Perros desfilan en el Carnaval de Río y sus dueños protestan contra la crueldad hacia los animales
Por MAURICIO SAVARESE
RÍO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Decenas de perros disfrazados de caimanes, hadas y superhéroes se reunieron el sábado en una fiesta callejera del Carnaval en Río de Janeiro mientras sus dueños protestaban contra la crueldad hacia las mascotas. Los canes movían la cola al ritmo de la samba, comieron un delicioso desayuno en varios tazones e hicieron nuevos amigos en el llamado Blocao, un evento tradicional durante la mayor celebración de Brasil.
Unas 300 personas y sus mascotas se congregaron en el barrio de Barra da Tijuca, en la zona oeste de Río. Cantaron y bailaron al son de canciones de Carnaval de estilo antiguo mientras sus mascotas mantenían las patas protegidas a la sombra, ya que los termómetros en la ciudad marcaban 30 grados Celsius (86 Fahrenheit).
“Los perros forman parte de nuestras familias. Las familias vienen a una fiesta callejera para perros porque es dulce, es alegre y amorosa”, declaró Marco Antonio Marinho, de 72 años, principal organizador del Blocao. Y añadió: “Cuando estamos tristes en casa, ellos están a nuestro lado; también se ponen tristes. Ahora que estamos felices, ellos también tienen que estar felices. Por eso cuidamos sus patas, les mantenemos agua para que estén cómodos y seguros”.
Una estación de hidratación ayudó a que los perros conservaran su energía durante las dos horas de la celebración callejera en una plaza, mientras muchos cariocas —como se les llama a los residentes de Río— tocaban la bocina de sus autos para mostrar apoyo a los canes y a los dueños que protestaban. En años anteriores, los perros desfilaban por las calles, pero a menudo sus delicadas patas se quemaban con el pavimento caliente.
El nombre Blocao es una mezcla de “bloco”, que significa fiesta callejera de Carnaval, y “cao”, que significa perro en portugués. La fiesta callejera se realiza desde hace más de 20 años.
Marinho y otros asistentes agitaron cintas blancas y entonaron una canción en homenaje a Orelha, un perro que fue asesinado en el sur de Brasil en enero, un caso que provocó indignación a nivel nacional.
La policía del estado de Santa Catarina acusó a un joven de 15 años que presuntamente golpeó al perro hasta matarlo. Las autoridades han recomendado que el adolescente sea juzgado bajo el sistema de justicia juvenil, mientras que el juez del caso aún no se ha pronunciado.
El abogado del adolescente negó que su cliente haya cometido algo ilegal.
Natalia Reis, de 28 años, acudió por primera vez al Blocao con su perro Theo, de 11 años, en parte por la muerte de Orelha. Se le llenaron los ojos de lágrimas cuando los organizadores tomaron el micrófono para hablar sobre la importancia de proteger a las mascotas de la crueldad.
“Esto fue tan desafortunado; necesitamos que los responsables de su muerte sean castigados”, manifestó Reis. “Necesitamos crear conciencia. Esto podría haberme pasado a mí, a cualquiera de nosotros”.

“Billion Dollar Movie In One Prompt”: AI Disruption Crosshairs Hone In On Hollywood Studios
“Billion Dollar Movie In One Prompt”: AI Disruption Crosshairs Hone In On Hollywood Studios
AI-driven equity disruption was everywhere this past week, spreading like wildfire beyond software into insurance, commercial real estate, financials, shipping, wealth management, and likely many more industries in the coming trading sessions.
One industry in the crosshairs of AI disruption is Hollywood. Some of the publicly traded studios include The Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount Global, Sony Group Corporation, Netflix, Lionsgate, and others.
On Friday, Axios reported that the Walt Disney Company sent a cease-and-desist letter to ByteDance, alleging that the Chinese tech firm has been infringing on its films to develop Seedance 2.0 without compensation.
