The Trump administration has proposed new changes to the H-1B visa programme, aiming to prioritise higher-paid and more skilled foreign workers. The proposal comes days after a $100,000 one-time fee for new H-1B applications was announced. Under the new rules, visas will no longer be allocated by lottery. Instead, petitions offering higher wages will get preference if applications exceed the annual cap of 85,000. Officials say the move is designed to protect American workers from wage suppression. The rules apply only to new visas and take effect Sunday. Legal challenges are expected from tech companies. (PC: AP)

Mysterious technical glitches disrupted UN General Assembly speeches by world leaders discussing Palestinian statehood recognition. Turkey's Erdogan, Canada's Carney, and Indonesia's Subianto experienced microphone failures during critical moments addressing Palestine. Erdogan's audio cut while condemning Israeli actions in Gaza. Carney's microphone died immediately after declaring Canada's recognition of Palestinian statehood. Subianto lost audio while discussing Gaza peacekeepers. UN staff attributed failures to equipment problems, denying outside interference. Despite disruptions, Palestinian recognition momentum grew with France, Belgium, Malta, Luxembourg, and Canada joining approximately 150 nations supporting statehood. Israel and the US opposed the moves, with Netanyahu rejecting Palestinian state establishment and America warning against rewarding Hamas.
