Arepas have been found in Central and South American homes for centuries for good reason. These satisfying corn cakes are versatile and delicious.

The appeals court ruled that a lower court had considered Peters's personal beliefs when deciding upon a punishment, thereby rendering the sentence improper.

Cepeda emphasizes that he is not competing against other candidates like Abelardo de La Espriella or Paloma Valencia, but rather against former president Alvaro Uribe Velez.

CFTC failing already a solid bet. Government says tariff refund system 40 percent to 80 percent complete which is quite the spread. Almost a they're just making stuff up kind of estimate.

Marielle Franco, 38, was a city councillor in the city of Rio de Janeiro, just one year into her term. She was considered an up-and-coming member of the left-wing Socialism and Liberty Party. A Black woman from the favelas—Brazil's densely populated, low-income neighbourhoods—Franco was best known for campaigning for the rights of LGBTQ people, racial minorities and women.

I believe that if Maduro has to be trialled, he has to be trialled in his country, not trialled abroad, Lula said in an interview, emphasising that what matters now is to re-establish democracy in Venezuela. It has to be solved by the people of Venezuela, and not by foreign interference, said Lula, citing a history of US-backed dictatorships in Latin America, including Chile, Argentina and Uruguay.

Every Sunday in Bogota, streets across the city are closed to cars and transformed into urban parks. Shirtless rollerbladers with boomboxes drift leisurely in figures of eight, Lycra-clad cyclists zoom downhill and young children wobble nervously as they pedal on bikes for the first time. This is perhaps the most visible component of a multipronged plan to clean up the Colombian capital's air.

Colombia's government has announced it will resume peace talks with the powerful Gulf Clan, also known as the Gaitanist Self-Defence Forces (ECG), after the criminal group expressed concern about a recent deal with the United States. Tuesday's announcement addresses a temporary suspension the Gulf Clan announced earlier this month, in the wake of a meeting between Colombian President Gustavo Petro and his US counterpart, Donald Trump.

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Trump administration to make arrangements to allow some of the Venezuelan migrants deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador to return to the U.S. at the government's expense. The case has been a legal flashpoint in the administration's sweeping immigration crackdown. It started in March after President Donald Trump invoked the 18th century Alien Enemies Act to send Venezuelan migrants accused of being gang members to a mega-prison known as the Terrorism Confinement Center, or CECOT.

The magistrate ordered on Thursday that former President Jair Bolsonaro, a retired army captain, be transferred to the maximum-security prison complex in Papuda, also in the Brazilian capital. The far-right politician will initially be placed in a wing designated for military personnel and officials, but will first undergo a medical examination to determine if he should be transferred to the prison hospital.

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Trump administration to facilitate the return to the United States of people it deported to El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center, or CECOT, ruling that the government violated their due process rights and must now begin to remedy the consequences of those removals. The order, issued by D.C. U.S. District Chief Judge James E. Boasberg, arises from a class action brought by Venezuelan migrants who were deported in March 2025 under a presidential proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act.

Hours after U.S. forces seized Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, from their home in Caracas, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on X that Maduro would soon "face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts." Bondi's wording aside-typically lawyers understand the legal system as dispensing impartial justice, not "wrath" -the post underscores the administration's claim that the Venezuelan invasion was justified because the United States was arresting a criminal defendant who has been charged with drug trafficking.

At the Simon Bolivar International Bridge, which spans the Tachira River separating Colombia and Venezuela near the border city of Cucuta, vehicle and foot traffic flowed normally on Monday despite an increased military presence, which included three parked Colombian M1117 armoured security vehicles. But with United States President Donald Trump threatening more attacks if newly sworn-in interim leader Delcy Rodriguez does not behave, an uneasy calm has settled over the border region, and Colombia is preparing for the worst.

David Lammy's plans to introduce judge-only criminal trials in England and Wales will save less than 2% of time in crown courts, the Institute for Government (IFG) has said. In a report that casts doubt on the ability of the changes, which will slash the number of jury trials to achieve their goal of wiping out the courts' backlog, the thinktank described the gains from judge-only trials as marginal.
