FILE - In this Sept. 9, 2019, file photo, Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diess unveils the new VW ID.3 sedan at the Auto Show in Frankfurt, Germany. Volkswagen has asked owners of more than 105,000 Beetles to bring the sedans to their workshops for replacement of defective Takata airbags, as they can explode and throw out broken parts. The repair covers 2012 through 2014 sedans. Dealers will replace, at no cost to owners, the driver's front bags beginning February 12. Takata used a volatile substance - ammonium nitrate - to create a controlled explosion that would inflate the bags in the event of a collision. However, that chemical can degrade when exposed to high temperatures and humidity, and therefore burn too quickly, blowing a metal canister containing it to pieces. Twenty-seven people have died worldwide from the explosion of inflators, including 18 in the United States. Volkswagen claimed in government documents that inflators have a chemical that absorbs moisture and that they do not pose an unreasonable safety risk. However, it will remove them at the request of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which is concerned that airbags could explode over time. The explosion of inflators in Takata bags led to the largest series of auto recalls in US history, with at least 63 million inflators needing to be replaced. The US government has said that, as of September, more than 11.1 million had not yet been repaired. Approximately 100 million inflators have been recalled worldwide.

Doris Pantaleon Santo Domingo, RD While the hospital centers affirm that they are prepared to attend to the medical eventualities that may arise, authorities, specialists and different sectors of the national life coincide in urging the po[CENSORED]tion to be prudent and not to neglect the prevention measures of the COVID virus during the festivities of Christmas Eve and Christmas. The guidelines include extreme care to prevent family encounters from becoming centers for the spread of the virus, as well as not neglecting the use of a mask, hygiene, physical distancing and avoiding meetings where many people participate. Faced with the customary Christmas Eve and Christmas meetings that the Dominican po[CENSORED]tion celebrates, the exhortations for restraint and moderation and not to neglect the COVID prevention measures have been externalized by the Minister of Public Health, Plutarco Arias; the director of the National Health Service (SNS), Mario Lama, the director of PROMESE / CAL, Adolfo Pérez, medical leaders and the Dominican Society of Pediatrics, among others. More support from the po[CENSORED]tion The Health Minister insisted on the po[CENSORED]tion not to lower their guard during the Christmas festivities to avoid contagion of the virus and to assume the commitment to prevent contagion by COVID-19 during the holidays of Christmas Eve, Christmas and New Year, collaborating with the agency Health and the other institutions that ensure that the health and safety of each citizen is guaranteed. While Dr. Lama pointed out that the COVID-19 Action Plan continues to be active and that the Respiratory Triage areas and the transfer system have been strengthened and insisted that this year that “we are facing an invisible enemy”, it is needed more than ever the support of the entire po[CENSORED]tion. Likewise, the Dominican Society of Pediatrics recommended to parents a list of actions to maintain the health and well-being of children, including keeping alert to protection measures against contagion by COVID-19 and the new strains that are being detected and using a mask in all interactions with other people, including those in the family nucleus when there are signs of exposure to people who have been in contact with the virus. Also, maintain social distancing whenever possible; otherwise, use the mask and replace it when necessary, wash hands with soap and water frequently, avoid excessive intake of sweets by parents and children and prevent children from handling fireworks. Quarantine for new strain In another order, the Minister of Public Health, Plutarco Arias, announced that they authorized three humanitarian flights from the United Kingdom for the arrival of Dominicans in the European country and that upon their arrival in the country they are being subjected to a 10-day quarantine, to the new strain of the virus detected in that nation.

