Argentina's Milei suffers landslide defeat in key Buenos Aires province election
BUENOS AIRES — Argentinian President Javier Milei suffered a sweeping setback in a key Buenos Aires provincial election on Sunday viewed as a litmus test for how well his libertarian party is set to perform in legislative elections next month.The former TV pundit's recently formed La Libertad Avanza party scored just 34% of the vote in Argentina's biggest province, losing by a landslide to the left-leaning Peronist opposition led by former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who finished with 47% of the vote with the majority of the ballots counted late Sunday.Milei conceded that his party's 13-point loss was a "clear defeat.""If anyone wants to begin rebuilding and moving forward, the first thing they must do is accept the results," Milei told his...

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, Sen. Bernie Sanders and other politicians march in the annual Labor Day parade in New York on September 6
Trump’s moves to reshape New York mayor race are backfiring
NEW YORK — Add this to the list of Donald Trump’s accomplishments: Helping elect a socialist mayor of New York City.That’s the assessment from many politicians and operatives in the president’s hometown after a chaotic week of White House intervention, between Trump talking repeatedly about the candidates and his aides discussing an ambassadorship or other jobs with Mayor Eric Adams to get him to leave the race. Trump allies want to consolidate support for Andrew Cuomo against Zohran Mamdani, the state assemblyman and democratic socialist whom Trump has labeled a “communist.”Adams is still in the race. Cuomo’s opponents are tying the former governor closer to Trump in a city where Democrats vastly outnumber Republicans. And Mamdani and his aides are savoring what they see as...

The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force is increasingly having to respond to fatal shootings
The Caribbean islands battling the region's 'highest murder rate'
TURKS AND CAICOS — Jacques Phanor used to sleep with his windows open.Until just a few years ago, the Turks and Caicos Islands were known predominantly as a luxury Caribbean tourist destination.The startling beauty of the archipelago has regularly earned it "world's best beach" titles, and thrust it onto the bucket lists of the globe's most affluent travellers.But alarming levels of violent crime have rocked the once sleepy British Overseas Territory, earning it accolades it welcomes far less.Last year it recorded 48 homicides, which, given its population is less than 50,000, gave it the worst murder rate per capita in Latin America and the Caribbean, according to one study.This year the territory had already recorded 24 killings up to mid-August, heightened by the...

Argentine rights activist Rosa Roisinblit dies aged 106
BUENOS AIRES — The Argentine human rights activist Rosa Roisinblit has died at the age of 106, her organisation says.She was honorary president and a founding member of the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, a group that searched for children stolen during Argentina's military dictatorship between 1976 and 1983."We only have words of gratitude for her dedication... and the love with which she searched for the grandsons and granddaughters until the very end," the campaign group said in a statement.Some 30,000 people were killed or forcibly disappeared during Argentina's "Dirty War". Children of detained opposition activists were seized and given up for adoption.Rosa Roisinblit was born in 1919 in Moises Ville, a town of Jewish immigrants in central Argentina.She...

Two Venezuelan military aircraft flew near US Navy vessel, Pentagon says
WASHINGTON — Two Venezuelan military aircraft flew near a US Navy vessel in international waters on Thursday, in a move the US Department of Defense called “highly provocative.”“Today, two Maduro regime military aircraft flew near a US Navy vessel in international waters. This highly provocative move was designed to interfere with our counter narco-terror operations,” the Defense Department said in a statement on X.“The cartel running Venezuela is strongly advised not to pursue any further effort to obstruct, deter or interfere with counter-narcotics and counter-terror operations carried out by the US military,” the statement continued.CNN has reached out to the Defense Department and the White House for additional comment.The action comes amid growing tension between...

US working with Ecuador on agreement to send asylum seekers to the country
QUITO — The United States and Ecuador are in the final stages of establishing an agreement that would allow the US to send asylum seekers to the country, a senior State Department official said on Thursday.“It is not 100% finished,” the official said, adding that the so-called safe third country agreement must go through the standard operating procedures involving the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security.The topic was discussed on Thursday when Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited the country.“It is very case-by-case,” the official said, adding that there are no plans to send a specific quota of asylum seekers to Ecuador. The official said this is part of the overall relationship between the two countries.“We have a whole lot of difference pieces in our relationship,...

Rubio says US will 'blow up' foreign crime groups if needed
QUITO — Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said the US will "blow up" foreign crime groups if needed, possibly in collaboration with other countries."Now they're gonna help us find these people and blow them up, if that's what it takes," Rubio said during a visit to Ecuador.He also announced the US will designate two of Ecuador's largest criminal gangs, Los Lobos and Los Choneros, as foreign terrorist organisations.The comments come days after US forces carried out a strike on a boat in the Caribbean Sea. The White House says it killed 11 drug-traffickers, though it did not release their identities.Asked whether smugglers coming from US allies, like Mexico and Ecuador, could face "unilateral execution" from US forces, Rubio said...

As US tensions rise, Venezuelans keep calm and carry on – but whisper hopes of change
CHICHIRIVICHE DE LA COSTA, Venezuela — Work starts early for the fishermen of Chichiriviche de la Costa, a remote village on the Caribbean coast of Venezuela, some two hours of unpaved driving from the capital Caracas.On Thursday, Eduard Ulloa, 47, was at the shore before six in the morning, ready to prepare his boat for the day’s catch.A US strike on a Venezuelan speedboat allegedly carrying drugs that killed 11 people just a couple of days ago has created big waves in the world of geopolitics, fueling suspicions in Caracas that Washington is trying to topple the regime of President Nicolas Maduro – a man accused by the US of trafficking drugs (a charge he vehemently denies) and on whose head a $50 million bounty rests.That deadly strike, which followed the deployment of several US...

Guyana President Irfaan Ali claims victory in general election
GEORGETOWN – Guyanese President Irfaan Ali has claimed a second five-year term in office, even as official final results from Monday's general election are yet to be published.Ali's People's Progressive Party (PPP) secured at least 242,000 votes in the poll, claiming majorities in eight of the 10 districts in the South American country, according to Reuters news agency.We Invest in Nationhood (WIN), a new political party founded just three months ago, came in second with around 109,000 votes.Ali, 45, campaigned on a pledge to use the country's vast oil reserves, discovered in 2019, to improve infrastructure and reduce poverty, while navigating territorial tensions with neighbour Venezuela.It is not yet clear how many seats each party will have in the 65-member parliament,...

Trump appeals to US Supreme Court to rule on legality of tariffs
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has asked the US Supreme Court to overturn a lower court decision that found many of his sweeping tariffs were illegal.In a petition filed late on Wednesday, the administration asked the justices to quickly intervene to rule that the president has the power to impose such import taxes on foreign nations.A divided US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit last week ruled 7-4 that the tariffs Trump brought in through an emergency economic powers act did not fall within the president's mandate and that setting levies was "a core Congressional power".The case could upend Trump's economic and foreign policy agenda and force the US to refund billions in tariffs.Trump had justified the tariffs under the International Emergency Economic...
