News from Multiple Perspectives

El estudio de las motivaciones de los asesinos en serie han dado mucho contenido a películas y series de televisión, y aún siguen siendo objeto de estudio. Una nueva investigación revela ahora cuál es el rasgo común que suelen tener las víctimas de este tipo de criminales. El estudio se ha publicado por expertos de la Universidad de Murdoch (Australia) en la revista The Police Journal: Theory, Practice and Principles y sostiene que los asesinos en serie eligen mujeres con rasgos faciales similares a los de sus madres debido a traumas infantiles persistentes. Para ayudar a la policía a vincular a las víctimas de casos sin resolver, los científicos han desarrollado una herramienta de inteligencia forense que funciona analizando la apariencia facial. Según el equipo de investigadores de la Universidad de Murdoch, este sistema podría detectar "rasgos sutiles de la geometría facial" que comparten las víctimas y que, de otro modo, podrían haber pasado desapercibidos. "Los estudios han demostrado que características de la victimología , como la edad, el sexo, la clase social y elementos de la apariencia física, influyen en la elección de la víctima por parte del delincuente", dicen los autores. También es común que muchos asesinos en serie busquen víctimas con características físicas similares a las de un progenitor del sexo opuesto o un familiar cercano que les infligió un trauma durante su infancia. Esto se ha observado en casos penales en los que los delincuentes buscan a quienes representan a personas que les han perjudicado o dañado anteriormente. Anteriores e investigadores ya habían señalado una inquietante similitud entre las víctimas del famoso asesino en serie Ted Bundy y su madre, Louise Bundy , y su primera novia formal. Sus víctimas solían tener el pelo largo, con la raya al medio, similar al peinado que llevaba su madre cuando él era joven. Según los expertos, su decisión de atacar a estas mujeres podría haber sido provocada por un incidente traumático en su infancia, ya que fue criado creyendo que su madre era su hermana y n o descubrió la verdad sobre su madre biológica hasta bien entrada su adolescencia.

Siete personas, entre ellas un menor de edad, han sufrido contusiones este domingo debido al derrumbe de parte del techo de un hotel de Benidorm , en Alicante , según han informado fuentes del Centro de Información y Coordinación de Urgencias (CICU). El aviso del derrumbe se ha recibido sobre las 14.20 horas. Según el diario Información, los hechos han ocurrido en la zona de restaurante del hotel Poseidón. El personal sanitario desplazado hasta el lugar ha atendido a cinco hombres y dos mujeres por contusione s, de las que un menor de 8 años y un hombre de 78 han sido dados de alta allí mismo. Las cinco personas restantes, con edades comprendidas entre los 33 y los 80 años, han sido trasladadas a la Clínica de Benidorm y al Hospital Marina Baixa. El CICU ha movilizado unidades del SAMU, Soporte Vital Básico y Transporte No Asistido, y ha contado con el apoyo de Cruz Roja para esta intervención, según han indicado las mismas fuentes.

Los Mossos d'Esquadra han detenido a un hombre de más de 60 años de edad acusado de matar a otro con un arma blanca en plena calle en el distrito de Sant Andreu de Barcelona , en un caso en el que se investiga, entre otras hipótesis, si la víctima era un ladrón que ha intentado atracar al arrestado. Según ha informado la policía catalana en un comunicado, hacia las 14.00 horas de este domingo el teléfono de emergencias 112 ha recibido un aviso que alertaba de que había una persona herida por arma blanca en la vía pública, en el distrito de Sant Andreu de Barcelona. Agentes de los Mossos se han dirigido al lugar, donde han localizado al sospechoso del crimen, que ha sido detenido como presunto autor de la muerte violenta. También han acudido al lugar efectivos del Sistema de Emergencias Médicas (SEM), que no han podido salvar la vida a la víctima. Según han detallado fuentes cercanas al caso, el detenido es un hombre de más de 60 años de edad. Además, según las fuentes, en el marco de la investigación, en la que se ha decretado el secreto de las actuaciones, los agentes de los Mossos tratan de averiguar, entre otras hipótesis, si la víctima es un ladrón que ha intentado atracar al hombre que ha acabado detenido y que habría opuesto resistencia al intento de robo.

Pope Leo XIV used his first Easter mass at the Vatican to urge global leaders to “choose peace”.

Pope Leo XIV addresses the faithful after delivering the Urbi et Orbi blessing - Latin for "to the city of Rome and to the world" - from the central loggia of St. Peter's Basilica at the end of Easter Mass he presided over in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican, Sunday, April 5, 2026. (AP Photo/Alessandra Tarantino) 2026-04-05T09:28:45Z VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Leo XIV celebrated his first Easter Mass as pontiff with a call Sunday to lay down arms and seek peace to global conflicts through dialogue, but he departed from a tradition of listing the world’s woes by name in the Urbi et Orbi blessing from the loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica. Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, emphasized Easter’s message of hope as a celebration of Jesus’ resurrection after being crucified. “Let us allow our hearts to be transformed by his immense love for us! Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!” the pope implored. With the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran in its second month and Russia’s ongoing campaign in Ukraine , Leo acknowledged a sense of indifference “to the deaths of thousands of people ... to the repercussions of hatred and division that conflicts sow … to the economic and social consequences they produce.’’ freestar.queue.push(function () { window.fsAdCount = window.fsAdCount + 1 || 0; let customChannel = '/dynamic_' + fsAdCount; let adList = document.querySelectorAll(".fs-feed-ad") let thisAd = adList[fsAdCount]; let randId = Math.random().toString(36).slice(2); thisAd.id = randId; let thisPlacement = fsAdCount == 0 ? "apnews_story_feed" : "apnews_story_feed_dynamic"; freestar.newAdSlots({ placementName: thisPlacement, slotId: randId }, customChannel); }); Without mentioning the wars by name, Leo quoted his predecessor, Pope Francis, who during his last public appearance from the same loggia last Easter reminded the faithful of the “great thirst for death, for killing, we witness each day.’’ Francis, weakened by a long illness, died the next day on Easter Monday. The Urbi et Orbi blessing, Latin for “to the city and the world,’’ has traditionally included a litany of the world’s woes. Leo followed that formula during his Christmas blessing.

Before retreating into the basilica, Leo stepped forward out of the loggia’s shadow and waved to the cheering crowd below. He later greeted people in the piazza from the popemobile that took him all the way down Via della Conciliazione toward the Tiber River and back. During the marathon that is Holy Week, Leo also reclaimed the tradition of washing priests’ feet on Holy Thursday, a gesture of encouragement toward clergy, after Francis had chosen a more inclusive path, traveling to prisons and homes for the disabled to wash the feet of women, non-Christians and prisoners.

Authorities have put limits on the sizes of public gatherings due to ongoing missile attacks. The restrictions also dampened the recent Muslim holy month of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr holiday, as well as the current weeklong Jewish festival of Passover. On Sunday, the Jewish priestly blessing at the Western Wall — normally attended by tens of thousands — was limited to just 50 people. The restrictions have strained relations between Israeli authorities and Christian leaders. Police last week prevented two of the church’s top religious leaders, including Latin Patriarch Pierbattista Pizzaballa, from celebrating Palm Sunday at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Gaza’s tiny Palestinian Christian community celebrates first Easter since ceasefire At the Holy Family church in Gaza City, Catholics young and old gathered for a traditional Easter Mass. Singing, they formed a queue in the aisle, waiting for their chance to kiss a sketch of Jesus held by a member of the clergy who wiped the glass frame between turns. “There is great joy, especially after the ceasefire and after nearly three years of suffering and being unable to celebrate all the holy holidays,” said George Anton from Gaza City. “People are somewhat relieved and more stable.” freestar.queue.push(function () { window.fsAdCount = window.fsAdCount + 1 || 0; let customChannel = '/dynamic_' + fsAdCount; let adList = document.querySelectorAll(".fs-feed-ad") let thisAd = adList[fsAdCount]; let randId = Math.random().toString(36).slice(2); thisAd.id = randId; let thisPlacement = fsAdCount == 0 ?

