La Mesa Internacional con Susana Mangana, Leo Harari y Gonzalo Pérez del Castillo. *** La gira del presidente Donald Trump por el Golfo Pérsico, que culminó el fin de semana pasado, marcó un giro significativo en la política exterior de Estados Unidos en Oriente Medio. Tradicionalmente, Israel ha sido considerado uno de los aliados más cercanos de Washington en la región. Sin embargo, en esta ocasión Trump optó por avanzar en cuestiones clave como el acuerdo nuclear con Irán, la situación en Siria y Yemen, y la relación con los países del Golfo, sin consultar ni coordinar con el primer ministro israelí, Benjamín Netanyahu. Esta decisión generó tensiones y cuestionamientos sobre el futuro de la alianza entre Estados Unidos e Israel. Por su lado, Trump considera a los países del Golfo como lugares confiables —y con una riqueza considerable— para hacer negocios. "El nacimiento de un Medio Oriente moderno ha sido obra de los propios habitantes de la región, de personas que están aquí, que han vivido aquí toda su vida y que han desarrollado sus propios países soberanos, han perseguido sus propias visiones y han trazado sus propios destinos". ¿Qué consecuencias puede tener esta movida de Trump? ¿Abrirá nuevas oportunidades de diálogo entre Estados Unidos y países tradicionalmente enfrentados a Israel, como Irán o Qatar? ¿Cómo repercutirá en el equilibrio de poder en Medio Oriente?

En el episodio de hoy de VG Daily, Juan Manuel de los Reyes y Eugenio Garibay, analizan a fondo los beneficios y repercusiones de la reciente visita de Donald Trump a Arabia Saudita y otros países del Golfo. El episodio destaca el histórico acuerdo entre Boeing y Qatar Airways, la mayor venta de aviones de fuselaje ancho en la historia de la compañía, así como el impacto de los nuevos tratos tecnológicos, como el acuerdo preliminar para que Emiratos Árabes Unidos importe chips avanzados de Nvidia. Ambos movimientos reflejan cómo la región está posicionándose como un actor clave en la economía global y la innovación tecnológica, mientras Estados Unidos busca fortalecer alianzas estratégicas y comerciales en Medio Oriente.En la segunda parte, Juan Manuel y Eugenio profundizan en el impacto de este entorno político y económico sobre los mercados financieros, especialmente en renta fija, renta variable y tasas de interés. Analizan cómo la volatilidad política, las nuevas políticas económicas y los acuerdos internacionales están generando incertidumbre y oportunidades en los mercados, afectando las expectativas de los inversionistas y la respuesta de la Reserva Federal.

La ciudad egipcia de Sharm El Sheikh, a orillas del Mar Rojo y al sur de la penísula del Sinaí, alberga corales y peces de una gran diversidad, haciendo de este lugar uno de los lugares predilectos para el buceo. El parque nacional Ras Mohammed, no muy lejos de Sharm, protege desde 1983 una superficie de 480 km cuadrados, tanto zona terrestre como acuática. RFI fue a conocer estos arrecifes, considerados los segundos más antiguos del planeta.   Por Ivonne SánchezLa ciudad egipcia de Sharm el Sheikh se encuentra en el extremo sur de la península del Sinaí, del lado asiático. Una curiosidad es que Egipto se encuentra en dos continentes, Africa y Asia, siendo el Golfo de Suez la barrera natural.Y es aquí donde un viejo pueblo pesquero se ha convertido en las últimas décadas en uno de los lugares más importantes para bucear. Sus altas y rojas montañas también son emblemáticas de esta región árida y albergan una fauna y flora específicas como los manglares y las acacias.El parque nacional Ras Mohammed, no muy lejos de Sharm el Sheik, protege una superficie de 480 km cuadrados, una cuarta parte concierne la zona terrestre y el resto la parte acuática.Con vistas al Mar Rojo y a la isla de Tirán, nos encontramos con Ahmed Mido, guía de esta región quien nos da la bienvenida, escuche aquí el reportaje en su versión completa:Agradecemos a Ahmed Mido por la entrevista en español y a Islam Nabil por su hospitalidad en Sharm El Sheikh durante la realización de este reportaje.

