Russia has officially invited Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to participate in the May 9 celebrations commemorating the 80th anniversary of victory over Germany in World War II, according to Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko. The invitation has been dispatched, and arrangements for Modi's attendance are currently in progress. Rudenko confirmed that the visit is anticipated for this year, as Russia extends invites to leaders from several allied nations for the Victory Day parade. The historical significance of May 9 dates back to 1945 when the Soviet Army's offensive culminated in Germany's unconditional surrender. Modi last visited Russia in July 2024, marking his first trip in nearly five years, and has extended an invitation to President Vladimir Putin to visit India, which Putin has accepted, although specific dates remain undisclosed. The two leaders maintain regular communication, including periodic phone calls and meetings at international forums. 
Published: Apr 09 2025, 2 pmeznews.inThe U.S. Supreme Court announced it will hear arguments next month regarding Donald Trump's executive order aimed at restricting automatic birthright citizenship, a significant element of his immigration policy. The court's unsigned order did not address Trump's request to limit three nationwide injunctions from federal judges in Washington state, Massachusetts, and Maryland that currently block the order while litigation proceeds. Trump's directive, issued on his first day back in office, seeks to deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. unless at least one parent is a citizen or lawful resident. Critics, including 22 Democratic state attorneys general, argue this conflicts with the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the U.S. The administration contends that the amendment does not apply to certain immigrant categories. The case is set for arguments on May 15, with significant implications for immigration policy and judicial authority.

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.

Published: Apr 17 2025, 11 pmeznews.inUkrainian 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.

Published: Apr 18 2025, 12 ameznews.inA 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.
Published: Apr 18 2025, 12 ameznews.inAs 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.

The final English-language debate is scheduled for Thursday.
Published: Apr 18 2025, 12 ameznews.inA 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.

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.
