Newsday

Available for over a year

The president of Chile, Sebastián Piñera, has said he's ready to meet opposition leaders as thousands of people defied a curfew to demonstrate. Israel's long-standing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he cannot form a government, handing the opportunity to his political rival.
