Las 10 series más vistas de HBO en México durante esta semana

 

Las 10 series más vistas de HBO en México durante esta semana.



After a two-year hiatus, HBO’s Emmy-nominated original series House of the Dragon is returning for Season 2. The first episode will drop this Sunday, but what about the rest of the season? Here’s what to know about the House of the Dragon Season 2 release time, episode schedule, and more.

A prequel to HBO’s successful series Game of Thrones (taking place roughly 200 years before the original show), the fantasy drama is based on George R.R. Martin’s book “Fire & Blood.” Season 2 takes place after the death of Rhaenyra Targaryen’s (Emma D’Arcy) second-born son, Lucerys’ Luke’ Velaryon. King Aegon II sits on the Iron Throne after the usurpation, supported by Queen Dowager Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke). Now, the families are preparing for a violent war.

“The books are the foundation of where we’re going narratively, but things are tweaked,” Glynn-Carney, who plays King Aegon II Targaryen, teased of changes in Season 2 to Esquire. “It’s the bible, but it’s also not. The writers of our show are brilliant and should be given credit for their creation. George R. R. Martin should be given credit for his creation. But they’re not the same thing.”

Telegram founder Pavel Durov’s appearance in Kyrgyzstan sparks hopes of ski resort investment

 

Telegram founder Pavel Durov’s appearance in Kyrgyzstan sparks hopes of ski resort investment




Speculation that Russian billionaire Telegram founder Pavel Durov will invest in Kyrgyzstan’s initiative to create Central Asia’s largest ski resort—Three Peaks, to be designed by Societe Des Trois Vallees (S3V), the operator of the elite Courchevel ski resort in France—has been triggered by local reports that the entrepreneur arrived in the country’s mountainous Issyk-Kul region at the end of last week.

After social media users in Issyk-Kul reported encounters with the often elusive businessman—who fled Russia in 2013, saying he was under pressure from the Kremlin to share personal data of Ukrainian pro-democracy protesters—suggestions quickly mounted that his visit to Kyrgyzstan was linked with the creation of the “Kyrgyz Courchevel” resort in the mountains of Issyk-Kul.

Durov, founder of both the Telegram messenger service and social network VKontakte, with a fortune estimated at $15.5bn by Forbes, recently posted on social media that he planned to visit Central Asia, although he made no mention of involvement in Three Peaks.

He said: "I keep working, meeting with our [social network] users from unusual places. This summer I decided to visit Central Asia to see life there and study how people use Telegram and what are their digital needs."

A user of social media platform X, wrote that her mother encountered Durov in Petroglyphs Park in Cholpon-Ata. Durov was described by another social media user as in the company of Russian blogger  Gasan Guseinov, who shared photos from the Issyk-Kul mountain lake on his social media accounts.

On June 10, the head of Kyrgyzstan’s Cabinet of Ministers, Akylbek Japarov, told an investment forum in Vienna how the country will sell itself as a top eco-tourism destination, capitalising on the legendary Tian Shan Mountains (“Mountains of Heaven”) and the steppes of the Ancient Silk Road.

Said Japarov: “We are starting the construction of the ‘Kyrgyz Courchevel’. The French company S3V, one of the first operators of the world-famous resort in France, is implementing Three Peaks ski cluster in Kyrgyzstan. The plan is to lay about 200 kilometres [124 miles] of ski trails. The resort will operate all year round and will be able to receive up to 850,000 tourists annually.”

Japarov last week signed a decree on the creation of a Kyrgyz Courchevel state enterprise under the Department of Presidential Affairs. The first phase of investment in the project is expected to cost $165mn.

In France, S3V operates seven resorts in the “Three valleys”, namely Courchevel, Meribel and Val Thorens. They are all popular with the world’s jet set.

Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan have also developed skiing resorts on their territories in the Tian Shan, part of a Himalayan belt.

In preparation for his ultimately successful attempt at becoming the first man to climb Everest in 1953, legendary mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary scaled some Tian Shan peaks.

Kyrgyzstan also has plans to launch a second resort near Bishkek. It will boast a 20-kilometre funicular, which will operate in both winter and summer.

“In winter, this will be a unique opportunity to ski literally a 20-minute drive from the capital Bishkek. All technical structures will be built by Austrian company Doppelmayr,” Japarov told delegates at the Vienna gathering.