El mandatario estadounidense Donald Trump termina este jueves su gira oficial en el golfo Pérsico, en lo que representa un vuelco de la política estadounidense con los países del Medio Oriente, pues su viaje se ha centrado en los acuerdos comerciales, mas no en la diplomacia. Que un presidente estadounidense elija Oriente Medio como su primera gira oficial y no Canadá o México como suelen hacerlo, puede interpretarse como una señal de prioridades en su política exterior. Trump eligió una región con fondos de riqueza y potencial de inversión donde unos cuantos hombres ejercen autoridad absoluta.El mandatario rompe los esquemas y dice estar en contra de cualquier intervención estadounidense en la región, como Washington lo ha hecho con Afganistán, Irak, Libia o Siria; “siempre y cuando se lleven bien económicamente”, según el análisis de Joshua Landis, director del centro de Estudios de Medio Oriente en la Universidad de Oklahoma, EE.UU.Para Trump es una cuestión de economía“Como lo expresó el presidente Trump, se trata de la economía, él quiere acuerdos con Arabia Saudita y los países del Golfo, y desconocemos qué más le han prometido a cambio” señala Landis. Uno de los primeros ofrecimientos que se conocieron por parte de Catar fue un avión nuevo y el líder Sirio Ahmed al Sharaa también le ha propuesto a Trump que empresas estadounidenses puedan reconstruir la infraestructura petrolera en su país. “Recordemos que Siria es un productor de petróleo, pero su infraestructura está completamente destruida y necesita miles de millones de dólares de inversión”, indicó el analista, quien asegura que la oferta es una oportunidad para que las empresas estadounidenses regresen a esta parte de Oriente Medio.Durante la visita, los países del golfo Pérsico han recibido elogios de Donald Trump por sus camellos, sus edificaciones en mármol, entre otros. Los líderes árabes, por su parte, decían sentirse honrados con la visita del mandatario estadounidense.El Medio Oriente busca seguridad nacionalEl director del centro de Estudios de Medio Oriente en la Universidad de Oklahoma señala que países como Arabia Saudita, Catar y Emiratos Árabes Unidos dependen de Washington para su seguridad. “Estados Unidos les proporciona armas, y una de sus principales exigencias es el uso de aviones F-35. Quieren aviones de combate y tecnología estadounidenses de vanguardia”, indicó.Landis recuerda el tratado que Estados Unidos tiene con Israel de ventaja militar cualitativa (QEM, por sus siglas en inglés) en el que Washington garantiza a Israel una tecnología militar que supera “cualquier combinación de gobiernos árabes que pudieran oponerse”. En ese sentido, países como Arabia Saudita y los Emiratos Árabes Unidos buscarían, por medio de estos tratados, obtener esta tecnología militar estadounidense de vanguardia, indica el analista, agregando que “sería una gran decepción para Israel”.Los cortejos financieros no han parado, Arabia Saudita, por ejemplo, prometió a Trump inversiones por 600.000 millones de dólares en ámbitos como la defensa y la inteligencia artificial y Qatar Airways, compañía que pertenece a la monarquía Catarí, hizo un pedido "récord" de 160 aviones a la empresa estadounidense Boeing, por un valor de más de 200.000 millones de dólares.

