Lawrence lanza 3 pases de TD y Little anota gol para Jaguars que vencen 27-24 a Cardinals
Por DAVID BRANDT
GLENDALE, Arizona, EE.UU. (AP) — Trevor Lawrence lanzó tres pases de touchdown, Cam Little pateó un gol de campo de 52 yardas en tiempo extra y los Jaguars de Jacksonville superaron una actuación llena de pérdidas de balón para vencer el domingo 27-24 a los Cardinals de Arizona.
Jacksonville tuvo el balón primero en el tiempo extra y, después de que una prometedora serie se detuviera, Little hizo su patada con 7:46 restantes. A principios de esta temporada, estableció un récord de la NFL con una patada de 68 yardas.
Arizona tuvo la oportunidad de empatar o ganar, pero el pase en cuarta oportunidad de Jacoby Brissett a Xavier Weaver quedó incompleto. Los Cardinals optaron por intentarlo en cuarta oportunidad en lugar de intentar un gol de campo de 60 yardas.
Jacksonville (7-4) ha ganado tres de sus últimos cuatro partidos para mejorar su posición en la imagen de los playoffs de la AFC. Arizona (3-8) ha perdido ocho de sus últimos nueve encuentros.
Lawrence completó 18 de 30 pases para 256 yardas, ganando a pesar de una tarde llena de errores.
Brissett completó 33 de 49 pases para 317 yardas y un touchdown. Tiene un récord de 1-5 como titular de Arizona después de reemplazar a Kyler Murray, seleccionado dos veces para el Pro Bowl, quien está en la reserva de lesionados con una lesión en el pie.

Rangers y Mets acuerdan intercambio de Marcus Semien por Brandon Nimmo, según fuente de AP
Por STEPHEN HAWKINS y RONALD BLUM
ARLINGTON, Texas, EE.UU. (AP) — Los Rangers de Texas y los Mets acordaron un intercambio que enviaría al segunda base ganador del Guante de Oro, Marcus Semien, a Nueva York a cambio del jardinero Brandon Nimmo.
Una persona con conocimiento directo del acuerdo confirmó el intercambio el domingo. Esa persona habló con The Associated Press bajo condición de anonimato porque el trato no había sido finalizado ni anunciado. La misma fuente afirma que Nimmo aceptó renunciar a una cláusula de no intercambio en su contrato.
Nimmo, quien ha jugado las diez temporadas de su carrera en las Grandes Ligas con los Mets, acaba de completar la tercera temporada del contrato de 162 millones por ocho años que firmó después de convertirse en agente libre por primera vez tras la temporada 2022. El bateador zurdo de 32 años tiene salarios anuales de 20,25 millones cada temporada hasta 2030.
Semien tiene tres temporadas y 72 millones restantes en el contrato de 175 millones por siete años que firmó con los Rangers en diciembre de 2021. Eso fue al mismo tiempo que, también en la agencia libre, añadieron al campocorto MVP Corey Seager con un contrato de 325 millones por diez años.
Ese medio campo de medio billón de dólares ayudó a los Rangers a ganar su único título de la Serie Mundial en 2023. Pero ese fue el único récord ganador en las últimas nueve temporadas para el equipo que este año terminó con .500 (81-81) por primera vez en la historia de la franquicia.
El jardinero slugger, el cubano Adolis García, el receptor ambidiestro Jonah Heim y el relevista derecho Josh Sborz, otros tres jugadores que tuvieron roles significativos en el campeonato de la Serie Mundial, se convirtieron en agentes libres el viernes cuando los Rangers no les ofrecieron contratos para 2026.
Semien, de 35 años, ganó su segundo Guante de Oro esta temporada, aunque se perdió las últimas cinco 1/dos semanas, sin volver a jugar después de golpear una pelota con su pie el 20 de agosto. Esa fue solo la segunda vez en sus 13 temporadas en las Grandes Ligas que ha estado en la lista de lesionados.
