Argentina’s having a heatwave, so a ‘state of emergency’ declared as power and water supplies fail; the water shortages are more acute for high-rise buildings where water has to be pumped up.

The rocket launch is part of a broader ramp-up of military spending, which goes to $6.1 billion in 2014.
“For peaceful purposes”? Not.
