Published: May 23 2025, 8 pmeznews.inRyanair has instructed its Spanish flight attendants to repay salary increases of up to Rs 2.8 lakh ($3,400) following a court ruling that deemed the pay hike agreement with the CCOO union invalid. The ruling came after the rival USO union contested the agreement, leading Ryanair to notify USO-represented cabin crew that the funds would be deducted from their payslips until repaid. The airline has further threatened to revert salaries to pre-hike levels unless attendants switch to the CCOO union. USO criticized the original agreement, claiming the negotiators lacked authority, and accused Ryanair of pressuring workers to join CCOO to avoid penalties. A Ryanair spokesperson stated the company is complying with the court ruling while an appeal is pending. Ryanair, known for its low-cost model, has faced multiple strikes from workers across Europe over pay and working conditions in recent years. 
Published: May 23 2025, 8 pmeznews.inNegotiators from Iran and the United States resumed discussions in Rome on Friday, aiming to address the contentious issue of Iran's nuclear ambitions. Despite warnings from Tehran that reaching a new agreement may be challenging due to conflicting demands, both sides recognize the stakes involved. President Trump seeks to limit Iran's nuclear capabilities, which could threaten regional stability and Israel, while Iran aims to alleviate crippling sanctions on its economy. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff are leading the talks, mediated by Oman. Tensions remain high, with Iran intensifying uranium enrichment beyond previous limits, while the U.S. insists on a deal that permits civil nuclear energy without enrichment. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei dismissed U.S. demands as excessive, complicating negotiations further. The outcome of these talks is critical, as failure could escalate tensions, particularly with Israel's concerns over Iran's nuclear potential. 
Published: May 23 2025, 6 pmeznews.inHarvard University has filed a lawsuit against the US government following the revocation of its eligibility to enroll international students, a decision described as "unlawful and unwarranted" by Harvard President Dr Alan M Garber. In a statement, Garber emphasized that the move jeopardizes the futures of thousands of students and serves as a warning to others pursuing education in the US. The revocation, enacted under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program, affects over 7,000 visa holders and follows President Donald Trump's threats to impose such actions unless Harvard complied with government demands for oversight of its governance and curriculum. Harvard, which has enrolled international students for over 70 years, argues that the government's actions violate the First Amendment and due process rights. The university is seeking a temporary restraining order while it pursues legal remedies, asserting that the decision is retaliatory in nature. 
Published: May 23 2025, 6 pmeznews.inIndia has emerged as the third-highest country in terms of financial losses from Schengen visa rejections, with ₹136 crore lost in 2024 due to 1.65 lakh denied applications, according to data from the European Commission. The rejection rate stands at 15%, primarily driven by France, which accounted for the most rejections at 31,314. Overall, over 11.08 lakh applications were lodged from India, with only 5.91 lakh approved. The total number of rejected applications across all countries exceeded 17 lakhs, generating €145 million (₹1,410 crore) in fees, of which Indian applicants contributed €14 million (₹136.6 crore). Additionally, the visa application fee has risen from €80 to €90 for applicants aged 12 and above, exacerbating concerns among travel agencies and potential travellers. The high rejection rates pose significant implications for tourism, business, and academic exchanges between India and European nations, underscoring the need for improved guidelines and application processes. 
Published: May 23 2025, 7 pmeznews.inWendy Rush, wife of OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, was aboard the support ship Polar Prince when the Titan submersible imploded during its 2023 dive to the Titanic wreck. She heard a loud pop through the communication system, unaware that it marked the moment of the vessel's catastrophic failure, killing all five aboard, including her husband and prominent figures such as British explorer Hamish Harding. Newly released US Coast Guard footage reveals that the Titan, nearly 11,000 feet underwater, went silent approximately 90 minutes into its descent. Despite previous signs of structural failure, OceanGate continued operations, with the ill-fated dive being the sub's 88th. A chilling audio clip captures the moment of implosion, described as a violent blast followed by silence. The Coast Guard has since recovered debris from the ocean floor and is expected to release a final report on the incident later this year. 
Published: May 23 2025, 4 pmeznews.inUS President Donald Trump has warned that Apple will face a 25% tariff on iPhones sold in the United States unless they are manufactured domestically. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated he has communicated his expectations directly to Apple CEO Tim Cook, insisting that iPhones should be produced in the US rather than in countries like India. Following Trump's announcement, Apple shares fell 2.5% in premarket trading, contributing to a decline in US stock index futures. It remains uncertain whether Trump possesses the authority to impose tariffs on specific companies. Meanwhile, Apple is exploring India as a potential manufacturing hub, especially as tariffs on Chinese products have raised concerns about supply chains and increased iPhone prices. The company indicated that a significant portion of its smartphones sold in the US would be sourced from India in the upcoming June quarter.

In an email to staff, the lab emphasized the need for in-person collaboration to foster innovation and problem-solving during this challenging financial climate. Employees must notify management by July 20 of their intent to return or risk losing their positions, following a tumultuous year that included significant layoffs due to funding shortfalls.

The Department of Homeland Security has also halted foreign student enrollment at Harvard due to claims of fostering pro-terrorist conduct and creating an unsafe campus environment. Harvard has called the government's actions "unlawful," asserting its commitment to international scholarship, but has not publicly addressed the specific allegations regarding its foreign partnerships. The university has until June 2, 2025, to submit relevant documents and communications as part of the ongoing investigation.
