      US Senate confirms Eric Garcetti as Ambassador to India

       Newly appointed US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti. Washington: Eric Garcetti, President Joe Biden’s close aide, will be the next US Ambassador to India after the Senate confirmed his nomination, ending a protracted hiatus of over two years to fill the key diplomatic position. The Senate voted 52-42 to confirm the former Los Angeles mayor’s nomination on Wednesday. Garcetti, 52, lost the votes of three Democrats but convinced seven Republicans to cross the aisle, winning him the job. His nomination had been pending before the US Congress since July 2021 when he was nominated for the prestigious diplomatic posting by Biden. Last week, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted 13-8 in favour of his nomination. “The relationship between India and the…

      Google’s Project Zero head Tim Willis said in a blog post that four most severe of these vulnerabilities “allowed for Internet-to-baseband remote code execution”. New Delhi: Google security teams have discovered 18 zero-day vulnerabilities in Samsung Exynos chips used in several top Android smartphones and wearables that may put those devices at risk. Google’s Project Zero head Tim Willis said in a blog post that four most severe of these vulnerabilities “allowed for Internet-to-baseband remote code execution”. Tests conducted by Project Zero confirmed that those four vulnerabilities allow an attacker to remotely compromise a phone at the baseband level with no user interaction, and require only that the attacker know the victim’s phone number. With limited additional research and development, “we believe that skilled…

      Over 20,000 earthquakes hit New Zealand every year; know why country is prone to jolts?

      The Kermadec Islands region, which is located north of New Zealand, experienced an earthquake on Thursday with a magnitude of 7.1, according to a USGS statement. At a depth of 10 kilometres, the disaster occurred. Coastal areas within 300 kilometres of the epicentre may see dangerous tsunami waves, the agency warns in a separate statement.

      President Macron uses special power to enact pension bill without vote

      France’s government on Thursday invoked a special constitutional power to enact a contentious pension bill without a vote in parliament, in a risky move by President Emmanuel Macron. The decision was made just a few minutes before the vote was scheduled because the government had no guarantee that the bill would command a majority at the National Assembly, France’s lower house of parliament. The bill will raise the retirement age from 62 to 64, and is the flagship legislation of Macron’s second term. The unpopular plan has prompted major strikes and protests across the country since January. The move is expected to trigger a quick no-confidence motion in Macron’s government. The Senate adopted the legislation to raise the retirement age…

      NHS strikes suspended after new pay offer

      Unions have suspended further strikes by ambulance and other NHS staff and will recommend acceptance of a new pay offer to NHS workers. The breakthrough follows days of talks with the Government over the long-running dispute over pay which has led to a series of walkouts by nurses, ambulance crews, paramedics, hospital porters and other health workers in recent months. Ambulance members of Unison and Unite were due to strike next Monday and physiotherapists were going to walkout later this month but the action has been called off. Unison said the offer to NHS workers in England includes an additional one-off lump sum for 2022-23 that rises in value up the NHS pay bands. This is worth £1,655 for staff at the bottom of band two (for example…

      Russia accused of destroying 400 apartment blocks in Mariupol to hide war crimes

      Russian forces have destroyed hundreds of apartment blocks throughout occupied Mariupol in order to hide their war crimes according to the city’s Ukranian mayor.  “For two months… they destroyed every second high-rise building,” Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko said during an interview with Ukrainform. Before the invasion of Ukraine, and Mariupol’s brutal months-long siege at the hands of Russian forces, the city had 1800 apartment complexes according to Boychenko.  Boychenko noted that Russia claimed 934 of Mariupol’s former apartment complexes were destroyed and he asserted that the remains of those buildings were being cleaned up in order to hide evidence of Russia’s war crimes in the city.  “They have already removed 400 such buildings,” Boychenko told Ukrainform, adding that the Russians…