Antes de esa lesión, Semien solo había perdido seis de los 615 juegos de los Rangers desde que se unió a ellos antes de la temporada 2022. Bateó .230 con 15 jonrones, 62 carreras impulsadas y 62 carreras anotadas en 127 juegos este año, y .249 con 93 jonrones y 319 carreras impulsadas en sus cuatro temporadas en Texas.
En 1.629 juegos de carrera con los Chicago White Sox (2013-14), Oakland (2015-20), Toronto (2021) y Texas, tiene un promedio de bateo de .253 con 253 jonrones y 801 carreras impulsadas. Estableció máximos de carrera con 45 jonrones y 102 carreras impulsadas en su única temporada con los Azulejos antes de ir a Texas en la agencia libre.
Nimmo tiene un porcentaje de embasado de carrera de .364, incluyendo 583 aperturas como primer bate. Ha anotado al menos 81 carreras en cada una de las últimas tres temporadas desde un máximo de carrera de 102 en 2022.
La mayoría de sus turnos al bate esta temporada fueron desde el medio del orden de bateo, y bateó .262, el mismo que su promedio de carrera, con máximos de temporada de 25 jonrones y 92 carreras impulsadas en 155 juegos. Tiene 135 jonrones y 463 carreras impulsadas en sus 1.066 juegos.

In his words: President Trump’s rhetoric about Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin has evolved
President Donald Trump repeatedly said during his White House campaign that if he won the 2024 election, he would be able to end the war between Russia and Ukraine “in 24 hours.” But in the 10 months since he took office, the road to a peace deal has been fraught with changing dynamics involving the American leader, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump’s rhetoric toward both men has evolved. It continues to do so.
At the outset of his second term in January, Trump was conciliatory toward Putin, for whom he long has shown admiration. Over time, Trump expressed increasing exasperation with Putin, while seemingly softening criticism of Zelenskyy after their February blowout in the Oval Office.
Trump’s administration imposed sanctions on Russia and he was suggesting by the fall that Ukraine could win back all territory lost to Russia. That was a dramatic shift from his repeated calls for Kyiv to make concessions to end the war that began with Russia’s invasion in February 2022.
By late November, Trump had endorsed a peace plan favorable to Russia. Some Democratic senators suggested the proposal was a “wish list” that originated with Moscow and they had heard just that from Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The State Department disputed it and Rubio insisted the plan was written by the United States. American allies in Europe nonetheless worried it was too conciliatory to Russia.
Trump had returned to slamming Zelenskyy in ways that recalled how Trump and Vice President JD Vance had hounded the Ukrainian leader out of the Oval Office months earlier. Trump was now suggesting Zelenskyy was not appearing grateful enough for years of U.S. military support. The Republican president also chided European countries for not doing more to put economic pressure on Russa.
Here is a look at what Trump has said this year and how his tone has changed:
Jan. 31
“We want to end that war. That war would have not started if I was president.”
Trump said his new administration had already had “very serious” discussions with Russia and that he and Putin could soon take “significant” action toward ending the conflict.
Feb. 19
“A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left.”
Trump’s harsh words for Zelenskyy on his Truth Social platform drew criticism from Democrats and even some Republicans in Congress, where defending Ukraine from Russian aggression has traditionally had bipartisan support. Zelenskyy said Trump was falling into a Russian disinformation trap. He was quickly admonished by Vance about the perils of publicly criticizing the new U.S. president.
Feb. 28
“You’re gambling with World War III. And what you’re doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country that’s backed you far more than a lot of people said they should have.”
Trump and Vance berated Zelenskyy over the war, accusing him of not showing gratitude after he challenged Vance on the question of diplomacy with Putin. The argument in the Oval Office was broadcast globally. It led to the rest of Zelenskyy’s White House visit being canceled and called into question the U.S. support of Ukraine. A few days after the blowup, Trump temporarily paused military aid to Ukraine to pressure Zelenskyy to seek peace.
March 30
“I don’t think he’s going to go back on his word. You’re talking about Putin. I don’t think he’s going to go back on his word. I’ve known him for a long time. We’ve always gotten along well.”
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said he trusted Putin to hold up his end of a potential peace deal.
April 24
“I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP! 5000 soldiers a week are dying. Lets get the Peace Deal DONE!”
