Washington, Jan 21, . US President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order to abolish birthright citizenship in the US. The order will ensure that children of foreign passport holders will no longer be considered US citizens. This also includes those who are legally living in the country, such as those living on tourist, student and work visas.

This order of Trump can have a profound impact on Indians, know how –

What is birthright citizenship?

Birthright citizenship is the legal principle according to which children acquire citizenship of the country in which they are born, regardless of the nationality or immigration status of their parents.

The 14th Amendment to the US Constitution has long been read as granting citizenship to almost all children born on American soil. It was adopted in 1868 after the Civil War to clarify the status of formerly enslaved people.

It states that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens of the United States.”

What did Trump say?

On Monday, the president signed an executive order against birthright citizenship, calling it an ‘absolutely ridiculous’ concept. He also claimed that the US is the ‘only country in the world’ that has such a rule. The controversial order may face legal hurdles – but the White House believes there are ‘very good grounds’ for it to change.

What will the executive order do?

The order signed by Donald Trump on Monday will ensure that children born in the US – [whose at least one parent is not a citizen or lawful permanent resident] – will no longer automatically receive US citizenship. It also prohibits federal agencies from issuing or recognizing relevant documents proving US citizenship for such children. The order targets children of both unauthorized immigrants and those legally living in the US on temporary visas.

Will it come into effect immediately?

There was no immediate change in the process within hours of Trump signing the order. The executive order is scheduled to take effect by February 20, but it will face several legal hurdles. The citizenship clause is part of the US Constitution, and birthright citizenship is also backed by law. Several reports also quote experts claiming that a complete change in the laws related to birthright citizenship is impossible.

The order has sparked outrage in many parts of society, with many influential voices speaking out against the decision. Immigrant and civil rights advocates – including the American Civil Liberties Union – also filed a lawsuit against the order on Monday.

How will this decision affect Indians

According to media reports, according to the latest census, there are more than 5.4 million Indians in the United States, which is about 1.47 percent of the US population. Of these, two-thirds are immigrants, while 34% are US-born.

If Trump’s move is implemented, children of Indian citizens living in the US on temporary work visas or tourist visas will no longer automatically get citizenship.

The executive order also aims to end the trend of birth tourism in the country. Birth tourism is a trend in which a woman travels to the United States to give birth to a child in the country, so that she automatically gets US citizenship.

Washington, January 21, . US President Donald Trump said on Monday that he ‘does not believe’ that the Gaza ceasefire and hostage release agreement, which came into effect the previous day, will remain intact in all three phases. However, talking about the devastation in Gaza, he said that this area will have to be rebuilt.

Trump said, “This is their war, not ours. I don’t believe it.”

According to Israeli media, the US President said this in response to a question from reporters while signing executive orders in the Oval Office soon after his swearing-in.

However, Trump clearly mentioned Hamas. He said, “But I think they are very weak on the other side.”

The US President also talked about the devastation caused by the 15-month war in Gaza. He said, this enclave is ‘like a huge demolition site’ which ‘will have to be rebuilt in a different way.’

The real estate tycoon said Gaza is in a “wonderful location” along the Mediterranean Sea with the “best weather”. “Beautiful things can be done there, fantastic things,” he said.

When asked if he would help rebuild Gaza, the president replied: “Maybe I will help.”

Israel and Hamas on Sunday began implementing a ceasefire agreement that includes the exchange of hostages and prisoners. The plan was originally outlined in May by then-President Joe Biden and was pushed through after unusual joint diplomacy by his and Trump’s emissaries.

Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, killing nearly 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages. Israel then launched attacks in Gaza, killing at least 47,035 Palestinians and injuring 111,091.

We wish you success, President Trump! We look forward to active and mutually beneficial cooperation. We are stronger together, and we can provide the world and both our countries with greater security, stability and economic growth.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrote, “Congratulations, President Trump. I extend my warmest congratulations to you, Melania Trump and the American people on your second swearing-in as President of the United States. Your first term as President was filled with unprecedented moments in the history of the great alliance between our two countries. You withdrew from the dangerous Iran nuclear deal, recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem and recognised Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights. I am confident that we will completely defeat Iran’s axis of terror and usher in a new era of peace and prosperity for our region.”

