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...

QUITO — The leader of one of Ecuador's biggest drug-trafficking gangs has been captured in an operation involving Spanish police, Ecuador's president Daniel Noboa has said.Wilmer "Pipo" Chavarria, the head of Los Lobos, was detained in the city of Malaga, according to Spain's National Police.President Noboa said Chavarria had faked his own death, changed his identity and hidden in Europe while continuing to control criminal operations in Ecuador, including illegal mining and ordering murders.His family had claimed in 2021 that he had died from a heart attack due to Covid.Both Ecuador and the US have designated Los Lobos (The Wolves) as a terrorist organisation.In a post on X, Ecuador's interior minister John Reimberg, who said he was in Spain with police, said the...

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...
