En Israel, “el lugar donde quieres que crezcan tus hijos” se convirtió de repente en frente de batalla

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 18:18:03 GMT

(CNN) — La gente de Be’eri a veces solía decir que la razón por la que el kibutz israelí estaba tan cerca de Gaza era porque, de lo contrario, sería demasiado perfecto.“Era una broma, algo que solíamos decir porque Be’eri es muy hermosa. Es el lugar donde quieres que crezcan tus hijos. La puesta de sol es hermosa, los campos son verdes, tiene todo lo que deseas de un lugar de vacaciones”, dijo Lotan Pinyan a CNN este miércoles.La proximidad de Be’eri a Gaza, que está a sólo unos pocos kilómetros de distancia, significa que la comunidad liberal ha sido un objetivo frecuente de los cohetes de Hamas disparados desde el enclave, generalmente interceptados por las defensas israelíes. Los cohetes eran el único inconveniente de este lugar, por lo demás idílico, dirían Pinyan y sus amigos. “Ya no es una broma”, dijo.Temprano el sábado por la mañana, militantes de Hamás irrumpieron en Be’eri y dejaron tras de sí una devastación de escala inimaginable...

‘Fucking zero’: Ryanair boss says flight bans have no chance of happening

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 18:18:03 GMT

Flight bans have “fucking zero” chance of success, Ryanair chief Michael O’Leary said Thursday.“What’s the likelihood of there being some success of banning flying? Fucking zero,” he told reporters at Airlines for Europe’s annual meeting of airline CEOs.“We’ve had all this bullshit here in Brussels for the last 10 years, whether it’s flight-shaming this, or some other thing that,” he said. France is so far the only country in Europe to introduce a ban on domestic short-haul flights when there’s a decent rail alternative (although in reality it affects very few journeys). But it’s an idea that’s gained traction with ministers in Austria, Belgium and Spain in recent years.But O’Leary reckons that customers in most parts of Europe won’t turn away from air travel, even if prices go up.“Europe is not going to put up with being told ‘you can’t fly.’ We get lectured by the Dutch, the Belgians, the French [and] you have to re-educate them on the geography of Eu...

Sign up here.BERLIN — Europe’s urban cycling revolution has a flat tire. Across the Continent, popular discontent with efforts to curb cars in cities has brought cycling into the culture wars, with politicians seizing on the issue to proclaim themselves on the side of working-class drivers. In Berlin, the newly elected conservative city government is going further. Since coming into power earlier this year, the governing coalition led by the center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party has rolled back a host of bike-friendly measures agreed by its left-leaning predecessor, suspending all bike infrastructure projects that “endanger” existing car lanes or parking spaces and putting an ambitious plan to add thousands of kilometers to the city’s cycling network on hold.The conservatives have also rolled back the ...

MBTA workers widened faulty Green Line tracks in early morning operations

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 18:18:03 GMT

The MBTA resumed running trains on the Green Line Extension at full speed on Tuesday following a string of overnight maintenance efforts that involved physically pushing the tracks apart to restore an appropriate width.MBTA officials announced Wednesday that about a mile’s worth of slow zones had been lifted across the Green Line Extension’s Union Square and Medford branches, just a bit more than two weeks after the sudden revelation that trains were limited to 3 mph because of rails that were too close together.At first, it was unclear what work the agency had performed to allow trains to resume full-speed travel, but an MBTA official told the News Service that crews spent several recent nights widening sections of the rails to address the narrowness problems.The official, who communicated only on background, likened the process to resetting a door hinge. Workers removed screw legs holding down rail tie plates, then repositioned those plates.They then placed a device in...