Kyrgyzstan’s hopes for a headline-catching expansion of tourism also depend on developing facilities around Issyk-Kul lake, the second largest mountain lake in the world behind Lake Titicaca on the border of Bolivia and Peru.

Also within easy reach of Bishkek, the lake has long been a popular tourist draw for hikers and campers with its trekking, horse-riding and sailing holidays.

Kazakhstan’s city of Almaty is a three day trek away through pristine mountains.

'Ley de Bases' and fiscal package: Senate approves RIGI, privatisations, delegation of powers

 

'Ley de Bases' and fiscal package: Senate approves RIGI, privatisations, delegation of powers




The vice president broke a 36-36 vote and the bill’s modifications will return to the lower house once individual chapters are discussed. 






“Today, we have two Argentinas,” Villarruel said as she cast her vote. “A violent Argentina that burns a car, throws stones, and debates the exercise of democracy,” she said, in reference to the protests that took place throughout the day outside Congress. 

“The other is that of workers, who hope with great pain that what they voted in November be respected. For those Argentines who suffer, who don’t want to see their children leave the country, my vote is affirmative.” 

Although approved as a whole, senators are set to vote on each individual chapter of the bill by midnight. A separate fiscal package was still being debated with no timeline for a vote at the time of writing: the session is expected to continue into the early hours of Thursday.

The controversial bill will now return to the lower house, which will vote on whether to approve the modifications.

If approved by deputies, the version of the bill approved by the senate becomes law. The Chamber of Deputies can also reject the changes approved by the senate, in which case the version originally approved by the lower house becomes law.

Nationwide cacerolazos erupted at 8 p.m. after protesters opposing the Ley Bases outside Congress were met with escalating repression tactics by multiple security forces throughout the day.  



The session

The session began minutes after 10 a.m. when 37 senators, the minimum number needed for quorum, took their seats. All PRO, La Libertad Avanza (LLA), and Unión Cívica Radical senators were present. Unón por la Patria (UxP) lawmakers and two senators from Santa Cruz province were the only ones absent, but later sat down after the session officially began.

The government agreed to make some crucial changes in order to get more support. LLA Senator Bartolomé Abdala, who is in charge of informing the state of the bills before the proper debate begins, announced that some highly contested articles would be modified or dropped.

The ruling coalition decided to eliminate an article that would have ended a pension moratorium that allowed people of retirement age who did not have the required 30 years of contributions the possibility of “purchasing” the number of years they lacked in order to retire.

They also left airline Aerolíneas Argentinas, mail company Correo Argentino and Radio y Televisión Argentina — an entity grouping state-owned media outlets — from the list of public companies to be privatized. Energy provider Energía Argentina and Intercargo — a company that provides airport boarding and baggage services — would still be completely privatized, while others, such as water-providing company AYSA, would be up for concession.

Public institutions related to culture, science, and technology would also be excluded from an article that allows Milei to eliminate or modify public entities.

UCR Senator Martín Lousteau, one of the few lawmakers whose vote is still unknown, criticized several aspects of the bills in his opening presentation. “There is almost nothing in these laws that could benefit the middle class, small and medium businesses, or pensioners,” he said. 

“Almost every part of the Ley Bases aims at building privilege for a small minority, defending the big fish and neglecting the week.” Lousteau proposed voting on an alternative final version of the bills’ texts that differs from the agreement reached two weeks ago in commissions.



Protests on the street

Thousands of people are protesting the bills outside Congress during the session. Unions and social movements tried to make their way to the Dos Congresos square carrying large banners amid the heavy mist that engulfed Buenos Aires in the early morning hours.

The Naval Police gassed demonstrators, among them journalists and Unión por la Patria deputies Eduardo Valdés, Carlos Castagnetto, Leopoldo Moreau, Juan Manuel Pedrini, Carolina Yutrovic, and Luis Basterra. The five of them were taken to the Santa Lucia Hospital.

The front of the square has been fenced down since early Wednesday. At around 8:30 a.m., Buenos Aires City police overseeing the situation were seen taking pictures of the banners. Several federal police cars were also parked in the streets surrounding the building.

Eva Loperena is a political and social activist from Movimiento Evita and was among the first dozen protesters to arrive in front of Congress. “Both the Ley Bases and [Milei’s] presidential decree deeply affect me and the movement I am part of. It represents a huge stepback in terms of labor rights,” she said. 

