La historia de Pepe Méndez es la de una vida de superación constante. Este expolicía, rescatador de montaña en el GREIM y empresario compartió su testimonio en el programa 'Herrera en COPE', donde relató cómo es vivir con el síndrome de Tourette, una condición que no le fue diagnosticada hasta pasados los 40 años. Ahora, se prepara para su próximo gran reto: cruzar a nado los 31 kilómetros del río Ebro el próximo 4 de julio.El diagnóstico del síndrome de Tourette suele aparecer en la infancia, pero en el caso de Méndez, sus tics se consideraban “manías” de niño. Según explica, el concepto de Tourette es “relativamente nuevo”, de menos de 20 años. “En mi época de adolescente, infantil, en primaria, en secundaria, pues no existía esa mentalidad, esos conocimientos, y la única forma de definirnos era que teníamos manías”, ha contado.Fue en el paso de primaria a secundaria cuando los tics se exteriorizaron de forma más evidente. Al mudarse de su pueblo, Coín (Málaga), a ...

En el '24 Horas' nos interesamos por los aludes en la montaña y como hacer actividades en la nieve de forma segura. Hablamos con Arán, un alpinista que trabaja en un refugio del Pirineo aragonés. Él mismo se encontró ante una avalancha de grandes dimensiones: "Te quedas a merced de lo que pueda pasar allí". También hemos hablado con Baín Gutiérrez, Teniente Jefe de la Guardia Civil en Huesca. Gutiérrez explica que en la montaña "el riesgo 0 no existe" y explica que sí que hay algunos indicios sobre el inicio de una avalancha como "crujidos" o "pequeñas grietas" aunque reconoce que pese haber realizado todo correctamente te puede sorprender un alud.Ambos aconsejan que ante los indicios dar la vuelta: "Que no te pueda el ansía, hay que saber dar marcha atrás" dice Arán. Gutiérrez alerta de la "falsa seguridad en la montaña": "Puedes pasar 300 veces por un sitio y nunca te pasa nada, siempre hay que estar con los 5 sentidos". Su recomendación es también dar la vuelta o cambiar la ruta si se ven indicios en la nieve. Gutiérrez forma parte del GREIM, (Grupos de Rescate e Intervención en Montaña) y su función es, aparte de los rescates, investigar que ha pasado. Apunta que la nieve puede "cambiar en función de minutos" por el efecto del sol o del viento. Aran, pese haber sufrido una avalancha, dice que "no le tiene miedo a la nieve" pero sí que le ha servido para informarse y aprender sobre la montaña y la nieve.Escuchar audio
AAD PARTE 1: Desde el senderista excursionista sin mayores pretensiones deportivas, hasta el escalador profesional, pasando por la bici, las carreras de montaña o por el esquí de travesía, hay un número creciente de personas que practican disciplinas relacionadas con el monte.

Am 8./9. Mai endete mit der bedingungslosen Kapitulation der Wehrmacht der Zweite Weltkrieg in Europa. Anlässlich des 80. Jahrestages sprechen Dr. Peter Lieb und Major der Reserve Timon Radicke in der aktuellen Folge von „Zugehört“ über das Kriegsende. Dabei nehmen sie vier Ereignisse in den Blick, die die letzten Kriegswochen unterschiedlich prägten. DIE BRÜCKE VON REMAGEN Die Einnahme der Ludendorff-Brücke bei Remagen am 7. März 1945 durch die Amerikaner markiert einen wichtigen strategischen Punkt beim Einmarsch der Westalliierten ins Reichsgebiet. Dr. Lieb und Major Radicke thematisieren dabei vor allem die zeitlichen Faktoren und welche Auswirkungen Remagen für die auf dem Rückzug befindliche Wehrmacht hatte. DIE BEFREIUNG DES KONZENTRATIONSLAGERS DACHAUWenige Wochen später befreit im Süden Deutschlands die 7. Armee der US-Streitkräfte das Konzentrationslager Dachau. Schon Tage zuvor wurden die ersten Außenlager durch die Alliierten befreit. In Dachau selbst werden die US-Soldaten mit den grauenvollen Bildern des Holocausts konfrontiert. Dr. Lieb erklärt, warum die Befreiung von Dachau zu einem Paradigmenwechsel geführt hat, wie die Alliierten auf den Kriegsgegner Deutschland und die Wehrmacht blickten und welche Auswirkungen das auch auf die Nachkriegszeit hatte. Zwar hat die Rote Armee bereits Auschwitz befreit, die Briten Bergen-Belsen, aber die Befreiung von Dachau kann durchaus als moralischer Wendepunkt betrachtet werden, an dem die Welt erstmals das ganze Ausmaß der Nazi-Verbrechen sah. DIE KAPITULATION DER WEHRMACHT IN ITALIENWährend die US-Streitkräfte Dachau befreien, unterzeichnet die Wehrmacht in Italien die Kapitulation der verbliebenen Truppenteile. Ab 1943 kämpfen deutsche Truppen in Italien gegen die Alliierten. Ab Februar 1945 führt SS-Obergruppenführer Karl Wolff mit dem Direktor des Auslandsgeheimdienstes OSS, Allen Dulles, geheime Gespräche, um einen Separatfrieden auszuhandeln. Unter dem Titel „Operation Sunrise“ kommt die Teilkapitulation einige Tage vor dem allgemeinen Ende des Krieges zustande. Doch die Entscheidungen bleiben nicht ohne Folgen – und sie haben sogar später Auswirkungen auf die junge Bundeswehr der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. EINE BEFÖRDERUNG – WÄHREND DER SCHLACHT UM BERLINIn diesen Tagen landet General Ritter von Greim im inzwischen eingekesselten Berlin, um von Adolf Hitler zum Oberbefehlshaber einer Luftwaffe befördert zu werden, die de facto nicht mehr existiert. Es sind diese Geschichten, die die Absurdität der letzten Kriegstage veranschaulichen. Dr. Lieb und Major Radicke sprechen über die Schlacht um Berlin, die militärischen Entscheidungen der Roten Armee und die letzte deutsche Abwehrschlacht um die Seelower Höhen. Dabei geht es auch um die Bedeutung gestellter Bilder im Krieg – wie das Hissen der roten Fahne auf dem Reichstagsgebäude – dem zumindest symbolischen Schlusspunkt des Zweiten Weltkrieges.

¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2024! Volvemos después de dos semanas fuera y lo hacemos con la mirada puesta en las grandes montañas. Abrimos el podcast con Bail Gutiérrez, teniete jefe de los Greim en Jaca que el pasado verano estuvó en la aldea de Hushé en Pakistán, con la Fundación Sarabastall echando una mano. A lo largo de la charla nos acerca el trabajo que allí se hace, al abrigo de algunos de los 'ochomiles' más impresionantes del Karakorum. Y luego se viene a charlar el navarro Mikel Zabalza que, trece años después, deja de pilotar el equipo de alpinismo de la FEDME. Recogió el t4estigo de Simón Elías y lo deja en el también navarro Iker Madoz. Ha sido más de una década intensa y nos acerca su próximo objetivo. Porque Mikel deja de estar al frente del equipo, pero las grandes paredes, la montaña de aventura la sigue manteniendo intacta.

Chip Roy (R-Texas) has been flirting with the idea of trying to remove Johnson, saying in a radio interview on Tuesday: "If they totally botch [the appropriations bills] ...

Gov. Mike Kehoe and Sen. Bill Eigel in the August 2024 GOP primary, has used the lawsuit to raise money for his gubernatorial campaign, where culture war issues have played a prominent role.And, he is using taxpayer funds to pay a campaign donor to represent his office in the lawsuit.Instead of using the Missouri attorney general's office to fight the challenge to the rules, Ashcroft hired the politically connected Kansas City law firm of Graves Garrett to represent his office.Law firm partner Todd Graves, a former head of the Missouri Republican Party, was named to the University of Missouri board of trustees in 2021 and Greim was mentioned as a possible pick for attorney general when Eric Schmitt vacated the post to become U.S. senator in 2021.Greim also represented the Office of the Governor in 2018 when former Gov. Eric Greitens was under investigation for possible impeachment.Tennessee Dems Pushing Back on Abortion Bans With New Reproductive Rights BillsThe bill is sponsored by new Tenn. Dem.

It adds a pregnant person has a right to continue a pregnancy or to terminate it. Michigan GOP Collapsing? https://theheartlandcollective.com/2024/01/09/michigan-gop-is-collapsing-in-on-itself/From article:Jason Roe, a former executive director of the Michigan Republican party, said an effective new leader could help the party “right the ship” before the November 2024 elections, but that a drawn-out fight in court could hinder that progress.To date, the chaos engulfing the party has prevented it from fulfilling its traditional role of organizing and fundraising for Republican candidates, former party officials have said.“I think the chaos is far from over,” Roe said. “If this turns out to be a binding vote, I don't think she [Karamo] or her supporters will go quietly and there will probably continue to be skirmishes throughout the election cycle.” Boebert Says Bye Bye - Tucks Tail And Seeks Easier Path Back To DCIn a move stunning no one, CO GOP Rep.

