left in the first half, however, Wilson coughed up the ball at midfield and the Comm...

Conservation groups have raised concerns about the project’s impact on the Pine Rocklands forest and the endangered Florida bonneted bat population in the area. On Sept. 6, concerned conservationalists voiced their opinions at a meeting where commisssioners defered the vote. “You’re throwing away Miami’s history for the fleeting joy of a water slide,” said one opposer.Another opposer said, “The surrounding land is host to both the largest fragment of pine r...