Washington, January 20 . Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar on Monday attended the swearing-in day prayer service at St. John’s Church in Washington ahead of the swearing-in ceremony of the 47th US President Donald Trump.

Jaishankar wrote on social media platform X, “Today (Monday) I had the privilege of representing India as the Foreign Minister and the Prime Minister’s Special Envoy at the swearing-in ceremony of the 47th President of the United States in Washington DC.”

During this visit, he met officials of the Trump administration and other important personalities. The purpose of this visit was to strengthen bilateral relations between the US and India. Also, the relationship between India and the US is to be restored to the old era after Trump became President.

Earlier on Sunday, Foreign Minister Jaishankar held a bilateral meeting with his Japanese counterpart Takeshi Iwaya. In this meeting, the two ministers discussed important issues of bilateral cooperation, including political, security, economic, technical and people-to-people contact. This was the second meeting between Jaishankar and Iwaya. Earlier, the two also met at the G7 Foreign Ministers’ meeting in Italy in November 2024.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said that the meeting further strengthened the shared trust, values ​​and commitment to regional stability between India and Japan. The two leaders expressed satisfaction at the level and pace of exchanges and agreed to maintain strategic dialogue.

In addition, on the completion of 40 years of the first MoU on science and technology cooperation between the two countries in 1985, the ministers decided to declare 2025-26 as the India-Japan Year of Science, Technology and Innovation. During this, efforts to increase people-to-people exchanges in the fields of technology, skills and education were also welcomed.

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – A major new scientific report charts an urgent course correction for how the world grows food and uses land in order to avoid irretrievably compromising Earth’s capacity to support human and environmental well-being.

Produced under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Johan Rockström at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) in collaboration with the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), the report is launched as nearly 200 UNCCD member states begin their COP16 summit on Monday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Land is the foundation of Earth’s stability, the report underlines. It regulates climate, preserves biodiversity, maintains freshwater systems and provides life-giving resources including food, water and raw materials.  The report, Stepping back from the precipice: Transforming land management to stay within planetary boundaries, draws on roughly 350 information sources(*) to examine land degradation and opportunities to act from a planetary boundaries perspective.

Deforestation, urbanization and unsustainable farming, however, are causing global land degradation at an unprecedented scale, threatening not only different Earth system components but human survival itself.

Moreover, the deterioration of forests and soils undermines Earth’s capacity to cope with the climate and biodiversity crises, which in turn accelerate land degradation in a vicious, downward cycle of impacts.

“If we fail to acknowledge the pivotal role of land and take appropriate action, the consequences will ripple through every aspect of life and extend well into the future, intensifying difficulties for future generations,” said UNCCD Executive Secretary Ibrahim Thiaw.

Already today, land degradation disrupts food security, drives migration, and fuels conflicts.

The global area impacted by land degradation – approx. 15 million km², more than the entire continent of Antarctica or nearly the size of Russia  – is expanding each year by about a million square km.

Planetary boundaries

The report, available for download post-embargo at www.unccd.int and https://bit.ly/3V5SaY7, situates both problems and potential solutions related to land use within the scientific framework of the planetary boundaries, which has rapidly gained policy relevance since its unveiling 15 years ago.

The planetary boundaries define nine critical thresholds essential for maintaining Earth’s stability. How humanity uses or abuses land directly impacts seven of these, including climate change, species loss and ecosystem viability, freshwater systems, and the circulation of naturally occurring elements nitrogen and phosphorus. Change in land use is also a planetary boundary.

Alarmingly, six boundaries have already been breached to date, and two more are close to their thresholds: ocean acidification and the concentration of aerosols in the atmosphere. Only stratospheric ozone – the object of a 1989 treaty to reduce ozone-depleting chemicals – is firmly within its “safe operating space”.

“The aim of the planetary boundaries framework is to provide a measure for achieving human wellbeing within Earth’s ecological limits,” said Johan Rockström, lead author of the seminal study introducing the concept in 2009.

“We stand at a precipice and must decide whether to step back and take transformative action, or continue on a path of irreversible environmental change,” he adds.

The benchmark for land use, for example, is the extent of the world’s forests before significant human impact. Anything above 75% keeps us within safe bounds, but forest cover has already been reduced to only 60% of its original area, according to the most recent update of the planetary boundaries framework by Katherine Richardson and colleagues.

