Un Gran Premio de Singapur que tiene lugar en el circuito de Marina Bay, que es uno de los más reconocibles, y que apunta a ser una cita clave para el devenir del Mundial y para Mercedes, como confirmaba el propio jefe del equipo Toto Wolff en la previa. Y esto no es solo porque Kimi Antonelli llegue con más de 80 puntos de distancia, sino también por la sanción de George Russell, que tras cambiar motor deberá salir desde la última posición por exceder el límite de componentes en la unidad de potencia. Un castigo que, además, tiene lugar en uno de los circuitos más complicados para ganar posiciones, al tratarse de un trazado urbano y estrecho, rodeado de muros, donde avanzar exige paciencia, pero también estrategia, o la intervención del coche de seguridad para reorganizar la parrilla. Aunque uno de los grandes nombres en la previa del GP de Singapur de Fórmula 1 ha sido Valteri Bottas, que ha protagonizado la anécdota de la semana, al viajar desde Malasia en bicicleta, recorriendo un total de 419, 67 kilómetros, la mayor parte de ellos por rutas de tierra y grava poco transitadas. Un camino que, además, se ha podido ir siguiendo a través de sus redes sociales. Alonso llega entre rumores y negación del Dakar 2027 En lo que respecta a los pilotos españoles, Carlos Sainz llega a Singapur con la moral alta, especialmente en lo que se refiere a la clasificación: “Creo que habéis visto que en circuitos de curvas a baja velocidad como en Bakú, nuestro coche puede rendir y podemos estar más cerca del Top-10. No en el Top-10, pero más cerca. Pero en el momento en que sumamos curvas de velocidad media y alta, nuestro coche no ha sido lo suficientemente bueno como para darnos la posibilidad de luchar por ese Top-10 en circuitos de velocidad media/alta”, declaró en la previa a los medios de comunicación. En cuanto a Fernando Alonso, ha cobrado protagonismo su negación de participar en el rally Dakar de 2027 como se había publicado en algunos medios de comunicación, especialmente por no verlo compatible con su participación en la próxima temporada de Fórmula 1, algo que se confirmó el pasado fin de semana. El piloto asturiano, además, ha dejado claro en la previa de este Gran Premio de Singapur que prefiere correr otro tipo de trazados: “Las carreras suelen ser mejores, se puede ir más al límite en Sepang, Zandvoort, Monza, Barcelona... aquí tienes que de estar atento para estar alejado de los muros. Por eso prefiero los circuitos tradicionales”, aseguró.

(The Center Square) - Republican state Sen. John Braun and Democratic U.S. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez met in a debate Wednesday night and clashed over the war in Iran, health care, taxes, immigration, election rules and the economy. The two candidates faced off in a televised debate in one of the nation’s most closely watched congressional races, and with less than five weeks before the Nov. 3 election, the race for Washington’s 3rd Congressional District remains deadlocked. The race is considered a toss-up and could help determine which party controls the U.S. House. Braun, a Centralia Republican and Washington Senate minority leader, has been endorsed by President Donald Trump. Gluesenkamp Perez, a two-term Democrat, has represented the district since 2023. The 3rd District includes much of Southwest Washington, including Clark, Cowlitz and Lewis counties and portions of other surrounding counties. The two candidates opened the debate’s foreign policy discussion with different positions on the ongoing war in Iran. “I would not support an open-ended war with no clear objectives to end it,” Braun said, arguing the United States should not extend the conflict without a clear path to ending it. Gluesenkamp Perez said she has voted against the war six times. “There’s no point of murkiness or complication,” she said, calling the war a disaster for American families, military families and U.S. geopolitical security. The issue also came up later when the candidates discussed gasoline prices. “Fuel prices are out of control,” Gluesenkamp Perez said, arguing the war has contributed significantly to higher fuel costs. Braun pointed to legislation he sponsored in the Washington Legislature that would eliminate the state gas tax when prices are high. At the federal level, he said he would support eliminating the cap-and-trade system, which he argued adds costs without adequately reducing carbon emissions. Affordability and health care was a hot topic as well, as the candidates offered competing approaches to the cost-of-living crisis. Braun said tax policy should be a