In this image provided by Sepahnews, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's official website, wreckage is shown at what Iran's state TV claimed was the site of a downed American transport plane and two helicopters involved in a rescue operation, in Isfahan province, Iran, April, 2026. (Sepahnews via AP) 2026-04-05T14:39:12Z JERUSALEM (AP) — President Donald Trump announced early Sunday that the U.S. had rescued an aviator nearly two days after he was shot down over Iran. The extraction came after a frantic search in what appears to be a remote, mountainous region of Iran. A second crew member had been rescued Friday, soon after the F-15E Strike Eagle crashed. It was the first U.S. aircraft to be downed by Iranian fire since the U.S. and Israel launched the war on Feb. 28. “This is the first time in military memory that two U.S. Pilots have been rescued, separately, deep in Enemy Territory,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “WE WILL NEVER LEAVE AN AMERICAN WARFIGHTER BEHIND!” Here’s what we know about the rescue: freestar.queue.push(function () { window.fsAdCount = window.fsAdCount + 1 || 0; let customChannel = '/dynamic_' + fsAdCount; let adList = document.querySelectorAll(".fs-feed-ad") let thisAd = adList[fsAdCount]; let randId = Math.random().toString(36).slice(2); thisAd.id = randId; let thisPlacement = fsAdCount == 0 ? "apnews_story_feed" : "apnews_story_feed_dynamic"; freestar.newAdSlots({ placementName: thisPlacement, slotId: randId }, customChannel); }); Frantic search conducted behind enemy lines Trump noted that Friday’s rescue of the first airman was conducted in “broad daylight.” The White House avoided confirming the rescue to avoid jeopardizing the search for the second aviator, which was conducted overnight Saturday into Sunday. That overnight rescue involved “dozens of aircraft,” armed with lethal weaponry, Trump said. Iran had promised a sizable reward to anyone who captured the service member. Throughout the ordeal, the U.S. had been monitoring the fallen airman’s location “24 hours a day, and diligently planning for his rescue,” Trump said. “This brave Warrior was behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted down by our enemies, who were getting closer and closer by the hour,” he wrote. Pilot wounded but expected to recover Trump said the airman held the rank of colonel and had been seriously wounded. Nonetheless, Trump said he would be “just fine.” Trump gave no details about the first crewman’s condition. /* Desktop-first: fully collapse by default */ #ap-readmore-embed { display: none; margin: 0;

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy speaks during an interview with The Associated Press, in Istanbul, Turkey, Saturday, April 4, 2026. (AP Photo/Khalil Hamra) 2026-04-05T04:55:32Z ISTANBUL (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed concern that a prolonged U.S.-Israeli war on Iran could further erode America’s support for Ukraine as Washington’s global priorities shift and Kyiv braces for reduced deliveries of critically needed Patriot air defense missiles . Ukraine desperately needs more U.S.-made Patriot air defense systems to help it counter Russia’s daily barrages, Zelenskyy said, speaking to The Associated Press in an exclusive interview late Saturday in Istanbul. Russia’s relentless pounding of urban areas behind the front line following its full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than four years ago has killed thousands of civilians. It has also targeted Ukraine’s energy supply to disrupt industrial production of Ukraine’s newly developed drones and missiles, while also denying civilians heat and running water in winter. “We have to recognize that we are not the priority for today,” Zelenskyy said. “That’s why I am afraid a long (Iran) war will give us less support.” freestar.queue.push(function () { window.fsAdCount = window.fsAdCount + 1 || 0; let customChannel = '/dynamic_' + fsAdCount; let adList = document.querySelectorAll(".fs-feed-ad") let thisAd = adList[fsAdCount]; let randId = Math.random().toString(36).slice(2); thisAd.id = randId; let thisPlacement = fsAdCount == 0 ? "apnews_story_feed" : "apnews_story_feed_dynamic"; freestar.newAdSlots({ placementName: thisPlacement, slotId: randId }, customChannel); }); A loss of focus on Ukraine The latest U.S.-brokered talks between envoys from Moscow and Kyiv ended in February with no sign of a breakthrough. Zelenskyy, who has accused Russia of “trying to drag out negotiations” while it presses on with its invasion, said Ukraine remains in contact with U.S. negotiators about a potential deal to end the war and has continued to press for stronger security guarantees. But, he said, even those discussions reflect a broader loss of focus from Ukraine. His most immediate concern, Zelenskyy said, are the Patriots — essential for intercepting Russian ballistic missiles — as Ukraine still lacks an effective alternative. These U.S. systems were never delivered in sufficient quantities to begin with, Zelenskyy said, and if the Iran war doesn’t end soon, “the package — which is not very big for us — I think will be smaller and smaller day by day.” “That’s why, of course, we are afraid,” he said. Interlinked wars Zelenskyy had been counting on European partners to help make the Patriot purchases despite tight supply and limited U.S. production capacity. But the Iran war, now in its sixth week, has sent shock waves through the global economy and pulled in much of the wider Middle East region, further straining these already limited resources, diverting stockpiles and leaving Ukrainian cities more exposed to ballistic strikes.

Surging oil prices driven by Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz are undermining that strategy by boosting the Kremlin’s oil revenues and strengthening Moscow’s capacity to sustain its war effort. /* Desktop-first: fully collapse by default */ #ap-readmore-embed { display: none;

Russia is one of the world’s main oil exporters, and Asian nations are increasingly competing for Russian crude oil as an energy crisis mounts. In response, Ukraine has intensified its long-range drone attacks on Russian oil facilities, which have rattled Moscow . A renewed diplomatic push To keep Ukraine on the international agenda, Zelenskyy has offered to share Ukraine’s hard-earned battlefield expertise with the United States and allies to develop effective countermeasures against Iranian attacks. Ukraine has met Russia’s evolving use of Iranian-made Shahed drones with growing sophistication , technological ingenuity and low cost. Moscow significantly modified the original Shahed-136, rebranded as the Geran-2, enhancing its ability to evade air defenses and be mass produced. Ukraine responded with quick innovation of its own, including low-cost interceptor drones designed to track and destroy incoming drones. freestar.queue.push(function () { window.fsAdCount = window.fsAdCount + 1 || 0; let customChannel = '/dynamic_' + fsAdCount; let adList = document.querySelectorAll(".fs-feed-ad") let thisAd = adList[fsAdCount]; let randId = Math.random().toString(36).slice(2); thisAd.id = randId; let thisPlacement = fsAdCount == 0 ?

In return, these countries could help Ukraine “with anti-ballistic missiles,” Zelenskyy said. In late March, as the Iran war escalated, Zelenskyy visited Gulf Arab states to promote Ukraine’s singular experience in countering Iranian-made Shahed drones, leading to new defense cooperation agreements. Zelenskyy has also positioned Ukraine as a potential partner in safeguarding global trade routes, offering assistance in reopening the Strait of Hormuz by sharing Ukraine’s experiences securing maritime corridors in the Black Sea. freestar.queue.push(function () { window.fsAdCount = window.fsAdCount + 1 || 0; let customChannel = '/dynamic_' + fsAdCount; let adList = document.querySelectorAll(".fs-feed-ad") let thisAd = adList[fsAdCount]; let randId = Math.random().toString(36).slice(2); thisAd.id = randId; let thisPlacement = fsAdCount == 0 ? "apnews_story_feed" : "apnews_story_feed_dynamic"; freestar.newAdSlots({ placementName: thisPlacement, slotId: randId }, customChannel); }); Zelenskyy was in Istanbul for talks with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan , a day after the Turkish leader spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Zelenskyy said they discussed peace talks and a possible meeting of leaders in Istanbul. He also said there could be new defense deals signed between the two countries soon. Russia steps up its spring offensive Each year as the weather improves, Russia moves its grinding war of attrition up a notch. However, it has been unable to capture Ukrainian cities and has made only incremental gains across rural areas. Russia occupies about 20% of Ukraine, including the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia seized in 2014. On the roughly 1,250-kilometer (750-mile) front line stretching across eastern and southern parts of Ukraine, short-handed Ukrainian defenders are getting ready for a new offensive by Russia’s larger army . The commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s armed forces, Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi, said Russian troops have in recent days made simultaneous attempts to break through defense lines in several strategic areas. One thing Zelenskyy says he has insisted on and will continue to do so — a territorial compromise and giving up land will not be on Ukraine’s agenda.

