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”.

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.

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.

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.
