Canada rejects claims of ongoing arms exports to Israel
OTTAWA — Canada on Saturday reaffirmed its ban on military exports that could be used in Gaza, dismissing claims in a July 29 report alleging Canadian arms continue to flow to Israel.“Since January 2024, we have refused any new permits for controlled goods that could be used in Gaza. Not one has been approved,” Foreign Minister Anita Anand said in a statement.“We went further by freezing all existing permits in 2024 that could have allowed military components to be used in Gaza, and those permits remain suspended today.”Anand stressed that Canadian law prohibits the export of controlled goods without a valid permit and warned that violators face fines, seizures, and potential criminal charges.“We will not allow Canadian-made weapons to contribute to this conflict in any...

Collapse at Chile’s El Teniente copper mine kills 1, traps 5 workers underground
SANTIAGO, Chile — A collapse at Chile’s El Teniente copper mine killed one worker and left five others trapped underground, prompting the state-owned National Copper Corp. (Codelco) to suspend operations in the affected areas of the world’s largest underground copper deposit.Nine other miners were injured in Thursday’s incident, which Codelco said was triggered by “a seismic event.” The U.S. Geological Survey reported a magnitude 5 earthquake in central Chile at 5:34 p.m. local time, near the mine’s location in the O’Higgins region. Codelco estimated the tremor’s magnitude at 4.2.Authorities are investigating whether the tremor was naturally occurring or linked to mining activity. Prosecutors have opened a criminal probe to determine if safety standards were breached.The...

BOGOTÁ, Colombia — Former Colombian President Álvaro Uribe was sentenced Friday to 12 years of house arrest for witness tampering and bribery, marking a historic verdict against one of the country’s most influential political figures.The ruling followed a nearly six-month trial in which prosecutors argued that Uribe, 73, sought to influence witnesses who had accused him of ties to a paramilitary group in the 1990s.Judge Sandra Heredia, who presided over the case, also barred Uribe from holding public office for eight years and imposed a fine of about $776,000.Heredia rejected the defense’s request to keep Uribe free during the appeals process, citing the ease with which the former president could leave the country “to evade the imposed sanction.”Uribe, who governed from 2002 to...
