Joe Biden confuses rugby team with ex-UK military unit used against Irish forces

US President Joe Biden found himself in another 'slip of the tongue' moment during his visit to Ireland on April 12 

The White House issued a statement saying it was 'very clear' to Irish rugby fans that Joe Biden was referring to the All Blacks New Zealand team.&nbsp;

US President Joe Biden found himself in another 'slip of the tongue' moment during his visit to Ireland on April 12 when he confused the New Zealand rugby team 'All Blacks' with 'Blacks and Tans', a name given to the group of soldiers who fought against the Irish forces during the war of independence.&nbsp;
The US president was paying a tribute to Irish rugby player Rob Kearney, who was also his fifth cousin.&nbsp;
'He was a hell of a rugby player and he beat the hell out of the Black and Tans,' Biden said instead of naming the New Zealand rugby team All Blacks.&nbsp;

Kamala Harris tweeted that she and her husband "join Jains around the world in celebrating the birth of Mahavir Swami, who taught that all living beings are equal."
The greetings from the US president and the vice president were welcomed by an Indian American community leader.
&ldquo;We members of the Jain community thank President Biden and Vice President Harris for sending greetings on the occasion of Mahavir Jayanti, which no other president has done in the last,&rdquo; said community leader Ajay Jain Bhutoria.
&ldquo;On this day, let us also take a pledge to work towards creating a more peaceful and harmonious world by following the path of Ahimsa, which was the core principle of Lord Mahavir's teachings," he said.

US President Joe Biden bestowed arts and humanities medals on 22 stars in a ceremony at the White House on Tuesday. Bruce Springsteen, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Mindy Kaling, and Gladys Knight were among those who were honoured.
While conferring the National Medal of Arts on rocker Bruce Springsteen, Biden made an observation and said, &lsquo;Bruce, some people are just born to run, man.&rsquo; US President also honoured comedian Julia Louis-Dreyfus, whose show &lsquo;Veep&rsquo; made light of the vice presidency - an office Biden once held.
&lsquo;She embraces life's absurdity with absolute wit, and handles real life turns with absolute grace. A mom, a cancer survivor, a pioneer for women in comedy, she is an American original,&rsquo; said Biden.
Mindy Kaling, who is best known for her role in the long-running television show, &lsquo;The Office,&rsquo; set in Biden's hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, received a medal as well.
Singer Gladys Knight was an honoree along with clothing designer Vera Wang, historian Walter Isaacson and authors Amy Tan, Ann Patchett and Tara Westover, among others.

The recommendation comes at a time when highly skilled foreign-born workers face long waits for their immigrant visas to be processed

A US presidential advisory commission has discussed the possibility of issuing work permits and travel documents to those who have been waiting for a green card for over 5 years under certain visa categories.&nbsp;
The recommendation comes at a time when highly skilled foreign-born workers face long waits for their immigrant visas to be processed during which they may lose out on job opportunities or be forced to leave the country because their prior non-immigrant visas have expired.
The committee noted that such a move would benefit the US by ensuring that the country can continue to attract and retain global talent in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and by improving the lives of many foreign-born scientists, engineers, and physicians.

US gun violence: Biden signs executive order to strengthen rules

The executive order aims to increase background checks to buy guns, and promote more secure firearms storage.

Amid frequent incidents of gun violence in America, US President Joe Biden signed an executive order on 14 March 2023 in a fresh bid to curb mass shootings.
The executive order aims to increase background checks to buy guns, and promote more secure firearms storage. It also seeks to ensure US law enforcement agencies get more out of a bipartisan gun control law enacted in 2022.
Later, while meeting families of some victims of gun violence in Los Angeles, Biden said that he is "determined to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines".

