Récords Guinness: Don Francisco es reconocido por tener la carrera más larga como presentador de televisión

La entidad destacó a Mario Kreutzberger por su “imparable labor” en televisión por más de 60 años, con los títulos “el presentador de programas de televisión de variedades de más edad” y “la carrera profesional más larga como presentador de programas de televisión de variedades”. Además, del reconocimiento a “Sábado Gigante”.

Este jueves, Récords Guinness destacó a Mario Kreutzberger, comúnmente conocido como Don Francisco, por tener la carrera más larga como presentador de televisión.

De acuerdo con la entidad, el chileno fue poseedor de dos títulos por su “imparable labor” en televisión por más de 60 años:

  • El presentador de programas de televisión (de variedades) de más edad (82 años 85 días).
  • La carrera profesional más larga como presentador de programas de televisión (de variedades) (60 años 277 días).

La organización también consignó a Sábado Gigante como el programa de televisión (de variedades) de mayor duración presentado por el mismo animador (53 años y 42 días), el cual fue transmitido por primera vez el 8 de agosto de 1962 en Chile (Canal 13) y finalizó el 19 de septiembre de 2015 en Estados Unidos (Univisión).

“Kreutzberger, cultivó una audiencia fiel a través de su naturalidad, humanidad y cercanía con el público. Durante décadas les entregó a los hogares de América Latina y el mundo un espacio de entretenimiento lleno de alegría, esperanza y diversión”, agregó.

La entidad también destacó que “la vida de Don Francisco está llena de innumerables e inolvidables momentos que han marcado grandes hitos en la historia. Este soñador e imparable trabajador, se estableció en Estados Unidos en 1986. Allí consolidó su carrera como presentador y se convirtió en uno de los latinos más influyentes de los últimos años”.

Durante su carrera, Kreutzberger ha recibido importantes premios y homenajes, entre ellos, la Estrella en el Paseo de la Fama en Hollywood (2001), la Medalla Papal Benemerenti otorgada por el Papa Juan Pablo II (2002), el Premio Emmy (2005), y su nombre está inscrito en el Salón de la Fama de la Academia de Artes y Ciencias de la Televisión en Estados Unidos (2012)”, añadió.

“En el 2021 se incorporó a la cadena CNN en Español presentando el programa Reflexiones con Don Francisco al momento ha reunido a más de 160 invitados entre artistas, personalidades destacadas, científicos, y personas que han vivido experiencias únicas”, continuó.

También mencionan la condecoración de Don Francisco como embajador de Unicef, Muscular Dystrophy Association y presentador de Teletón Chile.

De este modo, Mario Kreutzberger recibió sus certificaciones por parte de la Adjudicadora Oficial de Guinness World Records, Sarah Casson.

Su legado también ha quedado plasmado en las páginas de la nueva edición del libro de Guinness World Records 2024 que lanza en octubre en América Latina.

Reacción de Don Francisco

En la instancia, el chileno manifestó sentirse “muy honrado de tener tres títulos de Guinness World Records. Este es el resultado de muchos años de trabajo, dedicación y perseverancia”.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” recauda US$ 120 millones en su impresionante fin de semana de estreno

0

“Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” tejió una impresionante telaraña en taquilla durante el fin de semana de estreno de la secuela de “Into the Spider-Verse”.

Estrenada el 2 de junio, “Across the Spider-Verse” recaudó US$ 120,5 millones en su estreno de tres días, lo que la convierte en la segunda mayor apertura del año, por detrás de los US$ 146 millones de “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” en su debut en abril.

Con una duración de dos horas y veinte minutos, el fin de semana de estreno de “Across the Spider-Verse” superó las expectativas al triplicar con creces los US$ 35 millones que recaudó “Into the Spider-Verse” durante su estreno en 2018.

“Into the Spider-Verse” fue aclamada por la crítica y ganó un Oscar a la mejor película de animación en los Premios de la Academia 2019.

Las cifras en taquilla de la secuela también suponen el mejor estreno para una superproducción veraniega, superando los US$ 118 millones recaudados por “Guardianes de la Galaxia Vol. 3” de Marvel en mayo, y es el tercer mejor fin de semana de estreno para una película de “Spider-Man”, según Sony.

