(CNN) — At least two people have been killed after a car drove through a crowd in the eastern German city of Leipzig, local police said Monday.

Two other people were severely injured and have been taken to hospital, while 20 more have been “affected,” according to Axel Schuh, the head of Leipzig’s fire brigade.

A large emergency service presence is at the scene, Schuh said.

Meanwhile, German police said the suspected driver of the car, who is male, has been arrested and “no longer poses a threat.”

“A police operation is currently underway in downtown Leipzig,” police posted on X. “Please keep emergency routes clear and follow the instructions of the emergency personnel on site.”

The city’s mayor, Burkhard Jung, said the motive of the suspected perpetrator is unclear at this stage. “There is no further danger,” he said.

La Corte Suprema de EE.UU. restablece temporalmente la posibilidad de recibir el fármaco abortivo mifepristona por correo

Este lunes, la Corte Suprema restableció temporalmente el acceso a la píldora abortiva mifepristona mediante telemedicina y correo postal, en respuesta a una apelación de emergencia que advertía del posible caos para las pacientes que tenían citas para acceder al medicamento.

La suspensión administrativa dista mucho de ser una decisión definitiva, sino que mantiene el statu quo durante unos días mientras el tribunal revisa las apelaciones de emergencia presentadas el sábado por el fabricante del medicamento y el productor de una versión genérica.

La orden suspende una decisión del Tribunal de Apelaciones del Quinto Circuito de Estados Unidos, de tendencia conservadora, que restableció el requisito nacional de que el medicamento se obtenga en persona, lo que limita el acceso a este método de aborto, que se ha generalizado desde que el tribunal anuló el caso Roe vs. Wade.

La orden del juez Samuel Alito que suspende el fallo del Quinto Circuito estará vigente hasta el 11 de mayo, y Alito solicitó una respuesta en los casos para el jueves.

Danco Laboratories, fabricante de mifepristona, argumentó ante la Corte Suprema en su apelación que la orden del Quinto Circuito “genera confusión y trastornos inmediatos en decisiones médicas que requieren una respuesta rápida”. GenBioPro, fabricante de una versión genérica del medicamento, afirmó en su propia apelación que la decisión del tribunal inferior corría el riesgo de “interrumpir abruptamente el acceso al fármaco para pacientes en todo el país”.

El caso, tramitado por vía rápida, vuelve a poner el medicamento y el tema del aborto en la agenda de la Corte Suprema menos de dos años después de que los magistrados rechazaran una impugnación similar, una decisión que permitió que el medicamento siguiera estando ampliamente disponible. Alito se encarga de las apelaciones de emergencia que surgen del Quinto Circuito de Apelaciones, con sede en Nueva Orleans.

Desde la pandemia de covid-19, las mujeres han podido obtener mifepristona, uno de los dos fármacos del régimen de aborto farmacológico, mediante consultas de telemedicina. La administración de Biden estableció las normas que eliminaron el requisito de obtener las píldoras mediante una visita médica presencial en 2023, un año después de que la Corte Suprema revocara el fallo del caso Roe vs. Wade.

Ante la respuesta de los estados conservadores a la decisión tribunal, que han prohibido o restringido severamente el acceso a los abortos en clínicas, los abortos con medicamentos se han vuelto más comunes. Según una investigación del Instituto Guttmacher, los abortos con medicamentos representaron más del 60 % de los abortos en Estados Unidos en 2023.

Un análisis de CNN sobre los datos de la mifepristona muestra que el fármaco es sumamente seguro y tiene menos efectos secundarios reportados que la Viagra o la penicilina.

El año pasado, Louisiana presentó una demanda alegando que la regulación de la era Biden socavaba su propia prohibición del aborto. En abril, un tribunal federal de distrito se negó a restringir el acceso al medicamento hasta que la Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos (FDA, por sus siglas en inglés) completara una revisión de seguridad del mismo.

La Corte Suprema ya había examinado el asunto en 2024 y rechazó por unanimidad una demanda que impugnaba la regulación de la FDA. Sin embargo, resolvió la controversia al concluir que los médicos y los grupos antiaborto que habían impugnado el acceso al medicamento carecían de legitimación activa para demandar. Esta decisión técnica y restrictiva implicaba que era casi seguro que futuras impugnaciones volverían a llegar a los magistrados.

Musk wanted to settle with OpenAI just days before their courtroom showdown, new filing says

Elon Musk arrives at the federal courthouse in the trial over Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI in Oakland

By Hadas Gold, CNN

(CNN) — Elon Musk sought a potential settlement with OpenAI two days before his massive trial against the ChatGPT maker began last week, a new court filing from OpenAI says.

Musk sent a message to OpenAI President Greg Brockman “to gauge interest in settlement” on April 25, according to a filing submitted Sunday evening by OpenAI. The trial, which could shake up the AI race by removing CEO Sam Altman and Brockman from OpenAI’s board if Musk gets his way, kicked off in a federal courthouse in Oakland, Calif. last week.

“When Mr. Brockman responded with a suggestion that both sides drop their respective claims, Mr. Musk shot back: ‘By the end of this week, you and Sam will be the most hated men in America. If you insist, so it will be,’” the filing states.

Musk sued OpenAI and its leaders claiming they breached a charitable trust and unjustly enriched themselves by transitioning from a nonprofit to its current structure. The AI company is now a for-profit benefit corporation overseen by a nonprofit foundation.

Musk, who helped co-found and fund OpenAI, claimed the company and its executives deceived him into donating money to help create what is now one of the world’s biggest AI companies, accusing them of “stealing a charity” in his testimony.

OpenAI claims Musk had pushed for a for-profit structure and is only pursuing legal action to bring down a competitor after he wasn’t able to retain control over the company. Musk left OpenAI’s board in 2018 and founded his own AI company, called xAI, in 2023.

OpenAI’s attorneys tried to submit Musk’s messages as evidence.

“It tends to prove motive and bias, and, in particular, that Mr. Musk’s motivation in pursuing this lawsuit is to attack a competitor and its principals,” the attorneys wrote in the filing.

But Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers denied the request, telling OpenAI’s attorneys they should have submitted it as evidence during Musk’s testimony.

Musk’s attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Altman worried that Musk would drop the case right before the trial, leaving him and OpenAI without a chance to tell their side of the story, he said on the Core Memory podcast last month.

OpenAI attorneys, who at times clashed with Musk in the courtroom last week, presented evidence they said showed Musk wanted a for-profit corporation, including evidence that he directed his associates to register a corporation in OpenAI’s name. Musk’s attorneys presented messages from 2022 in which Musk told Altman that OpenAI’s $20 billion valuation following Microsoft’s $10 billion investment felt like a “bait and switch.”

“I agree it feels bad,” Altman replied, before noting Musk declined the equity OpenAI offered him.

Brockman, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and other high-profile figures in the tech industry are also expected to testify over the next couple of weeks.
