Ecuadorians vote to tighten security measures amid gang violence

BBC World Service - Newsday, Ecuadorians vote to tighten security measures amid gang violence

Ecuador has the highest murder rate in Latin America

Results of a referendum in Ecuador show voters have backed President Daniel Noboa's security measures to counter a surge in violence by drug gangs from around the world.

Ecuadorians overwhelmingly vote “yes” to  tightening security measures to crack down on criminal gangs. 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he will oppose any United States sanctions on the country’s military.

Civil defence workers in Gaza say they’ll continue searching the hospital grounds raided by Israeli forces in Khan Younis after finding at least 50 bodies since Friday. 

Also in the programme, we hear about a referendum in north Kosovo on whether to remove ethnic Albanian mayors in four municipalities whose appointment led to violence last year.

And, Newsday's Tom Hagler speaks to one of those closest to David Bowie from that period - his hair stylist, friend and roadie, Suzi Ronson -- the woman who crafted the singer's iconic red spiky Ziggy Stardust haircut.