The measure will be applied during the month of December Several public institutions announced this Monday the ban on parking vehicles in the main commercial arteries of Santiago during the month of December. During a press conference, led by representatives of the Mayor's Office of Santiago, the General Directorate of Traffic and Transportation Security (Digesett) and the National Institute of Traffic and Land Transportation (Intrant), they reported that said operation will be carried out with the intention of improving mobility in the municipality of Santiago, intervening in several areas where focal points of traffic jams have been detected. On behalf of the City Council, José Villalona Sosa, director of Municipal Transit, explained that these measures include the definitive parking ban on Imbert avenue, Gurabito, in the north-south section, as well as the provisional prohibition of vehicle parking on the avenue Antonio Guzmán, from the Hermanos Patiño bridge to the convergence of Hermanas Mirabal avenue and Las Carreras avenue, from December 15 to January 2, 2021. Likewise, the prohibition of vehicular parking covers Sabana Larga Avenue, from Restoration to 27 de Febrero south-north avenue, 27 Febrero avenue in the space from Sabana Larga street at both ends, to Plaza Lama. Also, in the central Calle Del Sol from March 30, to Calle España at both ends, as well as in front of Unión Médica Del Norte, from 7:00 a.m. to 9 a.m. 12:00 noon until 5:00 in the afternoon. While on the Jacagua highway from Estrella Sadhalá avenue, to the building of the Ministry of Public Works, second avenue and on Mirador del Yaque avenue, in front of the entire La Fuente supermarket area, provisionally at both ends. While Domingo Matías, Cibao-Norte director of the Intrant, with a seat in Santiago, explained that they will carry out this joint operation in order to draw the line to favor citizens and so that there is the fluidity of traffic that the city deserves, in these points Neuralgic during the Christmas period. The institutions, which are linked to this mobility regulation plan during Christmas, announced that it will serve as a pilot plan and depending on the results obtained, it will be put into effect definitively and that, otherwise, it will become to the previous position.

The New York Times London, United Kingdom Now that vaccines are beginning to give hope to emerge from the pandemic, British authorities last weekend warned of a highly contagious new variant of the coronavirus circulating in England. Taking as a reference the rapid spread of the virus in and around London, Prime Minister Boris Johnson imposed the strictest blockade on the country since March. "If the virus changes its method of attack, we must change our method of defense," he said. A crowd trying to rush out of the city when the restrictions went into effect packed London's train stations. On Sunday, European countries began closing their borders to travelers from the United Kingdom, hoping to block out the new version of the pathogen. In South Africa, a similar version of the virus emerged that, according to the scientists who detected it, shares one of the mutations seen in the British variant. That virus has been found in up to 90 percent of samples whose genetic sequences have been analyzed in South Africa since mid-November. Scientists are concerned about these variants, but are not surprised. Researchers have recorded thousands of small modifications to the genetic material of the coronavirus as it has spread around the world. Some variants become more common in a po[CENSORED]tion only by chance, not because the changes somehow overload the virus. However, as it becomes more difficult for the pathogen to survive, due to vaccines and the increasing immunity of human po[CENSORED]tions, researchers also hope that the virus will obtain useful mutations that allow it to spread more easily or escape detection. of the immune system. "It's a real warning that we need to pay more attention," said Jesse Bloom, an evolutionary biologist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. "Without a doubt, these mutations are going to spread, and ultimately the scientific community needs to monitor these mutations and describe which ones have effects." The British variant has around twenty mutations, including several that affect the way the virus attaches to and infects human cells. These mutations may allow the variant to replicate and transmit itself more efficiently, said Muge Cevik, an infectious disease expert at the University of St. Andrew in Scotland and a scientific adviser to the British government. However, the estimate of higher transmissibility (British officials said the variant was up to 70 percent more transmissible) is based on modeling and has not been confirmed in laboratory experiments, Cevik added. "In general, I think we need to have a little more experimental data," he said. "We cannot entirely rule out the fact that some of this transmissibility data may be related to human behavior." In South Africa, scientists were also quick to point out that human behavior was driving the epidemic, not necessarily new mutations whose effect on transmissibility has yet to be quantified. The British announcement raised concerns that the virus could evolve to become resistant to the newly released vaccines. Concerns center on a couple of alterations in the virus' genetic code that could make it less