Uruguay is preparing to receive Pope Leo XIV on Friday at the start of a South American tour, correspondent Alejo Piazza reports from Montevideo in Mexico's Azteca Noticias international bulletin.

Presenter Amparo Castañeda links to Piazza for a preview of the visit's preparations and itinerary. The pope's arrival is scheduled for the weekend following the broadcast, making this a look ahead to the trip rather than coverage of a visit already underway.

The programme opens in Washington, where Lucy Bravo describes the US midterm elections as a major test for President Donald Trump's administration. Her dispatch concerns the contest for control of the House of Representatives and Senate, which Republicans controlled going into the vote. It is an election-day account, not a report announcing the subsequent Democratic victories in both chambers.

That segment supplies the upload's title, "Estados Unidos acude a las urnas en elecciones intermedias #AgendaMundial", meaning "United States heads to the polls in midterm elections."

In Panama City, Nicanor Alvarado reports that the government approved an exceptional contracting arrangement for the Ministry of Economy and Finance to hire an international law firm. The firm will defend the state in arbitration over a port concession. His dispatch also covers executive approvals involving public works and legislation.

The bulletin includes two reports of deaths. From Spain's Canary Islands, Fátima Febles says CD Tenerife confirmed striker Jesús de Miguel's death after he received a blow to the chest during a match. From Venezuela's Apure state, Sofía Piñero reports that the Venezuelan army bombed an ELN camp near the Colombian border, giving a preliminary death toll of 19. The ELN is a Colombian guerrilla organisation.
