"US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth served a Thanksgiving meal to soldiers from the Southern Command's Area of Responsibility as he paid a visit to the aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford. Footage released on Thursday shows the secretary, accompanied by his wife, donning an apron and scooping 'generous portions' of food onto the plates, before handing them out to sailors at the carrier's mess deck. "Thanksgiving meals here. And it's mandatory turkey. Mandatory. To all the moms and dads out there, your kids get turkey whether they want it or not. [...] Giving out generous portions. Oh, yeah. I give out too much candy at Halloween and too much turkey on Thanksgiving," he said. Hegseth also toured the Navy's guided-missile destroyer USS Winston S Churchill on the same day, according to the Pentagon. The forces on these ships are part of Operation Southern Spear, targeting drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean. The exact location of the released footage cannot be independently verified."

"Former Peruvian president Pedro Castillo and his former prime minister Betssy Chavez were sentenced on Thursday to 11 years, five months and 15 days in prison for conspiracy to commit rebellion over Castillo's failed self-coup attempt of December 7, 2022. Footage shows Castillo entering the Barbadillo prison courtroom in Lima and listening to the verdict as Judge Norma Carbajal Chavez delivers the ruling, with police patrolling the chamber as she confirms his detention will run until May 21, 2034, after crediting time already served. "To convict Jose Pedro Castillo Terrones as co-perpetrator of the offence against the powers of the State and the constitutional order, in the form of conspiracy for a rebellion, […] the sentenced person is imposed 11 years, five months and 15 days of effective custodial sentence," the judge declared. Announcing Chavez's sentence, she added, "Given that she is currently under a revoked pretrial detention measure and at liberty, her location and arrest are ordered at national and international levels." Outside the prison, the politician's supporters could be seen holding signs reading 'President Castillo. Freedom!' and chanting 'This is a circus. This is not a trial', and 'Judges and prosecutors, corrupt white-collars', as law enforcement officers monitored the area. Juan Antonio Cruz, one of the demonstrators, claimed the rebellion charge lacks legal basis, as no armed force or police participation occurred. "There has been nothing, no deal, no agreement with anyone. So where does the rebellion come from?" he asked, alleging that Castillo's removal was pre-arranged. "Castillo is only following this whole procedure, which is illegal against him, because here justice has already ended, and now we have to go to international courts," he persisted. The former leader's sentencing comes nearly three years after he attempted to dissolve Congress and rule by decree in a televised address that was followed by an immediate institutional response. Minutes later, he was detained as he reportedly headed toward the Mexican embassy, where his family ultimately received asylum. Congress dismissed him that same day and transferred him to prison, where he has remained since."

A local community are up in arms after a hardly believable crime was committed by intruders at a popular park
"Venezuela's Defence Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez affirmed the nation's readiness to defend its sovereignty against foreign aggression during a speech in Maracay on Thursday, marking the 105th anniversary of the Bolivarian Military Aviation (AMB). Footage captures members of the Bolivarian Air Force performing flyovers and military drills before Padrino's speech. "Do not make the mistake of attacking Venezuela. Do not make the mistake of coming for the people of Venezuela, because the people of Venezuela are ready. They are always ready alongside their armed forces to give the response that must be given," Padrino told the troops. "We are ready for everything. We are ready for combat, we are ready to die," he continued. "We are ready, willing to respond to any aggression against the people of Venezuela, against its sovereignty, against its territorial integrity. And the Bolivarian Military Aviation knows that it must strike hard, wherever it must strike." The Defence Minister then denounced what he described as 'submissive' Latin American governments. "There are submissive governments, you know them. You know, who lend themselves to the imperialist game, to militarise the Caribbean, to turn the Caribbean into a closed sea for their interests," Padrino claimed. "I tell those heads of government from here to stop acting against the sentiment of their peoples. The people of Latin America and the Caribbean do not want war. The people of Latin America and the Caribbean want peace," he stressed. This comes after the United States announced it will 'provisionally' use two airports in the Dominican Republic as part of Operation Lanza del Sur, a military deployment aimed at combating drug trafficking in the Caribbean. Since September 2, the United States military has carried out 21 attacks in international waters, destroying 22 boats allegedly involved in narcotics trafficking in the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific. These operations, conducted without judicial procedures or a congressional declaration of war, have reportedly resulted in 83 deaths."
