Bus crash in Bolivia kills at least 30 people
More than 30 people have been killed in a bus crash on a mountain road in Bolivia, police say.
The driver likely lost control of the vehicle, causing it to plunge almost 800 meters (2625 ft) in the southwestern district of Yocalla, an officer said.
Fourteen were also injured, including four children, an official from a local hospital said in a video.
Bolivia has notoriously dangerous roads, particularly in mountainous areas.
The accident happened between the cities of Potosi and Oruro, police said.
Officials believe that the crash could have been caused by speeding, with the driver "unable" to control the bus, police colonel Victor Benavides told the AFP news agency.
This is believed to be the most serious road accident reported in the South American country so far this year.
Local news outlet Unitel reported that several of those injured are in a serious condition.
Deadly road accidents are common in Bolivia.
Last month, 19 people were killed when another bus came off a road, also near Potosi.
Road accidents kill an average of 1,400 people every year in the country of about 12 million inhabitants, according to government data.

Coordinated flurry of bombings and gun attacks rock Colombia
Two dozen coordinated bomb and gun attacks killed at least seven people across southwestern Colombia on Tuesday, just days after presidential hopeful Miguel Uribe was shot in the head, sparking fears of a return to the violence of the 1980s and 1990s. Colombia was rocked by a string of 24 coordinated bomb and gun attacks that killed at least seven people across the country's southwest Tuesday, deepening a security crisis roiling the Andean nation. Attackers struck targets in Cali -- the country's third-largest city -- and several nearby towns, hitting police posts, municipal buildings and civilian targets. National Police chief Carlos Fernando Triana said assailants -- suspected to be a local guerrilla group -- had attacked using car bombs, motorcycle bombs, rifle fire and a suspected drone. "There are two police officers dead, and a number of members of the public are also dead," he said. Police later put the toll at seven dead and 28 more injured. In Cali and the towns of Villa Rica, Guachinte and Corinto, AFP journalists witnessed the tangled wreckage of vehicle bombs surrounded by scorched debris and damaged buildings. The attacks came days after a brazen attempted assassination of a presidential candidate in Bogota that has put the country on edge. Many Colombians are now fearful of a return to the violence of the 1980s and 1990s, when cartel attacks, guerrilla violence and political assassinations were commonplace. In the town of Corinto, resident Luz Amparo was at home when the blast gutted her bakery Tuesday.

Argentina's Supreme Court upholds prison sentence for ex-President Cristina Fernández
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina's Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld the 6-year prison sentence on corruption charges for former President Cristina Fernández. The court ruling disqualifies the leader of South American country's opposition movement, known as Peronism, from holding public office. It left Fernández, one of Argentina's most important political figures of the past two decades, at the brink of an arrest by authorities. Fernández governed for eight years after succeeding her husband in 2007. Under her watch, Argentina became notorious for its unbridled state spending and massive budget deficits. She was found guilty by a federal court in 2022 of having committed a millionaire fraud during her presidency through irregular allocation of state funds to a businessman close to her. Fernández had asked the court for a review of the prison sentence in March, which three judges of the high court rejected. Tuesday's court decision means that Fernández will not be able to compete in September for a seat in the legislature in the country's capital, as she had announced. The sentence 'does nothing more than to protect our republican and democratic system,' the court wrote in a resolution provided to The Associated Press. As the ruling was announced, supporters of Fernández and her political movement blocked main roadways into Buenos Aires. Fernández quickly rejected the decision, calling the court justices 'puppets' of those wielding economic power in the country. 'They're three puppets answering to those ruling far above them,' she told supporters outside her party's headquarters in the capital. 'It's not the opposition. It's the concentrated economic power of Argentina's government.' Argentina's far-right President Javier Milei celebrated the ruling, writing in a post on X: 'Justice. Period.' The ruling dealt a blow to Fernández's political movement. She said the day before that even if she is in jail, Peronism will live on in resistance to Milei, whose austerity measures stand in stark contrast to the policies implemented during her leadership. Fernandez's defense is expected to request she serve her sentence in house arrest, given she is over 70 years old. Gregorio Dalbón, one of Fernández's legal representatives, said that 'we are going to take this case to all international human rights organizations: the Inter-American Commission and Court, the UN Human Rights Council' and more. The court case, which began in 2016, centered on 51 public contracts for road works under Fernández and her late husband, former President Néstor Kirchner. The contracts were awarded to companies linked to Lázaro Báez, a convicted construction magnate and friend of the presidential couple, at prices 20% above the standard rate. According to the court, the governments carried out 'an extraordinary fraudulent maneuver' that harmed the interests of the government and resulted in the embezzlement of roughly $70 million, at the current exchange rate. Fernández has questioned the impartiality of the judges and claimed that much of the evidence was gathered outside legal deadlines and that her legal defense didn't have access to it. Fernández also faces a number of other upcoming trials on corruption charges. ____ Associated Press journalists Almudena Calatrava y Débora Rey contributed to this report from Buenos Aires. ____ Follow AP's coverage of Latin America and the Caribbean at
