(CNN) — La mayoría de los líderes políticos, espirituales y nacionales globales celebran la Navidad con un llamado a la paz o enfatizando las virtudes de la familia y la unidad.Ese no es el estilo de Donald Trump .El expresidente desató un torrente de furia y amargura en línea, en gran parte por sus dificultades legales, que abarcaron la víspera de Navidad y el día de Navidad, anticipando la discordia y las obsesiones personales que infligirá a la nación en un año electoral crucial en 2024.Trump criticó furiosamente al presidente Joe Biden y al fiscal especial Jack Smith , haciendo afirmaciones amplias y falsas de que sus intentos de permanecer en el poder después de perder las elecciones de 2020 representaban una defensa vital de la democracia estadounidense y, por lo tanto, eran perfectamente legales. En una marea de invectivas en mayúsculas en su red Truth Social, Trump intensificó una retórica extrema sobre la inmigración que ha generado comparaciones con la demagogia nazi...

Quebec students forbidden from using cellphones in classrooms after winter break

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:19:00 GMT

MONTREAL — Quebec’s new rule banning cellphones in classrooms will be in effect when students return from the holiday break, making the province the second to implement such a measure, after Ontario.The directive, which aims to reduce distractions in class, enters into force Dec. 31 and applies to public elementary and secondary schools, but it offers teachers flexibility to let students use phones for specific pedagogical purposes. Many Quebec schools already had rules limiting cellphones in classes before Education Minister Bernard Drainville introduced the ban in August, but some child advocates say it’s in the interest of children to make restrictions as tough as possible.Days ahead of Drainville’s announcement, Étienne Bergeron, a high school teacher from Warwick, Que., launched a petition calling on the government to forbid cellphones anywhere on school property.“I would have gone a lot further,” Bergeron said in an interview, comparing his petiti...

Toyota small car maker Daihatsu shuts down Japan factories during probe of bogus safety tests

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:19:00 GMT

TOKYO (AP) — Daihatsu, a unit of Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corp., has shut down production lines at all its four factories in Japan while transport ministry officials investigate improper tests for safety certifications. The shutdown as of Tuesday comes a week after Daihatsu Motor Co. announced it was suspending all vehicle shipments in and outside Japan after finding improper testing involving 64 models. That led transport ministry officials to launch a deeper probe into problems that apparently persisted for decades. The stoppage is expected to affect thousands of auto parts makers and their employees in a potential blow to local economies.The safety test irregularities earlier this year triggered an independent panel investigation, which found widespread and systematic problems at Daihatsu. It is the latest of safety or other violations found at at least five of Japan’s major automakers in recent years.So far, there have been no reports of accidents or deaths due to the fal...