El lehendakari vasco ha vuelto a sacar a la palestra la cesión temporal del 'Guernica' de Picasso que el Gobierno Vasco ya solicitó al Estado. En el acto del PNV en Bilbao por el Aberri Eguna, Imanol Pradales ha reclamado a Pedro Sánchez retomar la agenda bilateral que tiene "carpetas abiertas muy importantes por acordar y cerrar" y le pregunta si cumplirá los compromisos cuando "la legislatura española ha entrado en lo último". Aun así, ha defendido su interlocución con La Moncloa: "Me reuniré las veces que haga falta, con quien haga falta, para defender los intereses de Euskadi, esté quien esté en la Moncloa". Durante el acto, bajo el lema ‘Aberria Bizi (Vive el país)’, Pradales ha recordado que el Gobierno Vasco ha solicitado al Estado la cesión temporal del 'Guernica' de Picasso , al entender que supondría “un avance en la reparación al Pueblo vasco y a la memoria democrática”, además de "un alegato por la paz en un momento de guerras y tentaciones totalitarias”. Coincidiendo con un tiempo de “ gran simbolismo y relevancia política ”, que se abre con los 90 años del primer Gobierno Vasco y del bombardeo de Gernika y de más de un centenar de municipios vascos. Criticó, sin embargo, la reacción inmediata de “la derechona española y sus altavoces mediáticos”, que, según dijo, han elevado la petición a “ cuestión de Estado ”. “¿Qué concepto de Estado es ese? Que se dejen de excusas”, reclamó. “Aquí solo hay una pregunta: ¿tendrá el Gobierno español la valentía política de traer el ‘Guernica’ a Euskadi ?”. Tras evocar que “sacaron a Franco del Valle de los Caídos ”, se dirigió al Ejecutivo de Sánchez: “¿No son capaces de llevar un cuadro de Madrid a Euskadi? La pelota está en su tejado. Que respondan”. Con la presencia del presidente del EBB, Aitor Esteban , Pradales ha definido el Aberri Eguna como “una jornada de celebración y encuentro , pero también de balance”. “Aunque algunos se empeñen en lo contrario, la Casa Vasca crece y nuestra Nación avanza”, subrayó. El Lehendakari recordó que en dos semanas se cumplirán dos años de las elecciones autonómicas y afirmó que su equipo “se deja la piel cada día por y para Euskadi”. El Guernica y lo que el PNV oculta Javier Caraballo La reclamación para que el cuadro de Picasso se le ceda al País Vasco carece de todo fundamento histórico, artístico y político más allá del permanente chantaje y distorsión nacionalista Según detalló, el 78% de los compromisos del programa de Gobierno ya están en marcha , y citó como hitos el Pacto de Salud; operaciones industriales vinculadas a Talgo, Ayesa, Uvesco o Balenciaga; el “escudo industrial” frente a los aranceles de Trump o las tensiones derivadas de la guerra de Irán; la rebaja de costes energéticos para la industria vasca y la reducción del IVA del gas y la electricidad. “Esto es construir Nación: atender los problemas reales, hacer política con mayúsculas”, enfatizó. “Debemos seguir edificando una Casa Vasca estable y fiable; en eso estamos”. Llorca ofrece diálogo a Arcadi España pero prepara la barricada ante la ofensiva del PSOE por la Generalitat Víctor Romero. Valencia El PP eleva el tono reivindicativo y el discurso del agravio para contrarrestar la doble apuesta ministerial de Pedro Sánchez por cuadros valencianos a un año de las elecciones Pradales contrapuso la situación actual con la de hace dos años: entonces Euskadi no gestionaba el subsidio de desempleo ni podía otorgar permisos laborales a extranjeros ; ahora sí. “No nos dejaban ocuparnos de nuestra costa y hoy gestionamos sus 240 kilómetros . No era posible ampliar la potencia eléctrica para la industria vasca y la hemos duplicado. No podíamos condicionar la gestión de los aeropuertos vascos y hoy sí”, enumeró, rechazando que se trate de “obsesiones identitarias”. Insistió en que no es un debate identitario, sino “ autogobierno para mejorar el bienestar y la calidad de vida ”. Y, aludiendo al PSE-EE sin nombrarlo, añadió: “Si alguien no quiere más autogobierno y más capacidad de decisión para Euskadi, que lo diga claramente. Nosotros lo tenemos claro: sí a más autogobierno, sí a más capacidad de decisión y sí a la voluntad y al bienestar de este pueblo”. Unidad abertzale Sobre EH Bildu, sostuvo que “hoy algunos hablarán de unidad abertzale , de actuar como Pueblo y de acuerdos de País”, pero cuestionó su coherencia: “¿Dónde han estado estos meses cuando luchábamos por traer a Euskadi el subsidio de paro o por los aeropuertos?”. También preguntó qué aportación han hecho “a la operación Talgo ” y “qué están haciendo para ampliar capacidades en migración ”. “¿Dónde han estado ante los ataques continuos al Concierto Económico ? ¿No eran razones suficientes para actuar en Madrid ‘como pueblo’?”, interpeló, sugiriendo que “se olvidan de Euskadi cuando se alían con los ‘progresistas españoles de la izquierda confederal’ o se entregan a los ‘frentes amplios’”. Pradales reprochó a la izquierda abertzale que “hay muchas camisetas, banderas y proclamas”, pero “se olvida la causa más alta para cualquier abertzale : la del Pueblo vasco ”. Por ello, en Aberri Eguna pidió a EH Bildu: “Coged la ikurriña y defended con hechos la nación vasca”. Mayor Oreja: "Hay que hacer de necesidad virtud: Feijóo y Abascal tienen que demostrar liderazgo" Juan Fernández-Miranda El presidente de la Fundación Neos, que no es del PP ni de Vox, llama a ambos partidos a entender que hay una "mayoría natural" que les pide un acuerdo. Advierte que el proyecto "rupturista" se refugiará en Cataluña, País Vasco y Navarra Contexto muy revuelto El lehendakari situó el Aberri Eguna en “ un contexto muy revuelto ”. “Son tiempos de populismo , totalitarismo y demagogia . Tiempos oscuros que pueden oscurecerse más”, alertó. Ante ello, abogó por mantenerse “donde siempre hemos estado: en la defensa de los Derechos Humanos, la paz, la democracia, la justicia social, la igualdad y la libertad, con brújula moral, firmeza ética y principios sólidos”. Expresó asimismo su inquietud por “lo que ocurre del Ebro para abajo”: “ una derecha autoritaria , reaccionaria , que añora el pasado, niega nuestra identidad, cuestiona el autogobierno y combate a quien piensa distinto”. ¿Es Pedro Sánchez más de certezas que de dudas? Antonio Casado Al presentar su decreto y medio contra los efectos de la guerra el presidente del Gobierno se vende como un generador de certezas en un mundo cargado de incertidumbre Se mostró también preocupado por “ la derecha conservadora , perdida y condicionada por una extrema derecha que le marca el paso”. “Son los ‘PP-VOX’ y hay que ser conscientes de que pueden llegar”, avisó, aunque aseguró que “Euskadi está preparada” porque “contamos con el mejor refugio: la Casa Vasca”. Recta final de la legislatura Pradales consideró que “ las aguas madrileñas están muy revueltas ”, con “más insultos, menos política y más crispación”. Aun así, defendió su interlocución con La Moncloa: “Me reuniré las veces que haga falta, con quien haga falta, para defender los intereses de Euskadi, esté quien esté en la Moncloa”. El muro que erigió Sánchez... lo ha sepultado Rubén Amón La normalización del pacto PP-Vox malogra la doctrina de la polarización al tiempo que asistimos a la implosión de la ultraizquierda Recordó que “las regatas de traineras tienen cuatro largos y la legislatura española ha entrado en el último ”. A su juicio, “llegan meses de calado político y es el momento de la verdad para el Gobierno español”. La agenda bilateral “tiene carpetas abiertas muy importantes por acordar y cerrar”, como Puertos, Seguridad Social, migración, la oficialidad del euskera en Europa o la financiación de la dependencia. “ Trabajaremos y negociaremos lo que sea necesario para cerrar acuerdos . Estaremos a la altura”, afirmó, antes de preguntar a Pedro Sánchez “cómo quiere pasar a la historia ante nuestro Pueblo” y si “va a cumplir o no los compromisos pactados con Euskadi”.

