REUTERS/Agustin Marcarian/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsBUENOS AIRES, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Argentina may be about to leap into the political unknown. Many blame the political elite and have latched on to Milei's burn-it-all-down rhetoric. That will impact the make-up of Congress, which is being partially renewed and will likely end up fragmented. Many voters, however, appeared resigned to a Milei win - a reflection of how the former television pundit has managed to take hold of the political narrative, leveraging memes and videos online that have resonated with younger voters. "I'm going to vote for Massa, but Milei is going to win," said Stella Buk, 65, who has a book stall at the Parque Centenario fair.

Lately, though, new technology has made hyperrealism easier for humans to achieve, while simultaneously complicating the practice. art generator — one that used randomized machine learning to mimic her reimaginations. It’s a worrying development for any artist, but also one that has made human-engineered hyperrealism even more relevant — us versus the machines.

Pro-Israel demonstrators protest in Times Square on the second day of the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas, in Manhattan in New York City, U.S., October 8, 2023. Thursday's protest in Times Square, organized by the nonprofit Israeli American Council, was expected to draw hundreds of demonstrators and many officials, including New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Plans call for 15 billboards in Times Square to show the faces of people believed to be held hostages and Israeli flags. Ceasefire is the only way to bring hostages home," organizers of Friday's New York rally said on their event page. His administration, facing mounting pressure to secure the release of the hostages, must walk a fine line.

☆ Nicaragua sends Catholic priests to Rome after talks with Vatican

REUTERS/Stringer/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsOct 18 (Reuters) - Nicaragua sent a dozen Catholic priests who had been "processed" by judicial authorities to Rome on Wednesday, the government said, the latest action, a critic said, in a government crackdown on the church. President Daniel Ortega has at times accused Catholic church leaders of seeking to overthrow his government, while judicial authorities have arrested priests and accused some of committing treason, among other crimes. An exiled Nicaraguan researcher who publishes records of what she describes as the persecution of the Catholic Church under Ortega said sending the priests to Rome was a "forced removal." The researcher, Martha Patricia Molina, accused Ortega of seeking to "strangle and disappear" the church with such action. Bishop Rolando Alvarez, perhaps Ortega's most prominent Catholic critic, was this year sentenced to a 26-year jail term on treason charges, but was not among the 12 priests the government sent to Rome.

Israel has responded by pounding Gaza with air strikes, killing thousands, and has said it will act to free the hostages while wiping out Hamas. Hamas has suggested the hostages could be swapped for approximately 6,000 Palestinians held in Israeli prisons. Israel has said that there will be no end to the blockade of the enclave without freedom for Israeli hostages. Israel says the hostages were taken to Gaza but their exact whereabouts within the enclave are unknown, making their rescue more complicated. U.S. President Joe Biden said his administration is "workin’ like hell" to find American hostages held by Hamas.

☆ Argentina braces for election with economy in 'intensive care'

"It is an economy that is in intensive care," Miguel Kiguel, a former undersecretary of finance at the Economy Ministry in the 1990s, told Reuters. "The main challenge is to get Argentina out of stagnation, but to do that you have to lower inflation." J.P. Morgan has estimated inflation will end 2023 at 210%, while a central bank poll of analysts forecast 180%. In a bid to tamp down inflation Argentina's central bank has hiked the benchmark interest rate to 133%, which encourages saving in pesos, but hurts access to credit and economic growth. Milei wants to ditch the peso completely and dollarize the economy, while Bullrich says she favors a dual peso-dollar system.

Those working with his campaign say it is his authenticity that has made him so successful, especially with two-fifths of the population in poverty and looking for a new voice. "You can like him or not, but he is himself," said Fernando Cerimedo, a political consultant who works on Milei's campaign. Many Milei voters say they are willing to take the risk.

[1/3] Simon Rubinstein, 17, casts his first vote ever, in the presidential primary election, in Buenos Aires, Argentina August 13, 2023. Argentina is one of a handful of Latin American countries that allows 16 and 17-year-olds the right to vote. Kremenchuzky, nicknamed "Toto," 17, is part of that teenage electorate. In an August open primary vote, Toto voted for conservative Patricia Bullrich - which he puts down to influence from his parents - but says he could shift his vote in October to Milei if the libertarian convinces him in election debates. However, Milei's conservative social views and promise of sharp cuts to government spending are off-putting to some young voters.

"You have to have a backbone to govern this country," Bullrich, the candidate for the Together for Change coalition, told Reuters at a recent press event. Bullrich is facing front-runner libertarian economist Javier Milei, who is promising more extreme policies, and economy minister Sergio Massa. She also cited the strong political machinery of the conservative coalition. Bullrich, replying to Reuters, said that the coalition - win or lose - would be a strong political force with around 10-11 governors and large presence in Congress. Another voter, 61-year-old retiree Patricia Amalia Rojas, said she backed Bullrich for her tough line on gangs and crime.
