Feuding Trump and Musk are now not expected to speak on Friday
[WASHINGTON] US President Donald Trump and his one-time close ally billionaire Elon Musk were now not expected to talk on Friday (Jun 6), despite efforts by White House aides to get a truce after a huge public clash the previous day. A White House official told Reuters that no call was planned for Friday. A White House official had said earlier that the two men would speak on Friday. A call could ease the feuding after an extraordinary day of hostilities – largely conducted over social media – that marked a stark end to a close alliance. Shares in Musk's Tesla closed down over 14 per cent on Thursday, losing about US$150 billion in market value in the largest single-day decline in value in the electric vehicle maker's history. In pre-market trading on Friday they pared some of those losses, rising as much as 5 per cent after the early news that the two men were scheduled to speak. Musk had bankrolled a large part of Trump's presidential campaign and was then brought as one of the president's most visible advisers, heading up a sweeping and controversial effort to downsize the federal workforce and slash spending. The verbal punches erupted on Thursday after Trump criticised Musk in the Oval Office and the pair then traded barbs on their social media platforms: Trump's Truth Social and Musk's X. The falling-out had begun brewing days ago when Musk, who left his role as head of the Department of government Efficiency a week ago, denounced Trump's sweeping tax-cut and spending Bill. REUTERS

Survivors of Spain's Franco-era 'fallen women' centres seek apology, recognition

REUTERS/Ana Beltran MADRID/VALENCIA - Consuelo Garcia del Cid was 16 when the family doctor came into her bedroom in Barcelona, Spain with her mother in 1974, grabbed her left arm and pushed a needle into a vein. She blacked out then woke up in a strange room a day's drive away in Madrid - one of thousands of girls and young women who were accused of a range of perceived moral failings and taken to state-run Catholic rehabilitation institutions during the dictatorship of Francisco Franco. On Monday, a Catholic body that includes most of the communities of nuns that helped operate some of the centres, will hold a ceremony to formally ask the women for forgiveness, the first event of its kind in Spain, announced in April but delayed by the death of Pope Francis. A start, but not enough, say campaigners who want a national apology for what they went through in the network of Patronato de Proteccion a la Mujer (Board for the Protection of Women) institutes - along the lines of Ireland's 2013 apology for the abuses in its Magdalene Laundries. "It's just the tip of the iceberg," said Pilar Dasi, 73, who spent several months at a centre in Valencia in 1971. "The event is good for the Church as it cleans its own image, but the government must also act." She said she was held after her cousin, a police officer, reported her for keeping "bad company", a reference to left-wing boyfriends. The operation was set up in 1941 by Franco's Justice Ministry, overseen by the board chaired by his wife Carmen Polo. It was active until 1985, 10 years after Franco's death. Spain's Democratic Memory Ministry - a body set up to tackle the legacy of Spain's civil war and Franco's regime - told Reuters it applauded the decision by the Spanish Confederation of Religious Entities (CONFER) to ask for forgiveness. The ministry said in a statement it hoped to hold its own ceremony later this year that would recognise the women as victims of the Franco regime. "They will be considered victims and will be given a declaration of recognition and reparation," it said, without going into further detail on the timing or substance of any event. Garcia del Cid said her family had called in the doctor in 1974 because they were worried about what they saw as her rebelliousness after she attended a number of demonstrations against the dictatorship. The centre where she went was "a sinister place, with extreme religious indoctrination, and life was reduced to working, scrubbing and praying," said the now 66-year-old who has written five books on the subject. "If you are told all day long that you are crazy, a slut, a lost cause, on the wrong path, there comes a point when you might start to believe it if you don't have a strong inner core." She said she was held until 1976. 'HORROR OF HORRORS' The institutes took girls and women aged up to 25, including single mothers, children of prisoners, and those reported by priests, neighbours or their families for deviating from strict Catholic moral standards. The centres sought to rehabilitate them, survivors say, through work and instruction. "A bad woman could be a girl who smoked, a girl who talked back like me, a girl who skipped school, wore miniskirts, kissed her boyfriend in the back row of the cinema," said 67-year-old Mariaje Lopez, who was placed in a centre from 1965 to 1970. "Girls who got pregnant were also considered bad girls, and often no one asked who the father was." One of the most feared centres was Penagrande maternity centre on the outskirts of Madrid, where many young women were pressured to give up their babies for adoption, campaign group Banished Daughters of Eve says. "Penagrande was the horror of horrors. It was scary to have a child there. Any child who went up to the infirmary never came back. They were given to other families, or sold, or whatever. We were told they died," said Paca Blanco, 76, who was in and out of several board centres between 1967 and 1969. CONFER - representing 403 Catholic congregations - announced in April it would hold a forgiveness ceremony, saying it took the step after listening to the experiences of survivors and conducting its own research. "It helps (the survivors) to live that moment of healing and liberation and... us as congregations also to improve our way of dealing with these realities," CONFER chairman Jesus Diaz Sariego told Reuters. The Spanish Conference of Bishops referred questions to CONFER, saying the Confederation was an independent body. The Vatican did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Garcia del Cid said she would be at the CONFER event that she saw as a step towards her and the thousands of others being recognised as victims of Franco's regime. But more was needed. "I will be buried with this," she told Reuters. "It was the greatest atrocity Spain has committed against women." REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

