PlayStation News reported that Cyberleek claimed to have a build of GTA 6 over 200 GB and said that its size could give a rough idea of the final weight of the game. It also noted that Cyberleek presented a roadmap to publish leaks as the capitalization of its currency increased: a mini tank upon reaching 5M, a tank with 9M, a confrontation with the police with 13M, a beach massacre with 17M, a fighter jet with 21M, a train versus train with 25M, and the release of the complete build with 30M. PlayStation News added that Cyberleek's currency had barely grown in recent days and suggested that if the trend continued, the targets might not be reached and the leaks would end there. #GTA6 #Cyberleek #filtraciones (translated)

Maranello Paddock reported Lewis Hamilton's statements after the Singapore Grand Prix. The Ferrari driver stated that he takes responsibility for a result below expectations and explained that he chose new medium tires to attempt a one-stop strategy, as overtaking is difficult on this circuit. According to him, these tires proved to be less effective than the soft ones. Hamilton indicated that he found his rhythm during the second stint, but was unable to regain enough positions. He mentioned missing the pit entry when the team called him in during the virtual safety car period, and then chose to stay on track. The tire degradation in the final laps allegedly cost him three places, leaving him in sixth. The driver described the race as a hard lesson, acknowledged making mistakes, and apologized to the team for the lost points. He expressed his desire to continue to invest and fight in the next race. #F1 #Ferrari #GrandPrix (translated)

Bally Bagayoko explained that his group abstained during the vote on a wish presented by the opposition elected officials from the Socialist, Environmentalists, and Citizens group at the municipal council. The text focused on the protection of girls and women against excision and female genital mutilation, as well as the adoption of a comprehensive law against sexist and sexual violence (SSV). He said that his group supported the fight against mutilations and reminded that nearly 500 patients received follow-up each year in the municipality. He also praised the work of the Women's House, Delafontaine Hospital, and various associations, and asked the State to strengthen the resources allocated for prevention and medical follow-up. According to Bally Bagayoko, the abstention concerned the request to quickly adopt the law on SSV. He indicated that the bill had been significantly amended in committee at the National Assembly the week of the municipal council, and its content remained uncertain. His group had asked to remove references to this law from the wish in order to be able to vote in favor of the text on the fight against excision, but the opposition had refused, he wrote. He believed that this refusal had hindered the pursuit of an agreement and denounced a political instrumentalization of the issue. The group ultimately abstained in order not to block the wish, which was adopted, while not supporting all of its content, he noted. #Excision #DroitsDesFemmes #LutteContreLesViolences (translated)

Senator Enrique Gómez summarized the claims that, according to him, Eva Ferrer had made in an interview. He pointed out that Ferrer accused Verónica Alcocer of leading a network for trafficking drugs, weapons, and dollars that cooperated with the so-called "Italians" of Enrico Romagnoli, and of transporting 2.5 million dollars from Venezuela on an official plane. According to Gómez's summary, Ferrer asserted that Petro had benefited from that network through electoral support and logistics to organize demonstrations. He also mentioned the involvement of Manel Grau, Agmeth Escaf, Carolina Plata, and Mario Fernández Alcocer, cousin of Verónica Alcocer. Gómez added that Ferrer had spoken about the management of a supposed contribution of 50,000 euros from Papá Pitufo to Petro's presidential campaign in 2022, which Xavier Vendrell would have participated in. He claimed that the prosecutor in charge of the case had already indicated that there was interference from Petro's Government in favor of Papá Pitufo. He also noted that Ferrer mentioned the management of a contribution of at least 250,000 euros from Euclides Torres to the 2022 campaign. In the end, Gómez wondered if Petro had been, as Ferrer suggested, a puppet of Verónica Alcocer or if he was the head of the criminal gang. #Colombia #Política #Corrupción (translated)
