    On today's podcast... Colombia In Colombia, citizens are organizing themselves to distribute aid in areas affected by the 7.4 magnitude earthquake at the El Campín Stadium in Bogotá, while denouncing the lack of assistance from the government of the far-right pro-US President de la Espriella.  The death toll from the earthquake has now risen to more than 281, with 308,000 injured and 379 people still missing. In the department of El Chocó, more than 13,000 people have been affected, a figure surpassed only by the 36,000 affected in El Valle del Cauca.  Venezuela Venezuelan Acting President Delce Rodríguez and international consortiums have signed agreements aimed at further developing the country's natural gas sector. The President is seeking to attract international capital and technology to revive energy production, increase state revenues, and turn Venezuela into a major gas exporter. Brazil And in Brazil, President Lula launched his electoral campaign in Vila Euclides, in the state of São Paulo, in the southeast of the country.  It was there that, in the late 1970s, metal worker strikes took place, from which Lula emerged as a union leader and began his political career.  Lula continues to lead in the polls ahead of the November presidential election, and he has managed to break a legislative deadlock in Congress over bills that he considers important to his re-election.

    On today's podcast...  Colombia More than 48 hours after the magnitude 7.4 earthquake that struck western Colombia, residents of the Department of Chocó are denouncing the absence of the far-right pro-U.S. government of Abelardo de la Espriella, as well as the lack of international aid, apart from assistance from the United States.  This has led to accusations that foreign aid is being given an ideological character. The death toll has already surpassed 200, while more than 3,000 people have been injured and thousands are reported missing, according to the latest reports from the rescue operation which continues against the clock in search of more people trapped beneath the rubble.  Argentina In Argentina, the far-right pro-U.S. President Javier Milei continues to fail to implement the university funding law.  In response, teaching and non-teaching staff, along with students, are calling for a new mass demonstration, opening another front in the struggle against the libertarian president whose approval ratings continue to fall. According to polls, two out of every three Argentines disapprove of his administration.  Solar eclipse And today in Europe, especially in Spain and France, people are preparing to witness a total solar eclipse this afternoon.  During the totality phase, when the sun will be completely obscured by the moon, darkness will last anywhere from a few seconds to nearly two minutes.

    On today's podcast. Venezuela Venezuela's acting president, Delcey Rodríguez, said in an interview with Time Magazine that her country will hold elections when all national political actors reach an understanding. The leader ruled out the possibility that the electoral process would be supervised by external observers. On the diplomatic front, Venezuela has begun the gradual restoration of diplomatic relations with Chile and Peru, starting with consular services.  Spain The autonomous city of Ceuta, Spain, is on alert following the arrival of a wave of more than 1,500 irregular migrants over the past ten days from Morocco, driven by the economic hardship and insecurity affecting the African region. The mass migration is interpreted as a consequence of decades of exploitation and the pillaging of resources in the migrant countries of origin, the effects of which ultimately impact the former powers that exploit them.  France The wildfires in France and Spain have stabilized in the main affected areas, allowing about 24,000 people to return to their homes in the Madrid region and more than 145,000 in Southwestern France. However, authorities remain on alert due to a new heat wave and several active fire hotspots.

    On today's podcast. Mexico Mexico's president, Claudia Sheinbaum, urge The United States to look at itself over its massive drug consumption, drug distribution, and drug related money laundering within its own territory, issues that she said it neither discusses nor takes responsibility for. The president was referring to remarks made by a far right official in the Trump administration who criticized Mexico. Sheinbaum declined to respond directly, explaining that given the serious domestic drug problem facing The US, which she argued, it wants to wash its hands off by shifting responsibility onto other countries. Such statements are nothing more than part of the government's political rhetoric with fewer than a hundred days remaining before the US midterm elections in which Trump's Republican Party is widely predicted to suffer a decisive defeat. United States In The United States, a Department of Homeland Security Regulation will take effect on September 1, establishing fixed periods of stay for foreign students, academics, and journalists. In the case of foreign journalists, their stay will be limited to two hundred and forty days, requiring frequent renewals for those who permanently cover news and current events in The US.  Europe  In Southern Europe, the beginning this Wednesday of the fourth heat wave of the summer will bring temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius across large areas with highs that could exceed 42 degrees Celsius in parts of Spain and France where wildfires remain out of control.
