- 1:14Ex-BBC anchor pleads guilty to indecent child pictures chargesReuters VideosSTORY: Former top BBC anchor Huw Edwards – who led coverage of major events including the announcement of Queen Elizabeth II’s death – pleaded guilty on Wednesday to three counts of making indecent pictures of children. Edwards, who was the BBC's highest paid journalist until he quit in April, appeared at London's Westminster Magistrates' Court. During the hearing, the prosecutor said 41 still or moving images had been sent to Edwards by an adult male on WhatsApp between December 2020 and August 2021. Two were described as pornographic videos of a child possibly aged seven and nine years old. Edwards' lawyer emphasized that the charges he pleaded guilty to were related only to images sent to him via WhatsApp. The guilty plea marks a monumental fall for the presenter, a household name in Britain. He led coverage of landmark moments which also included elections, King Charles III’s coronation, royal weddings and the 2012 Olympics. Edwards is due to be sentenced on September 16.21 hours ago
- 2:19Venezuela's opposition claims proof of Maduro election lossReuters VideosSTORY: Demonstrators packed the streets of Caracas on Tuesday cheering for Venezuela's opposition, who said they had vote tallies to prove that President Nicolas Maduro had lost Sunday's election in a landslide -- despite the country's election authority declaring his victory. Opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez waved what appeared to be tally sheets at the crowds, alongside opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, who was barred from running in the election but spearheaded the campaign for Gonzalez. They said Gonzalez had more than twice as many votes as Maduro in the presidential election, based on the 90% of vote tallies they had been able to access. "With these numbers, we will begin the reconstruction of Venezuela hand in hand with all of you," Gonzalez told the crowd. ::July 28, 2024 Venezuela's electoral authority had announced on Monday that the incumbent president had secured a third term with 51% of the vote, saying he'd won "the majority of valid votes." But the opposition alleges the electoral body's bias towards the dictatorial government. ::July 28, 2024 The U.S.-based Carter Center, which observed the vote, said in a statement late on Tuesday, the election "did not meet international standards of electoral integrity and cannot be considered democratic." It added that the electoral authority's failure to publish disaggregated results amounts to a "serious breach," outlining what it said was a deeply flawed process from start to finish. Protests have erupted across the country, with voters demanding transparency in the election. At least 11 people have been killed in incidents related to the count or associated protests, according to a local human rights group. As tensions ran high, cameras have captured police hitting and kicking protesters before detaining them. Maduro's government has denounced the protests as an attempted coup. On Tuesday evening, the president ordered military and police patrols across the country. He also called Gonzalez a coward, and Machado a terrorist, accusing them of fomenting violence.1 day ago

- 2:22Kamala Harris pledges to win Georgia at spirited Atlanta rallyReuters VideosSTORY: Likely Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris held a spirited rally in Atlanta on Tuesday that highlighted the new energy she has brought to November’s election against Republican nominee Donald Trump. "So the momentum in this race is shifting and there are signs that Donald Trump is feeling it." The Vice President took jabs at Trump and his running mate JD Vance. “And by the way, don't you find some of their stuff to just be plain weird?” There are less than 100 days to go in one of the least predictable election seasons in recent memory. Since Biden ended his reelection bid just over a week ago, Harris has significantly outperformed him in recent polling among young people, Black voters and Hispanic voters. A Reuters/Ipsos poll published on Tuesday showed Harris with a one point lead over Trump, down from two points a week earlier. She was joined in Atlanta by rappers Quavo and Megan Thee Stallion, who performed before Harris’ speech. Harris pledged Democrats would win Georgia, a swing state the party had written off which could play a decisive role in November. She also taunted Trump for backing out of a debate with her. “Well, Donald, I do hope you'll reconsider to meet me on the debate stage, because, as the saying goes, 'if you've got something to say, say it to my face.” Harris also appeared to embrace some Biden policy priorities– vowing to bring down prices on day one of her presidency. She said she would ban more hidden banking fees, take on corporate landlords and "cap unfair rent increases." After her speech, Harris appeared on a Zoom call with supporters, telling them "this is a sprint" and asking them to volunteer. Her quickly-assembled campaign has raised $200 million since Biden dropped out, and signed up 170,000 new volunteers. Sources say Harris will reveal her new vice presidential nominee at a rally on Tuesday in Philadelphia. The location suggests Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has moved to the top of a short list of running mates.1 day ago

They are attacking the people, the opposition witnesses who were in the voting centers. They are attacking all the political leaders." ::Mexico City ::Diego Pena Venezuelan living in Mexico "I believe it is time for the international community to show the support they claim to give to Venezuela because, unfortunately, they have turned a blind eye many times and left the Venezuelan people to die in the streets." In the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires, demonstrators gathered outside the Venezuelan embassy, waving flags and holding signs that read "Everyone knows it was a fraud". A Venezuelan community in Santiago, Chile's capital, gathered in the west of the city to protest against the election of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro. While those living in Mexico City protested at the iconic monument Angel of Independence monument, chanting slogans and calling for international intervention to safeguard democracy in Venezuela. These follow protests that have erupted across Venezuela since Monday (July 29) after electoral authorities declared that incumbent President Nicolas Maduro had won a third term in office with 51% of the vote, extending the Chavista movement's quarter-century rule. The Venezuelan community across Latin America has grown significantly in recent years, with many fleeing economic crisis and political instability.1 day ago

