Published: Jan 10 2025, 5 ameznews.inDonald Trump's sentencing in a New York criminal case on Friday marks the conclusion of several legal battles he has faced after retaking the U.S. presidency, though he still contends with civil lawsuits potentially costing him hundreds of millions. In March 2023, Trump was charged with falsifying business records related to an alleged affair, leading to a May 2024 conviction on 34 felony counts, with a judge indicating he may avoid prison but face a permanent guilt judgment. Trump denies wrongdoing and plans to appeal. In Georgia, Trump and 18 associates were charged over efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, though prosecution has stalled due to a disqualified district attorney. Additional cases include federal charges over mishandled classified documents, a civil fraud ruling ordering him to pay $454 million, and liability for defaming E. Jean Carroll, resulting in over $88 million in damages. Trump continues to deny all allegations and is appealing various rulings.

Published: Jan 10 2025, 1 pmeznews.inSeth Abramson, a biographer of Elon Musk, has raised alarming concerns about the mental health and decision-making of the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, suggesting that his erratic behavior could pose risks to national stability in the United States.

He pointed to Musk's significant influence across critical industries and his role in the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) as factors that could jeopardize national security. Abramson urged the current administration to act before leaving office, recommending the termination of government contracts with Musk.

Published: Jan 10 2025, 1 pmeznews.inStunning images of Mercury have been captured by the BepiColombo spacecraft during its sixth and final flyby before entering orbit in 2026. Launched in 2018 and built by Airbus, BepiColombo flew just a few hundred kilometres above Mercury's north pole, revealing "icy craters" that remain in permanent shadow, as well as sunlit northern plains, according to the European Space Agency (ESA). Notably, the dark craters, including Prokofiev and Kandinsky, may contain frozen water, making them some of the coldest locations in the Solar System. ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher announced these findings in a recent press briefing, emphasizing the significance of the data gathered. BepiColombo's main mission will commence in two years, with plans to explore Mercury's enigmatic characteristics and the reasons behind its thin rocky veneer despite a massive iron core. The spacecraft will ultimately deploy two orbiters to further study the planet in 2027.
Published: Jan 10 2025, 1 pmeznews.inCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has dispatched firefighting resources to California, which is currently battling severe wildfires that have resulted in at least seven fatalities and the destruction of over 10,000 structures. Despite ongoing tensions with US President-elect Donald Trump, who has provocatively suggested making Canada the "51st state," Trudeau emphasized the importance of mutual support between neighbors. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he shared a video of a Canadian waterbomber in action, stating, "To our American neighbours: Canada's here to help." The wildfires, exacerbated by strong Santa Ana winds, have led to widespread evacuations, particularly due to the destructive Palisades and Eaton Fires. As conditions remain precarious, Trudeau's message underscores the commitment of Canada to assist its southern neighbor amidst a crisis, regardless of political rhetoric.
Published: Jan 10 2025, 11 ameznews.inA rare celestial event is set to captivate stargazers and astronomers alike on February 28, as all seven planets—Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Jupiter, and Mars—will align in the night sky. This planetary alignment, described by scientists as a rare coincidence, last occurred in April 2022 during a total solar eclipse over North America. Leading up to this event, six of the seven planets will begin to align starting January 21. While alignments of three to eight planets are not uncommon, seven-planet alignments are particularly rare. Although the planets will appear to line up along the ecliptic, they will not form a straight line due to their differing orbits in three-dimensional space. Stargazers are advised to seek dark, open areas for optimal viewing, as most planets will be visible to the naked eye, except for Neptune and Uranus, which may require a telescope.
Published: Jan 10 2025, 11 ameznews.inChandra Arya, an Indian-origin Liberal MP representing Nepean, has announced his candidacy for the leadership of Canada, aiming to become the next Prime Minister.

Arya, who moved to Canada from Karnataka over 20 years ago, previously worked as an engineer and entrepreneur before entering politics in 2015. His announcement follows current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's decision to step down. Arya gained attention in 2022 for speaking Kannada in the House of Commons, marking a historic moment for the language outside India. Additionally, he has been an advocate for Hindu Canadians and has addressed the underrepresentation of their community in politics, while also taking a firm stance on the Khalistan issue, which has led to tensions within his party.
