Strong explosion recorded at Ubinas volcano in Peru
July 4 |
Peru’s Ubinas volcano recorded this Tuesday an explosion of a height of 5,500 meters above the base of the crater, which is the first since 2019, while authorities announced that they will soon declare an emergency in the region of Moquegua.
The Geological, Mining and Metallurgical Institute (Ingemmet) reported that the explosion occurred at 03H17 (local time), meanwhile, noted that the volcano presents internal activity associated with the movement of fluids and fracturing.
The entity pointed out that the ash expelled is advancing towards the south and southwest, which will affect the localities of Querapi, Ubinas, Sacohaya, Anascapa, San Miguel, Tonohaya, Huatahua, Huarina, Escacha and Matalaque, belonging to the Ubinas valley.
For his part, the Prime Minister, Alberto Otárola, confirmed to the national media that “an emergency will be declared in these days in order to take the necessary measures for prevention”.
In this sense, the premier pointed out that around the volcano there are about 2,000 people living in the vicinity of the volcano while he emphasized that they are receiving masks to minimize the effects on their health.
“I believe that we can take care of the health of these people through these preventive measures (…) We are taking care of these phenomena and we are always coordinating in an assertive way with all the institutions to face them”, he emphasized.
The Ubinas valley, located in the southern region of Peru, integrates seven volcanoes located in a volcanic strip that reaches the north of Chile.

Trump to sign executive order recognizing only two sexes
Donald Trump will sign an executive order instructing his administration to “recognize” the existence of only “two sexes,” future White House officials announced on Monday, just before the Republican’s inauguration.
“What we are doing today is defining that the policy of the United States is to recognize two sexes: male and female,” said the official, speaking to the press on the condition of anonymity.
The aim of the decree is “to defend women against the ideological extremism of gender and to restore biological truth within the Federal Government,” the official added, explaining that a person’s sexual identity will be defined solely by the gametes they possess.
During his campaign, Trump repeatedly promised to put an end to the “transgender delusion.”
The elected president also plans to eliminate federal funding for programs supporting diversity in the administration, the same officials from his incoming cabinet stated.
“We are going to end this type of funding, we are going to put an end to these programs,” said one source from the future team, speaking anonymously about antiracism and diversity training courses.

Pope Francis hopes Trump will build a more just society free of hatred
Pope Francis expressed his hope that the elected president of the United States, Donald Trump, who will take office on Monday, will contribute to a “more just” society with “no room for hatred.”
“Inspired by the ideals of the nation, land of opportunities and refuge for all, I hope that under your leadership, the American people will thrive and commit to building a more just society in which there is no place for hatred, discrimination, or exclusion,” the Pope wrote in a message directed to Trump and published by the Vatican.
“At the same time, as our human family faces numerous challenges, not to mention the scourge of war, I ask God to guide your efforts in promoting peace and reconciliation among peoples,” the Argentine pontiff added.
“With these sentiments, I invoke upon you, your family, and the beloved American people the abundance of divine blessings,” he concluded.
Pope Francis criticized Trump’s plans to massively deport irregular migrants on Sunday, calling them a “disgrace.”

Trump to sign over 200 executive orders, declaring National Emergency at U.S.-Mexico Border
Donald Trump will sign over 200 executive orders this Monday, including declaring a national emergency at the southern U.S. border and designating Mexican drug cartels as terrorists on his first day as president, according to U.S. network Fox News.
A senior administration official familiar with the executive actions Trump will sign, and who was authorized to inform the media according to Fox News, said that the president will sign multiple “omnibus” executive orders, each containing dozens of significant actions.
The source indicated that Trump will declare a national border emergency, order the U.S. military to work with the Department of Homeland Security to fully secure the southern border, and make it a national priority to eliminate all criminal cartels operating on U.S. soil. This version of the emergency declaration had previously been reported by CNN News and was also confirmed to The Wall Street Journal on Sunday.
According to Fox News, Trump will close the border to all undocumented foreign nationals through a proclamation. He will also create task forces for national security protection, working with officials from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and other agencies to “completely eradicate the presence of criminal cartels.”