Until recently, land ecosystems absorbed nearly one third of human-caused CO₂ pollution, even as those emissions increased by half.

Over the last decade, however, deforestation and climate change have reduced by 20% the capacity of trees and soil to absorb excess CO₂.

Unsustainable agricultural practices

Conventional agriculture is the leading culprit of land degradation, contributing to deforestation, soil erosion and pollution. Unsustainable irrigation practices deplete freshwater resources, while excessive use of nitrogen- and phosphorus-based fertilizers destabilize ecosystems.

Degraded soils lower crop yields and nutritional quality, directly impacting the livelihoods of vulnerable populations. Secondary effects include greater dependency on chemical inputs and increased land conversion for farming.

The infamous Dust Bowl of the 1930s resulted from large-scale land-use changes and inadequate soil conservation.

Land degradation hotspots today stem from intensive agricultural production and high irrigation demands, particularly in dry regions such as South Asia, northern China, the US High Plains, California, and the Mediterranean.

Meanwhile, climate change – which has long since breached its own planetary boundary – accelerates land degradation through extreme weather events, prolonged droughts, and intensified floods. Melting mountain glaciers and altered water cycles heighten vulnerabilities, especially in arid regions.

Rapid urbanization intensifies these challenges, contributing to habitat destruction, pollution, and biodiversity loss.

The impacts of land degradation hit tropical and low-income countries disproportionately, both because they have less resilience and because impacts are concentrated in tropical and arid regions. Women, youth, Indigenous peoples, and local communities also bear the brunt of environmental decline. Women face increased workloads and health risks, while children suffer from malnutrition and educational setbacks.

Weak governance and corruption exacerbate these challenges. Corruption fosters illegal deforestation and resource exploitation, perpetuating cycles of degradation and inequality.

According to the Prindex initiative, nearly one billion people lack secure land tenure, with the highest concentration in north Africa (28%), sub-Saharan Africa (26%), as well as South and Southeast Asia. The fear of losing one’s home or land undermines efforts to promote sustainable practices.

Agricultural subsidies often incentivize harmful practices, fueling overuse of water and biogeochemical imbalances. Aligning these subsidies with sustainability goals is critical for effective land management.

From 2013 to 2018, more than half-a-trillion dollars were spent on such subsidies across 88 countries, a report by FAO, UNDP and UNEP found in 2021.  Nearly 90% went to inefficient, unfair practices that harmed the environment, according to that report.

Transformative action

Transformative action to combat land degradation is needed to ensure a return to the safe operating space for the land-based planetary boundaries. Just as the planetary boundaries are interconnected, so must be the actions to prevent or slow their transgression.

Principles of fairness and justice are key when designing and implementing transformative actions to stop land degradation, ensuring that benefits and burdens are equitably distributed.

Agriculture reform, soil protection, water resource management, digital solutions, sustainable or “green” supply chains, equitable land governance along with the protection and restoration of forests, grasslands, savannas and peatlands are crucial for halting and reversing land and soil degradation.

Regenerative agriculture is primarily defined by its outcomes, including improved soil health, carbon sequestration and biodiversity enhancement. Agroecology emphasises holistic land management, including the integration of forestry, crops and livestock management.

Woodland regeneration, no-till farming, nutrient management, improved grazing, water conservation and harvesting, efficient irrigation, intercropping, organic fertiliser, improved use of compost and biochar – can all enhance soil carbon and boost yields.

Savannas are under severe threat from human-induced land degradation, yet are essential for ecological and human wellbeing. A major store of biodiversity and carbon, they cover 20% of the Earth’s land surface but are increasingly being lost to cropland expansion and misguided afforestation.

The current rate of groundwater extraction exceeds replenishment in 47% of global aquifers, so more efficient irrigation is crucial to reduce agricultural freshwater use.

Globally, the water sector must continue to shift from “grey” infrastructure (dams, reservoirs, channels, treatment plants) to “green” (reforestation, floodplain restoration, forest conservation or recharging aquifers).

More efficient delivery of chemical fertilizer is likewise essential: currently, only 46% of nitrogen and 66% of phosphorus applied as fertilizer is taken up by crops. The rest runs off into freshwater bodies, and coastal areas with dire consequences for the environment.

