REUTERS/Brian Snyder/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsWASHINGTON, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Donald Trump, the leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, has promised to crack down on illegal immigration and restrict legal immigration if elected to a second term in office. Trump focused on building a wall on the Mexico border during his first term and has pledged to close gaps in the border wall if reelected. During his first term, Trump greatly reduced the number of refugees allowed into the U.S. from abroad and has criticized Biden's decision to increase admissions. Trump has said he would push for a "a merit-based immigration system that protects American labor and promotes American values." Trump tried to phase out most TPS enrollment during his first term, but was slowed by legal challenges.

The lawmakers called on Biden to use the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) or Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) programs to provide the relief. Some Democrats, civil rights and immigrant advocates criticized the bill, with Democratic Representative Bill Pascrell calling it "absolutely despicable."

WASHINGTON, June 13 (Reuters) - The United States will extend deportation relief and work permits through 2025 for more than 300,000 immigrants from El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Nepal but will not expand the program to cover additional people, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said on Tuesday. Biden's Democratic administration is rescinding Trump's earlier decisions as part of the process of extending the relief for immigrants from El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Nepal. The latest decision by the Biden administration will allow TPS renewals for 239,000 Salvadorans who have resided in the U.S. since 2001. Hundreds of thousands of immigrants from El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua living in the U.S. illegally will not be covered by the TPS extension since they arrived after the cutoff dates.

March 2 (Reuters) - French oil and gas services provider Technip Energies (TE.PA) announced on Thursday lower annual revenue and guidance for 2023, citing the impact of its exit from a major LNG project in Russia. By the end of Dec. 2021, the Russian projects accounted for 23% of Technip Energies' order backlog. Annual adjusted revenue came in at 6.4 billion euros ($6.82 billion), down 4% from 2021 and below a company-provided consensus of 6.5 billion on average. The group's Project Delivery segment had annual adjusted revenue down 6% year-on-year, to 5 billion euros, but adjusted revenue for the Technology, Product and Service (TPS) branch was up 8% from 2021, to 1.4 billion euros. In 2023, Technip Energies said it expected adjusted revenue of 5.7-6.2 billion euros and a recurring core margin of 6.7%–7.2% — both below 2022 guidance of 6.2-6.5 billion euros and 6.7%-6.9%.

WASHINGTON — Some of the largest business groups in Washington are making a last-ditch effort to get Congress to pass immigration legislation before the end of the year and are optimistic a bipartisan agreement could fall into place. Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., and Thom Tillis, R-N.C., began circulating the contours of a possible deal. Businesses have been calling on Congress to change the immigration system and make it easier for them to hire foreign workers for years, but the situation has grown increasingly dire since the pandemic. We hope it can be successful.”Republicans who have been involved in past efforts to change immigration laws poured cold water on the Sinema-Tillis push. I appreciate them working on it — there’s a deal to be done down the road — but it’s not money, it’s policy.”

☆ U.S. says it will expand, extend temporary status for Haitians

SAN DIEGO — The Biden administration said Monday that it would expand temporary legal status for Haitians already living in the United States, determining conditions in the Caribbean nation were too dangerous for their forced return. The Homeland Security Department said Haitians who were in the United States Nov. 6 could apply for Temporary Protected Status and those who were granted it last year could stay an additional 18 months until Aug. 3, 2024. The administration has extended temporary status for several countries and expanded or introduced it for Haiti, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Myanmar, Cameroon and Venezuela, reversing a Trump-era trend to cut back on protections for those already in the United States. Haitians who enter the United States after Monday’s announcement will be ineligible for TPS, authorities said, though that may do little to discourage some. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who called last week for an expansion and extension, said more than 100,000 Haitians will be eligible for temporary status under Monday’s announcement.

SAN SALVADOR, Nov 10 (Reuters) - The United States has extended a protected status program that prevents migrants from being deported to mid-2024 for citizens of six countries, including Haiti and three Central American nations, its immigration service said on Thursday. The Temporary Protected Status (TPS) will be extended to June 30, 2024, for citizens of Haiti, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Sudan, Honduras, and Nepal, according to a document filed by the U.S. The TPS program provides recipients work permits and can protect them from deportation if their home countries go through extraordinary events such as natural disaster or armed conflict. The extension will affect about 392,000 people, of whom some 242,000 are citizens of El Salvador, according to USCIS data. "Thanks be to God," said Salvadoran Ambassador to the United States Milena Mayorga, tweeting a link to the document.

