The US government has quietly changed the tone on its official Covid-19 website. What was earlier a hub for vaccine updates and test info now paints a very different picture. It’s now backing the controversial theory that the coronavirus leaked from a lab in China. The website, Covid.gov, now opens with a full-size photo of former President Donald Trump, and criticises the way President Joe Biden and his team handled the pandemic. The site’s new content suggests the real origin of Covid-19 lies in a lab in Wuhan, China, not in nature as previously claimed. Dr Anthony Fauci, who served…

In a significant boost to India’s high-speed rail ambitions, Japan has announced the donation of two Shinkansen train sets—the E5 and E3 series—to aid in the testing and inspection of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train corridor.

All foreign nationals staying in the US must register their address or update it every time they move. If not, they could face deportation. What’s the rule? This rule is not new. It exists under the Alien Registration Act of 1940. But now, it is being taken more seriously. The rule says that all non-US citizens must: Register with the US immigration system…

A Game-Changing Travel Dream A revolutionary transport proposal could soon shrink the travel time between Mumbai and Dubai to just two hours. This ambitious idea involves building a 2,000-kilometre high-speed underwater rail corridor between India and the UAE.

Why It’s More Than Just a Train This underwater corridor is not limited to passengers. It’s being planned as a dual-purpose system — transporting goods like crude oil and even…

This move could elevate total U.S. tariffs on Chinese products to a staggering 104%. China’s response was swift and resolute.

They emphasized China’s determination to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests, asserting that pressure tactics are inappropriate. The tit-for-tat measures have sent shockwaves through global markets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped…
