My faith was huge,” said the 46-year-old woman, fearing her son would be forcibly recruited by a criminal organization. For many migrants like Hernández, their faith has been essential for coping with their challenging circumstances. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said in early October that about 10,000 migrants per day were heading to the U.S. border.

After finishing a surprising first in Argentina’s presidential primaries in August, Javier Milei grabbed a microphone in front of a raucous crowd and thanked Conan, Murray, Milton, Robert and Lucas. “My four-legged children.”Mr. Milei, a far-right libertarian who is the favorite in Argentina’s presidential election on Sunday, would head to the country’s presidential offices, the Casa Rosada, not with a spouse and children, but with five mastiffs he has long called his children. Technically speaking, however, those five dogs are not traditional offspring of any animal. They are genetic copies of Mr. Milei’s former dog, also named Conan, and were created in a laboratory in upstate New York. Mr. Milei’s five cloned dogs have become objects of fascination in Argentina’s presidential election and a window into his unusual candidacy.

"We are sending air force transport planes to carry out the evacuation of Poles currently staying in Israel. Soldiers from our special forces will ensure loading protection and safety on board," Duda wrote on X social media platform. Defence Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said Poland was sending two C-130 Hercules planes to evacuate some 200 Poles from Ben Gurion Airport. It would add more planes if necessary or liaise with Greece to ferry Polish citizens to the Mediterranean country before bringing them home on Casa transport planes.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Growing up on the border between Mexico and the United States, Becky G spoke English, but sang corridos, boleros and mariachi in Spanish. All her life, she dreamed of an album that would honor her family’s roots and delve into those genres that she enjoys so much. Since childhood, she had talked with her grandparents about a project "totally inspired by regional Mexican music.” She decided it was finally time to focus on that project after the death of her grandfather Miguel, to whom she dedicated the track. “This project has a lot of content that is very personal,” she said of the visuals accompanying the album. Another of her inspirations is the bolero trio Los Panchos for the song “Los Astros”.

Like blue jean makers and handbag designers, developers have long understood the power of a label, and today in nearly every major city, homeowners can shop residences from well-known hospitality brands like Four Seasons, Aman and Ritz-Carlton.

The Hollywood strikes thrust Parrot Analytics, which measures film and TV demand, into the spotlight. Parrot Analytics, a decade-old research firm, has in recent years built a complicated reputation in Hollywood with its proprietary system for measuring audience interest in films and TV shows. As streaming consumption skyrocketed and companies like Netflix kept audience data under wraps, Parrot offered one of the few apples-to-apples measurements across different series and films. Some producers and agents say Parrot has brought much-needed transparency to content measurement. "Parrot Analytics would reward quite a few shows that weren't the most viewed shows in America," he wrote.

She grudgingly takes Ken (a perfectly doltish Ryan Gosling) with her, and in the real world he discovers the concept of patriarchy.

REUTERS/Agustin MarcarianBUENOS AIRES, July 21 (Reuters) - Argentina's financial crisis, which has been marked by exchange rate volatility and soaring inflation, should start abating in November and December, with large foreign currency inflows from the wheat harvest, cabinet chief Agustin Rossi told Reuters on Friday. Argentina's prolonged financial crisis has been aggravated by a ferocious drought that reduced crucial agricultural exports by an estimated $20 billion this year. "(Inflation) does not go down with abrupt devaluation... We do not believe that this is necessary in Argentina," Rossi said. "We are optimistic, we believe that we will find a way," Rossi said of the IMF talks.