“The fact that foreign companies would be able to come here and not generate any revenue for Argentina is an atrocity,” she said, referencing the Incentive Framework for Large Investments (RIGI, by its Spanish initials) that would be created if the Ley Bases is approved.

The government, which this week marked six months in office without the passage of a single piece of legislation, faced demonstrations by unions and left-wing groups against the reform package outside the National Congress building as the upper house opened debate.

"The effort made by Argentines in these months is enormous, we hope [with this bill] to lay the foundations for progress," said ruling party senator Bartolomé Abdala (La Libertad Avanza-San Luis Province) in his opening speech.

If the nation’s senators approve the so-called ‘omnibus’ bill, which received the green light from the Chamber of Deputies in April, the text of the proposed legislation – which contains more than 200 articles and will be subjected to amendments – will return to the lower house for final approval.



The Legislative Assembly has been a far from happy hunting ground for Milei's La Libertad Avanza party, which is firmly in the minority in both chambers.

Milei’s ‘Ley de Bases’ bill is a much-reduced version of an original bill that contained more than 600 articles. That was withdrawn by the government back in February after it was heavily amended by the lower house. 

Argentina’s President responded angrily to that setback, describing Congress as a “rat’s nest,” and slamming its legislators and the nation’s provincial governors.

In the Senate, La Libertad Avanza holds just seven of the 72 seats. It needs 37 votes for the bill to be approved and currently has around 35 secured, thanks to the support of centre-right and right-wing senators. 

If the bill is rejected, Milei will have to wait at least a year to push it through again. Such an outcome would further weaken the President.

"For six months they have been discussing the 'Bases' law, which would have made the adjustment less painful, but politics doesn't care about that," Milei said on Wednesday at a forum in Buenos Aires.

He is due to depart Argentina shortly for a tour of Europe, during which he will attend the G7 Leaders Summit in Italy as a special invitee.

In recent weeks, Milei’s government has come under pressure due to developments at the Human Capital Ministry, which brings together four portfolios plus the ANSES social security administration.



Human Capital Minister Sandra Pettovello is under fire after the discovery of 5,000 tonnes of food that was being held in storage. The government refused to send food to soup kitchens and community kitchens, but backtracked after it emerged that some foodstocks were perishable.

This scandal occurs with Argentina in the grip of nearly 300 percent annualised inflation. Around half the population lives in poverty, consumption is falling and there has been a sharp drop in industrial activity.

Some experts say the President needs a political victory to offset the impact of the draconian fiscal austerity measures he has implemented since taking office last December.

"From the IMF [International Monetary Fund] to foreign investors, many actors say that, for Milei's proposal to be credible, laws from Congress are needed, agreements are needed, a more or less functioning state is needed," said Iván Schuliaquer, a political scientist at the University of San Martín in Buenos Aires Province.

The ‘Ley de Bases’ bill delegates extraordinary powers to the executive, includes a controversial incentive scheme for large investments and sets up around a dozen public companies for privatisation.

During the initial hours of debate on Wednesday, ruling party lawmakers indicated they would be willing to remove state airline Aerolíneas Argentinas, the Correo Argentino post office and Radio y Televisión Argentina from the list of state firms to be sold off in order to secure the bill’s passage.



Economy Minister Luis Caputo said on Tuesday that the law is "an accelerator, an enhancer of the recovery of the economic situation.”

The Senate will also debate a tax reform bill in parallel, which includes the reinstating of income tax on salaries and pensions.

Teachers and state employees have called a strike against the reform bill, while social organisations, political parties, trade unions, retirees and members of civil society have called for ongoing protests near Congress during the debate.

Both the ‘Ley de Bases’ bill and its accompanying fiscal package will be debated separately, with senators set to vote on them chapter-by-chapter.

The vote on the main bill is expected to take place late Wednesday night or in the early hours of Thursday morning...



Elon Musk threatens to ban iPhones and Macs at his companies...Apple


Elon Musk threatens to ban iPhones and Macs at his companies...Apple


Elon Musk’s threat to ban iPhones and Macs at Tesla and SpaceX concerns me. Not only does this seem extreme, but it also seems to go against the very nature of technology. Technology should be inclusive, not exclusive, and banning Apple products from the workplace does not seem like an inclusive move. I hope Elon Musk reconsiders this decision, as it seems to run counter to the spirit of innovation that is supposed to fuel these companies.