primary federal tool for improving affordability, arguing the country needs stable and competitive tax policies for both individuals and businesses. He also pointed to energy policy, saying an “all-of-the-above” energy strategy has helped lower gas prices in Washington. Gluesenkamp Perez said the country needs to end the Iran war, reverse what she called disastrous health care cuts and increase the supply of housing. She also pointed to her efforts involving antitrust policy and right-to-repair legislation as ways to help small businesses compete. Gluesenkamp Perez criticized Braun over his support for the federal budget law H.R. 1, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, arguing that its changes to Medicaid would result in people losing coverage and drive up insurance costs. “I voted against these disastrous healthcare cuts,” Gluesenkamp Perez said. Braun rejected the characterization of H.R. 1 as a cut. “First of all, it’s not a cut, it’s actually a reduction in growth,” Braun said. He argued Medicaid had grown substantially in recent years and said reforms were necessary given the federal deficit. On immigration, Gluesenkamp Perez said securing the border is necessary but argued federal immigration enforcement should be held to high standards. She said she supports requiring Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to wear body cameras and supports limiting immigration enforcement in sensitive locations such as schools, churches and hospitals. “It was an easy vote for me to vote against the big budget bill that pre-funded ICE for eight years,” Gluesenkamp Perez said. She added that she supports secure borders and knowing who is entering the country. Braun called for state and local law enforcement agencies to be able to cooperate with federal immigration authorities. “I think we should focus on folks who have committed criminal acts,” Braun said, while also criticizing the Biden administration's handling of immigration. The candidates also sparred over election security and the SAVE Act. Gluesenkamp Perez voted for the SAVE Act, legislation supported by President Donald Trump that seeks to require proof of citizenship for voting. She defended that vote, saying only U.S. citizens should vote in federal elections. “It is really important that only U.S. citizens are casting ballots in our elections and that is current law,” she said. But she opposed the newer SAVE America Act, which includes additional identification requirements. “I’ll affirm loudly and repeatedly that voting is for citizens,” Gluesenkamp Perez said. Braun said he supports the SAVE America Act and argued voter identification requirements can strengthen public confidence in elections. “I think that voter ID is an important issue,” Braun said, pointing to other states where he said similar requirements have been implemented without reducing voter turnout. Both candidates said they support Washington's vote-by-mail system. Braun called vote-by-mail popular in Washington while saying voter ID requirements could improve trust in the state's election system. Gluesenkamp Perez called vote-by-mail the “gold standard in election security.” The rapid growth of data centers was another point of disagreement. Braun said he would not support a statewide moratorium or ban on data centers, noting that companies must comply with state and federal regulations. Gluesenkamp Perez raised concerns about the effects of artificial intelligence and data centers on communities. She cited potential noise pollution, increased energy costs and the broader impact of AI, particularly on children. She said data center moratoriums “can make sense” in some circumstances. The candidates also agreed that Washington has a spending problem, but disagreed over the state's newly enacted income tax. Gluesenkamp Perez criticized state lawmakers for spending too much money and said adding another source of revenue would not solve the underlying problem. Braun called the tax “wrong-headed” and “unconstitutional,” arguing Washington should live within its means. “I talked to Republicans, Independents, Democrats across the district, they don’t like it,” Braun said. Near the end of the debate, both candidates were asked to name their biggest accomplishments in office. Braun pointed to a 2015 bill he sponsored in the state Legislature that lowered tuition costs for higher education. Gluesenkamp Perez said her biggest accomplishment has been maintaining what she described as an independent voice for the district. She pointed to federal funding she helped secure for rural schools.