New technologies

New technologies coupled with big data and artificial intelligence have made possible innovations such as precision farming, remote sensing and drones that detect and combat land degradation in real time. Benefits likewise accrue from the precise application of water, nutrients and pesticides, along with early pest and disease detection.

Plantix, a free app available in 18 languages, can detect nearly 700 pests and diseases on more than 80 different crops. Improved solar cookstoves can provide households with additional income sources and improve livelihoods, while reducing reliance on forest resources.

Regulatory action, stronger land governance, formalisation of land tenure and better corporate transparency on environmental impacts are all needed as well.

Numerous multilateral agreements on land-system change exist but have largely failed to deliver. The Glasgow Declaration to halt deforestation and land degradation by 2030 was signed by 145 countries at the Glasgow climate summit in 2021, but deforestation has increased since then.

Protecting intact peatlands and rewetting 60% of those already degraded could transform such ecosystems into a net sink, or sponge, of greenhouse gases by the end of the century. Currently, damaged peatlands account for 4% to 5% of global GHG emissions, according to the IUCN.

Georgetown, November 21 Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a special session of the Guyana Parliament here on Thursday. He thanked the people of Guyana for this honor and said that there has been a relationship full of warmth and affection between the two countries.

PM Modi said, “Just yesterday, Guyana gave me its highest honor. I heartily thank every citizen of Guyana for this honor. I dedicate this honor to every citizen of India. The relationship between India and Guyana is very deep. It is a relationship of soil, sweat and hard work. About 180 years ago, the first Indian set foot on the land of Guyana. In such a situation, from then till now, in all circumstances, the relationship between India and Guyana has been full of warmth and affection.” PM Modi said that before becoming the Prime Minister, he had visited this beautiful country 24 years ago as a “curious person”. He said that he wanted to know about Guyana’s heritage, wanted to understand its history. He said, “Even today there are many people in Guyana who remember their meetings with me. My visit at that time is full of many memories.”

The Prime Minister, while addressing the Parliament of the Caribbean country, emphasized on the rich democratic tradition. He said, “Today the strongest mantra for moving ahead in front of the world is ‘Democracy First, Humanity First’. The spirit of Democracy First teaches us to take everyone along, take everyone along and participate in everyone’s development. The spirit of Humanity First determines the direction of our decisions. When we make Humanity First the basis of decisions, the results are also in the interest of humanity.”

PM Modi said that today India is fulfilling its duty towards the world as Vishwabandhu. Whatever crisis there is in any country of the world, our honest effort is to reach there by accepting our responsibility. He said, “This is not the time for conflict for the world, but to identify the situations that create conflict and remove them. We have never moved forward with the spirit of expansionism. We have always stayed away from the spirit of capturing and grabbing resources. Today India stands in favor of global development and peace in every way. With this spirit, today India has also become the voice of the ‘Global South’.”

Referring to the historical similarities of the two countries, he said that during the freedom struggle, many people in Guyana and India dedicated their lives. Strengthening democracy in Guyana is contributing to the development of the world at every step. Along with strengthening democracy, we should also keep a constant eye on global situations.

PM Modi said that when India and Guyana got independence, the world had to face different challenges. Today the challenges of the 21st century are completely different. He said, “The systems and organisations established after the Second World War are crumbling. Today we are facing many challenges including terrorism, drug trafficking and cyber crime. We have to confront these issues head on to shape a better future for the coming generations. This can only be achieved by prioritising ‘Democracy First, Humanity First’.”

The Prime Minister said that our democratic values ​​support us in every ups and downs while walking on the path of development. There is no greater tool than democracy in building an inclusive society. Democracy ensures protection of their rights and guarantees a bright future. We have shown that democracy is in our DNA and conduct.

Islamabad, November 21 urram area of ​​​​Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan. Station House Officer Kaleem Shah of Ahmadi Shama gave this information. He said that three women are also among the dead and 11 people have been injured. This is the second major terrorist attack in KP in the last two days.

According to the report of Dawn.com, Home Minister Mohsin Naqvi also gave the same information while talking to the media outside the Islamabad High Court.

