Ahead of PM Modi's trip, US lawmakers raise lengthy visa wait time for Indians

Senator Bob Menendez and Congressman Michael Waltz asked the Biden government why visa wait-time for Indians is the longest globally.

Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the US, top American lawmakers have asked the Joe Biden government to address the lengthy visa wait times being faced by Indians.
Senator Bob Menendez, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, asked the Biden administration why India continues to face the longest wait time globally, which can range from 450 to 600 days.
Congressman Michael Waltz, Co-Chair of the House India Caucus, called Washington's ties with Delhi "one of the most consequential economic diplomatic security relationships" that the US has in the 21st century.
He added that despite this, one of the most consistent and painful complaints he receives regarding India is about the visa wait time.

The airline said that the passengers were getting "maximum on-ground assistance" in San Francisco.

The worse-than-expected figures come as inflation and higher interest rates have curbed demand in Europe's largest economy

Eurozone entered a recession at the beginning of 2023 

The worse-than-expected figures come as inflation and higher interest rates have curbed demand in Europe's largest economy

The eurozone entered into a technical recession at the start of the year, shrinking by 0.1 percent for a second consecutive quarter, figures from the EU's statistic agency showed Thursday.
Eurostat revised down an earlier forecast that had predicted slight growth after economic powerhouse Germany said last month it had fallen into recession.
The worse-than-expected figures come as inflation and higher interest rates have curbed demand in Europe's largest economy.
Eurostat cut its earlier estimate of 0 per cent growth in the final quarter of 2022 and 0.1 percent growth in the first quarter of 2023 to 0.1 percent contractions in both periods.
Two consecutive quarters of shrinking gross domestic product is the threshold for a technical recession.
The bad news comes after a painful year for European economies as surging energy prices sparked by Russia's war on Ukraine sent inflation spiralling.
The European Central Bank has responded by hiking its key rates by 3.75 percentage points since embarking on an unprecedented campaign of monetary tightening in July last year.
The latest figures cast doubt over more optimistic predictions for the whole of 2023.
The European Commission forecast in mid-May that growth for the year would reach 1.1 percent across the 20 countries that use the single currency.

Long Covid's impact on daily activities of patients was worse than for stroke patients, as per research by UK experts.

Long Covid worse than cancer in hurting quality of life, says study

Long Covid's impact on daily activities of patients was worse than for stroke patients, as per research by UK experts.

People suffering from Long Covid have a lower quality of life regarding health than patients of some advanced cancers, according to a study conducted in the United Kingdom.
Health-related quality of life scores of Long Covid patients were lower than those of people with advanced metastatic cancers, like stage 4 lung cancer, as per a Guardian report quoting the study.
The impact of Long Covid on daily activities of patients was worse than for stroke patients and similar to people with Parkinson's disease, as per research by University College London and the University of Exeter.
Co-author of the study Prof William Henley said that Long Covid can leave people with worse fatigue than cancer, but support and understanding is not at the same level.

The 38-year-old Duke of Sussex accused the tabloid newspapers of “inciting hatred” against him as a young royal

Prince Harry becomes first British royal in over 100 years to testify in court

Prince Harry on Tuesday became the first senior British royal to give evidence in a high court trial in over 100 years 

The 38-year-old Duke of Sussex accused the tabloid newspapers of &ldquo;inciting hatred&rdquo; against him as a young royal

