AI Summary:
British Steel may soon run out of the iron pellets used to produce steel in two massive blast furnaces unless the government steps in. The news comes two weeks after British Steel said it was considering closing the blast furnace. British Steel rejected an offer of 500 million pounds ($640 million) to help modernize the plant. Britain, the world’s fifth-largest steelmaker in 1970, produced just 5.6 million tons of steel in 2023, or 0.3% of global output. By comparison China produced 1.02 billion tons, or 54% of worldwide production. Most have shifted to electric arc furnaces that make steel from recycled material. Industry Minister Sarah Jones says Jingye is continuing to talk with the government. "We have been clear in our belief that the best way forward is for Scunthorpe and British Steel to continue as a commercially-run business with private investment"

The Save the Children charity says the deaths were recorded in Jonglei state. Some 20 others are partially run by volunteers but cannot transport patients as they did prior to the cuts. This is the latest fallout from the termination of USAID programs in conflict-hit countries across the East Africa. World Food Program warns hunger in South Sudan is nearing record highs.

AI Summary:
The United States had initially cut funding for projects in more than a dozen countries. Aid officials warned the cuts would deny food to millions of people. The administration informed the World Food Program of its reversal on Tuesday. More than half of Afghanistan's population — some 23 million people — need humanitarian assistance. It's a crisis caused by decades of conflict — including the 20-year U.S. War with the Taliban. Last year, the United States provided 43% of all international humanitarian funding to Afghanistan. The U.S. Cuts would end life-saving food assistance to 2.4 million people and halt nutritional care for 100,000 children, according to the WFP assessment. The latest cuts would affect southern Yemen, where the internationally recognized government opposed to the Houthis is based.

AI Summary:
LaLiga leaders Barcelona host Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals on Wednesday. It is the first time the sides have met in the knockout stage of the tournament. Barcelona are favourites for the opening leg and are unbeaten in 2025. Pau Cubarsi is back with the team after serving a one-game suspension. Striker Robert Lewandowski will line up against his former team. Barcelona will again roll out their world-class winger partnership of Raphinha and Lamine Yamal. Versatile defensive midfielder Pascal Gross will also miss the match. I wish all the best to their injured players. They have very good players, and it is a shame [about their injuries] but they have enough players to cover their absences.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has joined the burgeoning population of El Salvador's notorious Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), which specialises in terrorising confined people. Married to a US citizen and the father of a five-year-old autistic child, Abro Garcia arrived in the US more than a decade ago after fleeing gang violence at home. The CECOT is the pride and joy of Nayib Bukele, El Salvador’ 50,000 Palestinians have been slaughtered since October 2023. Since Israel broke the ceasefire in March, the United Nations reports that at least 100 children have been killed or injured in Gaza daily. To that end, the US government has set about disappearing people like Rumeysa Ozturk. Ozturk’s visa has now been revoked. For one thing, it hastens the slippery slope into what is already a near-total dystopia. The official assault on freedoms of speech and thought is also a means of eliminating the right to personal integrity. Ranjani Srinivasan, 37, a doctoral candidate in urban planning, whose student visa was revoked on March 5. There’s 21-year-old Columbia student Yunseo Chung, who was arrested for attending a pro-Palestine protest at Manhattan’s Barnard College. There’s Iranian national Alireza Doroudi who was deported in March following a visit to family in Lebanon. The US is in all-out kidnapping mode – and it’s only a matter of time before we find out just who else is deemed to be a “threat to US foreign policy interests”
