Large swaths of Middle Eastern airspace have been shut down as the conflict in Iran escalates. See how the disruptions along major flight routes have carved a “hole in the sky,” forcing airlines to reroute planes onto longer, costlier paths.

Here’s what else you need to know to get up to speed and on with your day.

1⃣ War with Iran

As the war with Iran enters its fourth day, US and Israeli officials are signaling that their joint military operation is far from finished. Israel said it is carrying out “simultaneous strikes” in Tehran and Beirut, targeting Iranian military sites and the Iran-backed group Hezbollah. Iran, meanwhile, is retaliating by attacking neighboring US allies, plunging the region into further upheaval. President Donald Trump told CNN the “biggest surprise” of the war has been Iran’s strikes on Arab countries, and he warned that the “big wave” of US action is still to come. The US State Department has also ordered the departure of non-emergency personnel from Jordan, Bahrain, Iraq, Qatar and Kuwait, after urging Americans to leave the Middle East immediately.

2⃣ Nationwide protests

Thousands of people gathered peacefully across the US on Monday to protest the US-Israeli military operation in Iran, exposing sharp divisions over the strikes. Demonstrators rallied from Boston — where speakers denounced “endless, immoral wars” — to New York and Los Angeles, chanting “hands off Iran” and “No war on Iran.” Similar protests unfolded in Chicago, Portland, Oregon, and Madison, Wisconsin. At the same time, some Iranian Americans have openly welcomed the killing of Iran’s supreme leader and called for regime change, reflecting deep rifts within the diaspora over the conflict.

3⃣ Primaries

All eyes are on Texas, where today’s high-stakes primaries are expected to offer an early snapshot of voter engagement and party momentum. The first votes will begin to come in at 8 p.m. ET, when polls close in most of the state. While every election night is slightly different, Texas typically reports quickly: In November 2024, more than half the vote was counted within the first hour, and nearly 90% was in by midnight. The first results of the 2026 primary season, however, will come from North Carolina, where polls close at 7:30 p.m. ET. All polls in Arkansas close an hour later at 8:30 p.m. ET. In 2024, most of the vote in both states was reported by midnight.

4⃣ Clinton depositions

The House Oversight Committee on Monday released video of the closed-door depositions of Bill and Hillary Clinton that occurred last week as part of the panel’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Although former President Bill Clinton has more documented ties to Epstein, it was Hillary Clinton’s deposition that Read more

The House Oversight Committee on Monday released video of the closed-door depositions of Bill and Hillary Clinton that occurred last week as part of the panel’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Although former President Bill Clinton has more documented ties to Epstein, it was Hillary Clinton’s deposition that grew more heated as she frequently clashed with Republicans. Bill Clinton, with a calmer demeanor and visibly shaking hands, denied having any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes. Lawmakers repeatedly showed the former president photos of him with women from the released Epstein files, asking

Dejó Venezuela para buscar seguridad en EE.UU. El miedo a ICE la llevó a una nueva mudanza, esta vez a España

Durante siete años, el hogar de Mariángel Carrillo estuvo fijo en la ciudad de Weston, Florida. Se había mudado allí junto a gran parte de su familia dejando atrás su natal Barquisimeto, en Venezuela, debido a la creciente inseguridad.

En este municipio del condado de Broward se desempeñó como trabajadora social en una clínica durante los primeros cuatro años en el país. Posteriormente, se sacó una licencia y se cambió al rubro de los seguros. “Me fue muy bien, estoy muy agradecida del tiempo vivido, porque siento que Estados Unidos me dio una tranquilidad que no tenía”, cuenta Carrillo a CNN.

Pero esa tranquilidad dio un vuelco a lo largo de 2025. Con el inicio del segundo mandato de Donald Trump, la nueva política migratoria de su administración y los continuos operativos del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas estadounidense (ICE, por sus siglas en inglés), el sueño americano de Carrillo se terminó convirtiendo en una pesadilla.

“De un momento a otro me sentí perseguida”, cuenta, notablemente afectada, a CNN. “Me sentí con mucho miedo de estar en la calle, de hablar, de dar mi opinión y yo por eso salí de mi país (Venezuela)”, lamenta la mujer. “Mi trabajo como bróker de seguros era en la calle, hablando con gente, buscando clientes…y ya no me sentía segura para hacer ese trabajo”, agrega.

Su temor era el mismo que el de tantos otros miembros de la comunidad hispana en Estados Unidos, que a lo largo de los últimos meses han expresado su inseguridad ante los múltiples operativos de ICE. “Nos quieren hacer ver que solo persiguen a la gente que hace daño o que está ilegal y no es así”, detalla conmovida.

Un miedo que la paralizaba a pesar de su estatus legal en el país, siendo que contaba con permiso de trabajo hasta el año 2030, según le explicó a CNN. “Hemos sido perseguidos personas trabajadoras, personas que contribuimos con impuestos…nos están tratando como criminales que nos somos”, reclama.

Carrillo es enfática cuando habla de la nueva política migratoria. “No estoy de acuerdo con lo que está pasando”, dice, y agrega: “Nosotros somos personas que queremos que el país donde nosotros estemos brille, porque eso nos hace brillar a nosotros también”.

De ahí que su primer paso fuera intentar bajar el perfil. Algo que la llevó, durante un tiempo, a cambiar su coche por el de su hermana, que describe como un automóvil de gama superior. “Me daba miedo estar en ese carro, porque esos carros los buscan”.

“También yo tenía una imagen de una Virgen en el vidrio y te decían que no era bueno tener esas imágenes, porque te tipificaba como miembro de un grupo latino”, añade.

