Cuba está pedindo ajuda, e EUA vão conversar com Havana, diz Trump

O presidente Donald Trump em coletiva de imprensa nesta segunda-feira (11) Foto AP/Jacquelyn Martin O presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, afirmou nesta terça-feira (12) que Cuba está "pedindo ajuda" e que seu governo "vai conversar" com a ilha caribenha. Trump também chamou o país de "fracassado". ✅ Siga o canal de notícias internacionais do g1 no WhatsApp "Nenhum [político] republicano jamais falou comigo sobre Cuba, que é um país fracassado e só está indo em uma direção — para baixo! Cuba está pedindo ajuda, e nós vamos conversar!!! Enquanto isso, estou indo para a China!", afirmou Trump em publicação na rede social Truth Social. O presidente norte-americano não deu mais detalhes sobre quando essas conversas ocorreriam com Havana, ou qual seria o teor delas. O governo cubano não havia confirmado a versão de Trump até a última atualização desta reportagem. A fala de Trump ocorre em meio a uma campanha de pressão contra Cuba, que inclui um bloqueio marítimo —que causou uma crise energética e humanitária na ilha— e ameaças de derrubar o governo com uma intervenção militar. A campanha de pressão tem alternado entre falas mais inflamatórias e moderadas nos últimos dias. Inclusive, a publicação de Trump dialoga com um anúncio na semana passada do secretário de Estado norte-americano, Marco Rubio, de que os EUA enviariam ajuda humanitária a Cuba. Segundo Rubio, Washington forneceu US$ 6 milhões (cerca de R$ 29,5 milhões) em ajuda humanitária a cubanos por meio da Igreja Católica, e outros US$ 100 milhões (R$ 490,5 milhões) ao governo cubano.

Rugby sevens star Kevin Wekesa: ‘I am not blaming Europeans but I must highlight climate injustices’

The Kenyan player has been recognised for his advocacy and grassroots work to tackle sport’s carbon footprint

“Most well-known people who talk about climate change are in North America and Europe,” says Kenyan rugby sevens star Kevin Wekesa, “but for us this is a very relevant conversation. It is not only about future tournaments or big international pledges. In Kenya, we see the effects in rising heat, cracked pitches and changing weather in communities where young athletes are growing up.”

A year before competing in his first Olympic Games at Paris 2024, Wekesa responded to Kenya’s relegation from the top tier of international sevens by offering free rugby coaching in schools across Kenya. After travelling to a school in Kirinyaga on the slopes of Mount Kenya, a wet and verdant region, Wekesa found an unplayable dry field and was forced to cancel the session. One of the students told Wekesa that conditions had been similar for two months, while another suggested the unfamiliar weather was because of climate change.

Chasing Utopia review – renegade Google exec Mo Gawdat searches for ethical AI in alarming insider warning

Delivering much information about the scale of what’s coming, documentary also follows Gawdat’s campaign to get the programs with empathy

Another day, another warning about AI; vis-a-vis the reality we all know, this has roughly the same reassuring effect as a plane fuselage ripping off mid-flight. Starting off with familiar criticisms, such as putting the world out of work and handing over power to tech barons, Alex Holmes and Lina Zilinskaite’s film blasts an concentrated stream of AI concerns in its 83-minute runtime. By the time it is talking about current efforts to create computers out of human brain cells, potentially integrable into our own craniums, and implying this might be a good thing, it is (ironically) hard to know how to process all of this.

The Cassandra at the film’s centre is Mo Gawdat, former chief business officer at Google X, now a touring cautionary voice trying to get the world to listen about the perils of AI. Once overseeing advanced projects for the tech giants, his biggest moonshot lies ahead: to introduce a moral dimension into a tech race that looks increasingly like the frenzied season finale of late capitalism. He talks about feeling parental pride in watching Google’s AI-driven robotic arms learn to grasp objects, as children do. And he feels that humanity’s capacity for benevolence is exactly the training resource needed by neural networks in order to prevent the technology ushering in catastrophe.

I’m vegetarian. How can I get enough iron? | Kitchen aide

The answer is probably more about absorption than quantity, say our panel of experts

I’ve been advised to increase the iron in my diet but, as a vegetarian preoccupied with getting sufficient protein, I’m at a loss.
June, by email
Last year, a study by Randox Health found that almost one in three women who attended its UK clinics have an iron deficiency, which is to say that June isn’t alone. Yes, there are good sources that vegetarians can tap into, but we first need to address a few key points: “The heme iron you get from animal sources – red meat and darker poultry, say – is in a form that’s slightly better absorbed than non-heme iron, which is found in the likes of beans, tofu and leafy greens,” says Dominique Ludwig, nutritionist and author of No-Nonsense Nutrition. This is where vitamin C is your friend: “When we eat non-heme iron and vitamin C together, it increases absorption, so it might be a case for having peppers or tomatoes with your tofu.” But there’s another potential hitch: “On a vegetarian diet, some of that iron can be blocked from absorption because of things such as phytates [a plant compound found in whole grains, legumes, etc], or tannins in tea and dairy,” Ludwig adds, so it’s not simply about how much iron you’re getting, but how good your absorption is.

“Women aged 19-49 should aim for 14.8mg iron a day, but after menopause that drops to about 8.7mg, which falls in line with men’s requirements,” Ludwig says. “If you’re vegetarian, then, you can’t just be having pesto pasta, you need to be eating beans, lentils, nuts, seeds, soy products, and leafy greens, too.” Tofu can have 3-5mg iron per 100g, cooked lentils 3-4mg, chickpeas 2½-3mg, cashews 6-7mg and sesame seeds 14-15mg. So, much like getting dressed, layering is important.

Oats in the morning are a no-brainer: “A 40g serving will give you 2mg iron, so have them with milled flaxseed and berries for the vitamin C,” Ludwig advises. The same principle applies to the likes of a tofu scramble: “Throw in some kale and tomatoes [again, for the vitamin C] and serve it with wholemeal bread, and you’re looking at about 7mg iron,” Ludwig adds. In other words, your day is getting off to a good start.
