Published: May 03 2025, 4 pmeznews.inJaguar Land Rover (JLR) has resumed shipments of its vehicles to the United States after a month-long pause due to President Donald Trump's tariffs on imported cars. The first shipments departed Britain on Wednesday, marking a significant move for the company, which is owned by India's Tata Motors. In April, JLR temporarily halted exports to assess the impact of the 25% tariff, enacted on April 3, and to explore ways to mitigate costs. Meanwhile, Trump announced plans to ease the burden of these tariffs through an executive order that would provide credits and relief from other levies. In a related development, Aston Martin's CEO Adrian Hallmark revealed that the company would share the tariff costs with customers and reduce its US inventory. The UK automotive industry, which supports 200,000 jobs, relies heavily on the US market, which accounts for nearly 20% of British car exports.
Published: May 03 2025, 4 pmeznews.inPrime Minister Anthony Albanese's left-leaning Labor Party is projected to secure victory in Australia's general election, according to media reports.

Published: May 03 2025, 4 pmeznews.inUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has dismissed a three-day truce proposed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, describing it as a "theatrical performance" and asserting that Ukraine is prepared for a full ceasefire. Russia has rejected an unconditional 30-day ceasefire advocated by Kyiv and Washington, which are seeking to end the ongoing conflict. Zelensky emphasized that a brief truce would not facilitate meaningful negotiations, particularly with the upcoming May 9 commemorations in Moscow, where Putin will address foreign leaders. He warned those visiting Russia that Ukraine would not assume responsibility for any incidents that may occur. As Russia intensifies its military efforts and prepares grand celebrations, the U.S. has indicated it may halt diplomatic ceasefire initiatives if no progress is made. Meanwhile, Zelensky highlighted a renegotiated mineral deal with the U.S. as beneficial for Ukraine, following a recent meeting with President Trump.
Published: May 03 2025, 4 pmeznews.inIn Rome, as jasmine blooms and tourists flock, cardinals are engaged in private discussions ahead of the May 7 conclave to elect a successor to Pope Francis. Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the current archbishop of Westminster, reflects on the informal meetings taking place among the cardinal-electors, where they are assessing potential candidates and discussing the future direction of the Catholic Church. He notes the importance of listening to one another, as they consider the legacy of Francis’ 12-year papacy and the need for continuity in his reform initiatives. Nichols emphasizes that while divisions exist, there is a collective sense among cardinals that the next pope should embody both faith and openness, reinforcing Francis' focus on the marginalized and environmental issues. He remains open-minded about potential candidates, illustrating a departure from the more politically charged atmosphere of previous conclaves, such as the one that elected Francis in 2013.
Published: May 03 2025, 3 pmeznews.inAt the Line of Control between India and Pakistan, terror launchpads in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir facilitate the infiltration of militants into Jammu and Kashmir, despite international warnings to Islamabad about its role in harboring terrorism. Following the recent massacre of 26 civilians in Pahalgam, evidence of Pakistan's involvement has resurfaced, prompting Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to call for a "credible, neutral probe." However, this reflects a long-standing pattern of Pakistani denial regarding its support for terrorism, which has been a tool of its foreign policy since 1947. Historical incidents, including the Mumbai attacks and the Pulwama bombing, underscore Pakistan's use of proxy terror groups while maintaining plausible deniability. Despite international pressure and evidence, Pakistan continues to obstruct justice and evade accountability for its actions, prompting calls for the global community to hold it responsible for its ongoing role in terrorism.
Published: May 03 2025, 3 pmeznews.inDays after expressing a desire to become Pope, former US President Donald Trump stirred controversy by posting an AI-generated image of himself in papal attire on his Truth Social page, which was also shared by the White House on X. The image, depicting Trump seated in a coronation chair, has gone viral, eliciting mixed reactions. While some users found it humorous, many criticized the post as disrespectful, especially coming shortly after the death of Pope Francis on April 21. Critics accused Trump of mocking the Pope's passing, with one user questioning how such actions align with being a "man of faith." In contrast, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham expressed excitement over Trump's candidacy for the papacy, urging the papal conclave to consider him. The new pope is expected to be elected in a conclave scheduled for next week, following Francis' funeral.

Police Chief Javier Lozano emphasized the children's dire situation, noting they were "completely cut off from reality."

In the wake of the attack, India has taken severe measures, including ending the Indus Waters Treaty, banning imports from Pakistan, and cancelling visas for Pakistani nationals. In retaliation, Pakistan has threatened to suspend bilateral agreements and downgraded diplomatic ties. The situation remains fraught as both nations navigate this latest round of hostilities.
