  • ANALYSIS-Unlike Trump, Biden arms export policy strikes balance on human rights, economics

    Ninety minutes before President Joe Biden took office on January 20th, the United States signed a $23 billion dollar deal to sell F-35 jets, drones and advanced missiles to the United Arab Emirates. It was part of flurry of last minute deals President Donald Trump had told Congress were coming in his last two months in office, forcing the Biden administration to make quick decisions on whether or not to stick with the geopolitically sensitive weapons sales. To the surprise of some Democratic allies, Biden has so far kept the lion's share of Trump's more controversial agreements.

  • Syria says Israeli raids hit port region

    Syrian air defenses intercepted several Israeli missiles on Wednesday (May 5) during pre-dawn raids on the Mediterranean port city of Latakia, according to the Syrian army. A Syrian army statement said aerial strikes soon after 2 a.m. local time hit several areas along the southwest coast of the city. At least one civilian was killed and others were left injured in one of the strikes that the army said hit a civilian plastics factory. The Israeli military declined to comment. Although Israeli strikes in the last few years have targeted many parts of Syria, they have rarely hit Latakia which is close to Russia's main air base of Hmeimim.Syria's president Bashar al Assad is from a village 17 miles from south east of Latakia, where his father, the late president Hafez al-Assad, is buried. Israel has escalated a so-called "shadow war" in recent months against Iranian-linked targets inside Syria, according to Western intelligence sources. Syria has never acknowledged that Israel targets Iranian-linked assets with its attacks, and says Iran only has military advisers in the country.

  • COVID spreading in rural India; record daily rises in infections, deaths

    NEW DELHI (Reuters) -Hopes that India's deadly second wave of COVID-19 was about to peak were swept away on Thursday as it posted record daily infections and deaths and as the virus spread from cities to villages across the world's second-most populous nation. India reported a record 412,262 new COVID-19 cases in the past 24 hours and a record 3,980 deaths. COVID-19 infections have now surged past 21 million, with a total death toll of 230,168, health ministry data show.

  • Global pharma shares slide as Biden backs COVID-19 vaccine IP waiver

    Shares of drugmakers involved in the production of COVID-19 vaccines, including Pfizer and Moderna, fell on Thursday, a day after U.S. President Joe Biden's plan to back intellectual property waivers on vaccines. Biden threw his support behind a World Trade Organization waiver of intellectual property rights on vaccines to increase their availability to poorer nations including India, which is under the grip of a massive second wave of infection. "It could clearly reduce potential revenues some of these firms were expecting to generate from licensing their patents", said Neil Wilson, chief market analyst at Markets.com.

  • Psaki Dubiously Claims Migrant Influx ‘Began during the Trump Administration’

    At a briefing Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that the influx of migrants arriving at the southern border “began during and was exacerbated by the Trump administration.” Migrant encounters at the border have increased steadily since May 2020, but skyrocketed in February 2021 after the Biden administration assumed office, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data. “After four years of an immigration system rooted in destructive and chaotic policies, President Biden is taking the challenge head on and is building a fair, orderly, and human immigration system. That’s our objective,” Psaki remarked. The dramatic jump in border apprehensions coincided with the timing of an array of Biden administration executive actions, including a temporary deportation moratorium; a pause in border wall construction; a recall of the “Remain in Mexico” policy which required asylum-seekers to wait in their home countries until their claims were processed; and other reversals of Trump-era enforcement measures. Border patrol detained 172,331 migrants in March, breaking a 15-year record. Additionally, a record number of unaccompanied minors were taken into custody. HHS and the Biden administration scrambled to accommodate the number of undocumented children, with many detention facilities along the border being overwhelmed and strapped for resources. Migrants interviewed at the southern border have repeatedly cited Biden’s immigration policies as the impetus for their journey and survey data shows that migrants and the traffickers who prey on them scrutinize policy in determining when to make the journey. At a news conference on March 25, Biden characterized the increase in illegal crossings as a seasonal incidence not resulting from his policies. “The truth of the matter is: Nothing has changed,” Biden said. “It happens every single, solitary year.” Addressing reporters in the briefing room Tuesday, Psaki commented that the Department of Homeland Security will also begin “reuniting families that were separated by the policies of the previous administration.”

  • South Carolina House adds firing squad to execution methods

    The South Carolina House voted Wednesday to add a firing squad to the state's execution methods amid a lack of lethal-injection drugs — a measure meant to jump-start executions in a state that once had one of the busiest death chambers in the nation. The bill, approved by a 66-43 vote, will require condemned inmates to choose either being shot or electrocuted if lethal injection drugs aren't available. The state is one of only nine to still use the electric chair and will become only the fourth to allow a firing squad.
