India scraps order to pre-install state-run cyber safety app on smartphones
NEW DELHI — India has scrapped an order making it mandatory for smartphone makers to preload a state-run cyber safety app on new phones after a public furore.The order gave smartphone makers 90 days to pre-load new phones with its new Sanchar Saathi app which could not be "disabled or restricted", sparking privacy and surveillance concerns.The government argued the move was necessary to verify the authenticity of handsets, but cybersecurity experts said it impinged on citizens' right to privacy.Withdrawing the order on Wednesday, the government cited the app's "increasing acceptance". It came after Apple and Samsung had reportedly resisted the directive to pre-install it on their devices.So far 14 million users have downloaded the app, reporting 2,000 frauds daily, and on...

WASHINGTON — The US has halted the processing of all immigration applications linked to 19 countries already subject to a travel ban, according to an internal official memo seen by CBS News.Immigration agents have been told to "stop final adjudication on all cases", and pause naturalisation ceremonies for migrants on the cusp of gaining citizenship.It comes amid reports that Donald Trump is considering expanding a June order restricting travel from 19 countries to 30.It is the latest tightening of immigration rules after last week's shooting in Washington DC, which left one National Guard soldier dead and another in a critical condition.The suspect is an Afghan national living in the US.On 4 June, the White House identified 19 countries - predominantly in Africa, the Middle East and...

Search for long-missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 to resume
KULA LUMPUR — The search for the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 will resume on 30 December, over a decade after the aircraft with 239 people on board vanished, Malaysian authorities have said.This fresh search, which will run for 55 days, had begun in March but was suspended shortly after because of poor weather conditions."The latest development underscores the [Malaysia's] commitment to providing closure to the families affected by this tragedy," the transport ministry said Wednesday, according to local media.Flight MH370, a Boeing 777, disappeared in 2014 while travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing and sparked the largest search in aviation history.Exploration firm Ocean Infinity is leading the current search under a "no find, no fee" arrangement.

Some hospitals in Delhi now have clinics to treat pollution-related illnesses
Delhi records 200,000 acute respiratory illness cases amid toxic air
NEW DELHI — More than 200,000 cases of acute respiratory illnesses were recorded in six state-run hospitals in Delhi between 2022 and 2024 as the Indian capital struggled with rising pollution levels, the federal government has said.The government said in parliament that more than 30,000 people with respiratory illnesses had to be hospitalised in these three years.Toxic air is a recurring problem in Delhi and its suburbs, especially during winters.For weeks now, Delhi's Air Quality Index (AQI) — which measures different types of pollutants, including PM2.5, a fine particulate matter that can clog lungs — has been more than 20 times the limit recommended by the World Health Organization.There isn't a single cause behind the problem, but it's attributed to a mix of...

Trump says he doesn't want Somalis in US as ICE plans Minnesota operation
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has said he does not want Somali immigrants in the US, telling reporters they should "go back to where they came from" and "their country is no good for a reason"."I don't want them in our country, I'll be honest with you," he said during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday. Trump said the US would "go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country".His disparaging comments came as immigration authorities were reported to be planning an enforcement operation in Minnesota's large Somali community.Officials in the state have condemned the plan, arguing it could unfairly sweep up American citizens who may appear to be from the East African nation.Minneapolis and St Paul, which together are known as the Twin Cities, are home to one...

Russian President Vladimir Putin
If Europe wants to start a war we are ready now, Russia's Putin says
MOSCOW — If Europe wants to wage war, then Moscow is “ready now," Russia’s President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday.Speaking at an investment forum in Moscow, Putin blamed the Europeans for not having a “peaceful agenda" and said Europe is “on the side of war”, referring to Western support of Ukraine.“If Europe decides to go to war with Russia and actually starts a war, a situation could very quickly come where Moscow simply has no one to negotiate with,” the Russian president added.European governments "live under illusions" of imposing a strategic defeat on Russia, according to Putin.Putin also said that the European demands regarding putting an end to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine are “not acceptable” to Moscow.Putin reiterated the Kremlin’s position...

Volunteers have been taking fishing boats out to rescue flood victims and deliver aid
Cyclone catastrophe in Sri Lanka awakens volunteer spirit
COLOMBO — Sri Lankan actor and musician GK Reginold rides a motorised fishing boat through Colombo's suburbs, hoping to bring food and water to those in desperate need.Some of the families, Reginold says, have not received aid for days, isolated by the South Asian island nation's worst weather disaster in recent years.Cyclone Ditwah lashed the country last week, bringing catastrophic floods and landslides that killed more than 460 people, left hundreds missing and damaged some 30,000 homes.But the deluge has also inspired volunteerism among its people, as they face what their president has described as the "most challenging natural disaster" in its history."The main reason why I wanted to do this, is to at least help them to have one meal," Reginold tells the BBC. "And I was so...
