Brazil: A week-long demonstration by indigenous people in favor of land and cultural rights occurs in Brasilia.
Thousands of Indigenous people have assembled in the Brazilian capital for a five-day protest to support their rights to their land and culture. It goes against what they claim are President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's unmet pledges to defend reserves and drive out land-grabbers from their lands.
States proclaim states of emergency, and there is great excitement in the US about the total solar eclipse.
The impending solar eclipse appears promising for the US travel and tourist sector. There has been an extraordinary demand for lodging from Americans hoping to see the celestial spectacle, with some areas of the country falling inside the "path of totality". Millions of people in Mexico, the United States, and Canada, will not be able to see the sun on Monday due to a total solar eclipse caused by the moon.