El presidente Donald Trump realiza esta semana una gira por Arabia Saudita, Qatar y Emiratos Árabes Unidos. En medio de un contexto crítico en Medio Oriente, el magnate priorizó los acuerdos económicos sobre la diplomacia. Además, dio visos de un giro en la relación de EE. UU. con Siria. ¿Qué buscaba y qué logró Trump en el primer viaje al exterior de su segundo mandato? Acuerdos comerciales, inversiones para EE. UU. y de armas en los países del Golfo Pérsico. Esos son los puntos que han centrado la primera gran gira internacional del presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, en su segundo mandato.Durante sus paradas, Trump se centró en impulsar las inversiones de los estados del Golfo, justo semanas después de una visita de sus hijos Eric y Donald Jr. a la zona para promover proyectos inmobiliarios y de criptomonedas.El viaje, que comenzó en Arabia Saudita y siguió por Qatar y Emiratos Árabes Unidos, incluyó uno de los anuncios menos esperados: Trump decidió levantar las sanciones contra Siria y se reunió con el presidente de facto del país, Ahmed al-Sharaa.El propio mandatario sirio, que lideró el grupo HTS, considerado como terrorista por Estados Unidos y el Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU por sus vínculos con Al-Qaeda, calificó de "histórico" el encuentro y apuntó a que es el primer paso para la reconstrucción del país tras años de guerra.En tanto, en Riad, Trump y el príncipe heredero Mohammed bin Salman firmaron acuerdos que, según la Casa Blanca, superan los 600.000 millones de dólares. Uno de esos pactos es por 142.000 millones para que Estados Unidos dote a Arabia Saudita de tecnología militar.Leer tambiénDe visita a los países del Golfo, Trump prioriza los negocios sobre la diplomacia¿Qué busca Trump en Medio Oriente? ¿Habrá un giro en la política de Washington con Siria?

"China ha ganado la guerra comercial a EEUU. Trump solo ha tirado por la borda su arma arancelaria"En la reunión de Donald Trump en Arabia Saudí, el director ejecutivo de BlackRock, Larry Fink advirtió que el bono americano sigue cercano al 4,5% instando a la cautela con la deuda de EEUU. Alicia García Herrero, economista jefe para Asia Pacífico en Natixis, ha explicado que la guerra comercial no ha terminado, pero que los aranceles sí porque Donald Trump no puede utilizarlos. "Trump por fin ha entendido que la estrategia arancelaria no es la buena para contener a China", pero seguirá en su objetivo y su viaje al Golfo es parte del plan para que no dependa de la tecnología china. "La guerra comercial entre EEUU y China sigue, aunque no sea con aranceles". Para el bono americano el país más importante es Japón y parte de Europa, aunque sean entidades privadas y Taiwán también es muy importante, porque las aseguradores taiwanesas tienen gran parte del PIB. "China sola no puede acabar con el bono americano", pero la economía americana no puede operar contra la segunda economía del mundo, China. "Hasta ahora China ha ganado la guerra comercial, Trump ha liquidado su poder de aranceles" porque los ha usado mal. Justo lo que Trump advertía a los BRICS, que si desdolarizaban impondría aranceles, unos aranceles que ya ha eliminado, ha explicado Alicia García. "Trump ha tirado por la borda los aranceles, por ahora China ha ganado la guerra comercial". Alicia ha explicado que entiende la preocupación del presidente estadounidense por la dependencia estadounidense respecto a China. "Los mercados han llevado a Trump a reaccionar y recapacitar". #china #eeuu #guerracomercial #aranceles #xijinpnig #trump #useconomy #economiachina #exportaciones #comerciointernacional #casablanca #dolar #negociostv #viznerSi quieres entrar en la Academia de Negocios TV, este es el enlace:   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwd8Byi93KbnsYmCcKLExvQ/join Síguenos en directo ➡️ https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pSuscríbete a nuestro canal: https://bit.ly/3jsMzp2Suscríbete a nuestro segundo canal, másnegocios: https://n9.cl/4dca4Visita Negocios TV https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pMás vídeos de Negocios TV: https://youtube.com/@NegociosTVSíguenos en Telegram: https://t.me/negociostvSíguenos en Instagram: https://bit.ly/3oytWndTwitter: https://bit.ly/3jz6LptFacebook: https://bit.ly/3e3kIuy

