(CNN) — Si estás pensando en comprar un automóvil nuevo, es posible que estés atento a las noticias sobre una posible huelga del sindicato United Auto Workers (UAW). Y sí, según los expertos, podría haber serios inconvenientes para quienes compren determinados modelos de automóviles, camiones o SUV, al menos a largo plazo.Pero no hay una respuesta universal a lo que debe hacer un comprador de autos. Depende del vehículo que esté comprando y de su propio nivel de flexibilidad en la elección. En primer lugar, hay que tener en cuenta que solo General Motors, Ford y Stellantis se enfrentan a huelgas del sindicato United Auto Workers. Por tanto, si estás pensando en comprar un Toyota, un Honda o un Hyundai, cualquier posible huelga debería importarte poco.Y si estás pensando en comprar un Ford, un Chevrolet o un Jeep -marcas fabricadas por Ford, GM y Stellantis, respectivamente-, pero no eres muy exigente con el color o las opciones específicas, puede que aún estés a tiempo de comp...

MARSEILLE, France (AP) — South Africa put the squeeze on a brave Scotland, scoring two tries early in the second half to break open a close game and win 18-3 to start its Rugby World Cup title defense on Sunday.The Springboks showed both sides of their game at Stade Velodrome where flanker Pieter-Steph du Toit bashed his way over in the 46th minute and winger Kurt-Lee Arendse flew onto a perfect cross-kick from flyhalf Manie Libbok three minutes later to make a narrow 6-3 lead at halftime suddenly comfortable.There were no more points as South Africa closed it down in the last half-hour, using a set-piece dominance it ultimately gained and physical, rushing defense to keep the game Scots at bay.That forward dominance for the world champion wasn’t guaranteed, though, especially after Scotland held its own early in the scrum battle and even shunted the daunted Boks pack back on their own put-in to set up Finn Russell’s long-range penalty and Scotland’s only points on...

IRVINE, Calif. (AP) — A pit bull puppy that California police believe got into its owners’ fentanyl stash was administered an overdose-reversing drug and is recovering, officials said. The dog’s owners, a man and a woman, were arrested and could face charges including drug possession and animal cruelty, according to the Irvine Police Department. The incident began with a “consensual” encounter between the couple and police on Wednesday outside a Walmart, department spokesman Kyle Oldoerp said. After officers discovered fentanyl in their car, the two were arrested, he said.“Then the female said, ‘Oh, I think my dog is overdosing,’ ” Oldoerp told the Los Angeles Times on Saturday. “She knew the symptoms because it was the second time the dog had overdosed.”He said it wasn’t immediately clear how the dog would have been exposed to the drug, which is up to 50 times more powerful than heroin. A dose as small as 2 milligrams can be fatal to a human, though dogs are less sensit...
