About North America
Narrated by Tom Selleck and featuring Bon Jovi's `Army of One' as its theme song, the sweeping seven-part documentary `North America' captures a land where life collides with hostile, untamed wilderness in one of the most diverse, deadly environments on Earth. The series, which took more than three years to produce, includes stories of animals struggling to survive unforgiving weather and rugged terrain, from the frigid Yukon Territory and the lush forests of Belize, to the snow-capped Rocky Mountains and the barren deserts of the American Southwest. A `making of' episode chronicles the challenges faced by the production team, including Hurricane Irene and other natural disasters. … MORE

Binance chief pleads guilty to money laundering
By James ClaytonBBC North America technology reporter
The chief executive of Binance, Changpeng Zhao , has resigned after Pleading Guilty to Money Laundering .
" I made mistakes, and I must take responsibility. This is best for our community, for Binance, and for myself" He Said in a post on X.
The Justice Department said it was requiring Binance, the largest crypto-exchange in The World , to pay $4. 3bn (£3. 4bn) in penalties and forfeitures.
It said Binance had helped users bypass sanctions across The World .
" Binance enabled nearly $900 million in transactions Between Us and Iranian users, and facilitated millions of dollars in transactions Between Us users and users In Syria , and in The Russian occupied Ukrainian regions of Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk" a spokesperson said.
Binance, which is registered in the Cayman Islands , is known as The World 's largest platform for buying and selling cryptocurrencies and other digital assets.
In March, US regulators sought to ban it, alleging that The Firm had been operating in the country illegally.
The lawsuit from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) said The Firm cultivated US business while failing to register properly with authorities.
It accused Binance of breaking numerous US financial laws, including rules intended to thwart Money Laundering .
At The Time , Binance defended its practices.
It said it had made " significant investments" to ensure that US users were not active on The Platform , including blocking users identified as American citizens or residents, or who had a US mobile number.
The Firm was also hit with another lawsuit in June.
The Company was accused of a " web of deception" by The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Agency said the trading platform and Zhao, its founder, ignored The Rules meant to protect investors, in order to keep operating in the US.
At The Time , Binance said it would defend itself " vigorously".
US authorities had pledged to use existing laws to root out fraud and other issues in the crypto industry, especially after the dramatic collapse of Binance rival FTX Last Year .
Earlier this month Sam Bankman-Fried, The Founder of FTX, was found guilty of fraud.
