Ecuador’s President Daniel Noboa declared election winner as rival demands recount
SANTA ELENA — Ecuador’s President Daniel Noboa won the country’s presidential election on Sunday based on preliminary results, an electoral official said, as his main rival demanded a recount of the vote following a race overshadowed by drug-fueled violence that has consumed the once-peaceful South American country.Noboa, a conservative, has made fighting crime and economic revitalization two of his main goals — summed up in the slogan “New Ecuador”— as he faces, among other challenges, violence by criminal groups and an energy crisis that has caused constant blackouts in the country.With 90% of the ballots counted, the trend in favor of Noboa is irreversible and he is considered the winner, National Electoral Council president Diana Atamaint told a press conference...

Mark Zuckerberg stands among a crowd at President Donald Trump's inauguration in January
Landmark antitrust trial could force Zuckerberg to sell Instagram
WASHINGTON — A trial in the landmark antitrust case against social media giant Meta kicked off in Washington on Monday.The US competition and consumer watchdog alleges that Meta, which already owned Facebook, bought Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014 to eliminate competition, effectively giving itself a monopoly.The FTC reviewed and approved those acquisitions but committed to monitor the outcomes. If the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) wins the case it could force Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to sell off both Instagram and WhatsApp.Meta previously said it was sure it would win and experts have told the BBC it is likely to argue that Instagram users have had a better experience since it was taken over."The [FTC's] argument is the acquisition of Instagram was a way of neutralizing...

A British Airways plane near London's Heathrow Airport in 2024
Plane’s double diversion has passengers spending almost a full day on board
WASHINGTON — It can be unlucky when a plane has to divert due to a sick passenger or a security incident mid-air.But a recent flight from the Cayman Islands to the United Kingdom was particularly unlucky as it had to be diverted twice.Passengers on board BA252 left George Town, Grand Cayman, on time at 6:21 p.m. EST on Tuesday, April 8. From there, the plane had a quick stop in Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, to pick up more passengers.That’s when things got complicated.According to data from tracking website Flightradar24, the Boeing 777 plane made an unplanned stop five hours later in Gander, in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The cause was reportedly a sick passenger on board.Gander is best known for being where many of the planes in the North American...

US fires Greenland military base chief for 'undermining' Vance
WASHINGTON — The head of the US military base in Greenland has been fired after she reportedly sent an email distancing herself from Vice President JD Vance's criticism of Denmark.The US military's Space Operations Command said Col Susannah Meyers had been removed from her role at Pituffik Space Base due to a "loss of confidence in her ability to lead".Last month, Vance said Denmark had "not done a good job" for Greenlanders and had not spent enough on security while visiting the Danish territory.The alleged email, released by a military news site, told staff Vance's comments were "not reflective" of the base. A Pentagon spokesman cited the article, saying "undermining" US leadership was not tolerated.Following Vance's trip, on 31...
