<title>Syria’s first public trial of Assad&#45;era officials opens in Damascus</title>
<link>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/syrias-first-public-trial-of-assad-era-officials-opens-in-damascus</link>
<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/syrias-first-public-trial-of-assad-era-officials-opens-in-damascus</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ By Ghaith AlsayedThe first public trial in Syria of officials linked to the rule of former President Bashar Assad opened Sunday in Damascus.Atef Najib, a former Syrian army brigadier general who was head of the Political Security Branch in southern Syria&#039;s Daraa province under Assad and who is also a cousin of the former president, appeared in the courtroom to face charges related to “crimes against the Syrian people,” state-run news agency SANA reported.Najib was in that position in 2011, when teenagers who scrawled anti-government graffiti on a school wall in Daraa were arrested and tortured. The case became a catalyst for mass protests against the repressive policies of Assad&#039;s security forces.The protests were met by a brutal government crackdown and spiraled into a 14-year civil war that ended with Assad&#039;s ouster in December 2024 in a lightning rebel offensive. Assad fled to Russia, while most members of his inner circle also escaped Syria.Assad and his brother, Maher, former commander of the Syrian military&#039;s 4th Armored Division — which Syrian opposition activists have accused of killings, torture, extortion and drug trafficking, in addition to running its own detention centers — were charged in absentia, along with a number of other former high-ranking security officials.Najib was the only one of the defendants who was arrested and present in person in court Sunday for a preparatory session in the trial, which will continue next month.Crowds gathered outside the courthouse to celebrate. Baraa Abdulrahman, a spokesperson for the Syrian Ministry of Justice, said the trial “is of great importance for the independence of the judiciary, for transparency and accountability.&quot;One of the plaintiffs, Ramez Abu Nabbout, said his brother, a father of three, was killed when security forces opened fire on protesters at Daraa’s Omari Mosque.“He was a civilian and peaceful, but Atef Najib greeted peaceful (protesters) with gunfire,” he said. “Of course we hope Atef Najib will be quickly convicted and will get the most serious sentence, which is the death penalty.”The government of interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa has faced criticism over delays in launching a promised transitional justice process. Syria is struggling to heal following 14 years of civil war that left an estimated half a million people dead, millions more displaced, and the country battered and divided.Authorities now appear to be moving more aggressively to prosecute officials linked to Assad.Syrian authorities on Friday arrested Amjad Yousef, a former intelligence officer who appeared in a video leaked four years ago that purportedly showed him and his comrades executing dozens of blindfolded and shackled prisoners in the Damascus suburb of Tadamon during the country’s civil war. ]]></description>

<title>Trump unharmed after shooting incident at White House correspondents&amp;apos; dinner</title>

<description><![CDATA[ By Seung Min Kim, Aamer Madhani, Collin Binkley, Alanna Durkin Richer And David Bauder A man armed with guns and knives stormed the lobby outside a high-profile journalists&#039; dinner attended by President Donald Trump and multiple senior U.S. leaders on Saturday night, rushing toward the ballroom before Secret Service agents swarmed him and took him into custody. The president was uninjured and was hustled away.Guests went diving under tables as the scene unfolded and some reported hearing shots outside the vast subterranean ballroom in the Washington Hilton where the event was being held.One law enforcement official said a gunman had opened fire. A law enforcement officer was shot in the bullet-resistant vest but is expected to be OK, several sources told The Associated Press.The shooting suspect — described by Trump as a &quot;sick person&quot; — was identified as Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, two law enforcement officials told the AP.&quot;When you&#039;re impactful, they go after you. When you&#039;re not impactful, they leave you alone,&quot; Trump, safe and uninjured and still in his tuxedo, said at the White House two hours later. &quot;They seem to think he was a lone wolf.&quot;There was no immediate indication of any other involvement, and Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said she had &quot;no reason&quot; to believe anyone else was involved. Video posted by Trump showed the suspect running past security barricades as Secret Service agents ran toward him.&quot;There does not appear to be any sort of danger to the public at this time,&quot; Bowser said at a separate news conference.All officials protected by the Secret Service were evacuated. Those in attendance included Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio — and many other leaders of the Trump administration on a night when the nation is at war with Iran.It was the third time since 2024 that the president had been under threat by an attacker in his immediate vicinity — including the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, that injured him and killed a local firefighter.&quot;Today we need levels of security that probably nobody has ever seen before,&quot; the president said. But he also said, &quot;We&#039;re not going to let anybody take over our society.&quot;Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said charges related to Saturday night&#039;s attack will be filed shortly, and that the nature of the charges would be obvious considering what had happened at the dinner. Blanche stressed that &quot;the investigation is obviously ongoing and just started.&quot;FBI Director Kash Patel, flanking Trump, said the agency is examining a long gun and shell casings recovered from the scene, as well as interviewing witnesses from the dinner. He urged anyone with information to come forward.Dinner turns to disorderGuests were dining on a spring pea and burrata salad when noise began — noise Trump said he initially thought was a tray dropping but some journalists believed were five to eight gunshots.The Secret Service and other authorities swarmed the room as guests ducked under tables by the hundreds. Audible gasps echoed through the ballroom as guests realized something was happening; hundreds of journalists immediately got on phones to call in information.&quot;Out of the way, sir!&quot; someone yelled. Others yelled to duck. From one corner, a &quot;God Bless America&quot; chant began as the president was escorted offstage. He fell briefly — he apparently tripped — and was helped up by Secret Service agents. Outside the hotel, members of the National Guard and other authorities flooded the area as helicopters circled overhead.After an initial attempt to resume, the event was scrapped for the night and will be rescheduled.&quot;We will do this again,&quot; said Weijia Jiang, president of the White House Correspondents&#039; Association. Shortly afterward, staff began breaking down table settings and the presidential lectern.House Speaker Mike Johnson said he and his wife, Kelly, who both attended the event, were &quot;praying for our country tonight.&quot; The House Democratic leader, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, said &quot;The violence and chaos in America must end.&quot;The banquet hall — where hundreds of prominent journalists, celebrities and national leaders were awaiting Trump&#039;s remarks — was immediately evacuated. Members of the National Guard took up position inside the building as people were allowed to leave but not immediately reenter. Security outside was also extremely tight.Republican Rep. MIke Lawler of New York, a guest at the dinner, said he heard a pop and &quot;we didn&#039;t know what the hell it was. And then you heard all sorts of things clatter.&quot; Lawler said he gets &quot;death threats often&quot; and said &quot;I think we live in a climate where everybody recognizes its a problem, but I don&#039;t think people fully appreciate how much of a problem it really is.&quot;The event had initially appeared set to resume after the disorder. Servers refolded napkins and refilled water glasses in preparation for Trump&#039;s return. Another worker prepa ]]></description>

<title>The Latest: Iran fires on ships in Strait of Hormuz as Tehran imposes restrictions again</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Iran reversed its decision to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and fired on a tanker attempting to pass the waterway on Saturday. It also warned that it would continue to block transit through the strait as long as the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports remained in effect.Confusion over the critical chokepoint threatened to deepen the energy crisis roiling the global economy and push the two countries toward renewed conflict, even as mediators expressed confidence a new deal was within reach.Iran&#039;s joint military command said on Saturday that &quot;control of the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous state ... under strict management and control of the armed forces.&quot;Two gunboats from Iran&#039;s Revolutionary Guard opened fire on a tanker transiting the Strait of Hormuz, the British military&#039;s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said. It reported the tanker and crew as safe, without identifying the vessel or its destination. TankerTrackers.com reported vessels were forced to turn around in the strait, including an Indian-flagged supertanker, after they were fired on by Iran.Saturday&#039;s developments came after U.S. President Donald Trump said the blockade &quot;will remain in full force&quot; until Tehran reaches a deal with the U.S. that includes its nuclear program. Tehran had reopened the strait Friday to commercial vessels.Roughly one-fifth of the world&#039;s oil passes through the strait and further limits would squeeze already constrained supply, driving prices higher once again. Iran&#039;s Friday announcement about the opening of the crucial body of water, through which 20% of the world&#039;s oil is shipped, came as a 10-day truce between Israel and the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon appeared to hold.Despite the escalation, Pakistani officials say the United States and Iran are still moving closer to a deal ahead of the April 22 ceasefire deadline.The fighting has killed at least 3,000 people in Iran, nearly 2,300 in Lebanon, 23 in Israel and more than a dozen in Gulf Arab states. Thirteen U.S. service members have also been killed.Here is the latest:Another Israeli soldier dies in combatIsrael&#039;s military says another soldier died in combat in southern Lebanon, the second death announced in under twelve hours.It brought the total number of soldiers killed in Lebanon to 15, and was the second soldier killed in combat since the ceasefire.The military said another soldier was badly wounded in the same incident, along with four moderately wounded and four lightly injured.It was the second soldier to die since the ceasefire. The first died because of wounds sustained during combat, the military said.UN chief condemns attack in Lebanon that killed French peacekeeperStéphane Dujarric, the spokesman for U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres, says Guterres has strongly condemned the killing of a French peacekeeper and the wounding of three others in an attack in southern Lebanon.The U.N. peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon came under attack with small-arms fire Saturday morning. Two of the injured were hurt seriously, France&#039;s president and the force known as UNIFIL said.Both President Emmanuel Macron and the UNIFIL force blamed Hezbollah, but the Lebanese militant group denied involvement.Iran declares the Strait of Hormuz fully closed, state media reportsThe navy of Iran&#039;s Revolutionary Guard Corps said it extended the closure to the corridor it had earlier designated for the safe passage of vessels through the strategic waterway and declared the strait fully closed until the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports and ships is lifted.On Friday, Iran said vessels could move through the strait in coordination with it and against the payment of a toll.But in a statement late Saturday carried by Iran&#039;s state media, the navy warned that any violating vessel would be targeted.Iran considers the U.S. blockade a violation of the ceasefire between the two countries. Two vessels were attacked earlier on Saturday in the Strait of Hormuz and off Oman&#039;s coast, at least one of them by Iranian gunboats.Israel says one of its soldiers has been killed in LebanonThe military said the soldier, an officer, was killed in south Lebanon on Friday, the day after the start of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire that has otherwise largely held.It said two other soldiers were injured in the incident, but didn&#039;t release any more details.This brings to 14 the number of Israeli soldiers killed in the latest war in Lebanon.Hezbollah leader dismisses ceasefire paper published by USNaim Kassem, head of the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, in a statement read on the group&#039;s al-Manar TV said a paper published by the U.S. State Department that it described as the text of a ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel &quot;means nothing at the practical level, but it is an insult to our country.&quot;&quot;Everyone knows that the government of Lebanon has not met or approved this statement,&quot; he said.The text published by the U.S. described the 10-day truce ]]></description>