vulnerable to certain antibodies. However, several experts called for caution, arguing that it would take years, not months, for the virus to evolve enough to render current vaccines impotent. "No one should be concerned about the possibility of a single catastrophic mutation emerging that suddenly cripples all immunity and antibodies," said Bloom. “It is going to be a process that will happen over several years and requires the accumulation of multiple viral mutations. It doesn't function as an on-off switch, ”he added. The scientific nuance mattered little to the UK's neighbors. The Dutch, concerned about the possible influx of travelers carrying the variant, said they would suspend flights from the United Kingdom from Sunday, December 20, 2020 until January 1, 2021. Italy also suspended air travel, and on Sunday Belgian officials enacted a 24-hour ban on arrivals from the UK by air or train. Germany is developing a regulation limiting travelers from the UK and South Africa. According to local media, other countries are also considering bans, including France, Austria and Ireland. Spain has asked the European Union for a coordinated response to the ban on flights. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo asked the Donald Trump administration to consider the possibility. He added that the restrictions Johnson imposed could be in effect for months. Like all viruses, the coronavirus is a metamorph. Some genetic changes are inconsistent, but others can give you a head start. Scientists particularly fear this last possibility. The vaccination of millions of people can force the virus to make new adaptations, mutations that help it evade or resist the immune response. There are already small changes in the virus that have arisen independently on various occasions around the world, suggesting that the mutations are useful to the pathogen. The mutation that affects susceptibility to antibodies (technical name deletion 69-70, referring to missing letters in the genetic code) has been observed at least three times: in Danish mink, in people from the United Kingdom and in an immunosuppressed patient who became much less sensitive to convalescent plasma. “This thing is broadcast. It's spread. It adapts all the time, ”said Ravindra Gupta, a virologist at the University of Cambridge who last week detailed the recurrent emergence and spread of the deletion. "But people don't want to hear what we say, which is that this virus will mutate," he added. The new genetic deletion changes the spike protein (known as protein S) found on the surface of the coronavirus, which the virus needs to infect human cells. Variants of the virus with this elimination emerged independently in Thailand and Germany in early 2020 and became prevalent in Denmark and England in August. Several recent articles have shown that the coronavirus can evolve to avoid being recognized by a single monoclonal antibody, a mixture of two antibodies, or even a convalescent serum administered to a specific individual. Fortunately, the body's immune system as a whole is a much more formidable adversary. The Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines induce an immune response only to protein S located on the surface of the coronavirus. However, each infected person produces a wide, unique and complex repertoire of antibodies against this protein. "Let's say we have a thousand high-caliber guns that target the virus," said Kartik Chandran, a virus expert at the Albert Einstein School of Medicine in New York. "No matter how the virus twists and turns, it is not so easy to find a genetic solution that can really combat all these different antibody specificities, not to mention the other arms of the immune response." In short: it will be very difficult for the coronavirus to escape the body's defenses, despite the many variants it may adopt. Escaping immunity requires a virus to accumulate a series of mutations, each of which allows the pathogen to erode the effectiveness of the body's defenses. Some viruses, such as influenza, accumulate these changes relatively quickly. But others, like the measles virus, have almost none of the alterations. Even the influenza virus takes five to seven years to collect enough mutations to completely escape immune recognition, Bloom said. His lab released a new report on Friday, December 18, showing that common cold coronaviruses also evolve to escape detection by the immune system, but that happens over many years. The scale of infections in this pandemic may be generating rapid diversity in the new coronavirus. Still, the vast majority of people around the world have yet to become infected, and that has given scientists hope. "I would be a bit surprised if we saw active selection for immune escape," said Emma Hodcroft, a molecular public health researcher at the University of Bern in Switzerland. "The virus does not need to do that yet in a po[CENSORED]tion that has mostly not been exposed, but it is something we want to take care of in the long term, particularly when we start vaccinating more people," she explained. Immunizing about 60 percent of the po[CENSORED]tion over the course of a year and keeping the number of cases low while that happens will help minimize the chances of the virus mutating significantly, Hodcroft said. Still, scientists will need to closely monitor the evolution of the virus to detect mutations that could give it an advantage over vaccines.

