CNN —Three people have been charged in Argentina for crimes related to the death of Liam Payne, a former member of the boyband One Direction, according to the public prosecutor’s office. The British pop star, who was 31, died on October 16 after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The late singer had alcohol, cocaine, and a prescription antidepressant in his system before his death, according to the prosecutor’s statement. The first individual is someone whom authorities believe spent time with Payne “on a daily basis” during his visit to Buenos Aires. Payne’s cell phone also underwent a “forensic extraction,” and authorities were able to analyze calls, text messages, chats in messaging and social media apps, the prosecutor’s office wrote.

The officials reiterated that the DHS has not yet seen a surge in migrants heading to the United States. "The fact remains: the United States continues to enforce immigration law, and migrants should use safe, lawful, and orderly pathways to come to the United States," the spokesperson added. “After the 21 of January he’ll close the borders with extreme security,” said one person on WhatsApp on Wednesday morning, referring to the day after Trump takes office. Banda said there is a feeling of uncertainty among migrants at his shelter, but he tries to keep them calm. And while caravans like these are nothing new, he said, he’s ready for more migrants to potentially head to the Nogales area before Trump takes office.

CNN —An armed group has taken control of a military post in central Bolivia, the country’s armed forces said on Friday. According to the Bolivian military’s statement, the “irregular armed group” kidnapped military personnel and seized weapons and ammunition from the base situated near the central Bolivian city of Cochabamba. Bolivian president Luis Arce said that the armed group was “affiliated” with former president Evo Morales, but did not offer evidence for the claim. The blockades, which Bolivian police said involve “violent armed groups,” have led to food and fuel shortages in some cities. CNN has reached out to the Bolivian government for more information on the events at the military base.

Experts told BI that all three companies face slumping EV sales and brutal competition in China. BMW and Mercedes-Benz have issued profit warnings in recent weeks amid slumping EV sales in Europe and brutal competition in China, while Volkswagen is also facing a reckoning. German carmakers are losing out to Chinese EV makers such as BYD. She added that Mercedes, BMW, and Volkswagen offer comparatively few hybrid and extended-range vehicles — categories that have proven extremely popular in China. Slow sales in EuropeAt the same time, Germany's automakers are also dealing with a slowdown in EV sales in Europe.

But some countries make motorists more nervous than others. A survey published in October shows drivers are most concerned about getting behind the wheel in India. With a score of 7.15 out of 10, India had the average highest score out of 49 countries in the survey. The survey is not based on statistical information, such as roadway safety or fatalities, but perceptions of drivability among non-locals. The top 10 list is a mix of countries across Asia, Africa and South America.

She saved up for a yearlong adventure in South America, planning to move back to Canada at the end. AdvertisementI often think back to the day I arrived in Cuenca, Ecuador, the Andean city that accidentally became my home. It was 2018, I was 27, and halfway into what was intended to be a yearlong adventure in South America. But as the years passed, the city felt too fast-paced, I was stressed out, and everything was expensive. When I returned home, my life felt limited, and I wanted what she had.

☆ More than 1 in 3 tree species are at risk of going extinct, new analysis shows

CNN —The world’s trees are in critical danger, with a staggering number of tree species teetering on the brink of extinction, according to a new global analysis released Monday. The decade-long project found that more than one in three tree species are threatened with extinction, underscoring the scale of the crisis facing our planet’s ecosystems. Kadir van Lohuizen/NOOR/Redux/FILEThe highest portion of threatened trees is found on islands like Fiji, Cuba and Madagascar. The Red List is considered the most comprehensive global source for threatened species and extinction information. Being listed as a threatened species means that the species faces the risk of extinction, sending a serious warning sign that calls on governments and organizations to take urgent conservation efforts to prevent a species’ extinction.

LA PAZ, Bolivia — Bolivian ex-president Evo Morales said on Sunday his vehicle was fired upon amid rising political tensions in the South American country between a faction around the iconic former leader and the government of his former ally, President Luis Arce. Morales posted a video on Facebook taken inside a moving car, showing him sitting in the front passenger seat and at least two bullet holes in the windshield. Morales and Arce, his former economy minister, are both part of the same socialist MAS political party but have clashed over the last year, part of a power struggle ahead of 2025 elections. Morales is also facing allegations that he had relationships with minors. He was formally summoned by regional prosecutors to testify in the case but did not appear, and now faces an arrest warrant.

☆ Former Bolivian president says his car was hit by gunfire in attempted assassination

CNN —Bolivia’s former president Evo Morales said his car was fired on in what he claimed was an “assassination attempt” amid simmering political tensions in the South American country. Morales posted to his Instagram profile a statement from his party, Movement Towards Socialism (MAS), blaming the attack on current Bolivian President Luis Arce and two of his government ministers. Throughout the past year, Morales has clashed with sitting president Arce – his fellow MAS party member and former ally – as both politicians battle for reelection in 2025. The blockades were established after the government announced a judicial investigation into the former president over an alleged case of human trafficking. Morales denies having committed any crime and attributed the investigation to political persecution by Arce.

☆ Republican EV attacks are flooding Michigan, putting Democrats on the defensive in a critical battleground

EV supporters point to dozens of new EV and battery plants announced in Michigan in the last two years. Political strategists told Business Insider that the anti-EV messaging was drowning out positive ones in Michigan, putting Democrats on the defensive in a critical battleground. "We've run some advertising trying to make the massive surge of new EV manufacturing at jobs in Michigan famous, because nobody knows about them," Murphy said. But that analysis didn't account for jobs created by new EV and battery manufacturing plants popping up across the country. Democrats are hitting back on Republicans' EV attacks, arguing that the US has to build its own domestic EV manufacturing base to compete with China.

The Twrl founders say they hope the initiative they took moves those conversations forward and educates some people along the way. Later, Taiwan would claim to be the birthplace of the boba drink concept, a sweet concoction of an aromatic tea, milk and boba balls. The first U.S. boba drink shops opened in the 1990s but there’s conflicting reports on whether the San Francisco Bay Area or Southern California was the starting point, Phun said. But it didn’t come from a place of, ‘I really love boba tea,’” she said. Meanwhile, the “Dragons’ Den” episode led to some significant fallout.
