Congressional Republicans threaten revolt over Trump-led defence shake-up

Senate and House committee chairs warn against plan for US to relinquish command of Nato forces in Europe “Therefore, we are very concerned about reports that claim DoD is considering unilateral changes on major strategic issues, including significant reductions to US forces stationed abroad, absent coordination with the White House and Congress. Such moves risk undermining American deterrence around the globe and detracting from our negotiating positions with America's adversaries.” Trump has already floated the idea of refusing to defend any Nato member that is attacked – an obligation enshrined under Nato's article five – if it is deemed to have fallen short of its defence spending commitments. It represents a jarring departure from Republicans' meek acceptance of White House encroachment on congressional prerogatives over spending in the two months since Trump returned to office, which has seen Elon Musk's “department of government efficiency” impose brutal cuts on government.

İmamoğlu and more than 100 others were ordered to be detained in two separate cases brought by the Istanbul prosecutor's office. The justice minister, Yılmaz Tunç, rebuffed suggestions that İmamoğlu's arrest was politicised, and labelled calls for street protests as “disinformation”. The 53-year-old mayor, who swept into office on a wave of popular support in 2019, defying efforts to annul his first victory and later a political ban, is widely seen as Erdoğan's nemesis and his only true challenger.

Sales of Vietnamese doll plunge over face marking like China's ‘nine-dash line'

Regional tensions over the South China Sea have tanked the sales of a popular children's doll in Vietnam after it was put under investigation and accused of being unpatriotic because a design marking appeared to resemble China's “nine-dash line”. Between September, when it first gained popularity, and December the dolls reportedly generated US$1.6m in sales. An international tribunal in The Hague has ruled China's territorial claim invalid and it is disputed by countries including Vietnam. According to data cited by state media from YouNet ECI, an e-commerce data analysis platform, the average price of Baby Three on Shopee and TikTok Shop halved in the first 10 weeks of 2025. “Almost all children started to boycott [the dolls] because they saw it as a nationalistic issue, thinking that buying Baby Three was unpatriotic,” one vendor told AFP.

Huawei, for example, had become the “single most formidable technology company in China”, having “conquered every market they've engaged”. Huang argued US efforts to constrain the Chinese company had been “done poorly”, as evidenced by Huawei's continued success.

Trump administration ‘villainizes' immigrant families with misleading directive on food aid

Source: The Guardian US   Published: 2025-03-20 10:00:00

Experts warn new memo could deter families from accessing food assistance, despite no changes to eligibility rules Undocumented immigrants have been ineligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap), which is used by more than 42 million people, long before Trump's first term, and even immigrants who are authorized to be in the US have to wait five years before applying. Based on Census Bureau data from 2016 through 2019, Migration Policy Institute researchers found that participation in Snap, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (Tanf) and Medicaid declined twice as fast among noncitizens as citizens during the first three years of the first Trump administration. “Though their plans to restrict any policy requirements are currently vague, my concern is that even an announcement of an intent to target these programs could have a chilling effect amongst immigrant families, like what happened with Snap and the 2019 public charge rule,” she said. “They're pivoting their concerns to an ideological attack on immigrants, which isn't even based in fact or reality.”

It went on: “This instability is evident across key policy areas including health and justice.

Mr Tyson also played down any talk of Ms Williams and Mr Wilmore's mental status being affected, pointing out NASA selects its astronauts based on both strength of body and mind. Ms Williams, and fellow astronaut Butch Wilmore, were flown back from the ISS late Tuesday/early Wednesday. At the crux of these issues is the different levels of gravity on Earth and in space; for example, muscles activated by our everyday tasks here weaker because they don't need to work as hard in space. "If I were NASA, or any other space agency, given how many rockets are available to us today, I'd put a rocket on reserve just for this occasion," Mr Tyson said.

Trump threatens Houthi rebels that they'll be 'completely annihilated' as airstrikes pound Yemen

Smoke rises from a location reportedly struck by U.S. airstrikes in Sanaa, Yemen, Wednesday, March 19, 2025. DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Yemen's Houthi rebels on Wednesday that they'll be “completely annihilated” as American airstrikes pounded locations under their control, while further pressuring the group's main benefactor Iran. The first strikes this weekend killed at least 53 people, including children, and wounded others. Iran has long armed the Houthis, who are members of Islam's minority Shiite Zaydi sect that ruled Yemen for 1,000 years until 1962. That's likely because Tehran wants to avoid sanctions for violating a United Nations arms embargo on the Houthis.

Recent Four Nations competition, which excluded Russia, clearly got beneath the skin of hockey-loving strongman Amid the somewhat murky details emerging from Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin's call on Tuesday – the two leaders discussed a halt on attacking energy infrastructure, then Russia immediately bombed Ukraine's energy infrastructure – one deal, at least, was clear: the US and Russia would resume playing ice hockey. So when Russia was booted from international hockey competition after it invaded Ukraine, that hurt Putin even more: the latest insult from a west that would never truly respect it.

Indonesia has ratified controversial changes to its military law allowing armed forces personnel to hold more civilian posts, a move that analysts fear could usher in a resurgence of the military in government affairs. The country is now led by President Prabowo Subianto, an ex-special forces general and former Suharto son-in-law, who was inaugurated in October. “President Prabowo appears intent on restoring the Indonesian military's role in civilian affairs, which were long characterised by widespread abuses and impunity,” said Andreas Harsono, senior Indonesia researcher at Human Rights Watch. Kennedy Muslim, a political analyst from Indonesian pollster Indikator, said: “We've seen this creeping militarisation for quite some time, that's why civil society is right to be alarmed by this trend.

