(CNN) — Fran Drescher, presidenta del sindicato SAG-AFTRA, respondió el jueves a las críticas por haber viajado a Italia para asistir a las fiestas de Alta Moda de Dolce & Gabbana el pasado fin de semana, cuando su sindicato de actores, formado por 160.000 miembros, se enfrentaba a la fecha límite para declararse en huelga.En una rueda de prensa ese mismo día —durante la cual Drescher anunció oficialmente que el sindicato irá a la huelga después de que fracasaran las conversaciones con los principales estudios y streamers de Hollywood— se le preguntó por la “óptica” de haber sido vista tomándose una “selfie” con Kim Kardashian en el evento en Italia.“Eso no fue una selfie”, dijo Drescher, y añadió después: “Soy embajadora de marca de una empresa de moda y Kim también lo es. Había conocido a Kim apenas segundos antes de que se hiciera esa foto publicitaria”.Añadió que “no tenía nada que ver con estar en una fiesta divirt...Putin gives his account of post-mutiny Prigozhin meeting, insists ‘PMC Wagner does not exist’

Russian President Vladimir Putin has given his own account of a June 29 meeting with Wagner mutineer Yevgeny Prigozhin and his men in the Kremlin after the paramilitary group’s aborted mutiny, claiming he gave the fighters an opportunity to continue fighting in Ukraine. Speaking to a reporter from Russia’s state-controlled Kommersant newspaper on Thursday, Putin said 35 Wagner fighters accompanied Prigozhin to the three-hour meeting in the Kremlin last month. The Russian president said he offered Wagner troops several options, including continuing to operate under the command of someone he identified by the call sign “Sedoy,” meaning “Gray-haired,” whom they had served under for 16 months. “All of them could have gathered in one place and continued to serve,” Putin said, “and nothing would have changed for them. They would have been led by the same person who has been their real commander all this time.” “Many people nodded...3 takeaways from the Chicago White Sox’s 2023 MLB draft, including how Downers Grove North’s George Wolkow stood out

A court in central China said on Friday a Chinese kindergarten teacher who poisoned 25 of her students, killing one, has been executed. A notice posted outside the No. 1 Intermediate Court in the Henan province city of Jiaozuo said Wang Yun’s sentence had been carried out on Thursday. Wang, 40, was convicted of putting toxic sodium nitrite in porridge served to children at Mengmeng Pre-school Education on March 27, 2019, following an argument with a colleague identified only by the surname Sun over “student management.” While other students recovered fairly quickly, one student, identified only by the surname Wang, died from multiple organ failure after 10 months of treatment, the notice said. A high-school dropout, Wang had previously poisoned her husband with the same substance bought online two years ago. He survived with mild injuries. While Wang’s motivation was presented as revenge, it wasn’t clear if she had intended to kill or merely sicken her husband and the st...Striking actors will begin picketing alongside writers in fight over the future of Hollywood

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Striking screen actors will begin picketing alongside writers in New York and Los Angeles on Friday in what has become the biggest Hollywood labor fight in decades.The double-barreled strike will shut down the small number of productions that continued shooting in the two months since screenwriters stopped working. Many actors made a show of solidarity on the writers’ picket lines, including Fran Drescher, the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists president and former star of “The Nanny.” The union’s 65,000-member actors’ branch will now formally join them as fellow strikers.The two guilds have similar issues with studios and streaming services. They are concerned about contracts keeping up with inflation, residual payments in the streaming era and putting up guardrails against the use of artificial intelligence mimicking their work on film and television shows.

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development projects that the economies of the five Central Asian countries – Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan – will grow by at least 5.2 % on average in 2023 and 5.4 % in 2024. This trajectory has been in place for two decades, which is undoubtedly welcome news.Over the past 20 years, Central Asian countries’ GDP has grown more than sevenfold at an average rate of 6.2%, which is faster than in most developing countries and more than twice as fast as the world as a whole.The region is also taking full advantage of its transit potential. The total foreign trade turnover of the Central Asian states over the last six years has exceeded $200 billion. Last year, Kazakhstan’s trade turnover broke a historical record, reaching $134.4 billion, exceeding the pre-pandemic level of $97.8 billion in 2019. Mutual trade between Central Asian countries is growing even faster than their total foreign trade.Despite these posit...India busca conquistar la Luna con su histórica misión Chandrayaan-3
