A Bolivian Air Force Hercules cargo plane transporting new banknotes from the Central Bank crashed near La Paz, killing at least 15 people and damaging around a dozen vehicles on a highway in the city of El Alto. Bills scattered across the crash site drew crowds attempting to collect the money while police in riot gear tried to disperse them

With 97 per cent of ballots counted, Paz won 54.5 per cent of the vote in Sunday’s run-off race, well ahead of right-wing former interim President Jorge “Tuto” Quiroga, who got 45.4 per cent
