 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Nolan's work has now been seen by well over 100 million people in dozens of countries, resulting in some $1 billion in box office revenue. It has collected 333 film awards internationally. The Biden administration reiterated on Monday that the United States has no "red lines" for the war crimes it allows Israel to commit with US weapons, amid mounting global opposition to Israel's genocide and deliberate starvation of the population of Gaza. The US and its imperialist allies are trying to cobble together a "transitional government" supported by all the warring factions of Haiti's corrupt political elite to provide a fig-leaf of "national unity" and "legality" for another foreign military intervention in the western hemisphere's most impoverished country. Revelations during the trial further confirm that US imperialism is ultimately responsible for the extreme poverty and violence that plague Central America. In an extended March 10 interview, Kishore and White outlined a socialist program in response to the myriad crises facing humanity, none of which can be resolved within the confines of the capitalist system. The budget document combines massive military outlays with false and demagogic promises of health and education spending to be funded by tax increases on the wealthy. President Biden said on Friday he would sign an anti-Chinese bill that would ban TikTok if the social media app is not sold by its Beijing-based owner ByteDance to a US company within six months of the law's adoption. Every year, millions are temporarily or permanently displaced and tens of thousands die from the impacts of climate change, none of which has ever been seriously addressed by capitalist governments. With the announcement of CDC's policy shift towards COVID, the White House has suspended the program that provided free rapid antigen tests to Americans. During China's National People's Congress last week, officials from some of the country's most indebted provinces met with leading state banks to negotiate debt repayments on billions of dollars of liabilities. Last week's meetings attracted workers, students and others horrified by Israel's military barbarism but wanting to go beyond the fruitless appeals to the Albanese Labor government which maintains unwavering support for Israel and its war crimes. The Queensland GP spoke about the ongoing doxxing and victimisation of medical practitioners who have opposed Israel's onslaught against the Palestinian people. Addressing a business summit, Treasurer Jim Chalmers signalled the Labor government's push for a bipartisan front to satisfy the demands of big business in the leadup to the next federal election. District officials have boasted that the proposed contract stayed within their budget limits and will not add to the school system's deficit. The new agreement will undoubtedly ring alarm bells in New Delhi and also Washington as the US and India heighten their confrontation with China throughout South Asia. With the "new era in the health care system" announced by federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, health care spending will be further slashed in favour of military armaments. Binding interest arbitration is a thoroughly undemocratic measure through which a pro-management contract will be imposed without even a vote by workers. It is mandated by anti-worker laws in the US which for decades have banned strikes by federal workers. Teachers, aeronautical workers, river boat operators and others have launched strikes against Argentina's soaring cost of living while 5,000 city workers in Edmonton have decisively rejected management's "last, best and final offer." Bill C-58 would amend the Canadian Labour Code to limit the ability of federally-regulated employers to use replacement workers during a labour dispute while further limiting workers' ability to strike. "The point has been reached where they only want you to teach what the system is prepared to allow, hiding what doesn't suit them politically. It's all biased." "People shouldn't feel frightened to speak out against the genocide. Don't let their threats intimidate you," said 16-year-old Ella from Inverness. On Friday, the SENS-UAW claimed it had won a "groundbreaking" tentative agreement and shut down the strike, without a vote by workers and without releasing the full details of the proposed contract.