Naqvi said, “The last week has been difficult and disturbing, now 38 people have been martyred in Kurram. We see a new incident every day. We are in constant touch with KP officials, KP Inspector General of Police and the Chief Minister. They need help.”

The interior minister said, “KP is one of our provinces, part of our country and we will not leave it behind. We will provide all possible help.”

Giving details of the incident, KP government spokesman Barrister Dr Saif said that first the policemen were attacked and then the convoy of passengers was targeted from both sides. He said, “There were about 200 vehicles in the convoy.”

Dr Saif said that upon receiving the information, the district administration, senior police officials reached the spot. He said that investigation into the incident is underway.

President Asif Ali Zardari strongly condemned the incident and expressed his condolences to the bereaved families of the deceased.

“Attacking innocent passengers is a cowardly and inhuman act,” he was quoted as saying in a post on X by the media cell of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). He said that those responsible for the incident should be punished.

KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur condemned the attack. He directed the Chief Secretary, Provincial Law Minister and a delegation of MNAs and MPAs of the region to immediately visit Kurram and personally assess the situation there and submit a report.

The incident comes amid a sharp rise in the number of terror attacks in Balochistan and KP.

According to reports, the attacks increased after the banned terrorist organization Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) announced to break a fragile ceasefire agreement with the government in 2022 and target security forces.

On Tuesday (November 19), 12 soldiers were killed while six terrorists were killed in a major attack in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). According to Pakistani media, the attack targeted a check post in Mali Khel area of ​​Bannu.

On Tuesday, ‘terrorists attempted to attack a joint check post in the Malikhel area of ​​Bannu district,’ the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.

The ISPR is the media and public relations wing of the Pakistan Armed Forces.

The ISPR said the attack was effectively foiled but a suicide blast caused the checkpost wall and nearby infrastructure to collapse. As a result, 10 soldiers and two Frontier Constabulary jawans were killed.

“In the ensuing gunfight, six terrorists were killed,” the ISPR said.

News agency Xinhua quoted German news agency DPA as saying that the poverty rate of senior citizens in Germany has remained stable in recent years. 3.245 million senior citizens are affected in the year 2023 and 3.157 million in 2022.

However, this figure is quite different from the figure of 2013, when only 2.4 million elderly people were at risk of poverty in Germany.

In fact, the risk of poverty is defined as when a person’s income is less than 60 percent after social benefits.

The elderly population in Germany has increased in the last few years. The elderly population was 12 million in 1991, which increased to 18.7 million in the year 2022.

According to the Federal Statistical Office, this demographic change means that the elderly population has become a large part of the country’s population.

Meanwhile, the debate on the issue of poverty of the elderly has intensified regarding pension reform in the country. There are many differences among German political parties on possible solutions. According to DPA, major changes are unlikely before the formation of a new government.

New Delhi, November 13 . Global investor Mark Mobius has said that Elon Musk, who is heading the New Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under the presidency of Donald Trump in the US, will be successful in reducing a large amount of wasteful expenditure of the US government.

While talking to IANS, Mobius said that Government Efficiency Chief Musk is in a good position to make necessary changes in the US government.

Mark Mobius, who runs the Mobius EM Opportunities Fund, said that this will increase productivity along with efficiency in the US.

Newly elected US President Donald Trump has announced the appointment of Vivek Ramaswami along with veteran industrialist Elon Musk to lead the New Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Both have been given the responsibility of rapidly changing the government by cutting wasteful expenditure.

Trump said DOGE “will probably become the ‘Manhattan Project’ of our time.” He was referring to the US efforts during World War II, in which nuclear weapons were developed in record time.

Trump said, “Both of them will work for my US administration to eliminate bureaucracy, cut wasteful spending, eliminate unnecessary regulations and reorganize federal agencies.”

Musk said that all the work of the Department of Government Efficiency will be posted online to make it more transparent. Whenever the public feels that we are ending something important or not eliminating something useless, let us know. We will also have a leaderboard for the most wasteful expenditure of your tax dollars.

Musk claims that he will be able to cut at least $ 2 trillion (168 lakh crores) in government spending through the new department.

This is a new department, so it is not clear whether its leaders will be in the cabinet or not, whether they will be recognized by the Senate or not and what their positions will be. There will be.
