(CNN) — El derrumbamiento de la represa de Nova Kakhovka, en el sur de Ucrania, desató el temor a una catástrofe ecológica. El presidente de Ucrania, Volodymyr Zelensky, describió la situación como “una bomba medioambiental de destrucción masiva”.El nivel del agua seguía subiendo este miércoles después de que la presa y central hidroeléctrica ocupadas por Rusia quedaran destruidas a primera hora de este martes, lo que obligó a más de 1.400 personas a abandonar sus hogares y amenazó el suministro vital de agua, ya que las inundaciones anegaron pueblos, ciudades y tierras de cultivo.Kyiv y Moscú han intercambiado acusaciones sobre la destrucción de la presa, sin aportar pruebas concretas de la culpabilidad de la otra parte. Aún no está claro si la presa fue atacada deliberadamente o si la rotura se debió a un fallo estructural.Zelensky, sin embargo, dijo que Rusia tiene “responsabilidad penal” y que los fiscales ucranianos están investigando el incidente ...Pope Francis arrives at Rome’s Gemelli hospital for intestinal surgery due to take place later Wednesday

Hot dogs are oftentimes considered a staple of summer cookouts. But is there a superior dog among the wide swath of brands offered at the grocery store?Known for its product comparison, the website Consumer Reports released its ranking of hot dog brands earlier this month.Having a catchy jingle didn’t sway the judges — who rated the hot dogs based on how snappy, juicy, flavorful and smooth the meat was both with and without toppings.Read on to see what brand is the top dog:1. Nathan’s Famous Skinless Beef FranksComing in at the top of the list, Nathan’s is one of the oldest hot dog companies in America. Besides its ability to stand the test of time, Consumer Reports’ Paul Hope called it the “Goldilocks of hot dogs: crisp skin, subtle spice, uniform texture, and juicy.”The dogs provided a snap, the report said, despite being skinless. It went well with toppings — though its flavor can hold its own.A drawback, the hot dog split during the cooking test.2.

In a bid to help protect the environment, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, ordered a ban on plastic bags at grocery stores on Monday night.It joins a growing numbers of counites in the D.C. region to enact bans on single-use plastic bags.Starting in January 2024, grocery shoppers in the Anne Arundel County must either bring their own reusable bags or pay 10 cents each for paper bags. Restaurants are exempt from the ban.Proponents of the bill that passed Monday said the ban is especially important because the county has 550 miles of shoreline that can become fouled by plastic bag waste. Disposable plastic bags are often blamed for trapping fish, birds and other wildlife.Prince George’s County Council gave preliminary approval in May and is expected to provide final approval later this month on a similar ban on plastic bags.Plastic bags are also banned in Laurel and Takoma Park.Montgomery County grocery shoppers currently pay a 5-cent tax on each plastic bag used at grocery, conve...Unlikely Champions League finalist Inter Milan out to upset Manchester City

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — With its massive spending power, Manchester City’s run to the Champions League final has hardly come as a surprise.The same cannot be said for Inter Milan, City’s opponent on Saturday in Istanbul.While Inter is one of European soccer’s most storied teams, it enters the game as an outsider, having somewhat surprisingly reached the final. After all, Inter is the third best team in Italy, a league that has long-since lost its shine after being considered the ultimate destination for the world’s best players in the 1990s.Inter finished the season 18 points behind league champion Napoli, the team many expected to go far before losing to AC Milan in the quarterfinals.Inter went on to beat its city rival in the semifinals to advance to the final of European club soccer’s elite competition for the first time in 13 years.To put that achievement into context, this was the first time it had even been in the quarterfinals since 2011, when...Hospitalizan de nuevo al papa Francisco, será operado por un intenso dolor abdominal
