Murió un trabajador rescatado tras el colapso parcial de una torre medieval de Roma

El trabajador Octay Stroici, de 66 años y nacionalidad rumana, murió el martes tras ser rescatado de los escombros de la Torre dei Conti, una estructura medieval del centro histórico de Roma que colapsó parcialmente el lunes durante labores de restauración, informaron medios italianos citando fuentes médicas.
Según el hospital Umberto I, donde Stroici fue ingresado en condición crítica, el hombre llegó con paro cardiorrespiratorio. “Se realizaron maniobras de reanimación durante más de una hora. Pese a esto, la actividad cardíaca espontánea no pudo ser restaurada”, indicó el centro médico en un comunicado citado por la agencia Ansa, que agregó que su muerte fue declarada a las 00H20 (23H20 GMT del lunes).
El colapso, ocurrido poco después de las 11:30 de la mañana del lunes, provocó una densa nube de polvo blanco y escombros que cubrieron las calles aledañas. La Torre dei Conti, edificada a inicios del siglo XIII y situada entre el Coliseo y el Foro Imperial, se encontraba en proceso de restauración con fondos de la Unión Europea.
De acuerdo con los servicios de emergencia, en el momento del accidente nueve obreros trabajaban dentro de la estructura. Cuatro lograron ser evacuados, uno permanece hospitalizado en estado crítico y Stroici quedó atrapado bajo los restos hasta ser rescatado cerca de las 23:00, tras más de once horas de trabajos ininterrumpidos de los bomberos.
El Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de Rumania confirmó que Stroici se mantuvo consciente durante gran parte del operativo. Más de 140 efectivos de bomberos y socorristas participaron en la operación, que incluyó el uso de grúas y drones para inspeccionar el interior de la torre y evaluar la estabilidad del edificio.
Durante las labores de rescate, un segundo colapso parcial ocurrió alrededor de las 13:00, lo que obligó a los equipos a replegarse temporalmente. Ningún rescatista resultó herido, informaron las autoridades.
El alcalde de Roma, Roberto Gualtieri, acudió al lugar junto al ministro de Cultura, Alessandro Giuli, y el prefecto de la ciudad, Lamberto Giannini, quienes supervisaron el operativo y expresaron su reconocimiento a los equipos de emergencia. Gualtieri señaló que “todos esperamos que se recupere”, en referencia a las víctimas que permanecían hospitalizadas, y subrayó la necesidad de reforzar los controles de seguridad en las obras de restauración.
Uno de los trabajadores evacuados, Ottaviano, de 67 años, relató cómo escapó del derrumbe. “No era seguro. Solo quiero irme a casa”, declaró cubierto de polvo y visiblemente conmocionado.
La Fiscalía de Roma y la Inspección de Trabajo abrieron una investigación para determinar si existieron negligencias en la planificación y ejecución de los trabajos. Los investigadores buscan establecer si se aplicaron correctamente los protocolos de seguridad y las normas de conservación del patrimonio histórico durante la intervención en la torre.
La zona permanece acordonada por los Carabineros, con restricciones de acceso para peatones y vehículos mientras técnicos e ingenieros evalúan los daños estructurales.
El accidente generó preocupación sobre el estado de conservación de los monumentos históricos de Roma y la seguridad en las obras financiadas por la Unión Europea. La Torre dei Conti, que perteneció a la poderosa familia Conti di Segni, había permanecido cerrada al público durante décadas por riesgo de derrumbe antes de iniciarse su restauración hace más de un año.

El Ayuntamiento de Roma y la Superintendencia de Bienes Culturales anunciaron que los trabajos en la torre quedarán suspendidos hasta nuevo aviso. Se realizará una revisión completa del proyecto de restauración con el objetivo de garantizar la seguridad de los trabajadores y preservar el valor histórico del edificio.

Trump says he plans to order federal ban on Anthropic AI after company refuses Pentagon demands

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump on Friday said he was ordering every federal government agency to stop using Athropic AI immediately.
«THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS! That decision belongs to YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, and the tremendous leaders I appoint to run our Military,» Trump began in a lengthy Truth Social post Friday afternoon.
He added, «The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War, and force them to obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution. Their selfishness is putting AMERICAN LIVES at risk, our Troops in danger, and our National Security in JEOPARDY.»
The president said he would immediately direct every federal agency to stop using Anthropic technology.