<title>At least 250 people missing, including Rohingya and Bangladeshis, after boat sinks in Andaman Sea</title>

<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/at-least-250-people-missing-including-rohingya-and-bangladeshis-after-boat-sinks-in-andaman-sea</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ By Julhas Alam At least 250 people, including Rohingya refugees and Bangladeshi nationals, were missing after a boat capsized in the Andaman Sea recently on the way to Malaysia, according to the United Nations’ refugee and migration agencies.While details remained sketchy, Bangladesh Coast Guard spokesperson Lt. Com. Sabbir Alam Suzan told The Associated Press on Wednesday that nine people, including three Rohingya and six Bangladeshis, were rescued on April 9. Suzan said the Bangladesh flag carrier M.T. Meghna Pride rescued the nine people when the crew found them floating at sea after the capsize.When the boat sank and the status of any search Wednesday were unclear.The U.N. high commissioner for refugees and the International Organization for Migration in a joint statement said Tuesday that the trawler departed from Teknaf in the southern Bangladeshi district of Cox’s Bazar carrying a large number of passengers to Malaysia.Overcrowding, strong winds and rough seas caused the vessel to lose control and sink, the agencies said.Shari Nijman, a UNCHR communication officer in Cox’s Bazar, said Wednesday that the agency had no other updates.Another coast guard media official told the AP by phone Wednesday that the rescued people, eight men and one woman, were all safe after being handed over to the coast guard, who brought them to the police in Teknaf.The official said the rescue was not part of any official search operation as it is outside Bangladesh territory, and that the crew of the M.T. Meghna Pride saved the people while it was on its way to Indonesia from Bangladesh&#039;s Chittagong.The official spoke by phone on condition of anonymity in line with official policy.UNHCR and IOM said the disappearance reflected the protracted displacement of Rohingya people and the absence of durable solutions.They said ongoing violence in Myanmar’s Rakhine state has made the Rohingya’s safe return to Myanmar uncertain, while limited humanitarian assistance, as well as restricted access to education and employment in refugee camps, continue to push vulnerable Rohingya refugees to choose risky sea journeys, often based on false promises of higher wages and better opportunities abroad.UNHCR and IOM urged the international community to strengthen funding and solidarity to ensure lifesaving assistance for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, which has sheltered more than 1 million Rohingya from Myanmar. ]]></description>

<title>Many US Catholics are dismayed by Trump&amp;apos;s unprecedented broadside at the first American pope</title>

<description><![CDATA[ By David Crary, Peter Smith And Steve PeoplesA majority of U.S. Catholic voters supported Donald Trump in his 2024 presidential victory. Yet across the broad Catholic political spectrum – even among conservative-leaning bishops – there is dismay over Trump’s unprecedented verbal assault on Pope Leo XIV, the first American to lead their church.Leo says he is sharing a Gospel message and not directly attacking Trump or anyone else with his appeals for peace and criticism of attitudes fueling the war.Criticism of Trump came from Archbishop Paul Coakley, head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, and from Minnesota-based Bishop Robert Barron, who only a few days ago was applauding Trump as an Easter guest at the White House. Barron called the president’s remarks “entirely inappropriate and disrespectful” and urged him to apologize.The dismay extended into an even more solid base of Trump support — conservative Christian evangelicals. Many were appalled that Trump followed his Truth Social attack on Leo by posting an image depicting himself as a Christ-like savior.“TAKE THIS DOWN, MR. PRESIDENT,” posted David Brody, a prominent Trump-supporting commentator with the Christian Broadcasting Network. “You’re not God. None of us are. This goes too far. It crosses the line.”By midday Monday, the image had been taken down from Truth Social. And speaking at the White House, the president claimed that he never intended to liken himself to Jesus when he posted the picture.“How did they come up with that?&quot; he asked. “It’s supposed to be me as a doctor, making people better. And I do make people better. I make people a lot better.&quot;Trump: No apology neededOn his clash with the pope, Trump was equally defiant: “There’s nothing to apologize for. He’s wrong.”The president&#039;s feud with American religious communities comes just six months before voting begins in this fall&#039;s midterms as Trump grapples with low approval ratings and dissension from his MAGA base over the war with Iran. But few groups of voters have been more loyal to Trump — and important to his political success — than those on the religious right.For now, some Trump allies are optimistic that the dispute will soon be forgotten.“There is a deep reservoir of appreciation for the president and his faith-based policies that transcends and eclipses any disagreement over a social media post,” Ralph Reed, who sits on the president’s faith advisory board, told The Associated Press.Through American history, numerous U.S. presidents have had policy differences with various popes. But experts on the Vatican and religious history could recall no exchange comparable to the back-and-forth between Trump and Leo over the pope’s condemnation of America&#039;s role in the Iran war.“This is unprecedented criticism of a Pope from a US president,” David Campbell, a political science professor at the University of Notre Dame, said via email.“As to whether it will have a big effect on how US Catholic voters regard Trump, that is an open question,” Campbell added. “Given that attitudes toward the president are driven largely by people’s party preference — which is hard to move -- it probably will not have a huge impact on Catholics’ attitudes toward Trump.”David Gibson, director of Fordham University’s Center on Religion and Culture, noted that many lay Catholics have been standing by Trump in recent weeks and have been critical of their bishops who critique the president.“If this attack on the pope does not shift that dynamic in a marked way it will truly be a watershed moment ... with American Catholics choosing a Catholic-baiting president over their own pope,” Gibson said.Looking far back into world history, Trump’s attempt to “strong-arm Pope Leo” isn’t anything new, said Kathleen Sprows Cummings, a professor of American Studies and History at Notre Dame.“Emperors, monarchs, and despots have long threatened popes in an effort to force them to bend to their will,” she said via email. “In an American context, however, Trump’s invective does represent a historic reversal.”“For most of this country’s history, Americans viewed the pope as war-mongering, money-grubbing, anti-democratic menace who had designs on the White House,” she added. “Today, the menace is in the White House, and the pope is the one defending the ideals of liberty and human dignity.”At a prayer service Saturday, the pontiff denounced the “ delusion of omnipotence ” that he said was fueling the war with Iran. Without citing Trump or the U.S. specifically, the pope said: “Enough of the display of power! Enough of war!”On Monday, he was specific in responding to the president’s criticisms, saying “I have no fear of the Trump administration.”Vance suggests Vatican should stay out of politics in some casesVice President JD Vance, a Catholic convert who occasionally has sparred with church leaders over their criticism of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, said in an interview on Fox News Channel on Monday ni ]]></description>

<title>Trump says US military has blockaded Iranian ports to pressure Tehran</title>