☆ Fact Check-Satellites exist and can survive in the thermosphere without melting or burning

This is false, as satellites do exist, and experts told Reuters there are not enough gas molecules to transfer heat to melt or burn in the thermosphere. Satellites, which generally refer to machines that are launched into space and orbit the earth or space (here), do exist and are mostly in the thermosphere. The thermosphere sits between the mesosphere and the exosphere between 50 and 440 miles (80 and 700 km) above the Earth’s surface (here). Images and videos of satellites and spacecrafts launched into space can also be found on NASAs Image and Video Library (here), (here). Other satellites do not need to survive re-entry, and do not require a heat shield to withstand the temperatures of space.

WASHINGTON, Oct 21 (Reuters) - The U.S. government on Friday granted Temporary Protected Status for 18 months for Ethiopians currently residing in the United States, the Department of Homeland Security said. "The United States recognizes the ongoing armed conflict and the extraordinary and temporary conditions engulfing Ethiopia, and DHS is committed to providing temporary protection to those in need," Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement announcing the designation.

An estimated 27,000 Ethiopians in the United States will be eligible for TPS under the new designation, a Homeland Security department spokesperson said. To qualify for the program, Ethiopians in the United States will have to show they have been continuously resided in the United States since October 20, 2022, and those who attempt to travel to the United States after that date would not be eligible, the department said.

Baker is the first oilfield services firm to report quarterly results, and its beat bodes well for rivals Schlumberger (SLB.N) and Halliburton (HAL.N), both of which report in coming days. On an adjusted basis, Baker Hughes posted a profit of $264 million, or 26 cents a share, up from $141 million a year earlier. The profit topped analysts' forecasts for around 24 cents per share, according to Refinitiv data. The company anticipates double-digit revenue growth in its international oilfield services business in 2023 and modest growth in its North America business, driven largely by public firms. Its oilfield business segments accounted for about 63% of its revenue during the quarter through September.

O echipă multidisciplinară de oameni de ştiinţă de la Universitatea Ben Gurion din Israel a inventat un nas artificial capabil să detecteze o varietate de bacterii, informează agenţia TPS.Un nas artificial capabil să monitorizeze în mod continuu contaminarea bacteriană - o realizare ce a fost considerată până în prezent dificil de atins - are numeroase posibilităţi de punere în practică. "Am inventat un nas artificial bazat pe nanoparticule de carbon unice ("puncte carbonice"), capabile să depisteze molecule de gaz, mai ales să detecteze bacterii prin metaboliţii volatili pe care acestea îi eliberează în atmosferă", a declarat profesorul Raz Jelinek, cercetător principal în cadrul studiului.Nasul artificial utilizează reacţii chimice şi electrozi pentru a "mirosi" bacterii. Din punct de vedere tehnic, acesta înregistrează modificările la nivelul capacitanţei induse prin legarea moleculelor de vapori la electrozi interdigitaţi (IDE) acoperiţi cu puncte carbonice ce prezintă polarităţi diferite.Învăţarea automată poate determina senzorul să identifice, cu precizie înaltă, diferite molecule de gaz, individuale sau în mixturi, potrivit Agerpres

Israelul a reintrodus măsura purtării măştii de protecţie în anumite zone, după apariţia a două noi focare de coronavirus în şcoli, a anunţat duminică Ministerul Sănătăţii, relatează Agepres.Măştile sunt obligatorii în interior şi în exterior în zona Binyamina, la sud de Haifa, şi în Modiin-Makkabim-Reut, oraş situat situat între Tel Aviv şi Ierusalim.Cu toate acestea, într-o şcoală din Binyamina, 45 de elevi au fost testaţi pozitiv pentru coronavirus, iar în Modiin au fost înregistrate săptămâna trecută aproximativ 20 de cazuri de infectare.Focarul din Binyamina a fost detectat în urma unei ample operaţiuni de prelevare de probe, care a început odată cu descoperirea primului copil bolnav. Au fost testate diferite grupe de vârstă din şcoală şi au fost descoperite alte nouă cazuri. Operaţiunea de prelevare de probe a fost extinsă la alte şcoli şi au fost descoperite alte 35 de cazuri verificate.Toate probele au fost trimise pentru analiză la Centrul Naţional pentru Tehnologii Genomice şi se pare că varianta indiană delta este responsabilă pentru epidemie. Cu toate acestea, majoritatea copiilor sub 16 ani nu sunt vaccinaţi şi abia recent vaccinurile au fost făcute accesibile pentru grupa de vârstă 12 - 16 ani.Israelul, o ţară cu 9 milioane de locuitori, a început campania de vaccinare în decembrie. Majoritatea secţiilor de coronavirus din spitalele israeliene au fost închise.6.427 de israelieni au murit din cauza acestui virus.