Las fuerzas estadounidenses han rescatado con vida al piloto desaparecido en territorio iraní tras el derribo de su caza de guerra F-15E Strike Eagle. El presidente de los Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, ha celebrado en la red social Truth Social el éxito de la operación. Sobre las 06:00 horas (hora peninsular), Trump ha asegurado que se ha llevado a cabo una de las "operaciones de búsqueda y rescate más audaces de la historia del país". El tripulante de la nave es un "coronel muy respetado" que se encuentra a salvo, aunque ha "sufrido algunas heridas", ha reflejado el mandatario. Esta operación se originó con el derribo del F-15E en el suroeste de Irán el pasado viernes. Uno de los pilotos fue evacuado por Estados Unidos horas después del incidente, pero el rescate del segundo no pudo ser efectivo. Casi al mismo tiempo del derribo del F-15E, un segundo avión militar, un A-10 Warthog , se estrelló. El único tripulante de esa nave también fue rescatado con vida tras eyectarse. Antes de localizar al piloto, la CIA lideró una sofisticada maniobra de distracción en territorio iraní. Un alto funcionario de la administración Trump detalló a la cadena NBC News que la agencia de inteligencia lanzó una "campaña de engaño" dentro de Irán. Estados Unidos hizo creer a las fuerzas iraníes que ya habían encontrado al aviador con vida y que lo estaban trasladando para evacuarlo por el sur del país. Mientras, las fuerzas iraníes buscaban de manera exhaustiva al tripulante. La CIA utilizó sus capacidades para localizar al piloto estadounidense, quien se encontraba escondido en la grieta de una montaña . Posteriormente, la agencia proporcionó las coordenadas en tiempo real al Departamento de Defensa y al presidente Trump, quien ejecutó la misión de rescate con "audacia y precisión". "Fue como buscar una aguja en un pajar, pero en este caso se trataba de un valiente estadounidense escondido en una grieta de la montaña, invisible de no ser por las capacidades de la CIA", declaró el funcionario. Diferentes versiones Las versiones del rescate y de las pérdidas materiales difieren drásticamente entre Washington y Teherán . Según explicó un funcionario estadounidense a la agencia Reuters, mientras trasladaban al piloto a un avión de transporte desde la zona del accidente, el operativo tuvo que destruir deliberadamente dos aeronaves al quedar inmovilizadas en el terreno, dejándolas inoperativas para el posterior uso del Ejército iraní. Además, otro funcionario de los Estados Unidos afirmó en la cadena NBC News, que un avión de apoyo A-10 Warthog​ fue alcanzado por fuego iraní en una operación llevada a cabo el viernes tras haber sido derribado el caza F-15E. Pese a los daños sufridos en la aeronave, el piloto consiguió dirigir el aparato hasta el espacio aéreo de Kuwait . Allí, tras asegurar la trayectoria, se eyectó de forma exitosa antes de que el avión se estrellara contra el terreno. Irán acelera el deshielo del Brexit: Londres se acerca a Europa para sobrevivir a la crisis Celia Maza. Londres Downing Street ha reclamado una mayor cooperación con los socios europeos en medio de la guerra de Irán y el cierre de facto del estrecho de Ormuz En cambio, Irán muestra una cara de la operación desastrosa. La Guardia Revolucionaria ha dicho en un comunicado que las aeronaves han sido destruidas durante la operación de rescate y ha calificado el episodio como una "nueva derrota humillante" para Estados Unidos. El portavoz del Cuartel General Central de Khatam al-Anbiya precisó que sus sistemas lograron interceptar y destruir un avión de transporte militar C-130 y dos helicópteros Black Hawk. Este viernes Reuters ya había informado sobre los disparos iraníes a los dos helicópteros Black Hawk involucrados en la búsqueda, que lograron escapar del espacio aéreo. “En evaluaciones complementarias realizadas por expertos en el lugar se determinó que dos aviones de transporte militar C-130 y dos helicópteros Black Hawk del Ejército estadounidense fueron destruidos”, ha asegurado el coronel iraní, Ebrahim Zolfagari, quien dijo que la operación estadounidense para rescatar a su piloto terminó en un “fracaso total”, según informó la agencia Tasnim. El presidente del Parlamento iraní, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, ha publicado en X una fotografía que muestra los posibles restos de un avión estadounidense derribado por las fuerzas iraníes. En el texto del 'tweet' ha celebrado: "Si Estados Unidos consigue tres victorias más como esta, quedará completamente arruinado". If the United States gets three more victories like this, it will be utterly ruined. 👏 pic.twitter.com/jutDghVrjz — محمدباقر قالیباف | MB Ghalibaf (@mb_ghalibaf) April 5, 2026 Según fuentes abiertas, el piloto del F-15E ha sido rescatado y evacuado de territorio iraní, aunque en el operativo, Estados Unidos ha perdido al menos dos aeronaves que habían quedado atascadas en terreno blando y que han sido dinamitadas para evitar su captura. Esto refuerza la versión estadounidense y del presidente Trump que ha asegurado que "jamás" abandonarán a un soldado estadounidense.

De Diego Carcedo , fallecido ayer en Madrid a los 86 años , admiré, además de su trayectoria, su voluntad de estar y de ser en la profesión periodística, incluso cuando su salud se le escapaba día a día. Su última intervención pública fue ante los Reyes el 19 de noviembre del año pasado con motivo de la entrega del premio Cuco Cerecedo concedido en su XLII edición a nuestro compañero Fran Sevilla. Como siempre desde hace veinte años, Diego leyó su discurso de bienvenida a Don Felipe y Doña Letizia, pero lo pronunció sentado en la mesa presidencial, sin posibilidad ya de hacerlo desde el atril. Su voz era trémula pero su determinación, absoluta. Luego, ya no asistió en diciembre a la sesión del Consejo Rector de la Asociación de Periodistas Europeos , que presidía desde 2006. Tuvimos noticia entonces los miembros del órgano de gobierno de la APE de su estado irreversible, a pesar de su desigual pelea con la enfermedad y de los cuidados constantes de su mujer, siempre a su lado, nuestra también compañera Cristina García Ramos. Carcedo hizo durante dos décadas pareja de hecho en el sostenimiento y progresión de la Asociación de Periodistas Europeos con Miguel Ángel Aguilar, su secretario general . De no ser por el esfuerzo altruista de ambos, y el apoyo de Juan Oñate , la APE quizá no hubiese sobrevivido a las muchas embestidas de las adversidades que han acosado y acosan a las entidades que, con una vocación fundacional de integración en la energía intelectual y profesional europea, siguen prestando apoyo al periodismo y a las libertades en nuestro país. Diego Carcedo resumía en su biografía el espejo en el que han podido mirarse miles de periodistas. Fue un corresponsal asombrosamente versátil (en Lisboa y Nueva York), un enviado especial arrojado y perspicaz, un informador riguroso y un columnista serio y solvente. Profesional del papel, su tránsito en el oficio discurrió más en la radio y la televisión pública española, en las que ocupó cargos de primera responsabilidad ( director de informativos de TVE , director de RNE, miembro del consejo de administración de RTVE, experto que concurrió con otros en la comisión de evaluación del presidente de la Corporación). Diego, además, ha sido un fecundo escritor de relatos y novelas. Quizá la obra que más le ha distinguido haya sido Fusiles y claveles: la revolución del 25 de abril en Portugal que se reeditó en 2024 con un título similar al original. Pero otros textos, muchos de ellos con relatos históricos muy centrados en aspectos colaterales, pero sustanciales, de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el Holocausto del nazismo, acreditaron su extensísima cultura y su particular sensibilidad que siempre estuvo al servicio de las buenas causas . Diego Carcedo, un asturiano de Cangas de Onís (1940), que ejercía de tal, formaba parte de una generación de periodistas que como el recientemente fallecido Raúl del Pozo y anterior a la del también desaparecido Fernando Ónega, vivió el tiempo histórico más apasionante de nuestro país —la Transición y su precedente ibérico en Portugal— y del mundo occidental basado en las reglas establecidas después de 1945. Calmado siempre en su expresión, pero herido por la súbita alteración de los valores profesionales y ciudadanos que como demócrata siempre mantuvo en vigor, no escondió ni su decepción ni su crítica al sesgo de los acontecimientos en España y al desorden mundial de los últimos años. Muere en Madrid a los 86 años el periodista Diego Carcedo EFE Carcedo destacó por ser el director de RNE y de los Servicios Informativos de TVE. En la actualidad era presidente de la Asociación de Periodistas Europeos (APE) Al tanto de la actualidad, Diego Carcedo ha sido un periodista interminable, inagotable, constante. Lo ha sido hasta el borde mismo de su fallecimiento, que nos sugiere a quienes le apreciamos la tristeza por su marcha, pero, al mismo tiempo, la celebración de su capacidad de referencia y ejemplo en lo personal y en lo profesional. Porque fue una gran persona y un magnífico periodista. Descanse en paz.