<description><![CDATA[ By SAMY MAGDY, JULIA FRANKEL and MIKE CORDER Associated PressU.S. President Donald Trump said Monday the American military had begun a blockade of Iranian ports as part of his effort to force Tehran to open the Strait of Hormuz and accept a deal to end the war that has raged for more than six weeks.Iran responded with threats on all ports in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, taking aim at U.S.-allied countries.At least two tankers approaching the strait Monday turned around soon after the U.S. blockade began, vessel tracker MarineTraffic said in a post on X.The U.K. Maritime Trade Operations agency said the blockade restricted &quot;the entirety of the Iranian coastline, including ports and energy infrastructure.&quot; Its notice to mariners said transit through the strait to or from non-Iranian places was not reported to be impeded though ships &quot;may encounter military presence.&quot;The U.S. blockade and Iran&#039;s threatened retaliation set up an extraordinary showdown that posed serious risks for the global economy and raised the specter that the ceasefire could collapse and the fighting could resume. Talks aimed at permanently ending the conflict — which began Feb. 28 with U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran — failed to reach an agreement this past weekend.Trump says the blockade has begun&quot;We can&#039;t let a country blackmail or extort the world because that&#039;s what they&#039;re doing,&quot; Trump said of Iran at the White House, where he announced the blockade had started.He suggested the U.S. remains willing to engage with Iran.&quot;I can tell you that we&#039;ve been called by the other side,&quot; Trump said, adding that &quot;they want to work a deal.&quot;Discussions between the U.S. and Iran about a second round of in-person negotiations are underway, two U.S. officials and a person familiar with the development said Monday. A diplomat from one of the mediating countries said Tehran and Washington have agreed to more talks.All four spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomatic negotiations.Iran&#039;s effective closure of the strait, through which a fifth of global oil transits in peacetime, has sent oil prices skyrocketing, pushing up the cost of gasoline, food and other basic goods far beyond the Middle East.Before the U.S. blockade, Tehran had allowed some ships perceived as friendly to pass while charging considerable fees, leading to accusations it is holding the global economy hostage.Some analysts are doubtful that the United States can restore normal shipping through force alone. And it&#039;s not clear how the blockade will work or what the dangers might be to U.S. forces.The question is essentially who can endure the most pain: Could a blockade make Iran&#039;s economic situation untenable and force it to concede? Or will it drive global oil and other prices so high that Trump is forced to back down?The blockade could have far-reaching effectsThe U.S. military&#039;s Central Command announced the blockade would be enforced &quot;against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas&quot; on the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.CENTCOM&#039;s decision to allow ships traveling between non-Iranian ports to transit the strait was a step down from Trump&#039;s earlier threat to blockade the waterway.In a social media message, Trump said Iran&#039;s navy had been &quot;completely obliterated&quot; but still had &quot;fast attack ships.&quot; Trump warned that &quot;if any of these ships come anywhere close to our BLOCKADE, they will be immediately ELIMINATED.&quot;Iran issued threats of its own.&quot;Security in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman is either for everyone or for NO ONE,&quot; the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting reported Monday. &quot;An Iranian military statement said: &quot;NO PORT in the region will be safe.&quot;The threats halted the limited ship traffic that resumed in the strait since the ceasefire, according to a report from Lloyd&#039;s List Intelligence. Marine trackers say over 40 commercial ships have crossed since the start of the ceasefire last week, down from 100 or more vessel passages per day before the war.The blockade is intended to pressure Iran, which has exported millions of barrels of oil since the war began, much of it likely carried by so-called dark transits that evade Western sanctions and oversight.But the effects will be felt far beyond Iran. The price of Brent crude oil, the international standard, hovered Monday just under $100 per barrel. It cost roughly $70 per barrel before the war.Iran says &#039;if you fight, we will fight&#039;Top-ranking Iranian officials threatened retaliation.Ebrahim Rezaei, a spokesperson for the Iranian parliament&#039;s National Security Commission, dismissed U.S. the threat of a U.S. blockade as &quot;more bluffing than reality.&quot;&quot;It will make the current situation (Trump) is in more complicated and makes the market — which he is angry about — more turbulent,&quot; he said in a post on X.The Iranian parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, addressed Trump in a statement: &quot;If you fight, we will fight.&quot;Meanwhile, Iran&#039;s representative to the United ]]></description>

<title>Election loss for Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán has ripple effects for Trump, US conservatives</title>

<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/election-loss-for-hungarian-prime-minister-orban-has-ripple-effects-for-trump-us-conservatives</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ By Nicholas Riccardi And Matt BrownThe big election over the weekend was in a small European country nearly half a world away from Washington, but the defeat of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has significant reverberations in the United States.That&#039;s because President Donald Trump and many U.S. conservatives have long embraced Orbán, who has become an icon among the global right for his anti-immigrant stance. The American president&#039;s agenda has striking parallels with the way the Hungarian leader used the levers of government to tilt the media, judiciary and electoral system to keep his party in power for 16 years.Trump supported Orbán’s reelection bid and even dispatched Vice President JD Vance to Budapest last week — in the midst of the Iran war — to stump for the incumbent.Orbán&#039;s loss was a reminder of how the war has diminished Trump&#039;s ability to help allied politicians overseas, as well as of the limited ability of leaders to use their power to tilt voting in their direction in an age of worldwide discontent over incumbents of all ideological stripes.“Oppositions can win despite a tilted playing field,” said Steven Levitsky, a politics professor at Harvard and coauthor of the book “How Democracies Die.” “Democracies are facing many challenges in many parts of the world, but so are autocracies.”Orbán’s defeat has immediate global implications because he was the European leader closest to Russian President Vladimir Putin and had blocked European Union aid to Ukraine, which is defending itself after Russian&#039;s 2022 invasion.His fall was celebrated on Sunday by both Democrats and Republicans, some of whom criticized their own administration for such overt support for the Hungarian leader.“Don’t fiddle-paddle in other democracies’ elections,” Republican Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska said on the social media site X.“The freedom-loving people of Hungary have voted decisively in favor of democracy and the rule of law,” posted Republican Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi.Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union, is part of the wing of the American right that embraced Orbán. The Conservative Political Action Conference, which Schlapp&#039;s group hosts, held its first European session in Budapest and has made Hungary a regular destination.Orban was a featured speaker at the group&#039;s conference in Dallas in 2022.Schlapp said there&#039;s an easy explanation for Orbán&#039;s loss.“Eventually, democracies just want change,” he said. “In democracies, you don&#039;t have kings, and the people in the end speak.”&quot;The people of Hungary were saying, &#039;We&#039;re having a difficult time with inflation, the economy and the war. Let&#039;s try the new guy,&#039;” Schlapp said, noting that he backs Trump&#039;s Iran war but the turmoil it&#039;s created, especially in European energy markets, hurt Orbán.Diana Sosoaca, a far-right member of the European Parliament from Romania, on Sunday called Vance&#039;s Hungarian visit “a big mistake” given widespread revulsion at the Iran war on the continent.“You invite a representative of the United States of America, who created the big disorder in this world?” Sosoaca said in an interview posted by the Kremlin-controlled network RT, formerly known as Russia Today. “It was the biggest mistake he could do before the elections.”How Orbán consolidated powerAn anti-communist activist in his youth, Orbán was initially elected prime minister in 1998 but took a turn to the right after being voted out in 2002. Upon returning to office in 2010, Orbán and his Fidesz party implemented a legal framework to consolidate authority that he and his allies developed while he was out of power.Orbán embraced what he dubbed “illiberal democracy,” building a barrier on Hungary&#039;s southern border to block migrants from Africa and Asia who were moving northward through Europe. He and his party stifled LGBTQ+ rights, cracked down on freedom of the press and undermined judicial independence.Orbán cemented his power when his Fidesz party won enough seats in Parliament during the 2010 global recession to rewrite the country&#039;s constitution. They restructured the judiciary to funnel appointments to the bench through party loyalists, redrew legislative districts to make it much harder for Fidesz members to lose elections and helped push Hungary&#039;s media companies to be sold to tycoons allied with Orban.The European Union has declared Hungary an “electoral autocracy.”Orbán backers have scoffed at suggestions that the Hungarian leader is an enemy of democracy, and on Sunday he quickly conceded his loss. Democrats have worried that Trump will try to use his own executive power to tilt November&#039;s midterm elections or the 2028 presidential vote to his party, much as Trump tried to use his official powers to overturn Democrat Joe Biden&#039;s win in the 2020 presidential election.“Most importantly for American voters, even a guy who rigs the system can be defeated when the people unite and turn out against him,” said Ian Bassin of Protect Democracy, a nonpart ]]></description>

