Bolton, who Trump fired from his first administration in 2019, has been a vocal critic of the president
Former Trump adviser John Bolton criminally indicted
WASHINGTON — John Bolton, who served as Donald Trump's national security adviser before becoming a vocal critic of the president, has been criminally indicted on federal charges.The Department of Justice presented a case to a grand jury in Maryland on Thursday, and they agreed there was enough evidence to indict Bolton, who issued a statement maintaining his innocence.It comes after FBI agents searched Bolton's home and office in August as part of an investigation into the handling of classified information.The indictment makes Bolton, 76, the third of the US president's political opponents to face charges in recent weeks.

Wilder Fernández is a young fisherman in the west of Venezuela who is concerned by the US military presence in the Caribbean
Venezuelan fishermen in fear after US strikes on boats in the Caribbean
CARACAS — Wilder Fernández has caught four good-sized fish in the murky waters of a small bay north of Lake Maracaibo.The contents of his net will serve as dinner for his small team before they set out to go fishing again in the evening.But this daily task is a job he has recently become scared of doing.After 13 years as a fisherman, Mr Fernández confesses that he now fears his job could turn lethal.He is afraid he could die in these waters not at the hands of a night-time attacker — a threat fishermen like him encountered in the past — but rather, killed in a strike launched by a foreign power."It's crazy, man," he says of the deployment of US warships, fighter jets, a submarine and thousands of US troops in waters north of Venezuela's coast.The US force patrolling in...

Titan submersible imploded due to poor engineering, say US officials
WASHINTON — OceanGate's Titan submersible imploded on its journey to the wreck of the Titantic because of poor engineering and multiple failures to test the vessel, according to an official report.Titan imploded in June 2023, killing all five passengers on board including OceanGate's chief executive.The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) found the engineering process behind the vehicle was "inadequate", resulting in faults which meant it failed to meet strength and durability requirements.The NTSB said because the firm did not adequately test Titan it did not know its actual strength. It was also unaware it was damaged and should have been removed from service before its last voyage.Titan disappeared in the North Atlantic as it attempted to dive to the wreck of...

Judge orders Trump administration to pause shutdown layoffs
WASHINGTON — A judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from laying off thousands of federal workers during the government shutdown.It comes less than a week after the administration confirmed several agencies had begun laying off about 4,000 workers.US District Judge Susan Illston granted a request by two unions to block layoffs at more than 30 agencies.During the hearing, Illston said she agreed with the unions that the administration was unlawfully using the lapse in funding, which began on 1 October, to carry out its plans to downsize the federal government.She also cited a series of public statements by President Donald Trump and the White House's budget chief, Russell Vought, that she said showed explicit political motivations for the layoffs, such as Trump...

Doctors Without Borders closes emergency center in Haiti due to gang violence
PORT-AU-PRINCE — The international medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said on Wednesday that ongoing violence in Haiti's capital has forced it to permanently close its Port-au-Prince emergency care center, a key lifeline in a city now 90% controlled by criminal gangs.More than 60% of the capital's health facilities, including Haiti’s general hospital, are now closed or non-functional because of the surge in gang violence.The MSF emergency center in the neighborhood of Turgeau had temporarily closed in March after armed men opened fire on four of the organisation's vehicles that were evacuating staff. Some employees received minor injuries."The building has already been hit several times by stray bullets due to its location close to the combat zones, which...
