OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander believes the Oklahoma City Thunder have made a statement with the way they’ve handled the Golden State Warriors this season.Gilgeous-Alexander scored 38 points, and the Thunder defeated the Warriors 138-136 in overtime on Friday night.Jalen Williams scored 28 points and Chet Holmgren added 21 for the Thunder, who beat the Warriors for the third straight time in the last of four matchups between the teams this season. Despite the Warriors’ 10-12 record, Gilgeous-Alexander said the win felt important. He still sees the same Warriors that won NBA titles in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022. They remain an important measuring stick for a young Thunder team that sits in second place in the Western Conference standings.“We’ve got a bunch of competitors on the team, guys that don’t back down, guys that want to be great at the end of the day,” Gilgeous-Alexander said. “And we all know that to be great, you got to test yourself aga...Las relaciones entre Israel y la ONU alcanzan un mínimo histórico luego de que Guterres invocara una medida diplomática poco habitual

RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli warplanes struck parts of the Gaza Strip overnight into Saturday in relentless bombardments, including some of the dwindling slivers of land Palestinians had been told to evacuate to in the territory’s south.The latest strikes came a day after the United States vetoed a United Nations resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza, despite it being backed by the vast majority of Security Council members and many other nations. The vote in the 15-member council was 13-1, with the United Kingdom abstaining.“Attacks from air, land and sea are intense, continuous and widespread,” U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said before the vote. Gaza residents “are being told to move like human pinballs – ricocheting between ever-smaller slivers of the south, without any of the basics for survival.”Guterres told the council that Gaza was at “a breaking point” with the humanitarian support system at risk of total collapse, and that he feared...A fire in a hospital near Rome kills at least 4 and forces the evacuation of facility and patients

ROME (AP) — A fire broke out in a hospital on Rome’s outskirts, killing at least four people and forcing the evacuation of the facility and its patients, officials said Saturday.Patients in intensive care at St. John the Evangelist hospital in Tivoli were transferred immediately to other hospitals via ambulance, the Tivoli mayor’s office said in a statement. Less-critical patients were moved into a nearby municipal gymnasium pending transfer to other facilities.The blaze began late Friday and was eventually brought under control and four people were confirmed killed, the fire department said in a statement. Video — released by the department — showed fire crews on ladders trying to reach the upper floors of the hospital as smoke billowed out.Tivoli, which is located about 35 kilometers (20 miles) northeast of the center of Rome, is a popular tourist destination.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The oil industry is starting to sweat as United Nations climate talks heat up and threaten to plug fossil fuel-belching wells for good, veteran negotiation observers say.A reported letter from OPEC’s leader pleading with the oil cartel’s member countries to block any language in an agreement at climate talks that would phase out or phase down fossil fuels hit negotiations like a thunderclap. Host and fellow petrostate United Arab Emirates is trying to tamp down its reverberations in a process where one or two key nations can block everything.Environmental activists, still smarting from 30 years of soft power from oil interests keeping such discussions from seeing the light of day, smirked at signs that the mighty cartel was circling the wagons.“I think they’re panicking,” said E3G analyst Alden Meyer. “Maybe the Saudis can’t do on their own what they’ve been doing for 30 years and block the process.”Former Ireland President Mary Robinson said...Daily horoscope for December 9, 2023

(CNN) — El primer ministro británico, Rishi Sunak, tiene un problema grave.Mientras su gobernante Partido Conservador se prepara para entrar en lo que probablemente será un año electoral en 2024, languidece semana tras semana por detrás del opositor Partido Laborista en las encuestas.Los conservadores están en el poder desde 2010, periodo durante el cual han pasado por cinco primeros ministros y prácticamente todas las iteraciones posibles de conservadurismo imaginables. Y después de 13 años en el poder, es justo decir que el partido parece un poco cansado y sin ideas.Por eso Sunak se apoya en la baza histórica de los conservadores: la inmigración.Sunak, hijo de inmigrantes, está poniendo todo su empeño en reducir la inmigración neta en el Reino Unido, que alcanzó la cifra récord de 745.000 personas en 2022.Esa elevada cifra existe por varias razones: en los últimos años, el Reino Unido ha aplicado políticas generosas para acoger a personas que huían de Ucrania y Hong Kong.Des...La primera “Bachelorette” y su esposo celebran 20 años de matrimonio.

(CNN) — La depresión está aumentando en Estados Unidos. Tanto así que lo más probable es que si no padeces esta enfermedad, conozcas a alguien que sí la sufre.Casi el 18% de los adultos estadounidenses —más de 1 de cada 6— afirmaron estar actualmente deprimidos o recibiendo tratamiento para la depresión, según una encuesta de Gallup de 2023. En 2015, cuando Gallup empezó a recopilar información sobre el tema, la cifra era inferior al 11%.Los datos de Gallup muestran que la depresión clínica estaba aumentando lentamente en el país antes de la pandemia, pero creció más rápidamente después de ella, con el aislamiento social, la soledad, el miedo a la infección, el agotamiento psicológico, el abuso de sustancias y la interrupción de la atención de salud mental. Las tasas entre las mujeres, los adultos jóvenes y los adultos negros e hispanos son las que están aumentando más rápidamente.Para los adolescentes de 12 a 17 años, las estadísticas también son nefastas: Según los Centros p...Latest news
