Ante el último debate presidencial en Argentina, ¿puede cambiar la decisión de un votante?

Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 06:55:58 GMT

(CNN Español) — Una semana antes de que los argentinos definan a su futuro presidente, el domingo será el tercer y último debate presidencial de estas elecciones. Esta vez solo con los candidatos que compiten en el balotaje: Sergio Massa y Javier Milei. ¿Podrá este cruce cambiar la decisión de los votantes?“Cambiar en forma masiva las preferencias de los electores a partir de un debate presidencial parece poco probable. Hay estudios que confirman el cambio de voto luego de un debate presidencial, pero en una magnitud relativamente pequeña”, explican Julia Pomares y Santiago Lacroix en un informe del Centro de Implementación de Políticas Públicas para la Equidad y el Crecimiento (CIPPEC), a propósito de los debates de 2019. Agregan que “los debates también sirven para reafirmar a los ya decididos”.Sus afirmaciones se basan en un estudio sobre cuatro elecciones presidenciales en Estados Unidos donde “se demostró que un 14% de quienes vieron el debat...

Macron: Meta, Google ‘simply don’t deliver’ on handling of hate speech

Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 06:55:58 GMT

French President Emmanuel Macron criticized big tech companies’ handling of hate speech on their platforms. In an interview with the BBC, Macron took on Meta and Google specifically, saying that they “simply don’t deliver” on their engagements around content moderation on their platforms. Macron made the remarks in the wake of the Christchurch Call Summit, an initiative involving world leaders and tech companies that was launched after the online live-streaming of a terrorist attack in Christchurch, New Zealand, in March 2019. The aim is to stop the spread of terrorist and violent content online. Meta and Google didn’t send representatives to Friday’s Christchurch Call gathering in Paris, which Macron said shows that “they don’t want to play anymore.” Other companies, such as X, Amazon, Microsoft and OpenAI had representatives there. Many platforms also don’t have sufficient moderators capable of handling the French langua...

FRANKFURT, Germany — Bill Belichick sauntered into a packed press conference Friday on little sleep, with dozens of eager reporters spread over six rows of chairs and close to 20 cameras armed and ready at the back.The Patriots had landed hours earlier on a redeye from the U.S. Belichick took his seat behind a microphone on a small stage and stared down at a reporter in the first row. He was puzzled.“Pretzels for lunch?” Belichick asked. “Seriously?”Then, he beamed. He joked. He laughed.Belichick fielded questions and supplied thoughtful answers for nearly 20 minutes, even if those answers meandered to the same dead ends they usually do. At the end, he even apologized for a lackluster response.Twice! Belichick smiled again. And he wasn’t alone.After their practice Friday at the DFB campus, home to the German National Soccer Team, six Patriots players spoke in the same media room that briefly housed an unusually loose Belichick. Maybe they were all punch...

NFL notes: How many Patriots are guaranteed to return in 2024? Well, not many

Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 06:55:58 GMT

Like most bad teams, the Patriots’ future is cloudy.Head coach? On the hot seat.Quarterback? Fans are calling for his replacement.But what about their core?It seems few players, including rookies Christian Gonzalez and Demario Douglas, can be counted as foundational pieces of the Patriots’ future. Building out, it’s hard to know what other bricks could be laid upon that foundation.Basically, who among the Patriots is guaranteed to return in 2024?The questions start immediately at quarterback.Mac Jones is no lock to start next year. Jones may one day prove to be a starting-caliber quarterback, maybe even an above average one. But it’s unlikely he’ll do so in New England.The Patriots’ infrastructure has failed him the last two seasons, when Jones’ physical shortcomings have been compounded by mental mistakes and little help. The Pats must decide by May whether to pick up the fifth-year option on Jones’ rookie deal that would keep him und...

Somber bugles and bells mark Armistice Day around the globe as wars drown out peace messages

Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 06:55:58 GMT

YPRES, Belgium (AP) — With somber bugles and bells from Australia to western Europe’s battlefields of World War I, people around the globe on Saturday remembered the slaughter and losses just over a century ago that was supposed to be “the war to end all wars.” Yet the rumble of tanks and the screeching of incoming fire from Ukraine to Gaza pierced the solemnity of the occasion and the notion that humankind could somehow circumvent violence to settle its worst differences. “This time last year, our thoughts were focused on Ukraine. Today, our minds are full with the terrible images emerging from Israel and Gaza. These are just two of the more than 100 armed conflicts in the world today,” said Benoit Mottrie, the head of the Last Post Association in western Belgium’s Ypres, where some of the fiercest and deadliest World War I battles were fought.During a ceremony with Prime Minister Alexander De Croo and dozens of dignitaries, Mottrie expressed the sense of powerlessness ...
