09:30and throughout the country in rejection of these government vetoes
09:35And we stay in Argentina because the governors were also denouncing the government's vetoes
09:46on the Treasury allocation for provinces' law
09:49According to President Milley, the law undermines fiscal balance
09:52and distorts the fund's emergency purpose
09:54insisting on executive discretion to address federalism-bearing needs
09:59The executive order was forwarded to the Senate for review
10:03where lawmakers can override the veto with a two-thirds majority
10:07The law is a congressional measure aimed at allocating emergency funds from the Treasury
10:14to all the provinces in the country
10:16The governors emphasized that the provinces expect concrete answers
10:21and not just pictures for electoral purposes
10:28And in Brazil, after former President Jair Bolsonaro was convicted for attempted coup
10:34hundreds of citizens took to the streets to celebrate
10:37across the South American country

10:43and defending democracy, citizens asserted that this conviction marks the end of a threatening and authoritarian cycle in the country
10:53Supporters of President Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva viewed the conviction as a necessary measure
10:58to protect democracy and ensure that no one is above the law
11:03So, today's conviction reflects what we're feeling
11:13not only a sense of justice, but also hope for a sovereign future for Brazil
11:17Above all, it shows that by defending democracy
11:20starting from the defense of democracy
11:22we can achieve a truly beautiful national project for our country
11:25And we go now to Barcelona as thousands went out into the streets
11:31in defense of their independence in the Autonomous Communities National Day
11:37The demonstration was attended by more than 20,000 people
11:41who waved banners and chanted independent slogans calling for cessation from Spain
11:46Despite the large numbers of participants, the separatist movement faces internal divisions
11:51due to the controversial proposal by the far-right party Catalan Alliance
11:56This mobilization comes amidst a wide-ranging debate within Spain on the independence of Catalonia
12:02divided between those who insist on self-determination
12:06and those who call for the strengthening of dialogue with the Spanish state

13:18while there are still 36 unidentified bodies at the Tribuan University Hospital in Kathmandu
13:26Nepal faced the social crisis after the government blocked 26 social media platforms last Tuesday
13:32a measure which ignited the frustration that had built up after corruption scandals that were spread by destabilizing groups
