Photos reveal Chile's pursuit of Venezuelan crime syndicate branded a terror threat by Trump

ARICA, Chile (AP) — Chilean prosecutors brought a record number of gang members to trial after a yearslong investigation into Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan crime syndicate designated a foreign terrorist group by U.S. President Donald Trump. The Chilean case dismantled the gang's northern Chile offshoot, known as Los Gallegos, and highlighted the value of long-term investigations as public enthusiasm grows for a more ruthless approach.

Multiple people sought over missing 22-year-old woman last seen near suspension bridge

Officers investigating the disappearance of a 22-year-old woman are looking for multiple people who "may hold information vital to their enquiries". Gwenno Ephraim was last seen on the night of Monday, July 28, in the upper Bangor area. CCTV images revealed that Gwenno walked alone in the direction of the Menai Bridge late on that Monday evening, between the hours of 10.20pm and 11.10pm. Personal items, believed to belong to Gwenno, were subsequently found on the Menai Suspension Bridge on Tuesday morning. A major sea search has been carried out in the area, with an HM Coastguard search and rescue helicopter, multiple rescue teams and RNLI lifeboats deployed in the search, but Gwenno has not been located.

The appeal stated: "Our enquiries to date lead us to believe that Gwenno may have entered the waters of the Menai Strait." Police released further CCTV images on Tuesday (August 4) and confirmed they now wanted talk to a female pedestrian crossing the bridge at a similar time to Gwenno to see if they could assist with the investigation. They also want to speak to a cyclist and the drivers and any passengers in three vehicles who were also travelling across the bridge around the time they believe Gwenno may have reached the crossing over the Menai Strait. The vehicles are a Silver Audi TT, a black Skoda Octavia, and a grey BMW 116. Chief Inspector Stephen Pawson said: "Extensive searches remain underway in the Menai Strait area, and we continue to provide support to Gwenno's family during this extremely difficult time. 'Having analysed CCTV footage, we are confident that Gwenno reached the Menai Suspension Bridge shortly before 11:10pm. "This footage also captures a female pedestrian crossing on the opposite side of the bridge at that time. We're appealing for this individual to come forward and assist with the investigation. 'We're also keen to speak with a cyclist and the drivers of three cars who were all seen travelling across the bridge at around the same time. 'These vehicles included a Silver Audi TT, a black Skoda Octavia, and a grey BMW 116. "We are grateful to all who have responded to our prior requests for information, and to those who have assisted in our investigation to date."

Trump admin live updates: Trump to sign EO forming Olympics 2028 task force

Live Trump has long touted that he helped secure the 2028 Olympics for the U.S. 2:25 President Donald Trump speaks with reporters at Lehigh Valley International Airport, Aug. 3, 2025, in Allentown, Pa. Brendan Smialowski/AFP via Getty Images By President Donald Trump is back to Washington, where he says he's expecting this week to hire a new commissioner for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The president's envoy is expected to travel this week to Russia, as the White House continues pushing for negotiations to end Moscow's war in Ukraine. Latest headlines: Aug 04, 2025, 7:19 PM EDT Anonymous victims oppose Epstein grand jury files release Aug 04, 2025, 2:56 PM EDT Trump megabill could add $4.1T to deficit over next decade, new analysis states Aug 04, 2025, 2:35 PM EDT India responds to Trump's tariff hike Here's how the news is developing. 3 Updates Aug 04, 2025, 2:56 PM EDT Trump megabill could add $4.1T to deficit over next decade, new analysis states A new analysis from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said President Donald Trump's sweeping tax cut and spending bill passed last month will create $718 billion in additional debt-service costs, bringing the law's overall debt projection to $4.1 trillion over 10 years. "As a result, and net of any changes in borrowing for federal credit programs, the agency estimates that the legislation will increase debt held by the public at the end of 2034 by 9.5 percentage points relative to CBO's January 2025 baseline budgetary projections of gross domestic product (GDP). Other factors, such as administrative actions affecting tariffs and immigration, also have affected deficits and debt since January 2025 and will be reflected in CBO's next baseline," the report stated. < Previously, the CBO said the Senate's final version of Trump's massive policy and tax bill would add $3.4 trillion to the deficit over the next decade. The new analysis released on Monday comes after Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., requested an update on the bill's impact on the debt. -ABC News' Lauren Peller India responds to Trump's tariff hike The Indian government responded on Monday after President Donald Trump posted on social media that he will be "substantially raising" tariffs on the nation over its purchases of Russian oil. India's Ministry of External Affairs released a statement detailing why it buys certain commodities from Russia and called the targeting of India "unjustified and unreasonable." "India's imports are meant to ensure predictable and affordable energy costs to the Indian consumer. They are a necessity compelled by global market situation. However, it is revealing that the very nations criticizing India are themselves indulging in trade with Russia. Unlike our case, such trade is not even a vital national compulsion," the ministry said. Aug 04, 2025, 11:43 AM EDT Trump says he's 'substantially raising' tariffs on India over Russian oil President Donald Trump posted on social media that he will be "substantially raising" tariffs on India over its purchases of Russian oil. "India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits. They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine. Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tariff paid by India to the USA," Trump wrote. Last week, Trump announced that India will be paying a 25% tariff plus a penalty due to its trade relations with Russia. He hasn't revealed what the penalty would be. His post comes as Trump gave Russia a 10-day deadline, which expires on Friday, to negotiate a ceasefire with Ukraine or else face sanctions. -ABC News' Lalee Ibssa Aug 04, 2025, 9:53 AM EDT Trump says he'll pick an 'exceptional' BLS replacement, continues unfounded claims numbers were 'rigged' President Donald Trump continues to push unfounded claims that last Friday's jobs report was "rigged" in favor of Democrats "in order to make a great Republican Success look less stellar." "I will pick an exceptional replacement," Trump posted on his social media platform. His post comes as the White House says Trump wants his "own people" in charge of the jobs data. Kevin Hassett, the director of the National Economic Council, defended Trump's decision to fire the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics during an appearance on CNBC. "If I'm running the BLS and I have the biggest revision, really think about it, the biggest revision outside of covid in 50 years, then it's incumbent on me to explain why in a very transparent way, to show how the numbers add up, to show exactly where the revision came from and what you're doing to address it so it doesn't happen again. If you don't do that, then you create a circumstance where politicians are going to wonder," he said. Hassett went on to say there was a need to modernize the labor data as he notes Trump wants to get "his people" into the BLS. Though, Hassett did admit the jobs numbers were slower than expected.