La película sigue a Miles Morales, que es “catapultado a través del Multiverso, donde se encuentra con la Sociedad Araña, un equipo de Spider-Personas encargadas de proteger la existencia misma del Multiverso”, según la sinopsis.

Cuando Morales se encuentra “enfrentado a los demás Spiders” en medio de un conflicto sobre cómo manejar una nueva amenaza, se pone en marcha “por su cuenta para salvar a los que más quiere”.

“Across the Spider-Verse” está protagonizada por Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Velez, Jake Johnson, Jason Schwartzman, Issa Rae, Karan Soni, Daniel Kaluuya y Oscar Isaac.

City of Houston and Bezos Academy Open Three Free Preschools

Following the announcement of a 10-year lease agreement between the City of Houston and Bezos Academy last year, three preschools are now open in Houston and currently accepting applications for the 2023-2024 school year. The partnership is championed by the Mayor’s Office of Education and Youth Engagement which worked to place the preschools in Houston’s most historically under resourced communities, ensuring every child will have equitable opportunities for education that propels them to a meaningful and successful future.

Bezos Academy Houston locations include the Denver Harbor Multi-Service Center, in Magnolia Park at the Community Family Center Building, and in North Shore at the San Jacinto College North Campus.

Image
These preschools were also supported by the Mayor’s Office of Complete Communities, the Houston Health Department, Community Family Centers, and San Jacinto College. All three sites will offer year-round programming, five days a week, for children ages 3-5 years old. Students will also be provided with everything needed during the day, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. To learn more about eligibility, visit the Bezos Academy website.

“We are happy to continue to work with Bezos Academy to fight for the future of all children, especially those within our Complete Communities,” said Mayor Sylvester Turner. “When we invest in our children, we are investing in a brighter and more equitable future for our city,”

Studies show that children who have access to high-quality early childhood programs complete high school with lower rates of suspension, arrests, and substance abuse issues, and have higher rates of employment as adults. In Harris County, there are approximately 360,000 children between the ages of 0 and 4, however, childcare capacity in Houston can only meet the needs of about 185,000 children. The opening of these three schools will help to close this gap and give those in our historically most under resourced communities access to education that nurtures the potential in every child.

“Having spent my career teaching and leading in Texas, I know from experience the tremendous leg-up that preschool provides our students,” said Dr. A. Tracie Brown, Bezos Academy Superintendent of Schools. “Mayor Turner’s vision to expand that access for kids who wouldn’t otherwise have it made Houston an obvious place for us to open schools. Now that our first three schools are up and running, that vision has become a reality for the children who show up at a Bezos Academy preschool each day, and we can’t wait to welcome more.”

All three locations are still accepting applications through 11:59 p.m. PST, Monday, June 5th.

About the Mayor’s Office of Education and Youth Engagement
Public education is a human right, the great social equalizer, and a key to a prosperous community. Mayor Sylvester Turner believes that each generation of children should be assured a better life and education. Through collaboration, communication, and coordination, the Mayor’s Office of Education strives to ensure this goal for all families in Houston by promoting access to equitable education and opportunities.

About Bezos Academy
Bezos Academy is a non-profit organization that is building a network of tuition-free preschools. Our preschools offer year-round, full-day programming, five days a week, for children ages 3-5 years old from low-income families. Bezos Academy also provides students with all necessary educational supplies and services to set each student up for success, including Montessori materials, books, arts and crafts, field trips, and meals.

US Navy shows Chinese warship’s ‘unsafe interaction’ near Taiwan

The U.S. Navy has released a video of what it called an “unsafe interaction” in the Taiwan Strait, in which a Chinese warship crossed in front of a U.S. destroyer in the sensitive waterway, a risky incident amid deteriorating Sino-U.S. ties.

The encounter comes as both countries trade blame for not holding military talks – with disagreements between the two over everything from trade and Taiwan to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – and raises the spectre of future face-offs that could spiral out of control.

