The United Kingdom (UK) Home Office has announced that it will unveil a new "legal and safe" asylum system in the coming months, based on Canada's experience and supported by sponsorship from universities, businesses, and community groups. According to the BBC, under this plan, which is set to begin implementation next year, the government intends to gradually expand this system, starting with strict vetting and low numbers, aiming to reduce taxpayer costs incurred by housing asylum seekers in hotels. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood stated that the new system will protect "genuine refugees" and close legal loopholes. Although draft immigration legislation is being prepared for Parliament, it is facing significant political opposition and debate among members of the Conservative Party and some members of the ruling Labour Party, who argue that no more people should be allowed in until the number of illegal boat arrivals is completely stopped.

It has been reported that two young people lost their lives in a landslide accident at a gold prospecting site in Abiyi Adi, Tembien, Tigray region. The accident reportedly occurred on Sene 19, 2018 E.C., around 8:00 AM from the night (2:00 AM Gregorian). Extracting the bodies of the deceased was difficult due to the severity of the landslide and the inaccessibility of the location for vehicles, which made the excavation work challenging. An attempt at excavation with a bulldozer was unsuccessful, so the extraction work was carried out manually. After 6 hours of excavation, the bodies of the deceased were able to be recovered. Additional information is awaited to verify the details of the accident and confirm the identities of the deceased.

#USA #IRAN A military conflict has re-erupted between the United States and Iran; the countries are blaming each other for the tension. The US Central Command stated that Iran violated the temporary ceasefire agreement between the countries by launching a drone attack on the commercial vessel 'M/V Ever Lovely'. In response to this attack, the US announced that it carried out a series of airstrikes on missile depots, unmanned aerial vehicle (drone) stations, and radar infrastructures in Iran. Iran, for its part, completely rejected the US accusation. Tehran officials stated that they did not violate the ceasefire agreement, instead launching a counter-accusation, saying, "The United States and Israel are the parties who first violated the ceasefire agreement." The chairman of the country's parliamentary security committee, Ibrahim Azizi, condemned the American attack as "a reckless violation of the ceasefire," stating that the act shows Trump's lack of commitment to both negotiation and ceasefire principles. He added that this violation would bring failure and regret to the US, stating, "The blame game will no longer work." Furthermore, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced in a statement that its naval and air forces were able to thwart an attack it claimed was carried out by the US on Sirik Island. It warned that the act "will not go unanswered" and that a swift and decisive response would be given at the appropriate time and place. Currently, both sides are blaming each other for the new conflict that has erupted. This new military confrontation has jeopardized the diplomatic efforts the two countries recently made in Switzerland. No final and permanent peace agreement was signed between the countries; the discussions held in Switzerland were aimed at establishing a temporary ceasefire and subsequently preparing a roadmap for future negotiations. That negotiation framework aimed to progressively resolve agendas concerning: - regional security, - sanctions issues, - and Iran's nuclear program. Following the discussions, the Strait of Hormuz had seen some stability, and oil prices had fallen. Today's accusations and military actions by both sides have jeopardized the temporary ceasefire and plunged the region back into high risk.

tldr: A military conflict has reignited between the US and Iran, with both nations accusing each other of violating a recent temporary ceasefire. The US Central Command reported an Iranian drone attack on the 'M/V Ever Lovely' commercial ship, prompting US airstrikes on Iranian military sites, while Iran denied the accusation, counter-blaming the US and Israel for the initial breach and warning of retaliation. This renewed hostility jeopardizes recent diplomatic efforts in Switzerland that aimed to establish a roadmap for regional security, sanctions, and Iran's nuclear program. #World @ByteTikvah

How could all these students taste the juice brought by one student?In Metser Primary School, located in South Ari Woreda, Ari Zone, South Ethiopia Region, it was reported that several students who were told to "drink and smell" a powdered juice mixed with water, bought from a local shop, suffered health problems.Information from the regional police indicates that the number of students who suffered health problems reaches up to 200.The Ari Zone Health Department told Tikvah Ethiopia that although the number of sick students varies, the problem occurred when students entered the school for exams.As the Health Department told us, students started experiencing health problems after one student bought powdered juice that mixes with water from a shop and gave it to other students in the classroom to drink.Tikvah Ethiopia asked Ato Bedilu Bagmaso, head of the Zonal Health Department, "How could all these students taste the juice brought by one student?"The official said, "The information we got when we spoke with the regional health bureau is that when one student showed symptoms, it might be anxiety and panic created among students with the thought 'we might also experience the same thing'."He added, "According to the information we have so far, students who were initially told to drink the juice were vomiting a liquid with the same color (orange) as the drink they consumed."He further explained, "The juice can be mixed with about 2 liters of water and drunk, which is common during the sunny season. It is also divided into small containers and sold for a small amount of money. Although many students might have had the chance to taste it this way, we believe it couldn't have reached the reported number. Therefore, our conclusion is that it might be a panic attack created among the students."Tikvah EthiopiaJune 19, 2018 E.C. Original Post: https://t.me/tikvahethiopia/106544

tldr: Up to 200 students at Metser Primary School in Ethiopia's South Ari Zone reportedly fell ill after consuming a powdered juice brought by a single student. While some students exhibited symptoms like vomiting an orange liquid, health officials suggest that widespread panic and anxiety among students, rather than direct consumption by all, might explain the high number of reported illnesses.