Disney’s outside attorney, David Singer, wrote a letter to ByteDance global general counsel John Rogovin, accusing the AI company of “pre-packaging its Seedance service with a pirated library of Disney’s copyrighted characters from Star Wars, Marvel, and other Disney franchises, as if Disney’s coveted intellectual property were free public domain clip art.”
“Over Disney’s well-publicized objections, ByteDance is hijacking Disney’s characters by reproducing, distributing, and creating derivative works featuring those characters. ByteDance’s virtual smash-and-grab of Disney’s IP is willful, pervasive, and totally unacceptable,” Singer said.
He added, “We believe this is just the tip of the iceberg, which is shocking considering Seedance has only been available for a few days.”
It’s not just ByteDance’s Seedance 2.0 that has spooked Hollywood studios.
A growing wave of video-generation models suggests that Hollywood’s moat is crumbling, and its control of the media game is nearing its end.

Policías con máscaras de “La casa de papel” detienen a ladrones de celulares en Carnaval de Río
RíO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Policías de Río de Janeiro se disfrazaron como los ladrones de la serie “La casa de papel” y como Jason Voorhees, de la franquicia de películas de terror “Viernes 13”, para mezclarse con las multitudes que celebraban el Carnaval y atrapar a delincuentes que robaban teléfonos celulares.
El Carnaval comenzó oficialmente el viernes en Río, y para muchos juerguistas que participan en las bulliciosas y deslumbrantes fiestas callejeras de esta megalópolis, una de las mayores preocupaciones es no perder sus teléfonos, ya que los robos son demasiado comunes.
Para hacer frente a este fenómeno, agentes del barrio de Santa Teresa se disfrazaron el viernes para pasar desapercibidos ante los ladrones. Los agentes encubiertos observaron cómo una mujer le arrebataba un teléfono celular de la mano a alguien, la siguieron y vieron cómo entregaba el dispositivo a un cómplice, informó la policía civil de Río el sábado en un comunicado.
La policía detuvo a la pareja y encontró cinco teléfonos celulares en su poder.
No fue la primera vez que policías brasileños, vestidos con disfraces, han intentado mezclarse con las multitudes durante las festividades para atrapar a los infractores.
El domingo pasado, agentes disfrazados de personajes de “Los Cazafantasmas” detuvieron a una mujer con 12 teléfonos celulares robados en el centro de São Paulo. Un día antes, agentes con atuendos de extraterrestres capturaron a un hombre con tres teléfonos ocultos bajo la ropa.
Los robos de teléfonos celulares han disminuido en general en Brasil, según el informe anual de 2025 del centro de estudios Foro Brasileño de Seguridad Pública. Esos delitos se redujeron de aproximadamente 980.000 al año en 2022 a unos 850.000 en 2024.
Pero el temor a los asaltos a mano armada y al hurto discreto de teléfonos celulares sigue siendo alto, y las encuestas de opinión muestran de manera constante que la violencia y el crimen son la principal preocupación de los brasileños.

An Olympics of firsts: Brazil and Kazakhstan claim surprise gold medals
BORMIO, Italy — Brazil boasts beaches and sunshine, not ski slopes and snow. Its single-name athletic legends tend to play soccer, the country’s defining sport.
So when Lucas Pinheiro Braathen, an exuberant alpine skier, won gold for Brazil in the men’s giant slalom race Saturday, he not only made history as the first medal winner from South America at a Winter Olympics, but also rewrote the definition of what a Brazilian athlete could be.
The 2026 Games in northern Italy have delivered emotional firsts over the past two days for countries that are less than winter sports powerhouses. Figure skater Mikhail Shaidorov, 21, of Kazakhstan, finished first in the men’s competition Friday, securing in dramatic fashion his country’s first gold medal in the sport over favorites from the United States and Japan.
Pinheiro Braathen, 25, completed his victory run Saturday and collapsed onto the snow at the bottom of the ski course in the town of Bormio, quieting an army of spectators from neighboring Switzerland, whose skiers have otherwise dominated the men’s downhill races. He danced and shed tears as the outnumbered but boisterous Brazil fans waved flags and cheered.