Prince Harry on Tuesday became the first senior British royal to give evidence in a high court trial in over 100 years as he appeared in the witness box to allege "utterly vile" unlawful information gathering, including by phone hacking, by journalists working for the Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN).
The 38-year-old Duke of Sussex accused the tabloid newspapers of &ldquo;inciting hatred&rdquo; against him as a young royal and casting him as a &ldquo;thicko&rdquo;, &ldquo;cheat&rdquo;, &ldquo;underage drinker&rdquo;, and &ldquo;irresponsible drug taker&rdquo; -- referring to some of the media labels he felt associated with over the years.
"I genuinely feel that in every relationship that I've ever had &ndash; be that with friends, girlfriends, with family or with the army, there's always been a third party involved, namely the tabloid press," reads his witness statement released as Harry gave oral evidence in court.
"As a teenager and in my early twenties, I ended up feeling as though I was playing up to a lot of the headlines and stereotypes that they wanted to pin on me mainly because I thought that, if they are printing this rubbish about me and people were believing it, I may as well 'do the crime', so to speak,&rdquo; he said.
"It was a downward spiral, whereby the tabloids would constantly try and coax me, a 'damaged' young man, into doing something stupid that would make a good story and sell lots of newspapers. Looking back on it now, such behaviour on their part is utterly vile," he added.
The royal said he decided to go to the court to hold people to account for what they have done and that he was "determined to get to the bottom of it once and for all&rdquo;.
Harry, who stepped back as a working royal and now lives in the US with his wife Meghan Markle and two children Archie and Lilibet, has said that the deceptive methods used by MGN newspapers impacted his personal life.
He alleges that the &lsquo;Daily Mirror&rsquo;, &lsquo;Sunday Mirror&rsquo;, and &lsquo;Sunday People&rsquo; were linked to methods including phone hacking, so-called &ldquo;blagging&rdquo; or gaining information by deception, and use of private investigators, between 1996 and 2010 to get detailed information about his private affairs.
MGN disputes the allegations and also argued that some of the claimants who are part of the representative legal action have brought their case too late. Their lawyers are expected to cross-examine Prince Harry in the witness box this week.
Meanwhile, the royal&rsquo;s lawyer on Monday told the hearing as it opened that &lsquo;Mirror&rsquo; journalists listened to voicemail messages from Princess Diana &ndash; Harry&rsquo;s late mother.
"Nothing was sacrosanct or out of bounds and there was no protection from this unlawful information gathering," David Sherborne told the court, alleging that the ups and downs of Harry&rsquo;s relationship with ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy were among those gained via unlawful means.
The Prince alleges around 140 articles published between 1996 and 2010 contained information gathered using unlawful methods and, according to court reports, 33 of these have been selected to be considered at the trial.
Justice Timothy Fancourt, who is presiding over the trial at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, had expressed &ldquo;surprise&rdquo; that Harry was not in court at the start of the trial but was told that he had flown in from Los Angeles only on Sunday night as it was daughter Princess Lilibet&rsquo;s second birthday on June 4.
The last time a senior royal took to the witness stand in an English High Court trial was in 1891 when the then Prince of Wales was called to give evidence in a gambling case dubbed the Royal Baccarat Scandal.
At the time, the future King Edward VII was brought to court to give testimony over a tricky case of cheating in a game of cards that the royal happened to be present at.&nbsp;

All engagements of Pope Francis have been cancelled through June 18, the Vatican said.

Pope Francis undergoes abdominal surgery for hernia

Pope Francis underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a hernia in his abdominal wall. 

All engagements of Pope Francis have been cancelled through June 18, the Vatican said.

Pope Francis underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a hernia in his abdominal wall.&nbsp;
The Vatican said there were no complications after the three-hour surgery, during which Francis was under general anaesthesia. &nbsp;The 86-year-old pontiff is expected to remain in the hospital for several days. As a precaution, all papal audiences were cancelled through June 18, the Vatican said.
The pope was suffering from a &ldquo;painful and worsening&rdquo; hernia that formed over a previous scar, presumably from his 2021 colon surgery. Experts said the formation of the hernia, called a laparocele, is a known complication from intestinal surgery. The concern is that a portion of his intestine may have bulged through the tear and become trapped.
Francis went to the hospital for previously unannounced tests Tuesday, returned to the Vatican and presided over his audience Wednesday morning, but then went straight to Gemelli for the procedure afterwards.
Francis remains in charge of the Vatican and the 1.3-billion-strong Catholic Church, even while unconscious and in the hospital, according to canon law.
