U.S. President Joe Biden said Tuesday his administration will send more advanced rocket systems and munitions to Ukraine, answering urgent pleas for weapons the Ukrainians view as critical in the effort to stall Russia’s latest advances.

In a guest essay published in the New York Times, Biden said the U.S. is committed to supplying Ukraine with enough weapons and ammunition to fight on the battlefield and retain a strong position in negotiations with Moscow. “That’s why I’ve decided that we will provide the Ukrainians with more advanced rocket systems and munitions that will enable them to more precisely strike key targets on the battlefield in Ukraine,” the president wrote.

Canada faces ‘challenging’ NATO summit amid spending dip, NORAD questions: experts

NATO leaders summit amid new data suggesting a defence spending dip, and growing public confusion about where the cash is coming from for major promised NORAD upgrades, experts warn.New numbers from the military alliance suggest Canada is slipping behind on its pledge to hit a prominent spending target as the size of the economy grows in comparison to promised new spending.At the same time, there is growing frustration among the defence industry at the government’s handling of an announcement of $4.9 billion in upgrades to NORAD radar and surveillance systems.“If the idea was to instill confidence that this is all buttoned down, I think they’ve done about the opposite that,” said David Perry, vice-president of the Canadian Global Affairs Institute and a defence policy expert.“That basically is going to make the summit a little bit more challenging, especially in the middle of a fairly convoluted week and a bit, over what we are doing about continental defence and the budget.”Perry said the government has trying to emphasize that spending on defence is on the upswing.Now, he says the confusion is about whether the government is actually adding new defence spending, or “reshuffling things.”Ranked by percentage of GDP spending, Canada now sits 24th out of 29 members in the NATO alliance.

Focus on accelerating second and precaution doses of covid-19 vaccination: Centre to states

NEW DELHI : Amid the surge of covid cases in some parts of the country, the Centre on Tuesday has directed States and UTs to focus on accelerating second and precaution doses of COVID-19 vaccination. Rajesh Bhushan, Union Health Secretary reviewed the status of COVID situation through a video conference (VC) with 14 such States that are reporting high number of cases on a week-to-week basis along with increased case positivity combined with low numbers of COVID tests and below average COVID vaccination. He advised caution and continuous alertness to States reporting a surge in COVID cases during the past few weeks, and to step up vigil against COVID. The four-fold strategy highlights surveillance of incoming inter-national travelers; community-based surveillance; sentinel site surveillance (health facility-based surveillance and lab-based surveillance); and Whole Genome Sequencing. States were advised to scan for and report all SARI and ILI cases from all district hospitals, major private hospitals and medical colleges across the districts, and keep a close watch on those geographies where these clusters are emerging. “States were also strongly advised to strictly monitor epidemiological profile of admitted COVID patients and report the clinical manifestation to Health Ministry, rather than a random or anecdotal reporting.

The goal was to remove backlogs of ships waiting to dock and containers waiting to flow into the country, a logjam that was pumping up prices as the world began to recover from the coronavirus pandemic.The port is now moving out a record 200,000 containers on a rolling 30-day average.

WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden delivered an impassioned plea to Congress to act on gun control Thursday night in an address to the nation, calling on lawmakers to restore limits on the sale of assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines after a string of mass shootings in the country.Speaking at the White House, Biden sought to drive up pressure on Congress to pass stricter gun limits after such efforts failed following past attacks."How much more carnage are we willing to accept," Biden said after last week's shootings by an 18-year-old gunman, who killed 19 students and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and another attack on Wednesday in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where a gunman shot and killed four people and himself at a medical office.And those came after the May 14 assault in Buffalo, New York, where a white 18-year-old wearing military gear and livestreaming with a helmet camera opened fire with a rifle at a supermarket in a predominantly Black neighborhood, killing 10 people and wounding three others in what authorities described as "racially motivated violent extremism."All major broadcast networks broke away from regular programing to carry Biden’s remarks at 7:30 p.m. EDT, before the start of primetime shows.
