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...

Sam Hamdi
Bitish journalist Sami Hamdi headed home after more than two weeks in ICE detention
SAN FRANCISCO — Bitish journalist Sami Hamdi, who was detained by United States immigration officers for more than two weeks, will return to the United Kingdom Thursday, Hamdi and his legal team said in a statement.The London-based journalist and commentator was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on October 26 at San Francisco International Airport, one day after speaking at the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) California’s annual gala.Authorities told Hamdi he was being held after overstaying his US visa. However, Hamdi and his legal team claimed he was in the US on a valid visa and was detained for speaking out about Israel’s war in Gaza.Hamdi said he was leaving the US “voluntarily,” in a statement Thursday.“I am profoundly grateful to my...

Trump signs bill to end longest US government shutdown
Trump signs spending bill to end longest shutdown in US history
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has signed a spending bill to reopen the government and end the longest shutdown in US history.He signed the short-term bill into law just hours after the House of Representatives voted 222-209 to approve it on Wednesday night, and two days after the Senate narrowly approved the same bill.Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump said the government would now "resume normal operations" after "people were hurt so badly" from the 43-day shutdown.Many government services have been suspended since October, and around 1.4 million federal employees have been on unpaid leave or working without pay. Food aid has also been left in limbo and air travel has been disrupted nationwide.Government services are expected to reopen in the coming days, while disruptions to air...

Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump together at the Mar-a-Lago estate, Palm Beach, Florida on February 22, 1997
White House dismisses emails suggesting Trump knew about Epstein's conduct as 'fake narrative'
WASHINGTON — The White House on Wednesday dismissed as a "fake narrative" the release of emails in which late financier Jeffrey Epstein claimed US President Donald Trump was aware of Epstein's exploitation of underage victims.Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Democrats had "selectively leaked emails to the liberal media" and accused them of attempting to distract from Trump's accomplishments."These stories are nothing more than bad-faith efforts to distract from President Trump's historic accomplishments, and any American with common sense sees right through this hoax and clear distraction from the government opening back up again," she said.The three emails, made public by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, pointed to the possibility that Trump was aware of...

Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was critical of the funding deal
Democrats left bruised after historic shutdown yields little
WASHINGTON— After 43 days, the longest US government shutdown in history is coming to an end.Federal workers will start receiving pay again. National Parks will reopen. Government services that had been curtailed or suspended entirely will resume. Air travel, which had become a nightmare for many Americans, will return to being merely frustrating.After the dust settles and the ink from President Donald Trump's signature on the funding bill dries, what has this record-setting shutdown accomplished? And what has it cost?Senate Democrats, through their use of the parliamentary filibuster, were able to trigger the shutdown despite being a minority in the chamber by refusing to go along with a Republican measure to temporarily fund the government.They drew a line in the sand, demanding...

The world's largest aircraft carrier, USS Gerald R. Ford transits the Strait of Gibraltar, November 4
Venezuelans voice uncertainty, fear and skepticism after arrival of US aircraft carrier in region
CARACAS — From concern to skepticism, Venezuelans in Caracas are expressing a range of emotions a day after the United States’ most advanced aircraft carrier strike group arrived in the Latin American region and intensified the friction between both nations.The US Navy says the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group will support other warships that have been carrying out deadly strikes on suspected drug-trafficking vessels in the Caribbean over the past two months.Though Washington insists the military buildup is aimed at disrupting the flow of narcotics to the United States, Caracas believes the US is really trying to force regime change, and some US officials have privately conceded their strategy is aimed at removing President Nicolás Maduro.That sentiment is shared by some...

Venezuela announces ‘massive mobilization’ of military forces as America’s largest warship sails into region
CARACAS — Venezuela says it is launching a “massive mobilization” of military personnel, weapons and equipment in response to the build-up of US warships and troops in the Caribbean Sea.Land, air, naval and reserve forces will carry out exercises through Wednesday, according to Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López, who described the deployment as a response to the “imperialist threat” posed by the US build-up.In addition to regular military units, the exercises will involve the Bolivarian Militia – a reserve force made up of civilians that was created by the late President Hugo Chávez and is named after Simon Bolivar, the revolutionary who secured the independence of numerous Latin American countries from Spain.Padrino López, who attributed the order directly to...

US Supreme Court keeps full SNAP payments on hold with short term order
WASHINGTON — The US Supreme Court on Tuesday extended a short-term order that allows the Trump administration to withhold paying for full food stamp payments in November, a move that appeared designed to put off the case a few days in the hope that Congress approves a pending agreement to reopen the federal government.The fast-moving emergency appeal at the Supreme Court over Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, benefits that help more than 40 million Americans – as well as several lawsuits playing out in lower courts – would almost certainly be dismissed as moot if the historic shutdown ends in coming days.But until that happens, the “administrative stay” that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued Friday will continue to block a lower court order that required the...

US aircraft carrier group arrives in Caribbean
WASHINGTON — A US naval strike force centred around the world's largest warship, the USS Gerald R Ford, has arrived in the Caribbean, the US Navy has confirmed.The arrival of the strike group, which was ordered to the region by President Donald Trump last month, comes amid ongoing strikes against alleged drug boats and tensions with Venezuela.The US has so far carried out at least 19 strikes against boats in the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific, killing at least 76 people.Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and other Venezuelan officials have accused the US of "fabricating" a crisis and seeking to topple the country's left-wing socialist government.The aircraft carrier movement also comes amid tensions between the Trump administration and the Colombian government of President...