«We don’t need it, we don’t want it, and will not do business with them again!» he continued.
There will be a six-month phase out period for agencies such as the Department of War, he added.
«Anthropic better get their act together, and be helpful during this phase out period, or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow,» he wrote.
He continued, «WE will decide the fate of our Country — NOT some out-of-control, Radical Left AI company run by people who have no idea what the real World is all about.»
Earlier this week, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei refused demands from the Department of War to use its artificial intelligence for «all lawful purposes,» but Amodei said no, concerned over the possibility it could be used for «mass domestic surveillance» or «fully autonomous weapons.»

«The Department of War has stated they will only contract with AI companies who accede to ‘any lawful use’ and remove safeguards in the cases mentioned above. They have threatened to remove us from their systems if we maintain these safeguards; they have also threatened to designate us a ‘supply chain risk’ — a label reserved for US adversaries, never before applied to an American company — and to invoke the Defense Production Act to force the safeguards’ removal,» Amodei said in a Thursday statement.
He declared that the «threats do not change our position: we cannot in good conscience accede to their request.»
Assistant to the Secretary of War for Public Affairs Sean Parnell declared in a post on X that the department does not want to engage in either of those activities but is asking to use Anthropic’s AI for all legal purposes.
«The Department of War has no interest in using AI to conduct mass surveillance of Americans (which is illegal) nor do we want to use AI to develop autonomous weapons that operate without human involvement,» Parnell said in the post. «Here’s what we’re asking: Allow the Pentagon to use Anthropic’s model for all lawful purposes.»
«This is a simple, common-sense request that will prevent Anthropic from jeopardizing critical military operations and potentially putting our warfighters at risk. We will not let ANY company dictate the terms regarding how we make operational decisions. They have until 5:01 PM ET on Friday to decide. Otherwise, we will terminate our partnership with Anthropic and deem them a supply chain risk for DOW,» he noted.

Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering Emil Michael accused Anthropic and Amodei of lying.
In a post on X, Michael called Amodei «a liar» who «has a God-complex.»
«He wants nothing more than to try to personally control the US Military and is ok putting our nation’s safety at risk. The @DeptofWar will ALWAYS adhere to the law but not bend to whims of any one for-profit tech company,» he asserted.
In another post he asserted, «Anthropic is lying. The @DeptofWar doesn’t do mass surveillance as that is already illegal. What we are talking about is allowing our warfighters to use AI without having to call @DarioAmodei for permission to shoot down an enemy drone swarms that would kill Americans.»

«It is the Department’s prerogative to select contractors most aligned with their vision. But given the substantial value that Anthropic’s technology provides to our armed forces, we hope they reconsider,» Amodei said in a statement sent on Thursday to Fox News Digital. «Our strong preference is to continue to serve the Department and our warfighters — with our two requested safeguards in place. Should the Department choose to offboard Anthropic, we will work to enable a smooth transition to another provider, avoiding any disruption to ongoing military planning, operations, or other critical missions. Our models will be available on the expansive terms we have proposed for as long as required.»
«We remain ready to continue our work to support the national security of the United States,» he added.

UN Human Rights Council chief cuts off speaker criticizing US-sanctioned official

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) abruptly cut off a video statement after the speaker began criticizing several United Nations officials, including one who has been sanctioned by the Trump administration. The video message was being played during a U.N. session in Geneva, Switzerland, Friday morning.
Anne Bayefsky, director of the Touro Institute on Human Rights and the and president of Human Rights, called out several U.N. officials in her message, including U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk and special rapporteur Francesca Albanese, who is the subject of U.S. sanctions.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced sanctions against Albanese July 9, 2025, saying that she «has spewed unabashed antisemitism, expressed support for terrorism and open contempt for the United States, Israel and the West.»
«That bias has been apparent across the span of her career, including recommending that the ICC, without a legitimate basis, issue arrest warrants targeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant,» Rubio added.

