1st UAE space mission to Mars launches from Japan

The first Arab space mission to Mars blasted off on Monday aboard a rocket from Japan, after weather delays set back the launch of the probe dubbed “Hope.”

A live feed of the launch showed the rocket carrying the unmanned probe, known as “Al-Amal” in Arabic, lifting off from the Tanegashima Space Center in southern Japan.

Five minutes after launch, the rocket carrying the probe was on course, carrying out the first separation of its flight. The Emirati project is one of three racing to Mars, including Tianwen-1 from China and Mars 2020 from the United States, taking advantage of a period when the Earth and Mars are nearest.

US rescinds visa rule on intl. students

In a stunning reversal of policy, the Trump administration has abandoned a plan that would have forced out tens of thousands of foreign students following widespread condemnation of the move and pressure from colleges and major businesses.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced on July 6 that international students at schools that had moved to online-only classes due to the coronavirus pandemic would have to leave the country if they were unable to transfer to a college with at least some in-person instruction.

According to the settlement, a March guidance will be reinstated, allowing international students to take all their classes online during the pandemic while staying in the United States legally.

85 children under age 2 have virus in Texas county

More than 80 children under 2 years old, most of them younger than 1 year old, have tested positive for the coronavirus in one Texas county, a local public health official announced, as the United States set a single-day record in the tally of new cases.

The public health director in Nueces County on the Texas Gulf Coast said 85 children under 2 years old, including 52 younger than a year old, have tested positive for the virus.

“These babies have not even had their first birthdays yet,” director Annette Rodriguez said on Friday of the cases. “Please help us to stop the spread of this disease.”

Son of US district judge killed, husband shot

A gunman shot and killed the 20-year-old son of a U.S. federal judge as he answered the door of the family home on Sunday in New Jersey and shot and wounded the judge’s husband before fleeing, according to judiciary officials.

The shootings occurred at the North Brunswick home of U.S. District Judge Esther Salas, and killed her son, Daniel, Chief District Judge Freda Wolfson told The Associated Press. Her husband, defense lawyer Mark Anderl, was injured in the attack, Wolfson said.

Salas was in the basement at the time and wasn’t injured, according to a judiciary official who spoke anonymously. The perpetrator, believed to be a lone gunman posing as a FedEx delivery person, was not in custody, the official said. (SD-Agencies)
