Peru: Women of Lima march against judicial corruption
2018-08-12 06:38
Thousands of women marched through the streets of the Peruvian capital Lima on Saturday, denouncing what they call corruption in the judicial system, calling for reforms and the resignation of State Prosecutor Gonzalo Chavarry.
The protest comes in wake of audio recordings leaked last month, suggesting some judges on inter-gender violence cases favoured the alleged perpetrators of the violence.
The protesters exhibited numerous banners and placards throughout the march which ended in front of the National Council of the Magistracy (CNM).
A wave of protests had hit the country after a group of investigative journalists, published audio recordings of phone conversations which are said to implicate senior members of the judiciary in a series of corruption cases.
The judges are now subject to a state investigation opened on July 9 by Peruvian President Martin Vizcarra.

USA: NASA mission to 'touch' the Sun blasts off
2018-08-12 12:27
NASA's Parker Solar Probe launched successfully from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on Sunday, as it embarks on its mission to 'touch the Sun'.
The launch was initially planned for Saturday, but was delayed by a day due to last-minute technical issues.
The car-sized spacecraft, which cost $1.5 billion (1.313 billion euro) to build, is set to orbit the Sun 24 times to gather valuable data through monitoring the surface of the Sun, also known as the solar corona.
The Parker Solar Probe has a seven-year-mission ahead of it, and if successful, will be the first human-made object to come so close to the star.
The project, which has taken six decades to come to fruition, marks a milestone in NASA's space mission trajectory. Scientists believe that a closer look at the solar corona will provide crucial information on what Eugene Parker called 'solar wind' as well as improving the understanding of stellar mechanics.
