The citizens of New York are used to living with rats on their streets, but in recent months the sightings of these rodents have increased by 71%. Experts say this is because more waste was generated during the pandemic, which means a greater source of food for rats. But the dirt on the streets and other conditions mean that the situation is not easy to solve. We analyze it in this edition of Enlace North America.
It is no coincidence that Cyrus released her new song, in which she returned to singing after a hiatus of nearly three years, on the same date as her husband and ex-lover’s birthday, especially since her words indicate that she is talking about her story that ended with separation.
Cyrus says in her song: “I can buy myself flowers, write my name in the sand, talk to myself for hours, yeah, some things you don’t understand.”
And she continues: “But I can dance with myself, hold my hand with myself, yes, I can love myself better than you loved me.”
The American singer presented these words with great passion, confirming that she expresses what is going through her mind, and addresses a person she truly loved.
It is noteworthy that the love story that brought together American Miley Cyrus, 30, with Australian Liam Hemsworth, 33, began a long time ago, as Cyrus got engaged to Liam in 2012, but they did not last long at that time, and they announced their separation after one year.
The relationship between the duo was renewed in 2016, and they continued a love relationship for two years, before they announced their marriage in 2018, but this marriage did not last long, and the singer and singer returned to separation in 2020. (Zahrat Al-Khaleej)
Winter storms hit the US, homeless people are getting tougher
Recently, California has been hit by a winter storm. As of the 10th, the storm has killed at least 17 people.
Severe weather has made things even harder for the homeless, a long-standing problem in many California cities that has been battered by winter storms.
This is along the American River in Sacramento County, California, and it is also a temporary shelter for dozens of homeless people. Robert Vincenti, one of the homeless people, said the bad weather made their situation even more difficult.
Homeless Robert Vincenti (voice source): I don’t want to be here forever.
River levels are rising due to heavy rainfall brought by winter storms. From the 8th to the 9th, Sacramento County sent helicopters to remind the homeless people living by the river to evacuate.
Helicopter broadcast: If you are homeless and live near a river, you are advised to evacuate.
But what confuses the homeless is, where can they evacuate? According to ABC reports, the Sacramento County government provides temporary hotel accommodation for about 200 homeless people. However, the number of homeless people in Sacramento County is currently large, reaching nearly 9,300, and the local shelters are far from enough.
According to reports, the winter storm killed at least two homeless people in Sacramento County. On the 7th and 8th of this month, a 40-year-old and a 61-year-old homeless person died respectively. Rescuers at the scene found that their tents were under the weight of trees that had been blown down by strong winds.
Many homeless people in San Diego face a similar situation. Due to the rising water level of the river, some homeless people who also “set up camp” by the river had to evacuate in a hurry.
Michael McConnell, a social activist who provides assistance to the homeless: They didn’t even wear a coat, and some people fled before they had time to put on their shoes because the water level of the river kept rising.
According to a report by Fox Television in the United States, last December, the number of homeless people in downtown San Diego hit a new high, reaching 1,839. McConnell believes that this is just the beginning. As rents and other living costs continue to rise, the number of local homeless people may further increase in the future.
Michael McConnell, a social activist who provides assistance to the homeless: All these factors affect vulnerable groups in society, and they may become homeless, leading to more and more people sleeping on the streets.
In addition, the homeless problem in Los Angeles is also worsening. Statistics for February 2022 show that in the Greater Los Angeles area, which includes five counties in southern California, there are more than 69,000 homeless people, a 55% increase from 2015.
Al-Marsad newspaper: German channel Welt has launched an attack on the Moroccan national team, comparing the players to elements of ISIS.
The channel published a photo of 3 players who raised their index fingers in the locker room to celebrate their victory during the World Cup in Qatar.
The German broadcaster said: This is maddening and provocative, this is the sign of the terrorist organization (ISIS).
The channel has tried to send a message that they are terrorists, not football players.
The German channel sparked widespread controversy over the report, and tweeters felt that the goal of comparing the players to elements of the ISIS terrorist organization is only to distort the players’ image.