In a Truth Social post, Trump reacted to Russia attacking Kyiv with an hourslong barrage of missiles and drones. It was the first of his rare criticism of Putin as Russia stepped up its attacks on Ukraine.
April 29
“A lot of his people are dying. They’re being killed, and I feel very badly about it.”
Trump addressed the toll on Ukrainians during an interview with ABC News after he met with Zelenskyy on the sidelines of Pope Francis’ funeral. It was the first time the two leaders had met since the Oval Office spat and it signaled a shift in Trump’s attitude toward the Ukrainian president.
May 25
“I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY!”
Trump’s Truth Social post made it clear he was losing patience with Putin as Moscow pounded Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities with drones and missiles.
June 25
“He was very nice actually. We had a little rough times, sometimes. He was … Couldn’t have been nicer. I think he’d like to see an end to this, I do.”
Trump had a closed-door meeting with Zelenskyy during a NATO summit in The Hague. Trump’s comments to reporters later also opened the possibility of sending Patriot air defense missiles to Ukraine.
July 8
“We get a lot of bull–—t thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth. He’s very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless.”
Trump also said he was “not happy” with Putin and that the war was “killing a lot of people” on both sides. Trump’s comments during a Cabinet meeting came a day after he said the United States would send more weapons to Ukraine. It was a dramatic reversal after earlier announcing a pause in the delivery of previously approved firepower to Kyiv, a decision that was made amid concerns that America’s military stockpiles had declined too much.
July 13
“I am very disappointed with President Putin, I thought he was somebody that meant what he said. He’ll talk so beautifully and then he’ll bomb people at night. We don’t like that.”
Trump’s remarks to reporters came as Russia has intensified its aerial attacks.
July 14
“I don’t want to say he’s an assassin, but he’s a tough guy. It’s been proven over the years. He’s fooled a lot of people before.”
Trump pushed harder against Putin during an Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. Trump said if there was no deal to end the war within 50 days, the U.S. would impose “secondary tariffs,” meaning taxes would target Russia’s trading partners in an effort to isolate Moscow.
Trump and Rutte also discussed a rejuvenated pipeline for U.S. weapons. European allies planned to buy military equipment and then transfer it to Ukraine.
Aug. 15
“There’s no deal until there’s a deal.”
Trump failed to secure an agreement from Putin during a summit in Alaska even after rolling out the red carpet for the man who started the war.
Trump had wanted to show off his deal-making skills. Instead, he handed Putin long-sought recognition on the international stage after years of Western efforts to make Putin a pariah over the war and his crackdown on dissent, and forestalled the threat of additional U.S. sanctions.
Sept. 23
“Russia has been fighting aimlessly for three and a half years a War that should have taken a Real Military Power less than a week to win. This is not distinguishing Russia. In fact, it is very much making them look like ‘a paper tiger.’ ”
Trump posted on social media soon after meeting with Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly gathering of world leaders.
He also said he believed Ukraine could win back all territory lost to Russia, a departure from Trump’s previous suggestions that Ukraine would never be able to reclaim all the territory that Russia has occupied since it seized the Crimean Peninsula in 2014.
Oct. 17
“Stop the war immediately.”
After again hosting Zelenskyy at the White House, Trump implied that Moscow should be allowed keep territory it has taken from Kyiv if doing so could help end the conflict more quickly.
“You go by the battle line wherever it is — otherwise it’s too complicated,” Trump said. “You stop at the battle line and both sides should go home, go to their families, stop the killing, and that should be it.”
Trump had a lengthy phone call with Putin the day before Zelenskyy arrived and announced he soon planned to meet with Putin in Hungary. That meeting never materialized, in part because of a lack of progress on ending the war.
Trump also signaled to Zelenskyy that the U.S. would not be selling Ukraine long-range Tomahawk missiles, which the Ukrainians believed could be a game changer in helping prod Putin to the negotiating table.
Oct. 22
“Hopefully he’ll become reasonable.”
