Ecuador votes against allowing foreign military bases in country
QUITO — Ecuadoreans have voted against allowing the return of foreign military bases in the country, frustrating US hopes of expanding its presence in the Eastern Pacific region.The referendum result is a blow to Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa, who had campaigned to change the constitution in order to reverse a ban that the country's legislature passed in 2008.He said it would help fight organised crime and reduce the soaring violence the country has seen in recent years, during which it has become one of the world's biggest drug-trafficking hotspots.The US had hoped the referendum would pave the way for it to open a military base, 16 years after it was made to close a site on the Pacific coast.While Ecuador does not produce cocaine, its huge ports and proximity to...

California revokes 17,000 commercial driver’s licenses for immigrants
SAN FRANCISCO — California plans to revoke 17,000 commercial driver’s licenses given to immigrants after discovering the expiration dates went past when the drivers were legally allowed to be in the US, the Associated Press reported.The announcement follows harsh criticism from the Trump administration about California and other states granting licenses to people in the country illegally. The issue was thrust into the public’s consciousness in August, when a tractor-trailer driver not authorized to be in the US made an illegal U-turn and caused a crash in Florida that killed three people.Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Wednesday that California’s action to revoke these licenses is an admission that the state acted improperly even though it previously defended its licensing...

Maduro tells people in the US to unite with Venezuela for peace of the Americas
CARACAS — The people of the United States should unite with Venezuela for the peace of the Americas, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro told CNN’s Stefano Pozzebon in the middle of a rally in Caracas on Thursday.His exclusive remarks come amid heightened tensions with the US, which has deployed warships to the Caribbean to target what it claims are drug trafficking vessels from Venezuela. 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.Maduro urged the US against entering another prolonged conflict, asking its people in Spanish: “To unite for the peace of (the Americas). No more endless wars. No more unjust wars. No more Libya. No more...

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...

California Governor Gavin Newsom speaks at a volunteer event at the LA Convention Center on November 1, 2025 in Los Angeles, California
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...

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...
