Newsday

Available for over a year

The Venezuelan President, Nicolas Maduro, has refused to rule out a civil war, saying it depended on the degree of aggression from the United States and its allies. Search teams say the wreckage has been found of a small plane that disappeared between France and Britain, carrying the Argentine footballer, Emiliano Sala. The Pentagon has confirmed that it will deploy some 2,000 additional troops to the Mexican border over the next three months.
