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...

Col Susannah Meyers (left) was fired after reportedly distancing herself from JD Vance's remarks
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...

 Kilmar Abrego Garcia
US top court instructs Trump to return man wrongly deported to El Salvador
WASHINGTON — The US Supreme Court has instructed the Trump administration to facilitate the return of a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to a mega-jail in El Salvador.The Trump administration has conceded that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was deported due to an "administrative error", but appealed against a district court's order to "facilitate and effectuate" his return to the US.On Thursday, in a 9-0 ruling, the Supreme Court declined to block the lower court's order.That order "requires the Government to 'facilitate' Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent", the justices ruled.Garcia, a Salvadorian migrant, is one of dozens of...

Pete Belton
British man's tattoo wrongly linked to Venezuelan gang in US government document
WASHINGTON — A tattoo belonging to a man from Derbyshire has appeared in a US government document used to identify members of a notorious Venezuelan gang — despite the man having no connection to the group.Pete Belton, 44, from Ilkeston says he was shocked to find his forearm featured in a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) document used to help identify alleged members of Tren de Aragua (TdA), a transnational criminal organization."I'm just an average middle-aged man from Derbyshire," he told BBC Verify.Belton said it was a "bit strange, bit funny at first" but is now worried the family trip he booked to Miami with his wife and daughter in August might end up "being a six month all-inclusive holiday to Guantanamo".The Trump administration has...
