06:38 Uhr Trump will internationalen Studenten für Arbeitserlaubnis bis zu 70.000 Dollar abverlangen

Die Trump-Regierung plant drastisch höhere Gebühren für internationale Studenten, die nach oder während ihres Studiums in den USA arbeiten wollen. F-1-Studenten sollen für das sogenannte Optional Practical Training künftig 70.000 Dollar zahlen, statt derzeit rund 500 Dollar. Für eine zusätzliche praktische Ausbildung wären weitere 30.000 Dollar fällig. Das Heimatschutzministerium begründet den Vorstoß mit Betrugsbekämpfung, dem Schutz amerikanischer Arbeitnehmer und einer strengeren Kontrolle des Einwanderungssystems. Betroffen wären besonders ausländische Absolventen aus Wissenschaft, Technik, Ingenieurwesen und Mathematik, für die OPT häufig der Übergang zu einem H-1B-Visum ist. Der Vorschlag durchläuft zunächst eine 30-tägige öffentliche Anhörungsfrist und dürfte nach Einschätzung von Kritikern vor Gericht angefochten werden.

04.44 PM 84 Percent See AI as a Threat to Jobs: Majority Says Trump and Congress Are Not Doing Enough

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows just how much distrust of artificial intelligence has grown in the United States. 84 percent of registered voters see AI as a threat to American jobs. 57 percent say the Trump administration is not taking the risks seriously enough, or at all, while 54 percent say the same about Congress. 62 percent fear AI could get out of control and threaten the future of humanity. At the same time, a bipartisan majority supports stricter government regulation, including 80 percent of Democrats and 61 percent of Republicans. 56 percent also want limits on the construction of new data centers. Skepticism is especially strong when it comes to the military: 57 percent oppose allowing AI to determine targets for military strikes. The poll surveyed 4,506 adults, including 3,526 registered voters, and has a margin of error of 2 percentage points.

06:08 AM North Korea Backs China on Taiwan and Promises Continued Support for Russia

North Korea is sharply attacking the United States over its arms sales to Taiwan and warning Washington against a direct confrontation with China. Kim Jong Un had already pledged Xi Jinping his full support for the “One China” principle in June. At the same time, Kim reaffirmed continued cooperation with Russia in a birthday message to Vladimir Putin and described its war as a “sacred war of justice” that would end in victory. According to Ukrainian and South Korean estimates, North Korea has sent around 14,000 to 15,000 troops to support Russia since 2024. Relations between Pyongyang and Moscow have grown significantly closer since their mutual defense pact in 2024.

06:04 AM Mysterious Plague Death in Russia: Rubio Demands Answers, Trump Announces Call With Putin

An employee at a Russian plague research institute in Siberia fell ill under circumstances that have not yet been disclosed and died on Friday. Dozens of contacts were placed under quarantine, while Russian authorities say the situation is under control. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is nevertheless demanding more information and says Washington is watching the situation “hour by hour.” The United States could help Russia if the incident turns out to be more serious than has so far been acknowledged. Donald Trump also announced an upcoming phone call with Vladimir Putin and said more could probably be reported on the ongoing discussions on Wednesday.

01:10 PM For the First Time, the AfD Takes the Top Post in a German Parliament: Tobias Rausch Becomes State Parliament President

The state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt has elected AfD Secretary-General Tobias Rausch as its president with 48 votes. The AfD and BSW together hold only 44 seats, meaning at least 4 votes came from other parliamentary groups. Rausch is the first AfD politician ever to lead a German parliament and plans to remain his party’s secretary-general at the same time. AfD lead candidate Ulrich Siegmund is already treating the result as a test for his planned bid to become state premier in December. In his first speech, Rausch promised to serve as president of the entire state parliament. At the same time, the AfD and BSW had previously used their joint majority to force through a seating arrangement that the Greens explicitly opposed.

11:35 AM Former BND Chief August Hanning Arrested - Suspected of Treason and Secret Intelligence Activity

BKA investigators arrested former BND president August Hanning early in the morning at his home near Münster. Federal prosecutors are investigating him on suspicion of treasonous espionage, attempted treason and secret intelligence activity. A former senior BND official is alleged to have supplied Hanning with around 2,000 top-secret documents for money until at least 2022, including sensitive reports on Iran’s nuclear program and the Russian military. Hanning is alleged to have used the material at least once to prepare a security analysis for a foreign intelligence service and to have used internal intelligence in communications with an agent. According to current information, Russia is not involved. The case began to unfold after investigators found sensitive material linked to Hanning during searches connected to the Christina Block case. If the allegations are confirmed, it would amount to a historic intelligence scandal, because never before has a former BND president faced suspicion of treason on this scale.
