See you, Bei Bei ... the giant panda moves to China. What did the witnesses say in the second round of public hearings of Congress over the process of political trial against Trump? In addition: a vegan sues Burger King for the "Impossible Whopper", and Luis Enrique is once again the coach of the Spanish soccer team. This is what you should know to start the day. First the truth.
1. A month of riots in Bolivia
The violence does not stop at the end of a month after the start of the protests in Bolivia, where on Tuesday there were three deaths and at least 25 injured, as confirmed by Defense Minister Fernando López. According to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, 23 people have died since the political and social crisis broke out in Bolivia.
After the October 20 elections, the Supreme Electoral Court declared Evo Morales the winner for the fourth consecutive time. But the clamor of fraud broke out in the streets of Bolivia. The pressure of several fronts ended in the resignation of Morales to the presidency and his departure to Mexico, whose government granted him political asylum.
Subsequently, the controversial swearing in of Jeanine Áñez as interim president happened. A month after the start of the political crisis in Bolivia, protests, violence and food shortages remain in force in the country.
2. New key testimony at investigation hearings against Trump
The turn in the hearings of the process of political trial against Trump was now for four key people in the investigation by the July 25 telephone call with the President of Ukraine. One of the most relevant testimonies was that of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, an advisor to the National Security Council, who said he knew of a “false narrative” about Ukraine before the communication between Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, and condemned the 'reprehensible' attacks to the witnesses of the political trial.
Then it was the turn of Jennifer Williams, adviser to Vice President Mike Pence; Kurt Volker, former US Special Envoy to Ukraine and Tim Morrison, former advisor to the National Security Council, specializing in Russia and Europe. This was what they said at the public hearings.
3. Border closure in Colombia
Migration Colombia announced the temporary closure of all land and river border crossings with Ecuador, Peru, Brazil and Venezuela to "guarantee full normality in the development of the marches" convened for this Thursday. The measure, which will run from midnight on Wednesday until 5:00 AM on Friday, will be applied at 12 immigration checkpoints. The so-called General Unemployment has been convened by various political, union, student and indigenous sectors against the government, which reported preventive measures to prevent demonstrations from resulting in disorders.
4. Constitutional accusation against Piñera
A group of opposition deputies filed a constitutional accusation against the president of Chile, Sebastián Piñera, whom he accuses of responsibility in “the serious and systematic violations of human rights committed by State agents in the last month”.
The document was delivered to Congress after a month of social protests was held on Monday in the southern country, where protesters criticize the government for the high cost of living and demand a new Constitution.
CNN contacted the presidency in Chile, which chose not to comment.
5. 9,700 square kilometers less than Amazonia in a year
The deforestation rate in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest has risen to its highest level in 11 years, according to data from the Brazilian Government, which warns that around 9,762 square kilometers of rainforest were lost from July 2018 to July 2019.
