In response to a spate of coups by U.S.-trained military personnel in West Africa and the greater Sahel, Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., has authored an amendment to the 2024 defense spending bill to collect information on trainees who overthrow their governments. It would require the Pentagon for the first time to inform Congress about U.S.-mentored mutineers, Gaetz told The Intercept in an exclusive interview.“The Department of Defense, up until this point, has not kept data regarding the people they train who participate in coups to overthrow democratically elected — or any — governments,” said Gaetz. “And that’s why in this National Defense Authorization Act … I have legislation that demands a collection of that data and a report to Congress about those outcomes.” Congress is set to take up the 2024 NDAA when it returns from recess in September.

Por qué las comunidades costeras deberían temer las marejadas ciclónicas

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:42:48 GMT

(CNN) — Casi la mitad de todas las muertes por ciclones tropicales se deben a marejadas ciclónicas.Si bien muchas personas se centran en la velocidad del viento de las tormentas, el mayor peligro a menudo proviene del agua que fluye desde el océano.“Una marejada ciclónica es un aumento en el nivel del agua causado por el fuerte viento de una tormenta que empuja el agua hacia la costa”, dijo el meteorólogo de CNN Brandon Miller. “El viento literalmente acumula el agua del océano y la empuja hacia la tierra”.Y las marejadas ciclónicas representan casi la mitad de todas las muertes relacionadas con huracanes, según la Administración Nacional Oceánica y Atmosférica.Durante el huracán Katrina en 2005, la marejada ciclónica alcanzó entre 7,6 y 8,5 metros por encima de los niveles normales de la marea. En el huracán Ian de 2022, alcanzó una altura de hasta 5,4 metros en el suroeste de Florida.Video en vivo: así se ve el paso del huracán Idalia desde la FloridaEl huracán I...

History of Ireland’s failure to get past Rugby World Cup quarterfinals

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:42:48 GMT

Generations of Ireland’s best players have never known what it’s like to win a Rugby World Cup knockout match.It is 36 years and counting that they have choked on the biggest stage.In the nine World Cups, Ireland has reached the quarterfinals seven times and gone no further. No other team has suffered so many times. Even Scotland made the semifinals once.The next adventure starts in Bordeaux on Sept. 9 against Romania.Many predict the Irish to go all the way, such has been the magnitude of their success since the last World Cup in Japan. But, first, they have to get out of a pool including South Africa and Scotland then endure a week of questions about their historic inability to take another step.Success is conditional, as one of Ireland’s greatest, Paul O’Connell, explained in his biography about their goals for his fourth and last World Cup in 2015: “Success for us would be playing to our potential. I’d like to make the semifinal, and see what happen...

Those were to France (3), England (2), Wales and New Zealand.13 — current winning streak, eclipsing Ireland’s previous best of 12 across 2017-18.82 — winning percentage of coach Andy Farrell, the best by a permanent Ireland coach in the professional era.If an Ireland side was ever ready to go the whole way and win the World Cup, then this is the one.The Irish have been a settled side for a long time. Virtually the same team which took the historic series decider against the All Blacks in New Zealand in July last year also won the Six Nations Grand Slam decider against England in Dublin in March.