Public health, explained: Sign up to receive Healthbeat’s free New York City newsletter here.Data analysis by Thomas WilburnNew York City’s bodegas have long been hailed as good neighbors, small mom-and-pop institutions that provide basic food items like milk and eggs in a pinch. They’re often vital community resources in neighborhoods ignored by traditional supermarket chains.Now, as thousands of New Yorkers who shop at these stores lose food benefits due to federal rule changes, some bodega owners are worried about their stores’ survival. About 26,500 New Yorkers recently lost access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, under new federal work requirements tied to President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending package, H.R. 1. For many, that means about $200 less a month to spend on food, a loss that could have an outsized effect on the city’s small grocery stores. SNAP purchases generally make up 15% to 20% of a bodega’s revenue, depending on the number of recipients in the neighborhood, said Francisco Marte, president and founder of the Bodega and Small Business Group.At a corner bodega on the Grand Concourse, a thoroughfare that cuts through the heart of the Bronx, Yomary Pichardo said SNAP benefits make up as much as 30% of her revenue. Her store sits on the ground floor of an apartment building in the Tremont neighborhood, where bodegas outnumber supermarkets. About 44% of residents in the area rely on SNAP benefits, according to city data.Pichardo said it’s too soon to see the full impact on her store, but she expects the fallout to be significant as fewer shoppers pay with Electronic Benefits Transfer cards, or EBT.“If I didn’t accept EBT, I’d be forced to close the store,” Pichardo said from behind the counter, her face framed by a clear partition stocked with candy bars, gum, cough drops, and toothpaste. Cardboard boxes holding plantains, red onions, and potatoes sat nearby at the entrance.Yomary Pichardo, manager of a bodega in the Tremont neighborhood of the Bronx, rings up customers on Oct. 5, 2026. The "EBT" sign on display notes that the business accepts SNAP benefits.Federal rules push thousands off SNAPThe new work requirements took effect March 1 and gave certain SNAP recipients ages 18 to 64 three months to comply before losing assistance. Some recipients began losing benefits in June after failing to meet the requirements. As of Oct. 1, they can reapply for SNAP benefits.Of the 26,500 people who lost SNAP benefits, 40% involved Brooklyn residents and 26% involved Bronx residents, according to the Department of Social Services. Slightly more than half involved single adults between the ages of 18 and 35, with men accounting for nearly 6 in 10 case closings.The Bronx has the city’s highest share of residents relying on SNAP, at 33%, followed by Brooklyn at 22%, according to city data. About 14% of residents in Queens and Staten Island rely on the benefits, along with 13% in Manhattan.Although the Bronx qualifies for an exemption from Medicaid work requirements because of its high unemployment rate, that exemption does not apply to SNAP, which has separate rules, a spokesperson for the New York State Department of Health told Healthbeat.The law is also shifting more of the cost of administering SNAP to state and local governments. New York City — where 1.8 million residents rely on the benefits — expects to absorb nearly $111 million in additional costs.City officials are urging people who lost their benefits to reapply for three more months by visiting a Human Resources Administration office. “These federal rules are having an impact well beyond the people who were receiving SNAP,” Erin Dalton, commissioner of the Department of Social Services, said in an interview with Healthbeat.SNAP losses squeeze bodegas and familiesMarte estimates there are between 10,000 and 12,000 bodegas in New York City. Many are owned and operated by immigrants, including many Latinos.The stores have become community institutions where residents can run a tab, leave keys for their children, or find a sympathetic ear at the counter. Many stayed open during the height of the pandemic, when major supermarkets closed, and even managed to sell toilet paper as shelves elsewhere were empty. For many families receiving SNAP, bodegas and other convenience stores are also places to buy groceries. Nationwide, convenience stores made up 44% of SNAP-authorized retailers and account for 5% of SNAP benefit redemptions in 2021, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service. “We play real big roles in the community, and that’s why we are so iconic,” Marte said.But that role in their neighborhoods could become harder to sustain as more New Yorkers lose their SNAP benefits, advocates say.“Stores will start losing more revenue, and it will become more like a chronic issue, and maybe stores will start closing in communities that need them the most,” said Angela Trude, a professor in the Department of Nutrition and Food Studies at New York University who studies SNAP benefits and bodegas.Families who have lost SNAP benefits are already confronting those financial pressures in their own grocery budgets.Mency Tejesus stands for a portrait outside a church food bank in the Bronx after she collected a few items on Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2026.Outside St. Ann’s Church in the South Bronx, Mency Tejesus lined up on a recent Wednesday morning with dozens of others seeking food at a weekly food bank. Pushing a metal cart, the 62-year-old mother from Puerto Rico had collected tomatoes, cans of black beans, a bag of oatmeal, and several cans of tuna. The food has become especially critical after her adult son, who relies on SNAP benefits, received a notice saying he needed to meet the new work requirements. His loss of benefits cut the family’s food budget in half, to $298, Tejesus said.Tejesus said she relies on bodegas for some of the family’s groceries, comparing prices with supermarkets as she tries to stretch the reduced food budget.“Believe me, I was so mad,” Tejesus said. “I said, ‘Why are they doing this?’”New Yorkers who have lost their SNAP benefits or believe they may qualify for an exemption can call 718-SNAP-NOW (718-762-7669) for assistance.