Missouri water way gets needed recognition, but for horrible reasonshttps://missouriindependent.com/2024/01/08/coldwater-creek-to-finally-have-warning-signs-after-decades-of-nuclear-contamination/Nuclear waste stored outside St. Louis was found to pose a risk to nearby Coldwater Creek as early as 1949. The contaminated creek will finally have warning signs almost 75 years later.From articleThe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said in a statement Monday that it was working with the Environmental Protection Agency to add signs along the creek to help it monitor areas “that may pose a risk if disturbed.”Coldwater Creek has been contaminated for decades with radioactive waste left over from the World War II-era effort to build an atomic bomb. But though the creek winds through some of St. Louis' busiest suburbs and past public parks and schools, the federal government had resisted calls to post signs warning visitors of the contamination.“This is decades of potential exposure that could have been prevented that they drug their feet on,” said Dawn Chapman, co-founder of Just Moms STL, an organization formed to advocate for communities affected by St. Louis-area radioactive waste.Despite the delays, Chapman said she's thankful that the signs are finally going to be installed. The St. Louis area has long struggled with a radioactive waste problem. Uranium for the Manhattan Project, the name given to the effort to develop the first atomic bomb, was refined in downtown St. Louis.After World War II, radioactive waste left over from those efforts was trucked to the St. Louis airport and dumped — some on the open ground and some in barrels — next to Coldwater Creek. As early as 1949, Mallinckrodt Chemical Works, the company that refined uranium for the federal government, was aware the waste could escape the barrels it was stored in and contaminate the nearby creekThe Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry concluded in 2019 that children and adults who played in or near Coldwater Creek or lived in its floodplain between the 1960s and 1990s may have been exposed to radioactive materials that raise the risk of certain cancers. The agency — part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — recommended signs be placed along the creek to warn residents of the potential exposure risk.The Army Corps said there was nothing specific that caused the agency to change its mind on installing the signs. The decision was “driven by our commitment to continuous improvement,” George Stringham, a spokesman for the Army Corps, said in an email. Stringham said the Army Corps would “continue to prioritize the health and safety of the community.”Iowa - Gov. proposed budget is a major cut for higher edhttps://iowacapitaldispatch.com/2024/01/10/gov-kim-reynolds-budget-for-state-universities-falls-30m-short-of-regents-request/From article: Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds has proposed allocating about $30 million less than what the Iowa Board of Regents requested for itself and the universities next year, though each of the universities would receive some increase in state funding.Reynolds' budget proposal, released Monday, included recommendations for administering money from the state's general fund and other sources to the regents, the University of Iowa, University of Northern Iowa and Iowa State University. The regents requested just over $609 million from the state's general fund and about $40 million from other state sources. Reynolds recommended allocating almost $619 million.Colorado - Congresswoman Diana DeGette introduces discharge petition to ban high-capacity magazines:https://coloradonewsline.com/briefs/degette-house-vote-high-capacity-magazine-ban/From article:U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette used a mechanism in the House of Representatives that would force a vote on a bill without leadership's approval to bring forward a vote on a gun safety bill. DeGette, who represents Denver in Congress, alongside House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force Chair Mike Thompson, a California Democrat, filed a discharge petition to force a vote on the Keep Americans Safe Act. The bill would ban large capacity magazines - those that can hold 30-100 rounds - with a few exceptions and will likely struggle to get through the Republican-controlled House.DeGette said high-capacity magazines were used in all of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in the country. She said the only purpose of these magazines is to kill a lot of people in a short amount of time. “These events continue to re-traumatize our community and our nation, because no community has been untouched by this deadly epidemic,” DeGette said. “In mass shootings with four or more people killed between 2015 and 2022, high-capacity magazines led to more than twice as many people being killed and nearly 10 times as many people being wounded per incident on average.”The petition requires 218 signatures to force a vote on the floor, and with 213 Democrats in the House, at least five Republicans would need to sign. DeGette said she thinks some Republicans in the House represent districts impacted by mass shootings and may be under pressure from their constituents to ban high-capacity magazines. U.S. Rep. Jason Crow, a Centennial Democrat, joined DeGette and members of the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force at a press conference outside the U.S. Capitol after DeGette filed the petition and applauded Colorado leadership for its gun safety measures, particularly banning high-capacity magazines. “In Colorado, we are fortunate to have a state legislature focused on gun reform when Congress fails to make significant change due to Republican stonewalling over and over again,” Crow said. Crow highlighted several high-profile mass shootings in Colorado where the perpetrator used high capacity magazines: the 1999 Columbine High School shooting in Littleton, the 2012 Aurora movie theater shooting, the 2021 Boulder King Soopers shooting, and the 2022 Club Q shooting in Colorado Springs.