<title>Chart shows Iran may have put sea mines in Strait of Hormuz</title>
<link>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/chart-shows-iran-may-have-put-sea-mines-in-strait-of-hormuz</link>
<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/chart-shows-iran-may-have-put-sea-mines-in-strait-of-hormuz</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ By JON GAMBRELL and ELENA BECATOROS Associated PressSemiofficial news agencies in Iran published a chart Thursday suggesting the country&#039;s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard put sea mines into the Strait of Hormuz during the war, in a message that may be intended to pressure the U.S. as uncertainty hangs over a days-old two-week ceasefire and further negotiations are set to begin in Pakistan.The charts were released by the ISNA news agency, as well as Tasnim, which is believed to be close to the Guard, and showed a large circle marked &quot;danger zone&quot; in Farsi over the Traffic Separation Scheme, which was the route ships used to take through the strait, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which 20% of all oil and natural gas traded once passed.The chart suggested ships travel further north through waters closer to Iran&#039;s mainland near Larak Island, a route that some ships were observed taking during the war.The charts were dated from Feb. 28 until Thursday, April 9, and it was unclear if the Guard had cleared any mining on the route since then.U.S. President Donald Trump posted a statement insisting that his surge of warships and troops will remain around Iran &quot;until such time as the REAL AGREEMENT reached is fully complied with.&quot;Trump&#039;s comments on his Truth Social platform appeared to be a way to pressure Iran.&quot;If for any reason it is not, which is highly unlikely, then the &#039;Shootin&#039; Starts,&#039; bigger, and better, and stronger than anyone has ever seen before,&quot; Trump wrote.He also insisted Iran would not be able to build nuclear weapons and &quot;the Strait of Hormuz WILL BE OPEN &amp; SAFE.&quot;The U.S. and Iran both claimed victory after reaching the ceasefire agreement, and world leaders expressed relief. But more drones and missiles hit Iran and Gulf Arab countries after the deal was announced.At the same time, Israel intensified its attacks on the Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon, hitting commercial and residential areas in Beirut. At least 182 people were killed Wednesday in the deadliest day of fighting there.The violence threatened to scuttle what U.S. Vice President JD Vance called a &quot;fragile&quot; deal.Iran&#039;s parliament speaker said Wednesday that planned talks were &quot;unreasonable&quot; because Washington had broken three of Tehran&#039;s 10 conditions for an end to the fighting. In a social media post, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf objected to Israeli attacks on Hezbollah, an alleged drone incursion into Iranian airspace after the ceasefire took effect and U.S. refusal to accept any Iranian enrichment capabilities in a final agreement.Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi insisted that an end to the war in Lebanon was part of the ceasefire deal, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump said the truce did not cover Lebanon. When the deal was announced, the prime minister of Pakistan, which served as a mediator, said in a social media post that it applied to &quot;everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere.&quot;A New York-based think-tank warned the ceasefire &quot;hovers on the verge of collapse.&quot;The Soufan Center said Israel&#039;s strikes on Lebanon on Wednesday added to the risk the deal would fall apart.&quot;Even if Lebanon was formally outside the deal, the scale of Israel&#039;s strikes was likely to be viewed as escalatory, nonetheless,&quot; it wrote in an analysis published Thursday. &quot;Israel&#039;s strikes can be understood both as an effort to drive a wedge between Iran and its proxies and as a response to being allegedly sidelined in the original ceasefire discussions.&quot; ]]></description>

<title>Iran calls for human chains around power plants as Trump&amp;apos;s deadline nears</title>

<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/iran-calls-for-human-chains-around-power-plants-as-trumps-deadline-nears</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ By JON GAMBRELL, DAVID RISING and SAMY MAGDY Associated PressAirstrikes across Iran killed at least 15 people on Tuesday, while Iran fired on Israel and Saudi Arabia, prompting the temporary closure of a major bridge. The attacks came as Iranian officials urged youths to form human chains around power plants to protect them, as the latest deadline set by U.S. President Donald Trump for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz drew closer.Trump has threatened to bomb all of Iran&#039;s power plants and bridges if Iran does not meet his Tuesday 8 p.m. EDT deadline to allow shipping traffic to fully resume through the strategic waterway, through which a fifth of the world&#039;s oil transits in peacetime.&quot;The entire country can be taken out in one night,&quot; Trump said. Trump has repeatedly extended previous deadlines, but suggested this one was final, saying he&#039;d already given Iran enough extra time.Israel&#039;s military warned Iranians in Farsi to avoid taking trains throughout the day, likely telegraphing intended strikes on the rail network.&quot;Your presence puts your life at risk,&quot; the warning posted on X read.France joined a growing chorus of international voices calling for restraint, with Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot saying attacks targeting civilian and energy infrastructure &quot;are barred by the rules of war, international law.&quot;&quot;They would without doubt trigger a new phase of escalation, of reprisals, that would drag the region and the world economy into a vicious circle that would be very worrying and, most of all, very damaging to our own interests,&quot; the minister said on France Info television.Iran choked off shipping through the strait after Israel and the U.S. attacked on Feb. 28, starting the war. On Monday, Tehran rejected a 45-day ceasefire proposal and said it wants a permanent end to the war.Early Tuesday, Tehran launched seven ballistic missiles at Saudi Arabia, which authorities said rained debris on the ground near energy facilities as they were intercepted. Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Turki al-Malki said the damage was being assessed.The attacks prompted Saudi Arabia to close the King Fahd Causeway, a bridge that links Saudi Arabia to the island kingdom of Bahrain for several hours. The 25-kilometer (15.5 mile) bridge is the only connection by road for Bahrain, home to the U.S. Navy&#039;s 5th Fleet, to the Arabian Peninsula.Elsewhere, activists reported a new wave of strikes on Tehran, for which Israel later claimed responsibility. Nine people were killed in the city of Shahriar and six more in Pardis in other airstrikes, Iranian media reported.Iran also fired on Israel, with reports of incoming missiles in Tel Aviv and Eilat.Trump&#039;s threats to bomb civilian infrastructure prompt warnings of war crimesIran&#039;s attacks on the energy infrastructure of its Gulf Arab neighbors, coupled with its stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz, has sent oil prices skyrocketing and is causing global economic problems.In early spot trading, Brent crude, the international standard, was above $111 per barrel, up more than 50% since the start of the war.Under growing pressure at home as consumers feel the pinch, Trump has demanded that Iran open the Strait of Hormuz to all shipping traffic or see power plants and bridges wiped out. The threat to hit civilian infrastructure has sparked widespread warnings about possible war crimes.New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon on Tuesday urged Trump not to follow through, saying the &quot;focus needs to be on not seeing this conflict expand any further.&quot;&quot;Any of those actions including bombing bridges and reservoirs and civilian infrastructure would be unacceptable,&quot; Luxon told Radio New Zealand.Iran sought to up the ante, calling on &quot;all young people, athletes, artists, students and university students and their professors&quot; to form human chains around power plants ahead of the threatened strikes.&quot;Power plants that are our national assets and capital, regardless of any taste or political viewpoint, belong to the future of Iran and to the Iranian youth,&quot; Alireza Rahimi, identified by Iranian state television as the secretary of the Supreme Council of Youth and Adolescents, said as he issued the video call in a newscast.Iran has formed human chains in the past around its nuclear sites at times of heightened tensions with the West.Later, a Revolutionary Guard general urged parents to send their children to man checkpoints, which have been repeatedly targeted in airstrikes.U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres warned the U.S. that attacks on civilian infrastructure are banned under international law, according to his spokesperson. Trump, speaking with reporters, said he&#039;s &quot;not at all&quot; concerned about committing war crimes with such attacks.As the deadline neared, efforts were still underway to reach a negotiated solution. Even though Iran has rejected the latest proposal from the U.S., officials involved in the diplomacy say that talks are still ongoing.Death toll continues to rise across ]]></description>

<title>Artemis II breaks Apollo 13’s distance record with daring moon flyby that included a solar eclipse</title>