“I don’t know how to put into words what I’m feeling right now,” Pinheiro Braathen told Brazilian television network Globo moments after his win. “To everyone watching in Brazil, following me and cheering for me, I hope this can be a source of inspiration for the next generation of children. Nothing is impossible. It doesn’t matter where you come from, your clothes or the color of your skin.”
Shaidorov’s triumph in figure skating the night before was not quite as historic — Kazakhstan won a Winter Games gold medal 32 years ago in cross-country skiing — but perhaps just as unexpected. He skated a flawless program and then watched as more celebrated competitors, including American Ilia Malinin, stumbled under the Olympic spotlight.
Still, few victories at these Games have been as momentous as the one for Brazil, a country so defined by its achievement in a single sport — soccer — that many fans who turned out to cheer on Pinheiro Braathen wore the canary yellow Brazilian soccer jersey.
Brazil’s president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, said on the social platform X that Pinheiro Braathen would “forever be etched into the history of Brazilian sport.”

Protesters chant, sing outside Broadview ICE facility, plan recurring Saturday demonstrations
Around 50 people attended a peaceful rally Saturday outside the Broadview Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing center, which became a focal point for protests last fall during Operation Midway Blitz, a 64-day surge of immigration enforcement raids throughout Chicago and surrounding suburbs.
“It’s fitting to be here on Valentine’s Day,” Little Village community organizer Jasmine said to the crowd. “Happy Valentine’s Day to everybody except (expletive) ICE.”
Jasmine, who chose to be identified only by their first name for fear of being doxxed, was among several speakers who gathered Saturday outside the west suburban facility to protest recent federal enforcement actions.
“Even though fear is at times more present than joy, there is unity across national lines,” Jasmine said. “We are fighting alongside our immigrant working-class siblings from around the world.”
Saturday’s demonstration came during a nationwide effort by young people to protest ICE. On Friday afternoon, hundreds of students walked out of their schools and gathered in downtown’s Federal Plaza to advocate for immigrant communities.
Ian, who also chose to go by his first name, is part of an autonomous group that organizes regular protests against ICE. He has attended demonstrations in Broadview since September and served as the rally’s emcee.
“I am tired of having to decide between spending time with my children or fighting to make sure this country is still a safe place for them to grow up,” Ian said to the crowd.
Ian and other organizers said they plan to hold recurring protests outside the Broadview facility every Saturday at noon. Information is shared through the Chicago organizing and mutual aid social media page, @chicago_fights_back on Instagram.
“I can’t sleep because when I close my eyes, I see the 6-year-old girl I watched at the former Lexington (St.) care tent while her mom attempted to deliver diabetes medication to her father at the facility,” Ian said. “I see Silverio (Villegas González), I see Keith (Porter Jr), I see Renee (Nicole Good) and I see Alex (Pretti).”
All four are among those who have died at the hands of ICE.
Between speakers, the Songs for Liberation Protest Music Collective performed “Abolish ICE.” Those familiar with the song sang along, and others joined in as they learned the lyrics. “This is for our people who are locked inside, together we will abolish ICE,” the crowd sang. “This is for our workers who are forced to hide. Together we will abolish ICE.”
“The U.S. is funding these atrocities. That’s why we ain’t gonna stop, til Broadview is free!”
As the crowd sang, protesters held signs aloft. Among them was Ryan Hatfield, 40, and his wife, who carried a heart-shaped Valentine’s candy-style sign reading “F**K ICE.”
The couple said they chose to spend Valentine’s Day in Broadview out of frustration with what Hatfield described as a federal crackdown on people who “made this country great.”
“I want to see ICE out of Chicago, out of our cities,” Hatfield said. “I want to see them doing what they initially said they were going to do, which is cracking down on people that are, you know, the worst criminals. Not people dropping their kids off in daycare, not people working jobs, trying to provide for their families and not committing crimes.”
