come in and us and talk about in a little bit. we have more rain tonight in some areas, and we're going to need people to take some steps to keep them safe. otherwise, even the total that we expect could grow opposition and pace of heckled, peruse president, while he delivered a speech to mark his 1st year in office. edward castillo is facing allegations of corruption, is supported, say the accusations are politically motivated. arianna sanchez reports from lima one year in office 2 unsuccessful impeachment proceedings, more than 50 ministers dismissed and bid augustine presidency here at its worst hour. he is facing 5 corruption related probes. the president denies any wrongdoing . close allies and family members are also under investigation. 0 one though i have sworn by god to serve my country, even if my family is insulted every day and the majesty of the presidency is offended, i submit myself to justice,

farmer's hat won the hearts of many who believed gusty. you is honest. yes, i was, i got my landlord, we know that he's a good person and they who never steal them. oak isn't up. during his 2nd year, castillo said he will offer his hand to work for the good of the people. but to achieve that, he needs allies in a country rocked by political instability. castillo was expelled from his own party . opponents in congress will try to unseat him again for many who put their trust in him. his offers to work together may just be too late. and innocent, just i'll just see that lima b to a rare dinosaurs skeleton has sold at auction in new new york for more than $6000000.00 scientist fair, they could lose access to research the perfectly preserved bonds. gover. alexander has mo, from new york, it's a dinosaur called gore cancerous, and it roamed earth more than 79000000 years ago. the dinosaur founded 2018,
12:29 pm
is a particularly rare find. it's made up of $79.00 bones, perfectly preserved from the giant school to the details and the vertebrae and the tail, not one bone is out of place. there are only 20 known fragments of this animal that exist anywhere in the world. almost all of them were found in canada, where it is believed the giant predator lived. but this one was unearthed on private land in the state of montana in the united states. but the fact it was found in the u. s. and not canada makes it even more rare. and why it sold for $6100000.00 to an anonymous buyer at an auction in new york on thursday, canada. and like many other countries as a strict restriction on fossils being exported from the country to a dinosaur like this would not be allowed out of canada because it was found in the
12:30 pm
u. s. that means we can actually sell it. and that is part of what makes this dinosaur so rare. while the sale of this dinosaur was for over $6000000.00, it's not the most expensive dinosaur ever sold. that title will go to a tyrant, soros rex. it's over over $31000000.00 in 2020 another dinosaur sold for more than $12000000.00. and well, that might be a good thing for the buyers and even the auction houses. it's not necessarily a good thing for science. there's worry about the ethics of all of this. many paleontologist say they're concerned that dinosaurs specimens in private hands means that they potentially are no longer available for research. there are not very many specimens of gorgeous stories. all the others are in museums. and one more being sold you might say, oh well it's only one, but if there's only a few, right, that's a lot of information that we live.
