Four people were killed and about 70 injured on Sunday when part of a stand collapsed at a bullring in the town of El Espinal, Colombia, provincial officials said.
Videos posted on social media showed the section of the stand toppling forward into the ring, where locals were participating in a bull-running event tied to the feast day of Saint Peter and Saint Paul.
According to Tolima provincial governor, Jose Ricardo Orozco, there are four dead at this moment – two women, a man and a minor.
“Eight boxes collapsed structurally, you can already see that it is a wood structure”, said civil defence emergency technician Jorge Luna.
Around 70 people were injured during the collapse.
According to local authorities, ambulances were sent from the nearby cities of Ibague and Melgar to help the injured, who have overwhelmed El Espinal’s hospital.
An Indonesian villager captured a crocodile measuring more than four metres using a rope fearing it might threaten the lives and livelihoods of himself and his neighbours.
Avideo of Usman, who like many Indonesians has only one name, and his son wrangling the massive crocodile using a thin rope on Saturday went viral in Indonesia.
According to the 53-year-old villager, the crocodile had been roaming around his village, Ambau Indah in South Sulawesi province for at least two days before he decided to take action.
“If we had left it, it would have come onto land and we wouldn’t be able to go into the rice fields. It could be dangerous. There are also gutters around the road here, places where locals fish. It would be dangerous if it crawls up the gutter. I had to take a chance,” he said.
The crocodile was found to be 4.3 metres by the local Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA). BKSDA staff loaded the gigantic crocodile onto the back of a truck to take it away to be released back into the wild in a less populated area.
An estimated 1,000 Volkswagen Beetles drove through the streets of Mexico City on Sunday showing their love for the classic vehicle.
The 13th annual edition of the Beetle parade, organised by different fan clubs in the Mexican capital, commemorates the celebration of the popular vehicle on June 22.
The “bug,” or “vocho,” as the Beetle was nicknamed, debuted in 1938 as an affordable vehicle commissioned by Adolf Hitler to promote car ownership among Germans.
With its recognisable design and inexpensive price, the car became a success story over subsequent decades and was one of the top-selling models of all time as well as the best-selling import in the United States in the 1960s, according to auto publications.
Despite its place in popular culture, sales of the Beetle had been lacklustre in recent years. The German automaker announced in 2018 that the Beetle would go extinct.
“It is something that will never be repeated, no car is going to take its place,” VW Beetle enthusiast, Roberto Martinez told Reuters.
The United States aims to raise $200 billion in private and public funds over five years to fund needed infrastructure in developing countries under a G7 initiative aimed at countering China’s multitrillion-dollar Belt and Road project, U.S. President Joe Biden said at the G7 on Sunday.
Biden unveiled the plans, flanked by other Group of Seven leaders, some of whom have already unveiled their own separate initiatives, at their annual gathering being held this year in southern Germany.
Increasingly worried about China, G7 leaders first floated plans for the project last year, and are formally launching it now under a fresh title, “Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment” while dropping the moniker “Build Back Better World” first coined by Biden during his presidential campaign.
Biden unveiled several specific projects at a G7 side event, joined by leaders from Britain, Germany, Japan, the European Union and Canada, vowing to focus on projects that help tackle climate change as well as improve global health, gender equity and digital infrastructure.
The funds would be raised through grants and federal funds, and by leveraging private-sector investments, Biden said, adding that hundreds of billions of additional dollars could come from multilateral development banks, development finance institutions, sovereign wealth funds and others.
China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) scheme, which Chinese President Xi Jinping launched in 2013, involves development and investment initiatives in over 100 countries, with a range of projects including railways, ports and highways.
On Sunday evening the G7 leaders gathered for the last working session of the day at the secluded Castle Elmau in the south of Germany. Throughout the day leaders have demonstrated and praised the unity of the group. They announced to mobilise 600 billion dollars from the G7 by 2027 for infrastructure and sustainable development initiatives and stressed they wanted “to show the world that democracies, when they work together, provide the single best path to deliver results for our people and people all over the world”, as President of EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen said earlier in the day.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo said on Sunday he will urge his Russian and Ukrainian counterparts to open room for dialogue during a peace-building mission to the countries because “war has to stop and the global food chains need to be reactivated”.
Speaking before leaving to attend the G7 summit in Germany, where Widodo was invited as the G20 rotating president, he said he will also urge Russia’s Vladimir Putin to order an immediate ceasefire.
Widodo said he will travel to both Ukraine and Russia, without providing specific details of his trip.
The conflict has caused major disruption to supply chains, stoking a food and energy crisis that has seen inflation soar in many countries, some of which have imposed export curbs to preserve domestic supplies.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump celebrated on Saturday the U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning the half-century-old Roe v. Wade precedent that recognized women’s constitutional right to abortion.
Speaking at a rally in Illinois, Trump called the decision a “victory for the Constitution, a victory for the rule of law and above all, a victory for life.”
Trump’s comments came as hundreds of protesters descended on the U.S. Supreme Court to denounce the ruling.
The sweeping ruling by the court, with a 6-3 conservative majority, was set to alter American life, with nearly half the states considered certain or likely to ban abortion.
Conservative Justice Clarence Thomas suggested the court’s reasoning could also lead it to reconsider past rulings protecting the right to contraception, legalizing gay marriage nationwide, and invalidating state laws banning gay sex.
For Christian conservatives who had long fought to overturn Roe, Friday’s ruling was a cherished win and in part the result of a long campaign for installing anti-abortion justices to the top court. The ruling had the support of all three justices appointed by Trump.

As the day progressed, the number of demonstrators outside the Supreme Court increased substantially. The fenced-off area in front of the high court was filled largely with those demanding abortion rights.
President Joe Biden, who had harsh words on Friday for the Supreme Court’s decision, said on Saturday that the White House will monitor how states enforce bans, with administration officials having already signaled they plan to fight attempts to prohibit a pill used for medication abortion.
The White House said it also would challenge any efforts by states to restrict women’s ability to travel out of their home state to seek an abortion.
