Mayor Turner Thanks EPA Administrator Regan for Bold Action Following Visit to Houston 

 
Earlier today, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan announced Bold Actions to Protect Communities Following the Journey to Justice Tour.Last November, Administrator Regan visited the Fifth Ward, Kashmere Gardens, and the Houston Ship Channel. He spoke with Mayor Sylvester Turner and residents about air and water pollution from nearby facilities in the community.

“I thank Administrator Michael Regan for his quick follow-up actions. During his recent visit to Houston, he had the opportunity to hear directly from people and tour the neighborhoods of most significant concern,” said Mayor Sylvester Turner. “For our Houston residents, I want them to know the partnership between the EPA and the City of Houston is focused on them. It is very encouraging to have the Administration share our concerns and know the names and faces of those affected. We look forward to working with our federal partners and continuing the close cooperation with Administrator Regan and his team.”

The following information is included in the the EPA report:

In the Fifth Ward and Kashmere Gardens area, EPA announced completion of a review of a proposed Union Pacific Railroad permit renewal and corrective actions that govern cleanup of contamination at the Houston Wood Preserving Works site. EPA intends to submit comments to TCEQ laying out concerns and recommendations to ensure that permit terms and corrective action goals address the concerns of community members, who are disproportionately impacted by pollution.

EPA is also monitoring TCEQ’s installation and operation of additional air monitors. These air monitors will supplement the existing monitoring network and capture the pollution that residents in these communities face. In addition, on January 20, 2022, Administrator Regan spoke with Mayor Sylvester Turner to discuss the continued commitment between EPA and the City of Houston to work together to ensure the community’s concerns are addressed and the health and safety of residents is protected.

In response to the call for improved accessibility to language and interpretation services, EPA is establishing a partnership with Texas Environmental Justice Advocacy Services ( T.E.J.A.S) under the Beyond Translation (BT) Plus program to improve communication, especially when it comes to information on environmental risk and enforcement. Under the partnership, EPA will develop local strategies to address air toxics in communities, provide better transparency regarding enforcement, and improve access to risk management plans.

NFL Playoffs: Kansas City Chiefs eliminan a Buffalo Bills y avanzan a la final de la Americana

 En un encuentro en que nadie se rendía ni dejaba de conseguir puntos, fue el lanzamiento de una moneda lo que resultó decisivo.

Patrick Mahomes encontró a Travis Kelce en el último rincón de la zona prometida al comienzo de la prórroga, y los Chiefs de Kansas City remontaron para vencer el domingo 42-36 a los Bills de Buffalo en un memorable duelo de artillería en playoffs.

“Todo nos salió bien esta vez”, dijo Mahomes, quien disputará su cuarta final consecutiva de la Conferencia Americana.

La ventaja cambió de manos en tres ocasiones tan sólo durante los últimos dos minutos del tiempo regular de este duelo divisional.

Luego, Harrison Butker, quien había errado un gol de campo y un punto extra, acertó desde la distancia de 49 yardas por Kansas City cuando el tiempo se agotaba, para obligar al alargue.

Los Chiefs ganaron en el lanzamiento de la moneda y se adentraron con celeridad al campo contrario ante la defensiva mejor ubicada en el ranking de la NFL, que para entonces estaba sin embargo absolutamente fundida.

El envío final de Mahomes instaló a los Chiefs de nuevo en la final de la Americana. Enfrentarán a los Bengals de Cincinnati el próximo domingo por la noche, en pos de un boleto al Super Bowl.

“Cuando hay dos equipos que anotan, es desagradable que no tengas la oportunidad de atacar para buscar el empate”, dijo Mahomes acerca de lo que ocurrió con Buffalo. “Pero todo lo que puedes hacer es jugar con apego a las reglas que hay, y eso fue lo que hicimos”.

Mahomes finalizó con 378 yardas por aire y tres pases de anotación, incluyendo uno de 64 yardas a Tyreek Hill durante los electrizantes últimos minutos del tiempo regular. Por segundo año consecutivo, los Chiefs eliminaron a los Bills en el Arrowhead Stadium.

“Los chicos no dudaron nunca”, enfatizó el entrenador en jefe de los Chiefs, Andy Reid. “Hablamos aquí de un partido épico. Bueno, así es como los jugadores se lo tomaron. Sentían un gran respeto por Buffalo y sabían que esto iba a ser una batalla, así que siguieron luchando”.

Josh Allen hizo todo lo humanamente posible por evitarlo. Lanzó un pase de anotación para que Gabriel Davis anotara el touchdown que significó la ventaja con 1:54 minutos restantes en el tiempo regular.