The contaminated creek will finally have warning signs almost 75 years later.From articleThe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said in a statement Monday that it was working with the Environmental Protection Agency to add signs along the creek to help it monitor areas “that may pose a risk if disturbed.”Coldwater Creek has been contaminated for decades with radioactive waste left over from the World War II-era effort to build an atomic bomb. But though the creek winds through some of St. Louis' busiest suburbs and past public parks and schools, the federal government had resisted calls to post signs warning visitors of the contamination.“This is decades of potential exposure that could have been prevented that they drug their feet on,” said Dawn Chapman, co-founder of Just Moms STL, an organization formed to advocate for communities affected by St. Louis-area radioactive waste.Despite the delays, Chapman said she's thankful that the signs are finally going to be installed. The St. Louis area has long struggled with a radioactive waste problem. Uranium for the Manhattan Project, the name given to the effort to develop the first atomic bomb, was refined in downtown St. Louis.After World War II, radioactive waste left over from those efforts was trucked to the St. Louis airport and dumped — some on the open ground and some in barrels — next to Coldwater Creek. As early as 1949, Mallinckrodt Chemical Works, the company that refined uranium for the federal government, was aware the waste could escape the barrels it was stored in and contaminate the nearby creekThe Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry concluded in 2019 that children and adults who played in or near Coldwater Creek or lived in its floodplain between the 1960s and 1990s may have been exposed to radioactive materials that raise the risk of certain cancers. The agency — part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — recommended signs be placed along the creek to warn residents of the potential exposure risk.The Army Corps said there was nothing specific that caused the agency to change its mind on installing the signs. The decision was “driven by our commitment to continuous improvement,” George Stringham, a spokesman for the Army Corps, said in an email. Stringham said the Army Corps would “continue to prioritize the health and safety of the community.”Iowa - Gov. proposed budget is a major cut for higher edhttps://iowacapitaldispatch.com/2024/01/10/gov-kim-reynolds-budget-for-state-universities-falls-30m-short-of-regents-request/From article: Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds has proposed allocating about $30 million less than what the Iowa Board of Regents requested for itself and the universities next year, though each of the universities would receive some increase in state funding.Reynolds' budget proposal, released Monday, included recommendations for administering money from the state's general fund and other sources to the regents, the University of Iowa, University of Northern Iowa and Iowa State University. The regents requested just over $609 million from the state's general fund and about $40 million from other state sources. Reynolds recommended allocating almost $619 million.Colorado - Congresswoman Diana DeGette introduces discharge petition to ban high-capacity magazines:https://coloradonewsline.com/briefs/degette-house-vote-high-capacity-magazine-ban/From article:U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette used a mechanism in the House of Representatives that would force a vote on a bill without leadership's approval to bring forward a vote on a gun safety bill. DeGette, who represents Denver in Congress, alongside House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force Chair Mike Thompson, a California Democrat, filed a discharge petition to force a vote on the Keep Americans Safe Act. The bill would ban large capacity magazines - those that can hold 30-100 rounds - with a few exceptions and will likely struggle to get through the Republican-controlled House.DeGette said high-capacity magazines were used in all of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in the country. She said the only purpose of these magazines is to kill a lot of people in a short amount of time. “These events continue to re-traumatize our community and our nation, because no community has been untouched by this deadly epidemic,” DeGette said. “In mass shootings with four or more people killed between 2015 and 2022, high-capacity magazines led to more than twice as many people being killed and nearly 10 times as many people being wounded per incident on average.”The petition requires 218 signatures to force a vote on the floor, and with 213 Democrats in the House, at least five Republicans would need to sign. DeGette said she thinks some Republicans in the House represent districts impacted by mass shootings and may be under pressure from their constituents to ban high-capacity magazines. U.S. Rep. Jason Crow, a Centennial Democrat, joined DeGette and members of the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force at a press conference outside the U.S. Capitol after DeGette filed the petition and applauded Colorado leadership for its gun safety measures, particularly banning high-capacity magazines. “In Colorado, we are fortunate to have a state legislature focused on gun reform when Congress fails to make significant change due to Republican stonewalling over and over again,” Crow said. Crow highlighted several high-profile mass shootings in Colorado where the perpetrator used high capacity magazines: the 1999 Columbine High School shooting in Littleton, the 2012 Aurora movie theater shooting, the 2021 Boulder King Soopers shooting, and the 2022 Club Q shooting in Colorado Springs.

Cinco años son los que lleva rota la emblemática Cruz del Aneto. Apenas se mantiene en pie gracias a unos tensores, con el peligro que eso conlleva para los montañeros que suben a visitarla. El ayuntamiento de Benasque ha tomado la decisión de repararla. Con ayuda del GREIM, el Grupo de Rescate e Intervención de Montaña, un grupo de guías ha ascendido hasta el Aneto para solventar la situación. Hoy, en DETRÁS DE LA NOTICIA, la historia de esta reparación.
