Una estrella histórica: la del primer futbolista del mundo en ser reconocido en el Paseo de la Fama de Hollywood. Ese es el emocionante mérito que ha sumado este viernes sir David Beckham a su larga lista de méritos. El exjugador británico, de 51 años, es de los escasos deportistas, apenas media docena, en ser honrado por la Cámara de Comercio de Hollywood, y el primero de este deporte, tan minoritario en Estados Unidos. El londinense ha recibido el reconocimiento feliz y emocionado, con lágrimas en los ojos, rodeado de su familia, de cientos de seguidores y de amigos, como los actores Eva Longoria y Tom Cruise.

Primero fue México, que resolvió su debut con un cómodo triunfo ante Sudáfrica (2-0), y esta noche, el segundo de los tres países anfitriones del Mundial 2026, Canadá, está debutando en la gran cita. Lo hace ante la Bosnia de Edin Dzeko, dispuesta a dar la campanada en el Grupo B que hoy echa a rodar. En la madrugada de este sábado será el turno del tercer y último anfitrión, Estados Unidos, encuadrado en su estreno ante Paraguay.

Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense (MoD) says artificial intelligence is increasingly integrated into so-called “middle strike” systems, enabling long-range drones to operate in heavily contested electronic warfare environments and strike targets at operational depth.
Officials say the systems are part of a broader program aimed at disrupting Russian logistics and supply chains, with Ukraine reporting a sharp increase in strikes on transport routes, depots, command posts, and equipment concentrations in recent months.
The MoD explains that the use of AI is intended to overcome two key constraints in this operational zone: heavy electronic warfare interference that disrupts satellite navigation, and dense air defense coverage that limits predictable flight paths.
AI takes over control at target approach phase
According to the ministry, AI systems are not active throughout the entire mission. Drones are initially flown under operator control, but once they reach a designated target grid, onboard systems take over navigation and targeting.
At that stage, onboard computers and optical sensors begin real-time analysis of the surrounding area, switching from manual guidance to autonomous control for the final approach.
Visual navigation without GPS using terrain matching
The ministry says drones equipped with AI systems are able to operate without reliable satellite navigation by using onboard cameras and computer vision models.
These systems continuously scan terrain features such as roads, rivers, and landscape contours, and compare them against preloaded high-resolution satellite imagery.
This allows the drone to determine its position based on visual correlation rather than GPS signals, which are often degraded or spoofed by electronic warfare.
Automated target recognition and terminal strike adjustment
In the terminal phase, AI systems analyze live video feeds to identify military equipment based on trained visual patterns. The system is designed to distinguish between different types of targets and automatically assign a tracking marker once a valid target is recognized.
Once a target is locked, the AI adjusts flight controls in real time to guide the drone into a final dive trajectory.
The ministry also says the system can reduce misidentification risks by distinguishing between real equipment and decoys using multiple indicators, including geometry, surface texture, and thermal signatures.
Russian forces are increasingly trying to counter these AI-assisted drone targeting systems using methods such as painting military vehicles with high-contrast zebra-like stripes. Experts say the markings are designed to confuse computer vision models trained to identify standard vehicle shapes and camouflage patterns.

Route planning shaped by electronic warfare conditions
The MoD says AI is also used before launch to optimize flight paths. Planning systems incorporate intelligence on Russian air defense and electronic warfare deployments, selecting routes that minimize exposure.
This includes analysis of radar coverage, identification of terrain masking opportunities, and the use of blind spots in air defense systems. The goal, according to officials, is to ensure drones can reach operational depth targets despite dense electronic warfare and interception layers.
“Logistics Lockdown” program and expanded strike depth
Ukraine says these systems are being deployed as part of a wider “Logistics Lockdown” program aimed at increasing pressure on Russian military supply chains.
Officials say “middle strike” operations are now being scaled to target Russian logistics, infrastructure, and military assets at distances of up to 200 kilometers behind the front line.
The MoD says the approach is designed to combine intelligence, long-range strike capability, and automation to increase the tempo and effectiveness of attacks on Russia’s rear support systems.

Intesa Sanpaolo: al via ai Piani di Incentivazione a Lungo Termine 2026-2029, oltre 52 mila dipendenti aderiscono al LECOIP
Il Consiglio di Amministrazione di IntesaSanpaolo, riunitosi oggi, ha deliberato l’avvio dei Piani di Incentivazione a Lungo Termine 2026-2029, basati su strumenti finanziari e approvati dall’Assemblea degli azionisti del 30 aprile 2026. I piani riguardano due principali strumenti: il Performance Share Plan 2026-2029, destinato al management, inclusi il Consigliere Delegato e CEO, i restanti Risk Taker Apicali e gli altri Risk Taker di Gruppo del perimetro italiano ed estero; e il LECOIP 2026-2029, rivolto alla restante popolazione di dipendenti, inclusi i Professional del perimetro italiano del Gruppo.
In esecuzione della delibera, IntesaSanpaolo procederà il 30 giugno 2026, con riferimento al LECOIP, agli aumenti di capitale posti al servizio del Piano, con l’emissione delle relative azioni. Per quanto riguarda il Performance Share Plan, saranno invece assegnati a ciascun manager i Diritti PSP, ciascuno dei quali attribuisce il diritto a maturare, al termine del Piano, un’azione IntesaSanpaolo, subordinatamente al verificarsi delle condizioni previste dal regolamento e nel rispetto dei limiti stabiliti dall’Assemblea.
Per l’attuazione del LECOIP, il Consiglio ha deliberato di esercitare la delega conferita dall’Assemblea per gli aumenti di capitale a favore dei dipendenti del Gruppo. In particolare, è previsto un aumento di capitale a titolo gratuito, con emissione di massime 76 milioni di azioni ordinarie Intesa Sanpaolo, destinate all’attribuzione delle cosiddette Free Share e Matching Share. È inoltre previsto un aumento di capitale a pagamento, con esclusione del diritto d’opzione a favore dei dipendenti Professional, per un importo massimo complessivo, incluso il sovrapprezzo, di 720 milioni di euro. L’operazione comporterà l’emissione di massime 170 milioni di azioni ordinarie Intesa Sanpaolo, le cosiddette Azioni Scontate, con l’applicazione di uno sconto massimo del 18% sul prezzo di mercato del titolo, calcolato come media dei prezzi osservati nei 30 giorni precedenti alla data di emissione.
Al LECOIP hanno aderito complessivamente 52.863 dipendenti del Gruppo, pari all’83,7% degli aventi diritto. Il controvalore corrispondente alle Free Share e alle Matching Share è pari a circa 167 milioni di euro. Il numero finale di Free Share, Matching Share e Azioni Scontate sarà determinato sulla base della media dei prezzi dell’azione ordinaria IntesaSanpaolo rilevati nei 30 giorni precedenti il 30 giugno 2026, data di emissione. Per le Azioni Scontate sarà inoltre applicato lo sconto definito nel rispetto del limite massimo previsto.