Pero intentar pasar desapercibida no fue suficiente. De alguna forma, este cambio sobre las políticas migratorias le despertó el mal recuerdo de experiencias pasadas que, justamente, la empujaron a salir de Barquisimeto. “En Venezuela fue al contrario, tenías que bajar de gama (de automóvil) para que no te secuestraran”.

Así que no lo pensó dos veces y se animó a salir del país con rumbo a España. “España me regresó esa seguridad, esa tranquilidad”, afirma, ya más relajada. “El país me ha tratado muy amablemente…solo puedo decir cosas buenas desde que llegué”.

Su arribo data de septiembre de 2025, cuando aterrizó en Madrid para establecer su nueva residencia. Un cambio que pudo ejecutar tras lograr una visa de nómada digital, que le ofrece tres años de residencia mientras trabaja, mayormente, de forma remota para empresas extranjeras.

Desde entonces, Carrillo vive un idilio con el país. De ahí que sus planes a medio plazo pasen por quedarse en la capital española, donde se siente realizada y a gusto.

Particularmente porque siente que España trata mejor a los migrantes. “Dejar tu país para empezar una nueva vida, a cierta edad, ya es difícil”, reflexiona. “Que te ayuden, que te den la mano, que te

Is fashion just for billionaires now?

For Fall-Winter 2026

By Rachel Tashjian, CNN

Milan, Italy (CNN) — There comes a time during fashion week, as you look at a throng of photographers fighting to capture photos of someone very thin wearing a very dated outfit, or watch Priscilla Chan — alongside her husband, Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg — stride into the Prada show wearing the €11,500 ($13,000 and change) Prada shearling coat with the blonde collar you fantasized about owning if you one day became a multimillionaire in some fabulously ethical way, when you ask yourself: who is all this for?

Fashion has never been more omnipresent or less available. It has made itself as pervasive as pop music by livestreaming its shows and turning the race to attire celebrities into a sport. In adapting its output to platforms like TikTok and Instagram (whose vice president of fashion, Eva Chen, is in some ways as powerful as Vogue’s Anna Wintour), the industry has cultivated multiple generations of fashion savvy observers eager to weigh in on brands’ every move. The tacky-or-brilliant Gucci show, for example, generated days of debate.

At the same time, prices have skyrocketed: a Chanel bag went from $5,800 in 2019 to $10,800 by 2024; the Spring 2025 Versace collection that has been embraced as a welcome alternative to quiet luxury’s domination includes dresses priced at tens of thousands of dollars. The products that all these digital marketing efforts are ostensibly pushing are unavailable to most of the people talking about them. (The idea is that Zoomers sharing hot takes about fashion are going to buy a designer’s perfume or mascara. But the kids today are too savvy to settle for such crassly obvious merch.)

That has cast an unsettled feeling over this season of shows: what are we looking at, and why? Uniform proposals for the one percent who may care little for the nuances of runway philosophizing, or pop culture to be picked apart through social media discourse by communities with little stake in a brand’s market success?

This came into sharp focus at Prada’s Thursday show as Zuckerberg and Chan walked into the event, an appearance likely tied to rumors that Meta will collaborate with Prada on a smart glasses offering. The collection itself was a classic Prada feminine manifesto: just 15 models walked the runway four times each for 60 total looks, each a mix and match of their previous ensembles with pieces added in or taken out. It was a statement on the speed of modern womanhood – the way women rush through both the minutiae of their days and the sweep of history changing and reinventing with just a few tools (bloomers and kitschy beaded skirts; outrageous feather boots and spangly socks). When so much about femininity today focuses on slowly slathering faces and pricking bodies to lengthen youth or stop time altogether, it was a mischievous but toothy runway thesis.

But for many, Zuckerberg and Chan were a chilling distraction: what are these billionaires doing at the biannual luxury fashion event? The truth is that billionaires have more money than they’ve ever had before (according to Forbes, Zuckerberg’s net worth jumped from $72 billion to $177 billion in th

La guerra en Medio Oriente expone los límites del poder del Kremlin. Primarias en EE.UU. ¿Qué hay detrás de los cambios en el gabinete de Delcy Rodríguez? Esto es lo que debes saber para comenzar el día. Primero la verdad.

Días después de que Estados Unidos e Israel lanzaran los primeros ataques contra Irán, el conflicto se agrava hora tras hora, involucrando a otros países de la región, generando temores respecto a la economía global y dejando a miles de viajeros varados. Además, los ataques de represalia lanzados desde Irán quebraron cualquier sensación de seguridad que sus vecinos del Golfo hubieran disfrutado y dejaron varios muertos, incluidos seis militares de Estados Unidos.

Con el Kremlin sumido en una larga y agotadora guerra en Ucrania y cada vez más maniatado económica y militarmente, el papel de Moscú en el creciente conflicto de Medio Oriente podría limitarse a la retórica. Análisis.

Las elecciones de 2026 en Estados Unidos comienzan este martes, día en que los votantes acudirán a las urnas para las primeras primarias estatales en Arkansas, Carolina del Norte y Texas. La gran apuesta es la carrera al Senado de Estados Unidos en Texas, pero hay mucho más que los analistas políticos deben tener en cuenta.

Tras renunciar como fiscal general de Venezuela, cargo que ocupó casi 10 años, Tarek William Saab fue nombrado de inmediato defensor del pueblo encargado. Analistas consultados por CNN señalan que, aunque el puesto tiene menor visibilidad, le otorga inmunidad temporal a quien, al menos por un