The absolute leader in electrification among Premium brands, presents new patented technologies for the control of electric torque, called "DIRECT4" The cradle of Lexus, TMC, is the automotive group with the most experience in electrification, being the first manufacturer in the world to introduce an electrified car to the market, when it unveiled the Toyota Prius in 1997. But in that trajectory, Lexus established itself as the The undisputed leader in electrification among Premium brands since the launch of the RX400h in 2005. If it is the largest manufacturer in the world, it is because in essence it is a research and development institution that does not stop. In this sense, Lexus has chosen not to rush and wait until now, to reveal its global strategy of total electrification. Under the "Lexus Electrified" program, the Premium brand presented the LF30 concept last year as a sample of the new technologies that Lexus has been developing. This points to a quantum leap in performance, handling and control, but especially in the pleasure that the driver should receive from taking the wheel of a 100% electric Lexus. The result is a new philosophy based on electrical transmission control technologies called "DIRECT4". ptimal driving force to the front and rear wheels, capable of recognizing both the driving situation and the driver's intentions. The essence of DIRECT4 technology is in the concept of direct torque transmission to the wheels, based on the position of electric motors on each axle. Precisely controlled power and braking channeled through the front and rear electric motors dictate thrilling cornering and acceleration performance, with exceptional anticipatory and intuitive responsiveness to deliver a feeling of extreme confidence. These patented technologies are what they call the "Lexus Driving Signature." Chief Engineer Takashi Watanabe explains how the resulting experience supports the development of the Lexus Driving Signature: “These technologies are tuned to work together seamlessly in a way that only Lexus can deliver, providing a natural driving feel, an optimal connection to the vehicle. car and the true comfort that comes from confidence, in a carefully designed vehicle with the right characteristics: balance of emotion and predictability ”. The world of electrics changes the concept of mobility in all senses, but all senses should not be changed. The impact of the change has forgotten to improve some sensitive concepts regarding driving satisfaction. Electric cars have focused on new powertrain technology to get you from one place to another, losing the essence of good driving. Lexus has not only focused on maintaining the substance of driving pleasure through electrification, but on taking it to another level. Another new dimension is design. Efficiency determines function and function determines form. Koichi Suga, general manager of Lexus Design, comments that "the new expressions of design and the originality more ingrained in the proportions are directly related to the technology that Lexus pursues with the electrification".

However, researcher says that new strain will not reduce the effectiveness of vaccines The variants of any virus are normal 'and very recurrent', but the main characteristic of the one that has been detected in the United Kingdom is its high 'efficacy' and that it is clearly imposing itself compared to others that have already been observed. This is how the immunologist and virologist Margarita del Val, a researcher at the Severo Ochoa Molecular Biology Center - a joint center of the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) and the Autonomous University of Madrid - explained this today, who has shown herself convinced that this variant will not reduce the effectiveness of vaccines that have already been started. Margarita del Val made these considerations during a press conference called by the Confederation of Scientific Societies of Spain (COSCE) to present the third annual transparency report on the use of animals for scientific experimentation. During the appearance, the researcher underlined the usefulness of animal models to obtain vaccines against any infection, including that caused by SARS-CoV-2. The scientist, focused on researching the new coronavirus since the beginning of the pandemic, explained that one of the aspects that has already been investigated in animals that have been infected and vaccinated has been to know if variants of the virus arose and has ensured that the answer was 'no', that no variants of the virus had been detected. "It seems that in the different vaccine prototypes that have already been tested, these variants have not emerged," said Margarita del Val, adding that therefore it is to be expected that the new variant of the virus that has emerged in the United Kingdom it also has no impact on the efficacy of the vaccines that are already being applied in different countries. The researcher explained that the emergence of different variants of the same virus 'is a recurring issue', and has specified that 'what is peculiar' in this case is that it is being imposed on others in a sustained way and at a time when the incidence is very high. 'It is competing very effectively with other variants of the virus that are circulating,' said Margarita del Val, and pointed out that this suggests two things: 'either it is a variant that is better transmitted, or it comes from an outbreak or from several outbreaks which have been very numerous. ' In her opinion, while these aspects are clarified 'and as a precaution' it is necessary to adopt measures to restrict mobility and contacts in the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe, and among them she has assessed that PCR tests be intensified in the regions with a greater influx of British citizens or from that country. Del Val has also observed that the experiments that have already been carried out have served to verify that when the animals were vaccinated and later infected "the multiplication of the virus is controlled in a very intense way, but not totally in the nasopharyngeal cavity." Thus, according to the researcher, vaccinated people will be protected from the disease 'mild, severe and death', but 'without knowing it' they could be contagious, so it has influenced that these people should continue to take care of the same security measures when the vaccination campaign begins and they have received the dose. Del Val has therefore stressed the importance of maintaining the same control measures after the start of the vaccination campaigns: 'ventilation, clean air, masks, distance, hygiene and controlled gaps'.

