EUA vetam apelo do Conselho de Segurança por "pausa humanitária" na guerra entre Israel e Hamas
Por Caitlin Hu e Richard Roth, CNN Atualizado às 14h41 EDT, quarta-feira, 18 de outubro de 2023
Os Estados Unidos vetaram um projeto de resolução no Conselho de Segurança da ONU que pedia uma pausa humanitária na Gaza sitiada, gerando mais críticas à paralisia política no poderoso organismo global.
O breve projeto de resolução, proposto pelo Brasil, condenou os ataques terroristas de 7 de outubro em Israel pelo grupo militante palestino Hamas, que mataram mais de 1.400 pessoas, e pediu a libertação dos reféns.
O documento também apelou a todas as partes para que cumpram o direito internacional e protejam as vidas civis na Faixa de Gaza, controlada pelo Hamas, em meio a uma feroz retaliação por parte de aviões de guerra israelenses. A comunidade internacional deve planejar "pausas humanitárias" nos combates para permitir a entrega de ajuda, afirmou.
Doze dos 15 membros do conselho aprovaram o projeto na quarta-feira, com a abstenção do Reino Unido e da Rússia, e o veto dos EUA.
Falando após a votação, a embaixadora dos EUA na ONU, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, explicou que os EUA queriam mais tempo para deixar a diplomacia americana em campo "se desenrolar". Os EUA já haviam adiado a votação da resolução.
Thomas-Greenfield também criticou o texto por não mencionar o direito de Israel à autodefesa — um ponto posteriormente ecoado pela representante britânica Barbara Woodward.
Desde os ataques do Hamas, Israel vem bombardeando Gaza, controlada pelo Hamas, com ataques aéreos. Também cortou o acesso de 2 milhões de pessoas aos enclaves, incluindo alimentos, água e eletricidade.
Mais de 3.000 pessoas morreram nos ataques israelenses — incluindo mais de 1.000 crianças e dezenas de trabalhadores humanitários — e especialistas da ONU estão alertando sobre um desastre generalizado se a água e a eletricidade não forem restauradas.
Em Nova York, vários membros do Conselho de Segurança expressaram decepção e frustração pelo fracasso de uma declaração conjunta sobre a importância da ajuda e da proteção civil.
“Infelizmente, muito tristemente, o conselho mais uma vez não conseguiu adotar uma resolução sobre esses conflitos. Mais uma vez, o silêncio e a inação prevaleceram. Sem o verdadeiro interesse de longo prazo de ninguém”, disse o Embaixador da ONU no Brasil, Sergio Franca Danese, após o veto.
O Conselho de Segurança "perdeu uma oportunidade", disse o representante francês Nicolas de Rivière à imprensa após a votação. "Lamentamos profundamente que este texto tenha sido rejeitado", disse ele.
Falando ao conselho, a embaixadora dos Emirados Árabes Unidos, Lana Nusseibah, disse que a resolução não era um "texto perfeito", mas que seu país votou a favor dela "porque ela declara claramente os princípios básicos que devem ser mantidos e que este Conselho é obrigado a reforçar e defender.
Na semana passada, a Rússia propôs outra resolução pedindo um cessar-fogo humanitário em Gaza, que também não foi aprovada.

O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder à questão.
(1º§) Over the summer a video went viral on TikTok. It
was captioned "using this trend to get a new LinkedIn
headshot". In the short clip, a young woman shows both
how she looks in real life, and the professional-looking
headshot photos that she created using an AI-powered
app called Remini. The video has now been watched
52.3 million times, and a host of similar ones from other
TikTokers have also been extensively viewed. Remini,
and competitors such as Try It On AI and AI Suit Up, use
AI-based software to create slick profile photos that aim
to look as if they were taken by an expert photographer.
With Remini you are asked to upload eight to 10 selfies,
preferably taken from different angles, and all in good
lighting. The AI uses those pictures to learn about the
way you look.