Trump made the comment suggesting Putin could be more favorable to a peace agreement after the Treasury Department announced sanctions against Russia’s two biggest oil companies and their subsidiaries. But Trump added, “And, hopefully Zelenskyy will be reasonable, too. You know, it takes two to tango, as they say.”
Nov. 21
“He’s going to have to approve it.”
Trump suggested that Zelenskyy would have to accept the U.S. peace plan. Trump pressed Zelenskyy to agree to concessions of land to Moscow, a massive reduction in the size of Ukraine’s army and agreement from Europe to assert that Ukraine would never be admitted into the NATO military alliance.
Trump set a Nov. 27 deadline — Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. — for Zelenskyy to respond to the plan. Trump also said more time could be allotted to Ukraine as long as progress was made to a lasting peace.
Nov. 22
“I would like to get to peace.”
Asked if the peace plan was his final offer, Trump said it was not. He did not elaborate. But his comment suggested he would be willing to negotiate past the Nov. 27 deadline and alter the peace plan in ways that Ukraine wants. “We’re trying to get it ended. One way or the other, we have to get it ended,” Trump said of the war.
Senators from both parties who have been critical of Trump’s approach to ending the war said they spoke with Rubio, who told them that the plan Trump was pushing Kyiv to accept was actually a “wish list” of the Russians.
The State Department called that account “false” and Rubio later took the extraordinary step of insisting that the plan was U.S.-authored. But the incident raised still more questions about its ultimate fate.
Nov. 23
“UKRAINE ‘LEADERSHIP’ HAS EXPRESSED ZERO GRATITUDE FOR OUR EFFORTS, AND EUROPE CONTINUES TO BUY OIL FROM RUSSIA.”
In a post on his social media site, Trump went after Zelenskyy and the Europeans once more: “With strong and proper U.S. and Ukrainian LEADERSHIP” Russia’s invasion of Ukraine “would have NEVER HAPPENED,” Trump said, again blaming his predecessor, Democrat Joe Biden, for allowing the conflict in Ukraine.

Nick Marinelli and Arrinten Page rally Northwestern past South Carolina 79-77 at the Greenbrier Tip-Off
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — Nick Martinelli had 25 points before notching an assist on Arrinten Page’s layup in the final second and Northwestern survived a late rally by South Carolina to post a 79-77 victory on Sunday in the Mountain Division of the Greenbrier Tip-Off.
South Carolina was down two with just over seven minutes remaining when Grant Polk missed a 3-point shot. Max Green hit from deep at the other end and then scored off a steal by Page. Justin Mullins followed with a dunk and Green scored off another Gamecocks turnover to finish a 9-0 run for a 71-60 advantage with 5:30 left to play.
Meechie Johnson scored seven straight points for South Carolina and Elijah Strong made two free throws with 1:44 remaining to cap a 15-4 spurt and tie it at 75-all. Martinelli hit a jumper for the lead, but Mike Sharavjamts sank two free throws to knot the score with 28 seconds left.
Martinelli made 8 of 17 shots with two 3-pointers and 7 of 8 free throws for the Wildcats (5-1). Green hit three 3-pointers and scored 13 off the bench. Page pitched in with 10 points and six assists.
Strong led the Gamecocks (4-2) with 16 points off the bench. Johnson scored 15 points, while Sharavjamts had 12 points and eight rebounds.
Martinelli had eight points as Northwestern took a 36-34 lead into halftime.
The Gamecocks opened the event with a 79-72 loss to Butler, while the Wildcats lost to Virginia 83-78.
Up next
South Carolina: The Gamecocks host Charleston Southern on Friday.
Northwestern: The Wildcats play Oklahoma State at 9:30 p.m. Thursday at the United Center in the Thanksgiving Classic. That game follows the matchup between No. 5 Duke and No. 21 Arkansas at 7 p.m.

Gol y tres asistencias de Messi dan triunfo a Inter Miami 4-0 sobre FC Cincinnati
Por JEFF WALLNER
CINCINNATI (AP) — Lionel Messi tuvo un gol y tres asistencias y el argentino Tadeo Allende anotó dos veces mientras el Inter Miami venció el domingo 4-0 al FC Cincinnati para avanzar a las finales de la Conferencia Este.
