(CNN Español) — El presidente de Argentina, Alberto Fernández, dio un discurso este martes ante el pleno de la Asamblea General de la ONU, donde apuntó contra el FMI y, en general, contra “la ingeniería financiera internacional”. “Es hora de promover la justicia social en el mundo”, dijo el primer mandatario.Fernández indicó que “el sistema financiero internacional no demuestra voluntad de adaptarse a un mundo que requiere la equidad que ha perdido, por el contrario, solo busca imponer las mismas políticas ortodoxas que profundizaron la desigualdad y la miseria que vive el mundo”.Además, señaló a los organismos internacionales de crédito de apostar “a la especulación antes que al desarrollo”, de propiciar “la mano de hora barata antes que la dignidad del trabajo”.“El FMI no puede subir sus intereses cada vez que al Reserva Federal de Estados Unidos sube sus tasas para contener la inflación de su país”, sen...UCLA’s D’Anton Lynn is among the first-year coordinators making a quick impact in the Pac-12

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Going back to school has proved to be the right decision for D’Anton Lynn and UCLA.Lynn is in his first season in Westwood as the defensive coordinator after spending his entire coaching career in the NFL. Even though this is his first time leading a defense, Lynn has the 22nd-ranked Bruins playing at a high level as they begin conference play Saturday with a pivotal road contest against No. 11 Utah.The game is one of three Pac-12 matchups between ranked teams, the first time in conference history that has happened. The others are No. 19 Colorado visiting 10th-ranked Oregon and No. 14 Washington State at No. 21 Washington State. It is the second straight week the Pac-12 has had eight teams in The Associated Press Top 25.“It was hard to leave Baltimore, but one thing (Ravens coach John Harbaugh) told me was never turn down an opportunity for growth,” said Lynn, who was with the Ravens for two seasons. “I was going to get a chance to call plays and grow as a coach. ...Chicago Blackhawks to play without a captain this season

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Blackhawks will not have a captain this season.General manager Kyle Davidson made the announcement on Tuesday. Jonathan Toews captained the team for almost 15 years, but he played his last game with the team in April.“I think we’ve added a lot of experienced leaders, but we’re looking for the collective to find that leadership capability and not just the players that will end up wearing letters on their sweater,” Davidson said. “We’re looking for everyone to step up as we enter the year.”Davidson said Chicago will have a group of alternate captains. That group will be announced later in training camp, which begins this week.The rebuilding Blackhawks are looking for progress after finishing last in the Central Division with a 26-49-7 record.

Chicago White Sox reliever Garrett Crochet is looking to end what he called a “long” and “grueling” process on a good note.The left-hander, currently on the injured list as he makes his way back from left shoulder inflammation, is with the club during their final road trip of the season.Depending on how an upcoming bullpen session goes, there’s a chance he’ll be reinstated and back on a big-league mound soon.“(I’m) glad to get out here at the end of the year healthy and hoping to finish strong,” Crochet said Monday at Nationals Park.Manager Pedro Grifol said a bullpen session is likely Wednesday.“We’ll see what happens,” Grifol said Tuesday. “What his role will be (in a return), we’ll give him an inning and we’ll let him recover.

A coalition of residents from neighborhoods surrounding Franklin Park is calling on the Boston Medical Center to halt its plans to redevelop Shattuck Hospital into a multifaceted campus featuring clinical services, emergency shelters and permanent supportive housing.Instead, the Coalition for Region-Wide Services Beyond Franklin Park says there needs to be a statewide and more decentralized, community-based approach to helping those facing homelessness and substance abuse.“There is no doubt from anyone’s perspective that services are needed for community members, or family members, from all over Massachusetts and in Boston who have these challenges. It’s very apparent,” said Karen Mauney-Brodek, President of the Emerald Necklace Conservancy.“The state never looked at other alternatives to evaluate whether or not the Shattuck site was the best site. It was an assumed site,” Mauney-Brokey told the Herald on Tuesday, before the coalition of concerned community members gathered outside ...Water rate hike approved in San Diego

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Democrats will retain their one-vote majority in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives after voters in Pittsburgh on Tuesday elected former congressional aide Lindsay Powell.Powell’s victory gives Democrats a 102-101 majority in the House. Republicans have a 28-22 majority in the Senate, creating a divided Legislature that has kept Democrats from passing priorities such as broadened protections for LGBTQ+ people and gun control measures and Republicans from wins on issues including school vouchers.The divided Legislature has also meant Republican senators have been unable to take to voters proposed constitutional amendments limiting the governor’s power and implementing voter ID.Most recently the division has mired the state in a two-month budget stalemate after negotiations soured over education funding, in part because of the voucher debate.Powell identified affordable and dignified housing, a strong local economy and community assets such as robust recr...Latest news
