Mark Carney campaigned on addressing 'unsustainable' immigration
Canada proposes sweeping immigration and security bill
TORONTO — The Canadian government has proposed a bill to restrict some asylum claims and give authorities more power to halt the processing of immigration applications.Canada's immigration minister Lena Diab said the Strong Borders Act is meant to curb organised crime and the flow of illegal drugs and weapons, while boosting the "integrity" of the country's immigration system.It includes provisions that would give police more power to monitor Canada's shared border with the US.It could also bar those who have been in Canada for more than year from filing a claim for asylum. But critics said the bill, which seeks to expand authorities' ability to open and inspect mail, would breach civil liberties.The proposed legislation comes amid increasing pressure on Canada,...

Israel says roads to Gaza aid centers are 'combat zones' as sites close for day
GAZA — Aid distribution centers in Gaza will be closed for a day on Wednesday, as the Israeli military warned roads leading to the sites will be considered "combat zones".The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a controversial US and Israel-backed aid network which began operating last week, said it was closing its sites for "update, organization and efficiency improvements works".In a separate update, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said people would be "prohibited" from entering the distribution centers or traveling on roads leading to them.Overnight on Tuesday, at least 27 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire close to a distribution center, according to the Hamas-run Civil Defense Agency.It was the third deadly incident in as many days to occur on a...

US steel and aluminum tariffs doubled to 50%
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has signed an order doubling tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from 25% to 50%.The move hikes import taxes on the metals - key inputs in everything from cars to canned food - for the second time since March.Trump has said the measures, which come into effect on Wednesday, are intended to secure the future of the American steel industry.However, critics say the protections could wreak havoc on steel producers outside the US, spark retaliation from trade partners, and come at a punishing cost for American users of the metals.Hours before he hiked the duties, many firms directly affected could scarcely believe the plan was moving forward, hoping it would turn out to be temporary or some kind of negotiating ploy.Even as Trump moved forward with the...

Chinese nationals accused of smuggling 'dangerous biological pathogen' into US
WASHINGTON — Two Chinese nationals have been accused of smuggling a fungus into the US that officials describe as a "dangerous biological pathogen".Yunqing Jian, 33, and Zunyong Liu, 34, have been charged with conspiracy, smuggling goods, false statements, and visa fraud, the US Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Michigan announced on Tuesday.The complaint alleges Mr Liu tried to smuggle the fungus through Detroit airport so he could study it at a University of Michigan laboratory where his girlfriend, Ms Jian, worked.The fungus called Fusarium graminearum can cause a disease in wheat, barley, maize and rice that can wipe out crops and lead to vomiting and liver damage if it gets into food.The fungus is described in scientific literature as a "potential...

Aid distribution in Gaza has turned 'a death trap'
JERUSALEM — A new program for getting desperately needed food into the hands of starving Palestinians in Gaza is only days old, but it’s already mired in chaos and tragedy.Dozens of Palestinians have been killed over the past few days while on their way to trying to obtain aid from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). This group, backed by Israel and the US, is intended to replace the UN-led system of distributing aid in Gaza, to address a hunger crisis sparked by a monthslong Israeli blockade.Over the past week, tens of thousands of Palestinians have converged on distribution points run by GHF, hoping to grab one of the limited number of packages before they run out.For the past three days, Palestinian authorities and witnesses have accused Israeli forces of shooting dozens of...

Denmark quits the Frugal Four to focus on rearming Europe, says PM Frederiksen
COPENHAGEN — Denmark has quit the so-called Frugal Four to embrace instead a "more flexible" attitude towards the European Union's seven-year budget, the country's prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, has said, insisting the imperative goal of rearming the bloc against Russia should take precedence over "all other priorities"."As Danes, we will always be tough in the negotiations on the budget. We don't want money to be spent on (anything) that is not necessary for Europe. So we will be tough, but being a part of the Frugal Four is no longer the right place for us," Frederiksen said on Tuesday, speaking next to Roberta Metsola, the president of the European Parliament."For me, the most important thing is to rearm Europe. That's my starting...

Spain cancels contract for anti-tank missiles built by Israeli company
MADRID — Spain has canceled a deal to purchase anti-tank missile systems that were to be manufactured in Madrid by a subsidiary of an Israeli company in a bid to move away from Israeli military technology, the Defense Ministry said on Tuesday.The decision will affect the license for 168 SPIKE LR2 anti-tank missile systems with an estimated value of €285 million.The systems would have been developed in Spain by Pap Tecnos, a Madrid-based subsidiary of Israel’s Rafael Advanced Defence Systems, local media said."The goal is clear...a total disconnection from Israeli technology," government spokesperson Pilar Alegría told reporters, adding the government is studying "the effects of the cancellation."Israel's Defense Ministry referred questions on the decision...

Liberal Lee Jae-myung wins South Korea's presidential election ending months of political turmoil
SEOUL — South Korea’s liberal opposition candidate Lee Jae-myung was elected president early on Wednesday in a victory that would cap months of political turmoil triggered by the stunning but brief imposition of martial law by now-ousted conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol.With over 99% of votes counted, Jae-myung obtained 49.3% of the votes cast in Tuesday's early election, while main conservative contender Kim Moon Soo trailed with 41.3%.Nearly 80% of the country’s 44.4 million eligible voters cast ballots, according to an interim tally. That’s one of the highest turnouts for a presidential election in South Korea, reflecting public eagerness to move past the political turmoil.Preelection surveys have long suggested Lee appeared headed for an easy win, riding on deep public...

KHARTOUM — At least five people have been killed and several others wounded in an attack on an aid convoy in Sudan’s Darfur region on Tuesday, the United Nations has said, with the warring parties in the northeast African nation trading blame for the attack.The attack on the 15-truck convoy carrying desperately needed food and nutrition supplies happened on Monday night near the Rapid Support Forces (RSF)-controlled town of Koma in North Dafur province.It was trying to reach besieged el-Fasher city, according to a joint statement from the World Food Programme and UNICEF.