Miami se enfrentará al ganador de la otra semifinal de conferencia del domingo entre el Union de Filadelfia y el New York City FC.
Messi estableció un récord de playoffs de la MLS con 12 contribuciones de gol (seis goles, seis asistencias).
Cincinnati tuvo el segundo mejor récord general en la MLS detrás de Filadelfia después de ganar el Supporters Shield la temporada pasada. Cincinnati perdió ante el Columbus Crew en las finales de conferencia del año pasado.
Messi no había anotado en tres partidos contra Cincinnati, pero esa racha terminó en el minuto 19 el domingo cuando cabeceó un centro corto del argentino Mateo Silvetti, dando a Miami una ventaja de 1-0. Messi, campeón del mundo con Argentina y ganador del Balón de Oro en ocho ocasiones, logró su undécimo gol en los últimos siete partidos.
Nueve minutos después de anotar, Messi se encontró solo con el portero, pero su disparo hacia el segundo palo se fue desviado.
La mejor oportunidad de gol de Cincinnati llegó en la primera mitad cuando el venezolano Ender Echenique envió un cabezazo al área para el brasileño Evander, quien disparó por encima del travesaño.
Miami tuvo siete tiros a puerta contra cuatro de Cincinnati.
Miami aumentó la ventaja a dos goles diez minutos después del segundo tiempo cuando Silvetti venció al portero de Cincinnati, Roman Celentano, con un disparo desde el lado izquierdo del área.
En el minuto 62, Messi pasó el balón entre la defensa a Allende, quien puso el marcador 3-0. Allende anotó nuevamente en el minuto 74.
Cincinnati venció a Miami 3-0 en casa el 16 de julio y empató sin goles en Fort Lauderdale el 26 de julio. Messi estuvo en la alineación para el primer encuentro, pero no en el segundo.

Restraint Technique That Supposedly Killed George Floyd Was Part Of Officer Training?
Restraint Technique That Supposedly Killed George Floyd Was Part Of Officer Training?
Derek Chauvin’s defense attorneys have filed a new petition that challenges the 2021 murder conviction that sent Chauvin to prison over George Floyd’s death. The petition includes over 50 former and current MPD officers who made sworn declarations that the technique Chauvin used to restrain George Floyd was part of the official training they received.
The 71-page petition was sent to Hennepin County District Court, where Attorney Greg Joseph stated that “this case simply never made sense.” The petition asserts that the case involves two key issues: intent and causation. Did the restraint of Floyd follow policies and procedures of the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD); and, did the restraint cause Floyd’s death
In each case, the evidence is thin. Yet, prosecutors achieved a conviction which many critics argue was pure theater – The human sacrifice of Derek Chauvin on the altar of race politics as a means to justify the mob violence of Black Lives Matter groups. The protests (and the hysteria over the pandemic), paid for with hundreds of millions of dollars in NGO funds, brought chaos in the middle of the US election process and Democrats took full advantage of.
The benefits behind throwing Chauvin to the wolves were many.
During the trial, the Minneapolis Police Department denied that the specific restraint used by Derek Chauvin. This denial came directly from MPD leadership. If Chauvin was simply applying restraint techniques that he was trained by the MPD to use then he cannot be held accountable for any potential ill effects that the technique causes.
The point is of course moot if the restraint had nothing to do with George Floyd’s death.
In seeking to vacate Chauvin’s conviction, or obtain a new trial, the petition argues that Chauvin “was deprived of his right to due process under the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and Article I of the Minnesota Constitution.”
In speaking about the prosecution – and what he believes was the false testimony of MPD Inspector Katie Blackwell, Chief Medaria Arradondo, and others during Chauvin’s trial – Joseph told Alpha News, “you can only run from the truth for so long.”
The petition argues that the methods used to examine video footage of George Floyd’s restraint and arrest by “expert” witness for the prosecution are at odds with the methods used by the medical examiner, Dr. Andrew Baker, the only doctor who conducted an actual autopsy of Floyd. It should be noted that Baker did in fact blame the subduing of Floyd as the ultimate cause of death, even though no damage was found to Floyd that would explain the death as a homicide.
