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.

COVID transmission rates indicate Houston may be past omicron peak

COVID transmission rates indicate Houston may be past omicron peak

We’ve reached the Omicron peak in the Houston area. The hope is we will move past it soon.

However, we can’t get ahead of ourselves and celebrate for two reasons: There are still a lot of people infected with the virus. The number of children hospitalized has not gone down yet.

“Right now, with respect to hospitalizations, we’re still at peak,” said Dr. Jim Versalovic, COVID-19 Command Center co-leader at Texas Children’s Hospital. “The reality is, we know the children under five are wholly unvaccinated, and that we have an extremely contagious variant that is still rapidly spreading throughout our region.”

According to the city of Houston Health Authority, Dr. David Persse, omicron in the adult population is going down. The proof is in the wastewater. There’s less of the virus being detected in waste. Therefore, we are hitting the peak of the omicron surge earlier than predicted.

That’s certainly moving in the right direction, but with a lot of people still in the hospital or sick with symptoms at home, experts stop short of saying the surge will go down as fast as it went up.

According to SETRAC, there are 3,122 people in the hospital across 25 southeast Texas counties. Officials said 547 of the patients are in the ICU, and 141 pediatric patients are also hospitalized.

“We anticipate that we will be vaccinating many more young adolescents and boosting more adolescents in the days and weeks ahead,” said Dr. Versalovic.

Those with a booster shot are 90% less likely to need hospitalization, according to a new CDC report. Dr. Persse confirms that’s accurate for patients across our hospital systems as well.

China mandates 3-day Olympic torch relay amid virus concerns

China mandates 3-day Olympic torch relay amid virus concerns

China is limiting the torch relay for the Winter Olympics to only three days amid coronavirus worries, organizers said Friday.

The flame will be displayed only in enclosed venues that are deemed “safe and controllable,” according to officials.

No public transit routes would be disturbed and normal life would continue for the 20 million residents of the capital, where a handful of new COVID-19 cases have been recorded over recent days.

Beijing’s deputy sports director, Yang Haibin, said safety was the “top priority,” with the pandemic, venue preparations and the possibility of forest fires in Beijing’s cold, dry climate all factored in.

The relay will run from Feb. 2-4, taking in the three competition areas of downtown Beijing, the suburb of Yanqing, and Zhangjiakou in the neighboring province of Hebei.

The Games have already been impacted on a scale similar to that experienced by Tokyo during last year’s Summer Olympics.

China says only selected spectators will be allowed to attend the events, and Olympic athletes, officials, staff and journalists are required to stay within a bubble that keeps them from contact with the general public.

The opening of the Games comes just days after the start of the Lunar New Year holiday, China’s biggest annual celebration when millions traditionally travel to their hometowns for family reunions. For the second year, the government has advised those living away from home to stay put, and train and plane travel has been curtailed.

Participants in the torch rally will undergo health screens and be carefully monitored, starting from two weeks before the event begins, said Xu Zhijun, deputy head of the organizing committee.

Beijing reported its first local omicron infection on Jan. 15, and 11 cases had been confirmed in the capital as of Thursday afternoon, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.

Outside of Beijing, several million people remain under lockdown as part of China’s “zero-tolerance” approach to dealing with the pandemic that has been credited with preventing outbreaks on the scale of the U.S. and other countries.

Numbers of new cases have dropped substantially in recent days amid strict adherence to masking, travel restrictions and school closures, along with a vaccination rate that now tops 85%. Some medical experts worry a lack of exposure to the virus could harm the Chinese population’s ability to deal with future waves of infection.

The scaled-down torch relay is a far cry from 2008, when Beijing sent the Olympic icon on a global journey ahead of its hosting of that year’s Summer Games. The relay drew protesters against China’s human rights violations and policies in Tibet, Xinjiang and elsewhere, leading to violent confrontations and the cancellation of some overseas stages.

The Winter Games have been beset by similar political controversies, alongside medical considerations.

Six weeks ago, the United States, Britain and several allies said they would not send dignitaries to attend the Games as a protest against human rights abuses by the Communist Party regime.

Athletes have been threatened by the organizing committee with “certain punishments” for saying or doing anything that would offend their Chinese hosts, while several delegations urged anyone headed to Beijing to take “burner” phones instead of their personal devices because of concerns their personal information could be compromised.

The National Hockey League cited uncertainty caused by the pandemic to hold back all of its players from the Olympic tournament.

And earlier this week, American broadcaster NBC said it won’t be sending announcing teams to China, citing the same virus concerns raised when the network pulled most of its broadcasters from the Tokyo Games.

Pemex toma control de Deer Park; refinará crudo de Shell por 15 años

Pemex toma control de Deer Park; refinará crudo de Shell por 15 años

Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) tomó este jueves la operación de la refinería de Deer Park, en Texas, luego de concluir la compra de la mitad de este activo a la angloholandesa Shell, a quien le comprará el crudo para procesar en esta planta durante los próximos 15 años, como parte del acuerdo de adquisición del 50.005% mediante el desembolso de 1,192 millones de dólares pactados originalmente para esta adquisición.

El director general de la estatal, Octavio Romero Oropeza, acompañado de directivos de Pemex y de Shell Oil Company, informó este jueves desde Texas que se cerró la operación para que el Estado mexicano se quede con la totalidad de esta planta.

En tanto, Royal Dutch Shell suministrará por al menos 15 años crudo a la refinería Deer Park, según un documento en manos de Reuters y una fuente con conocimiento del tema. Como parte del acuerdo de venta, Pemex absorberá a la mayor parte de los actuales trabajadores de la refinería durante dos años, según el documento y una de las fuentes.