(2º§) Then just a few minutes later it will start creating
artificial photos of you looking very smart and even
glamorous, with your hair in different styles or positions,
and you wearing different clothes while sitting in perfect
lighting. It also gives you faultless skin, and improves
your make-up. Plus, you get different backdrops. And
some users find that it makes them look thinner.
(3º§) The results are somewhat in the eye of the beholder
- some say they are realistic, while others find that the
images look artificial. But while previous online image
manipulation trends, such as drastically changing your
hair or eye colour, have been about having fun on social
media, this one is very much focused on LinkedIn and
other job hunting websites.
(4º§) For some the attraction of the AI services is that
they are cheap. Divya Shishodia, 24, a digital marketer,
from Australia, says that while AI headshots "are
obviously generated, some people might not have the
budget to go and get a professional headshot taken".
While going to a professional photographer can cost
more than £100, Remini and the other providers will
generally give you free trials lasting a few days. "I'm not
saying they're the most realistic, but for the amount of
time and effort you have to put in... the output is worth it,"
says Ms Shishodia. She adds that, by contrast, if you try
to take a decent profile photo yourself it can be very
difficult. "You need angles, lighting, you are trying to
avoid shadows... only actual photographers can do it."
(5º§) For Michelle Genobisa, 26, from Aalborg, Denmark,
it is the low to no cost of the AI generated profile photos
that she is on board with. "I quite often change my looks,
like my hair colour... so it was an easy way to collect
some pictures with the effect of a professional
photoshoot," she says. "To get that kind of photo taken,
professionally, it's very expensive."
(6º§) Others are less impressed by the technology, such
as Molly McCrann, a 25-year-old actor from Australia. "I
just think it looks so fake, you can tell that it looks heavily
edited, or it looks like AI," she says. "When I posted mine
it made me look so skinny, and I don't look McCrann adds that she thinks it is probably better to
show prospective employers what you actually look like.
(7º§) However, she is also prepared to see the other side
of the argument. "Someone wrote a comment that I
actually agree with - if this company is going to base off
looks, I want to get in the room. And if this is going to get
me in the room, then I am going to use AI headshots to
get the interview." But what about the potential impact
that AI-improved images can have on our self-esteem?
Consumer psychologist Dr Paul Marsden says there are
two sides to the issue. "On one hand it could allow us to
put our best self forward, and the image of ourselves that
we want to project to the world, and in turn motivate us to
be that way inclined in real life," he tells the BBC. "The
psychology of first impressions is how we make snap
decisions based on initial impressions, and by using AI
people can put themselves in the running to potentially
be considered for an opportunity. On the other hand it
could affect people's self-worth and beliefs that they
themselves are not good enough comparatively to their
AI generation resulting in low confidence.
(8º§) Do recruiters care? Tristan Barthel from
London-based Tate Recruitment has seen a big rise in
the number of people using AI to improve their photos.
He says that it makes no difference in how he deals with
a person's application. "I can see if a picture has been AI
generated, and it wouldn't affect my decision, for me it's
about the qualifications."

Brazilian Indigenous groups protest as lawmakers
approve bill limiting recognition of ancestral lands
(1º§) Brazil's lower house of Congress on Tuesday night
approved a bill that would limit the recognition of
ancestral lands in a vote met by protests from Indigenous
groups.
(2º§) The bill, known as PL 490/2007, would strip the
environment and Indigenous people ministries of some
powers, weakening their oversight__ environmental
protections and the demarcation of Indigenous lands.
(3º§) The proposed legislation, which passed by 283
votes to 155, still requires approval from the Senate and
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
(4º§) Ahead of the vote, Indigenous groups blocked a
highway just outside the country's largest city Sao Paulo.
Protesters burned tires, fired arrows and threw objects __
the riot and military police, who used water cannons and
tear gas in return.
(5º§) Indigenous groups from across the country also
planned protests in the capital Brasilia, where Lula da
Silva is meeting with South American leaders.
(6º§) The president could still veto the bill, Reuters
reports, but Congress could have enough support to
override the move.
(7º§) "PL490 has been approved by the Chamber: a
serious attack on indigenous peoples and the
environment," Sônia Guajajara, the Indigenous Peoples
minister, tweeted late on Tuesday.