"Donald Trump on the other hand, has been talking a big game about securing our border, but he does not walk the walk. As president, I will bring back the border security bill that Donald Trump killed. And I will sign it into law and show Donald Trump what real leadership looks like." :: Harris also pledged to fight price gouging and hidden bank fees if she wins "Our economy is the strongest in the world, but while inflation is down and wages are up, prices are still too high. And when we win this election, here's what we're going to do about it. On day one, I will take on price gouging and bring down costs. And we are not going." Harris remarked that some of the claims made by the Republican duo about her are "plain weird." She invited Trump to reconsider meeting her on the debate stage to address his criticisms face-to-face. She concluded the event by asserting that the momentum of the presidential race is shifting, and there are indications that Trump is feeling the pressure. The spirited Atlanta rally featured appearances by rappers Megan Thee Stallion and Quavo. A New York Times/Siena College national poll published on Thursday showed Harris narrowing a significant lead by Trump, while a Wall Street Journal poll published on Friday indicated Trump held a two-point lead. A Reuters/Ipsos poll published on Tuesday showed Harris with a one-point lead over Trump, down from two points in a July 23 poll. The Harris campaign is considering Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, and Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota as potential vice presidential candidates, with a decision expected by August 7. Harris is emphasizing her background as a former district attorney and California attorney general, seeking to contrast herself with Trump, who is the first former president to be convicted of felony crimes.1 day ago

- 2:41Protests erupt across Venezuela as Maduro claims election winReuters VideosSTORY: Protests erupted across Venezuela Monday, shortly after sitting President Nicolas Maduro was declared winner in a disputed election. Their results were met with doubt in Washington and beyond and independent pollsters have called the official numbers implausible. In the Caracas neighborhood of El Valle and the city of Maracay, police fired tear gas while protesters blocked roads. A large statue of late president Hugo Chavez, a mentor to Maduro, was torn down in the city of Coro. And in the pro-government stronghold of Catia, there was a traditional 'cacerolazo' protest banging pots and pans. “I came to the street, we want freedom. We are tired of this government, we want a change. We want to be free in Venezuela. We want our families to return here, we don’t want them to leave anymore. We want to be free with our families.” The United States in 2018 called Maduro’s re-election at that time to be fraudulent. His most recent win cements his third term in office, and extends the socialist party's 25-year-rule. Throughout the years, Maduro has presided over an economic collapse, the migration of about a third of the population and sanctions imposed by the U.S. The Venezuelan electoral authority said Maduro won 51% of the vote on Sunday. But independent pollsters say it was a decisive win for opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez. Gonzalez has repeatedly warned against bloodshed. However on TV Monday evening, Maduro claimed paid agitators assaulted electoral agency offices. “We are familiar with this movie and we know how to face these situations and how to defeat the violent.” Shortly after the results of Sunday's election were announced, opposition leader Maria Corina Machado said the opposition won 73.2% of the voting tallies. Maduro's rival, the former diplomat Gonzalez, spoke to an audience: "We have in our hands the tallies that demonstrate our categorical and mathematically irreversible victory." The opposition's numbers are sharply different to the country's electoral commission, which called the election for Maduro with 51% of the vote. Machado called on supporters to gather in front of UN offices in Caracas on Tuesday, while Maduro's campaign manager has called on their supporters to march Tuesday as well. Venezuela’s defense minister has warned against allowing a repeat of the "terrible situations of 2014, 2017 and 2019". In those years, anti-government protesters took to the streets and hundreds were killed.2 days ago

- 1:24Harris vice president race narrows with Cooper, Whitmer outReuters VideosSTORY: The list of potential running mates for Kamala Harris narrowed on Monday. North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer both say they're not in the running to join the presumptive Democratic U.S. presidential nominee on the ticket. The high-stakes decision has taken center-stage since Vice President Harris became the Democratic frontrunner for the November election just over a week ago after President Joe Biden ended his White House bid. :: File :: “wasn’t the right time for North Carolina and for me to potentially be on a national ticket." - Roy Cooper, North Carolina Governor Cooper withdrew from Harris' vice presidential candidate pool on Monday, saying in a statement that he was honored to be considered, but that it “wasn’t the right time for North Carolina and for me to potentially be on a national ticket." On the same day, Whitmer said on CBS that she was "not a part of the vetting" process for Harris' running mate. Vice presidential nominees can be used to balance a presidential candidate's ticket to appeal to a wider swath of voters. Harris is weighing a list of mostly white, male candidates. She took a break from the campaign trail this weekend and held private conversations with several of the candidates, including Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, according to two sources familiar with the calls. Others under consideration include Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, U.S. Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg.2 days ago