«I was the only American U.N.-accredited NGO with a speaking slot, and I wasn’t allowed even to conclude my 90 seconds of allotted time. Free speech is non-existent at the U.N. so-called ‘Human Rights Council,’» Bayefsky told Fox News Digital.
Bayefsky noted the irony of the council cutting off her video in a proceeding that was said to be an «interactive dialogue,» an event during which experts are allowed to speak to the council about human rights issues.
«I was cut off after naming Francesca Albanese, Navi Pillay and Chris Sidoti for covering up Palestinian use of rape as a weapon of war and trafficking in blatant antisemitism. I named the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, who is facing disturbing sexual assault allegations but still unaccountable almost two years later. Those are the people and the facts that the United Nations wants to protect and hide,» Bayefsky told Fox News Digital.
«It is an outrage that I am silenced and singled out for criticism on the basis of naming names.»
Bayefsky’s statement was cut off as she accused Albanese and Navi Pillay, the former chair of the U.N. Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory; and Chris Sidoti, a commissioner of the U.N. Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory. She also slammed Khan, who has faced rape allegations. Khan has denied the sexual misconduct allegations against him.
Had her video message been played in full, Bayefsky would have gone on to criticize Türk’s recent report for not demanding accountability for the atrocities committed by Hamas Oct. 7, 2023.
When the video was cut short, Human Rights Council President Ambassador Sidharto Reza Suryodipuro characterized Bayefsky’s remarks as «derogatory, insulting and inflammatory» and said that they were «not acceptable.»
«The language used by the speaker cannot be allowed as it has exceeded the limits of tolerance and respect within the framework of the council which we all in this room hold to,» Suryodipuro said.

MELANIA TRUMP TO TAKE THE GAVEL AT UN SECURITY COUNCIL IN HISTORIC FIRST
In response to Fox News Digital’s request for comment, Human Rights Council Media Officer Pascal Sim said the council has had long-established rules on what it considers to be acceptable language.
«Rulings regarding the form and language of interventions in the Human Rights Council are established practices that have been in place throughout the existence of the council and used by all council presidents when it comes to ensuring respect, tolerance and dignity inherent to the discussion of human rights issues,» Sim told Fox News Digital.
When asked if the video had been reviewed ahead of time, Sim said it was assessed for length and audio quality to allow for interpretation, but that the speakers are ultimately «responsible for the content of their statement.»
«The video statement by the NGO ‘Touro Law Center, The Institute on Human Rights and The Holocaust’ was interrupted when it was deemed that the language exceeded the limits of tolerance and respect within the framework of the council and could not be tolerated,» Sim said.
«As the presiding officer explained at the time, all speakers are to remain within the appropriate framework and terminology used in the council’s work, which is well known by speakers who routinely participate in council proceedings. Following that ruling, none of the member states of the council have objected to it.»

UNRWA OFFICIALS LOBBY CONGRESSIONAL STAFFERS AGAINST TRUMP TERRORIST DESIGNATION THREAT
While Bayefsky’s statement was cut off, other statements accusing Israel of genocide and ethnic cleansing were allowed to be played and read in full.
This is not the first time that Bayefsky was interrupted. Exactly one year ago, on Feb. 27, 2025, her video was cut off when she mentioned the fate of Ariel and Kfir Bibas. Jürg Lauber, president of the U.N. Human Rights Council at the time, stopped the video and declared that Bayefsky had used inappropriate language.
Bayefsky began the speech by saying, «The world now knows Palestinian savages murdered 9-month-old baby Kfir,» and she ws almost immediately cut off by Lauber.

«Sorry, I have to interrupt,» Lauber abruptly said as the video of Bayefsky was paused. Lauber briefly objected to the «language» used in the video, but then allowed it to continue. After a few more seconds, the video was shut off entirely.
Lauber reiterated that «the language that’s used by the speaker cannot be tolerated,» adding that it «exceeds clearly the limits of tolerance and respect.»
Last year, when the previous incident occurred, Bayefsky said she believed the whole thing was «stage-managed,» as the council had advanced access to her video and a transcript and knew what she would say.