Earlier this week, Cook County prosecutors dropped charges against 19 people arrested during a clergy-led protest at the Broadview facility last November. Faith leaders had sought to provide religious counseling to detainees but were denied entry. Clashes with local law enforcement followed, and 21 people were arrested. Most cases have been dismissed, though two people still face charges.
Isaac Palmer, 24, one of the first protesters to arrive Saturday, carried a megaphone and wore a Captain America shield with a matching shirt.
“First, they came to our area,” Palmer said, referencing federal agents. “They were picking up a lot of people simply based on the color of their skin.”
Though he appeared to be the only superhero-themed protester at Saturday’s rally, Palmer said he has seen others dressed as comic book characters at past demonstrations.
“This isn’t like the comic books where the villains are pretend,” Palmer said. “We’re fighting real injustice.”

A atletas olímpicos les prometen más condones en San Valentín tras escasez en villas
Associated Press
MILÁN (AP) — En el Día de San Valentín en los Juegos Olímpicos de Milán-Cortina, los organizadores prometieron un suministro renovado de preservativos gratuitos para las villas de los atletas después de que se agotaran durante la semana.
El comité organizador italiano afirmó en un comunicado el sábado: “Podemos confirmar que las existencias de preservativos en las Villas Olímpicas se agotaron temporalmente debido a una demanda mayor de la prevista. Se están entregando suministros adicionales y se distribuirán en todas las villas entre hoy y el lunes”.
Proporcionar preservativos a los atletas ha sido un obsequio de los organizadores —y una fascinación constante para el mundo— durante décadas.
Aunque se proporcionaron 300.000 preservativos para más de 10.500 atletas en los Juegos de Verano de París 2024, el stock original era mucho menor para estos Juegos de Invierno.
El portavoz del Comité Olímpico Internacional, Mark Adams, comentó el sábado: “Creo que se han usado 10.000 con 2.800 atletas —saquen sus conclusiones. Está claro que el Día de San Valentín está en pleno apogeo en la villa”.
Los reportes de que no había preservativos en la primera semana de los juegos se produjeron después de la ausencia de peluches de las mascotas oficiales, Milo y Tina, en los primeros días. Resultaron más populares de lo esperado en las tiendas oficiales de mercancía de los Juegos Olímpicos.
La esquiadora alpina Mialitiana Clerc señaló el sábado que, tradicionalmente, los preservativos son populares entre los atletas olímpicos para llevárselos a casa “como una especie de regalo” para los amigos.
Clerc, quien también compitió por Madagascar hace cuatro años en los Juegos de Invierno en China, expresó: “No me sorprende tanto. Ya lo vi en Beijing. Había algunas cajas con muchos preservativos en la entrada de cada edificio donde nos alojábamos en la villa”.
“Cada día, todo estaba agotado”, recordó el sábado en una conferencia de prensa del COI para promover su programa de becas, que ayuda a cientos de atletas a entrenar y clasificarse para los Juegos Olímpicos.
Clerc añadió: “Ya sé que mucha gente está usando algunos preservativos o simplemente se los lleva para dárselos a sus amigos fuera de los Juegos Olímpicos porque es una especie de regalo para ellos”.
No debería haber más escasez en Italia hasta la ceremonia de clausura de los Juegos de Invierno el 22 de febrero.
El comité organizador local indicó: “Se repondrán de manera continua hasta el final de los juegos para garantizar la disponibilidad”.

Judge Weighs Whether To Block Vaccines Changes From CDC, RFK Jr.
Judge Weighs Whether To Block Vaccines Changes From CDC, RFK Jr.
Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times,
A federal judge weighing whether to block changes to U.S. vaccine guidance and an advisory panel did not immediately rule Feb. 13 after hearing from attorneys representing medical groups and the government.
