Asanda Zondi received a surprising phone call last Thursday, with orders to reach a health clinic in Vulindlela, South Africa, where he was participating in a research study that was testing a new device to prevent pregnancy and H.IV. infection.The trial was closing, told her a nurse. The device, a silicone ring inserted in its vagina, had to be removed immediately.When Mrs. Zondi, 22 years old, arrived in the clinic, learned why: the US agency for international development, which financed the study, had withdrawn financial support and had issued a stop-work order to all organizations all over the world who receive his money. The Brusca move followed an executive order of President Trump who freezed all foreign aid for at least 90 days. Since then, the Trump administration has taken measur...

The European Union spent last year to elaborate secret plans for what the block would have done if President Trump had maintained his threats to impose higher rates on European goods and services.Now, since those threats go from hypothetical to potentially imminent, its plans are becoming widely focused.Specific sectors to hit, politically sensitive - such as the products made in the Republican states - with targeted rates intended to inflict maximum pain. Do not intensify in a tit-for-tat competition if it is avoidable. Move quickly and definitely, potentially using new tactics that could affect service providers such as large Silicon Valley technological companies.It is an approximate playbook - described in general by three diplomats who required anonymity because the plans were still u...

C. Richard Kramlich, a first investor in the Silicon Valley who co-founded the Giant of Investments new Enterprise members, helping to feed the highly expanding technological industry, died on Saturday in his home in San Francisco.

Thursday Trump defended his proposal for the United States to take care of the post -war and resetty Gaza of his Palestinian residents, but he underlined that he would not have deployed US troops in the enclave, as the Israeli defense minister announced that he had ordered To the military to draw up A. plan to allow people to go voluntarily.The developments are added to a whirlwind of confusion on the proposal of Mr. Trump to "take" the Gaza strip and for the approximately two million Palestinians who live there to move elsewhere. The deportation or forced transfer of a civilian population is a violation of international humanitarian law, a war crime and a crime against humanity, experts say. Mr. Trump's plan has already caused a furious opposition all over the world, with some critics who...

Nevada dairy cows were infected with a new form of bird influence which is distinct from the version that has spread through the herds in the last year, has announced the Department of Agriculture of the United States on Wednesday.The discovery indicates that the virus, known as H5n1, has spread from birds in cows at least twice - leading to these two series of infections - and that it could continue to do so. It also suggests that the virus can involve a persistent risk for cows and people who work closely with them.Before last year, scientists did not know that the cows were susceptible to this type of influence."This is not what someone wanted to see," said Louise Moncla, an evolutionary biologist who studies avian influence at the University of Pennsylvania. "We must now consider the p...

Valérie André was 10 years old in 1932 when, armed with a bouquet of congratulations, he greeted the hero aviator Maryse Hilsz in the Strasbourg Aerodrome in France.She was already committed to becoming a doctor, an ambitious career goal for a young woman at the time. But she was welcomed so warmly when she presented the flowers to Mrs. Hilsz, who had just completed a round -trip flight between Paris and Saigon, who has committed himself to another formidable goal: he decided to become an air rider.Valérie André not only pursued both professions; He thrown into them. It has become a brain surgeon, a paratrooper and a pilot of helicopters who was said to be the first woman to fly the rescue missions in the combat areas for any military force. It was also the first French to be nominated gen...

The first weeks of President Trump in the White House include government groups who climb to understand their funding and Wall Street investors who were mounted by commercial wars that seemed to start and then end up in an instant.But through everything, the mood among those in the media on the right was to say the least ebullient."I don't have enough time for all victories," said Dan Bongino, a long -standing and popular right -wing Podcaster supporter in his show Tuesday. "It's a good problem to have."A choir of right influencers and media characters spent the first two weeks of Mr. Trump in office to respond to each of his moves with a unified sense of support and even reverential fear. The triumphant tone could reflect an important advantage for Mr. Trump during his second presidential...

On Tuesday evening the declaration of President Trump according to which the United States could "take over" to the Gaza Strip and that its Palestinian population could have been permanently churned out was immediately criticized in the Middle East and beyond.In a joint press conference of the White House with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, Trump said: "The United States will take control of the Gaza Strip and we will also do a job". He said that the enclave, which has been devastated for over 15 months of war between Israel and Hamas, could be redeveloped and transformed into "The Riviera del Middle East".Riyad Mansour, leader of the Palestinian delegation at the United Nations, said on social media that instead of being transferred to other countries, the Palestinians in Ga...

The idea was so tempting. The drugs in the GLP-1 class, which include Wegovy and Ozempic, have shown themselves miraculous in the treatment of weight loss and other diseases. And some researchers hoped that the drugs could also help with some of the most difficult diseases to treat: those of the brain, such as Parkinson's ones.But now, at least for Parkinson's, that hope seems attenuated. A rigorous study that randomly assigned Parkinson's patients to take Exenatide, a relative of Ozimpic, has not shown absolutely any benefit or slowdown in the course of the degenerative disease after 96 weeks.And there has been no effect on the patient's symptoms, no effect on brain scans, no subgroup that showed any benefit. It doesn't matter how the researchers cut the data, the results were the same.Th...

Rev. Richard Williamson, a priest affiliated to a fleeing Catholic sect that caused a scandal in the church for his anti -Semitic declarations and the denial of the Holocaust, and which was excommunicated twice by the Vatican, died on Wednesday In Margate, England. He was 84 years old.His death, after suffering a cerebral hemorrhage, was confirmed by the schismatic Catholic sect of which he had been a longtime member, the Society of St. Pius X, in a press release issued by his headquarters in Switzerland.The company was founded in 1970 by the renegade traditionalist French archbishop, Marcel Lefebvre, who rejected the liberalizing dictates of the second Vatican Council of the mid -1960s, who, among other things, repudiated doctrinal anti -Semitism in the Church.Father Williamson was ordai...
