      Modi can become first Indian PM to address US Congress twice

       Prime Minister Narendra Modi Washington: US Congress leaders have invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to address a joint meeting of lawmakers during his upcoming state visit in June, setting him up to become the first Indian leader to this rare honor Washington D.C. affords to foreign leaders.

      China drilling hole over 11,000m deep into the desert

      China is drilling a hole in the desert more than 11,000m deep in order to study areas deep beneath the planet’s surface. The operation – reported in state media – started on Tuesday and is located in the Xinjiang region in northwest China. The drilling process will go deep into the Earth, penetrating more than 10 continental strata. With a planned depth of 11,100 metres, the borehole is certainly no shallow effort but falls short of the deepest ever man-made hole. The current record has been held since 1979 by the Kola Superdeep Borehole, a Soviet project located near the Russian border with Norway, with a depth of 12,262m (40,230ft). “The construction difficulty of the drilling project can be compared to…

      US ‘can breathe sigh of relief’ after Senate votes through debt crisis deal

      The US Senate has voted through a crucial deal to raise the country’s debt ceiling with just days to spare. Senators followed the House of Representatives in passing the agreement, which will be sent to Joe Biden to be signed into law before Monday’s deadline. Had the cut-off date been missed, it could have led to the potentially catastrophic scenario where the world’s most powerful economy defaulted on its national debts. Thursday night’s vote, which ended 63-36 in favour, came after months of bickering between Democrats and Republicans over the state of America’s finances. The Treasury had warned it would be unable to pay all of its bills on 5 June if Congress failed to act by then, with the debt ceiling standing at…

      New charts show deportations soar as Home Office scrambles to tackle illegal immigration

      More people migrated to the UK last year than ever before – numbers breaching 500,000 for the first time – despite control of the country’s borders tightening under Home Secretary Suella Braverman‘s “ultimate aspiration” to bring the figure below 100,000. The vast majority of these arrivals do so lawfully and have a right to remain. For those who do not, the Home Office seeks to return them to where they came from – and the UK is doing so at a rapidly increasing rate. New Home Office data shows that returns came in at just under 40,000 in 2022. This tally may be far below the 60,000 of a decade ago, but marks a sharp uptick from the declining trend since 2015 and a…

      Japanese airline launches all-you-can-fly pass for just £230

      A Japanese airline is launching unlimited all-you-can-fly passes for just 40,000 Japanese yen (roughly £230). Domestic carrier Starflyer is offering the month-long pass, which is valid for flights between Tokyo and the city of Kitakyushu, roughly 600 miles southwest where the airline is based, to travellers aged under 26 years old.
