A Virginia man, Naresh Bhatt, 33, has been indicted on murder charges in connection with the disappearance of his wife, Mamta Kafle Bhatt, 28, originally from Nepal. Mamta was last seen on July 29, and her body has not been located. Prosecutors allege that Bhatt conducted online searches regarding remarriage after a spouse's death and made suspicious purchases, including knives and cleaning supplies, shortly after her disappearance. Court records indicate he faces charges of murder and defiling a body, with DNA evidence linking him to the crime despite Mamta's body remaining undiscovered. Bhatt reportedly discarded a bloodstained bath mat and bags, and his inconsistent statements raised further suspicion. He was arrested on August 22 and has been held without bail since September. The investigation continues as authorities search for Mamta, a mother of one, presumed dead. 
Published: Dec 04 2024, 12 pmeznews.inArgentina has announced its withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO), a decision made by President Javier Milei's office, which cited "deep differences regarding health management" during the Covid-19 pandemic. Spokesman Manuel Adorni emphasized that the move aims to prevent international interference in Argentina's sovereignty and to provide greater flexibility in local policy implementation. This decision mirrors the recent exit of the United States from the WHO, initiated by former President Donald Trump, who criticized the agency's pandemic response. Since taking office in December 2023, Milei has implemented austerity measures, resulting in increased poverty but also achieving Argentina's largest trade surplus in 2024. A self-declared "anarcho-capitalist," Milei has been an outspoken supporter of Trump, being the first foreign leader to visit him after the 2024 election victory. The US withdrawal from the WHO raises concerns about potential funding shortages for global health initiatives.

Published: Feb 05 2025, 8 pmeznews.inDonald Trump has announced his intention to "take over" Gaza, a proposal met with significant skepticism and opposition from various quarters. Analysts highlight five major obstacles to the plan: First, the deep-rooted connection Palestinians have to their land, as evidenced by the return of displaced individuals following a ceasefire. Second, Arab nations, including Egypt and Jordan, have outright rejected the idea, emphasizing the inalienable rights of Palestinians. Third, the prospect of deploying US troops in Gaza contradicts Trump's earlier commitment to avoid foreign military entanglements and would likely face fierce resistance from groups like Hamas. Fourth, international law prohibits such actions without the consent of the sovereign authority, which the Palestinian Authority cannot provide. Lastly, while some Israeli far-right factions support Trump's rhetoric, more moderate politicians express doubts about the plan's feasibility, suggesting it may be counterproductive.

Published: Feb 05 2025, 7 pmeznews.inDEEP, a Gloucestershire-based company, has unveiled plans for an underwater base designed to support human life and work at depths of up to 200 meters. Accommodating six or more occupants, this ambitious project aims to establish a continuous human presence beneath the ocean, drawing parallels to the International Space Station's transformative role in space exploration. The initiative seeks to enhance our understanding of the oceans, which cover two-thirds of the Earth and provide vital oxygen. DEEP's Sentinel platform encompasses not only the habitat but also next-generation submersibles and safety systems developed through the DEEP Institute. Following two years of research into advanced manufacturing processes, DEEP has secured design approval from DNV, a leading certification authority. With manufacturing already underway, DEEP's leaders emphasize that the Sentinel system is a practical step towards deeper ocean exploration, rather than a mere concept.
Published: Feb 05 2025, 7 pmeznews.inThe head of the UN refugee agency expressed concern over President Donald Trump's unexpected proposal for the United States to assume control of the Gaza Strip and resettle its inhabitants. Filippo Grandi, the UN's high commissioner for refugees, described the idea as "surprising" and noted the lack of clarity surrounding the proposal, which complicates the discussion of such a sensitive issue. Trump's announcement, made during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, suggested plans to transform the war-torn region by removing unexploded ordnance and rebuilding its economy. Grandi also highlighted the urgency of the situation as the UNHCR seeks to renegotiate US support following a significant freeze on American aid, which previously accounted for up to 40% of the agency's funding. "All of this is very fluid at the moment," Grandi stated, underscoring the challenges faced by the organization.
Published: Feb 05 2025, 7 pmeznews.inYouTuber and IT trainer David Bombal has raised serious concerns about the data privacy practices of Chinese AI company DeepSeek following an extensive test.

The findings have sparked widespread concern among users, with comments highlighting potential security risks and the introduction of a bill in the US that could impose severe penalties for using DeepSeek. Critics argue that the test raises significant issues, while some defend the company's practices as expected for a Chinese-developed product.