Se espera que Shell suministre unos 200,000 barriles diarios de crudo extranjero y estadounidense a Deer Park durante al menos 15 años, según la fuente y el documento, fechado en julio. Una unidad de Pemex prevé aportar hasta 115,000 barriles por día de crudo mexicano a Deer Park y recibir unos 230,000 barriles diarios de productos refinados que podrían destinarse al mercado mexicano. La estatal acordó por separado suministrar materias primas a la planta química adyacente de Shell, dijo la fuente citada por Reuters.

La transacción financiera para la compra de la mitad de la refinería se concluyó en los términos pactados y anunciados en el mes de mayo pasado: el valor de la operación por los activos de la refinería es de 596 millones de dólares, equivalente al 50% de la participación de Shell en la deuda de la sociedad.

Adicionalmente se liquidó la deuda remanente por los 596 millones de dólares que corresponden al 50% de la participación de Pemex; los recursos para la operación fueron cubiertos por el Fondo Nacional de Infraestructura (Fonadin). Como se tenía previsto, la adquisición se concretó luego de que el pasado 22 de diciembre se informó que el Comité de Inversión Extranjera de Estados Unidos (CFIUS, por sus siglas en inglés) autorizó la operación de compra-venta al no haber identificado riesgos en materia de competencia ni de seguridad nacional para los Estados Unidos de América.

La petrolera del Estado detalló que al concluir la operación y en presencia del ingeniero Romero Oropeza, se llevó a cabo la primera sesión del Consejo de Administración de Deer Park, el cual quedó integrado por los siguientes funcionarios de Pemex: Ulises Hernández Romano, director general de PMI Comercio Internacional; Victor M. Navarro Cervantes, director corporativo de Planeación y Desempeño; Marcos M. Herrería Alamina, director corporativo de Administración Servicios; Jorge L. Basaldúa Ramos, responsable de Pemex Transformación Industrial, y Manuel Flores Camacho, director general de PMI Norte América.

Deer Park tiene capacidad de procesamiento de crudo de 340,000 barriles por día. Puede procesar crudo pesado y ligero sin generar combustóleo.

Texas pipeline company walks back threat to cut off gas to power plants

Texas pipeline company walks back threat to cut off gas to power plants

After threatening to cut off fuel to roughly a third of the power plants owned by Texas’ biggest power generator, a major pipeline company said Thursday it will continue selling natural gas to the plants through the end of March. But the companies have still not resolved their underlying financial dispute stemming from last February’s deadly winter storm.

Energy Transfer LP subsidiaries walked back their threat after Luminant, a Vistra Corp. subsidiary, on Wednesday asked state regulators to prevent the pipeline company from cutting off fuel to five Vistra power plants, which produce enough electricity to power 400,000 Texas homes, businesses and critical infrastructures such as schools and hospitals.

The pipeline companies had told Vistra that gas would stop flowing to the power plants on Monday unless Vistra paid Energy Transfer $21.6 million that they claim Vistra owes them, according to Vistra’s complaint to the Railroad Commission of Texas, which regulates the state’s oil and gas industry.

The “threat to terminate service in the middle of winter is illegal and grossly irresponsible and should be prohibited by this Commission,” Vistra said in the complaint. It called the move by Energy Transfer, run by billionaire Kelcy Warren, “a form of commercial extortion.”

Energy Transfer responded Thursday in a short filing with the Railroad Commission, saying it would continue selling natural gas to Vistra on the spot market — a one-time open market transaction for immediate delivery of gas purchased “on the spot.”

That would nullify the Monday deadline imposed by Energy Transfer. Vistra has been paying those spot market prices to Energy Transfer since Dec. 1, when its long-term contract for gas expired, and Energy Transfer said it would not negotiate another contract until Vistra paid the $21.6 million.

For Vistra, paying spot prices means buying gas from Energy Transfer at between $15 and $25 per million British Thermal Units (BTUs), compared to the average national price of $3.91 per million BTUs in 2021, according to the Energy Information Administration.

During last year’s winter storm — which caused the near-total collapse of the state’s power grid, left millions without power for days and caused hundreds of deaths — natural gas prices soared when a combination of freezing temperatures across the state and skyrocketing demand shut down natural gas facilities and power plants, which rely on each other to keep electricity flowing.

Vistra spent approximately $1.5 billion for natural gas during the dayslong crisis, “twice its planned natural gas cost to fuel its entire Texas fleet for a full year,” the filing said.

Vistra said in its filing that more than $600 million of that total was paid to Energy Transfer, “which is more than 96% of all amounts invoiced by [Energy Transfer].”

While many companies lost money during the storm, Energy Transfer made $2.4 billion.

The dispute between the energy giants had some elected officials expressing their concerns publicly.

Railroad Commission Chair Wayne Christian tweeted about it on Thursday: “I am paying close attention to this. @EnergyTransfer and @VistraCorp must come together to resolve this issue so that no Texans lose gas or electric service during cold weather. Do what’s right for Texans.”

Shortly after, state Sen. Nathan Johnson, D-Dallas, criticized Energy Transfer: “Gas suppliers should not be able to take the grid and consumers hostage as a means to prevail in their commercial disputes.”

After Energy Transfer said Thursday that it would not cut off gas to Vistra, Christian added: “I am thankful both parties were able to quickly come together to reach a resolution that keeps Texans protected this winter.”