US President Joe Biden reassures banking system; says 'safe' despite contagion fears 

In an effort to provide a reassurance, U.S President Joe Biden assured people that the American banking system is safe. This amid rising fears of contagion worries post the Silicon Valley Bank collapse.&nbsp;

President Joe Biden sought to reassure Americans over the country's financial system Monday as more US banks and leading European lenders were hammered amid contagion worries.
Silicon Valley Bank -- a key lender to startups across the United States since the 1980s -- collapsed after a sudden run on deposits, prompting regulators to seize control Friday.
On Sunday night, US federal authorities stepped in to protect all depositors at SVB, and regulators took over a second troubled lender.
"Americans can have confidence that the banking system is safe," Biden said in a brief White House address. "Your deposits will be there when you need them."
But there were immediate signs of pressure at additional US lenders.
San Francisco-based First Republic Bank shares plunged around 62 percent, while Ohio-headquartered KeyCorp lost 27 percent and Zion Bancorporation lost 26 percent.

Joe Biden likely to announce Australia submarine deal in San Diego

Joe Biden, Rishi Sunak, Albanese to meet in San Diego; announcement of Australia submarine deal likely

Australia is purchasing up to five Virginia-class boats as part of AUKUS, according to two people familiar with the arrangement who spoke on the condition of anonymity to preview the plans.

President Joe Biden is set to meet with two of America's closest allies to announce that Australia will purchase US-manufactured, nuclear-powered attack submarines to modernise its fleet, amid growing concerns about China's influence in the Indo-Pacific region.
Biden is travelling on Monday to San Diego, where he will meet Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak for talks on the 18-month-old nuclear partnership known by the acronym AUKUS.
The partnership, announced in 2021, paved the way for Australia's access to nuclear-powered submarines, which are stealthier and more capable than conventionally powered boats, as a counterweight to China's military buildup.
San Diego is Biden's first stop on a three-day trip to California and Nevada. He will discuss gun violence prevention in the community of Monterey Park, California, and his plans to lower prescription drug costs in Las Vegas.

US Senate panel votes in favour of Biden's choice for India envoy

A key senatorial committee on Wednesday voted 13-8 to advance the nomination of Eric Garcetti as US Ambassador to India.

Garcetti, 52, is the former mayor of Los Angeles and his nomination has been pending before the US Congress since July 2021

A key senatorial committee on Wednesday voted 13-8 to advance the nomination of Eric Garcetti as US Ambassador to India.
Garcetti, 52, is the former mayor of Los Angeles and his nomination has been pending before the US Congress since July 2021, when he was nominated for this prestigious diplomatic posting by President Joe Biden.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee at its business meeting on Wednesday voted 13-8 in favor of the nomination of Garcetti. Now the nomination heads to the Senate floor for a fill vote.
Two Republican Senators -- Todd Young and Bill Hagerty -- Wednesday afternoon voted in favour of Garcetti, joining the Democratic lawmakers and passing the nomination through the Senatorial committee.
Garcetti wasn't confirmed in Biden's first two years in office amid concerns by some lawmakers that as the then-mayor he hadn't adequately handled allegations against a former senior adviser of sexual assault and harassment. Senator Chuck Grassley this week called for voting against him.
GOP Senator Young defended his decision to vote in favour of Garcetti.
"It's in our national security interest to have an ambassador immediately in place in India in order to balance China, work with the US throughout the Indo-Pacific...He has an imperfect resume, but the skills to succeed in this capacity," Young said.
"We must ensure that any chief of mission will, without question, protect our foreign service officers and embassy staff from all types of harassment," said Senator Jim Risch, Ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
The White House continues to have full confidence in Garcetti. Last week it told reporters that Garcetti is qualified to serve as the US ambassador to India.
"Eric Garcetti was voted out in a bipartisan way out of (the Senate Foreign Relations Committee). So clearly, he has had bipartisan support, which is very important in this process. We encourage and look forward to the Senate moving forward with his nomination on the floor," White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters here last week.

US President had cancerous skin lesion removed in February: White House

&nbsp;A skin lesion removed from US President Joe Biden's chest last month was a basal cell carcinoma -- a common form of skin cancer -- his doctor said on Friday, adding that no further treatment was required.

US President Joe Biden had a cancerous skin lesion successfully removed from his chest in February, AFP reported.&nbsp;
The lesion which do not tend to 'spread' was detected during a routine medical examination, Biden's physician, Kevin O'Connor, said in a report made public by the White House adding that "no further treatment is required."
It was removed during Biden's annual medical checkup on February 16, after which the president was declared "fit for duty."
"The site of the biopsy has healed nicely and the president will continue dermatologic surveillance as part of his ongoing comprehensive healthcare," O'Connor said in the Friday report.

