Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's space company blasts its first rocket into orbit in a challenge to Elon Musk.

The mission was partially successful after the booster that propelled the rocket into space failed to land on a platform in the ocean.

Layoffs come at a time of growing losses and turmoil over editorial decisions at the US newspaper.

The Amazon and Blue Origin founder is one of several tech leaders who has made the trip to Mar-a-Lago.

In February, Mr Bezos announced that he would sell shares in technology giant worth around $8.5bn.

The firm had previously said its founder would sell up to 50 million shares by the end of January 2025.

The multi-billionaire moved to Florida last year, which has no state tax on share sales above $250,000.