O programa Autores e Livros Dose Extra desta semana traz uma entrevista com o jornalista e escritor Ernesto Rodrigues, autor do livro A Globo: Concorrência, segundo volume da trilogia que mergulha na trajetória da maior emissora de televisão do país. A obra oferece uma análise minuciosa e independente do papel da Rede Globo na cobertura de episódios marcantes da história recente do Brasil, como a doença e morte de Tancredo Neves, o governo Sarney e a eleição de Fernando Collor. O autor também se debruça sobre a atuação da emissora durante os anos de Fernando Henrique Cardoso, abordando críticas e polêmicas que marcaram esse período. No plano internacional, Rodrigues destaca a liderança da Globo na cobertura de eventos de grande repercussão, como a crise da aids, a queda do Muro de Berlim, o colapso da União Soviética, a Primeira Guerra do Golfo e a comoção global em torno da morte da princesa Diana. A evolução da teledramaturgia também ocupa espaço de destaque. Sucessos como Vale Tudo, Tieta e O Rei do Gado são analisados, assim como produções ousadas, como as minisséries Grande Sertão: Veredas e Anos Dourados. O livro ainda aborda a transformação da programação infantil com os fenômenos Xuxa e Angélica, o humor irreverente de Casseta & Planeta e Sai de Baixo, o tetra conquistado pela Seleção Brasileira em 1994 e a trajetória vitoriosa e trágica de Ayrton Senna. Ernesto Rodrigues dedica parte do livro ao crescimento comercial da emissora, suas tentativas de expansão internacional — incluindo o fracasso na Itália com a Telemontecarlo —, e a intensa disputa pela audiência frente ao avanço de concorrentes como Silvio Santos e a Rede Record, que levaram a Globo a reformular sua programação para manter a liderança no mercado. “A Globo: Concorrência” dá continuidade ao trabalho de investigação jornalística iniciado no primeiro volume da trilogia, aprofundando os bastidores de uma emissora que moldou e foi moldada pela história do Brasil contemporâneo. __________________________________ A trilogia: | A obra divide a história da Globo em três períodos e volumes: Hegemonia, o primeiro, cobre os acontecimentos ocorridos entre 1965 e 1984 e reconstitui as origens, o crescimento e a consolidação da liderança; Concorrência, o segundo, resgata os altos e baixos da Globo na travessia de 1985 a 1998, período histórico em que o Brasil passou por grandes transformações; e Metamorfose, o terceiro volume, contempla o período entre a virada do século e o início da década de 2020, época em que a Globo se viu obrigada a promover mudanças profundas em todas as suas áreas.

Un cambiamento strategico da parte dell'Arabia Saudita, che punta a diventare — insieme a Israele — uno degli alleati fondamentali degli Stati Uniti nella regione.

Felipe Harman, director de la Agencia Nacional de Tierras (ANT) habló en 6AM sobre los municipios con riesgos de que el Clan del Golfo invada predios y se apodere de las fincas.

El Gobierno colombiano anunció este martes la captura de más de dos centenares de miembros del Clan del Golfo desde mediados de abril, en respuesta a la ofensiva violenta de esa banda narcotraficante conocida como “plan pistola”.  Para algunos analistas, este es un reflejo de la crisis de seguridad que atraviesa el país suramericano por, entre otras cosas, las fallas de los diálogos de paz. Desde el 15 de abril los ataques de los grupos ilegales y rebeldes se han cobrado la vida de al menos 18 policías y 17 militares, según el Gobierno. Esto es casi un asesinato de un miembro de la fuerza pública por día. Los crímenes son atribuidos principalmente al Clan del Golfo en el marco del denominado “plan pistola”. En respuesta a esta ofensiva, las autoridades han capturado a 217 miembros de ese grupo armado en las últimas tres semanas. Oscar Palma, especialista en seguridad y defensa y profesor en la Universidad del Rosario explica que “el clan del Golfo es una organización de sombrilla, como una especie de federación que incluye alianzas con organizaciones menores, con otra serie de grupos asociados a la estructura como tal y el plan pistola que el clan del Golfo está realizando actualmente se da justamente por la captura de uno de los miembros de su Estado Mayor, por así decirlo”.El Plan Pistola recuerda una célebre táctica que ya había utilizado el mismo Clan del Golfo en 2022, pero también, en los años 90, el narcotraficante Pablo Escobar.“Muchas veces, incluso estos asesinatos suceden cuando los miembros de las instituciones están por fuera de su actividad, es decir, no están en una operación específica de combate, pueden incluso estar de civil y sin embargo, son víctimas de este tipo de asesinatos. Es exactamente lo que estamos viendo hoy, particularmente en cabeza del clan del Golfo”, señala Palma.Para este especialista en seguridad y defensa en Bogotá, “el plan pistola” es una ilustración más de la degradación de la situación de orden público en Colombia. “Estamos viendo dinámicas que no veíamos desde hace muchos años, antes incluso del proceso de paz”.Para él, la crisis es consecuencia de procesos de paz que han fracasado, pero también de “unas fuerzas militares que han recibido la orden de no operar en contra de algunos grupos con los cuales supuestamente se tienen unas conversaciones de paz, pero que no han rendido frutos”. A esto, se le suma, según Palma, el aumento de la producción de cocaína en el País. “Es un momento muy gris en términos de seguridad, en términos de paz, en muchos de los territorios más remotos de Colombia. Y esta idea del plan pistola no es más, sino otro de los síntomas”, concluyó.

