Estimating the building's height, the height of the tree to the right, or the depth beneath the surface was challenging just by looking. During the brief time he was filmed, the horse stood still — fragile, exhausted...

The Copa America is a competition infused with South American culture, talent, and history.

In one year, the wholesale price of orange juice has risen by almost 77 per cent. Since February 2020, when the COVID pandemic struck, it has increased fivefold, according to AFP. Some 85 per cent of the world market is divided between Florida and São Paulo. Brazil exports 99 per cent of its production. Consequently, the United States and Brazil set the market price for this popular breakfast fruit. Problems with production affect stocks and prices in Europe for consumers and we end up with more expensive orange juice, supplied in smaller quantities.

Even without the likes of Neymar and Richarlison up front, the nine-time winners of the competition will still fancy their chances of adding to their illustrious trophy haul with several big-name La Liga forwards. The likes of Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and Raphinha could form a lethal attacking trio that strikes fear into the heart of opposing defenders. Brazil head coach Dorival Junior could secure things at the back with the steady Alisson in between the sticks...

Everywhere you go in Argentina or Uruguay, you’ll see people engaging in an old and much-loved ritual: sipping a hot, slightly bitter infusion of caffeinated leaves from a dried gourd through a filtered metal straw, before passing the gourd to their friends to share. It’s yerba mate, South America’s Indigenous tea with a long and storied history. “Yerba mate” is the common name for Ilex paraguariensis, a shrub native to South America whose dried and cured leaves are brewed in hot water to produce...
