(CNN) — Después de mucha expectación y un aluvión de críticas, “Super Mario Bros. La película” ya está en los cines. Este miércoles se estrenó con Chris Pratt en el papel del fontanero que viaja por las tuberías de la clásica franquicia de videojuegos de Nintendo.Desde que se anunció el casting de Pratt en septiembre de 2021, hubo cierta disconformidad en Internet, principalmente por parte de los puristas de los videojuegos, que consideraban que la voz oficial de Mario en los juegos –proporcionada por el actor Charles Martinet– debería haber sido la elegida. Otros querían que el papel del fontanero italiano recayera en un italiano.Los críticos de Chris Pratt en ‘Super Mario Bros. La película’ oirán muy poco el acento italiano del actor.Super Mario Bros.

BEIJING (AP) — Iran’s semiofficial news agency ISNA reported Thursday that Saudi Arabia and Iran agreed to reopen diplomatic missions in their respective capitals and in additional cities. There was no immediate official confirmation of the report.As part of the reported deal, the two sides would also study the prospects of resuming flights between the two nations and facilitating the visa process for the citizens of both countries. Saudi Arabia and Iran are longtime regional rivals, but have moved toward reconciliation as part of a deal brokered by China last month.If confirmed, the agreement would represent a new step toward reconciliation after seven years of tension. The rapprochement, which was initiated last month, lowers the chance of armed conflict between the Mideast rivals – both directly and in proxy conflicts around the region.The initial reconciliation agreement was brokered by Beijing in March.It represents a major diplomatic victory for the Chinese as Gulf Arab states...China vows ‘forceful’ measures after US-Taiwan meeting

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — China vowed reprisals against Taiwan Thursday after a meeting between the U.S. House Speaker and the island’s President, saying the U.S. was on a “wrong and dangerous road.”Speaker Kevin McCarthy hosted Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen on Wednesday in a show of U.S. support for the self-ruled island, which China claims as its own, along with a bi-partisan delegation of more than a dozen U.S. lawmakers. The Biden administration has said there is nothing provocative about the visit by Tsai, which is the latest of a half-dozen to the U.S. Yet, it comes as as the U.S.-China relationship has fallen to historic lows, with U.S. support for Taiwan becoming one of the main points of difference between the two powers.But the formal trappings of the meeting, and the senior rank of some of the elected officials in the delegation from Congress, could lead China to view it as an escalation. No speaker is known to have met with a Taiwan president on U.S. soil since the U.S...Coal capacity climbs worldwide despite promises to slash it

The capacity to burn coal for power went up in 2022 despite global promises to phase down the fuel that’s the biggest source of planet-warming gases in the atmosphere, a report Wednesday found.The coal fleet grew by 19.5 gigawatts last year, enough to light up around 15 million homes, with nearly all newly commissioned coal projects in China, according to a report by Global Energy Monitor, an organization that tracks a variety of energy projects around the globe. That 1% increase comes at a time when the world needs to retire its coal fleet four and a half times faster to meet climate goals, the report said. In 2021, countries around the world promised to phase down the use of coal to help achieve the goal to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit). “The more new coal projects come online, the steeper the cuts and commitments need to be in the future,” said Flora Champenois, the report’s lead author and the project manager for GEM’s Global Coal Plant Tracke...Between 'reset' and 'de-risk', EU leaders pay rare visit to China

European Union executive head Ursula von der Leyen and French President Emmanuel Macron were to land in China on Wednesday (5 April) seeking to "reset" ties with an important economic partner while broaching thorny issues like Ukraine and trade risks.Macron last visited China in 2019 while it will be von der Leyen's first trip since becoming European Commission president that year.Since then, China's strict pandemic controls forced all diplomatic meetings online as relations with Europe soured: first due to a stalled investment pact in 2021 and then Beijing's refusal to condemn Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.For Macron, facing embarrassing pension protests at home, the trip offers a chance to land some economic wins as he travels with a 50-strong business delegation, including Airbus (AIR.PA), which is negotiating a big plane order, Alstom (ALSO.PA) and nuclear giant EDF (EDF.PA).However, some analysts said ostentatious deal-signing would appear opportunistic at a time of heigh...Detached house sells for $1.9 million in San Jose
