The most prominent international news of the day is the explosion of the New Glenn rocket, belonging to the company Blue Origin, at Cape Canaveral. This incident has generated concern because it could delay NASA's plans to return to the Moon, originally scheduled for the next two years.

On the national level, Montevideo has been transformed into an important filming set for Netflix. The platform is investing nearly 10 million dollars in the production titled “The Future is Ours.” During a visit to the set, politician Yamandú Orsi posed alongside actor Enzo Vogrincic.

On the other hand, the family of former senator Gustavo Penadés launched harsh criticism against the Uruguayan justice system. Through social media, they expressed that judicial decisions are being influenced by social pressure and public demands, comparing their situation with other recent high-profile cases.
