Campaigners Call for Ban on Marmot Hunting in France -- Animal rights campaigners in France are calling for a national ban on marmot hunting, ahead of the hunting season beginning in September. Around 1,000 marmots are shot in France each year, despite concerns that Alpine populations are declining as climate change disrupts their social groups and reproduction. Campaigners argue hunting them is unnecessary and recreational. Hunters, however, say the species is not endangered and that hunting is already strictly regulated. -- Visit: www.jadetimes.com Photo Credit: DANIEL PERRON/ MATTHIEU DELATY/ STEPHANE DE SAKUTIN -- #France #Marmot #MarmotHunting #AnimalRights #BanMarmotHunting #Wildlife #WildlifeProtection #AnimalProtection #FrenchAlps #Alps #Hunting #HuntingBan #ClimateChange #EndangeredSpecies #WildlifeConservation #AnimalWelfare #FranceNews #EnvironmentalNews #Nature #Biodiversity #AlpineWildlife #Conservation #WorldNews #BreakingNews #NewsUpdate

US Pauses Visa Appointments Worldwide -- The Trump administration has paused visa appointments at US embassies and consulates worldwide, affecting applicants across the globe. The State Department says appointments are being adjusted to allow for a global training programme for consular officers, focused on more comprehensive visa screening. The move comes amid Trump's broader immigration crackdown, which has also targeted legal immigration. The pause follows a recent court ruling striking down a separate policy that had suspended immigrant visa processing for applicants from 75 countries. -- Visit: www.jadetimes.com Photo Credit: -- #USVisa #VisaAppointments #USImmigration #TrumpAdministration #VisaNews #USEmbassy #USConsulate #VisaProcessing #Immigration #ImmigrationNews #TravelToUSA #USVisaNews #VisaScreening #ConsularServices #StateDepartment #Trump #LegalImmigration #ImmigrationPolicy #VisaApplicants #GlobalVisa #USPolitics #WorldNews #BreakingNews #InternationalNews #NewsUpdate

1 in 4 Former NFL Players Had CTE, Study Estimates -- A new study estimates that at least one in four former NFL players who died between 2016 and 2021 had CTE. Researchers examined donated brains from 235 of 878 deceased players, with 215 showing signs of CTE. The disease is linked to repeated head impacts and can only be diagnosed after death. Researchers say reducing repetitive head impacts — particularly during practices and at youth and college levels — could help lower long-term risks. -- Visit: www.jadetimes.com Photo Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images, Nick Cammett / Getty Images, Steven Senne/AP, staticfiles.acronis.com, images.healthandme.com, sports.yahoo.com -- #NFL #NFLNews #FormerNFLPlayers #CTE #ChronicTraumaticEncephalopathy #BrainHealth #BrainInjury #SportsInjury #Football #AmericanFootball #FootballNews #NFLPlayers #NFLStudy #CTEResearch #BrainResearch #Concussion #HeadInjuries #SportsScience #SportsMedicine #AthleteHealth #PlayerSafety #NFLHealth #FootballSafety #YouthFootball #CollegeFootball #SportsHealth #MedicalResearch #HealthNews #SportsNews #NFLCommunity #FootballPlayers #LatestNews #BreakingNews #SportsUpdate #CurrentEvents

China Pushes Back Against New US Sanctions on Iran -- China has condemned new US sanctions targeting Iran and its trading partners, calling the measures “illegal unilateral sanctions” and warning that Beijing will take steps to protect its interests. The US says banks and businesses dealing with Iran could face penalties as Washington seeks to cut off Tehran’s oil revenues and increase economic pressure on the Iranian government. -- China is particularly important because it remains Iran’s biggest oil customer, making Beijing a major test for Washington’s sanctions strategy. The latest measures also target some China- and Hong Kong-based entities, increasing the risk of a wider confrontation between the two economic powers. -- The sanctions come as US-Iran diplomacy remains stalled and the conflict continues to disrupt global energy supplies. Any further escalation could put additional pressure on oil markets, shipping and the wider global economy. -- Visit: www.jtimes.com Photo Credit: -- #China #Iran #US #Sanctions #MiddleEast

HP Signs Wi-Fi Patent Deal With Blacklisted Huawei -- US tech giant HP has signed a multi-year global licensing agreement with Huawei covering Wi-Fi patents, including technology used in the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard.

HP says this is a standard patent-licensing arrangement, not a broader partnership. The agreement follows a patent dispute between the two companies that was settled last year. -- Visit: www.jtimes.com Photo Credit: -- #HP #Huawei #WiFi7 #TechNews #USChina