The official autopsy performed by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner found no physical trauma, fractures, or damage to George Floyd’s trachea, larynx, hyoid bone, or surrounding throat structures. This included no bruising, lacerations, or other visible injuries in the neck area. The report explicitly noted “no life-threatening injuries identified” to the neck muscles, cartilage, bones, or soft tissues.
The autopsy, instead, said that Floyd died of severe heart disease that was “complicated” by the arrest. Baker had told the jury “that he had certified deaths due to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease under similar conditions.”
Furthermore, Baker found 11 ng/mL of fentanyl in Floyd’s toxicology; this is at least twice the amount required for a common deadly dose. He was described by witnesses as erratic and ‘extremely impaired’, throwing himself around the back of the police vehicle to escape arrest. Even if Floyd was a chronic user, fentanyl is known to exacerbate heart disease.
It should be noted that no other officer in modern history has been convicted of murder charges for a death that took place during prone restraint. At most, Chauvin should have faced involuntary manslaughter charges.
In other words, Derek Chauvin was convicted for the second-degree murder of Floyd because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong suspect. He just happened to be arresting the man (who resisted arrest while he had a heart condition and poison in his veins) using a technique which MPD officers say was a part of Chauvin’s training. The jury was reportedly lied to, and apparently coached to ignore the obvious contradictions.
If this is the case, then it confirms everyone’s suspicions: The trial was a complete clown show – a political farce.

El plan de paz para Ucrania ensombrece el ánimo en una nación devastada por la guerra
Por YEHOR KONOVALOV y EVGENIY MALOLETKA
Fosas comunes e iglesias marcadas por balas son testigos del tormento de la pasada ocupación rusa en el suburbio de Bucha, en Kiev, donde los residentes traumatizados ahora enfrentan una nueva angustia: una propuesta de paz liderada por Estados Unidos que ofrecería amnistía para los perpetradores de atrocidades.
Para los sobrevivientes de Bucha, donde cientos de ucranianos fueron asesinados en 2022, esa amnistía se percibe menos como una reconciliación y más como una fuente de desilusión.
Es un sentimiento que se siente en otras comunidades y refleja preocupaciones más amplias en toda Ucrania sobre las implicaciones de absolver a Rusia, y a sus tropas y funcionarios, de presuntos crímenes.
La Iglesia de San Andrés Apóstol del pueblo se encuentra junto a una fosa común donde están enterrados civiles; algunos asesinados a tiros en la calle, otros que mostraban signos de tortura.
El padre Andriy Halavin, quien lidera la parroquia, dijo que cualquier amnistía legitimaría más violencia mientras la guerra continúa.
“Es una luz verde”, afirmó después de celebrar el servicio dominical en la iglesia aún dañada. “Significa que puedes seguir bombardeando, seguir ejecutando soldados, todo con la confianza de que no pasará nada”.
Las matanzas masivas fueron descubiertas cuando las fuerzas rusas se retiraron del área tras su fallido intento de tomar Kiev, después de que comenzó la invasión a gran escala en 2022.
El padre Andriy dijo que muchos perpetradores ya han sido identificados. La justicia, insistió, no se trata de venganza, sino de demostrar que la rendición de cuentas aún importa, especialmente cuando se les pide a los ucranianos que consideren dolorosos sacrificios por la paz.
El plan de paz de 28 puntos siguió a negociaciones secretas entre enviados de Rusia y el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump.
De acuerdo con la propuesta, Ucrania renunciaría a territorio más allá de la tierra actualmente controlada por Moscú, reduciría su Ejército y renunciaría a su idea de sumarse a la membresía en la OTAN. A cambio, Kiev recibiría garantías de seguridad internacional y asistencia para la reconstrucción.
En el cementerio militar de Bucha, Vira Katanenko, de 66 años, visitó la tumba de su hijo Andrii, quien murió en combate en la región de Donetsk el año pasado. Para ella, el plan de paz y la amnistía son impensables.
