Migration in the Americas: Multiple factors drive increase in risky journeys
The US government plans to set up a military base on a territory of Guyana and Venezuela in order to exacerbate the dispute between the two nations and plunder energy resources, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil Pinto said.
"Today, the government of the United States of America seeks to appropriate our oil resources by using Exxon Mobil, which has incorporated the government of Guyana into its ranks. Guyana is granting oil concessions in an undelimited maritime territory, in total violation of international law. Unilateral disposal of a disputed territory is not permissible, but the Republic of Guyana persists in its illegal conduct," he told the 78th session of the #UN General Assembly.
The exceptional episode at the end of winter and the expected temperatures for this week and the next will surpass historical average values for maximum temperatures in all five regions of the country, with a high potential for record-breaking temperatures in September, and perhaps even all-time records.
The intense heat, with temperatures nearing 40°C to 45°C, will impact a large part of the Southeast, Midwest, the interior of the Northeast, Santa Catarina, Paraná, as well as Rondônia, Tocantins, areas in the Central-South of Pará, and part of the #Amazonas region.

Several armed and hooded individuals penetrated the perimeter fence and caused damage to one of the entrances to the Government House in the Chilean capital. The Carabineros (Military Police) intervened, leading to violent clashes.
Thousands of Chileans took to the streets to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the #coup d'état that ended the Government of socialist President Salvador #Allende (1970-1973) and began the dictatorship of Augusto #Pinochet (1973-1990).
According to the Public Ministry of Buenos Aires, these actions are part of the operation 'Allies for Childhood,' led by #Argentina and simultaneously implemented in the #UnitedStates, #Brazil, #Chile, #Ecuador, #Panama, #Paraguay, and #PuertoRico.
"Five people were arrested in Chile, one in Ecuador, and the results from the other involved countries are still awaited," the #Argentine capital's Public Ministry reported.
The investigation was made possible through the use of the investigation system provided by the American platform #Icaccops, used to track the trafficking of child sexual exploitation material on the #internet.
Members of the Operation Underground Railroad (OUR), a U.S. NGO dedicated to combating child trafficking and exploitation, founded by Tim Ballard, a former U.S. Homeland Security special agent portrayed by Jim Caviezel in the movie "Sound of Freedom" (2023), were present at the Public Ministry's monitoring center in Buenos Aires on Monday.
#Iran will soon begin construction of metro lines for the city of #Caracas in #Venezuela.
