(CNN) — La discoteca española arrasada por un incendio mortal el fin de semana, y donde se encontraron varios cadáveres, recibió la orden de cerrar en 2022 porque carecía de la licencia adecuada, según dijo este lunes un alto funcionario de la ciudad de Murcia.La ciudad emitió una orden de cierre en enero de 2022 para el club nocturno Fonda Milagrosa, y reafirmó esa orden en octubre de 2022 después de que el propietario apelara sin éxito el cierre, dijo en una conferencia de prensa Antonio Navarro, funcionario municipal a cargo de tales licencias.“La única responsable de esto es la empresa, que a pesar de las comunicaciones para cerrar (la discoteca), no hizo caso”, dijo Navarro.El incendio de la discoteca Fonda y de otra contigua, llamada Teatre, en la madrugada de este domingo, causó la muerte de al menos 13 personas, según las autoridades. Es el incendio en clubes nocturnos más mortífero de los últimos 33 años en España.Navarro dijo que el club nocturno Teatre a...

Kale, crispy bacon upgrades grilled cheese to an adult level

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 05:08:09 GMT

Satisfying, tasty and quick, a grilled cheese is a weeknight staple for a reason. But we use a couple tricks to spruce it up, taking it from an after-school kids’ treat to a meal an adult would love.First, we don’t shy away from a bit of cooking before assembling the sandwich, as in this recipe from our book “Cook What You Have,” which draws on pantry staples to create easy, weeknight meals. We give grilled cheese a tasty — and somewhat healthful! — update by sautéing kale by the handful with caramelized onions to make the bulk of the filling for the sandwich.Second, when we grill the buttered bread, we press down on the sandwich to make more contact with the pan, which promotes flavorful browning.A slather of mustard lends tangy contrast to the melty cheese. To add a salty-smoky note, tuck crisp bacon slices inside the sandwiches before cooking them, though it’s still delicious without it.Just be sure to use a hearty sandwich bread that’s sturdy enough to contain all the fillings s...

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez will undergo surgery on his right foot for an injured metatarsal, manager Erik ten Hag said Monday.Martinez has already been ruled out for an “extended period” after a recurrence of the injury that saw him miss the end of last season. He will have a second operation on his foot, having initially had surgery in April to repair his fractured metatarsal.“That’s really sad, disappointing news,” Ten Hag said ahead of United’s Champions League game against Galatasaray on Tuesday. “He has to go through the same process and I’m really sorry for him.“The squad will miss him. As you know, we have more injuries, so we always have to deal with it as a squad … He has to be strong. He will fight back, I’m sure. He is a character.”Ten Hag is also without defenders Tyrell Malacia, Sergio Reguilon, Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.Ten Hag also said Antony would be in contention to play again after returnin...

Las Vegas’ Sphere venue debuted this weekend with concerts by U2. Here’s what it was like

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 05:08:09 GMT

Las Vegas (CNN) — For several years a mysterious spherical structure has been rising on the skyline of this desert playground, teasing visitors in recent months with its wraparound LED screen transforming the giant orb into a planet, a basketball, or — most distractingly — a blinking eyeball.Now, finally, we get to go inside.Sphere, the $2.3 billion venture being billed as the entertainment venue of the future, made its public debut this weekend with two concerts by U2.Does Sphere live up to the hype? Are the interior visuals as eye-popping as the ones outside? Is U2, the beloved Irish band now in the latter stage of their career, the right act to christen this massive bauble of an arena?Yes, yes, and yes – with a few caveats.Courtesy Rich Fury/Handout/ReutersDescribing the Sphere concert experience is a challenge, because there’s nothing quite like it. The effect is a little like being in a giant planetarium or a juiced-up IMAX theater, inside a giant spaceship.Built by Madiso...

Kosovo attack: Who benefits?

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 05:08:09 GMT

Jamie Dettmer is opinion editor at POLITICO Europe. The European Union and the United States have been trying to persuade Serbia and Kosovo to end their enmity and normalize relations for more than a decade.There were finally signs of promise in April, when Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and Kosovo’s Prime Minister Albin Kurti finally gave tacit, if begrudging, approval to an EU-brokered plan that would see the two finally sprinkle some soil over the hatchet. But despite all the cajoling and coaxing, it wasn’t to be.U.S. and European officials have insinuated that Kurti was more to blame here, with EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell drawing attention to the failure to establish an association of municipalities in northern Kosovo, which would have allowed Kosovo’s Serbs some autonomy in an enclave where they’re a majority.Behind the scenes, U.S. and European officials have also quietly praised Vučić for a slow and halting tilt toward the West, secretly supplying some arms...

EU should ban spyware, Russian exiled journalist says

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 05:08:09 GMT

 The European Union should issue a complete ban on spyware, given that it is continually used to violate human rights, the editor-in-chief of independent Russian news site Meduza told POLITICO.Ivan Kolpakov, who’s based in Latvia, said that following the revelations of hacking on his colleague Galina Timichenko by an as-yet-unconfirmed EU country, it was clear that Europeans should be extremely concerned about Pegasus.“If they can use it against an exiled journalist there are no guarantees they cannot use it against local journalists as well,” said Kolpakov. “Unfortunately, there are a lot of fans in Europe, and we are not only talking about Poland and Hungary, but Western European countries as well.”POLITICO first reported that since last month the European Commission has been working on guidance for how governments could use surveillance tools such as spyware within EU data protection and national security laws. Despite national security being a competence of member cou...

Leaked US strategy on Ukraine sees corruption as the real threat

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 05:08:09 GMT

Biden administration officials are far more worried about corruption in Ukraine than they publicly admit, a confidential U.S. strategy document obtained by POLITICO suggests.The “sensitive but unclassified” version of the long-term U.S. plan lays out numerous steps Washington is taking to help Kyiv root out malfeasance and otherwise reform an array of Ukrainian sectors. It stresses that corruption could cause Western allies to abandon Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s invasion, and that Kyiv cannot put off the anti-graft effort.“Perceptions of high-level corruption” the confidential version of the document warns, could “undermine the Ukrainian public’s and foreign leaders’ confidence in the war-time government.”That’s starker than the analysis available in the little-noticed public version of the 22-page document, which the State Department appears to have posted on its website with no fanfare about a month ago.The confidential version of the “Integrated Country Strategy” is abo...

Trump denounces fraud case as a ‘scam’ as he arrives for New York trial over his business practices

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 05:08:09 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump denounced the civil fraud case over his business practices as a politically motivated “scam” as he arrived defiantly for a trial in the lawsuit, which could cost him control of Trump Tower and other prized properties.“This is a continuation of the single greatest witch hunt of all time,” he said as he made a voluntary trip to a New York court for a trial that has high stakes for him.“It’s a scam. It’s a sham,” the Republican said, reiterating claims that New York Attorney General Letitia James’ suit is a politically motivated attempt to thwart his return to the White House.“What we have here is an attempt to hurt me in an election,” he charged, adding: “I don’t think the people of this country are going to stand for it.”He looked away from James, a Democrat, as he passed her on the way into court, with a disgusted look on his face.The suit accuses Trump and his company of deceiving banks, insurers and others by habitually...