LONDON: The left-wing British Green Party has said it wants to separate the Church of England from the state if it wins the next general election, which must be held before August 2029. The Church of England has been the "established" church since the 16th-century Reformation, with the British monarch serving as its supreme governor. For traditionalists, this link is not merely ceremonial but is the foundational bedrock of British identity. The Greens have come under fire for seeking to remove centuries of British history and tradition by separating the church from British politics, with critics characterizing it as the latest move against Christianity in the U.K. GB News reported last month that the Green Party policy document stated: "No person shall hold office in the state, or be excluded from any such office, by virtue of their or their spouse's membership or non-membership of any religion or denomination of religion." UK FLAG CLASH AS FOREIGN BANNERS FLY, CITIZENS PUSH BACK AGAINST WOKE POLICIES RESHAPING BRITAIN Michael McManus, the director of research at the Henry Jackson Society, a U.K. think tank, told Fox News Digital, "Britain is a tolerant society but with clear Christian origins and culture. Aiming to disestablish the Church of England could be seen as an attempt to reject that ethical foundation without being clear what would replace it instead." High-profile figures have also weighed in on the debate, with actor and comedian John Cleese responding to a comment about the Greens' proposal by stating on X: "The UK has always been based at the deepest level on Christian values, regardless of dogma. Despite the many mistakes made by churches, for centuries British people have been influenced by Christ's teaching. If these values are replaced by Islamic ones, this will not be Britain anymore." FORMER UK PM DEFENDS TRUMP FOR HIGHLIGHTING 'SHARIA LAW' IN BRITAIN DURING UN SPEECH The Greens are a growing political force, placing second behind Reform UK in a recent YouGov poll. Another YouGov poll linked the Greens' rise in popularity with younger voters in the country, finding a majority of those between 18 and 24 supported them, while also doing well with women and other groups. A spokesperson for the Green Party told Fox News Digital, "We will be setting out our detailed plans for government at the time of the next General Election, just as we did at the last General Election. As always, our members will be shaping our priorities. These will again address the real and immediate needs of people and the planet, such as tackling the climate crisis, bringing down the cost of living and rebuilding our public services, including the NHS. Our focus is on the issues that impact ordinary people most." CHURCHILL, SHAKESPEARE AND THE UK FLAG ALL UNDER SIEGE IN MODERN BRITAIN, COMMENTATORS SAY Green Party leader Zack Polanski has defended a secular state. He has also drawn criticism for his support of legalizing drugs such as heroin and cocaine, his climate policies and anti- Israel positioning. The timing of the Green Party's push is particularly sensitive as it comes on the heels of the House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Act 2026, which passed last month, removing the last hereditary aristocrats from Parliament. With the hereditary principle gone, the presence of the "Lords Spiritual" has become the next logical target for constitutional reformers. There are currently 26 seats reserved for Church of England archbishops and bishops in the House of Lords. As the U.K. heads toward a local 2026 election cycle, the "Church and State" debate looks set to become a wedge issue. For the Greens, it represents their commitment to a "diverse and inclusive" Britain. For their detractors, it is a dangerous move that risks "de-Christianizing" the country at a moment of profound social uncertainty. Whether the proposal will mobilize a new "religious vote" or simply fade behind the urgency of other issues remains to be seen. What is clear, commentators say, is that the image of the established Church is increasingly being viewed through the lens of a much sharper and more polarized political fight .

Pope Leo XIV gave his first Easter blessing as pontiff on Sunday, calling for peace and urging the world not to grow indifferent to the deaths of tens of thousands in violent conflicts around the world. Leo gave the traditional Urbi et Orbi blessing from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica to a crowd in St. Peter’s Square that Vatican media described as numbering over 50,000. Leo said that in a world hurt by wars and abuses, people need hope and peace, urging against growing accustomed to violence and indifferent to the death of tens of thousands. "On this day of celebration let us abandon every desire for conflict domination and power and implore the Lord to grant his peace to a world ravaged by wars and marked by a hatred and indifference that makes us feel powerless to the face of evil," the pope said. IRISH PRIME MINISTER TAOISEACH MICHEÁL MARTIN ADDRESSES HOW EUROPE FEELS ABOUT US-IRAN CONFLICT Leo reminded the faithful that "the power with which Christ rose is entirely nonviolent." "In the light of Easter, let us allow ourselves to be amazed by Christ," he said. "Let us allow our hearts transformed by his immense love for us. Let those with weapons lay them down. Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace. Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue. Not through a desire to dominate others, but to encounter them." Leo also invoked what he said were the final words that Pope Francis issued to the world from the same balcony one year ago, during which the late pontiff warned of a "globalization of indifference." ISRAEL LOOKING FOR 'SOLUTIONS' TO OPEN CHRISTIAN SITES AFTER BARRING CHURCH LEADER ON PALM SUNDAY DUE TO WAR "What a great thirst for death, for killing we witness each day in the many conflicts raging in different parts of the world," Leo said, quoting Francis. Leo concluded the blessing by wishing everyone a happy Easter in 10 different languages and singing the Regina Ceoli. Leo earlier held his first Easter Mass as pope, in which he called for the faithful to exercise hope against "the violence of war that kills and destroys,’’ adding that in the face of conflicts spreading around the world, "we need this song of hope today." Leo has repeatedly called for a halt in hostilities as the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran enters its second month and Russia continues its violent campaign in Ukraine.

British prosecutors have charged three suspects — ages 17, 19 and 20 — in connection with a disturbing arson attack targeting Jewish community ambulances in north London. The March 23 incident unfolded at around 1:45 a.m. in the Golders Green neighborhood, where four ambulances operated by Hatzola, a volunteer emergency service serving the Jewish community, were deliberately set ablaze in a synagogue parking lot. Hamza Iqbal, 20, Rehan Khan, 19, and a 17-year-old boy are accused of arson with intent to damage property while recklessly endangering life, according to the Metropolitan Police . Officials said two of the suspects are British citizens , while one holds dual British and Pakistani citizenship. GUILTY VERDICTS IN ISIS PLOT POLICE SAY COULD HAVE BEEN 'THE DEADLIEST TERRORIST ATTACK IN UK HISTORY' All three were arrested Wednesday at separate locations across London. They did not enter pleas and were remanded in custody following a roughly 45-minute hearing Saturday afternoon at Westminster Magistrates’ Court , according to The Standard. Prosecutors said a fourth suspect was also arrested and taken into custody at the courthouse where the three charged men were appearing, according to Reuters. UK COUNTERTERRORISM POLICE PROBE ANTISEMITIC ARSON ATTACK AS IRAN-LINKED GROUP CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer previously condemned the attack as a "horrifying" antisemitic act . "An attack on our Jewish community is an attack on us all. We will fight the poison that is antisemitism," Starmer wrote on X on March 23. A report from the SITE Intelligence Group says an Iran-backed network calling itself the Islamic Movement of the People of the Right Hand has claimed responsibility, according to Reuters . UK ARRESTS 2 OVER 'ANTISEMITIC ARSON ATTACK' AS POLICE INVESTIGATE POSSIBLE IRAN LINK Despite the claim, officials have not formally classified the case as terrorism. However, counterterrorism police are leading the investigation, Metropolitan Police said. Police in the United Kingdom previously arrested two additional men, ages 45 and 47, in the days following the attack. They were later released on bail, according to the Metropolitan Police. "I want to reiterate that the support we had from the local community since this attack took place has been incredible, and we will continue to work closely with local policing colleagues to do everything we can to keep the public safe," Commander Helen Flanagan, head of Counter Terrorism Policing London, said in a statement. The Metropolitan Police did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. Fox News Digital's Efrat Lachter and Greg Norman, as well as Reuters contributed to this report.

