(CNN) — Los niveles de agua son tan bajos en Canyon Lake en Texas que están reapareciendo una cueva submarina y restos de comunidades que se encontraban en el lugar hace más de un siglo.El lago, ubicado en el condado de Comal, al noreste de San Antonio, es un lago artificial que abarca 3.318 hectáreas acres con 128 km de costa. Fue construido en 1958 para ayudar a mitigar las inundaciones y preservar el agua y se llenó de agua en 1968, según el Cuerpo de Ingenieros del Ejército de EE.UU.La zona ha experimentado pocas lluvias durante el verano. La sequía combinada con las altas temperaturas produjo niveles de agua bajos sin precedentes. El miércoles, el nivel cayó a 271 metros, según el Cuerpo de Ingenieros del Ejército de EE. UU., que según la agencia es aproximadamente cinco metros por debajo de lo normal y el nivel más bajo registrado en la historia reciente.JM Pérez capturó imágenes el martes que muestran la cueva, que suele estar bajo el agua.

Trump goes on trial Monday before a judge who just ruled he’s a fraud

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 10:11:35 GMT

NEW YORK — Donald Trump is set to go to trial Monday in New York’s civil lawsuit accusing him of extensive business fraud — and while his formal courtroom adversary is the state attorney general’s office, he’ll also be facing off against the judge.In some ways, the trial is the culmination of months of antagonism between the former president and Justice Arthur Engoron, a Democrat who was elected to his current post as a Manhattan trial judge in 2015. The outcome of the nonjury trial will be entirely up to Engoron, who will make his decision on the heels of a series of fierce disputes with Trump.And in a surprise, Trump may attend the trial in person — a plan revealed by lawyers late last week. If Trump follows through and appears in court, he’ll be sitting just a few feet away from a man he has publicly derided as “deranged.”Last week, Engoron delivered a ruling that may obliterate Trump’s family business. Engoron found Trump liable for widespread fraud and revoked the licenses for ...

Germany backs China’s aid bank despite Canada’s concerns

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 10:11:35 GMT

Germany said it will continue supporting a Chinese state-backed development bank despite G7 partner Canada’s decision to freeze ties due to Beijing’s influence.After meeting China’s Vice-Premier He Lifeng in Frankfurt on Sunday, German Finance Minister Christian Lindner pledged to support the Beijing-based Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), the world’s second-largest multilateral development bank, after the World Bank.The backing comes at a crucial time as Lindner’s Canadian counterpart, Chrystia Freeland, announced in June that all ties with the bank were to be frozen pending a government review over claims made by a former Canadian top executive at the bank, who reported widespread “communist dominance” within the institution since its foundation in 2016 — allegations that AIIB denies.Lindner indicated Berlin would “continue strengthening coordination” with Beijing on the AIIB, according to a German-Chinese joint state...

Student loan payments restart in October. Here’s what borrowers should know

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 10:11:35 GMT

Washington (CNN) — For the first time in more than three years, federal student loan borrowers will be required to pay their monthly student loan bills starting in October.The pandemic-related pause, which went into effect in March 2020, provided relief to nearly 44 million borrowers by freezing their accounts.After several extensions by both the Trump and Biden administrations, the pause has finally expired after Congress prohibited the president from extending it another time.Restarting payments all at once for so many borrowers will be an unprecedented task. Here’s what borrowers need to know:When do payments restart?For most borrowers, the first payment will be due sometime in October – but not everyone has the exact same due date.Borrowers can expect to receive their bill, listing their payment amount and due date, at least 21 days beforehand.Those who graduated in the spring do not have to make payments until the grace period expires, usually...

Local 6-year-old battling leukemia to take part in Jimmy Fund Walk year after diagnosis

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 10:11:35 GMT

6-year-old Ben Currier is a fighter. He was diagnosed with leukemia last September.“We just thought he had a cold, and we took him to the pediatrician’s and ultimately ended up at Children’s for additional lab work,” his mom Lisa Currier said. “He was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It sort of just came out of nowhere.”During some of the most intense treatment last fall, his family remembers one shining moment. When hundreds of people walked with a purpose for the Jimmy Fund, the Currier family went to the sky bridge between the Dana-Farber building and the Jimmy Fund Clinic, waving to the crowd below.“I think seeing the amount of support that’s behind pediatric cancers and how big of a community it really is gave us some really positive encouragement in a very vulnerable moment for our family,” said dad Blake Currier. “I think that we really had a goal at that point that we wanted to contribute because of the community that wa...

Unfortunately, that weather setup is also allowing Canadian wildfire smoke to filter our skies. The smoke is aloft so it won’t impact our air quality, but still make for milky skies. High temperatures rebound to the upper 60s/low 70s inland. Temperatures will stay in the 60s on the coast with a northeasterly breeze this afternoon.The dry stretch continues through the work week.
