Former US President Joe Biden
Joe Biden diagnosed with 'aggressive' prostate cancer
WASHINGTON — Former US President Joe Biden, 82, has been diagnosed with prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, a statement from his office said on Sunday.Biden, who left office in January, was diagnosed on Friday after he saw a doctor last week for urinary symptoms.The cancer is a more aggressive form of the disease, characterised by a Gleason score of 9 out of 10. This means his illness is classified as "high-grade" and the cancer cells could spread quickly, according to Cancer Research UK.Biden and his family are said to be reviewing treatment options.

The US Supreme Court
US Supreme Court hears arguments on Trump's order to end birthright citizenship
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump's push to end birthright citizenship is set to be argued at the US Supreme Court, in a case that could help further his agenda on immigration and other issues.The court will hear arguments on Thursday about whether lower court judges can block presidential orders for the entire country.Trump moved to end birthright citizenship within hours of returning to the White House in January, signing an order that said children who are born in the US to undocumented immigrants are not citizens.Three federal judges stopped it from taking effect, part of a pattern of courts blocking Trump's executive orders. Trump contends they did not have the power to issue the nationwide injunctions.If the Supreme Court agrees with Trump, then he could continue his wide use of...

Mark Carney says Canadians are not 'impressed' by UK's invite to Trump
WASHINGTON — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said Canadians were not "impressed" by the UK government's invitation to US President Donald Trump for a second state visit.The newly elected Carney told Sky News that the UK's invitation earlier this year did not help Canadians, who were facing repeat comments from Trump about making Canada the 51st US state."To be frank, [Canadians] weren't impressed by that gesture... given the circumstance," he said. "It was at a time when we were being quite clear about the issues around sovereignty."Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer invited Trump to come to the UK for a visit during a meeting at the White House in February.Asked whether the invitation was "appropriate", Carney said that was a...

Dozens of white South Africans arrive in US under Trump refugee plan
WASHINGTON — A group of 59 white South Africans has arrived in the US, where they are to be granted refugee status.President Donald Trump has said the refugee applications for the country's Afrikaner minority had been expedited as they were victims of "racial discrimination".The South African government said the group were not suffering any such persecution that would merit refugee status.The Trump administration has halted all other refugee admissions, including for applicants from warzones. Human Rights Watch described the move as a cruel racial twist, saying that thousands of people — many black and Afghan refugees — had been denied refuge in the US.The group of white South Africans, who landed at Dulles airport near Washington DC on Monday, received a warm welcome...