“No puedo aceptar eso”, dijo. “¿Quieren perdón por todos los crímenes de guerra, incluyendo Bucha? Eso es espantoso. Que vengan aquí, que Trump mismo venga aquí. Que él y su familia vengan, vean nuestro dolor, y tal vez entonces cambien de opinión”.
Los líderes europeos insisten en que las conversaciones de paz deben incluir a Ucrania y proteger su soberanía.
El presidente de Ucrania, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dice que el plan representa uno de los momentos más difíciles de la guerra, y se ha comprometido a trabajar con Washington, pero buscando cambios.
A poca distancia de Bucha, dolientes se reunieron para el funeral del militar Ruslan Zhyhunov, un ametrallador de 41 años muerto en el este de Ucrania.
La incertidumbre en torno al plan de paz pesaba mucho entre los familiares y vecinos mientras observaban el entierro bajo la lluvia, otro recordatorio, dijeron, de lo frágil que se siente ahora cualquier futuro prometido.
“¿Cómo puedes intercambiar el territorio de tus antepasados por algo? ¿Por qué?”, preguntó Andrii Honcharuk, un voluntario de la defensa territorial de 71 años, ya retirado, que asistió al funeral uniformado. “La guerra no terminará pronto. Seguiremos muriendo por mucho tiempo”.

Chicago Sky will pick 5th in WNBA draft after Dallas Wings win the lottery for the 2nd year in a row
The Dallas Wings won the WNBA draft lottery for the second consecutive season Sunday night. The Wings, who drafted Paige Bueckers No. 1 last year, had a 42% chance to secure the top pick again.
The Minnesota Lynx, who had the best record in the league last year, will pick second. The Lynx owned the Chicago Sky’s first-round pick after a previous trade.
The Seattle Storm, Washington Mystics and Sky — who owned the Connecticut Sun’s pick — rounded out the lottery.
The WNBA is currently negotiating with the players union for a new collective bargaining agreement. The sides agreed to extend a Oct. 31 deadline to Nov. 30. Assuming a new CBA can get negotiated, the draft is normally held in April.
While there’s no clear-cut No. 1 pick like Bueckers last season, there’s a host of draft-eligible players in college, including UCLA’s Lauren Betts, UConn’s Azzi Fudd, LSU’s Flau’jae Johnson and TCU’s Olivia Miles. There’s also Spanish player Awa Fam.
The league is expanding to 15 teams this season with the addition of the Portland Fire and Toronto Tempo. Details of the expansion draft for those two franchises haven’t been announced. They will pick sixth and seventh in the draft.

Daily Horoscope for November 24, 2025
General Daily Insight for November 24, 2025
The impact of minor gestures is magnified today. We start gently, since mischievous Mercury misreads healing Chiron, so small misunderstandings may nudge us to slow conversations until expectations match. As the hours roll on, the Moon faces expansive Jupiter, asking us to weigh comfort against growth while we juggle home needs with ambitious dreams. At 8:52 PM EST, wordy Mercury conjoins thoughtful Venus, inviting heartfelt talks that precede fair agreements. We can bridge almost any difference and move forward with kindness!
