Panamá será sede del congreso internacional para personas con deficiencia auditiva
Concebido como un espacio seguro para el diálogo, la formación y el compromiso de avanzar hacia una sociedad más consciente, responsable y cercana a quienes han sufrido abuso, Panamá será sede, del 8 al 11 de julio, del congreso internacional de las personas sordas.
En el país hay 11,323 personas con deficiencia auditiva, según la Segunda Encuesta Nacional de Discapacidad, realizada en el primer trimestre de 2024, después de 18 años sin tener información actualizada.
Solo en 2025 el Instituto Panameño de Habilitación Especial (IPHE) atendió a 18,319 estudiantes con esta condición.
La discapacidad auditiva se define como la pérdida o anormalidad de la función anatómica y/o fisiológica del sistema auditivo, y tiene su consecuencia inmediata en una discapacidad para oír, lo que implica un déficit en el acceso al lenguaje oral.
Se informó que el congreso busca ofrecer un espacio de escucha y reflexión sobre la realidad que viven las personas sordas víctimas de abuso.
De igual manera, tiene como finalidad fortalecer la formación en materia de prevención, protección de menores y adultos vulnerables, y promoción de entornos seguros dentro de nuestras comunidades eclesiales, dijo monseñor José Domingo Ulloa Mendieta, arzobispo de Panamá, presidente de la Conferencia Episcopal Panameña y segundo vicepresidente del CELAM.
La convención reunirá a especialistas internacionales, agentes pastorales y personas sordas de diversos países de América, con el propósito de sensibilizar sobre los desafíos particulares que enfrenta esta población y promover una cultura de cuidado, respeto, inclusión y protección.
El “Abuso sexual en la Iglesia: su historia y realidad actual. Como se relaciona y afecta a la comunidad sorda”; “El caso Próvolo: ejemplo de modelo interdisciplinario para responder al desafío del abuso en la comunidad sorda en Argentina”; “Perspectiva global: cómo la Iglesia comenzó a escuchar las voces de quienes han sido abusados”, serán algunos de los temas a tratar durante la actividad.
El encuentro es organizado por la Iniciativa de los Jóvenes Católicos Sordos de América (DCYIA, por sus sus siglas en inglés), en colaboración con la Pontificia Comisión para la Protección del Menor, de la Santa Sede; el Centro de Investigación y Formación Interdisciplinar para la Protección del Menor, el Consejo Episcopal Latinoamericano y Caribeño (CELAM) y la Arquidiócesis de Panamá.
En Panamá la Ley N°1 del 28 de enero de 1992 protege a las personas con discapacidad auditiva y reconoce la lengua de señas como la lengua natural del discapacitado auditivo profundo.
Esta es una herramienta fundamental de inclusión, y la norma reafirma la importancia de promover una cultura institucional basada en el respeto, la accesibilidad y la equiparación de oportunidades.
Ratificada por Panama, la Convención Internacional sobre los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad establece en su artículo 21 el derecho a la libertad de expresión y acceso a la información, incluyendo el uso de la lengua de señas como medio de comunicación.
En esa línea, la política nacional de discapacidad de Panamá promueve la eliminación de barreras comunicativas y la plena participación de las personas sordas en todos los ámbitos de la sociedad, de acuerdo con el IPHE.
La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) indica que a nivel mundial más de 1.500 millones de personas presentan algún grado de pérdida auditiva, de las cuales aproximadamente 430 millones tienen pérdida auditiva de moderada a grave en el oído con mejor audición.
En América, alrededor de 217 millones de personas viven con pérdida auditiva, cifra que se espera aumente a 322 millones para 2050. Las estimaciones de la OMS proyectan que 700 millones necesitarán atención otológica y servicios de rehabilitación si no se toman medidas preventivas.

Iran’s unprecedented ‘whole-regime’ delegation at US deal talks signals one goal: expert
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The scope of the Iranian delegation at Switzerland’s first round of technical talks with the United States on Sunday underscored what an analyst described as Tehran’s red-line demand for «immediate cash flow» and significant financial concessions from the get-go.
The team’s arrival at Bürgenstock came within days of a breakthrough memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed by President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and after follow-up talks were called off, fueling uncertainty across the region.
«These are the most consequential negotiations America has entered in the Middle East in years. Iran knows that, and it is playing it very well,» counterterrorism expert Dr. Omar Mohammed told Fox News Digital.
«Tehran arrived as if this were the moment to collect,» Mohammed, director of the Program on Extremism at George Washington University, said.
TRUMP’S IRAN AGREEMENT RAISES A BASIC QUESTION: IS IT ACTUALLY A DEAL?

