Venezuela opposition backs Gonzalez as presidential candidate
Venezuela's major opposition coalition will back Edmundo Gonzalez as its unity presidential candidate for July's election, its leadership said on Friday, after intense internal negotiations to determine who could take on President Nicolas Maduro. The campaign has already been marked by arrests and bans on candidates, with critics alleging that Maduro's ruling party has prevented a free and fair election. Gonzalez, a former ambassador, is already registered to compete in the contest, after his name was put forward as a placeholder after both the winner of the opposition primary and her alternate were both unable to register.
ReutersUS Senate has agreement on FISA reauthorization, will vote on Friday night, Schumer says
The U.S. Senate has reached an agreement to approve the reauthorization of a controversial surveillance program and plans to vote on it on Friday night, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said. If the Senate votes to reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which the House approved last week, it would secure what supporters call a key element of the United States' foreign intelligence-gathering operation. "It's an important part of our national security toolkit and helps law enforcement stop terrorist attacks, drug trafficking, and violent extremism," Schumer said in a written statement.

PHILAELPHIA (AP) — Alec Bohm's first homer of the game was hit the opposite way into the right-field seats. His second homer was lofted high into the left-center section.

Bohm provided a needed dose of pop on the same night Philadelphia right-hander Spencer Turnb

Ecuador president declares state of emergency over energy crisis
Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa declared a second state of emergency on Friday over an energy crisis that has already led to rationing in the South American country. Noboa, who took office in November, had declared an energy emergency and instituted power cuts earlier this week, but the cuts will be suspended on Sunday for a referendum he looks set to win on a raft of security measures. His first emergency declaration, in January, sought to tame surging crime by allowing more coordination between the military and police.
