After 34 days and following the departure of Radamel Falcao García, the 'Ambassador' returns to the fields to face the third date of the domestic tournament, since their matches in the first two rounds were postponed.

‘Betty La Fea' Season 2 Gets August Premiere Date On Prime Video
Stars Ana María Orozco and Jorge Enrique Abello return for Season 2 of "Betty la Fea: The Story ... More Continues," aongside much of the hit series' original cast. A year after Prime Video fast-tracked Betty la Fea: La Historia Continúa (Betty la Fea: The Story Continues) for a second season - just one week after its July 2024 debut - the streamer has revealed when fans can expect Betty's story to continue. The highly anticipated second season will premiere globally on August 15, exclusively on Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories. Stars Ana María Orozco and Jorge Enrique Abello return alongside much of the original cast. Following its August 15 debut, the 10-episode series will roll out in weekly two-episode drops. It's a measured release strategy for a show that shattered Prime Video's Latin American viewership records and became the platform's most-watched content in Colombian history. The continuation of Betty's story marks a remarkable journey for the sequel to the Guinness World Record-holding telenovela. When Betty la Fea: La Historia Continúa premiered in July 2024, it exceeded expectations, prompting Prime Video's quick renewal decision. This new season picks up with Betty facing decisions that shake her present and redefine her family's story. As she tries to rebuild her relationship with daughter Mila and deal with the emotional distance growing between her and Armando, new secrets emerge that threaten the stability of everything she thought was under control. The series revival after two decades showcases mature storytelling that Ana María Orozco, who reprises her iconic role, described as "emotionally rewarding" during an interview last summer, in which she spoke about the enduring impact of series and its main character. "We are no longer questioning whether Betty is ugly or not," noted Orozco. "We are focusing more on the person, on self-love. Betty is not afraid to feel vulnerable or question who she has been over these past years. It's about her process of finding herself again." While the sequel taps into Betty's established universe - one already familiar to audiences worldwide - its updated context within today's reality makes it more accessible to newer viewers. That evolution from the original's fairy tale ending to more complex, real-life situations has proven to hit the mark. Rather than simply capitalizing on nostalgia, the series has found ways to age alongside its audience, tackling the messier realities of marriage, parenthood, and professional life more than two decades later. "Revisiting Betty la Fea: La Historia Continúa is not only a tribute to a beloved story, it's a reflection of our commitment to meaningful storytelling," says Javiera Balmaceda, Head of Originals LatAm, CA and AU at Amazon Studios. "We're proud to give fans a new perspective on a character who helped shape television in Latin America and continues to inspire across generations." The production sticks to its Colombian roots. The series is produced by RCN Estudios, with a writers' room featuring Marta Betoldi (Ciega a Citas), César Betancur (Rigo), and Luis Carlos Ávila (La Reina del Flow). Mauricio Cruz Fortunato directs, while stars Orozco and Abello serve as associate producers. According to Alexander Marín, VP of Distribution at RCN Estudios, "This season will be full of surprises."

Doberman Goes Outside To Sit in Sun—Laughter As He Gets Unexpected Visitor
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The internet has been awed by a sweet video of a dog baffled by a butterfly who seems determined to settle on his nose. Bogota the Doberman lives in Europe with his owners and dog brother Moose, a German Shorthaired Pointer. The two dogs' owners have shared plenty of their adventures through the years, from exploring the beach in sunny Spain to a frosted countryside in winter, and interacting with wildlife on walks. Now, a video of the wildlife interacting with Bogota has gone viral, since being posted to their TikTok account @ on July 22. Viewed close to a million times in a matter of hours, and boasting over 115,000 likes, Bogota's owner captioned it: "The sweetest clip of our Doberman Bogota being harassed by a butterfly." The clip shows Bogota relaxing on an outdoor deck in the sun, looking towards the sky with a puzzled expression, as a butterfly rests on the tip of his nose. As he moves his head, the insect flutters away, only to return and land on his nose seconds later, as Bogota's owner laughs out loud. Bogota first looks at his owner, the butterfly still resting on his nose, but when she doesn't come to help, he rests his head on the ground and tries to gently brush off the insect with his paw. And it works—for just a second, until the butterfly's path comes straight back to his nose. The dog opens his mouth as though to snap at the butterfly, but when it lands on his mouth this time, he appears to change his mind, and shakes his head again to brush it away. The entire time, Bogota is still lying in the same spot, as though annoyed but not bothered enough to get up and move. And the video ends with the butterfly finding a new resting place, this time on the top of his head. TikTok users were obsessed, one joking: "No animals or insects were harmed in the making of this video." "What Disney movie is this?" another asked, while one joked the insect was the "Evel Knievel of butterflies." Moose the Doberman with a butterfly on his nose.

