Crowds gather to see Andrew Tate step outside

Published

Disgraced influencer Andrew Tate has claimed that he will “stay on house arrest” just days after his release, in his latest Twitter rant.

Tate had been under house arrest in Bucharest since March, along with his brother Tristan, over sex trafficking allegations. However, he won an appeal in a Bucharest court on Friday, leading to his release from house arrest and placement under judicial control.

Taking to Twitter, Andrew expressed his preference for staying at home, stating that he would rather eat at home than go to restaurants, smoke shisha or cigars at home, and have no interest in going to clubs. He mentioned wanting to cruise around in cars and visit the mosque, indicating that he is content with the restricted movement allowed under his judicial control.

Andrew Tate’s lawyer, Tina Glandian, is a US legal advisor and partner at the Geragos & Geragos law firm. She has been a rising star in her career and heads the firm’s New York office.

Andrew Tate has been charged with rape, while his brother Tristan has been charged with instigating others to violence. Under Romanian law, trafficking of adults carries a prison sentence of up to 10 years. The trial is expected to take several years.

The influencer’s past controversies include being banned from reality TV show Big Brother after a video emerged showing him appearing to assault a woman. He has also faced criticism for his pseudoscientific claims, including denying the existence of depression. Tate’s release has raised concerns, with prosecutors stating that he and his brother may still have considerable freedom, including the ability to spread their views on social media and make phone calls.

In Short:
– Trump announced a $100,000 fee for H-1B visas and a $1 million residency gold card to boost American hiring.
– Critics argue increased fees may limit smaller firms’ access to foreign talent, impacting U.S. tech innovation.
President Trump announced significant changes to the U.S. immigration system, introducing a new $100,000 fee for H-1B visas and a $1 million “gold card” for residency.
The move aims to increase revenue and promote the hiring of American workers, claiming that many tech companies exploit the current system.The fee increase targets H-1B visa applications, which traditionally have low entry costs.

Trump stated the initiative aims to bring in highly skilled individuals rather than those crossing the borders illegally. A gold card requiring a $1 million payment will expedite visa processing, with a reduced availability compared to existing green card categories.

The new programme could alter the competitive landscape for U.S. tech companies, which historically depend on H-1B visas to access foreign talent.

Critics warn that the increased fees may deter smaller firms from utilising these visas, potentially hindering U.S. progress in tech sectors like artificial intelligence.

Visa Impact

Debate persists within Trump’s administration regarding the new policy’s implications. Supporters argue it protects American jobs, while opponents contend it restricts access to global talent crucial for innovation.

The H-1B visa programme, established in 1990, remains vital for skilled foreign workers seeking residency in the U.S., yet faces growing scrutiny.

Israel launches its new “Iron Beam” laser system

Israel’s new “Iron Beam” laser defense system to deploy by year-end, promising cost-effective missile interception.


Israel’s Defence Ministry says its new “Iron Beam” laser system will be deployed by year’s end. The technology is designed to destroy incoming missiles, rockets, drones and mortars with precision.

Developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems in partnership with Elbit Systems, Iron Beam will sit alongside existing defences such as Iron Dome, David’s Sling and Arrow. Unlike traditional interceptors which can cost tens of thousands of dollars per shot, the laser comes at negligible expense.

Officials call it the world’s first high-power laser interception system to achieve operational maturity, hailing it as a game-changer for modern warfare. Military leaders expect the system to reshape air defence capabilities and cut costs dramatically.
