00:50The House of Representatives orders the arrest and detention of Michael Young, former Presidential

00:54Economic Advisor of Rodrigo Duterte, for failing to attend legislative hearings.

01:00House Committee on Dangerous Drugs Chairperson Surigao Del Norte Rep. Ace Barbers says House

01:05Secretary General Reginald Velasco already signed the contempt order against Young.

01:10Barbers also says Young is in Dubai, and the House will coordinate with the Foreign Affairs

01:15Department and the Bureau of Immigration to alert countries about Young's pending arrest.

01:20Young was cited in contempt on July 10 for his failure to attend the House panel's hearings.

01:25The country's legislative chambers have the power to order the arrest and detention of

01:29individuals who are cited in contempt.

01:32Young has been invited by the House panel for his alleged involvement in a P3.6 billion

01:37peso drug bust in Mexico's Pampanga in 2023.

01:42Former Senator Sonny Trillanes files a drug smuggling complaint against Davao City 1st

01:47Rep. Paulo Duterte and Mance Carpio, the husband of Vice President Sara Duterte.

01:53Trillanes tags Duterte and Carpio in the P6.4 billion peso shabu haul in Valenzuela City

01:58in 2017 through the testimony of Mark Ruben Taguba.

02:03Taguba allegedly facilitated the entry of the shabu shipment and breezed through the

02:07rigorous process of the customs due to the influence and protection of the so-called

02:11Davao Group.

02:13There are other respondents in Trillanes' complaint.

02:18Aside from the drug complaint, Trillanes also sues the respondents for graft.

02:23He argues Duterte and Carpio are liable for corruption.

02:27Based on Taguba's testimony, the two bribed P5 million as enrollment fee and an additional

02:32P1 million advance weekly remittance.

02:35Duterte says he welcomes the complaint.

02:39At least 11 people are killed in different parts of Venezuela as protests escalate following

02:44the results of the elections last Sunday, July 28.

02:48Protesters march and wave flags, demanding President Nicolás Maduro acknowledge he lost

02:52the election to the opposition.

02:55Maduro's government denounces the protests as an attempted coup.

02:59Venezuela's electoral authority declared Monday Maduro won a third term with 51% of votes.

03:05But the opposition says its candidate, Edmundo González, had more than twice as many votes

03:10as Maduro based on the 90% of vote tallies it's been able to access.

03:15It also considers the election body to be in the pocket of Maduro's dictatorial government.

03:20Maduro and his top legislative ally accuse González and opposition firebrand Maria Corina

03:25Machado of fomenting violence.

03:29Simone Biles inches her fifth Olympic gold medal at the Paris Games, reinforcing her

03:34status as one of the world's greatest athletes.

03:42gold in the women's team event with dazzling performances on all four apparatus.

03:48The United States finishes with a total of 171.296, an impressive 5.802 points ahead

03:54of second-placed Italy.

03:56Biles competed with her left calf taped after suffering a muscle strain.

04:01She was surprised to hear from a reporter that she has now won a jaw-dropping 38 world

04:05and Olympic medals.

04:06I'm doing what I love and enjoying it, so that's really all that matters to me.

04:11Yes, it's amazing, but I don't think I'll truly understand the depth of it until I walk

04:18away from the sport.

04:22The Philippines' medal chances continue to diminish as Tokyo Boxing bronze winner Yumir

04:27loses his men's 80-kilogram opening bout due to a strong opponent and an untimely injury.

04:33Fellow boxer and Olympic debutant Hergy Bakyadan, meanwhile, is outclassed by China's top-seeded

04:38Li Qian at the women's 75-kilogram ranks.

04:43Swimmer Kaila Sanchez, although eliminated from the women's 100-meter freestyle semifinal,

04:48sets a new Philippine record of 53.67 seconds in the qualifying phase.

04:54Reigning silver medalist Neste Pateso and fellow boxer Ira Villegas also hope to build

04:59momentum on their strong starts alongside star gymnast Carlos Yulo, who has three strong

05:04medal chances left to pursue.

05:07Medal dreams are also far from over for men's boxing 52-kilogram silver medalist Carlo Paalam,

05:13who rose to the 57-kilogram quarterfinals after trouncing his Irish foe Jude Gallagher.

05:21And that's today's wrap.
