Five fishermen missing since mid-March were rescued at sea last week, surviving 55 days adrift in the Pacific Ocean by drinking rain and seawater, the Ecuadorian navy said.

The three Peruvian and two Colombian fishermen were found on May 7 by an Ecuadorian tuna boat called Aldo. The navy said the fishermen had reported damage to their boat’s alternator two days after setting sail from Pucusana Bay, south of Peru’s capital Lima.

Ecuadorian navy Frigate Capt. Maria Fares told The Associated Press that the equipment failure caused communication and navigation tools to malfunction.

«They had no starter, lights and everything that a battery generates,» she said. To survive, they had to «take rusted water out of the engine (and) when a fish passed by, they caught it and parboiled it to eat.» 

Fares added that they also drank rain and seawater to survive.

Trump-Kennedy Center leadership said a dark substance was poured onto the ice surface, severely damaging the outdoor arena.

Leadership said the incident was not a protest but an act of outright vandalism targeting the Trump-Kennedy Center.

«Today, a targeted attack on the Trump Kennedy Center vandalized and destroyed our outdoor arena, causing severe damage that we unfortunately must cancel tonight’s performance, but we are working feverishly to complete repairs so programming can resume tomorrow,» Roma Daravi, vice president of public relations for the Trump-Kennedy Center, said in a statement to Fox News Digital. «We have turned over video footage to the authorities who are investigating this calculated, malicious attack and hold those responsible accountable.»

Leadership added that violence «will not be tolerated» at the Trump-Kennedy Center and said those responsible would be held accountable.

Trump-Kennedy Center officials said a brown-black substance was poured across the ice early Friday morning. Images from the scene show the material spread widely across the rink, with what appears to be a gallon-sized milk container visible on the ice.

Leadership at the venue said the substance was «toxic.» The exact chemical has not yet been publicly identified.

The vandalism forced the cancellation of a scheduled performance at the Trump-Kennedy Center by Montreal-based skating company Le Patin Libre.

The incident comes amid a broader transformation of the Trump-Kennedy Center following a leadership overhaul and significant funding secured for long-deferred infrastructure improvements.

The board of trustees voted unanimously in December 2025 to rename the facility «The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.»

Fox News Digital previously reported that the Center plans a temporary closure beginning July 4 for an extensive restoration and modernization project. Leadership has cited roughly $250 million in deferred maintenance and aging infrastructure accumulated over decades.

Congress appropriated $257 million for renovation work in Trump’s «One, Big, Beautiful Bill» and officials have described the project as critical to stabilizing and preserving the nation’s premier performing arts institution for future generations.

The complex, which opened in 1971, has faced years of financial strain and structural deterioration before new funding was secured.

Daravi said the institution intends to pursue accountability for the damage and restore the outdoor arena as quickly as possible, so programming can continue as scheduled.

Neither a suspect nor a motive have been publicly identified by either the Trump-Kennedy Center or authorities.

Authorities are continuing to investigate the incident as the Trump-Kennedy Center works to restore the damaged outdoor arena and resume scheduled programming.

Así cayó el príncipe Andrés: su vínculo con Epstein, títulos reales perdidos y un arresto histórico

Published

on


El 19 de febrero de 2026 marcó un hito inédito para la realeza británica: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor —hasta hace poco el príncipe Andrés— fue detenido por la policía por presunta conducta indebida en el ejercicio de un cargo público.

La investigación sostiene que habría compartido información oficial con el fallecido financista y abusador sexual Jeffrey Epstein cuando actuaba como enviado comercial del Reino Unido.

La detención ocurrió en su residencia del complejo real de Sandringham y las autoridades allanaron propiedades vinculadas a él. El caso es histórico: se trata del primer arresto de un miembro de la familia real en siglos y amenaza con abrir una crisis institucional para la Casa de Windsor.

El propio rey Carlos III se distanció rápidamente del escándalo y dejó una frase que resonó en el Reino Unido: “La ley debe seguir su curso”.

El origen: el vínculo con Epstein

La detención no es un hecho aislado. Es el punto culminante de una historia que comenzó hace más de veinte años.

La estadounidense Virginia Giuffre denunció en el año 2001 que fue obligada a mantener relaciones sexuales con Andrés cuando era menor de edad tras ser captada por la red de Epstein.

El príncipe siempre negó las acusaciones, pero en 2022 aceptó un acuerdo extrajudicial millonario que incluyó una donación a la fundación de la denunciante y un reconocimiento de que Epstein traficó jóvenes durante años.

La investigación judicial nunca cerró del todo la polémica. Documentos posteriores volvieron a difundir acusaciones de abuso ocurridos en 2001, reactivando el escándalo global.

El abogado penalista británico Mark Ellison —consultado por la BBC en investigaciones similares— explicó que estos casos “no dependen solo del delito sexual sino del abuso de poder institucional”, algo que amplía enormemente la gravedad jurídica.

El derrumbe institucional

El impacto para la monarquía fue devastador y progresivo. Primero, en 2019, tras una entrevista televisiva considerada catastrófica, Andrés debió retirarse de la vida pública. Luego perdió funciones oficiales y honores militares.

En 2025 llegó el golpe definitivo: Carlos III ordenó quitarle títulos, tratamiento real y patronazgos, por lo que dejó de ser formalmente “príncipe”.

Para la historiadora constitucional Anna Whitelock, especialista en monarquía británica, “es la mayor desmonarquización de un royal moderno: pasó de figura estatal a ciudadano investigado”.

Aun así, el escándalo continuó creciendo.

En 2026, documentos judiciales estadounidenses mostraron que Andrés habría mantenido contacto con Epstein después de lo admitido públicamente y, además, compartido reportes oficiales de viajes comerciales del gobierno británico.

Los investigadores creen que esos datos pudieron beneficiar negocios del financista. El delito investigado —misconduct in public office— exige probar abuso deliberado de la confianza pública, algo que puede implicar prisión efectiva.

Para el experto en derecho público David Allen Green “no es un escándalo moral sino constitucional: implica usar el Estado en favor de un particular”.

Además, la policía analiza denuncias de tráfico sexual vinculadas a la red Epstein durante los años en que Andrés ejercía funciones diplomáticas.

Un problema para la Corona

El caso golpea directamente la legitimidad de la monarquía. Una encuesta citada tras el arresto mostró una caída del apoyo público a la institución, especialmente entre jóvenes.

Durante años el Palacio intentó aislarlo para proteger la imagen real. Sin embargo, la sucesión de revelaciones —desde correos hasta testimonios judiciales— volvió imposible separar la figura personal del sistema institucional.

Para la socióloga británica Pauline Maclaran, especialista en cultura real: “El problema no es solo Andrew: es la percepción de privilegio y de impunidad”.

La trayectoria del duque de York es una de las caídas más abruptas de la historia moderna de la realeza. Pasó de ser héroe militar en la guerra de Malvinas, el embajador comercial del Reino Unido y una figura prominente de la Corona a estar en el centro de la polémica acusado de cometer delitos sexuales e institucionales.

Con todo, que haya permanecido detenido no implica condena. La fiscalía aún debe decidir si presenta cargos formales. Pero el daño político ya es profundo: la monarquía británica enfrenta uno de sus mayores desafíos contemporáneos.

Más que un escándalo personal, el caso del príncipe Andrés se convirtió en una discusión global sobre poder, privilegios y responsabilidad. Y por primera vez en siglos, la pregunta ya no es si un royal puede caer en desgracia, sino si puede terminar en la cárcel.
