For over seven million people in the US, #Alzheimer’s is a slow erasure of memory, identity and connection. As #pharmaceutical giants charge staggering prices for treatments that offer limited results with dangerous side effects, a potential breakthrough has emerged from Cuba, a country subjected to more than six decades of #US economic warfare.

Agi: Rubio affascinato dal soffitto della Grande Sala del Popolo diventa un meme [VIDEO]

AGI - Naso all’insù ammaliato dal soffitto della Grande Sala del Popolo e mani che gesticolano: è diventata un meme la reazione del segretario di Stato Usa, Marco Rubio, in visita a Pechino con Donald Trump. Nelle immagini si vede Rubio che alza lo sguardo ad ammirare il soffitto decorato all'interno della grande sala, durante i colloqui ad alto livello tra Donald Trump e Xi Jinping. Il Segretario di Stato indica e gesticola verso il soffitto mentre parla con il segretario alla Difesa, Pete Heghset. Il video è diventato subito virale e rimbalza sulla rete con commenti ironici. C’è chi immagina Rubio che ammira i lampadari e li propone per la contestata nuova sala da ballo voluta da Trump alla Casa Bianca.  E chi invece interpreta il gesto con “ma qui l’aria condizionata non c’è?”.
Di sicuro a Pechino Rubio ha cambiato pelle, e si è trasformato in Lubio. Solo con questo escamotage, pensato da Pechino, il segretario di Stato ha potuto prendere parte alla visita. Nel 2020, infatti, Rubio aveva criticato la repressione cinese della minoranza degli uiguri e di Hong Kong , dichiarazioni che gli avevano fatto ottenere un divieto di ingresso nel paese dal governo di Xi.

Rubio fascinated by the ceiling of the Great Hall of the People becomes a meme [VIDEO]

The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, has become a meme after his visit to Beijing with Donald Trump. In the images, Rubio is seen looking up in admiration at the decorated ceiling of the Great Hall of the People during high-level talks between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping. The Secretary of State gestures and points at the ceiling while speaking with Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth. The video quickly went viral and is bouncing around the internet with ironic comments. Some imagine Rubio admiring the chandeliers and proposing them for the controversial new ballroom desired by Trump at the White House. And others interpret the gesture with “but there’s no air conditioning here?”.

Certainly in Beijing, Rubio changed his appearance and transformed into “Lubio.” Only with this trick, devised by Beijing, was the Secretary of State able to participate in the visit. In 2020, Rubio had criticized China’s repression of the Uyghur minority and of Hong Kong, statements that had led to him being banned from entering the country by Xi’s government.

LA NOTIZIA: Alla Sapienza il Papa attacca la corsa alle armi. Resta il gelo con gli USA di Trump

Accolto dagli applausi degli studenti, questa mattina Papa Leone XIV si è recato all’Università Sapienza di Roma. Una visita molto attesa, durante la quale il Santo Padre, per nulla intimorito dalle critiche dell’amministrazione americana, che mal tollera i continui appelli alla pace in Medio Oriente, ha tenuto un lungo discorso senza fare alcun passo indietro, rinnovando il suo invito a far tacere le armi.
“Nell’ultimo anno la spesa militare nel mondo è cresciuta enormemente, soprattutto in Europa. Non si chiami difesa un riarmo che aumenta tensioni e insicurezze, che depaupera gli investimenti in educazione e sanità e che smentisce la fiducia nella diplomazia”. È quanto dichiarato dal Pontefice che, nel pieno del suo mandato, continua a promuovere il dialogo e a mettere in guardia il mondo intero dalla deriva bellicista degli ultimi tempi.

Secondo Leone XIV, “occorre vigilare sullo sviluppo e sull’applicazione dell’intelligenza artificiale in ambito militare e civile, affinché non aggravino ulteriormente la tragicità dei conflitti”. Proprio per questo, rivolgendosi agli studenti in festa, ha aggiunto: “L’invito che faccio a tutti voi è questo: lavoriamo insieme, siamo tutti costruttori di pace”.
“È dai rapporti tra amici, dalle parole e dal modo di pensare che può nascere la pace. Abbiate sempre fiducia nella possibilità di costruire un mondo nuovo”, ha concluso il Santo Padre.

At the Sapienza, the Pope attacks the arms race. The freeze remains with Trump’s USA.

Received with applause from the students, this morning Pope Leo XIV visited the Sapienza University of Rome. A very awaited visit, during which the Holy Father, unimpressed by the criticism of the American administration, which badly tolerates the continuous appeals for peace in the Middle East, delivered a lengthy speech without taking a step back, renewing his invitation to silence the arms.

“In the last year, military spending in the world has grown enormously, especially in Europe. What is called defense is not a rearmament that increases tensions and insecurities, depletes investment in education and healthcare, and denies confidence in diplomacy.” This is what the Pontiff declared, in the full of his term, continuing to promote dialogue and warning the whole world about the bellicistic drift of recent times.

At Sapienza, the Pope attacks the arms race. Remains the frost with the USA of Trump.

According to Leo XIV, “we must monitor the development and application of artificial intelligence in military and civilian areas, so that it does not further exacerbate the tragedy of conflicts.” Precisely for this reason, addressing the celebrating students, he added: “The invitation I make to all of you is this: let us work together, we are all builders of peace.”

“Peace is born from friendships, from words and from the way of thinking. Always have faith in the possibility of building a new world,” concluded the Holy Father.