<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/artemis-ii-breaks-apollo-13s-distance-record-with-daring-moon-flyby-that-included-a-solar-eclipse</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ By MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace WriterAfter traveling deeper into space than any other humans, the Artemis II astronauts pointed their moonship toward home Monday night, wrapping up a lunar cruise that revealed views of the far side never beheld by eyes until now.Their flyby of the moon — NASA&#039;s first return since the Apollo era — even included some celestial sightseeing besides yielding rich science. It was a significant step toward landing boot prints near the moon&#039;s south pole in just two years.A total solar eclipse greeted the three Americans and one Canadian as the moon temporarily blocked the sun from their perspective. Mercury, Venus, Mars and Saturn nodded at them from the black void. The landing sites of Apollo 12 and 14 also were visible, poignant reminders of NASA&#039;s first age of exploration more than half a century ago.In an especially riveting retro throwback, Artemis II shattered the distance record set by Apollo 13 in 1970. NASA&#039;s Orion capsule reached a maximum distance of 252,756 miles (406,771 kilometers) from Earth before hanging a U-turn behind the moon, 4,101 miles (6,600 kilometers) farther than Apollo 13.&quot;It is blowing my mind what you can see with the naked eye from the moon right now. It is just unbelievable,&quot; Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen radioed. He challenged &quot;this generation and the next to make sure this record is not long-lived.&quot;Artemis II astronauts get an Apollo wake-up messageApollo 13 commander Jim Lovell wished the crew well in a recording made two months before his death last August. Mission Control beamed up his message to commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Hansen, before their fly-around began.&quot;Welcome to my old neighborhood,&quot; said Lovell, who also flew on Apollo 8, humanity&#039;s first lunar visit. &quot;It&#039;s a historic day and I know how busy you&#039;ll be, but don&#039;t forget to enjoy the view.&quot;The Artemis II astronauts carried up with them the Apollo 8 silk patch that accompanied Lovell to the moon. &quot;It&#039;s just a real honor to have that on board with us,&quot; Wiseman said.Artemis II is using the same maneuver that Apollo 13 did after its &quot;Houston, we&#039;ve had a problem&quot; oxygen tank explosion wiped out any hope of a moon landing.Known as a free-return lunar trajectory, this no-stopping-to-land route takes advantage of Earth and the moon&#039;s gravity, reducing the need for fuel. It&#039;s a celestial figure-eight that put the astronauts on course for home once they emerged from behind the moon Monday evening.Astronauts lock in on lunar observationsArtemis II&#039;s lunar fly-around and intense observation period lasted seven hours, by far the highlight of the nearly 10-day test flight that will end with a splashdown in the Pacific on Friday.Venturing as close as 4,067 miles (6,545 kilometers) to the gray dusty surface, the astronauts zipped through a list of more than two dozen targets, using powerful Nikon cameras as well as their iPhones to zoom in on impact craters and other intriguing lunar features.Before getting started, they requested permission to name two bright, freshly carved craters. They suggested Integrity, the name of their capsule, and Carroll, commander Wiseman&#039;s wife, who died of cancer in 2020.Wiseman wept as Hansen put in the request to Mission Control, and all four astronauts embraced in tears.&quot;Such a majestic view out here,&quot; Wiseman radioed once he regained his composure and started picture-taking. The astronauts called down that they managed to capture the moon and Earth in the same shot, and they provided a running commentary to scientists back in Houston on what they were seeing.At one point, Koch reported an overwhelming sensation of emotion for a second or two while zooming in on the moon. &quot;Something just drew me in suddenly to the lunar landscape and it became real,&quot; she said.The Artemis II astronauts made their closest approach to the moon and reached their maximum distance from Earth while they were out of contact. Their speed at closest approach: 3,139 mph (5,052 kph). The spacecraft accelerated as it appeared from behind the moon and the planned communications blackout and made tracks for Earth.An Earthrise came into view showing Asia, Africa and Oceania as Mission Control called out: &quot;We are Earthbound and ready to bring you home.&quot; Flight controllers in Houston flipped their mission patches over to signify the return leg.President Donald Trump phoned the astronauts following the flyby, calling them &quot;modern-day pioneers.&quot;&quot;Today you&#039;ve made history and made all America really proud, incredibly proud,&quot; the president said, adding that more lunar traveling is coming and ultimately &quot;the whole big trip to Mars.&quot;Wiseman and his crew spent years studying lunar geography to prepare for the big event, adding solar eclipses to their repertoire during the past few weeks. By launching last Wednesday, they ensured themselves of a total solar eclipse from their vantage point behind the moon, courtesy of the cosmos.Topping their science target list: Orientale ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ By JON GAMBRELL, SAMY MAGDY, BASSEM MROUE and WILL WEISSERT Associated Press U.S. President Donald Trump expanded his threat against Iran to include all power plants and bridges Monday as his ultimatum to make a deal ticked closer, after Tehran rejected a 45-day ceasefire proposal and said it wants a permanent end to the war.&quot;The entire country can be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night,&quot; Trump said. He suggested that his Tuesday 8 p.m. EDT deadline was final, saying he&#039;d already given Iran enough extensions.The U.S. has told Iran to open the crucial Strait of Hormuz to all shipping traffic or see power plants and bridges wiped out, sparking warnings about possible war crimes.Israel piled on pressure by attacking a major petrochemical plant and killing the intelligence chief for the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard.Tehran with its rejection conveyed its own, 10-point plant to end the fighting through Pakistan, a key mediator, Iran&#039;s state-run IRNA news agency said.&quot;We only accept an end of the war with guarantees that we won&#039;t be attacked again,&quot; Mojtaba Ferdousi Pour, head of Iran&#039;s diplomatic mission in Cairo, told The Associated Press. He said Iran no longer trusts the Trump administration after the U.S. bombed the Islamic Republic twice during previous rounds of talks.A regional official involved in talks said efforts had not collapsed. &quot;We are still talking to both sides,&quot; he said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss closed-door diplomacy.And even Trump said negotiations with Iran continued.Activists reported a new wave of strikes on Tehran early Tuesday. Israel claimed credit but offered no immediate details on what had been targeted.Meanwhile, Japan said Tuesday a Japanese national who had been detained in Iran since January has been released on bail.Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara told reporters in Tokyo that his release was confirmed Monday and that Japan is demanding a full release from Iranian authorities. He said the Japanese ambassador to Iran met the person released and that he was in good health without providing further details.The person released is believed to be a journalist at Japan&#039;s NHK public television. Another Japanese national, who was detained in Iran last June, was released and returned to Japan in March.Trump says Iranians &#039;willing to suffer&#039; for freedomTrump has issued ultimatums to Iran before, only to find ways to back off. But he was more explicit this time on plans to follow through.&quot;Every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o&#039;clock tomorrow night,&quot; he said, and all power plants will be &quot;burning, exploding and never to be used again.&quot;Asked if he was concerned about accusations of war crimes, Trump responded, &quot;No, not at all.&quot; He suggested that Iranians want the U.S. to carry out its threats because it could lead to the end of their current leadership.Iranian citizens are &quot;willing to suffer,&quot; he said, &quot;in order to have freedom.&quot; But there has been no sign of an uprising in Iran as residents shelter from bombardment.International warnings piled up against expanded strikes. &quot;Any attack on civilian infrastructure is a violation of international law and a very clear one,&quot; United Nations spokesperson Stephane Dujarric later told journalists.Egyptian, Pakistani and Turkish mediators had sent Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and U.S. Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff a proposal calling for the ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, two Mideast officials told the AP. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private negotiations.Iranian and Omani officials also were working on a mechanism for administrating the strait, through which a fifth of the world&#039;s oil is shipped in peacetime. Iran&#039;s grip on it has shaken the world economy.Tehran has refused to let U.S. and Israeli vessels through after they started the war on Feb. 28.Iran&#039;s new supreme leader makes rare statementIsrael struck a key petrochemical plant in the South Pars natural gas field, saying it was aimed at eliminating a major source of revenue for Iran. The field, the world&#039;s largest, is shared with Qatar and is Iran&#039;s biggest source of domestic energy for its 93 million people.The strike appeared to be separate from Trump&#039;s threats. An earlier Israeli attack there in March prompted Iran to target energy infrastructure in other Middle East countries, a major escalation.Israel also killed the head of intelligence for Iran&#039;s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, Maj. Gen. Majid Khademi, according to Iranian state media. And Israel said it killed the leader of the Revolutionary Guard&#039;s undercover unit in its expeditionary Quds Force, Asghar Bakeri.&quot;We will continue to hunt them down one by one,&quot; Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said of top Iranian officials.New Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who still has not been seen or heard in public, issued a rare statement expressing condolences over Khademi.

<title>Artemis II toilet acts up again as astronauts speed toward the moon to break Apollo 13&amp;apos;s record</title>

<description><![CDATA[ By Marcia Dunn Now more than halfway to the moon, the Artemis II astronauts prepared for their historic lunar fly-around to push deeper into space than even the Apollo astronauts.On the downside, their toilet is on the blink again.The three Americans and one Canadian are set to reach their destination Monday, photographing the mysterious lunar far side as they zoom around. It is the first moon-bound crew in more than 53 years, picking up where NASA’s Apollo program left off.“The Earth is quite small, and the moon is definitely getting bigger,” pilot Victor Glover reported.Until the Orion capsule&#039;s bathroom is fixed, Mission Control has instructed the astronauts to break out more of the backup urine collection bags. The so-called lunar loo malfunctioned following Wednesday’s liftoff and has been hit-and-miss ever since. A version of the Artemis II toilet was tested on the International Space Station several years ago.Engineers suspect ice may be blocking the line that is preventing urine from completely flushing overboard. The toilet is still open for No. 2 business.Debbie Korth, NASA’s Orion program deputy manager, said the astronauts have also reported a smell coming from the bathroom, which is buried in the floor of the capsule with a door and curtain for privacy.“Space toilets and bathrooms are something everybody can really understand .. it’s always a challenge,” she said, noting that the space shuttle toilet was also often on the fritz.John Honeycutt, chair of the mission management team, said it is human nature to be interested in the space commode, and even though it is “in a good state right now,” he’d like it to be working at 100%.“They’re OK,” he said of the astronauts. “They trained to manage through the situation.”Artemis II is poised to set a distance record for humans, traveling more than 252,000 miles (400,000 kilometers) from Earth before hanging a U-turn behind the moon and heading home without stopping or entering lunar orbit. The record is currently held by Apollo 13.The Canadian Space Agency celebrated the country’s role in the mission, speaking from Quebec with astronaut Jeremy Hansen as he headed toward his lunar rendezvous. Hansen is the first non-U.S. citizen to fly to the moon.“Today he is making history for Canada,” Canadian Space Agency President Lisa Campbell said. “As we watch him taking this bold step into the unknown, let his journey remind us that Canada’s future is written by those who dare to reach for more.”In the live televised linkup, Hansen said he has already witnessed “extraordinary” views from NASA&#039;s Orion capsule.Hansen, Glover, Reid Wiseman and Christina Koch are the world&#039;s first lunar astronauts since Apollo 17&#039;s crew of three in 1972. Koch and Glover are the first female and first Black astronauts to the moon, respectively.Their nearly 10-day mission — ending with a Pacific splashdown on April 10 — is the first step in NASA&#039;s bold plans for a sustainable moon base. The space agency is aiming for a landing by two astronauts near the lunar south pole in 2028. ]]></description>