Con 13 segundos por jugar, logró su cuarto envío de anotación, la mejor cifra en su carrera dentro de los playoffs, nuevamente con Davis.

Allen finalizó con 329 yardas por aire. Davis totalizó ocho recepciones para 201 yardas.

Pero los Bills, que habían apabullado a los Chiefs en octubre, sufrieron su novena derrota consecutiva como visitantes en la postemporada. Su último triunfo en playoffs y en campo ajeno se remonta a la final de la Americana tras la campaña de 1992.

En un partido de postemporada que quedará inscrito en los libros de historia, los Bills y los Chiefs libraron un duelo de toma y daca durante 58 minutos.

Los dos minutos restantes del tiempo regular, así como la prórroga, fueron algo más, inolvidable.

EEUU, Reino Unido y la UE ratificaron un frente común ante el conflicto en la frontera Rusia-Ucrania

El presidente de Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, aseguró este lunes que hay “total unanimidad” entre su postura y la de sus aliados europeos en cuanto a la concentración de tropas rusas en la frontera con Ucrania.

El presidente de Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, aseguró este lunes que hay “total unanimidad” entre su postura y la de sus aliados europeos en cuanto a la concentración de tropas rusas en la frontera con Ucrania.

“He tenido una reunión muy, muy, muy buena. (Hay una) unanimidad total con todos los líderes europeos”, dijo Biden en declaraciones a la prensa en la Casa Blanca.

El mandatario se pronunció así, sin dar más detalles, después de mantener una conversación de una hora y veinte minutos con la presidenta de la Comisión Europea (CE), Ursula von der Leyen; y el secretario general de la OTAN, Jens Stoltenberg, entre otros, para coordinar la respuesta a la crisis de Ucrania.

En un comunicado posterior, la Casa Blanca resaltó que “Biden ha mantenido hoy una videollamada segura con los líderes europeos”.

Joe Biden durante el diálogo con sus pares europeos (Reuters)“Han reiterado su continua preocupación por la concentración militar rusa en las fronteras de Ucrania y han expresado su apoyo a la soberanía y la integridad territorial de Ucrania. Los dirigentes subrayaron su deseo común de encontrar una solución diplomática a las tensiones actuales y repasaron los recientes compromisos con Rusia en múltiples formatos”, destaca el comunicado.

En ese sentido, la Casa Blanca afirmó que “los dirigentes también hablaron de sus esfuerzos conjuntos para disuadir de nuevas agresiones rusas contra Ucrania, incluidos los preparativos para imponer a Rusia consecuencias masivas y graves costes económicos por tales acciones, así como para reforzar la seguridad en el flanco oriental de la OTAN. Se comprometieron a seguir consultando estrechamente con los aliados y socios transatlánticos, incluyendo el trabajo con y a través de la UE, la OTAN y la OSCE”.

En la videollamada también participaron el presidente de Francia, Emmanuel Macron; el canciller alemán, Olaf Scholz; el primer ministro italiano, Mario Draghi; el presidente polaco, Andrzej Duda, y el primer ministro británico, Boris Johnson, según la Casa Blanca.

En un tuit posterior, Biden aseguró que los líderes habían conversado sobre “los esfuerzos conjuntos para disuadir una mayor agresión por parte de Rusia, como las preparaciones para imponer duros costes económicos a Rusia y reforzar la seguridad en el flanco este” de la OTAN.

La conversación se produjo después de que el Pentágono anunciara que ha colocado en alerta “elevada” a 8.500 soldados ante el aumento de la tensión con Moscú por Ucrania, aunque todavía no ha adoptado ninguna decisión sobre un despliegue en el este de Europa.

El portavoz del Pentágono, John Kirby, hizo hincapié en que el grueso de las tropas estadounidenses se desplegaría en países del este de Europa dentro de la Fuerza de Respuesta de la OTAN (NRF, por sus siglas en inglés), por lo que se activarían únicamente si la alianza atlántica lo solicita.

Kirby explicó que depende de la OTAN activar esa fuerza multinacional, que consta de efectivos terrestres, aéreos y marítimos, y que cuenta con unos 40.000 militares de distintos países.

No obstante, el portavoz del Pentágono no descartó un posible despliegue de EEUU “unilateral” fuera de la NRF, aunque insistió que en ese caso siempre sería en coordinación y tras consultas con los aliados.

La Alianza Atlántica también anunció este lunes que pone “en estado de alerta” y envía barcos y aviones de combate adicionales a los despliegues de la OTAN en Europa oriental, reforzando la disuasión y defensa aliada, mientras Rusia continúa con su acumulación militar en y alrededor de Ucrania.
