US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr testifying before the Senate in May
RFK Jr sacks entire US vaccine committee
WASHINGTON — US Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, a vaccine sceptic, has removed all 17 members of a committee that issues official government recommendations on immunizations.Announcing the move in an editorial in the Wall Street Journal, Kennedy said that conflicts of interest on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (Acip) were responsible for undermining trust in vaccinations.Kennedy said he wanted to "ensure the American people receive the safest vaccines possible."Doctors and health experts have criticised Kennedy's longstanding questioning of the safety and efficacy of a number of vaccines, although in his Senate confirmation hearing he said he is "not going to take them away."On Monday he said he was "retiring" all of the Acip...

Trump says relationship with Musk is over
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has said his relationship with Elon Musk is over."I would assume so, yeah," Trump told NBC News on Saturday, when asked if he thought the pair's close relationship had ended. He replied "No" when asked if he wished to mend the damaged ties.The comments were Trump's latest since the epic fallout between him and Musk unraveled on social media.It came after the tech billionaire — who donated millions to Trump's election campaign and became a White House aide — publicly criticized the president's tax and spending bill, a key domestic policy.A majority of Republicans have fallen in line behind the president. Vice-President JD Vance said that Musk had "gone so nuclear" and may never be welcomed back into...

US brings back El Salvador deportee to face charges
WASHINGTON — Kilmar Ábrego García, a 29-year-old from El Salvador mistakenly deported in March, has been returned to the US to face prosecution on two federal criminal charges.He has been accused of participating in a trafficking conspiracy over several years to move undocumented migrants from Texas to other parts of the country.El Salvador agreed to release Ábrego García after the US presented it with an arrest warrant, Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Friday. His lawyer called the charges "preposterous".The White House had been resisting a US Supreme Court order from April to "facilitate" his return after he was sent to a jail in El Salvador alongside more than 250 other deportees.In a two-count grand jury indictment, filed in a Tennessee court last month and...

Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts
Judge halts Trump’s proclamation to suspend new international student visas at Harvard
CAMBRIDGE — A federal judge has halted President Donald Trump’s latest attempt to block international students from coming to Harvard University.The temporary restraining order issued late Thursday by US District Judge Allison Burroughs comes hours after the university urged the judge to step in on an emergency basis to block a proclamation Trump signed a day earlier that suspends international visas for new students at the nation’s oldest and wealthiest university. Foreign students make up roughly a quarter of the school’s student body.The brief order from Burroughs said if she didn’t intervene now, the school would “sustain immediate and irreparable injury before there is an opportunity to hear from all parties” over the challenge to Trump’s edict. The judge said her...

Pentagon diverting key anti-drone technology from Ukraine to US forces in the Middle East
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon notified Congress last week that it will be diverting critical anti-drone technology that had been allocated for Ukraine to US Air Force units in the Middle East, according to correspondence obtained by CNN and people familiar with the matter.The move reflects the US’ shifting defense priorities under President Donald Trump – toward the Middle East and the Pacific – and the fact that US stockpiles of some defense components are becoming increasingly stretched.The technology, proximity fuzes for the rockets Ukraine uses to shoot down Russian drones, was redirected from the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) to Air Force Central Command on orders from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, according to the correspondence dated May 29 and sent to the...

Boeing-DOJ deal 'repugnant', says lawyer for victims' families
NEW YORK — A lawyer for 16 families of victims of a fatal Boeing 737 Max crash, has told the BBC that a deal between the firm and the US Justice Department (DOJ) is "morally repugnant".Boeing said it agreed to pay $1.1bn (£811.5m) to avoid prosecution over two crashes that killed 346 people, in a filing on Wednesday.Sanjiv Singh, counsel for family members of some of the victims of a 2018 crash in Indonesia, says the deal allows the firm to "sidestep true criminal accountability".Boeing has previously said: "We are deeply sorry for their losses, and remain committed to honoring their loved ones' memories by pressing forward with the broad and deep changes to our company".The deal includes the aviation giant paying $444.5m to families of crash victims....
