Independent agencies will be licensed to conduct assessment and conformity tests on passenger vehicle body construction, and not the bus manufacturers themselves. The move to enforce new standards was prompted by rising road fatalities, many of which are linked to poor workmanship and unsafe bus body construction. The Transport Licencing Appeals Board (TLAB) directed the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) to forthwith ensure that no motor vehicle manufacturer conducts conformity assessments. “We find and hold that it is irregular for a motor vehicle manufacturer to conduct conformity assessments on its own vehicles either directly or through a proxy arrangement…
The US government has released the final batch of documents on the assassination of President John F Kennedy – a case that still sparks conspiracy theories over 60 years later.

Experts are combing over the documents, but have said they do not expect many ground-breaking revelations. Trump expected 80,000 pages of records to be unsealed. US authorities have previously released hundreds of thousands of JFK documents, but held some back, citing national security concerns. Many Americans still…

Imamoglu wrote on social media that “the…

The chief justice of the US Supreme Court has released a rare statement in response to President Donald Trump’s call to impeach a judge who ruled against his administration over migrant deportations. “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision,” Chief Justice John Roberts said in a statement. He added that the “normal appellate review process exists for that purpose”. Trump earlier referred to US District Judge James Boasberg as a “troublemaker and agitator” after he ordered the administration to halt deportations of accused gang members…

President Trump has said “many” pardons issued by Joe Biden are void because the former president signed them with “autopen” – a device which reproduces a person’s signature – rather than by hand.

And US government documents have the same presidential signature when they’re stored in the Federal Register – a digital archive – and this was the case under Trump as well as under Biden.
