US Congress approves bill to release Epstein files
WASHINGTON — Both chambers of Congress agreed to order the US justice department to release its files on sex offender financier Jeffrey Epstein.The House of Representatives overwhelming approved the measure in a 427-1 vote and the Senate unanimously fast-tracked it without a formal vote.The moves come just days after President Donald Trump reversed his position and urged Congress to vote to disclose the records following public pushback from many of his supporters.Last week, Trump and his ties to Epstein were thrust back into the headlines after more than 20,000 pages of documents — some mentioning the president — were released. The White House denied any wrongdoing.Republican Clay Higgins, of Louisiana, was the sole House objector and cited his concern about “innocent people being...

Venezuela’s opposition leader publishes ‘freedom manifesto’ from hiding 
CARACAS — Venezuela’s opposition leader María Corina Machado has published a “freedom manifesto” outlining her vision of a “new era” for the country without its strongman Nicolás Maduro.The four-page document, dated November 9 but made public on Tuesday, lays out the democratic pillars she says all Venezuelans are entitled to, including the rights to vote, assemble and exercise free speech.Borrowing language from other democratic frameworks, such as the US Declaration of Independence, the text calls for decentralizing power from the government and restoring it to the public. “Every Venezuelan is born with inalienable rights that have been conferred upon them by our Creator, not by men,” part of the document reads.Machado, who read the entire manifesto in a 15-minute video...

Brazil’s Supreme Court sentences military officials for planning to kill Lula
RIO DE JANEIRO — Brazil's Supreme Court sentenced high-ranking military officials and a federal police officer to up to 24 years in prison on Tuesday after finding them guilty of plotting to carry out a coup, and kill President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and other top officials.In September, the Supreme Court panel sentenced former President Jair Bolsonaro to 27 years and three months in prison for leading the criminal organization that sought to overturn the 2022 election, when Lula defeated Bolsonaro. At the time, the panel also sentenced other close allies who justices said formed part of the “core group.”On Tuesday, the panel convicted those accused of planning the criminal organization’s violent actions, which included a plot to kill Lula, Vice President Geraldo Alckmin...

Republican lawmaker from Louisiana Clay Higgins
The only 'no' vote on releasing Epstein files
WASHINGTON — Nearly every Republican in the US House of Representatives voted on a bill to compel the release of documents tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.The lone "nay" came from the Republican lawmaker from Louisiana, Clay Higgins, who defied his party saying his vote was a principled "NO"."What was wrong with the bill three months ago is still wrong today," Higgins wrote on X. "It abandons 250 years of criminal justice procedure in America."The resounding vote in favor of the Epstein bill, 427-1, marks a rare moment of bipartisanship on Capitol Hill. Hours later, the US senate too approved the legislation, clearing the way for the final act — President Donald Trump's signature.For Higgins, safeguarding the personal information of Epstein's many victims was...

Google boss warns 'no company is going to be immune' if AI bubble bursts
MOUNTAIN VIEW, California — Every company would be affected if the AI bubble were to burst, the head of Google's parent firm Alphabet has told the BBC.Speaking exclusively to BBC News, Sundar Pichai said while the growth of artificial intelligence (AI) investment had been an "extraordinary moment", there was some "irrationality" in the current AI boom.It comes amid fears in Silicon Valley and beyond of a bubble as the value of AI tech companies has soared in recent months and companies spend big on the burgeoning industry.Asked whether Google would be immune to the impact of the AI bubble bursting,Pichai said the tech giant could weather that potential storm, but also issued a warning."I think no company is going to be immune, including us," he said.In a wide-ranging exclusive...

Larry Summers
Ex-Harvard president Larry Summers steps back from public role after Epstein email release
NEW YORK — Former Harvard University president Larry Summers has said he will step back from public commitments after his emails with disgraced late financier Jeffrey Epstein were made public."I am deeply ashamed of my actions and recognise the pain they have caused," he said in a statement to CBS News, the BBC's US partner.Emails released by a House committee last week show Summers, a former US treasury secretary, communicated with Epstein until the day before the Epstein's 2019 arrest for the alleged sex trafficking of minors.On Tuesday, House members are expected to vote on a measure calling for the release of all Epstein-related files that have yet to be made public.The measure would then head to the Senate, and require the approval of US President Donald Trump.Summers...

Donald Trump
Trump calls on House Republicans to vote to release Epstein files
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has called on House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files, in a reversal from his previous position."House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday night.The major shift in Trump's stance comes as potentially dozens of Republicans signalled they were willing to break ranks, and vote for the release of the documents.The House is expected to vote this week on legislation that would compel the justice department to publicly release the files. Supporters of the bill appear to have enough votes for it to pass the House, though it is unclear whether it would pass the Senate.Trump would also have to sign off on the release of the documents if it passes both...

US to designate Venezuela's Cartel de los Soles as terrorists
WASHINGTON — Cartel de los Soles, a group the US alleges is led by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, will be designated a terrorist organisation, the US State Department has said.US Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a statement on Sunday announcing that the US intends to consider the group a Foreign Terrorist Organisation (FTO) from 24 November.It means that Maduro will effectively be designated a terrorist as well, because the US alleges he heads the Cartel de los Soles, an accusation Maduro strongly denies.It is the Trump administration's latest effort to reduce drug trafficking and put pressure on Maduro, as the US considers whether to take military action inside the country.An FTO designation allows the US government to crackdown more aggressively on the group and its...

Communist and far-right candidates head to Chile presidential run-off
SANTIAGO — Chile's presidential election will go to a run-off vote in December between a Communist Party and a far-right candidate, after the first round on Sunday produced no outright winner.The election campaign was dominated by crime and immigration, as migration to the country has grown in recent years and candidates pledged to fight foreign gangs like Venezuela's Tren de Aragua.The Communist Party's Jeannette Jara, from the governing coalition, narrowly won the first round followed closely by far-right candidate José Antonio Kast.The result is expected to give a boost to Kast, as Jara was the only left-wing candidate running against several right-wing candidates, which split the right-wing vote.In the 14 December run-off, voters will have to coalesce around one of...