Just under three years ago, the Food and Drug Administration deemed 19 peptide drugs too unsafe to be dispensed by compounding pharmacies, which mix components of approved drugs to create bespoke medication for people who have trouble taking commonly available products. Now, under Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the agency is poised to reverse itself. That’s despite few clinical studies supporting the effectiveness or safety of these peptides, which are amino acid chains meant to help regulate functions in the body and have become popular among fitness and longevity enthusiasts. In February, Kennedy said the FDA acted illegally in 2023 when it categorized 19 peptides as too unsafe for compounders, whose final products aren’t tested or approved by the FDA. Kennedy, who described himself as a “big fan” of peptides, has used the therapies himself. “It was illegal because they’re not supposed to do that unless there’s a safety signal,” Kennedy said on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast , referring to adverse events related to medications. “And they didn’t have a safety signal. They’re not allowed to look at efficacy. They’re not allowed to say, ‘Well, we don’t believe these are efficacious,’ or whatever. They can only look at safety.” But three former FDA officials closely familiar with how the agency created the criteria to assess the peptides in the first place say Kennedy has mischaracterized their work. The agency’s 2023 decision to ban certain peptides was supported by numerous documented safety concerns, they said. FDA regulations also require the agency to assess both safety and effectiveness before approving a substance for compounding. “It would be a disruption of the societal pact we have had since 1962 that drugs will be studied to see if they work before they are marketed in the U.S.,” said Janet Woodcock, a former FDA acting commissioner. If Kennedy justifies reversal of the previous work by suggesting there were no safety concerns, it would give a false imprimatur of safety to more than a dozen unapproved, untested drugs, the officials said. There’s been little new science on the 19 peptides since the FDA’s 2023 decision to categorize them as unsafe. But demand for the drugs has exploded as influencers have flooded social media with promises of sculpted physiques, glowing skin, luscious hair, rapidly healing injuries, youthful energy and blazing sex lives. Ads on Meta platforms claim peptide users can get a range of health benefits. Obtained by ProPublica The demand has given rise to a burgeoning gray market, where wellness spas, multilevel marketers and telehealth websites ply the public with vials of “research grade” peptides labeled “not for human use.” “More people want to use them,” said Lauren Colenso-Semple, a muscle physiology researcher and science communication specialist who follows scientific studies of peptides as part of her work. “That’s what’s changed.” FDA-approved peptide drugs such as insulin and oxytocin have been available for decades. Newer ones such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, broadly known as GLP-1s, have exploded in popularity for weight loss and have shown promise for treating other conditions , such as addictions and neurodegenerative and liver diseases. The popularity of these drugs has led the public to become more comfortable with injectables and has helped drive attention to other gray-market peptides. Last year, at a Las Vegas conference promising radical life extension, two women became critically ill after being injected with peptides the FDA had categorized as unsafe. Although Nevada regulators investigated and fined the health practitioners involved in administering the peptides, investigators weren’t able to determine the exact cause of the reaction. The doctor who ran the booth where the women became ill said he didn’t believe that the peptides caused their reactions but apologized for the incident and said he would review his practices. The Alliance for Pharmacy Compounding, one of the largest industry associations lobbying for the FDA to change its stance on peptides, acknowledges it knows little about the safety of individual peptides being sold to the public. (Its CEO says it is an advocacy organization, not a scientific one.) But the group argues the public would be safer if peptides were handled by regulated compounding pharmacies instead of the gray market. The FDA should forgo the usual human clinical trials in order to bring about this shift, a spokesperson for the alliance said. “Where we don’t have research, clinical trials, what we’ve got a ton of, is, shall we say, testimonials, patient affidavits, attesting to the wonders of the drug,” said Scott Brunner, the alliance’s chief executive officer. “And RFK Jr. is one of those testifiers.” On the Rogan podcast, Kennedy wasn’t clear on exactly how the FDA would let compounders start dispensing peptides, describing it only as “some kind of action” to make “about 14” peptides “more accessible.” Nor has he specified which peptides he wants to make available. (Neither the FDA nor HHS responded to ProPublica’s requests for more information.) But several regulatory shortcuts exist and, ultimately, Kennedy could simply declare the ingredients are legal. “He has all of the authority,” said Woodcock, likening such a declaration to former HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius’ unilateral 2011 reversal of the FDA’s decision to lift age restrictions on the emergency contraception Plan B. (A judge ultimately found Sebelius’ move to be arbitrary and capricious and nullified it.) “The secretary can do anything they want.” A commercial for a GLP-1 drug appeared on television screens at a bar in Los Angeles during the Super Bowl LX broadcast. The Food and Drug Administration has approved peptide drugs such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, known as GLP-1s, and they have exploded in popularity for weight loss and shown promise for treating other conditions. Jill Connelly/Bloomberg/Getty Images The Bulks List The FDA’s road to regulating compounding pharmacies — and by extension the peptides they seek to dispense — has been long and tedious. Much of the regulatory fight has focused on which ingredients compounders should be allowed to use. Under a 1997 law, the first passed by Congress to regulate the industry, compounders can only use ingredients that are a component of an approved drug, have what’s known as a USP monograph (essentially a third-party certified recipe for a drug used mainly by manufacturers of generics), or are listed as approved substances by the FDA. This FDA list, known as “the bulks list,” is at the center of the ongoing peptide debate. Litigation and pressure from the industry and lawmakers delayed for decades the creation of the bulks list, leaving compounders in limbo on scores of substances, not just peptides. “Everything was a fight. It was a huge fight,” said one former FDA official who has spent more than 30 years working on compounding policies. The former official asked not to be named to avoid a public debate with the industry. The need for the list took on new urgency in 2012, when more than 60 people died from fungal meningitis infections contracted from a drug produced at a compounding facility and dispensed to hundreds of people. Congress passed another law further regulating large compounders that sell medications to doctors’ offices and hospitals rather than individual patients. The new law also prompted the agency to move more quickly on establishing the bulks list. The FDA asked the industry to nominate substances for inclusion on the list. It did so, nominating thousands of ingredients, including, for example, purified water and asparagus. “They put in everything,” the official said. “Literally thousands of nominations with absolutely no justification for why it needed to be there.” Each substance would have to be reviewed individually before it could be added to the bulks list. The agency would have to solicit public comment and an advisory committee of health and pharmacy experts would have to review the FDA’s research. Reviewing them “was a massive effort. The agency proceeded glacially, but really we were speeding as fast as we could,” the official said. In 2017, under pressure to move more quickly, the FDA came up with an interim solution. It substantially narrowed the list of nominated ingredients, quickly reviewed each remaining substance and placed them into three categories. The first was substances with enough of a safety track record that the agency felt comfortable letting compounders use them while the final list was assembled. The second category included substances considered too risky for compounding. And the third included those without enough supporting information for the FDA to make an informed decision and therefore wouldn’t be used for compounding. This categorization didn’t constitute a formal regulation; rather the agency was using its discretion not to go after compounders who used ingredients it deemed safe — those from the first category. In 2023, the FDA placed 19 peptides in Category 2, which already included a handful of substances the agency considered to be dangerous. This is what Kennedy has called “the war on peptides.” In explaining its decisions, the FDA pointed to well-established research in peptide drug development that injectable peptides carry the risk of causing immune reactions. Such reactions can range from responses with “no clinical manifestations” to irritating rashes to life-threatening conditions such as anaphylactic shock, which constricts breathing and impairs motor function. Peptides occur naturally in the body but break down quickly after serving their purpose. Peptide drugs, on the other hand, are manufactured to last longer in the body to create a therapeutic response, such as controlling appetite or promoting the growth of new blood vessels, bone density or muscle. “Now that it’s been tweaked to make it something else, the immune system can recognize it as foreign and there’s the potential issue of having an unwanted immune response,” Colenso-Semple said. The manufacturing process can also introduce impurities — like bacteria or heavy metals — into peptide drugs. They also are sensitive to environmental conditions and can change chemical composition if stored at the wrong temperatures or shaken too vigorously, increasing the risk of an immune response or decreasing their effectiveness. And when a substance is injected, as opposed to taken orally, it bypasses most of the body’s natural defenses. The risk of an immune response is common to peptide drugs in general. But individual peptides also present specific potential risks. The FDA reviewed data to assess these risks and found limited human studies on a few peptide therapies; most have only been studied in animals or in clinical populations like HIV patients. What human data the FDA did find for individual peptides indicated the potential for harm. Subjects in studies of six individual peptides — growth hormone releasing peptide-2, ibutamoren mesylate, ipamorelin, CJC-1295, AOD-9604 and melanotan II — experienced adverse events, including death. (It wasn’t proven whether the deaths were caused by the peptides or by something else.) Ultimately, the FDA decided not enough data existed to allay the known safety concerns. “Of course any adverse event can be a flag,” said another former FDA official who worked in the compounding division when the peptides were categorized as unsafe. The former official asked not to be named because they work in public health and don’t want to antagonize the current administration. “Also, if there is no clinical data for a substance, and an awareness that the substance has the propensity for harm, that could make it an appropriate placement on the Category 2 list.” Attendees are taught how to draw blood during a “peptide rave” in San Francisco last year. Jason Henry/The New York Times/Redux Are They Safe? Putting the peptides on the unsafe list didn’t change much for compounders. Because those peptides aren’t components of an approved drug and don’t carry a USP monograph, compounders weren’t allowed to dispense them anyway. “All that did was put an exclamation point on it,” Brunner said. In the months after the FDA’s announcement, his organization repeatedly warned its members not to dispense peptides. But the listing prompted at least two peptide companies to sue the FDA, arguing it was dragging its feet on creating the bulks list of allowed compounding substances. To date, only six substances have made it through the process to be put on the list, none of which are peptides and none of which are injectables. As the lawsuit wound its way through federal court, the FDA agreed to accelerate the review of four peptides named in the lawsuit: CJC-1295, AOD-9604, thymosin-alpha and ipamorelin acetate. It also decided to move forward on two other peptides not listed in the complaint: kisspeptin and ibutamoren mesylate. Online marketing claims these peptides help with, among other things, weight loss, muscle-building, anti-aging, insomnia, tissue repair and sexual dysfunction. Marketers also claim thymosin-alpha, one of the more studied peptides, can help with immune function, Lyme disease and COVID-19. In the final months of the Biden administration, the FDA convened the expert advisory committee and presented its research on the six peptides. In reports up to 158 pages long, the agency detailed the science behind the immune response risk in synthetic peptides, listed documented adverse events associated with the drugs and summarized the limited research on human subjects. In each case, the FDA recommended against putting the peptide on the bulks list for compounders. “I can’t imagine anybody looking at this data and being comfortable” making these available to the public, Colenso-Semple said. The peptide industry was given just 10 minutes before the committee to present arguments that the six peptides were safe. Speakers offered anecdotal evidence from their own and others’ practices. Even though peptides can’t legally be used by compounders, many were dispensing the drugs because the FDA has been lax in enforcing its regulations. “Many of the peptides that have been placed on Category 2 have been used successfully by thousands of our practitioners treating hundreds of thousands of patients who utilize these compounds to energize cellular function and give the body what it needs to help address sickness and disease, including obesity, diabetes and addiction,” said Dan DeNeui, CEO of one of the peptide companies that sued the FDA. His wife, Terri DeNeui, a nurse practitioner and founder of their company Evexias Health Solutions, presented information from a survey of 508 patients treated with various peptides that said 19% reported uncomfortable side effects and less than 1% experienced an adverse event. They also contended peptides would be more safely dispensed by regulated compounders than on the gray market — the argument now being made by the Alliance for Compounding Pharmacies. The active ingredients in the drugs would be manufactured at an FDA-registered facility subject to inspection, and compounders are overseen by state boards of pharmacies to ensure sterile conditions. That’s “a heck of a lot better than what many consumers are doing,” getting advice in chat rooms and “ordering some substance that purports to be a peptide and may or may not be,” Brunner told ProPublica. While that argument addresses quality-control concerns associated with the gray market, it doesn’t confront the fundamental question of whether peptides are safe. “They’re totally unapproved drugs,” said one of the former FDA officials. “Would you let a pharmaceutical company do this? No. No way.” In the end, the advisory committee sided with the FDA and endorsed its initial decision that the six peptides were too risky to be dispensed to the public. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has vowed to end the “war on peptides.” Aaron Schwartz/CNP/Bloomberg/Getty Images What Happens Now? Unhappy with the advisory committee’s decision, the compounding industry has amplified its argument that the FDA review process for the bulks list is broken. The advisory committee had few working compounders on it and didn’t give those who opposed the decision on peptides enough time to present its arguments, industry advocates say. With a new administration, whose health secretary has used peptides himself and is trying to advance alternative health practices, they see an opportunity. They hope the FDA will appoint more members with compounding experience to the committee and ease enforcement on peptides while it continues the established regulatory process. “Given the scale of demand — demand that is going to be met, if not by a state licensed compounding pharmacy, then by the black and gray markets — we believe the lens that the FDA is using related to these peptides, at least some of the peptides, is the wrong lens,” Brunner said. “They’re wanting research, clinical trials. They’re wanting a certain amount of certitude that, frankly, is appropriate for most drugs, but not for this moment.” Regulatory shortcuts exist that would allow the FDA to skip the more laborious approval process. The FDA could simply remove the peptides from Category 2, those it considers unsafe. It could place them in Category 1, allowing them to be used in compounding. Or it could announce it’s changing its enforcement strategy and not going after compounders who work with these substances. None of that would be safe for the public, Woodcock contends. Congress intended for the FDA to “refer to a substantive body of evidence about the safety and effectiveness” of ingredients put on the bulks list, she said. “This wasn’t supposed to be a route for unapproved drugs to get into the market,” she said. “Not even Congress was thinking that.” The post RFK Jr. May Reverse a Peptide Ban He Calls “Illegal.” Former FDA Officials Say He Mischaracterized Their Work. appeared first on ProPublica .

