At least 37 dead and 170 injured left Russia’s attacks on Ukraine on Monday, according to Zelenski

The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenski, put at 37 the number of people killed on Monday in the different attacks launched by Russia against Ukrainian territory, which also caused 170 injuries on this day.
In a message written on his Telegram channel, Zelenski realized that, “so far, at least 37 people have died, including three children, and 170 have been injured, including 13 children.”
Zelenski offered these figures in a message in which he summarized a recent conversation with the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, about the Russian missile attack that “caused significant damage, even in a hospital in Kiev, where children were treated for cancer and other serious health problems.”
“I am grateful to Prime Minister Trudeau for his support. We have discussed what joint actions to give Russia a strong and adequate response to this terror,” according to Zelenski, whose country received numerous signs of international support after Monday’s attacks.
The White House considered on Monday that for Russian President Vladimir Putin, it is “normal” to attack civilian infrastructure and regretted that he does not care that, as happened this Monday, it is a children’s hospital.
“Unfortunately for Mr. Putin it is normal to attack the civilian infrastructure and he does not care if it is a hospital or residential building,” White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said at a press conference.
Russia’s attack on Kiev’s Okhmatdyt Pediatric Hospital and other infrastructures in the country has left at least 32 dead, including children, and dozens injured on Monday.
That offensive takes place on the eve of the start in Washington of the annual NATO summit, in which the allied countries will focus on approving measures that guarantee long-term support for Ukraine in the face of the Russian invasion.
Kirby pointed out that the meeting in the US capital will send Putin “a strong signal that if he believes he can overcome a coalition of countries that support Ukraine, he is again wrong.”

Deportation flight lands in Venezuela; government denies criminal gang links

A flight carrying 175 Venezuelan migrants deported from the United States arrived in Caracas on Sunday. This marks the third group to return since repatriation flights resumed a week ago, and among them is an alleged member of a criminal organization, according to Venezuelan authorities.
Unlike previous flights operated by the Venezuelan state airline Conviasa, this time, an aircraft from the U.S. airline Eastern landed at Maiquetía Airport, on the outskirts of Caracas, shortly after 2:00 p.m. with the deportees.
Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, who welcomed the returnees at the airport, stated that the 175 repatriated individuals were coming back “after being subjected, like all Venezuelans, to persecution” and dismissed claims that they belonged to the criminal organization El Tren de Aragua.
However, Cabello confirmed that “for the first time in these flights we have been carrying out, someone of significance wanted by Venezuelan justice has arrived, and he is not from El Tren de Aragua.” Instead, he belongs to a gang operating in the state of Trujillo. The minister did not disclose the individual’s identity or provide details on where he would be taken.

Son of journalist José Rubén Zamora condemns father’s return to prison as “illegal”

The son of renowned journalist José Rubén Zamora Marroquín, José Carlos Zamora, has denounced as “illegal” the court order that sent his father back to a Guatemalan prison on March 3, after already spending 819 days behind barsover a highly irregular money laundering case.
“My father’s return to prison was based on an arbitrary and illegal ruling. It is also alarming that the judge who had granted him house arrest received threats,” José Carlos Zamora told EFE in an interview on Saturday.
The 67-year-old journalist was sent back to prison inside the Mariscal Zavala military barracks on March 3, when Judge Erick García upheld a Court of Appeals ruling that overturned the house arrest granted to him in October. Zamora had already spent 819 days in prison over an alleged money laundering case.
His son condemned the situation as “unacceptable”, stating that the judge handling the case “cannot do his job in accordance with the law due to threats against his life.”

Miyazaki’s style goes viral with AI but at what cost?

This week, you may have noticed that everything—from historical photos and classic movie scenes to internet memes and recent political moments—has been reimagined on social media as Studio Ghibli-style portraits. The trend quickly went viral thanks to ChatGPT and the latest update of OpenAI’s chatbot, released on Tuesday, March 25.
The newest addition to GPT-4o has allowed users to replicate the distinctive artistic style of the legendary Japanese filmmaker and Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki (My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away). “Today is a great day on the internet,” one user declared while sharing popular memes in Ghibli format.
While the trend has captivated users worldwide, it has also highlighted ethical concerns about AI tools trained on copyrighted creative works—and what this means for the livelihoods of human artists.
Not that this concerns OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, which has actively encouraged the “Ghiblification”experiments. Its CEO, Sam Altman, even changed his profile picture on the social media platform X to a Ghibli-style portrait.
Miyazaki, now 84 years old, is known for his hand-drawn animation approach and whimsical storytelling. He has long expressed skepticism about AI’s role in animation. His past remarks on AI-generated animation have resurfaced and gone viral again, particularly when he once said he was “utterly disgusted” by an AI demonstration.