<title>Floods, landslides triggered by heavy rain in Afghanistan leave 77 dead in 10 days, authorities say</title>

<description><![CDATA[ By Abdul Qahar Afghan Widespread flooding, landslides and lightning strikes triggered by heavy rain and storms across Afghanistan have left 77 people dead and 137 injured over the past 10 days, the country’s Disaster Management Authority said Saturday.More rain has been forecast for the coming days throughout Afghanistan, and the authority warned the public to stay away from river banks and areas prone to flooding.So far this year, dozens of people have died due to extreme weather in Afghanistan, an impoverished country that is highly vulnerable to extreme weather events. Earlier this year, heavy snowfall and flash floods left dozens of people dead across the country.The recent toll includes 26 people killed over the past 48 hours, the disaster authority said. Overall, 793 homes have been completely destroyed and a further 2,673 have been damaged, while floods and landslides have destroyed 337 kilometers (about 210 miles) of roads, it said.Businesses, agricultural land, water wells and irrigation canals have also been damaged, with more than 5,800 families affected overall, the authority said.Several highways connecting the country’s capital to the provinces have also been damaged by floods and landslides, forcing travelers to take long, circuitous routes to reach Kabul, Public Works Ministry spokesman Ashraf Haqshinas said Saturday.They include the Kabul to Jalalabad highway, which is the main route linking the capital to the Pakistani border and eastern Afghan provinces. A landslide and rockfalls, as well as flooding, shut the highway on Thursday morning, and Haqshinas said crews were working to re-open the road.The Public Works Ministry warned travelers to be cautious when using roads in affected areas.Flooding has also shut the Salang Pass, a high mountain pass in the Hindu Kush mountain range that connects Kabul to the country’s north, including the major cities of Kunduz and Mazar-e-Sharif.Snow and heavy rain often trigger flash floods that kill scores, or even hundreds, of people at a time in Afghanistan. In 2024, more than 300 people died in springtime flash floods. ]]></description>

<title>Pope Leo XIV carries cross for full Good Friday procession, the first pontiff to do so in decades</title>

<description><![CDATA[ By Colleen Barry And Trisha Thomas Pope Leo XIV carried a wooden cross for all of the 14 stations of the Way of the Cross at the Colosseum on his first Good Friday as pontiff, marking the first time in decades that a pope carried the cross to every station.“I think it will be an important sign because of what the pope represents, a spiritual leader in the world today, and for this voice, that everyone wants to hear, that says Christ still suffers,” Leo told reporters this week outside of the papal retreat at Castel Gandolfo. “I carry all of this suffering in my prayer.”Inside the Colosseum, Leo lifted the cross and began the rite flanked by two torchbearers, who accompanied him throughout the hour-long procession from inside the Colosseum, through the crowd outside and up steep stairs to the Palatine Hill where he gave the final blessing.At the first station, marking the moment Jesus was condemned to death, the meditation prepared especially for Leo&#039;s first Good Friday underlined that those with authority will have to answer to God for how they exercise their power.&quot;The power to judge; the power to start or end a war; the power to instill violence or peace; the power to fuel the desire for revenge, or for reconciliation,&#039;&#039; read the meditation written by Rev. Francesco Patton, who was custodian of the Holy Land 2016-25, charged, among other things, with looking after sacred sites.Some 30,000 faithful gathered outside the pagan monument, following the stations as they were recited over loud speakers.They included Sister Pelenatita Kieoma Finau from Samoa and a member of the Missionary Sisters of the Society of Mary.&quot;We have been part of our parish stations of the cross, but this is so exciting. It is very meaningful to have the experience of being with the people of Rome on this special occasion,&#039;&#039; she said.Past processionsJohn Paul II carried the cross for the entire procession from his first Good Friday as pontiff in 1979 until his hip surgery in 1995, when he carried it just part of the way, according to AP reports at the time.For the first two years of his papacy, Benedict XVI carried the cross for the first station inside the Colosseum, then followed other bearers in the procession that ends on a platform on the Palatine Hill.Pope Francis never carried the cross, but participated in the procession until his health worsened. He died after a long illness last year on Easter Monday, which fell on April 21.Pope John Paul II was just 58 when he became pope, and was known as a hiker and outdoorsman. His two successors were in their late 70s when they began their papacies, and Francis was missing part of a lung due to a pulmonary infection as a young man.The Way of the Cross commemorates the final hours of Jesus’ life, from his death sentence to taking up the cross to his crucifixion, death and burial. The procession ends outside the Colosseum atop the Palatine Hill.“The Way of the Cross is not intended for those who lead a pristinely pious or abstractly recollected life,” Patton wrote in his introduction. “Instead, it is the exercise of one who knows that faith, hope and charity must be incarnated in the real world.”At 70, Leo is physically fit and an avid tennis player and swimmer. Before becoming pope, Leo would work out regularly at a gym near the Vatican, with a plan befitting a man in his early 50s, according to his former trainer.The pope&#039;s Holy Week activitiesOn Holy Saturday, the pontiff will preside over a late night Easter vigil, during which he will baptize new Catholics, and lead Roman Catholics into Christianity’s most joyous celebration marking Christ’s resurrection.On Easter Sunday, the pope will celebrate an open-air Mass in St. Peter’s Square before delivering his Easter message and offer the traditional “Urbi et Orbi” blessing to the city of Rome and the world. ]]></description>

<title>Trump budget seeks $1.5T in defence spending alongside cuts in domestic programs</title>
<link>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/trump-budget-seeks-15t-in-defense-spending-alongside-cuts-in-domestic-programs</link>
<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/trump-budget-seeks-15t-in-defense-spending-alongside-cuts-in-domestic-programs</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ President Donald Trump has proposed boosting defense spending to $1.5 trillion in his 2027 budget released Friday, the largest such request in decades, reflecting his emphasis on U.S. military investments over domestic programs.The sizable increase for the Pentagon, some 44%, had been telegraphed by the Republican president even before the U.S.-led war against Iran. The president&#039;s plan would also reduce spending on non-defense programs by 10%.&quot;President Trump promised to reinvest in America&#039;s national security infrastructure, to make sure our nation is safe in a dangerous world,&quot; wrote Budget Director Russell Vought.The president&#039;s annual budget is considered a reflection of the administration&#039;s values and does not carry the force of law. The massive document typically highlights an administration&#039;s priorities, but Congress, which handles federal spending issues, is free to reject it and often does.This year&#039;s White House document is intended to provide a road map from the president to Congress as lawmakers build their own budgets and annual appropriations bills to keep the government funded. Vought spoke to House GOP lawmakers on a private call Thursday.Trump, speaking ahead of an address to the nation this week about the Iran war, signaled the military is his priority, setting up a clash ahead in Congress.&quot;We&#039;re fighting wars. We can&#039;t take care of day care,&quot; Trump said at a private White House event Wednesday.&quot;It&#039;s not possible for us to take care of day care, Medicaid, Medicare — all these individual things,&quot; he said. &quot;They can do it on a state basis. You can&#039;t do it on a federal.&quot;Money for immigration enforcement, air traffic controllers and national parksAmong the priorities the White House called for:—Supporting the Trump administration&#039;s immigration enforcement and deportation operations by eliminating aspects of a refugee resettlement aid program, maintaining Immigration and Customs Enforcement funds at current year levels and drawing on last&#039;s year&#039;s increases for the Department of Homeland Security funds to continue opening detention facilities, including 100,000 beds for adults and 30,000 for families.-- A 13% increase in funding for the Department of Justice to focus on violent criminals and the president&#039;s promise to stop what the White House calls migrant crime.-- A $10 billion fund within the National Park Service for &quot;construction and beautification&quot; projects in Washington, D.C.-- A $481 million increase in funding to enhance aviation safety and support an air traffic controller hiring surge.Cuts to green energy, housing and health programs— Cancels more than $15 billion from the Biden-era bipartisan infrastructure law, including funds for renewable energy projects and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, grants.— A 19% cut in the Department of Agriculture, ending certain university grants, a 13% cut for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and about a 12% decrease to the Health and Human Services department, including cuts to a low-income heating assistance program.The White House is touting cuts of what it calls &quot;woke programs&quot; that often direct federal investments toward low-income communities. The budget used the word &quot;woke&quot; 34 timesFor example, the administration is looking to cut Community Services Block Grants, which funds activities such as financial and job counseling and helping people obtain adequate housing. The administration says its cuts would target grants &quot;hijacked by radicals&quot; to promote equity-building and green energy initiatives.The president also seeks to cut $106 million in funding from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, which it says has &quot;pushed radical gender ideology onto children.&quot;Supporters and detractorsThe Republican chairmen of the House and Senate Armed Services committees applauded Trump&#039;s request for defense spending, saying the money would ensure the country&#039;s military remains the most advanced in the world while confronting growing threats from China, Russia, Iran and others.&quot;America is facing the most dangerous global environment since World War II,&quot; said Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., and Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala.The top Democrat on House Budget Committee, Rep. Brendan Boyle of Pennsylvania, said the president was demanding a massive increase in defense while cutting billions from health care, housing and more.&quot;This budget represents &#039;America Last,&#039;&quot; Boyle said.Debt, deficits and tough choices aheadWith the nation running nearly $2 trillion annual deficits and the debt swelling past $39 trillion, the federal balance sheets have long been operating in the red.About two-thirds of the nation&#039;s estimated $7 trillion in annual spending covers the Medicare and Medicaid health care programs, as well as Social Security income, which are essentially growing — along with an aging population — on autopilot.It&#039;s the rest of the annual budget where much of the debate in Congress takes place, as Democrats over the years have ]]></description>

