A group photo on the main steps of the legislative complex was the finishing touch that senators put to close the ordinary work of the 65th Legislature.
On a day in which three sessions were held, two of them solemn, there was no shortage of selfies, hugs and good wishes and the promise of several of them to meet at the next one, which will be installed at the end of next August.
First, the legislators celebrated the delivery of the Medal of Honor “Navy of mexico”, corresponding to 2023, to admiral José Rafael Ojeda Durána commitment that had been postponed due to the lack of quorum in previous days, in an attempt to try to stop the amnesty law and the reforms to the protection law.

Rumor Has It That Ukraine Has Run Out…
The number and frequency of Ukrainian soldiers training at US bases in Western Europe has dropped to almost zero in recent months.
This is what US officials shared with the Washington Post. American trainers began training the Ukrainian military in April 2022, with exercises taking place at the Grafenwoehr Training Area in Germany. About 3,100 Ukrainian soldiers were trained by the US by the end of 2022. The program was expanded in January 2023 to train 12 brigades in preparation for Kiev’s summer counteroffensive.
In addition to these 12 brigades, 3 other Ukrainian brigades are trained by other European countries, of which the US side teaches combined arms tactics to a tank battalion, and two Ukrainian national guard battalions. .

But according to unnamed US officials, the last US-trained brigade left the Grafenwoehr Training Area in Germany in January or February. Grafenwoehr is the US’s largest overseas military training facility.
The Washington Post commented that no soldiers were trained in the following months, and this “showed that human resources were drying up” in Ukraine.
Ukraine’s human resource problem has been reported by Western media since the end of 2023.
Japan May Have Carried Out Foreign Exchange Intervention…
It is highly likely that Japan’s monetary authorities were intervening to buy yen in the foreign exchange market early on the 2nd, Japan time, when the yen exchange rate suddenly rose to the 153 yen level to the dollar. There is a large discrepancy between the Bank of Japan’s forecast for the change in current account deposits on the 7th, which was announced on the 2nd, and the market estimate, suggesting that the intervention was a factor.
The results of the settlement of foreign exchange transactions will be reflected in the Bank of Japan’s current account balance forecast on the 7th, if the intervention takes place. The decrease in fiscal and other factors, which reflects foreign exchange intervention, was 4.36 trillion yen. Tokyo Tanshi predicts a decrease of around 700 billion yen, and Ueda Yagi Tanshi predicts a decrease of 1.1 trillion yen, and the scale of the intervention is estimated to be approximately 3.5 trillion yen, the difference from the average.
Yuichiro Takai, a researcher at Totan Research, pointed out, “The downturn in figures for fiscal and other factors was large, and it seems highly likely that the government carried out an intervention to buy yen worth around 3 trillion yen.” While there was some speculation that the exchange rate was carried out at a time when the foreign exchange market was weak,

The institution of touching the Olympic Flame may have been established in 1936 at the Berlin Olympics, but its origins lie in Ancient Greece. According to tradition, the king of Ilid, Ifitos, together with the kings of Sparta, Lycurgus, and of Pisa, Cleosthenes, at the beginning of the 8th century BC. century, they established common worship next to the temple of Zeus in Olympia, at the same time holding athletic competitions every four years.
As Plutarch mentions, the aim of this event was, during these Games, to establish the Olympic Truce and to enforce, as long as they last, peace. They even asked Zeus to grant peace to all peoples and to crown the winners of the holy fight.
Then, during the Olympic Games, in Ancient Olympia, the touching of the Olympic Flame took place in the form of a religious ceremony. The touch was done by the priest and the athlete who received the torch handed it to the next one, so that it would reach the altar unextinguished, as long as the Games lasted.
In 1936, the Nazi regime, in an effort to stage the Berlin Olympics with pomp and propagandize Hitler’s ideas,

Drought Reveals Lost 300-Year-Old City In Philippines
#Drought #Reveals #Lost #300YearOld #City #Philippines
Manila –
The phenomenon of scorching hot weather in the Philippines has caused a large dam in the country to dry up, revealing the ruins of a nearly 300 year old city.
The city of Pantabangan was sunk in the 1970s for the sake of building a reservoir. In rare extreme situations when the weather is dry and hot the city rises from the surface of the water.
The re-emergence of Pantabangan City occurred because almost half of the Philippines was hit by drought in several areas, with temperatures reaching their highest point.
Marlon Paladin, an expert from the government agency that operates the dam, told AFP that since the dam was built, this is the longest time the lost city has been above water

The Convenient Condescension Of MEP Vitanov 2024-05-02 14:51:19
/ world today news/ A few days ago, it was two years since the European Parliament elections. On May 26, 2019, it became clear that the BSP is bringing in four MEPs. A little later, on June 8, “Positano” 20 reported that the chairman of the group of Bulgarian Eurosocialists will be the young left-wing hopeful Petar Vitanov, who developed themes during the election campaign, that the centenarian is determined to implement a policy with which to defend our national interests, to fight for the rights of Bulgarian citizens and to look for mechanisms to impose real left-wing and social policies in the European Parliament.
In one of his first interviews with BNT on August 4, 2019, already as head of the group of Eurosocialists, Vitanov explained that for citizens in the EU, “the European Parliament is something distant and abstract, connected with a huge bureaucracy and bureaucracy.” Then he stated that the European administrative apparatus, which takes nearly 8% of the EU budget, should be reduced. Of course, this did not happen and the reason is not specifically in Vitanov, but two years later we do not hear that he is against the fact that these 8% of Europeans are absorbed by the bloated bureaucracy,
Highway Collapse Tragedy In China: Death Toll Rises…
Recent heavy rainfall in China’s Guangdong province has led to a tragic highway collapse, with the death toll currently standing at 48 people. The incident occurred on Wednesday at 2:10 a.m. local time when a section of the Meizhou-Dabu Expressway collapsed due to the torrential rain.
The collapse caused 23 vehicles to plummet down the steep slope below, resulting in numerous fatalities and injuries. As of Thursday morning, 36 people have died and 30 individuals have been injured; fortunately, the injuries are reported as not life-threatening.
Rain hinders rescue efforts
Prompted by this devastating event, President Xi Jinping has called for swift action in rescue work and treatment of the injured while addressing risks and hidden dangers efficiently.
However, ongoing heavy rain has made search operations challenging for rescue workers on site. To make matters worse, gravel and soil continuously fall from above due to unstable ground conditions caused by excessive rainfall.
CCTV footage shows excavators diligently clearing debris as a crane aids in removing burnt and wrecked vehicles from crushed sections of the highway. Over 500 individuals have been deployed to support these demanding rescue efforts.
The provincial government has mobilized elite specialized forces with an unwavering commitment toward search-and-rescue activities during this critical time.