The U.S. military said the USS Chung-Hoon, a destroyer, and Canada’s HSMC Montreal, a frigate, were conducting a “routine” transit of the strait on Saturday when the Chinese ship cut in front of the U.S. vessel, coming within 150 yards (137 metres).

In the video, released by the U.S. Navy late on Sunday, a Chinese warship can clearly be seen sailing across the path of the Chung-Hoon in calm waters. The Chung-Hoon does not change course.

A voice can be heard in English, apparently sending a radio message to the Chinese ship, warning against “attempts to limit freedom of navigation”, though the exact wording is unclear because of wind noise.

‘TROUBLE AND PROVOCATION’

“The measures taken by the Chinese military are completely reasonable, legitimate, and professional and safe,” said Wang Wenbin, a spokesperson at the Chinese foreign ministry.

“The U.S. had caused trouble and provocation first, while China dealt with it in accordance with the law and regulations afterwards,” Wang told a regular press conference on Monday when asked about the video released by the U.S. Navy.

The Chinese defence ministry did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on Monday.

On Saturday night, China’s military rebuked the United States and Canada for “deliberately provoking risk” with the rare joint sailing.

Chinese military commentator Song Zhongping told Reuters that this “point blank interception” was a demonstration of both the capabilities and “courage” of China’s navy.

“The more intensified the provocation from the United States, the stronger the countermeasures from China,” Song said.

It was the second such encounter in recent days.

On May 26, a Chinese fighter jet carried out an “unnecessarily aggressive” manoeuvre near a U.S. military plane over the South China Sea in international airspace, according to the United States.

“It seems to me that Beijing has instructed its forces to respond more assertively against what it believes are encroaching U.S. and allied forces,” said Derek Grossman, senior defence analyst at the RAND Corporation, a U.S. think tank.

“By doing so, China is only increasing the chances for miscalculation – namely ships or aircraft accidentally colliding – that could then spiral into armed conflict,” he added.

In 2001, a U.S. spy plane made an emergency landing on China’s Hainan island after a collision with a Chinese fighter jet, whose pilot died.

Taiwan’s defence ministry on Sunday called China’s actions with the U.S. and Canadian ships “provocation” and said it was the common responsibility of free and democratic countries to maintain peace and stability in the strait.

“Any actions to increase tension and danger will not contribute to regional security,” it said in a statement.

The ministry called on China to respect the right to freedom of navigation.

China views Taiwan as its own territory, a claim the government in Taipei strongly rejects.

Beijing has been stepping up military and political pressure to try to force Taiwan to accept its sovereignty, including staging regular manoeuvres near the island.

Asiana Airlines: Passenger arrested for opening plane door during South Korea flight

A man has been arrested for opening the emergency door of an Asiana Airlines flight as it was landing in South Korea.

All 194 passengers survived the flight, which landed safely but with its door still open at Daegu International Airport on Friday.

Some passengers fainted while others had breathing problems and were taken to hospital, local media reported.

The man, in his 30s, was arrested upon landing, said Yonhap news agency.

Flight OZ8124, an Airbus A321-200 jet, had taken off from Jeju Island on Friday about 11:45 local time (03:45 GMT).

As it was landing about an hour later, a male passenger opened the emergency door while the plane was still 250m from ground.

A passenger’s video shared on social media shows the gap in the left hand side of the plane and winds buffeting rows of seated passengers.

Flight attendants had not been able to stop him because the plane was about to land, witnesses recounted to local media.

They said the man had also tried to jump out of the plane after opening the door.

Passengers have described the panic on board.

“It was chaos with people close to the door appearing to faint one by one and flight attendants calling out for doctors on board through broadcasting,” one 44-year-old passenger told Yonhap.

“I thought the plane was blowing up. I thought I was going to die like this,” he added.

The Asiana Airlines plane landed safely in South Korea after a passenger forced open an emergency door.

Several school age children had also been on board, on their way to a weekend sporting event.

The mother of one of the students told Yonhap: “The children were shaking, crying, and frightened.”

Police said the suspect had so far not given any explanation for his actions, nor was he drunk at the point of his arrest.

“It is difficult to have a normal conversation with him,” an official said. “We will investigate the motive of the crime and punish him.”