The "EBT" sign on display notes that the business accepts SNAP benefits.Federal rules push thousands off SNAPThe new work requirements took effect March 1 and gave certain SNAP recipients ages 18 to 64 three months to comply before losing assistance. Some recipients began losing benefits in June after failing to meet the requirements. As of Oct. 1, they can reapply for SNAP benefits.Of the 26,500 people who lost SNAP benefits, 40% involved Brooklyn residents and 26% involved Bronx residents, according to the Department of Social Services. Slightly more than half involved single adults between the ages of 18 and 35, with men accounting for nearly 6 in 10 case closings.The Bronx has the city’s highest share of residents relying on SNAP, at 33%, followed by Brooklyn at 22%, according to city data. About 14% of residents in Queens and Staten Island rely on the benefits, along with 13% in Manhattan.Although the Bronx qualifies for an exemption from Medicaid work requirements because of its high unemployment rate, that exemption does not apply to SNAP, which has separate rules, a spokesperson for the New York State Department of Health told Healthbeat.The law is also shifting more of the cost of administering SNAP to state and local governments. New York City — where 1.8 million residents rely on the benefits — expects to absorb nearly $111 million in additional costs.City officials are urging people who lost their benefits to reapply for three more months by visiting a Human Resources Administration office. “These federal rules are having an impact well beyond the people who were receiving SNAP,” Erin Dalton, commissioner of the Department of Social Services, said in an interview with Healthbeat.SNAP losses squeeze bodegas and familiesMarte estimates there are between 10,000 and 12,000 bodegas in New York City. Many are owned and operated by immigrants, including many Latinos.The stores have become community institutions where residents can run a tab, leave keys for their children, or find a sympathetic ear at the counter. Many stayed open during the height of the pandemic, when major supermarkets closed, and even managed to sell toilet paper as shelves elsewhere were empty. For many families receiving SNAP, bodegas and other convenience stores are also places to buy groceries. Nationwide, convenience stores made up 44% of SNAP-authorized retailers and account for 5% of SNAP benefit redemptions in 2021, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service. “We play real big roles in the community, and that’s why we are so iconic,” Marte said.But that role in their neighborhoods could become harder to sustain as more New Yorkers lose their SNAP benefits, advocates say.“Stores will start losing more revenue, and it will become more like a chronic issue, and maybe stores will start closing in communities that need them the most,” said Angela Trude, a professor in the Department of Nutrition and Food Studies at New York University who studies SNAP benefits and bodegas.Families who have lost SNAP benefits are already confronting those financial pressures in their own grocery budgets.Mency Tejesus stands for a portrait outside a church food bank in the Bronx after she collected a few items on Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2026.Outside St. Ann’s Church in the South Bronx, Mency Tejesus lined up on a recent Wednesday morning with dozens of others seeking food at a weekly food bank. Pushing a metal cart, the 62-year-old mother from Puerto Rico had collected tomatoes, cans of black beans, a bag of oatmeal, and several cans of tuna. The food has become especially critical after her adult son, who relies on SNAP benefits, received a notice saying he needed to meet the new work requirements. His loss of benefits cut the family’s food budget in half, to $298, Tejesus said.Tejesus said she relies on bodegas for some of the family’s groceries, comparing prices with supermarkets as she tries to stretch the reduced food budget.“Believe me, I was so mad,” Tejesus said. “I said, ‘Why are they doing this?’”New Yorkers who have lost their SNAP benefits or believe they may qualify for an exemption can call 718-SNAP-NOW (718-762-7669) for assistance.