Europe seeks to welcome more Chinese students but it has visa restrictions even before US crackdown
At University College London, tuition fees from Chinese students are reputed to account for around 10 per cent of revenues. PHOTO: REUTERS Europe seeks to welcome more Chinese students but it has visa restrictions even before US crackdown – Universities across Europe are planning to attract more Chinese students after President Donald Trump's administration announced its latest crackdown on visas for Chinese nationals studying in the US. Hope for a boost in Chinese enrolment numbers is particularly strong in British universities, where Chinese students registered at higher educational establishments generate an estimated £5.5 billion (S$9.6 billion) in yearly revenues, accounting for about half of the income British universities receive from international students who pay full, rather than heavily subsidised, tuition fees. Even before the latest US immigration restrictions were introduced, an uptick in Chinese applications to British universities was under way. A study by Knight Frank, a consultancy, noted that in January 2025, just as President Trump was about to be sworn into office on Jan 20 , applications from China to study in British universities surged by 8.9 per cent. 'We remain dedicated to welcome the brightest and the best to study with us,' said Dr Michael Spence, president of University College London, where tuition fees from Chinese students are reputed to account for around 10 per cent of revenues. Comparable top educational establishments throughout Europe are making similar statements. While European officials claim to be shocked by the recently imposed US immigration restrictions on the admission of Chinese students, the reality is that European governments have imposed similar curbs for many years. Such European restrictions, however, very rarely affect undergraduates from China. Still, they are increasingly restrictive on Chinese nationals wishing to register for postgraduate degrees in leading scientific disciplines. Britain introduced its Academic Technology Approval Scheme (Atas) in 2007. This requires citizens of countries who need visas to come to Britain – such as China – to get special clearance if they wish to engage in postgraduate studies in dual-use disciplines that could be useful in manufacturing weapons or the handling of substances essential in producing weapons of mass destruction. Atas was expanded in 2020 to apply not only to weapons of mass destruction technologies but also to all advanced conventional military technologies, thereby encompassing a broad range of physics, engineering and computer science disciplines. The scheme was further expanded in 2021 to encompass both foreign researchers and postgraduate students. The British government is reluctant to discuss this scheme extensively or the nationality of the researchers and postgraduate students whose visas were rejected under Atas. But inquiries conducted by The Guardian, a British broadsheet newspaper, reveal that around 1,100 scientists and aspiring postgraduate students were refused entry in 2022 – the last period for which consolidated statistics are available – on national security grounds. This represented a small share of the total 50,000 applications submitted under Atas that year. Chinese nationals under the spotlight Still, total British visa refusals to researchers and students under this scheme have jumped almost tenfold from figures recorded in 2020, when the Atas provisions were first tightened. A majority of those denied entry are Chinese nationals. Similar measures are now being discussed elsewhere in Europe. The European Union's Council, representing the heads of state and governments of the EU's 27 member-states, has issued guidance documents urging European nations to consider the security implications of their international academic research cooperation. Most of these documents date back to 2022 and were clearly prompted by the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, as well as growing disquiet about China's response to the conflict and intensified technology competition. China has abstained from voting on United Nations resolution that condemned Russia's invasion. Denying visas to researchers and postgraduate students remains the responsibility of individual EU nations. Still, EU institutions have continued to sound alarm bells at what they term 'tech leakage' to foreign researchers registered at the continent's top academic institutions. This is an 'emerging risk', said Ms Iliana Ivanova, who until recently served as the European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth. Europe 'cannot afford any longer to be naive', she added. In January 2024, Ms Ivanova suggested that European universities engaged in sensitive technological research on microchips, quantum, biotech and artificial intelligence should accept the appointment of 'liaison officers' from their respective nations' intelligence agencies to advise academics on how to deal with foreign researchers who may be engaged in spying. The Netherlands, home to Europe's most advanced research into semiconductors, has already set up a single office dealing with the security implications of applications from foreign researchers at its national universities. Much of the attention is on Chinese nationals connected to seven universities affiliated with China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, popularly referred to as the 'Seven Sons of National Defence'. These include the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and the Harbin Engineering University. Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands – one of the world's leading technical universities – no longer accepts researchers from these seven Chinese establishments. But other European universities are barring Chinese scholars not so much due to their affiliations but more because of who funds their research in Europe. For instance, the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in southern Germany, ranked among the top in the country's engineering and computer sciences, decided in 2023 to deny admission to doctoral students from China if the China Scholarship Council funded them. This was due to fears that information from any joint research could end up in the hands of the Chinese government. Even educational establishments in historically neutral Switzerland are restricting access to some Chinese researchers. ETH Zurich, renowned for its pioneering engineering and scientific research, issued a detailed outline in October 2024 of its new rules for foreign students applying for master's and doctoral degrees. The Swiss guidelines are stricter than those of other European universities in mandating the prior vetting of research students from China, particularly those with ties to military-linked universities. All university administrators in Europe continue to claim that they see no reason why such measures should restrict the majority of academic exchanges. Still, the reality remains that Europe's criticism of recent US measures restricting visas to Chinese students deserves to be taken with a large pinch of salt.