About 70 pages of director's handwritten notes for the New Wave classic were found after more than 60 years The only known script for Jean-Luc Godard's seminal New Wave film Breathless (À Bout de Souffle) will be auctioned later this year after coming to light for the first time in more than 60 years. Breathless, which follows the doomed affair between an American student in Paris (Jean Seberg) and her hoodlum boyfriend who is wanted for gunning down a police officer (Jean-Paul Belmondo), is a keystone of France's Nouvelle Vague movement that shook the cinema world, including Hollywood. De Beauregard, another of the movement's key figures, had met Godard through Truffaut, and made a leap of faith in agreeing to produce Breathless, the then unknown director's first full-length film. Sotheby's says it is describing the manuscript as “partial”, not because anything is missing but because Godard did not submit a full synopsis and script to the ministry of culture's National Centre of Cinematography and Animated Pictures, as would have been normal at the time, and made much of it up as he went along.

"We condemn any instances of violence or intolerance directed toward members of minority communities in any country and have welcomed measures taken by Bangladesh's interim government to ensure safety and security for all in Bangladesh. The Bangladesh interim government has expressed deep concern over Tulsi Gabbard's remarks on an "Islamist caliphate," stating that her comments are both "misleading and damaging" to the country's image and reputation. Condemning Gabbard's statement, the Bangladesh government said her comments were not based on any evidence and unfairly generalised an entire nation.

Investigation uncovered eight adverts that portrayed women in a harmful or degrading way, says ASA An investigation by the UK advertising watchdog has found a number of shocking ads in mobile gaming apps that depict women as sexual objects, use pornographic tropes, and feature non-consensual sexual scenarios involving “violent and coercive control”. The ad moved on to animated content featuring text conversations with three manga-style young men. The ASA also identified three ads for Love Sparks: Dating Sim, which were shown to its female child and adult male avatars.

UK cybersecurity agency warns over risk of quantum hackers

Source: The Guardian   Published: 2025-03-20 00:01:53

Organisations including energy and transport firms told to guard systems against powerful new computers As a result, quantum computers can in theory compute their way through vast numbers of different outcomes and carry out far bigger calculations than previously thought possible. However, qubits are extremely vulnerable to the slightest interference including minor temperature changes and cosmic rays, a key reason why a large-scale quantum computer has yet to be developed despite significant investment from tech firms. The NCSC is hoping its new advice will give organisations plenty of time to be ready for when quantum computers come onstream. “Now that there are new methods for public key encryption, it makes sense to migrate now rather than wait for the threat to becoming real,” said Alan Woodward, a professor of cybersecurity at Surrey University.

MORNING GLORY: Many federal judges are overstepping their power, but 'impeachment!' is not the answer

Trump fired Dellinger early on in Term 2 —and it is settled law that it is Trump's right to do just that— but Dellinger made a play for a district court order preventing the firing…and got one from U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in D.C.! Now President Trump is jumping on that trampoline — just as FDR did early in his presidency — to see how high presidential power can go. Trump will lose some cases, however, including, I think, his attempt to curtail "birthright citizenship" via executive order.

Week in Business: Is Keir Starmer leading the UK into recession?

Source: City A.M.   Published: 2025-03-20 13:38:17

In his article Starmer heaps praise on “entrepreneurs who work day and night to build a business from scratch” and the “family companies that have passed know-how across the generations.” Those entrepreneurs are currently braced for a spike in the cost of employing people in their fledgling businesses while the family firms that Starmer celebrates have been knocked for six by potentially ruinous changes to the inheritance tax system. On the day that the PM's article ran in City AM, the Resolution Foundation – a think tank with close links to Downing Street – warned that the UK was entering recession territory as firms adapt to a wave of cost and tax increases coming into effect next month, alongside the imposition of new employment legislation that makes a mockery of Starmer's claim to be slashing regulations that hold businesses back. It isn't actually that radical at all, it should have happened years ago and we can slam the Tories for not lifting a finger in this area but we shouldn't confuse this government's regulatory housekeeping with a Bing Bang style revolution, because it isn't.

Powell did not shy away from the impact of Trump's tariffs during a highly anticipated press conference Wednesday. Powell then called a transitory effect on prices "kind of the base case but we really can't know that" as he maintained the Fed's long-held wait-and-see approach to actually responding to Trump's still unfolding economic agenda. "Tariffs are a one-time price adjustment," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in another recent example. Trump's pointed comments on rates follow a period when Trump has softened his criticisms of the Fed's monetary policy decisions and even made it clear he doesn't intend to fire Powell, someone he criticized repeatedly during his first term. But it's clear the White House does want a closer relationship with the central bank — and other independent agencies — after issuing a new executive order last week that gives Trump's appointees more power over such agencies.

However, none of that may matter for a Patriots squad desperate to surround quarterback Drake Maye, the third overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, with pass-catching talent. Tight end Hunter Henry and wide receiver Demario Douglas co-led the Patriots in catches (66) while Hunter led the team in yards receiving (674). He helped 2024 NFL MVP and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen take a leap in his development after coming over in a trade from the Minnesota Vikings in 2020, and if the Patriots decide to sign him, that would indicate New England feels Diggs can perhaps do something similar for Maye.

Amid plummeting diversity at medical schools, a warning of DEI crackdown's ‘chilling effect'

Source: News-Medical.Net   Published: 2025-03-20 10:52:00

Since taking office, President Donald Trump has issued a handful of executive orders aimed at terminating all diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI, initiatives in federally funded programs. Last month, the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights — which lost about 50% of its staff in mid-March — directed schools, including postsecondary institutions, to end race-based programs or risk losing federal funding. Utibe Essien, a physician and UCLA assistant professor, said he has heard from some students who fear they won't be considered for admission under the new policies. In this interview, News Medical speaks with Olivier Negre, Chief Scientific Officer at Smart Immune, about how immunotherapy is being revolutionized.
