Novak Djokovic has once again proven that he is a mighty force to be reckoned with after winning the Wimbledon Men’s final in four sets

The 34-year old Serbian national now has six Wimbledon trophies to his name. This means he’s now tied with Rodger Federer and Rafael Nadal, with 20 Grand Slam victories.

Djokovic competed against Italian Matteo Berrettini, with the 25-year-old putting forward a massive fighting spirit. However, it was ultimately not enough to topple the world number one.

When asked about his equal Grand Slam ranking with Nadal and Federer, Djokovic laughed saying “it means none of us three will stop”.

He continued, adding “I have to pay great tribute to Rafa and Roger. They are legends of our sport and they are the two most important players I have faced in my career. They are the reason that I am where I am today.”

The final score of the game was 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3.

UN faces mounting pressure over Gaza and climate change as global leaders convene for General Assembly amid ongoing crises

In Short:
– The UN struggles with violence in Gaza and doubts about its role in global conflicts.
– International pressure on Israel increases, with smaller nations relying on the UN to express their concerns.

The United Nations faces significant challenges as it grapples with escalating violence in Gaza and broader global issues.

Delegates are gathering this week in New York for the UN General Assembly, where the UN’s inability to resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict looms large.Historically, the UN aimed to establish peace between Jewish and Arab states in Palestine.

However, its power to address current tensions has diminished, especially with Israel’s continued incursions into Palestinian territories. Israeli officials, including the ambassador to the UN, have vocalised frustrations towards the organisation.

The UN’s challenges extend to its roles in humanitarian aid and climate initiatives, facing budget constraints and diminished expectations.

Global leaders are questioning the UN’s relevance, particularly regarding pressing issues like the Ukraine conflict.

International Response

Increased international scrutiny of Israel parallels historical situations, leading to calls for intensified diplomatic efforts.

The EU has proposed new measures affecting Israeli imports. Amidst this, smaller nations view the UN as a vital platform to voice concerns that might otherwise go unheard.

Trump announces massive H-1B visa fee increases and introduces $1 million ‘gold card’ to reshape immigration system

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.
