‘Morally repugnant’: US Cardinal hits out at Trump’s immigration policy
ROME — A prominent Catholic Church leader and ally of Pope Leo XIV has strongly criticized the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, describing the rounding up and deportation of immigrants as “inhumane” and “morally repugnant.” In a wide-ranging interview with CNN, Cardinal Robert McElroy, the Archbishop of Washington, DC, also voiced strong opposition to Trump’s major tax and spending bill, warned of the risks of US and Israeli strikes on Iran, and discussed his view of the role of women in the church. “It’s right to be able to control our borders. However, what’s going on now is something far beyond that,” the cardinal told CNN on Tuesday. “It is a mass, indiscriminate deportation of men and women and children and families which literally rips...

US Supreme Court allows Trump to deport migrants held in Djibouti to South Sudan
WASHINGTON — The US Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for the Trump administration to deport to South Sudan a group of migrants who have been held for weeks on a military base in Djibouti.The high court’s unsigned order came days after a majority of justices allowed the administration to deport certain migrants to countries other than their homeland with little notice. But that June 23 decision kicked off a legal skirmish about the specific group of migrants being held in Djibouti.A lower court had put their removal back on hold, prompting the Trump administration to race up to the Supreme Court. The court’s decision Thursday sided with the administration, over the dissent of two liberal justices, and allowed officials to remove the migrants at issue to South Sudan.The...

Two arrested over ‘Chinese blessing scams’ targeting elderly Asian women in Australia
BRISBANE — Two alleged fraudsters accused of swindling an elderly woman out of tens of thousands of dollars in cash have been arrested by Australian police investigating a spate of “Chinese blessing scams.”Chinese blessing scams have been reported worldwide for the last 25 years or so, including in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand.Offenders typically target elderly Asian women and convince them that a member of their family is cursed or in danger. Victims are told the only way to ward off negative spirits is to have their wealth blessed.“It’s a robbery by stealth. These offenders swarm these vulnerable victims, usually Asian, older females. They swarm like a pack of hyenas,” said New South Wales Police Detective Superintendent Guy Magee.A...

France and Switzerland have to shut down their nuclear reactors due to the heat
France and Switzerland shut down nuclear power plants amid scorching heatwave
BRUSSELS — Due to a scorching heatwave which has spread across Europe in recent days, a number of nuclear power plants in Switzerland and France have been forced to either reduce activity or shut down completely as extreme temperatures have prevented sites from relying on water from local rivers.To cool down, nuclear power plants pump water from local rivers or the sea, which they then release back into water bodies at a higher temperature.However, Europe's ongoing heatwave means that the water pumped by nuclear sites is already very hot, impacting the ability of nuclear plants to use it to cool down. On top of this, nuclear sites run the risk of posing a dangerous threat to local biodiversity, by releasing water which is too hot into rivers and seas.In light of the heat, Axpo -...

Indian state defends Zumba lessons for students amid protests
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM — The southern Indian state of Kerala has defended its decision to introduce Zumba classes in public schools, after the move sparked protests from religious groups earlier this week.Some 14,000 state-run schools in Kerala have been asked to organise daily Zumba sessions as part of an anti-drug campaign launched by the government last month.The decision has been bitterly opposed by some Hindu and Muslim organizations in the state, who say the dance is a form of "cultural invasion".They are urging parents and teachers to boycott the program, saying it goes against their religious beliefs and moral values. While the protests have died down, the groups are continuing to oppose the policy.The Kerala government however has said it will not roll back the program,...

Trump's budget bill stalls in late-night session in US House
WASHINGTON — The US House of Representatives is working in the middle of the night as Donald Trump and his allies try to pressurise holdouts in the president's own Republican Party into backing his mega-bill on tax and spending.The sprawling legislation, which could define Trump's second term in office, is nearing its final vote. But it is first undergoing a procedural vote that was called late on Wednesday evening.Trump's bill has been opposed not only by opposition Democrats, but by a handful of Republicans who criticize its potential on the US deficit, healthcare and other issues.The bill ground through the US Senate earlier this week in another late-night session. Trump hopes it will pass by Friday.The House, or lower chamber, approved an earlier version of the bill in...