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Trust grows when you speak with gentle courage at this time. If something’s been bothering you, bring it up, but don’t force someone to focus on it unless it’s a continual issue. Shared resources could be a particularly sore spot with Mercury in your 8th house, but you can talk out these tangles. This may involve a business partner, a platonic pal, or a romantic connection. You likely both need the security such a discussion would offer. Aim for candor, because trust makes teamwork easier.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Reliable care will make every promise stronger. Your 7th House of Partnerships brightens as mischievous Mercury meets harmonious Venus there, encouraging a clear agreement about roles while smoothing tender feelings in close bonds. You might revisit a contract and add a clearer clause about response times. After all, if you’re on call, they should be paying you for that! If a loved one seems spacey, consider offering them some comforting tea and a listening ear. Wherever you’re at, choose patient words to build lasting connections.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
An inquisitive spirit works best alongside kind support. Teamwork runs smoother when chatty Mercury joins sweet Venus in your 6th House of Work and Wellness, so productive tasks pair nicely with casual conversations. You may suggest a shared checklist to your co-worker or keep more snacks handy at home. Friendly gestures don’t have to be big to mean a lot to the recipient. Ensuring everyone has access to their needs, including you, is an incredibly valuable task. Spend today practicing simple support for your circle.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Playful chatter warms hearts faster than solemn discussions. Clever Mercury conjoins Venus within your 5th House of Delight, inviting light-hearted moments that allow everyone to feel safe expressing themselves. Plan a simple get-together at home tonight, one where your loved ones can relax into laughter and joy. Invite those you can trust to be accepting of a dip in energy levels — if you need to step outside for air, they should support that. Such gatherings are a great way to strengthen these invaluable bonds.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Home feels calmer when voices stay kind. Your 4th House of Family glows as intellectual Mercury blends with Venus, guiding household talks and care tasks to flourish with affection and effort. You might set a holiday budget with family or friends, because generous warmth helps everyone feel seen and safe. If the holidays are a tough time for you or your loved ones, pay attention to what makes those rough moments more bearable. That way, you can make plans that prioritize comfort and care.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
You can talk around problems all you want, but sooner or later, you’ll have to mention the elephant in the room. Clear messages matter when messenger Mercury teams up with values-driven Venus in your chatty 3rd house. You could refine instructions for co-workers, taking care to avoid unnecessary critiques without overlooking necessary fixes. Whatever you’re up to, most messages could use a second pass before sending. Edits prevent confusion that might otherwise multiply small errors. Keep it simple, because clarity saves everyone time.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
You never know unless you ask! Right now, curious Mercury is meeting money-wise Venus inside your 2nd House of Worth, making it easier to discuss pay (whether you’re the payee or payer) in a respectful way. You could ask for a discount on a less-than-satisfactory service or be offered a tip — even if your industry doesn’t typically involve tipping. A holiday bonus could also be in store! When you know your worth, you’ll be able to advocate for yourself with confidence.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Your presence tells the story before your words. First impressions carry extra sweetness during the alignment between Mercury and Venus in the zone of self-identity, so your look and tone feel naturally more magnetic. Perhaps you’ll update a bio you use for work to mirror deeper changes you have been making. Feeling less professional? Consider saying hello to a neighbor you haven’t talked with much before! You could make an amazing new friend. If they don’t appreciate your vibe, that’s their problem.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
The cosmos is speaking, but you’ll need a quiet space to hear it. Your shadowed 12th house hosts a meeting between cerebral Mercury and compassionate Venus, inviting gentle reflection. Healing is best done in slower, subtle moments, so make an effort to give yourself such moments throughout the day. You might write a note of apology or forgiveness, clean a hidden corner, or cancel an exhausting plan. Share one tender thought with a trusted friend tonight, and let their reply assuage any remaining worries.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Community is strengthened by clear plans. Those plans shouldn’t be too tough to make while your friendly 11th house shines with the blessings of Mercury conjoining Venus. That said, people probably have some conflicting desires! You might propose a low-cost meetup for a professional team, because steady coordination turns goodwill into real momentum. When things are more personal, be sure to account for everyone’s preferences as much as possible. Either way, have patience with the prep for any get-together. Connections thrive with quality time.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
You’ve got the touch, Aquarius! Your 10th House of Status is practically vibrating with the energy of today’s conjunction between Mercury and Venus. They’re invigorating you to shape career-defining pitches or announce a reputation-boosting idea. At home or in public, keep your tone in mind. Different situations call for different vocabularies. For example, your boss probably wouldn’t appreciate slang, but your pals may want to hear it! Tailor your talk to your audience, because that’s the best way to attract trustworthy support.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Take a moment today to view the path ahead — metaphorically speaking. What are you most excited for as the year winds to an end? This is also a good time to think about plans for next year, as Mercury uplifts pleasure-seeking Venus in your inquisitive 9th house. If you’d prefer to stay in the present, try talking with someone from a different background. Ask open questions, letting sincere curiosity turn strangers into teachers and friends. Travel and learning can expand faith and joy.
