A 36-year-old man, Paul Hyon Kim, appeared in a US court on Thursday facing federal arson charges for allegedly setting fire to five Teslas and firing bullets at them with a semi-automatic rifle at a Tesla facility in Las Vegas. The incident, which occurred on March 18, involved the use of Molotov cocktails and a .30 caliber AR-style firearm, leading to significant damage and the graffiti message "Resist" being spray-painted on the building. Kim was arrested a week later and charged with unlawful possession of an unregistered firearm and arson, which could result in up to 20 years in prison. The Department of Justice emphasized its commitment to prosecuting individuals involved in domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, amid rising tensions linked to government funding cuts overseen by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The company has faced a series of vandalism incidents recently, coinciding with a decline in its stock price. 
Published: Mar 28 2025, 12 pmeznews.inNEW DELHI: Following US President Donald Trump's threats of "unprecedented bombing" against Iran for its nuclear negotiations, Tehran has reportedly prepared missiles capable of striking US-linked positions globally. The state-owned Tehran Times indicated that these missiles are stored in underground facilities designed to endure airstrikes. Trump warned that failure to reach a deal would lead to military action, while also hinting at the reintroduction of secondary tariffs on Iran and its trade partners, contingent on Tehran's response. Trump previously withdrew the US from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which had imposed strict limits on Iran's nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian dismissed direct negotiations with the US but acknowledged the possibility of indirect talks through Oman, emphasizing the need for trust and commitment from the US to resolve ongoing tensions.
Published: Mar 31 2025, 10 ameznews.inA devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar on Friday, resulting in approximately 1,700 fatalities and unleashing energy equivalent to over 300 atomic bombs, as noted by American geologist Jess Phoenix. Aftershocks are expected to persist for months due to the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. Rescue operations in Mandalay are hampered by extreme heat, with temperatures soaring to 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit), complicating efforts to find survivors amid the rubble. Tragically, a rescue attempt for a pregnant woman ended in heartbreak when she was pronounced dead after losing too much blood during an amputation. As the nation grapples with the aftermath, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies has launched a $100 million emergency appeal to assist victims, noting that the ongoing civil war has exacerbated the crisis. Sporadic fighting continues, further complicating the humanitarian response in a country already facing immense challenges.
Published: Mar 31 2025, 10 ameznews.inJames Vyse, a former bartender from Wales, has reportedly developed the world's first commercially viable self-cooling can, a breakthrough that could revolutionize the beverage industry. The "Cool Can" employs a simple mechanism where a small reservoir of water and proprietary salt crystals mix upon pressing a button, triggering a chemical reaction that chills the drink. Although it resembles a standard 500ml can, it only holds 350ml of liquid due to its insulated design. Major beverage brands like Coca-Cola, Red Bull, and AB InBev have expressed interest in the product, which took Vyse over two years and 500 prototypes to perfect. He believes the self-cooling can could significantly reduce reliance on refrigeration, which accounts for 17% of global electricity use, potentially lowering carbon emissions and enhancing sustainability, especially in areas lacking cooling infrastructure. Trials are set for London this summer, with mass production anticipated within two years.

Trump expressed optimism about potential buyers and indicated a willingness to reduce tariffs on China to facilitate the acquisition, underscoring the app's significance to his administration. The U.S. government has raised national security concerns regarding TikTok's Chinese ownership, which could allow Beijing to influence American users and gather data. While the White House has taken an active role in negotiations, Trump has previously warned that failure to secure a deal could result in a ban.

Published: Mar 31 2025, 9 ameznews.inA New York City doctor has been terminated from her position at Mount Sinai Hospital following controversial social media posts that included pro-Hamas and Hezbollah sentiments and denied atrocities committed by these militant groups. Lila Abassi, 46, an assistant professor of medicine, faced backlash for describing Hamas as "noble resistance" and labeling the Israeli army a "plague," while dismissing reports of sexual violence during the October 7 attacks. Her comments, made under the pseudonym "Kluver Bucy," included a demand for evidence of such violence and claims that Israel caused more casualties than Hamas. Abassi’s dismissal was influenced by pressure from local officials, including City Councilwoman Inna Vernikov, who emphasized the need for unbiased medical care in a diverse city. Fellow medical professionals described her as one of the most outspoken antisemitic figures in the field, raising concerns about patient trust and safety.
