Mexico’s Senate approves controversial judicial reform
Judicial workers protest the government’s judicial reform, which was approved in the Senate and would make judges stand for election, in Mexico City, Sept. 11, 2024.
Mexico’s Senate has just approved a controversial judicial reform; the country’s judges will now be elected by popular vote. Protesters flooded the Senate floor to voice their objection to the reform. Also, Russia’s use of drones supplied by Iran indicates that Russia is coordinating with Tehran significantly more closely than in the past — even the recent past. And, Typhoon Yagi in Vietnam has brought nonstop rain, and the resulting flooding and landslides have killed at least 64 people.
