He called on the Sudanese to go out to "the streets in the neighborhoods of all cities, villages and the Furqan ... and occupy them completely, and prepare to resist any military coup regardless of the forces behind it."

  Former US President Donald Trump said the United States was "poisoned" by the wave of migrants coming across the border, and called for the resumption of construction of the border wall with Mexico Our country is poisoned by the millions of people who illegally stream across our borders, and in most cases have not been questioned or stopped,” Trump said in a statement. "Many of those who streamed across the border are criminals from prisons that have been emptied in other countries, and most of them are very dangerous people," he said. And he added, "Our country is dying from within, and no one is doing anything to help it. The first thing that must be done quickly is to complete the wall." An agreement must be made with Mexico so that it can act as a barrier over 2,000 miles, and not as a springboard for illegal immigrants," he said. Trump also raised concerns about moving Afghan allies to the United States after the Biden administration withdrew f...

  Surgeons transplanted a pig's kidney into a human without the recipient's immune system rejecting the transplant, a major advance that could eventually lead to alleviating a severe shortage of transplant-ready human organs. The operation took place at NYU Langone Health University in New York, where the kidney was taken from a pig after making a change to its genes so that its tissues no longer contain the molecule that helps to polarize the recipient’s immune system, and therefore it was not rejected by the recipient. The patient for whom the kidney was transplanted was suffering from brain death and had impaired kidney functions. After obtaining approval from her family to conduct the experiment, she was transferred from the recovery room to the operating room. The researchers attached the kidney to its blood vessels and kept it outside the body for three days. After performing the kidney functions of the patient, it was found to be normal and creatinine returned to its nor...

  Chris Speer, president and CEO of the American Trucking Association, says the coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the transportation sector's vulnerabilities with a record shortage of trucks, and that the solution lies in training younger people. In an interview with CNN, Mr. Speer said the United States is grappling with a truck driver shortage of 80,000 drivers, a shortfall that is more than 30% higher than it was before the pandemic, when the industry already faced a labor shortage of 61,500 drivers. He attributed the reason for this to the fact that many drivers are retiring and leaving the profession, in addition to the increase in consumer demand after the lifting of the closure. He explained that the supply chains that were disrupted during the global health crisis are still facing huge challenges and struggling to recover, after they were in a state of closure and low industrial activity. This comes at a time when US ports are piling up - primarily because there are too ...
