ID Requirement for All US Immigrants and Workers

The Trump administration has implemented a new immigration rule mandating that all immigrants in the United States carry proof of their legal status at all times. Effective from April 11, this directive, part of the executive order 'Protecting the American People Against Invasion', aims to intensify efforts against illegal immigration and facilitate the deportation of millions living unlawfully. Under the Alien Registration Requirement (ARR), all non-citizens aged 14 and older who stay for 30 days or more must register with the government using "Form G-325R." Those arriving post-April 11 must register within 30 days, while address changes must be reported within 10 days, with penalties for non-compliance potentially including fines or imprisonment. Although legal immigrants are exempt from re-registration, they must still carry documentation. The Department of Homeland Security has been directed to prioritize enforcement, signaling a significant shift towards stricter immigration policies. sources

Trump: "100%" Tariff Deal Possible with EU During Meloni Visit

US President Donald Trump expressed confidence in securing a trade deal with the European Union, stating he would "100 percent" finalize an agreement during a meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni at the White House. Meloni, the first European leader to visit Trump since he imposed a 20 percent tariff on EU exports, emphasized their shared conservative values and commitment to de-escalating trade tensions. While Trump reiterated his tariff stance, he acknowledged the desire for a deal, insisting he was "in no rush." Meloni's visit, aimed at fostering dialogue, raised concerns among EU allies about potential disruptions to bloc unity, particularly as she seeks to facilitate a meeting between Trump and EU chief Ursula von der Leyen. The backdrop of their discussions included differing views on Russia's war in Ukraine, with Meloni supporting Ukraine and Trump expressing discontent over the conflict's origins. sources

Zelensky: China Supplying Arms to Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused China of supplying weapons to Russia, intensifying tensions between Kyiv and Beijing. During a press conference in Kyiv, Zelensky stated that Ukraine had evidence of at least 155 Chinese nationals aiding Russia's invasion and mentioned the recent capture of two Chinese soldiers in the Donetsk region. He asserted, "We have finally received information that China is supplying weapons to the Russian Federation," and suggested that Chinese representatives might be involved in weapon production on Russian soil. While Zelensky did not provide further details, he expressed readiness to discuss the allegations. China, which has positioned itself as a neutral party in the ongoing conflict, dismissed Ukraine's claims as "irresponsible remarks" and called for restraint from all parties involved. This development underscores the complex geopolitical dynamics influencing the war, which has lasted for three years. sources

NASA Rover Discovers Evidence of Mars' Warm, Wet History

A mineral called siderite, discovered by NASA's Curiosity rover in rock samples from Gale Crater, is shedding light on Mars' warmer, wetter past, suggesting the planet once supported substantial bodies of water and possibly life. The rover, which has been exploring Mars since 2012, found siderite in sedimentary rocks dating back around 3.5 billion years, indicating a once-dense atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide that could have created a greenhouse effect, allowing liquid water to exist on the surface. This discovery challenges previous assumptions about the scarcity of carbonate minerals on Mars, as models predicted they should be widespread. The research highlights a significant shift in Mars' climate from a habitable environment to its current sterile state, raising questions about the fate of carbon dioxide over time. The findings could refine models of Martian climate evolution and enhance understanding of its ancient carbon cycle. sources

Trump's Immigration Curbs: Key Topic in Canada Polls Debate

As Canada approaches its federal election on April 28, immigration policies and the influence of US President Donald Trump's administration are dominating the discourse. During a pivotal French-language debate in Montreal, Liberal leader Mark Carney and Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre both advocated for immigration restrictions, with Carney proposing a temporary cap to address post-pandemic challenges. Poilievre supported reducing immigration levels to align population growth with housing and job availability. The debate also highlighted the need for Canada to strengthen its global partnerships in light of Trump's trade policies, with Carney asserting that "force" is respected in negotiations. Poilievre countered by promoting the export of Canadian liquefied natural gas to India as a means to significantly reduce global emissions. The debate also touched on international issues, including the Gaza crisis, with New Democratic Party leader Jagmeet Singh urging Carney to label the situation as genocide. The final English-language debate is scheduled for Thursday. sources

Study Warns: DNA Sequencing Could Attract Hackers

A study from the University of Portsmouth has raised urgent concerns about vulnerabilities in genomic data linked to next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS) technology, which is pivotal for personalized medicine and disease tracking. Researchers warn that the increasing accessibility of DNA datasets online could facilitate data breaches and privacy violations by cybercriminals, who may exploit these vulnerabilities for malicious purposes. Dr. Nasreen Anjum emphasized the need for a paradigm shift in securing genomic data, highlighting the potential for advanced threats like synthetic DNA malware and AI-driven genomic manipulation. The study, published in IEEE Access, calls for a collaborative effort among governments, regulatory bodies, and academic institutions to address the neglected field of cyber-biosecurity, urging the implementation of secure protocols and AI-powered detection systems to protect sensitive genetic information from future attacks. sources

Trump Optimistic About "Very Good Deal" With China Amid Tariffs

US President Donald Trump expressed confidence in securing a favorable trade deal with China, dismissing concerns over US allies strengthening ties with Beijing. He stated, "Nobody can compete with us," and emphasized that the responsibility lies with China to return to the negotiating table, following accusations of Beijing backing out of a significant Boeing agreement. Trump's remarks came after productive discussions with leaders from Mexico and Japan, reinforcing his belief that many nations, including China, are eager to engage in talks. However, China's foreign ministry responded by urging the US to cease its "threatening and blackmailing" tactics, asserting that genuine dialogue must be based on equality and respect. With Trump imposing steep tariffs on Chinese imports, reaching up to 145%, and China retaliating with its own levies, tensions between the two economic powers continue to escalate, with both sides acknowledging the detrimental impact of a trade war. sources

Bangladesh Demands Public Apology from Pakistan for 1971 Atrocities

Bangladesh has called for a public apology from Pakistan regarding the "historically unresolved issues" stemming from the 1971 atrocities during their first foreign secretary-level talks in 15 years. Foreign Secretary Jashim Uddin emphasized the need for a resolution to issues including the repatriation of stranded Pakistanis, equitable distribution of undivided assets, and the transfer of foreign aid funds for cyclone victims. Dhaka also requested Pakistan to pay USD 4.3 billion related to assets at the time of Bangladesh's independence, along with an unpaid USD 200 million for cyclone relief funds. Uddin stated that these matters are crucial for establishing a solid foundation for future relations. The dialogue precedes the visit of Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar to Bangladesh later this month, amid a thaw in relations following the ousting of Sheikh Hasina last August. sources
