According to data from the U.N. migration agency, the border between the United States and Mexico is the world's worst land migration route, with hundreds of people dying while trying to traverse the treacherous desert.

The Ukrainian leader arrived in US After another wave of russian strikes, hitting cities across the country, killing at least 3 people in Kherson and wounding many in other areas. Wearing his trademark olive green military-style shirt, Zelensky said Ukraine has exactly what our soldiers need. But behind the visuals - firm handshakes across a grand cabinet table and shows of solidarity in the Oval Office - lay the fact that Zelensky's second wartime trip to the USA was far tougher than the first. This time, he spent his closed-door meetings in the U.S. Congress desperately trying to overcome growing war fatigue from Republicans. Despite the U.S. and allies’ continued ambitious efforts to bolster the Ukrainians, there are no signs of an endgame in the war. The conflict seems destined to enter an even more complicated phase in the months ahead.

<p>The Biden administration announced Wednesday that it is providing $600 million in funding to produce new at-home COVID-19 tests and is restarting a website allowing Americans to order up to four free tests per household — aiming to prevent possible shortages during a rise in coronavirus cases that has typically come during colder months.</p>

<p>The Department of Health and Human Services says orders can be placed at COVIDTests.gov starting September 25, and that no-cost tests will be delivered for free by the United States Postal Service.</p>

<p>Twelve manufacturers that employ hundreds of people in seven states have been awarded funding and will produce 200 million over-the-counter tests to replenish federal stockpiles for government use, in addition to producing enough tests to meet demand for tests ordered online, the department said.</p>

<p>Federal officials said that will help guard against supply chain issues that sparked some shortages of at-home COVID tests made overseas during past surges in coronavirus cases.</p>

<p>Dawn O'Connell, assistant secretary for preparedness and response at HHS, said the website will remain functional to receive orders through the holidays and “we reserve the right to keep it open even longer if we're starting to see an increase in cases”.</p>

<p>“If there is a demand for these tests, we want to make sure that they're made available to the American people for free in this way,” O'Connell said. “But, at this point, our focus is getting through the holidays and making sure folks can take a test if they're going to see Grandma for Thanksgiving."</p>

<p>The tests are designed to detect COVID variants currently circulating, and are intended for use by the end of the year. But they will include instructions on how to verify extended expiration dates, the department said.</p>

<p>The initiative follows four previous rounds where federal officials and the US Postal Service provided more than 755 million tests for free to homes nationwide.</p>

<p>It is also meant to complement ongoing federal efforts to provide free COVID tests to long-term care facilities, schools, low-income senior housing, uninsured individuals and underserved communities which are already distributing 4 million per week and have distributed 500 million tests to date, the department said.</p>

<p>O'Connell said manufacturers would be able to spread out the 200 million tests they will produce for federal use over 18 months. That means that, as demand for home tests rises via the website or at US retailers when COVID cases increase around the country, producers can focus on meeting those orders — but that they will then have an additional outlet for the tests they produce during period when demand declines.</p>

<p>“We've seen every winter, as people move indoors into heated spaces, away from the outside that, over each of the seasons that COVID's been a concern, that we have seen cases go up," O'Connell said.</p>

<p>She added that also “there's always an opportunity or chance for another variant to come” but “we're not anticipating that”.</p>

<p>HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra said that the "Biden-Harris administration, in partnership with domestic manufacturers, has made great strides in addressing vulnerabilities in the US supply chain by reducing our reliance on overseas manufacturing”.</p>

<p>China's tariffs, according to the commerce ministry's announcement on Tuesday, were enacted in retaliation for “unilateral and protectionist” actions taken by the US. The conflict began during the early stages of Trump's trade war, when his government levied 10% per cent tariffs on imports of aluminium and 25 per cent tariffs on steel from around the world.</p>

<p>If “serious progress” is not made towards a resolution, the United Auto Workers (UAW)have warned to extend their historic strike against Detroit's Big Three automakers on Friday, according to a report by The Washington Post.</p>

<p>UAW President Shawn Fain gave General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis until noon on Friday, which will mark one week since the union started striking at three factories, one at each company, in a video uploaded late Monday. The industry is transitioning to electric vehicles, which could result in additional plant closures. The union is asking for a significant pay rise, improved benefits, and more employment protections.</p>

<p>“We’re going to keep hitting the company where we need to, when we need to,” The Washington Post quoted Fain as saying. “And we’re not going to keep waiting around forever while they drag this out.”</p>

<p>The strike's participating factories were not disclosed by Fain. He also refrained from announcing that provisional agreements would be required to prevent further strikes and did not define what would constitute “serious progress.” The current strikes affect the Wentzville, Missouri, GM van and truck facility, the Toledo Stellantis plant that manufactures the Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator, and the Wayne, Michigan, Ford plant that produces the Ranger pickup and Bronco SUV.</p>

<p>Separately, Ford and the employees' union, Unifor, avoided a strike on Tuesday by coming to a tentative contract agreement. The union said the agreement made "fundamental, transformative gains that addressed our core priorities of pensions, wages, and the EV transition." Late on Tuesday, the union and Ford announced that they had achieved an agreement.</p>

<p>Both parties declined to provide details, stating that the workers must yet ratify the arrangement. The agreement was reached just after 5,600 Ford employees and Unifor announced they were prepared to strike. An engine manufacturing facility in Windsor, Ontario, which produces engines for the business's extremely lucrative F-series trucks, was one of the workplaces threatening a work stoppage.</p>

<p>When Unifor announced the tentative agreement, it claimed that it had “used the most potent tool at our union's disposal: the right to strike.”</p>

<p>Although Unifor is also in negotiations with GM and Stellantis, it has decided to put its current agreements with those businesses on hold in order to concentrate on discussions with Ford.</p>

<p>The UAW and the automakers in the United States are still at odds over the provisions of a new, four-year contract. The automakers are only willing to provide roughly 20 per cent of the 36 per cent wage raise the union is asking for over a four-year period.</p>

<p>The current system of tiered pay for employees is nevertheless a source of contention because younger workers receive lower pay and perks or spend years in a temporary employment status. The businesses have offered to reduce the time it takes for employees to reach the top salary rate and have suggested raising the starting pay for temporary employees by 20 per cent, to $20 per hour. They did not, however, give in to all of the union's demands.</p>

<p>Following Fain's comments late Monday, Ford stated that it has conceded a lot in the negotiations and is still committed to reaching an agreement. Ford is providing certain compensation adjustments for the cost of living, additional contributions to employees' retirement savings, and more paid time off in addition to 20 per cent wage increases spread over four years</p>