The desperation of a driver to arrive before the curfew began led a driver of a gray Hyundai Sonata car to cross the red traffic light and meet a gray Nissan Kicks SUV that was carrying inside four people. Desperation to get home before curfew led a driver of a gray Hyundai Sonata to cross the red light and meet a gray Nissan Kicks SUV that was carrying four people. Around 8:45 at night the roar of the impact between the two vehicles was heard. Followed by two more hits. The jeep crashed against the post that supports the traffic lights, being destroyed. And knocking down, like ripe fruits, two traffic lights. Then the disconsolate cry of one of the people in the jeep. The worst was expected. Luckily no one was seriously injured, although both vehicles were in very poor condition. The incident occurred at the intersection of Abraham Lincoln Avenue with Max Henríquez Ureña Street, in the National District. The Hyundai was traveling from north to south; those of the Nissan in an east-west direction. According to witnesses, the driver of the Hyundai car crossed the red light at high speed. The man driving the vehicle just said, "I want to cross the bridge before curfew." A driver who saw the accident told Diario Libre reporters that the Hyundai driver had passed other previous traffic lights at high speed. The passengers and the driver in the SUV were stunned but not seriously injured. The main regret was his mother's new jeep. The 911 ambulance treated them all, they were stable. Minutes later, the mother of the young people arrived, who after checking that her children were well repeated the warning: "That happens to them for leaving 15 minutes before curfew." Once the representative of the authority, a Digesett agent arrived, all the witnesses pointed to the culprit. Like this accident, there are dozens that occur when the end of freedom of transit approaches. In fact, despite the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic has reduced business activity in the Dominican Republic, traffic fatalities continue with appalling frequency. The director of the traumatic hospital Ney Arias Lora, Julio Landrón, warned on Friday that the Dominican Republic will end this year with around 4 thousand deaths from traffic accidents, which represents an average of about 11 deaths a day or the same as one death each two hours.

La Oficina Especializada en Lucha contra el Lavado de Activos y Financiamiento del Terrorismo ocupó en Boca Chica, junto con la Unidad de Administración y Custodia de Bienes Incautados de la Procuraduría General de la República, 22 lujosos departamentos adquiridos con dinero de la millonaria estafa tipo ponzi que estafó a unas 600 personas en Canadá. Los departamentos, que forman parte de la torre Boca del Mar y su incautación, son parte de las investigaciones que realiza la Fiscalía Especial, a raíz de una solicitud de Asistencia Legal Internacional de las autoridades canadienses. El Gobierno de Canadá identifica como el principal líder de la red a Charles Paul Vincent Debono, quien blanqueó dinero en República Dominicana a través de su pareja sentimental y el entorno familiar de la mujer, dijo un comunicado de prensa. En el país se ubican dentro de la red de blanqueo los imputados Sol Esperanza Acosta, Zoris Yiser Holguín Acosta y Tommaso Tascone, quienes se encuentran detenidos por un año impuesto por un juzgado de instrucción del Distrito Nacional el 21 de septiembre, cuando además declaró el caso. complejo. The money laundering scheme in which the deported Debono invested the money, was by creating and buying companies and transferring them in the name of front men and other members of the network. The deported Charles Paul Vincent Debono, together with his sentimental partner and under the front company “Beta 2006”, acquired 25 apartments valued at one million seven hundred twenty-four thousand two hundred sixty-eight dollars US $ 1,724,268. Later, within one of the washing modalities, he pretended that they belonged to the front men Zoris Yiser Holguín Acosta and Tommaso Tascone. Of those 25 apartments, 22 were occupied and placed in the custody of the Seized Assets Unit of the Attorney General's Office, the note said.