TikTok @ Another asked: "What obsession does the butterfly have with landing on the dog's nose?" as another suggested the insect was "looking for water to drink from." Butterflies and other insects are known to partake in a behavior called puddling, where they gather on mineral-rich substrates including mud, carrion and even tears and sweat. In butterflies, it is thought to help compensate for limited access to micronutrients such as sodium and nitrogen, according to a study in Annals of the Entomological Society of America.

Bankers urge Latin America to ease hurdles to attract renewable energy funds
BOGOTA, July 22 (Reuters) - Latin American countries need to address regulatory barriers, improve electrical interconnection, and enhance renewable energy project structuring to attract the $200 billion annual investment required for the energy transition, multilateral bank executives said on Tuesday. Executives spoke at an event in Colombia's capital Bogota organized by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean. The region's energy infrastructure investments fall short of global averages, which could hinder its ability to meet climate and energy goals. "The solution lies in policy, because money is not lacking," Felix Fernandez, director for Latin America and the Caribbean at the European Union's Directorate-General for International Partnerships, said. "Our region can consolidate its leadership in sustainable energy solutions, but for this, we must create conditions with adequate regulatory frameworks, investment, and a good public-private balance," added Andres Rebolledo, executive secretary of the Latin American Energy Organization. Latin America allocates around 3% of its GDP to energy infrastructure, compared to 5% on average in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa, according to World Bank data. European Union companies have planned $20 billion in renewable energy investments in Colombia, where 88% of renewable energy connected to the grid is produced by EU firms, Fernandez said.

'Broken' British tennis star breaks silence after being hit with FOUR-YEAR doping ban
British tennis star Tara Moore has blasted the sport's 'broken' anti-doping system and claimed her life has been 'ripped away' after her four-year doping ban was upheld. The former British No 1 doubles player also maintained her innocence while revealing she is 'broken' after 'fighting for her life' and being 'failed' by 'organisations and people in power'. The 32-year-old received the ban in 2022 after prohibited substances nandrolone and boldenone were found in positive tests Moore underwent during a tournament in Bogota, Colombia. She was handed an immediate ban but was cleared by an independent tribunal 19 months later, who ruled the anabolic steroids had entered her bloodstream via contaminated meats eaten in the days before her initial urine test. But last week, Moore had her ban upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport after an appeal by the International Tennis Integrity Agency. She will be unable to compete for four years minus the 19 months she served while provisionally suspended. Tara Moore said her life has been 'ripped away' after her four-year doping ban was upheld 'The last three-and-a-half years have broken me into so many pieces,' Moore said in a statement on social media. 'As my family and friends have scrambled to pick up the broken shards of me, they've glued me back together in the form of a different person. 'I don't need a panel to tell me I'm innocent. I know the integrity I bring and I know I am innocent. I believe everyone over the past couple of years can see how subjective this process is. 'I have been the underdog. I have had my life as I knew it ripped away from me because the organisations and people in power failed to do what was right. They may have taken my fight away on the court, yet my fight is not over, not for me or others like me. 'The anti-doping system is broken. I am proof of this. We need to fix it. Not for me as it's too late, but for future players who find themselves in this unfortunate situation. I have so much more to say when the time is right.' Moore had argued that boldenone and nandrolone were found in her sample after she consumed beef and/or pork while in Colombia. But a Cas statement said: 'After reviewing the scientific and legal evidence, the majority of the Cas panel considered that the player did not succeed in proving that the concentration of nandrolone in her sample was consistent with the ingestion of contaminated meat. 'The panel concluded that Ms Moore failed to establish that the ADRV (Anti-Doping Rule Violation) was not intentional. The appeal by the ITIA is therefore upheld and the decision rendered by the Independent Tribunal is set aside.' The verdict from Cas' March hearing into the appeal now means that the British player will be unable to return to competition until the start of the 2028 season. Moore previously shared a heartfelt statement in the wake of the decision as she decried the '19 months of lost time' that waiting for the hearing's verdict that she 'bore no fault or negligence' had stolen from her. It comes amid ongoing controversy over doping bans in tennis. Wimbledon winner Jannik Sinner was given a three-month suspension earlier this year after the World Anti-Doping Agency appealed the initial verdict that Sinner bore 'no fault or negligence' after clostebol entered his body via a cut on the hand of his physio that had been treated with the banned substance. There has been significant debate over the perceived leniency of his punishment, which allowed Sinner to return in time to compete at the French Open - where he reached the final - without missing any Grand Slam tournaments. World No 3 Iga Swiatek was similarly subject to debate over special treatment after she was handed her one-month suspension in November 2024 - having competed in tournaments after August's positive test. Since returning to the tour in April 2024, Moore has frequently spoken out against what she believed was preferential treatment shown to Swiatek. Both Sinner and Swiatek were victorious at Wimbledon with the Italian claiming his first Wimbledon Championship and Swiatek her sixth Grand Slam title.