Lawyers for the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine and other groups told U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy during a hearing at the federal courthouse in Boston that recent changes to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s vaccine schedule and the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel violate federal law and will reduce vaccination rates.
“This is a clear and present danger to public health,” said James Oh, a lawyer for the groups.
Oh said the schedule update, which removed the broad recommendation for six childhood vaccines for diseases including rotavirus, influenza and hepatitis A, “set off alarms” in the medical community and occurred without any rational explanation from the agency.
The CDC on Jan. 5, with backing from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., narrowed the number of vaccines routinely recommended by the childhood schedule.
Government officials said in filings that the the reasoning behind the change was in part due to an assessment carried out by senior health officials that analyzed the U.S. childhood schedule against schedules from other countries.
“The U.S. is a global outlier among peer nations in the number of target diseases included in its childhood vaccination schedule and in the total number of recommended vaccine doses,” the officials, Drs. Tracy Beth Hoeg and Martin Kulldorff, concluded.
The plaintiffs, which also include several women who say changes under Kennedy have prevented them from receiving vaccines, are challenging a series of actions. They focused on arguments for and against imposing an injunction blocking that update and the health secretary’s remaking of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee.
Oh said that the committee is not fairly balanced because it is dominated by people who oppose vaccines, in violation of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, and urged Murphy to block the committee’s upcoming Feb. 26–27 meeting.
Government lawyers said in a recent brief that the advisory committee members have a variety of employment histories and that the accusation they are anti-vaccine “does not accurately represent the members’ complex and nuanced perspectives and their committee voting records.”
Murphy asked during the hearing whether he could consider the “broader public health impacts” of the changes in vaccine recommendations while weighing the case.
Department of Justice lawyer Isaac Belfer told him health officials were not pursuing an anti-vaccine agenda and welcomed “spirited debate about vaccine policy.”
But he said the Department of Health and Human Services had broad authority to change policy to address a decline in public trust in vaccines following the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The court cannot substitute its judgment in place of the agency,” Belfer said.
Murphy did not immediately rule.
With the meeting upcoming, he said he “must make a decision in this case on an uncomfortably tight timeline.”

Cops: Boy, 17, killed in Logan Square home
A 17-year-old boy was fatally shot inside a home in the Logan Square neighborhood on Saturday, according to Chicago police.
The teen was in a bedroom inside a home in the 1900 block of North St. Louis Avenue near the 606 running trail when he was shot in the head at around 1:30 pm, police said.
The victim was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The teen’s identity wasn’t immediately released, but the Cook County medical examiner’s office confirmed the death. An autopsy is scheduled for Sunday.
Police gave no information on the gunman. Grand Central Area detectives were conducting a homicide investigation, but gave no information on arrests, police said.

US, Iran to hold new round of nuclear talks in Geneva this week, Swiss government says
GENEVA — Iran and the United States will hold a second round of talks over Tehran’s nuclear program next week, the Swiss Foreign Ministry said Saturday.
Oman, which welcomed the first round of indirect talks on Feb. 6, will host the talks in Geneva, the Swiss ministry said, without specifying which days.
After the first discussions, U.S. President Donald Trump warned Tehran that failure to reach an agreement with his administration would be “very traumatic.”
Similar talks last year broke down in June as Israel launched what became a 12-day war on Iran that included the U.S. bombing Iranian nuclear sites.
Trump has repeatedly threatened to use force to compel Iran to agree to constrain its nuclear program. Iran has said it would respond with an attack of its own. Trump also has threatened Iran over its deadly crackdown on recent nationwide protests there.
Gulf Arab nations have warned any attack could spiral into another regional conflict.
Trump said Friday the USS Gerald R. Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, was being sent from the Caribbean to the Mideast to join other military assets the U.S. has built up in the region. He also said a change in power in Iran “would be the best thing that could happen.”
The indirect talks on Feb. 6 were between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and U.S. Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff. The top military commander in the Middle East was also present for the first time.
The Trump administration has maintained that Iran can have no uranium enrichment under any deal. Tehran says it won’t agree to that.
