01:20According to the data, Orsi manages to gather support among voters of the ruling parties
01:24and from outside the two blocs, while Delgado does not gain the loyalty of all voters of
01:29the Republican coalition.
01:31The survey maintains Orsi has favored to win the second round, although now the distance
01:35between the candidates is smaller than the one registered before the October elections.
01:47In Lima, Peru, more than 13,000 police officers are on the way to the United Nations summit.

02:48population census, was the only of 168 countries to vote against a resolution that seeks to
02:55strengthen the rights of indigenous communities in areas such as justice, environment and
03:01preservation of ancestral languages and traditions.
03:04The resolution, denied by the government of Javier Millet, establishes that indigenous
03:08peoples are entitled to the full enjoyment of the human rights and fundamental freedoms
03:12recognized in the United Nations Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
03:16and international human rights standards, like the right to non-discrimination and self-determination.

04:32day of his return to the White House.
04:34In New York City, thousands of people gathered in the vicinity of Trump Tower and walked
04:39through the streets and avenues showcasing their dissatisfaction with the deportation
04:43post of the White House.
04:45In this context, in the city of Los Angeles, a crowd made mainly of women of Mexican origin
04:50marched against the deportation of undocumented immigrants, arguing that if this new policy
04:55is implemented, more than 10 million people will be severely affected.

05:11undocumented people.

05:16for there to be something beneficial.

06:26constitute an extension of the genocidal war of displacement against the Palestinian people.
06:31The foreign ministry further denounced such statements as a persistent disregard for international
06:36legitimacy, UN resolutions, and the international consensus reached on the two-state solution.

11:38Throughout the six-day exhibition, the most advanced military aircraft and defense systems,
11:43including the new J-35A stealth fighter, will be on display.
11:54This year's air show is probably the most grand one since the pandemic.
11:58The entire flight performance, especially the J-10C's performance, is much more complex in terms of aerobatics than before.
12:10I had only seen this on live stream before, and this is my first time watching it in person.
12:17The impact of watching it on the scene is totally different from watching it on TV or in short videos.
12:23I deeply felt the strength of our country, very impressed.
