Lima, Peru CNN —A lighting strike during a local league soccer match in central Peru killed one player and injured four others on Sunday. Several players were seen falling face first to the ground as lightning struck the field. Almost 90% of all lightning strike victims survive, according to the CDC, but the effects can be serious and long-lasting. In 2020, a 16-year-old Russian goalkeeper survived a lightning strike during a training session. Though he suffered severe burns and doctors put him into an induced coma, the teenager made a remarkable recovery weeks later.

You only need to save my phone number," the AI responded in Spanish — before sharing my phone number. Someone in this WhatsApp group had asked Meta AI for its phone number — and again it shared my number. It had replied that it did, and Maxi simply had to message a phone number — my phone number — to access the content. Since I asked Meta's communications team for help, I haven't received any more messages from people looking for Meta AI. Another time, Meta AI said it didn't have a phone number (it actually does, +1 313-555-0002, although it doesn't advertise it publicly).

Iran and Israel have fought a deadly shadow war for decades. The two enemies have relied on proxy forces, assassinations, and strikes abroad to hit each other. AdvertisementA decades-long shadow war between Iran and Israel has been thrust into broad daylight. Iran's unprecedented attack on Israel last weekend has notably changed the dynamics of this conflict, and it's now more dangerous. Any Israeli military response to the attack risks an all-out confrontation with Iran and could plunge the region into even more violence.

Hermoso gave her testimony on Tuesday and the complaint will be processed "as soon as possible", the prosecutor added. With the complaint, Rubiales could face criminal charges in addition to the ongoing inquiry by Spain's top sport court for "serious misconduct" and an investigation by world soccer governing body FIFA, which has provisionally suspended Rubiales from office for 90 days. Hermoso said she did not want to be kissed, and that she felt "vulnerable and a victim of an aggression". Rubiales, who has so far refused to resign despite heavy pressure, said the kiss was "spontaneous, mutual, euphoric and consensual". There are people who have to decide whether there is an offender and a victim," Carvajal said on Tuesday.

The site praised Sanchez's closeness to Morocco "although many Spanish politicians reproach him for it", contrasting his stance to that of his political rivals in Madrid.
