Un pique mortal en los túneles de la M-30 que provocó la muerte de un conductor que nada tenía que ver

Thousands gathered in Kabul for the final match of Afghanistan's annual buzkashi championship, a traditional equestrian sport involving riders competing to score points with a weighted bundle. The event, held on the outskirts of Kabul, drew crowds that included high-ranking Taliban officials. Horsemen from across Afghanistan and eight international participants from Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan competed in the 11-day tournament. Sar-e-Pul province emerged victorious, defeating Badakhshan 7-0, while Baghlan secured third place. The tournament, sponsored by a petrol company, awarded automobiles as prizes to the top four teams. Buzkashi, once prohibited by the Taliban, has experienced a revival and continues to be played with the attendance of government officials.

Brazilian President Lula da Silva threatened to abandon the long-awaited EU-Mercosur trade deal after Italy joined France in seeking a delay. The deal, aimed at creating the world's largest free-trade area, has been in development for over two decades. Lula stated that Brazil has conceded all reasonable diplomatic points and will not pursue further agreements under his presidency if this deal fails. The EU had hoped to finalize the agreement, allowing increased exports of vehicles and machinery to Latin America, while Mercosur countries would export agricultural products to Europe. France and Italy are hesitant due to concerns about protecting their agricultural sectors, seeking further safeguards before committing to the agreement.