In a post to X Monday, the Tesla (TSLA) chief executive said he would ban Apple (AAPL) devices at his companies — which include SpaceX and X, among others — if the iPhone maker went ahead with its AI plans announced Monday. If Apple “integrates OpenAI at the (operating system) level,” Musk said that would constitute “an unacceptable security violation.” He added that visitors “will have to check their Apple devices at the door, where they will be stored in a Faraday cage,” referring to an enclosure that blocks electromagnetic waves crucial to communications, including cellular, wireless internet and Bluetooth signals. “Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI,” Musk said in a separate post. “They’re selling you down the river.” CNN has contacted Apple and OpenAI for comment. Musk’s comments came hours after Apple unveiled the partnership with OpenAI at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, part of a wider push to bring generative artificial intelligence tools to Apple products. Under a new “Apple Intelligence” system, AI will be used to produce a smarter Siri voice assistant and deliver more personalized tools to users. OpenAI’s technology will support some of these new tools — for example, allowing users to direct questions to ChatGPT via their Apple devices.

Apple CEO Tim Cook waves while speaking at an announcement of new products on the Apple campus in Cupertino, Calif., Monday, June 10, 2024. RELATED ARTICLE Everything Apple announced at its big AI event Greg Brockman, OpenAI president, said late Monday that ChatGPT would be integrated into Apple’s operating systems for iPhones, iPads and Mac computers. “We’re partnering with Apple to integrate ChatGPT right into iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. Will be available later this year, very excited!” he posted on X. Musk, who co-founded OpenAI in 2015, now runs a rival firm called xAI. He has a fraught relationship with his former company and its CEO Sam Altman and is suing them both for allegedly breaching OpenAI’s founding agreement and diverging from its nonprofit mission. OpenAI has in legal filings dismissed these claims as “frivolous,” “extraordinary” and “a fiction” and has separately suggested Musk is essentially jealous that he is no longer involved with the company, given its success. Given his track record of broken promises and wild threats, it remains to be seen whether Musk will follow through with a ban on Apple devices or perhaps even widen it to include other brands. For example, Alphabet’s (GOOGL) Google and Samsung have already integrated new AI features into Android devices. Microsoft, OpenAI’s biggest investor, announced three weeks ago that it would integrate AI features directly into Windows. So Musk’s employees may have limited options if he wants to ban rival AI — or even OpenAI — from his companies. But Microsoft, facing a backlash over privacy concerns, said Friday that it would turn off some AI features by default. “Apple’s AI approach is actually more privacy conscious than others, with its aim to process as much on the device as possible and with a fallback that explicitly asks users before sending information to OpenAI,” said Catherine Flick, professor of ethics and games technology at Staffordshire University in England.


<p>CNN's John Vause speaks to Mark Gurman, Chief Correspondent for Bloomberg News, about Apple's plans to bring A.I. to it's products and whether it can really uphold the standards of privacy it is promoting. </p> VIDEO RELATED VIDEO Apple’s ‘Apple Intelligence’ AI has an emphasis on privacy “It remains to be seen how that workflow ends up being used in practice, but this just feels like sour grapes from Musk who runs a competing AI company that was not given the lucrative Apple contract.” OpenAI has become one of the companies leading the development of generative AI. Apple, meanwhile, has lagged behind competitors, including Google and Microsoft (MSFT), which have moved more quickly to articulate an AI strategy. Apple’s partnership with OpenAI could help the iPhone maker close that gap and accelerate its move into a technology that holds enormous potential. “This is a key moment for Apple, which has struggled with innovation of late,” Matt Britzman, an equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, wrote in a note Tuesday. “Integrating a third-party tool like ChatGPT finally gets things moving, while leaving space to develop internal models over the next few years at much lower costs than the first movers.”

South Africa beat Bangladesh by 4 runs: T20 World Cup 2024 – as it happened..


South Africa edge Bangladesh by 4 runs in last over thriller..



