Donald Trump has escalated his attacks on traditional media since returning to the White House, targeting journalists who criticize his administration and pursuing legal action against several outlets. Notably, in December, ABC News settled a defamation lawsuit by agreeing to pay $15 million to Trump, who claimed that anchor George Stephanopoulos had misrepresented a civil case involving him. Trump also filed a lawsuit against CBS, alleging that "60 Minutes" edited an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris to interfere with the election. Meanwhile, the Associated Press faced a ban from the Oval Office after a dispute over Trump's renaming of the Gulf of Mexico, prompting the agency to sue for First Amendment violations. Additionally, Trump sued Iowa's Des Moines Register over a poll predicting a Democratic win in the state, claiming it constituted election interference. These legal battles reflect Trump's ongoing confrontation with the media landscape. 
Published: Mar 27 2025, 10 ameznews.inA woman has filed a lawsuit against American Airlines, claiming a cabin crew member ignored her complaints after a male passenger allegedly masturbated next to her for nearly an hour during a flight from New York to Milan on May 27. Neel Elsherif, CEO of a luxury vegan leather brand, alleges that the man, identified only as "John Doe," was intoxicated and began the inappropriate behavior as the cabin lights dimmed. Despite her pleas for help, Ms Elsherif claims the flight attendant dismissed her concerns, suggesting she move to coach instead, and allegedly made a comment about men behaving that way. The lawsuit also alleges racial bias, asserting that her report was not treated seriously due to her Arab descent. Her attorneys are seeking damages for negligence and emotional distress, while American Airlines stated they are reviewing the allegations.
Published: Mar 30 2025, 4 pmeznews.inIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserted on Sunday that Israel's intensified military actions against Hamas in Gaza are yielding results, insisting the group must disarm for negotiations to progress. Speaking during a cabinet meeting, he noted signs of weakening demands from Hamas amid ongoing mediation efforts led by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States to secure a ceasefire and the release of Israeli hostages. A senior Hamas official revealed the group's acceptance of a new ceasefire proposal, which Israel has acknowledged while submitting a counterproposal, though specifics remain undisclosed. Netanyahu emphasized Israel's willingness to negotiate but reiterated that Hamas must surrender its weapons, allowing its leaders to leave Gaza. Meanwhile, violence escalated, with an Israeli airstrike in Khan Yunis reportedly killing at least eight people, including five children, following the collapse of a fragile truce earlier this month.

Published: Mar 30 2025, 4 pmeznews.inIn New Delhi, Indian and US officials engaged in trade discussions this week amid President Donald Trump's threats of reciprocal tariffs set to take effect on April 2. The talks, which took place from March 26-29, focused on tariff reductions and easing non-tariff barriers, with both sides aiming to sign an initial bilateral trade agreement by autumn. The goal is to more than double bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030, up from over $190 billion currently. India's commerce ministry noted that expert-level sectoral discussions would commence virtually soon, paving the way for in-person negotiations. As the US grapples with a $45.6 billion trade deficit with India, Trump has called India a "tariff king," yet he recently praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a "great friend," suggesting a potential softening stance on trade tensions.
Published: Mar 30 2025, 5 pmeznews.inA study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has found that ChatGPT can assist in the sensory evaluation of food, particularly brownies, potentially expediting product development and recipe enhancement. Researchers examined 15 brownie recipes, including unconventional ingredients like mealworm powder and fish oil, and asked ChatGPT to describe their sensory attributes, such as taste and texture. The AI's responses were largely positive, even for the unusual recipes, reflecting a psychological phenomenon known as "hedonic asymmetry," where both humans and AI tend to view beneficial items favorably. Study author Damir Torrico noted that using AI could streamline the evaluation process, reducing reliance on human testers, which can be time-consuming and complicated. Future research aims to refine ChatGPT's responses to better mimic human descriptive panels, suggesting a promising role for AI in the food industry’s sensory evaluations. The findings were published in the journal _Foods_.
Published: Mar 30 2025, 3 pmeznews.inA high-speed police chase in California on Friday culminated in chaos as a wanted man driving a stolen truck collided with 13 vehicles while attempting to evade capture. The pursuit began around 2:41 PM in downtown Los Angeles, with the suspect reaching speeds exceeding 160 km/h as he recklessly navigated through traffic, sideswiping cars and nearly hitting a bus. The chase ended when he ran a red light, crashing into a paint store's metal railing in Long Beach. After exiting the wrecked vehicle, he attempted to flee on foot but was subdued by nearly a dozen officers. The truck, owned by delivery driver Ricardo Colindes, was filled with his work equipment, which he expressed frustration over losing. Police arrested the suspect at 3:45 PM, with at least one officer injured during the apprehension. Charges are still pending as authorities investigate potential civilian injuries.
Published: Mar 30 2025, 3 pmeznews.inSyria's interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa announced a new transitional government on Saturday, replacing the caretaker authorities established after the ousting of Bashar al-Assad. The government, which features close allies of Sharaa, includes one woman, Hind Kabawat, a veteran opposition figure and member of Syria's Christian minority, appointed as social affairs and labour minister. Key positions were retained by Foreign Minister Assaad al-Shaibani and Defence Minister Murhaf Abu Qasra, while Anas Khattab became the interior minister. The new leadership aims to address international calls for an inclusive transition following recent sectarian violence. Sharaa, leader of the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, signed a constitutional declaration to guide the country through a five-year transitional period. However, concerns remain regarding the concentration of power and the protection of minority rights amid ongoing tensions following Assad's December 8 overthrow.
Published: Mar 30 2025, 3 pmeznews.inA 33-storey high-rise in Bangkok collapsed following a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake that struck central Myanmar, shaking the South Asian region on Friday. The unfinished building crumbled in seconds, prompting urgent rescue efforts, though police indicated that the chances of finding survivors were slim, with 17 confirmed dead, 32 injured, and 83 still unaccounted for, primarily construction workers. The building was part of a joint venture involving Thailand's State Audit Office and a Chinese firm, now under investigation for potential structural issues. Experts have raised concerns over the seismic safety of Bangkok's buildings, with only 10% deemed earthquake-proof. Meanwhile, the earthquake has devastated Myanmar, resulting in over 1,600 fatalities and thousands injured, leading the junta to request international aid for the first time amid a state of emergency across six regions.
Published: Mar 30 2025, 3 pmeznews.inIn a defiant televised address, Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan declared his commitment to continuing military operations against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) until they disarm. Following the army's reclaiming of key locations in Khartoum, including the presidential palace, Burhan ruled out any negotiations, asserting that victory would only be achieved by eradicating the RSF completely. His comments came as the RSF formed a military alliance with a faction of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North, further complicating the conflict. The RSF has vowed to resist any surrender, and recent reports indicate they have launched drone attacks in the Blue Nile state. The ongoing war has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and displaced over 12 million people, leaving Sudan effectively divided between army-controlled regions in the north and RSF-held areas in the west and south.

Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister has mandated an urgent investigation into the structural integrity of the site. Meanwhile, the earthquake has caused widespread devastation in Myanmar, with over 1,600 fatalities reported and hospitals overwhelmed, prompting a rare appeal for international aid from the country's military leader.