<title>US military aircraft hit in Iran war are first shot down by enemy fire in over 20 years</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Iran shooting down two American military aircraft marks an exceedingly rare assault for the U.S. that has not happened in more than 20 years and shows the Islamic Republic&#039;s continued ability to hit back despite President Donald Trump asserting it has been &quot;completely decimated.&quot;The attacks came five weeks after U.S. and Israeli strikes first pounded Iran, with Trump saying earlier this week that Tehran&#039;s &quot;ability to launch missiles and drones is dramatically curtailed.&quot;Iran shot down a U.S. F15-E Strike Eagle fighter jet Friday, with one service member getting rescued and the search still underway for a second, U.S. officials say. Iranian state media also said a U.S. A-10 attack aircraft crashed after being hit by Iranian defense forces.The last time a U.S. fighter jet was shot down in combat was an A-10 Thunderbolt II during the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, said retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Houston Cantwell, a former F-16 fighter pilot.But, he said, that&#039;s because the U.S. had largely been fighting insurgents who didn&#039;t have the same anti-aircraft capabilities. The fact that there have not been more fighter jets lost in Iran, Cantwell said, is a testament to the capabilities of U.S. forces.&quot;The fact that this hasn&#039;t happened until now is an absolute miracle,&quot; said Cantwell, who served four combat tours and is now a senior resident fellow at the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies. &quot;We&#039;re flying combat missions here, they are being shot at every day.&quot;Shoulder-fired missile likely used, experts sayU.S. Central Command said in a statement Wednesday that American forces have flown more than 13,000 missions in the Iran war while striking more than 12,300 targets.After more than a month of punishing U.S.-Israeli airstrikes, a degraded Iranian military nonetheless remains a stubborn foe. Its steady stream of strikes against Israel and Gulf Arab neighbors have been causing regional upheaval and global economic shock.When it comes to American dominance over Iran&#039;s airspace, there&#039;s still a distinction between air superiority and air supremacy, said Behnam Ben Taleblu, Iran program senior director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a hawkish Washington think tank.&quot;A disabled air defense system is not a destroyed air defense system,&quot; he said. &quot;We shouldn&#039;t be shocked that they&#039;re still fighting.&quot;American planes have been flying missions at lower altitudes, which makes them more vulnerable to Iran&#039;s missiles, Taleblu said. It&#039;s possible that Iran fired at the F-15 with a surface-to-air missile, but it&#039;s more likely that a portable, shoulder-fired missile was used, he said. Those are much harder to detect and reflect how Iran is &quot;weak but still lethal.&quot;&quot;This is a regime that is fighting for its life,&quot; he said.Mark Cancian, a retired Marine colonel and a senior defense adviser with the Center for Strategic and International Studies, agreed that a shoulder-fired missile was likely used against the fighter jet.Nonetheless, the American air war against Iran has been a &quot;tremendous success&quot; so far, he said.To put things in perspective, he said the loss rate for American warplanes flying over Germany during World War II was 3% at one point, which would equal about 350 warplanes in the U.S. war against Iran.&quot;But then there&#039;s the political side — you have a American public that is accustomed to fighting bloodless wars,&quot; Cancian said. &quot;Then a large part of the country doesn&#039;t support the war. So to them, any loss is unacceptable.&quot;Pilots are trained on what to do if their plane is hitThe last U.S. jet shot down in combat was struck by an Iraqi surface-to-air missile over Baghdad on April 8, 2003. The pilot safely ejected and was rescued, according to the Air Force.In high-threat environments like missions over Iran, Cantwell, the retired general, said an aviator&#039;s blood pressure goes up and they become highly alert to incoming missiles. Those are typically either infrared- or radar-guided missiles, he said, requiring different evasive tactics.If they are hit and need to eject from their aircraft, they are trained on what to do next, he said.Pilots learn to check for wounds after a violent ejection and the shock of a missile explosion and, most crucially, how they are going to communicate their location so rescuers can find them.At the same time, he said, the enemy is likely working to intercept the communications or even spoof the location.Helicopters are more at risk than other aircraftThe planes that went down Friday were not the first crewed American aircraft to be lost overall in Iran.A military helicopter and airplane exploded in 1980 during an aborted mission to rescue several dozen American hostages at the U.S. embassy in Tehran, according to the Air Force Historical Support Division.After a series of setbacks, including severe dust storms and mechanical failures, the mission was called off. As the aircraft took off, the rotor blades of one of the RH-53 helicopters collided with an EC-130 aircraft full of f ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ By Marcia DunnFour astronauts embarked on a high-stakes flight around the moon Wednesday, humanity’s first lunar voyage in more than half a century and the thrilling leadoff in NASA’s push toward a landing in two years.Carrying three Americans and one Canadian, the 32-story rocket rose from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center where tens of thousands gathered to witness the dawn of this new era. Crowds also jammed the surrounding roads and beaches, reminiscent of the Apollo moonshots in the 1960s and ’70s. It is NASA’s biggest step yet toward establishing a permanent lunar presence.“On this historic mission, you take with you the heart of this Artemis team, the daring spirit of the American people and our partners across the globe, and the hopes and dreams of a new generation,” launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson told the crew right before liftoff. “Good luck, Godspeed Artemis II. Let’s go.”Artemis II set sail from the same Florida launch site that sent Apollo’s explorers to the moon so long ago. The handful still alive cheered this next generation’s grand adventure as the Space Launch System rocket thundered into the early evening sky, a nearly full moon beckoning some 248,000 miles (400,000 kilometers) away.Five minutes into the flight, Commander Reid Wiseman saw the team’s target: “We have a beautiful moonrise, we’re headed right at it,” he said from the capsule. On board with him are pilot Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Canada&#039;s Jeremy Hansen. It is the most diverse lunar crew ever with the first woman, person of color and non-U. S. citizen riding in NASA’s new Orion capsule.“NASA is back in the business of sending astronauts to the moon,&quot; NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman told reporters following liftoff, calling the half-century hiatus a brief intermission.Tensions high in the hours leading up to launchTensions were high earlier in the day as hydrogen fuel started flowing into the rocket. Dangerous hydrogen leaks erupted during a countdown test earlier this year, forcing a lengthy flight delay.To NASA’s relief, no significant hydrogen leaks occurred. The launch team loaded more than 700,000 gallons of fuel (2.6 million liters) into the 32-story Space Launch System rocket on the pad, a smooth operation that set the stage for the Artemis II crew to board.Then NASA had to overcome a flurry of last-minute technical issues — bad battery sensors and an inability to get commands through to the rocket&#039;s flight termination system. In both cases, the issues were quickly resolved, allowing the launch to proceed.What&#039;s on tap for 10-day test flight?The astronauts will stick close to home for the first 25 hours of their 10-day test flight, checking out the capsule in orbit around Earth before firing the main engine that will propel them to the moon.They won’t pause for a stopover or orbit the moon like Apollo 8’s first lunar visitors did so famously on Christmas Eve 1968, reading from Genesis. But they stand to become the most distant humans ever when their capsule zooms past the moon and continues another 4,000 miles (6,400 kilometers) beyond, before making a U-turn and tearing straight home to a splashdown in the Pacific.Once settled in a high orbit around Earth, the astronauts assumed manual control and practiced steering their capsule around the rocket’s detached upper stage, venturing as close as 33 feet (10 meters). NASA wants to know how Orion handles in case the self-flying feature fails and the pilots need to take control.Crew has an amazing sight in storeDuring Monday&#039;s lunar flyby, the moon will appear to be the size of a basketball held at arm’s length. The astronauts will take turns peering through Orion’s windows with cameras. If the lighting is right, they should see features never before viewed through human eyes. They’ll also catch snippets of a total solar eclipse, donning eclipse glasses as the moon briefly blocks the sun from their perspective and the corona is revealed.All of NASA’s moon plans — a surge in launches over the next several years leading to a sustainable moon base for astronauts assisted by robotic rovers and drones — hinge on Artemis II going well.It’s been more than three years since Artemis I, the only other time NASA’s SLS rocket and Orion capsule have soared. With no one aboard, the Artemis I capsule lacked life-support equipment and other crew essentials like a water dispenser and toilet.These systems are now making their space debut on Artemis II, ratcheting up the risk. That’s why NASA is waiting a full day before committing Wiseman and his crew to a four-day trip to the moon and four-day journey back.The capsule&#039;s toilet is already acting up. Koch informed Mission Control that it shut down seconds after she activated it. Mission Control advised her to to use a handheld bag-and-funnel system for now — CCU, short for Collapsible Contingency Urinal — while engineers pondered how to deal with the so-called lunar loo.“There’s always been a lot riding on this mission,” NASA’s ]]></description>

