The WikiLeaks founder has been indicted on 17 espionage charges and one charge of computer misuse over his websiteās publication of classified U.S. documents relating to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars almost 15 years ago.

Jorge Glas, Ecuador's former vice president, has been hospitalised following a tumultuous incident involving his removal from Mexico's embassy in Quito, which sparked a diplomatic dispute. Reports indicate that Glas, who had refrained from eating for 24 hours while in prison, was subsequently transferred to the Guayaquil naval hospital after falling ill. According to the SNAI prison authorities, he is now in stable condition. Additionally, it was stated that the former official, who had been provided political asylum by Mexico and had resided in the embassy since December, following two corruption convictions by Ecuadorian courts, will continue to be under medical observation. He is expected to be returned to prison soon.

According to protest organisers, hundreds of thousands of Argentines flooded the streets to express their outrage over cuts to higher public education under the newly elected President Javier Milei. Students, professors, parents, and alumni from the country's 57 state-run universities rallied together on Tuesday, uniting in defence of free public university education amidst the economic turmoil plaguing South America. Joined by labour unions, opposition parties, and private universities, the demonstrations spread from Buenos Aires to major cities like Cordoba, marking one of the largest protests against the austerity measures implemented since Milei assumed office in December. While police estimated around 100,000 participants in the capital alone, organisers claimed the number soared closer to half-a-million, effectively paralysing the city centre for hours.