(8º§) "We keep fighting for life. Still in the Senate, we will
dialogue to avoid negotiating our lives in exchange for
profit and destruction. We will not give up!."
(9º§) Lula da Silva has promised to repair the damage to
the Amazon caused during the tenure of his predecessor,
Jair Bolsonaro. A surge in invasions and illegal extraction
of natural resources in protected Indigenous lands were
reported under the far-right former leader's time in office.
(10º§) Last month, Lula da Silva recognized six
Indigenous territories, Reuters reports, fulfilling part of his
campaign promise to protect Indigenous lands from being
taken for farming, gold mining and logging in the
Amazon.
(11º§) But Lula da Silva has had to face a hostile
Congress, which approved expediting the bill's review
process last week.
(12º§) While the bill does not impact fully recognized
Indigenous territories, it would affect territories that are
under claim.
(13º§) Rights groups warn that the bill would "prevent
Indigenous communities from obtaining title of their lands
if they were not physically present on them on October 5,
1988, the day Brazil's current Constitution was adopted,"
writes Human Rights Watch.
(14º§) "Indigenous peoples who were expelled from their
territory before October 1988 and cannot prove they were
involved in an ongoing dispute over their claim on that
date would not be able to secure legal recognition of their
lands," Human Rights Watch wrote in a statement.
(15º§) "Choosing an arbitrary cutoff date and refusing to
recognize ancestral lands claimed after that date is not
__ line with international standards," it added.
(16º§) If the bill passes, it could tarnish Lula da Silva's
climate ambitions. "If Lula loses this battle in Congress, it
will represent yet another political defeat for his
administration and display the conservative force he
faces," Bruna Santos, director of the Wilson Center's
Brazil Institute, told CNN.

How would you draw an elephant if you’d never seen one?
For illustrators in medieval Europe, depicting
animals like elephants that they’d never set eyes on was a
key part of their task to shape the morality of humankind.
What mattered most was what such creatures
represented in Christian spiritual terms—and so a lion might
represent the virtues of strength and courage.
Such depictions appeared alongside biblical stories
and in extraordinary illuminated manuscripts—including
illustrated bestiaries—created by hand before printing
became dominant in the 16th century.
And among the earliest medieval European
representations of fantastic ________ were elephants. Their
bond with their solitary children represented devotion, while
stories of elephants taking care to be _________ around
smaller animals symbolized kindness to others. Elephants
were also said to represent the spiritual redemption of Jesus
Christ, possibly because they had the strength to easily lift a
person out of sin.
The problem was, however, that few artists in
medieval Europe had ever seen a real elephant—instead
they created an astonishing variety of fabulous pachyderms
that still fascinates today.
Elephants first appeared in Europe with invading
armies as far back as 280 B.C., when the Hellenistic king
Pyrrhus __________ 20 along for his failed invasion of Italy.

How would you draw an elephant if you’d never seen one?
For illustrators in medieval Europe, depicting
animals like elephants that they’d never set eyes on was a
key part of their task to shape the morality of humankind.
What mattered most was what such creatures
represented in Christian spiritual terms—and so a lion might
represent the virtues of strength and courage.
Such depictions appeared alongside biblical stories
and in extraordinary illuminated manuscripts—including
illustrated bestiaries—created by hand before printing
became dominant in the 16th century.
And among the earliest medieval European
representations of fantastic ________ were elephants. Their
bond with their solitary children represented devotion, while
stories of elephants taking care to be _________ around
smaller animals symbolized kindness to others. Elephants
were also said to represent the spiritual redemption of Jesus
Christ, possibly because they had the strength to easily lift a
person out of sin.
The problem was, however, that few artists in
medieval Europe had ever seen a real elephant—instead
they created an astonishing variety of fabulous pachyderms
that still fascinates today.
Elephants first appeared in Europe with invading
armies as far back as 280 B.C., when the Hellenistic king
Pyrrhus __________ 20 along for his failed invasion of Italy.