The director of the traumatic hospital Ney Arias Lora, Julio Landrón, warned this Friday that the Dominican Republic will end this year with around 4 thousand deaths from traffic accidents, which represents an average of about 11 deaths per day. Landrón pointed out that deaths from traffic accidents exceed deaths from cardiovascular problems or from different types of cancer. "Our country has more than 3,600 annual deaths from traffic accidents and we have to fight to prevent it," said the doctor. Landrón indicated that as a trauma hospital they are committed to reducing traffic accidents, for which they launched the campaign “Taking care of you, we take care of ourselves all”, which seeks to raise awareness among citizens about the use of seat belts, proper driving and the use of case in the case of motorcyclists. “It is important to permanently wear the seat belt, which in the event of an accident could prevent 38% of deaths. The motorcyclists use the protective helmet, because this would protect the brain in case of an accident ”, explained the director. Landrón pointed out that the highest number of accidents are registered in motorcyclists and that this is usually worse when they collide with each other. “Right now in intensive care the patients who are in the ICU, the majority, are from motorcycle accidents. Yesterday we received four people where engines collided with engines ”, he specified. The director classified traffic accidents as a pandemic worse than COVID-19, in which more than 25% of people who are involved in a situation like that have permanent injuries. Landrón explained that as a preventive measure, the hospital reinforced its intensive care area and its emergency, integrating more health personnel. Likewise, it has 35 permanent beds for vehicle accident cases.

Santo Domingo, RD. In the framework of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and to give gender to the annual campaign # 16Díasdeactivismo by UN Women, activists from all over the world have come together to remember the victims of violence by drawing butterflies. This initiative seeks to raise awareness about the importance of eliminating violence against women, writing the names of different victims of gender violence and drawing butterflies around them. This movement is led by the Chalk Back Organization (in Spanish, “respond with chalk”), the tribute aims to raise awareness about the scale and impact of gender violence. The concept of butterflies arises in honor of the Mirabal sisters: Minerva, Patria and María Teresa, in the same way, to remember those whose wings were torn off at the hands of gender violence. “The idea is that people from all over the world come together and draw butterflies (either digitally, with chalk or on sheets of paper) as a metaphor to represent all those women whose wings were torn off at the hands of femicide, such as it was the case of the Mirabals ”, explains Rosalia Piña, co-founder of the CatCalls account in the Dominican Republic (@catcallsofdr). About Chalk Back The Chalk Back Organization encompasses Instagram accounts from around the world called “catcallsof…” and the name of the country or city. Catcalls in Spanish "street stalkers", and through these digital channels led by more than 500 young people from six continents, 55 countries and 170 cities, testimonies of street sexual harassment are shared as a complaint and to lead to reflection under the statement "If it makes you uncomfortable to read it, imagine hearing it."

