Ms Gammon and her husband used to enjoy travelling to the US to go to Baltimore Orioles games
Canadian boycott of US travel shows no sign of slowing
ONTARIO — Kristy Gammon used to travel to the US from Canada at least once every other year, taking ski trips at Lake Placid in New York and travelling to Baltimore, Maryland, for her husband's favourite Orioles baseball games.But those trips are now over, she said. This year, the Nova Scotia resident has avoided even passing through the US on her way to Ontario, a shortcut for an otherwise 18-hour drive.Since President Donald Trump took office earlier this year, the 62-year-old said she and most of her Canadian friends have decided to stop visiting the US as a way of protesting policies they oppose and trade actions Trump has taken against Canada."There are so many things that we just feel aghast about in terms of how [the administration] is acting internationally, behaving toward...

BBC apologizes to Trump over Panorama edit but refuses to pay compensation
LONDON — The BBC has apologized to US President Donald Trump for a Panorama episode that spliced parts of his 6 January 2021 speech together, but rejected his demands for compensation.The corporation said the edit had given "the mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action" and said it would not show the 2024 programme again.Lawyers for Trump have threatened to sue the BBC for $1bn (£759m) in damages unless the corporation issues a retraction, apologises and compensates him.The fallout from the scandal led to the resignations of BBC director general Tim Davie and head of news Deborah Turness on Sunday.BBC News has approached the White House for comment.The apology comes hours after a second similarly edited clip, broadcast on Newsnight in 2022, was...

Sheikh Hasina is facing the death penalty over a deadly crackdown on student-led protests last year that ousted her from power
Ex-Bangladesh leader says she's not guilty of crimes against humanity
LONDON — Bangladesh's former prime minister Sheikh Hasina has denied committing crimes against humanity during a deadly crackdown on last year's uprising that ousted her, days before the special tribunal trying her is due to deliver a verdict.Hasina is accused of being the main architect behind hundreds of killings during the mass protests against her autocratic rule — an allegation she denies.In her first interview with the BBC since she fled the country on 5 August 2024, she said her trial in absentia was a "farce" orchestrated by a "kangaroo court" controlled by political opponents.Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Hasina if she is found guilty on Monday.Hasina claimed the trial was destined to deliver a "pre-ordained guilty verdict".Security has been tightened...

US justice department sues California over new voting maps favouring Democrats
LOS ANGELES — The US justice department is filing a lawsuit against California over new congressional maps that voters approved in an election last week.The new maps favor Democrats and aim to cancel out gains made by Republicans through recently redrawn voting districts in Texas. Attorney General Pam Bondi accused California Governor Gavin Newsom of a "brazen" power grab using racially gerrymandered maps.California voters overwhelmingly approved the redistricting bill known as Proposition 50, giving Democrats an advantage in five new congressional districts."These losers lost at the ballot box and soon they will also lose in court," a spokesperson for Newsom said in a statement to BBC News.Bondi accused Newsom of attempting "to entrench one-party rule and silence millions of...

Police arrested scores of suspected gang members but the gang's leader remains at large
Deadly Rio police raid failed to loosen gang's iron grip, residents say
RIO DE JANEIRO — New details which have emerged in the aftermath of Brazil's deadliest police operation are casting doubts over whether the raid really struck at the heart of one of the country's most powerful criminal gangs, as was its stated aim.One hundred and twenty one people, among them four police officers, were killed in the raid on 28 October in Rio de Janeiro.The governor of Rio de Janeiro state, Claudio Castro, described the police operation as "a success", posting a photo showing the more than 100 rifles seized by police.But rights groups have sharply criticised the security forces pointing to the high death toll and what they have described as the "brutality" of their actions.The operation was the largest ever carried out by Rio's security forces and saw 2,500...

South Korea bans flights as 500,000 take crucial university admission test
SEOUL — More than half a million people in South Korea sat for the country’s grueling university entrance exam on Thursday as police mobilized to ensure they made it to the test sites on time and all flights were halted for half an hour.The number sitting the test, essential to secure a place at the country’s top universities, was the highest in seven years, according to Reuters. Most of the candidates were born in 2007 when there was a surge in births because it was considered an auspicious time to have a baby.Flights at all airports, including Incheon International Airport, were banned from landing or takeoff between 1:05 p.m. and 1:40 p.m. to ensure there was no disturbance while the students sat for the listening comprehension section of the English test.The decision affected 140...
