(CNN Español) — A partir de este sábado 1 de julio, los pasaportes cubanos que se emitan tendrán una vigencia de 10 años para los mayores de 16 años, y de 5 años para los menores de esa edad.Hasta ahora, los mayores de 16 recibían un pasaporte por 6 años, que se prorrogaba cada dos años, algo que también fue eliminado desde este mes.¿Tiene China una base espía en territorio cubano?Los cambios surgen del decreto publicado este viernes en La Gaceta Oficial de Cuba, que modifica el Reglamento de la Ley de Migración del país.El decreto también estipula que el arancel consular para la solicitud de pasaportes será de US$ 180 o euros para mayores 16 años, y de US$ 140 o euros para menores.El director de Asuntos Consulares de Cuba, Ernesto Soberón, dijo que estas acciones obedecen a la intención del gobierno “de continuar fortaleciendo vínculos con nuestros nacionales en el exterior”.The-CNN-Wire™ & © 2023 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

LONDON (AP) — Nathan Lyon has been on crutches since Thursday.

With him was resting 40-year-old England bowler Jimmy Anderson.“He asked, am I stupid? And I said, ‘Yes, but I may have to do a you and go to 40.’ He said, ‘If you keep loving the game and keep trying to get better there is no reason why you can’t,’ so that was a nice little moment with Jimmy.”When the time came to bat, the 35-year-old Lyon received a standing ovation from the packed Lord’s crowd.Australia wasn’t exactly desperate for the tailender at 264-9 in its second innings with a lead against England of...

Graham Rahal is back on the front row for an IndyCar race for the first time in four years.The son of 1986 Indy 500 winner and team owner Bobby Rahal nearly landed the pole at Mid-Ohio on Saturday, getting edged in the final seconds by Colton Herta, the last car remaining in the final six-minute round of qualifying. Herta posted a lap of 1 minute, 6.3096 seconds while Rahal stopped the clock in 1:06.3528 to cap a dominant performance by the Honda teams.Each of the six teams that made the final round of qualifying had Honda engines.“It’s a great time to get the Fifth Third Bank car up front and running well,” said Rahal, whose struggles this season — including a failure to land his Rahal Letterman Lanigan car in the Indianapolis 500 — have left his future with the team in question.“We’ve got a lot of laps tomorrow to keep it there,” Rahal said. “I’m so proud of everybody at RLL, the 15 car of course.

Impact of Supreme Court striking down Affirmative Action

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:47:15 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- The Supreme Court decided colleges and universities can no longer consider applicants' race during the admissions process, ending affirmative action policies that date back decades. Two separate rulings came to the same conclusion.Former U.S. Attorney for the District of Colorado Jason Dunn said the decision wasn’t a surprise. He told "Colorado Point of View" universities will have to change their admissions programs but said, “race can be a factor in which wholistically someone has looked at and evaluated whether or not race played a role in who they are as a person and their character.”He detailed what that could look like in a college admissions essay by describing, “how being a minority person shaped them, growing up in a certain neighborhood or something like that and changed their values and the way they think about the world. That’s certainly appropriate to talk about race that way.” What leaked Trump tape could mean for the classified documents case The ru...

An observatory in Antarctica reveals ‘ghostly’ new portrait of the Milky Way

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:47:15 GMT

(CNN) — For the first time, astronomers have assembled a glowing portrait of the Milky Way galaxy using cosmic “ghost particles” detected by a telescope embedded in Antarctica’s ice.Over the years, astronomers have showcased stunning images of the Milky Way through electromagnetic radiation from visible light or radio waves. But this is a new perspective of our galaxy based on particles of matter, rather than energy.The so-called ghost particles are neutrinos. These tiny, high-energy cosmic particles are often referred to as ghostly because they are extremely vaporous and can pass through any kind of matter without changing.The research was published Thursday in the journal Science.“I remember saying, ‘At this point in human history, we’re the first ones to see our galaxy in anything other than light,’” said study coauthor Naoko Kurahashi Neilson, associate professor of physics at Drexel University, in a statement reflecting on when she and two doctoral students initially ...

Orioles’ slump continues in 1-0 loss to Twins, spoiling Kyle Bradish’s gem as losing streak extends to 4

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:47:15 GMT

In front of their largest crowd since opening day, the Orioles had their worst offensive game of the season.With an announced attendance of 40,012 on Hawaiian shirt day, Baltimore continued its slump at the plate, totaling just three hits one day after managing only four. The poor performance at the plate spoiled another stellar start from Kyle Bradish, as Joey Gallo’s solo home run in the fourth inning was all the Minnesota Twins needed to win 1-0.Twins starter Bailey Ober pitched seven shutout innings, and Minnesota’s bullpen followed suit. The three hits the Orioles managed are the fewest they’ve totaled in any of their six shutout losses this year.One of their best scoring chances came in the ninth inning. Adley Rutschman reached on an infield single off closer Jhoan Duran, and Jorge Mateo pinch ran for the catcher and stole second. But Anthony Santander flied out to right fielder Max Kepler, who made a sliding catch in foul territory, and cleanup hitter Ryan O...