US govt still non-committal on origin of Covid-19 pandemic after Energy Dept says lab leak most likely

A senior official of the Joe Biden administration said that the intelligence community and the rest of the government is still looking at the issue.

The American government on 27 February 2023 refused to take a definite stance on the origin of the Covid-19 pandemic, days after a report by the US Department of Energy said that a laboratory leak of the virus was the most likely cause.
A senior official of the Joe Biden administration said that the intelligence community and the rest of the government is still looking at the issue.
National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby said, "There's not been a definitive conclusion, so it's difficult for me to say, nor should I feel like I should have to defend press reporting about a possible preliminary indication here."
"What the President wants is facts. He wants the whole government designed to go get those facts, and that's what we're doing. And we're just not there yet. And when we're there yet and if we have something that is ready to be briefed to the American people and the Congress, then we're going to do that," he said.
Kirby said that President Joe Biden made trying to find the origins of COVID a priority right when he came into the office. And he&rsquo;s got a whole-of-government effort designed to do that, he said.

The Biden administration has proposed to deny asylum to migrants who show up at the US southern border without first seeking protection in a country they passed through. 

Biden administration proposes Trump-like immigration policy

The Biden administration has proposed to deny asylum to migrants who show up at the US southern border without first seeking protection in a country they passed through

The Biden administration has proposed to deny asylum to migrants who show up at the US southern border without first seeking protection in a country they passed through.&nbsp;

The Biden administration said Tuesday that it will generally deny asylum to migrants who show up at the US southern border without first seeking protection in a country they passed through, mirroring an attempt by the Trump administration that never took effect because it was blocked in court.
The measure, while stopping short of a total ban, imposes severe limitations on asylum for any nationality except Mexicans, who don't have to travel through a third country to reach the U.S.
The measure is almost certain to face legal challenges. President Donald Trump pursued a similar ban in 2019 but a federal appeals court prevented it from taking effect.
The Biden administration rule proposed Tuesday has to first go through a 30-day public comment period before it can be formally adopted. If adopted it would remain in place for two years.
Administration officials expect the rule will take effect when a pandemic-era rule that denies asylum on grounds of preventing the spread of COVID-19 ends. That rule, known as Title 42 authority, is set to expire May 11 but has been delayed twice by legal challenges from Republican-led states.
The Homeland Security and Justice Departments argued that surging numbers of migrants left them little choice. They anticipate illegal crossings to climb to between 11,000 and 13,000 a day if no action is taken after Title 42 ends; that's even higher than the 8,600 daily crossings in mid-December as anticipation spread among migrants and smugglers that Title 42 was about to end. At the last minute the Supreme Court kept it in place.
The proposed rule establishes &ldquo;a rebuttable presumption of asylum ineligibility&rdquo; for anyone who passes through another country to reach the U.S. border with Mexico without first seeking protection there, according to a notice in the Federal Register. Exceptions will be made for people with an &ldquo;acute medical emergency,&rdquo; &ldquo;imminent and extreme threat&rdquo; of violent crimes such as murder, rape or kidnapping, being a victim of human trafficking or &ldquo;other extremely compelling circumstances.&rdquo; Children travelling alone will also be exempted, according to the rule.
The rule largely calls on prospective migrants to follow legal pathways to apply for asylum such as using the CBP One app, through which prospective migrants can schedule an appointment to apply to appear at a border entry point to apply for asylum. The administration portrayed these efforts as a way to protect migrants from the dangerous journeys as they travel north to the U.S. and allow the U.S. border entry points to manage the migrant flows in a &ldquo;safe and efficient manner.&rdquo; But critics have said the app has been beset by technical problems and its not clear how many appointments are available every day.
U.S. officials insist the measure proposed Tuesday is different from Trump's, largely because there is room for exemptions and because the Biden administration has made other legal pathways available, particularly humanitarian parole for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans and Ukrainians.

"A dictator bent on rebuilding an empire will never be able to ease the people's love of liberty, brutality will never grind down the will of the free," Biden said in Warsaw.

Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia - never: Biden

US President Joe Biden on Tuesday said Ukraine would "never be a victory for Russia" as he delivered a speech in Poland ahead of the first anniversary of Moscow's invasion.

"A dictator bent on rebuilding an empire will never be able to ease the people's love of liberty, brutality will never grind down the will of the free," Biden said in Warsaw.

US President Joe Biden on Tuesday said Ukraine would "never be a victory for Russia" as he delivered a speech in Poland ahead of the first anniversary of Moscow's invasion.
"A dictator bent on rebuilding an empire will never be able to ease the people's love of liberty, brutality will never grind down the will of the free," he said in Warsaw.
"Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia -- never," Biden told the crowd of several thousand people gathered outside the Royal Castle.
Speaking a day after his surprise trip to the Ukrainian capital, Biden said: "Kyiv stands strong, Kyiv stands proud, it stands tall and most importantly it stands free".
Biden also responded to an anti-West speech made by Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier Tuesday.
"The West is not plotting to attack Russia as Putin said today," Biden said.
"Millions of Russian citizens who only want to live in peace with their neighbours are not the enemy."
Biden stressed the West's continued support for Ukraine.
Putin "thought autocrats like himself were tough and leaders of democracy were soft and then he met the iron will of America and nations everywhere that refused to accept a world governed by fear," he said.
"There should be no doubt: our support for Ukraine will not waver, NATO will not be divided and we will not tire."
The official visit to Poland is Biden's second in the past 12 months.
On Wednesday, he will meet in Warsaw with the leaders of nine countries on NATO's eastern flank.

His speech comes three days before the first anniversary of Russia's 'special military operation' in Ukraine&nbsp;

One day after US President Joe Biden visited Ukraine, Russia's Vladimir Putin in his address to the nation accused the West of 'escalating the situation in Ukraine'. His speech comes three days before the first anniversary of Russia's 'special military operation' in Ukraine where he said, 'The responsibility for fuelling the Ukrainian conflict, for its escalation, for the number of victims... lies completely with Western elites.'
Addressing an audience of lawmakers, state officials and soldiers who have fought in Ukraine, he said, 'Officers of nationalist battalions have been trained in Western academies and schools, they (Western countries) have supplied weapons. I want to stress that Kyiv held talks with the West about the delivery of air defence systems, combat aircraft and other heavy equipment before the start of the special military operation.'&nbsp;
He accused the West of trying to turn a local conflict into a global conflict and asserted that Russia's invasion was appropriate.&nbsp;
"We remember attempts of the Kyiv regime to get (a) nuclear weapon, they spoke about it publicly. The United States and NATO have rapidly deployed their army bases near the borders of our country," Putin added.

Biden in Kyiv: US announces further military assistance for Ukraine

President Joe Biden made an unannounced visit to Ukraine on Monday to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a gesture of solidarity that comes days before the one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of the country.
In Kyiv, Biden announced an additional half-billion dollars in U.S. assistance, including shells for howitzers, anti-tank missiles, air surveillance radars and other aid but no new advanced weaponry.
Zelenskyy said he and Biden spoke about &ldquo;long range weapons and the weapons that may still be supplied to Ukraine even though it wasn't supplied before.&rdquo; But he did not detail any new commitments.
Biden's mission with his visit to Kyiv, which comes ahead of a scheduled trip to Warsaw, Poland, is to underscore that the United States is prepared to stick with Ukraine &ldquo;as long as it takes&rdquo; to repel Russian forces even as public opinion polling suggests that U.S. and allied support for providing weaponry and direct economic assistance has started to soften.

For Zelenskyy, the symbolism of having the U.S. president stand side by side with him on Ukrainian land as the anniversary nears is no small thing as he prods the U.S. and European allies to provide more advanced weaponry and to step up the pace of delivery.
&ldquo;I thought it was critical that there not be any doubt, none whatsoever, about U.S. support for Ukraine in the war,&rdquo; Biden said.
Biden's visit marked an act of defiance against Russian President Vladimir Putin, who had hoped his military would swiftly overrun Kyiv within days.
