The Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, today emphasized the urgent need to end world conflicts. The call was made in front of the leaders of Russia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates and China, who are gathered at the BRICS summit in India.

The event takes place in a context of elevated international tensions, with multiple active conflicts in various regions of the world. Guterres' intervention comes as a call to the international community to prioritize the peaceful resolution of disputes.

Present at the summit are leaders of various world powers, including Russia, represented by its president, and Iran, whose leader is also participating in the meeting. China and the United Arab Emirates complete the group of nations that heard the appeal from the UN official.

The BRICS summit in India thus brings together these major emerging economies at a critical moment for international politics, with Guterres reinforcing the message that peace must be a global priority.

The night when Castelo Branco entered the history of Portugal's wonders

The Garden of the Episcopal Palace of Castelo Branco was distinguished as one of the New 7 Wonders of Portugal in the Tourism category, in an announcement made on September 13, 2026 in Sintra. The garden, a National Monument and a singular example of Portuguese baroque, was commissioned by Bishop D. João de Mendonça around 1720 and became public in 1919. The space is divided into four terraces with sculptures of the zodiac signs, the seasons, the continents, and a staircase of kings where the monarchs of the Filipino period appear in reduced dimensions. The victory represents a moment of heritage and tourism affirmation for Castelo Branco and the region, projecting a space that had existed for centuries beyond local borders.
