Trump's impeachment defense team leave 2 weeks before trial

Former US President Donald Trump's five impeachment defense attorneys have left a little more than a week before his trial is set to begin. A dramatic development in the second impeachment trial for Trump, who now struggles to find lawyers willing to take his case. Butch Bowers and Deborah Barbier, who were expected to be two of the lead attorneys, are no longer on the team. Josh Howard, a North Carolina attorney who was recently added to the team, has also left. Johnny Gasser and Greg Harris, from South Carolina, are no longer involved with the case. Trump wanted the attorneys to argue there was mass election fraud and that the election was stolen from him rather than focus on the legality of convicting a president after he's left office.

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;.

Australia's international borders will remain close for at least another three months till mid-June, continuing the country's self-imposed isolation to keep the coronavirus outbreak in control. On Tuesday evening, Health Minister Greg Hunt announced the extension of the "human biosecurity emergency period" which bars travellers from entering Australia and stops citizens from leaving without an exemption. The decision comes after health officials advised the government about the Covid-19 situation overseas, including the emergence of more highly transmissible variants. Previously, Australia closed its international border early in the pandemic and it was scheduled to end on March 17, but has now been extended to June 17.

President Joe Biden said Tuesday that the US expects to take delivery of enough coronavirus vaccines for all adult Americans by the end of May, two months earlier than anticipated. The announcement comes as the White House looks to speed the production of the single-dose Johnson &amp; Johnson vaccine and accelerate the nation's plans to reach "herd immunity". Johnson &amp; Johnson has promised to deliver 100 million doses by the end of June. The Biden administration has told governors to prepare for their supplies of vaccine to continue to climb over the coming weeks. Additional doses are also heading toward a federally backed program to administer doses in more accessible retail pharmacies.

The UK will receive 10 million AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine doses made by the Serum Institute of India (SII), the UK government said in a statement on Tuesday.

The UK will receive 10 million AstraZeneca <a href="https://www.editorji.com/covid-19" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Covid-19 vaccine</a> doses made by the Serum Institute of India (SII), the UK government said in a statement on Tuesday.

The move is likely to stir concerns that wealthy countries are procuring vaccine doses at the expense of poor countries as many are dependent on SII for <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/more-than-1-48-crore-doses-of-covid-vaccine-administered-till-march-2-health-ministry-1614693492966" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vaccine</a>.

In the first Cabinet defeat, US President Joe Biden on Tuesday abandoned his plan for Neera Tanden to be White House budget director. The pullback came after a massive pushback from key senators who made it clear that were not going to vote for Tanden. The centrists on both sides of the political aisle opposed Tanden over several of her previous tweets in which she disparaged lawmakers. "I have accepted Neera Tanden's request to withdraw her name from nomination for Director of the Office of Management and Budget," Biden said in a statement. Neera Tanden would have been the first Indian-American to hold the key post.

Haji Nazir Ahmadzai, a senior adviser to the Afghan president on the Reconciliation of Political Parties and Tribes said that the peace negotiations between the Afghan government and the Taliban are a 'waste of time' as long as the radical movement fails to implement its commitment to reduce violence and implement a ceasefire. In an interview with Sputnik, Ahmadzai&nbsp;responded to why the second round of talks was delayed, saying Kabul's delegation has been in Doha for a long time, but the Taliban has been on foreign trips and have delayed talks. He further said that the escalation of violence&nbsp;by the Taliban is unacceptable to the international community and to the Afghan nation.
