1. Former Bolivian President Evo Morales said in an interview with AP that he'll continue his call for strikes until the current government agrees to a dialogue.
Road blockades from his supporters are now in their fourth week, as Morales is demanding he be allowed to run as a presidential candidate for next year's elections.
A constitutional court barred him from doing so since Bolivia allows for reelection only once, and the judges said Morales had already been elected for three terms.
2. Thousands in Cuba have evacuated the southeast of the island due to an incoming tropical storm that could bring hurricane conditions of strong rains and winds.
Cuba has already been struggling with power outages made worse by Hurricane Oscar late last month, which left six dead.