Our reporting started, like much of our work, in a spreadsheet. As I parsed through federal court data, I noticed something odd: Within months of President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2025, prosecutors began filing obscure charges related to trespassing on military property — so many, in fact, that more cases were filed in 2025 than in the prior decade. Nearly all of these charges originated from cases along the U.S. southern border, where last spring, the White House designated large swaths of land as national defense areas. Putting them under military authority allowed troops to play an unprecedented role in apprehending undocumented immigrants; federal soldiers are generally barred from enforcing the law on domestic soil. If you were caught in one of these zones, the government could also now prosecute you for breaking federal laws, including one enacted in 1909 to keep spies away from arsenals. In an investigation we published recently, my co-reporters Perla Trevizo, Abe Streep, Pratheek Rebala and I dug into what experts say is a major flaw afflicting these prosecutions that threatens to ensnare people for crimes they did not commit: Migrants didn’t know the land they were crossing now belonged to the armed forces. And many judges have ruled that you can’t be guilty of trespassing on military land if you had no idea you were on it. Since April of last year, we found, at least 4,700 immigrants already charged with entering the country illegally faced these military trespass charges; at least one had to wait in jail for more than a month to stand trial. Most of the charges didn’t stick. In fact, we found that in 60% of the resolved cases, the trespass charges were dropped or dismissed. Yet prosecutors kept filing them.

Source: Federal Justice Center’s Integrated Database. Agnel Philip/ProPublica As we visited courtrooms in West Texas and New Mexico and pored through case records, it became clear how hard it would be to prove that someone knowingly trespassed on military land. Some couldn’t read. At least one person didn’t speak English or Spanish. The small signs are spaced far apart and easy to miss, and many migrants were arrested far away from them. A Justice Department spokesperson said the prosecutions have deterred unauthorized border crossings and cartel activity. And prosecutors have argued in court that illegally crossing is enough to prove criminal intent for the military trespassing charges. Senior officials in the U.S. attorney’s offices handling trespass cases declined repeated interview requests. In November, Perla, Abe and I set out to report throughout southern New Mexico and West Texas to see for ourselves what information we could gather about where the zones were and how they were marked. Abe and I arranged a ride-along with Doña Ana County Sheriff Kim Stewart, whose New Mexico agency shares jurisdiction with Border Patrol and the military in one of the zones.  A sergeant from her office drove us along a dirt road that parallels the border as she pointed out 12-by-18-inch red and white signs opposite the fence. She told us her office hadn’t received specific information about where the military zone boundaries were; all they had were the signs. Even in broad daylight, it was difficult to read the words on them unless we got within a few feet. Small signs like this are posted around the national defense areas, but their size and placement often make them difficult to see. Paul Ratje for ProPublica and The Texas Tribune On another outing in New Mexico — this time with the photographer Paul Ratje — I went to a spot in Sunland Park where Ratje said he’d previously taken photos of the border fence. The 2-acre dirt lot sat less than a mile from residential neighborhoods and a popular Italian restaurant. From the lot, we could see more red and white signs along the nearby border road. While we were taking pictures, a pickup truck with a Border Patrol livery approached us. I was surprised to see that inside, instead of Border Patrol agents, there were two Army soldiers. The soldier in the passenger seat pointed to the signage along the border road and told us not to go past there. The border road was part of the defense area, he told us, though the lot we were standing in wasn’t. The next day, Perla and I returned to the same location. This time, a Border Patrol agent drove up. The lot was part of the defense area, he told us. When I pointed out that I had been given conflicting information the previous day, the agent said he was told by the military that people couldn’t be in this area. We left. (An Army spokesperson said that the base responsible for the defense area in New Mexico published a map in December; the lot was not included in it.) My interactions with Border Patrol and the military had so far only added to our confusion about these areas. Later that day, Perla and I drove south to a stretch of border fence along the Rio Grande near Tornillo, Texas. We saw a Border Patrol van near a gate in the fence. We thought we’d try to ask where the defense area was. Before we could do that, another Border Patrol van pulled up to us. Soldiers, including one with a rifle strapped across his shoulder, emerged from both vehicles. Another soldier told us he was “not at liberty to discuss” the national defense area’s exact location.  Read More The Trump Administration’s “Disturbing” New Legal Strategy to Prosecute Border Crossers Is Taxing Courts and Testing the Law The response bewildered us. We asked him how we were supposed to know whether we were trespassing. He shrugged. (Spokespeople for U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Defense did not directly answer questions about these interactions.) As we got back into our rental SUV, Perla and I wondered: If we, as reporters who investigate things for a living, couldn’t get a straight answer on where these military zones were, how did the government expect people crossing the border to do better?  In the four months between our reporting trip and the publication of our investigation on March 16, the government continued to file military trespassing charges in more than 1,300 cases. And it’s established new military zones, too, in Arizona, California and Texas. The post Why We Went Looking for National Defense Areas Along the U.S. Southern Border appeared first on ProPublica .