Iranian state media also confirmed that Tehran had sent a whole-regime apparatus, led by chief negotiator Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
Their team includes top security, legal and financial figures, including Abdolnaser Hemmati, governor of the Central Bank of Iran, leading the economic committee; Ali Bagheri Kani, deputy secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council; Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s deputy foreign minister handling legal affairs; as well as senior state oil and energy officials.
Mohammed noted that Iran purposely bypassed a narrow, diplomatic-only team to protect its domestic leverage.
«Iran has not only sent diplomats; it has sent the foreign ministry, the security state, the central bank, legal affairs and oil,» he explained. «This is a whole-regime delegation built around implementation, money, leverage and red lines.»
Araghchi, Mohammed said, is the diplomatic face, while Bagheri Kani brings the Supreme National Security Council into the room, meaning the security establishment is overseeing the process and «protecting the regime’s red lines.»
The inclusion of Iran’s top financial and energy officials also sends the clearest signal of Tehran’s primary objective: immediate cash flow, «energy leverage» and control of maritime operations, the expert said.

«Hemmati’s presence on Sunday was one of the clearest signals. You do not send the central bank governor to a symbolic meeting. You send him when the question is money: frozen assets, sanctions relief, banking channels, usable currency and how quickly Iran can turn promises on paper into cash it can actually spend,» Mohammed said.
«The oil official is another major signal. If oil is in the room, Hormuz is in the room. For an American policymaker, that means maritime security and energy leverage.»
Gharibabadi’s presence, Mohammed said, pointed directly to a legal battlefield over verification and language, perhaps designed to ensure Iran can bypass future enforcement.
The U.S. delegation, which includes Vice President JD Vance, is anchored by U.S. Special Envoy for Peace Missions Steve Witkoff and former senior White House adviser Jared Kushner.
Vance had indicated that Washington was hopeful it could make progress on both the nuclear issue and the escalating Lebanon ceasefire crisis while in Switzerland.
On Sunday, he said Trump had asked to turn over «a new leaf» to transform the U.S. relationship with Iran and that the talks starting in Switzerland would allow both sides to work to resolve issues.

In contrast, according to Iran International, hardline lawmaker Mahmoud Nabavian read excerpts he described as top-secret letters from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei on Iranian state TV.
He alleged the leader opposed nuclear talks, demanded compensation from Washington and insisted on Iran’s control of the Strait of Hormuz before the live program was cut.
Now, the differing composition of the two teams underscores the starkly different approaches both nations are bringing to the table, Mohammed said.
«Iran is not only negotiating substance, but negotiating the terms under which it can later avoid pressure,» Mohammed warned. «If the money comes first and the concessions come later, Tehran will not interpret that as compromise. It will interpret it as victory.»
«If Washington gives Iran cash, oil access and legal protection while Iran keeps Hormuz, proxies, missiles and nuclear options alive, then America has not bought peace. It has financed Iran’s next phase,» Mohammed suggested.

«This delegation is not designed to end Iran’s leverage. It is designed to collect the benefits of the pause, preserve the regime’s pressure points and carry them into the next round.»
On Sunday, talks between Iran and the U.S. were paused but not ended, Reuters reported.