Iran has insisted its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. However, its officials increasingly threaten to pursue a nuclear weapon. Before the June war, Iran had been enriching uranium up to 60% purity, a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said his nation is “ready for any kind of verification.” However, the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, has been unable for months to inspect and verify Iran’s nuclear stockpile.
Trump has suggested in recent weeks that his top priority is for Iran to scale back its nuclear program. Iran has said it wants talks to focus solely on the nuclear program.
But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who met with Trump in Washington this week, has pressed for any deal to include steps to neutralize Iran’s ballistic missile program and end its funding for proxy groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah.

EEUU e Irán dialogarán en Ginebra sobre el programa nuclear iraní, informa Suiza
GINEBRA (AP) — Irán y Estados Unidos llevarán a cabo una segunda ronda de conversaciones sobre el programa nuclear de Teherán la próxima semana, informó el Departamento Federal de Relaciones Exteriores de Suiza el sábado.
Omán, que acogió la primera ronda de conversaciones indirectas el 6 de febrero, será el anfitrión del diálogo en Ginebra, indicó el ministerio suizo, sin precisar qué días.
Tras las primeras conversaciones, el presidente estadounidense Donald Trump le advirtió a Teherán que el no alcanzar un acuerdo con su gobierno sería “muy traumático”.
Conversaciones similares el año pasado se vinieron abajo en junio, cuando Israel lanzó lo que se convirtió en una guerra de 12 días contra Irán que incluyó el bombardeo por parte de Estados Unidos de instalaciones nucleares iraníes.
Trump ha amenazado repetidamente con usar la fuerza para obligar a Irán a aceptar restricciones a su programa nuclear. El gobierno iraní ha dicho que respondería con un ataque propio. El mandatario estadounidense también ha amenazado a Teherán por su letal represión de las recientes protestas a nivel nacional en el país.
Naciones árabes del Golfo Pérsico han advertido que cualquier ataque podría derivar en otro conflicto regional.
Trump indicó el viernes que el Gerald R. Ford —el portaaviones más grande del mundo— estaba siendo enviado del Caribe a Oriente Medio para sumarse a otros recursos militares que Estados Unidos ha acumulado en la región. También sostuvo que un cambio de poder en Irán “sería lo mejor que podría pasar”.
Las conversaciones indirectas del 6 de febrero fueron entre el canciller iraní Abbas Araghchi y el enviado de Washington para Oriente Medio, Steve Witkoff. El principal comandante militar estadounidense en Oriente Medio también estuvo presente por primera vez.
El gobierno de Trump ha sostenido que el gobierno iraní no puede enriquecer uranio bajo ningún acuerdo. Teherán afirma que no aceptará eso.
Irán ha insistido en que su programa nuclear tiene fines pacíficos. Sin embargo, sus funcionarios amenazan cada vez más con intentar desarrollar un arma nuclear. Antes de la guerra de junio, Teherán había estado enriqueciendo uranio hasta una pureza del 60%, lo cual se ubica a sólo un breve paso técnico de los niveles aptos para producir armas.
El presidente iraní, Masoud Pezeshkian, ha dicho que su nación está “lista para cualquier tipo de verificación”. Sin embargo, la entidad de Naciones Unidas para el control nuclear, el Organismo Internacional de Energía Atómica, no ha podido inspeccionar y verificar las reservas nucleares de Irán desde hace meses.
En las últimas semanas, Trump ha planteado que su máxima prioridad es que Teherán reduzca su programa nuclear. El gobierno iraní ha dicho que quiere que las conversaciones se centren únicamente en dicho programa.
Pero el primer ministro israelí Benjamin Netanyahu, que se reunió con Trump en Washington esta semana, ha presionado para que cualquier acuerdo incluya medidas para neutralizar el programa de misiles balísticos de Irán y poner fin a su financiación de grupos aliados como Hamás y Hezbollah.