The Trump administration official leading an effort to loosen rules on methane pollution was an unnamed author of key industry arguments against those same rules just four years ago when he was an oil and gas lobbyist. Aaron Szabo, an assistant administrator at the Environmental Protection Agency, is listed in PDF metadata as the author of a January 2022 comment letter objecting to proposed controls on methane emissions in the oil and gas industry. The letter was submitted to the EPA by the American Exploration and Production Council, which represents some of the industry’s largest emitters of the planet-warming gas, including ConocoPhillips, Diversified Energy and Hilcorp. Szabo’s name does not appear in the document itself, but it can be found in information embedded by the software used to create the PDF file. Szabo was registered as a lobbyist for one of the AXPC’s lesser-known members, Ovintiv, when he drafted the arguments against the restrictions, which were finalized later in the Biden administration. He has also lobbied for other clients in the oil and chemicals sectors. While he did not hide that work during his confirmation last year as head of the EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation, he described it in terms that avoided any mention of efforts to influence climate policy: “I learned how regulated entities comply with the federal government’s thousands of regulations and policies. I also saw firsthand that the people working in these companies want to ensure the environment is properly protected.” In his current role overseeing federal climate rules at the EPA, Szabo has been soliciting input and even specific regulatory language from oil industry groups that stand to gain from watered-down methane rules, according to internal emails, calendar entries and records of closed-door conversations reviewed by ProPublica. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., the ranking Democrat on the Senate’s Environment and Public Works Committee, pointed to Szabo’s previous lobbying as evidence that the EPA had effectively been captured by the oil and gas industry. “Now he can do Big Oil’s dirty work from inside the EPA,” Whitehouse told ProPublica in an email. As part of its plan to “unleash American energy,” the Trump administration has waged an unprecedented campaign against regulations on fossil fuels, the main cause of global warming. One of its biggest moves was to repeal the “endangerment finding” that classified greenhouse gases as pollutants — the basis for the EPA’s authority to limit emissions at all. Rather than throw out the methane rules entirely, however, Szabo’s office is working to revise them, emails and documents show. It has already delayed many of the compliance deadlines until next year. Methane, the main component of natural gas, is a climate superpollutant, responsible for one-third of the rise in global temperatures since preindustrial times, according to the United Nations Environment Programme. When it escapes into the atmosphere without being burned for energy, it can trap 80 times more heat than carbon dioxide, research shows. The oil and gas business is the largest industrial source of U.S. methane emissions, in part because of leaks from poorly maintained equipment. If it is uneconomical to collect the gas for sale, companies sometimes intentionally release it in a process known as venting. To cut down on methane discharges, President Joe Biden’s EPA imposed much stricter controls on oil and gas operations, including requiring increased monitoring for leaks and equipment upgrades. According to agency estimates, the new rules would have lowered the industry’s methane emissions by nearly 80%. And, given that the gas breaks down relatively quickly, this would have been one of the fastest ways to reduce global warming. Industry groups pushed back. In the January 2022 letter that Szabo helped to draft, the AXPC used the word “burdensome” 10 times to describe the new requirements and pushed for more “flexibility” to allow for less expensive leak-detection methods and less frequent monitoring, among other requests. The group also cast doubt on the rules’ expected climate and health benefits, highlighting what it called “the importance of communicating the significant uncertainties within the estimates.” The AXPC’s chief executive, Anne Bradbury, added in a later statement that the rules risked “undercutting US production in the near and long-term — which will lead to increased energy costs and reduced energy security.” Do you have any information we should know about Trump’s EPA, oil industry lobbying or methane pollution? Alex Cuadros can be reached by email at alex.cuadros@propublica.org and on Signal at alexcuadros.63. The AXPC failed to persuade the Biden administration to change its approach. But it renewed its push after President Donald Trump returned to office and ordered federal agencies to “suspend, revise, or rescind” any “undue burden” on domestic energy production. Szabo, after two years as a fellow at the Trump-aligned America First Policy Institute, joined the administration on Day 1 as an adviser to EPA chief Lee Zeldin. He immediately signaled that he planned to weaken the regulations he had argued against as a lobbyist. His staff met with AXPC representatives as early as Feb. 6, 2025, less than three weeks after Trump’s inauguration, to discuss its petition to “reconsider” the methane rules, according to emails and calendar entries obtained through public records requests and shared with ProPublica by Fieldnotes, a watchdog group that investigates the oil and gas industry. His staff went on to meet with them at least twice more, and Szabo himself was listed as a required attendee for a meeting with Bradbury last July. The AXPC didn’t respond to emails from ProPublica seeking comment. According to records of closed-door conversations reviewed by ProPublica, other oil industry representatives have described their meetings with Szabo and his staff as highly favorable to their interests. “Mr. Szabo assured us that the EPA is focused on these [methane] rules and doing everything that can be done to limit the damage they will cause,” the leadership of a major trade group wrote to its members last year in an internal newsletter. Lee Fuller, of the Independent Petroleum Association of America, also spoke glowingly about his meeting with Szabo’s office on a conference call with industry representatives last year. “It was one of the more fascinating meetings that we’ve ever had, just because they were suddenly willing to talk to us,” he said. “And they’re also suddenly willing to talk about things that we’ve been trying to get them to do for years, and they’ve never even let it kind of come onto the radar screen.” The IPAA declined to answer specific questions from ProPublica but linked to a September 2025 letter in which the group publicly asked the EPA for exceptions to the methane rules. Szabo’s office has even invited oil industry groups to offer specific wording for the revised rules. “We had a call several weeks back re. pneumatics on temporary equipment,” Mike O’Connor of the American Petroleum Institute wrote to an EPA official, referring to devices that are a major source of methane emissions. “EPA had informally requested input on this topic and any suggested reg. text language. We are providing the attached draft document as informal input to EPA’s inquiry.” The draft called for a number of exemptions. The shift in priorities under Szabo can also be seen in communications from the EPA itself. In a June 2025 email reviewed by ProPublica, an agency official asked O’Connor to meet and discuss alternative leak-detection methods. Echoing the language in the AXPC comment that Szabo helped to draft, the official spoke of “the additional flexibility we would like to pursue.” “I think their agenda was, from what I could tell, to do what industry wanted,” one former EPA official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe confidential discussions, said of Szabo and other Trump appointees at the agency. “Since when is it a bad thing for public officials to ask the public what they think?” the EPA said in an emailed statement, referring to Szabo’s interactions with oil industry representatives. Szabo “fulfilled all his ethical obligations to the letter. He met with EPA career ethics staff when he started at EPA to ensure he is aware of and complies with federal ethics requirements.” Szabo’s affinities are hardly a secret. He is thanked by name in the EPA chapter of Project 2025, the deregulatory blueprint for the second Trump administration. As part of the nomination process for his appointment at the EPA, he also submitted ethics disclosures listing oil, natural gas and chemicals companies he had lobbied for. Still, at his confirmation hearing on March 5 last year, he repeatedly declined to elaborate on his role in Project 2025, beyond saying he provided “general advice and thoughts” on the Clean Air Act.