People will count, every day, with a grace until 9:00 at night, to transit exclusively to their respective residences. The Executive Power ordered this Tuesday to reinforce the curfew and social distancing measures adopted within the framework of the state of emergency, to optimize the prevention of the spread of COVID-19. Through Decree 698-20 signed by President Luis Abinader, the mode and hours of the curfew are modified, according to geographic jurisdictions. The new provision comes into effect from this Tuesday, December 15, 2020 at 7:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. until the lifting of the state of emergency, including any possible extension of this, or until any provision is made. variation to such measurements. The Office of Information and Press of the Presidency communicated that, as of today, the rules that will govern according to the provinces and schedules are the following: In the National District and the provinces of Santo Domingo, Santiago, Duarte, La Vega and Puerto Plata, the curfew covers every day, from 7:00 at night to 5:00 in the morning. However, people will count, every day, with a grace until 9:00 at night, to transit exclusively to their respective residences. In the rest of the country, the curfew runs from Monday to Friday from 9:00 at night until 5:00 in the morning. Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from 7:00 at night until 5:00 in the morning. As in the other provinces, on those days people will have a grace until 9:00 at night to travel exclusively to their respective residences.

Moderate economic growth, estimated at 3.5%, is projected insufficient to recover the ground lost in the crisis. Employment in Latin America and the Caribbean will enter 2021 under intensive care with an unprecedented unemployment rate of more than 10%, as a result of the pandemic that triggered 30 million job losses in 2020, the ILO reported this Thursday. "The 2020 Labor Outlook registers a strong increase in the unemployment rate that would rise up to 2.5 percentage points compared to the previous year, going from 8.1% to 10.6%," says the ILO in its annual regional report about employment. "This would mean that the number of people looking for a job who cannot get it increases by 5.4 million and reaches 30.1 million", given the impact of covid-19, says the International Labor Organization (ILO), whose office for Latin America and the Caribbean it is in Lima. The future does not look very optimistic either: in 2021 the unemployment rate could rise again to 11.2%, the ILO warned. Moderate economic growth, estimated at 3.5%, is projected insufficient to recover the ground lost in the crisis, according to the United Nations labor organization. The uncertainty about the evolution of the pandemic with the possibility of new infections and a second wave, and the vaccination processes that would only arrive in the region in 2021 make the worst signs of these indicators grow. "Employment is in a bed ICU, we must take the necessary measures to get out of that healthy and with prosperity and sustainable growth in employment," said the ILO regional director, Vinicius Pinheiro, during a virtual press conference in Lima on the labor report. “Now it is essential to achieve economic growth with employment. Employment is crucial to reduce poverty and confront the amplification of inequalities that this pandemic is leaving as a sequel, "added the ILO director. "The region was hit hard by this crisis, even more than others in the world," Pinheiro reiterated. The head of the ILO attributed this setback "in large part to structural problems that existed and we knew about." These problems include high social inequality and high informality. On January 28, before the coronavirus crisis reached the region, the ILO had said that more than 25 million Latin Americans and Caribbean people were unemployed, and the number would surely increase in 2020 due to the weak growth of the economies.

Sara Carreira. A week after the terrible accident where the young singer Sara Carreira died, only 21 years old, her followers and media in Portugal are still shocked by the news. According to the newspaper "Jornal de Noticias", the young woman lost her life on December 7 in a serious traffic accident on a highway when she was traveling with her boyfriend, the musician Ivo Lucas, who was the one who was driving the car and who suffered a fracture open on the arm. According to media reports in her country, it seems that three other vehicles were involved in the accident and resulted in the cut off of traffic on the A1, heading North-South. 26 operatives had to intervene in the tasks of caring for the wounded and removing the cars. The young woman was the daughter of the po[CENSORED]r Tony Carreira. The networks are remembering their most emblematic actions and several users have shared images of the accident and how the vehicle was after the impact. The artist was also a po[CENSORED]r voice actress thanks to the animated film Os sete anões e os sapatos magicos and had stood out in the world of Instagram influencers, where she had almost 350,000 followers and had even launched her own fashion line. The commotion in Portugal has been so great that even the President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, has expressed his "heartfelt and friendly condolences" to Sara's family, who for their part has asked for "peace and privacy." "In this moment of pain, mourning and shock, I have presented my deepest condolences to the Carreira family for this terrible loss," can be read in a public note posted on the government website.
