This week at least 91 heads of state meet in New York at the 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). US President Donald Trump said he would talk about Iran and the economy in his speech on Tuesday. The president refused to say if the pressure on Tehran would increase. "Many things are happening with respect to Iran, much more than they know," he said.
2. Trump, Biden and Ukraine
President Donald Trump acknowledged that he spoke about former Vice President Joe Biden in a call in July with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky. Democrats have called for Trump's contact with the foreign leader to be investigated. White House officials are considering publishing a transcript of Trump's call with Zelensky, according to several CNN sources. However, some senior officials, such as the Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, and the Secretary of the Treasury, Steven Mnuchin, are against the idea because of the precedent it would set for other foreign leaders, and because it could open the way for the Congress asks for transcripts of Trump's calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin. On the possible publication of the transcript of the conversation he had with his Ukrainian colleague, Trump said: "Maybe they see it, maybe not."
3. Remittances, the salvation of some Mexican families
For many Mexicans living abroad, sending remittances is the only opportunity to get ahead, given the failure of the policies of the governments of the day. Its importance reaches such a degree that, thanks to those dollars that a person or a family receives, domestic consumption has attenuated the effects of the economic slowdown. But far from making the country proud, this indicator reflects that many Mexicans are forced to leave their homeland in search of better opportunities. Look in these graphs how the sending of remittances to Mexico has grown in recent years.

Women suffer “disproportionately” sexual extortion in Latin America and the Caribbean
Across the hemisphere, corruption is the protagonist of the daily news: bribes to police, corruption at the government and electoral level, the great Odebrecht scandal that affected several countries in the region, among others. However, the 10th edition of the Global Corruption Barometer in Latin America and the Caribbean - with data obtained in the first quarter of 2019 -, of the NGO Transparency International, reveals for the first time a more everyday and less obvious facet of corruption : sexual extortion. "The results reveal that women are more likely to pay bribes for health services and public education, while men tend to pay bribes to the police, for basic services and identity documents," the document reveals. The report estimates that one in five people experienced sexual extortion or knows someone who went through that situation.
