Venezuela health workers get first payment from funds frozen in U.S., Guaido says

Image
Venezuelan health workers have started receiving $100 monthly payments financed by funds that the United States seized from the government of President Nicolas Maduro, opposition leader Juan Guaido said on Saturday. The U.S. Treasury Department in August approved the use of the funds to help Venezuela's health personnel on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19 amid a hyperinflationary economic crisis. Venezuela's information ministry did not immediately reply to a request for comment. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/3h9BJDc via Latest News

Mexico says 122,765 extra people died during pandemic in 'excess deaths' study

Image
Mexico has recorded 122,765 deaths more than would be expected during the pandemic up to August, the health ministry said on Saturday in a report on excess mortality rates, suggesting Mexico's true coronavirus toll could be much higher. Mexico has recorded 67,326 confirmed coronavirus deaths and 629,409 cases, the world's fourth highest death toll from the virus that has infected more than 26 million people around the globe. Mexico's government has often said the real number of infected people is likely to be significantly higher than the confirmed cases due to the low levels of testing. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2Zc3a9d via Latest News

Atlantic basin expected to become 'quite active' this week

Image
Following the dissipation of Omar, the Atlantic basin will pick up right where it left off in this record-setting season, with several features being monitored for tropical development this week."The eastern Atlantic is going to become quite active during the next few days," AccuWeather Hurricane Expert Dan Kottlowski said. One area being monitored is a broad low pressure system located over 1,000 miles to the west of the Cabo Verde Islands. The National Hurricane Center has designated this low as Invest 92L, indicating that this feature has the potential for tropical development."As 92L tracks to the west early this week, it will be within an area of relatively light wind shear and warm water, which should allow it to become better organized and develop into a tropical depression, then tropical storm," Kottlowski said.CLICK HERE FOR THE FREE ACCUWEATHER APPThe system will track generally to the west or west-northwest across the Atlantic and may pass close to or jus...

Coronavirus rising in 22 U.S. states

Image
As little as three weeks ago, cases were increasing in only three states, Hawaii, Illinois and South Dakota, according to an analysis comparing cases for the two-week period of Aug. 8-22 with the past two weeks. On a percentage basis, South Dakota had the biggest increase over the past two weeks at 126%, reporting over 3,700 new cases. Health officials have linked some of the rise to hundreds of thousands of motorcyclists who descended on Sturgis, South Dakota, for an annual rally in August. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2GxM2Et via Latest News

California wildfire traps campers in national forest

Image
Three fast-spreading California wildfires sent people fleeing Saturday, with one trapping campers at a reservoir in the Sierra National Forest, as a brutal heat wave pushed temperatures into triple digits in many parts of state. The wildfire burning near Shaver Lake exploded to 56 square miles (145 square kilometers), jumped a river and compromised the only road into the Mammoth Pool Campground, national forest spokesman Dan Tune said. At least 2,000 structures were threatened in the area about 290 miles (467 kilometers) north of Los Angeles, where temperatures in the city's San Fernando Valley reached 117 degrees. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/320ickh via Latest News

Mexico's largest cartel 'arming consumer drones with explosives' in turf war

Image
Mexico's fastest growing drug cartel has developed drones laden with C4 explosives in the latest sign the country is losing control of an escalating cartel warfare. Fears are growing that the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) are morphing into narco terrorism as Mexico deals with a bloody battle for territory and drug supply routes into the US. Mexico’s General Attorney’s Office reported finding drones and the components needed to weaponise them during a search and seizure operation, and is now pursuing terrorism charges against the fast rising CJNG. CJNG split off from the Sinaloa Cartel, belonging to now-US prisoner Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman, around 2010, and today it has expanded its territorial control over nearly the entire country in an escalating wave of violence with rival organisations. While both Mexico and the United States have actively arrested and extradited hundreds of cartel members and leaders, over the years the strategy has only caused cartels to fragm...
