Una familia japonesa dice que un joven médico se quitó la vida tras trabajar 200 horas extra en un solo mes

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:06:35 GMT

(CNN) — La familia de un médico japonés de 26 años que se suicidó el año pasado tras trabajar más de 200 horas extraordinarias en un solo mes pidió un cambio en un país que lleva mucho tiempo plagado de una cultura del exceso de trabajo.Takashima Shingo trabajaba como médico residente en un hospital de la ciudad de Kobe cuando se quitó la vida el pasado mes de mayo, según la cadena pública NHK.Según los abogados de la familia, Takashima había trabajado más de 207 horas extraordinarias en el mes anterior a su muerte, y no se había tomado ni un día libre en tres meses, informó la NHK.El hospital, el Centro Médico Konan, negó esas acusaciones en una rueda de prensa la semana pasada. Pero en junio, el organismo gubernamental de inspección laboral dictaminó que su muerte había sido un incidente laboral debido a sus largas jornadas de trabajo, según la NHK, lo que pone de manifiesto la inmensa presión a la que están sometidos los trabajadores sanitarios.Según el Ministerio de Sanida...

Get ready to tailgate: A dream road trip to see every AP Top 25 team this season

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:06:35 GMT

AP’s dream college football road trip is back, starting earlier than ever before.To recap: The goal here is to map out a schedule of games worth traveling to during the upcoming season — with only two rules. First, we must see every team in the AP’s preseason Top 25 at least once. And second, the travel between games must be reasonable in the time available. Long drives are OK, but if you’re at a night game in Oregon, you’re not getting to SEC country for an 11 a.m. kickoff the next day.Safe travels!GAME 1: No. 13 Notre Dame vs. Navy (Aug. 26)Might as well start at the very beginning with the first FBS game of the entire season — in Dublin, Ireland. Brian Newberry coaches his first game after taking over at Navy following the firing of Ken Niumatalolo.GAME 2: No. 17 TCU vs. Colorado (Sept. 2)Hopefully the jet lag has worn off because Week 1 will be the toughest travel schedule of the trip. It begins with Deion Sanders’ debut as Colorado’s coach — on the...

In a report cosigned by D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Office of the State Superintendent of Education, the District’s public schools’ latest statewide assessment numbers showed students made gains in both English and math.So, how did students do?Overall, the city’s public schools’ third through 12th grade students experienced a 2.6% gain in math and a 2.9% gain in English, according to results from the spring 2023 assessment.A third of students — 33.6% — are “meeting or exceeding expectations” in English and 21.8% of students achieved that same mark in math.The report noted that while no statewide assessments were given to students in 2020 or 2021, this year’s results remain lower than the 2019 results, alluding to the assumption that the shift to virtual learning during the pandemic harmed student achievement and is reflected in the results.The assessment ranks student’s academic achievements against the District’s “rig...

Ukraine revels in Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin’s demise

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:06:35 GMT

KYIV — Wagner mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin’s death in a Russian jet crash has been greeted in Ukraine with dark humor and jubilation.“I am thrilled that people who killed or were responsible for killing thousands of Ukrainians have died. And they will no longer kill any Ukrainian, nor will they escape punishment, which would be very likely if they survived,” Ukrainian media expert Otar Dovzhenko told POLITICO.Many others reacted with memes and sarcastic comments, after the fiery plane crash which apparently killed Prigozhin and a number of his top Wagner lieutenants.“Well, Prigozhin specifically asked to send him more weapons,” Ukrainian standup comedian Anton Tymoshenko joked in a Facebook post, connecting Prigozhin’s battlefield video demands for more weapons and one of the versions of what happened in the jet crash, that a Russian air defense missile shot it down.Prigozhin’s death was also widely cheered as a great present for Ukraine’s Indepen...

UK to confirm further delay to post-Brexit border checks

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:06:35 GMT

LONDON — The U.K. will next week confirm another delay to new post-Brexit border checks on food coming from the EU — the government’s fifth delay of the new regime.The Financial Times reported on Thursday morning that Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has signed off on the latest delay, due to fears that new red tape at the border will fuel inflation, and that the announcement could come as soon as later that day.A government official told POLITICO that there will not be an announcement Thursday, but indicated that the delay would be confirmed in an update from the Cabinet Office next week.Labour this week called the government’s handling of the issue“absolutely shambolic,” while business groups called for urgent clarity on the issue.The government’s latest plan was to roll out the first stage of Britain’s new border regime in October, with further stages implemented throughout 2024 that would see more checks on food and animal products entering the country from the EU.However, it ha...

How Moldova’s climate plans are entangled with separatists and Russian troops

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:06:35 GMT

Moldova wants to introduce its own carbon tax to keep pace with the European Union’s climate legislation — but the effort is creating tensions with its Russian-backed breakaway region of Transnistria, home to most of the country’s heavy industry.The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Measure (CBAM) is a border tax aimed at keeping bloc’s companies competitive by ensuring that rivals also pay a carbon price. It targets six carbon-intensive sectors highly exposed to international trade: aluminum, cement, iron and steel, electricity, hydrogen and fertilizers. Its transitional phase launches on October and goes fully into effect in 2026.That’s a big potential problem for Moldova, and especially Transnistria, which is a large exporter of iron and steel to the EU. A study by Carnegie Europe found the CBAM would “most likely lead to unemployment and reduced wages” and could put up to 2 percent of Moldova̵...