<title>Oil, gas prices won&amp;apos;t return to normal soon even if the Iran war ends, EU warns</title>

<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/oil-and-gas-prices-wont-immediately-return-to-normal-even-if-the-iran-war-ends-the-eu-warns</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ By Menelaos Hadjicostis Skyrocketing oil and gas prices in Europe as a result of the ongoing Iran war won&#039;t return to normal levels any time soon, even if peace is declared tomorrow, the European Union&#039;s energy commissioner warned Tuesday.Commissioner Dan Jørgensen said although there are no immediate oil and gas supply shortages in the 27-member bloc, there&#039;s pressure on diesel and jet fuel supply as well as “increasing constraints” in global gas markets that are resulting in higher electricity prices.“What I find extremely important is to state as clearly as I can, that even if that peace is here tomorrow, still we will not go back to normal in a foreseeable future,” Jørgensen told a news conference after a meeting of EU energy ministers.He said the EU&#039;s executive arm is preparing a string of measures designed to help families and businesses weather the huge spike in oil prices that have resulted in about a 70% price hike for gas and 60% for oil in Europe. Since the start of the war, the EU’s bill for imported fossil fuels has jumped by 14 billion euros, according to Jørgensen.Closely coordinated action between all EU members is necessary to “avoid fragmented national responses and disruptive signals to the markets,” he said.The “toolbox” of measures now in the works will be unveiled “quite soon” and will include ways to make it easier for states to decouple gas prices from electricity prices, the commissioner said. He added that a tax cut on electricity, as suggested by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is also being weighed.Jørgensen said although he doesn’t foresee a repeat of the 2022 natural gas crisis where companies reaped huge profits from a massive gas price hike, a one-time “windfall tax” on such companies “is a possibility.”There are now “good opportunities” for member states to financially support vulnerable groups or industries now under “extraordinary stress” and that the Commission would make “these possibilities even simpler and wider,” said Jørgensen.Jørgensen also encouraged EU members to consider the International Energy Agency’s 10-point plan which includes work from home, reduced highway speeds, encouraging public transport and increasing car sharing.He said the EU stands by its ban on Russian gas purchases, which is meant to reduce dependence on Russian gas and choke off funding for Russia&#039;s war in Ukraine. Reliance on Russian gas dropped from 45% before the war to 10% now and will be reduced to zero once imports from other suppliers ramp up, especially from the U.S. The EU is looking at new energy sources from Azerbaijan, Algeria and Canada as well as smaller producers around the world.The commissioner warned the EU should never “repeat the mistakes of the past allowing Putin to weaponize energy against us and blackmail member states.” He added that “it would be totally unacceptable” for the EU to continue buying energy that would “indirectly help finance the terrible war that Putin is conducting in Ukraine.” ]]></description>

<title>Afghan authorities say 14 more people die as a result of extreme weather and flooding</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Extensive flooding in many parts of Afghanistan has killed a further 14 people in the past 24 hours, authorities said Tuesday, bringing the total number of deaths over the past five days to 42 with more heavy rain forecast.The Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority said another 66 people in total have been injured over the last five days, as thunderstorms and heavy rain that has affected nearly every province in Afghanistan triggered floods, landslides and lightning strikes. The agency said further heavy rain was forecast across the country over the next three days.The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Afghanistan said on X that their own preliminary field reports showed 19 people had died and more than 900 families had been affected by floods. It said assessments were still ongoing and the figures could change.In January, heavy snowfall and flash floods left dozens of people dead across the country.Afghanistan is highly vulnerable to extreme weather events, with snow and heavy rain that trigger flash floods, often killing dozens, or even hundreds, of people at a time. In 2024, more than 300 people died in springtime flash floods.Decades of conflict, coupled with poor infrastructure, a struggling economy, deforestation and the intensifying effects of climate change have amplified the impact of such disasters, particularly in remote areas where many homes are built of mud and offer limited protection against sudden deluges or heavy snowfall.Over the last 24 hours, 476 homes were partially or completely destroyed by the extreme weather, the national disaster agency said Tuesday, while businesses, agricultural land and irrigation canals were also damaged, affecting 603 families. ]]></description>

<title>Explained: Why India is restricting Chinese CCTV cameras from April 1</title>
<link>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/explained-why-india-is-restricting-chinese-cctv-cameras-from-april-1</link>
<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/explained-why-india-is-restricting-chinese-cctv-cameras-from-april-1</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ India is preparing to bar several major Chinese video-surveillance manufacturers from selling internet-connected Closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras in the country starting April 1, 2026.. The move marks one of the most significant overhauls of India’s surveillance-equipment regulations, aimed at strengthening cybersecurity and reducing dependence on foreign, particularly Chinese technology.What is changing from April 1, 2026?Under the new rules, any connected CCTV device sold in India must comply with stringent certification standards laid out by the Standardization Testing and Quality Certification (STQC) framework. Companies such as Hikvision, Dahua and TP-Link will be directly affected, as they will be barred from selling internet-enabled cameras unless they meet India’s security and certification requirements.The upcoming restrictions stem from the Essential Requirements (ER) issued by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) in April 2024. These requirements mandate disclosure of the country of origin of key components, including chipsets and compulsory testing of devices for vulnerabilities that could enable unauthorised remote access.Manufacturers were given a two-year transition period to adapt, and more than 500 CCTV models have already been certified under the new regime. Government officials have said the policy is intended to tighten oversight of surveillance equipment and ensure adherence to security norms, particularly for systems used in sensitive locations such as public infrastructure and government installations.A major factor behind the regulation is the growing concern about cybersecurity risks associated with imported surveillance devices. Authorities have pointed to the possibility of hidden vulnerabilities, insecure firmware and the risk of remote exploitation, especially in products built on opaque supply chains. Industry executives quoted in the Economic Times report described the move as part of the government’s efforts to enforce stricter security standards for connected devices. Many of the affected Chinese brands rely on Chinese-origin chipsets and the government has been seeking to reduce its dependence on such components.Chinese brands accounted for roughly one-third of all CCTV sales as recently as last year, but this share has declined as domestic manufacturers have gained ground. Indian companies such as CP Plus, Qubo, Prama, Matrix, and Sparsh have expanded aggressively, redesigning their supply chains to rely on non-Chinese components, often Taiwanese chipsets and localising their firmware. According to Counterpoint Research, Indian players now control more than 80% of the CCTV market as of February, while global firms such as Bosch and Honeywell continue to dominate the premium end.This regulatory overhaul comes at a time when India is also confronting the widespread misuse of CCTV infrastructure in disturbing ways. TNM’s ongoing investigation has uncovered a shadow market built on the trade of leaked and illegally obtained intimate images and CCTV recordings. This underground industry operates largely through anonymous channels on platforms such as Telegram, where private visuals, including footage from theatres, hospitals, and other public spaces, are circulated and sold. The TNM series documents how this ecosystem flourishes in a legal grey zone, with devastating consequences for victims whose most private moments are shared without consent.The first part of the investigation exposed a booming trade in theatre CCTV clips, taking reporters through anonymous Telegram groups, fake profiles, and payment networks. Several leaked videos were traced back to three theatres in Kerala. The second part revealed an equally alarming trend. The sale of hospital CCTV footage showing women in hospitals and maternity wards changing clothes, breastfeeding and undergoing vaginal examinations—videos that were leaked and distributed without the knowledge or consent of those filmed.  Exposing CCTV misuse takes time, expertise, and sustained on-ground investigation.
