WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Fernando Santos’ position as Poland coach remained uncertain Tuesday after he met with the president of the country’s soccer federation following the team’s poor start to European Championship qualifying.The 68-year-old Santos, who has only been in the job since January after spending eight years as coach of his native Portugal, will hold further talks with Cezary Kulesza this week and no final decision has been taken on his future, federation spokesman and team manager Jakub Kwiatkowski said.Poland, with star striker Robert Lewandowski, is fourth in its five-team European Championship qualifying group — behind Albania, the Czech Republic and Moldova — after losing three of its five games so far. The results and performances have prompted criticism from fans and national media.Santos parted ways with Portugal after last year’s World Cup in Qatar. He is Poland’s third foreign-born coach, after Leo Beenhakker and Paulo Sousa.He was t...

Beijing afirma que un ciudadano estadounidense encarcelado de por vida en China era un espía condecorado que trabajó sin ser detectado durante décadas

(CNN) — Beijing afirma que un ciudadano estadounidense encarcelado de por vida en China a principios de este año es un espía condecorado que había trabajado para la inteligencia estadounidense durante más de tres décadas, mientras intensifica una campaña de advertencia a los ciudadanos para protegerse del espionaje extranjero.John Shing-Wan Leung, ciudadano estadounidense de 78 años que también tiene residencia permanente en Hong Kong, fue condenado a cadena perpetua por un tribunal chino en mayo por cargos de espionaje.En ese momento, las autoridades no proporcionaron detalles sobre su caso, excepto que fue detenido por agentes de seguridad del Estado en abril de 2021.Meses después de la sentencia, el Ministerio de Seguridad del Estado, la principal agencia de espionaje civil de China, afirmó en una publicación en redes sociales este lunes que Leung había sido reclutado por agencias de inteligencia estadounidenses en 1989 y recibió lo que denominó una “medalla al mérito” por ...

La democracia de Israel se encuentra en una encrucijada mientras su tribunal superior debate una ley que limita su poder. Esto es lo que debes saber

(CNN) — La Corte Suprema de Israel abre audiencias este martes sobre una ley para limitar sus poderes, en un caso que podría poner al poder judicial en rumbo de colisión con el gobierno de línea dura del primer ministro Benjamín Netanyahu después de meses de protestas masivas por la controvertida legislación.El tribunal escuchará argumentos a favor y en contra de la primera parte del plan de reforma judicial de Netanyahu para ser aprobada por el parlamento: una ley que restringe la capacidad del tribunal para anular acciones gubernamentales que considere “irrazonables”.Más allá de las cuestiones legales que rodean la ley y los jueces que deciden sobre sus propios poderes, sigue existiendo la cuestión de si el gobierno de Netanyahu siquiera acataría un fallo judicial (posiblemente dentro de meses si llega) que derogue la ley. Eso prepararía a Israel para una crisis judicial y política sin precedentes.Netanyahu siempre ha afirmado que tiene el control total de este gobierno, sin...