Najmul Hossain Shanto of Bangladesh makes his way off after being dismissed during the ICC Men’s T20 Cricket World Cup West Indies & USA 2024 match between South Africa and Bangladesh at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium on 10 June, 2024 in New York
Najmul Hossain Shanto of Bangladesh makes his way off after being dismissed during the ICC Men’s T20 Cricket World Cup West Indies & USA 2024 match between South Africa and Bangladesh at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium on 10 June, 2024 in New York.


South Africa defeated Bangladesh by just four runs in another low-scoring game at the T20 World Cup on Monday, a result likely to spark fresh debate over the suitability of the pitch being used in New York.

South Africa were restricted to 113-6 in their 20 overs with Heinrich Klaasen top-scoring on 46 while fast bowler Tanzim Hasan Sakib returned a career-best 3-18.

However, Bangladesh could only manage 109-7 in reply as South Africa wrapped up a third win in three Group D games.



Chasing a modest target of 114 on the controversial drop-in pitch at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, Bangladesh initially found themselves in a tough spot against South Africa's formidable pace attack.


Their innings started shakily, reaching 50-4 by the 10-over mark. Kagiso Rabada claimed Tanzid Hasan's wicket for just nine runs, while Anrich Nortje dismissed skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto (14) and Shakib Al Hasan (three). Spinner Keshav Maharaj added to their woes by sending Liton Das back to the pavilion for a mere nine runs.


However, Towhid Hridoy, who had previously top-scored with 40 in Bangladesh's victory over Sri Lanka, and the experienced Mahmudullah stabilized the innings. Together, they forged a crucial 44-run partnership for the fifth wicket. Hridoy's knock of 37, featuring two fours and two sixes off 34 balls, ended when he fell lbw to Rabada.


With the pressure mounting, Bangladesh managed to take seven runs off the penultimate over but still required 11 off the final over bowled by Maharaj. The chase boiled down to seven runs needed from four balls. Under intense pressure, both Jaker Ali and Mahmudullah attempted big shots but were caught in the deep.


Requiring six runs off the final delivery, Taskin Ahmed could only muster a single, falling short of the target.




Earlier, Bangladesh's bowlers restricted South Africa to 113-6 after Proteas skipper Aiden Markram elected to bat first. Tanzim and Taskin led the bowling attack, with Taskin claiming 2-19. South Africa found themselves struggling at 23-4 before Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller staged a rescue effort, stitching together a crucial 79-run partnership for the fifth wicket.


Klaasen's aggressive 46 off 44 balls, supported by Miller's 29 off 38 deliveries, propelled South Africa to a competitive total. Despite the late flourish, South Africa's innings was marred by a collapse early on, triggered by Tanzim's early breakthroughs.


Overall, Bangladesh's valiant effort fell just short, as South Africa emerged victorious in a thrilling encounter.

USMNT FALLS 5-1 TO COLOMBIA IN COPA AMERICA PREPARATION
FRIENDLY

USMNT Looks to Bounce Back Against Brazil on June 12

LANDOVER, Md. (June 8, 2024) - The U.S. Men’s National team fell 5-1 to
Colombia in an international friendly in preparation for the 2024 Copa America. The attendance mark of 55,494 was the second-highest attendance ranking for a U.S. Soccer-controlled USMNT match in Washington, DC.

In preparation for the 2024 Copa America, the US Men’s National Team faced a challenging 5-1 defeat against Colombia in an international friendly held at Commanders Field in Landover, Md. Despite a spirited effort, Colombia's clinical finishing proved decisive, with goals from Jhon Arias and Rafael Santos Borré setting the tone early on.
The match, witnessed by a crowd of 55,494 spectators, showcased moments of promise for both teams. Despite a valiant effort from Tim Weah, who pulled one back for the USMNT in the 58th minute, Colombia's relentless attacking display sealed the victory. Notably, the Colombian side, under the guidance of manager Néstor Lorenzo, extended their unbeaten streak to an impressive 22 games. Despite moments of positivity, including a near miss from Folarin Balogun and a sharp header from Christian Pulisic, the USMNT was unable to match Colombia's clinical efficiency in front of goal. Despite late substitutions and a determined performance from goalkeeper Matt Turner, the USMNT ultimately succumbed to three quickfire goals from Richard Ríos, Jorge Carrascal, and Luis Sinisterra in the latter stages of the game.
With the focus now turning to their upcoming fixture against Brazil on June 12, the USMNT will be aiming to regroup and bounce back from this defeat as they continue their preparations for the Copa America.
