LOS ÁNGELES —  Con el fin de apoyar a las mujeres y los hombres que salen de Venezuela, Ronny Méndez se integró a un grupo de jóvenes, encabezado por un estadounidense, que creó la herramienta en WhatsApp llamada ¡Vamos Chamo! que ofrece información y recursos de seis países que pueden ser posibles destinos para estos migrantes. Este inmigrante, de 30 años, reside en España. Él es parte también de la enorme diáspora venezolana que en los últimos años ha dejado su patria en busca de mejores oportunidades. “A mí me hubiese gustado tener esta herramienta”, dice Méndez, quien desde el 2021 vive en Barcelona y ahora colabora como investigador jurídico de esta plataforma. “El objetivo de nuestro proyecto es amortiguar la irregularidad migratoria de los venezolanos, esta herramienta es una vía rápida de integración social”. Esta es la presentación de la plataforma ¡Vamos Chamo! en el sitio web creado por la organización del mismo nombre en Bogotá, Colombia. (Los Angeles Times en Español / Raúl Roa) El lanzamiento oficial se hizo en julio de 2024 en Bogotá, la capital de Colombia. Es en esta ciudad en

Thousands of Jewish and Israeli-Americans gathered in prayer Monday, Oct. 7, one year after Hamas terrorists invaded Southern Israel, killing an estimated 1,200 people and taking hundreds more hostage.   The bloody invasion ultimately ignited the ongoing Israel-Gaza war, which has left upwards of 30,000 Palestinians civilians dead and leveled much of the coastal region.   Inside Saban Theater, various city and community leaders lit candles for the fallen soldiers, the victims of sexual assault and the thousands murdered in what was the deadliest terror attack in Jewish history.   One attendee, Miriam Bluman, a local schoolteacher, said she was asked by a student if she was sad that today was Oct. 7.   “And I’m like, ‘Yes, but I’ve been sad every day since last Oct. 7,’” she explained.   A solemn ceremony in L.A. marking the one year anniversary of the deadly Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel on Oct. 7, 2024.

By Olivia Gazis Updated on: October 8, 2024 / 12:24 AM EDT / CBS News Israel-Hamas war enters second year Israel-Hamas war enters second year as conflict expands 03:28 CIA Director William Burns warned Monday of the potential for simmering clashes in the Middle East to spread across the region even as, he said, the U.S. intelligence community had assessed the leaders of Iran and Israel are not looking for “all-out conflict.” “[W]e face the very real danger of a further regional escalation of conflict,” Burns said during a moderated question-and-answer session at the annual Cipher Brief threat conference in Sea Island, Georgia. He said Israel’s leadership was “weighing very carefully” how it would respond to Iran’s ballistic missile attack last week, but warned that “misjudgments” could still lead to an inadvertent escalatory spiral. “The Middle East is a place where complicated stuff happens all the time,” Burns said. A combination of robust intelligence-sharing between the U.S. and Israel, and “strong” integrated air defenses,  allowed for the defeat of the large-scale missile attack from Iran on Oct. 1, Burns said. The attack exposed some “limitations”

El alcalde de una capital del sur de México fue asesinado apenas una semana después de asumir el cargo, informaron las autoridades. Alejandro Arcos fue juramentado el lunes pasado como alcalde de Chilpancingo, una ciudad tan violenta que un grupo de narcotraficantes realizó una manifestación abierta, secuestró un vehículo blindado del gobierno y tomó como rehenes a policías en 2023 para lograr la liberación de sospechosos arrestados.

SAN DIEGO —  Playoff baseball is stressful enough without feeling like you’re letting your team and an entire fan base down with every empty at-bat, which is why Dodgers manager Dave Roberts pulled right fielder Mookie Betts aside for a little chat during Monday’s off-day workout in Petco Park. Betts struck out, grounded out and walked three times — two of them intentional — in Saturday night’s National League Division Series-opening 7-5 win over the San Diego Padres in Dodger Stadium, and he was hitless with a strikeout in four at-bats in Sunday night’s 10-2 Game 2 loss. The veteran right fielder who starred on both sides of the ball during the team’s run to the 2020 World Series title. is now three for 44 (.068) in his last 12 playoff games dating to Game 4 of the 2021 NL Championship Series, including an 0-for-11 collar in last season’s three-game NLDS sweep at the hands of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Roberts thought Betts, who turned 32 on Monday, had good at-bats in Game 1, but he could sense Betts gripping the bat a little tighter in Game

A South Pasadena man was convicted Monday of assault on a child causing death involving his newborn son, whom prosecutors contended was suffocated and died months later after being taken off life support. Jurors deadlocked 11-1 in favor of guilt on another charge — murder — against Christopher Richmond involving the death of his son, Cash, according to Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Hatami. Richmond, 31, was also convicted of domestic battery with injury, but acquitted of assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury — both involving the baby’s mother in April 2022 and August 2021, respectively. Richmond is facing 26 years to life in state prison, with sentencing set Dec. 13 in a Pasadena courtroom, according to Hatami. A decision is expected to be made after the sentencing on whether the prosecution will seek a retrial for Richmond on the murder charge, the prosecutor said. “After more than a three-year journey, there is finally some justice for 7-week-old baby Cash, his mom Candice, his grandma Kathy, his brother Anthony, and the entire Alhambra and Pasadena communities,” Hatami said after the jury’s
