14 of the injured left by a train crash in Buenos Aires are still interned
Fourteen people remain hospitalized due to the train crash of the San Martín line that occurred the day before in Buenos Aires, whose formations are being withdrawn after the expertise.
Of the 90 people evacuated from the seven cars of the passenger train, the mayor of Buenos Aires, Jorge Macri, said that 20 were yellow code and were discharged, and 30 are red code, of which 14 remain interned.
“We talk about misfortune with luck. There are no misfortunes with luck,” Macri told the media stationed at the scene of the accident, in the capital neighborhood of Palermo, regarding the fact that there were no fatalities.
“Obviously this could have been much more serious if there were passengers in the van; that helped,” but he highlighted the professionalism of the fire service and the Emergency Medical Care System that arrived after half an hour.
The accident occurred this Friday at 10:31 (13:31 GMT), when a formation with passengers collided with a locomotive and an empty van and as a result of the impact 60 people were affected with injuries of different severity.
The incident occurred for causes that are still grounds for investigation, which is being processed in the national criminal and correctional court 11 by judge Julián Ercolini.
The formations affected by the collision are being removed this Saturday after the scientific police carried out the relevant judicial expertise.
The Secretary of Transport of Argentina, Franco Mogetta, said that “there are multiple hypotheses” about the causes of the accident and acknowledged that there were reports of “cable theft.”
The secretary of the train drivers’ union La Fraternidad, Omar Maturano, had declared that “work has been working for approximately ten days without a signal, due to the degradation that exists today on the railroad and the lack of security because the signaling cables are stolen,” and that the route of the trains is made by means of papers or flags.

Brésil : 11 morts et 45 blessés dans un violent accident entre un bus et un camion
Onze personnes ont perdu la vie et quarante-cinq autres ont été blessées lors d’une collision frontale entre un camion de marchandises et un autobus dans le centre-ouest du Brésil, ont annoncé les autorités ce samedi.
L’accident s’est produit vendredi à 21h40, heure locale, sur la route BR-163, près de la localité de Lucas do Rio Verde, dans l’État du Mato Grosso.
Selon la Police routière fédérale (PRF), un autobus reliant la capitale de l’État, Cuiabá, à Sinop est entré en collision frontale avec un camion transportant des graines de coton.
« L’accident a fait 11 morts », a indiqué la PRF dans un communiqué, précisant qu’une enquête est en cours pour déterminer les causes du drame.
Les blessés ont été transportés vers des hôpitaux de la région : 11 sont dans un état grave, 26 présentent des blessures modérées et 8 sont légèrement touchés, selon la police routière.
Le conducteur du camion a subi des blessures modérées.
La société de transport Rio Novo, propriétaire de l’autobus, a confirmé l’accident.
« Notre priorité est de prendre soin des victimes et de leurs familles », a déclaré l’entreprise dans un message publié sur les réseaux sociaux.
Les accidents mortels sont fréquents sur les routes brésiliennes, un pays aux dimensions continentales.
Dimanche dernier, huit personnes avaient trouvé la mort dans une collision impliquant deux voitures et une moto dans l’État de Minas Gerais (sud-est).
En mai, une collision frontale entre une minifourgonnette et un camion avait fait neuf morts et dix blessés, également dans le Minas Gerais.

U.S. doubles bounty on Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro to $50 million
In February, the United States designated eight Latin American criminal organizations as “global terrorist” groups, including Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel, Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua, and the MS-13 gang. In July, it added the Cartel of the Suns to the list — a group Washington claims is led by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
Last Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration doubled the reward for information leading to Maduro’s arrest, raising it from $25 million to $50 million, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on social media platform X.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio explained that labeling the Cartel of the Suns as a terrorist organization allows for a strategic shift in dealing with the Venezuelan regime, as it is now also considered a direct threat to U.S. national security, according to El Espectador.
In an interview with The World Over on EWTN, Rubio said the designation enables the U.S. to “use intelligence agencies, the Department of Defense, or any other element of American power to go after them.” He stressed this is no longer just a law enforcement matter, but a national security operation.
When asked at the White House whether he believes it is worth sending the military to combat Latin American drug cartels, Trump responded:
“Latin America has many cartels, a lot of drug trafficking, so, you know, we want to protect our country. We have to protect it.”

Three injured in early-morning New York City shooting
A shooting in New York City early Saturday morning left three people injured, a police spokesperson told AFP.
The incident occurred at around 1:20 a.m. local time (05:20 GMT) following a dispute. An 18-year-old woman sustained a scratch to the neck, while a 19-year-old man and a 65-year-old man were injured in the lower limbs.
The victims were taken to Bellevue Hospital, where they were reported to be in stable condition.
The alleged shooter was taken into custody at the scene, and a firearm was recovered. As of now, the suspect has not been formally charged.
Videos circulating on social media show scenes of panic among the crowd, though AFP has not been able to verify their authenticity. The incident comes just weeks after another shooting in a Manhattan skyscraper that left four people injured before the gunman took his own life.