A esta hora estamos frente a la expectativa frente a las versiones que circulan en las que se señala que el Clan del Golfo, de poner fin al denominado ‘plan pistola’ contra la fuerza pública que ya cobra la vida de más de 20 uniformados en el país.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.

La madrugada del 13 de mayo de 2012, México se estremeció con el hallazgo de 49 cuerp*s al costado de la carretera en Cadereyta Jiménez, Nuevo León.

The island is home to features like the Apennine Coast, the Adriatic Coast, and the Apennine Mountains. Most of Sardinia's population lives in the capital region of Cagliari, but much of the island remains untouched, offering visitors a glimpse into authentic Italian island life.One of Sardinia's most fascinating distinctions is that the Barbagia region is recognized as a Blue Zone—an area with an unusually high number of centenarians. This longevity is attributed to the region's healthy diet, active lifestyle, and strong sense of community. For outdoor enthusiasts, inland Sardinia offers some of the best biking and hiking experiences in all of Italy.Tourissimo Tip–What is a Blue Zone? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/blue-zoneThe island's coastlines are just as enticing. Costa Smeralda is often described as paradise on earth, with stunning beaches like Spiaggia di Tuerredda, Cala Goloritzé, and Spiaggia di Porto Giunco perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Don't miss the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park (Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena), a protected area with crystal-clear waters and pristine landscapes.Charming towns such as Alghero, Bosa, and Cagliari add to the island's appeal. Many of Sardinia's towns are nestled in the mountains located in the island's center, offering a peaceful and scenic escape.Cultural and historical attractions abound. Must-see sites include the Nora Archaeological Park, Bastione di Saint Remy, Parco Archeologico Naturalistico di Santa Cristina, and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari. For an unforgettable natural wonder, venture into the Frecce delle grotte srl and Neptune's Grotto, stunning sea caves accessible by boat or stairs carved into cliffs.Sardinia is also home to a unique ancient civilization. Scattered across the island are over 7,000 nuraghe—megalithic stone structures built during the Nuragic Age (c. 1900–730 BC). These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.

O Google Maps passará em território americano a chamar o Golfo do México de Golfo da América para atender a uma ordem executiva do presidente Donald Trump. Não adianta meio mundo achar a troca uma brincadeira e a presidente mexicana, Claudia Sheinbaum, ter rebatido que os Estados Unidos deveriam então se chamar América Mexicana para seguir um mapa-múndi de 1607. O mesmo mapa também já falava em Golfo do México 169 anos antes da fundação dos Estados Unidos. Mas, como o México não tem Google nem outra plataforma com mais de um bilhão de usuários, para boa parte das pessoas logo logo será mesmo Golfo da América. Pesquisas mostram que ChatGPT, DeepSeek e similares não são transparentes sobre informações básicas, como onde fica sua sede, quem são seus responsáveis e investidores, quanto receberam de financiamento. Nesse cenário, como ficam países que não têm plataformas nacionais de alcance global, como é o caso do Brasil? E mais: o que acontecerá com a História e a memória desses países diante de uma população cada vez mais conectada a LLMs estrangeiras globais que acredita mais no que encontra nos apps e sites de busca do que nos livros de História? As apresentadoras Luciana Garbin e Carolina Ercolin falam do tema nesta edição. O Mulheres Reais vai ao ar às segundas-feiras, a partir das 8h, no Jornal Eldorado. O podcast é apresentado por Carolina Ercolin e Luciana Garbin e está disponível em todas as plataformas de áudio.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