Autoridades de salud aplican más de 150 mil dosis para prevenir casos de sarampión en Panamá
Panamá continúa libre de sarampión autóctono y los tres casos detectados hasta el momento corresponden a casos importados que fueron identificados y manejados oportunamente por el sistema nacional de vigilancia epidemiológica.
Para seguir manteniendo el país libre de la enfermedad el sistema de salud ha aplicado en lo que va del año más de 150 mil dosis de vacuna contra el sarampión en todo el territorio nacional.
El país recibió su certificación oficial de eliminación del sarampión en 2016 y no registra casos autóctonos desde 1995.
En el 2011 se controlaron cuatro casos importados procedentes de Polonia, sin que se produjera una transmisión comunitaria.
Actualmente se mantiene activa la vigilancia epidemiológica en los puertos de entrada al país ante el retorno de viajeros procedentes del extranjero, permitiendo la detección temprana de personas con síntomas compatibles con enfermedades transmisibles.
El incremento en la cobertura de vacunación, a través del Programa Ampliado de Inmunización (PAI), responde al compromiso de la población con la prevención y al fortalecimiento de las jornadas de inmunización desarrolladas por el Ministerio de Salud (Minsa) en todas las regiones de salud, aseguró Yelkys Gill, directora general de Salud Pública.
“Invitamos a toda la población a revisar su tarjeta de vacunación y acudir a la instalación de salud más cercana para completar su esquema. Las vacunas son seguras, gratuitas y constituyen la principal herramienta para prevenir enfermedades transmisibles”, manifestó Gill.
Adelantó que el esquema nacional de vacunación protege contra diversas enfermedades, entre ellas sarampión, influenza, neumococo y virus sincitial respiratorio, contribuyendo a reducir complicaciones y hospitalizaciones, especialmente en los grupos más vulnerables.
De los tres casos de sarampión importados, se detectó que una persona con esquema de vacunación expuesta al virus desarrolló un cuadro de «sarampión modificado“, una variante con síntomas leves y con una capacidad de transmisión drásticamente reducida.
Esta condición clínica se presenta en casos muy específicos como una exposición masiva al virus en personas que ya cuentan con sus dosis, explicó Catherine Castillo, técnica de vigilancia epidemiológica y enfermedades prevenibles por vacunas del Departamento Nacional de Epidemiología del Minsa.
A diferencia del sarampión clásico, el modificado se caracteriza por una carga viral mucho menor, menor fiebre y un sarpullido atenuado, evitando por completo complicaciones graves como la neumonía o afecciones cerebrales.
En cuanto a las enfermedades transmitidas por vectores, se informó que se continúa fortaleciendo las acciones de prevención y control contra la malaria, mediante la vigilancia epidemiológica, búsqueda activa de casos, diagnóstico oportuno y el trabajo conjunto con las comunidades.
“En malaria hemos logrado mantener una tendencia hacia la disminución gracias al esfuerzo de los equipos regionales de salud, que continúan realizando intervenciones, seguimiento de casos y acciones de prevención en las áreas de mayor riesgo”, señaló la directora general de Salud Pública.
De acuerdo con los reportes correspondientes a la última semana epidemiológica, el Ministerio de Salud informó que los casos de dengue registran una reducción cercana al 50 % en comparación con el mismo periodo del año anterior, mientras que la malaria mantiene una tendencia a la baja.
Las autoridades de salud reiteran el llamado a la población a mantener las medidas preventivas, acudir oportunamente a los servicios de salud ante la presencia de síntomas y mantener actualizado su esquema de vacunación para proteger su salud y la de sus familias.
La Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS) reveló que hasta la semana epidemiológica que finalizó el 13 de junio la región de las Américas notificó 22.324 casos confirmados de sarampión en 17 países y territorios, incluyendo 38 muertes, lo que representa un aumento del 207% en comparación con el mismo período del 2025.

College sports sees pivotal moment as Senate looks to move legislation on NIL, transfers across goal line
Senate stepping in to regulate college sports
The Senate is actively preparing to debate a bipartisan bill that could significantly alter the landscape of intercollegiate sports. Lawmakers aim to create national standards for Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) money and curb roster chaos from transfers. Senators Cruz, Cantwell, Baldwin, and Booker discuss the necessity of federal intervention due to perceived failures of the NCAA.
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Congress could determine the future of college sports.
Thursday was a seminal day as to whether Congress can either salvage – or potentially ruin – intercollegiate athletics. It’s a congressional Hail Mary as senators address name, image and likeness (NIL) deals for athletes, compensation packages and transfers between schools.
«College sports is in crisis,» declared Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Ted Cruz, R-Texas.
«There’s a sense of urgency in that room you can feel it, right? You’ve got to do something rapidly,» said Sen. John Hickenlooper, D-Colo.

