Indian-Americans are taking over the country, US President Joe Biden said on Thursday, referring to the high number of people from the community getting a place in his administration.
In less than 50 days of his presidency, Biden has appointed at least 55 Indian-Americans to key leadership positions in his administration ranging from his speech writer to the NASA, to almost every wing of the government.

Indian-American scientist Swati Mohan leads the guidance, navigation, and control operations of NASA's Mars 2020 mission.
Biden, who was sworn in as the 46th president of the United States on January 20, has created history by appointing at least 55 Indian-Americans to key positions in his administration. This does not include Vice President Kamala Harris, which is an elected position.&nbsp;

The UK&rsquo;s competition regulator on Thursday launched an antitrust investigation into Apple. The Competition and Markets Authority said it would investigate Apple over complaints from software developers about the tech giant&rsquo;s App Store. Apple only lets developers release iPhone and iPad apps through its iOS smartphone platform. The tech giant has a rigorous approval process for iOS apps and has often faced criticism about an up to 30% fee it charges on in-app transactions. UK authorities have said, complaints that Apple is using its market position to set terms which are unfair or may restrict competition and choice &mdash; potentially causing customers to lose out when buying and using apps &mdash; warrant careful scrutiny. Britain&rsquo;s competition probe into Apple follows similar moves by the European Union last year.

A bipartisan group of two powerful American Senators on Wednesday urged the President Joe Biden administration to implement the H-1B visa programme reforms issued by the Donald Trump government in January, under which the visas were to be issued on the criteria of wages and not by a computerised draw of lots. Five weeks later, the Biden administration on February 4, announced a delay in the effective date of the H-1B selection rule from March 9 to December 31, 2021. The Department of Homeland Security has announced going back to the lottery system.
Observing that establishing an equitable distribution of new visas is a key starting point to ensuring that the H-1B visa program is not used to lower wages and displace American workers, the senators said that the annual H-1B visa lottery has been abused for years by outsourcing companies.

Mount Sinabung in Indonesia’s North Sumatra erupted on Tuesday unleashing a torrent of hot ash and volcanic material down its slopes. Officials advised villagers

Mount Sinabung in Indonesia&rsquo;s North Sumatra erupted on Tuesday in its first big eruption&nbsp;since August last year. The eruption&nbsp;threw&nbsp;up a torrent of hot ash and volcanic material. Officials advised villagers to stay at least 5 kilometres away from the craters mouth. No casualties were reported and air travel was not impacted by the ash cloud. One of the more than 120 active volcanoes in the region, the 8,530 feet Sinabung was dormant for centuries before erupting in 2010. It has been sporadically active since then, prone to seismic upheaval due to its location on the Pacific &lsquo;Ring of Fire&rsquo;, a horseshoe-shaped belt in the Pacific Ocean, home to the majority of the earth&rsquo;s volcanoes and earthquakes.

Meghan Markle has been awarded 4,50,000 pounds as a provisional payment towards her legal costs after she won a privacy claim against the Mail On Sunday which had printed extracts of a letter she wrote to her father. Last month, a judge at London's High Court ruled the tabloid had breached her privacy by publishing parts of the letter she wrote to her father, Thomas Markle. Furthermore, after winning the case, Markle in a statement said that the judgment was a victory for all because everyone loses when misinformation sells more than truth and when companies create their business model to profit from &ldquo;people&rsquo;s pain&rdquo;.