The Commerce Committee approved a bipartisan gameplan to fundamentally alter college sports. The full Senate plans to debate the bill in July.
«We have put something on the table that’s going to bring more certainty and predictability to the system,» said Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., the top Democrat on the panel.
Establishing a nationwide payout framework is a key aspect of the deal. Lawmakers know that inaction could mean that monied, major programs will simply outbid smaller schools. Perhaps even for a future NFL MVP.
«I’m worried that we’ll never see a Josh Allen again at the University of Wyoming,» said Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., referring to the Buffalo Bills standout quarterback. «It leaves those of us who don’t really have a donor base [to struggle to] pay for players of that caliber.»
The bill also restricts athletes to one transfer between schools during a five-year period without a penalty.
«Now we have this unbelievable number of players that get in the (transfer) portal every year and we have nothing to control the agents,» said former Alabama head football coach Nick Saban to a Senate panel earlier this month.

Lawmakers believe this plan will curb the constant roster chaos.
Advocates of the legislation believe it protects student-athletes.
«It definitely makes sure that predatory contracting done by agents or universities or conferences or shill organizations, don’t get students stuck in binding arbitration,» said Cantwell.
Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., is the only former Division I college athlete in the Senate. He played tight end for Stanford’s football team. Booker opposes the bill.

«I’ve seen decade after decade, how the NCAA has screwed athletes. And so we need to make sure there’s firm athletic protections and not trust the NCAA to do it,» said Booker.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., is the only former Division I football head coach in the Senate. He led programs at Auburn, Ole Miss, Texas Tech and Cincinnati. He joins Booker in condemning the legislation.
«They’re trying to turn college sports into the same situation we got in with Obamacare,» said Tuberville on Fox News Radio. «We can’t get the federal government involved in college sports.»
During a floor speech, Tuberville argued that «Congress should not decide how much money student athletes can earn.»
Yet Tuberville conceded that «college sports is facing a five-alarm fire. It’s getting ready to be over with as we know it.»
That’s why Cruz believes Congress should intervene.
«If the alternative is do nothing and allow chaos to continue in college sports to be destroyed, I think that alternative is unacceptable,» said Cruz.
Congress struggles to do lots of things right. That’s why some observers doubt that Congress is a good substitute for the NCAA.
Matt Mackowiak is a former GOP Senate aide who’s written about Brendan Sorsby, his gambling scandal and the saga involving Texas Tech megabooster Cody Campbell. Big money lured Sorsby to the school for a hot minute. Mackowiak says the Cruz/Cantwell bill fails to prevent another Sorsby situation. But Mackowiak’s biggest concern is congressional willingness to undercut the NCAA.
«I don’t know why you need to create some new system and make it overly complicated. You have a governing body. They haven’t had a lot of teeth in their enforcement in recent years.»
Some of that is because super conferences like the Big Ten and SEC wield more power than the NCAA. Notably, neither of those conferences endorsed the Senate bill. But it was the NCAA which demanded congressional intervention. The NCAA has told lawmakers it can’t address NIL on its own and pushed for a national standard set by Capitol Hill.
But Booker isn’t enamored with the NCAA.
«The NCAA, which can’t be trusted, has shown decade after decade, (of) failing college athletes,» he said.
There’s concern the bill could undercut current sports broadcasters by diversifying the number of streamers and outlets carrying games. That could complicate viewing. Additional options aren’t necessarily good for fans if they struggle to find their games.
«Then the fans get hurt because all the content is behind a paywall,» said Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.
«I suspect everyone in this room has heard about frustrations from their constituents in trying to watch their favorite professional sports teams play. They are met with blackouts and paywalls,» said Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis.
The House of Representatives stumbled in two previous efforts to regulate college sports. The House Republican leadership had to yank completely different college sports regulation bills off the floor in December and this spring because they lacked the votes. So, now it’s the Senate’s turn to try.
There are lots of questions about whether the Senate, like the House, can command the votes for this bill. Moreover, what bandwidth does the Senate even have for serious legislating in July? The Senate is trying to figure out what’s next about the nomination of Jay Clayton to serve as director of national intelligence. The future of FISA Section 702 – the nation’s top program to fight terrorism – is up in the air after authorization expired a few weeks ago. And some Republicans are optimistic the Senate can advance a third «reconciliation package» to pay for the war in Iran, cut taxes and reduce fraud.
It would seem that those priorities might outweigh something on college sports.

But as Cruz and Tuberville both say, the situation in college sports is dire. There’s worry that the SEC and/or Big Ten might form a mega conference. Or develop their own broadcast platforms for games. And there may be a lot more Brendan Sorsbys as gaming becomes more ubiquitous.
None of this is going to get any better.
