France pushed back two years. .
The government also rejected demands
by union leaders that the government
reconsider the bill, deepening the crisis.

We have proposed a way out
... and it's intolerable that we
are being stonewalled again, Laurent Berger, Head of the CFDT union, via 'The Independent'.

counter that other approaches could achieve the same goal.

The protests, which began back
in January, have evolved into
widespread anti-Macron sentiment.
This sentiment intensified after
the government invoked special powers to
pass the bill without a parliamentary vote.
According to Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin, authorities have anticipated a "very serious risk to public order" amid the ongoing unrest.
'The Independent' reports that 13,000 police will be
deployed to quell nationwide protests that have
already included clashes with police and vandalism.

US Reveals Stricter , EV Tax Credit Rules.
Reuters reports that the new electric
vehicle tax rules were announced by the
U.S. Treasury Department on March 31.
They will result in reduced or eliminated
tax credits on some electric vehicles.
The new rules, which are intended to wean America off of depending on China's battery supply chains, are set to take effect on April 18.
A revised list of models that qualify for tax credits will also be published at that time.
Reuters reports that Tesla said a
$7,500 tax credit for its Model 3 rear-wheel drive will be reduced as a result.
New conditions were imposed on EV credits within the Inflation Reduction Act that President Biden signed in August.
Such requirements include North American assembly, caps on price and buyer income eligibility, and now, batteries and critical minerals sourcing.
John Bozzella, Alliance for Automotive Innovation CEO, issued a statement.
Some EVs will certainly qualify for
a partial credit. Given the constraints of the legislation, Treasury's done as well as it could to produce rules that meet the statute
and reflect the current market, John Bozzella, Alliance for
Automotive Innovation CEO, via statement.
President Joe Biden has a goal of
making 50% of new vehicle sales in the

Donald Trump has become the first former president who will soon be indicted in a criminal case . This has happened after a grand jury decided to go forward into investigation of hush money payments made on his behalf during the 2016 presidential campaign. Unlike juries that hear trials, grand juries don’t decide whether someone is guilty or innocent. They only decide whether there is sufficient evidence for someone to be charged. The unprecedented indictment comes as Trump faces other legal investigations and has launched a bid to return to the White House in 2024. While the precise charges are secret for now, prosecutors have concluded they can prove a criminal case against Trump. In this video, we explain to you all about this case, how this could affect him…and what this could foretell for Trump’s future. But before that, don’t forget to like, share and subscribe to Oneindia.

The terrorism threat level in Northern Ireland has been raised from “substantial” to “severe” just days before a potential visit to the country by US President Joe Biden. But the White House has said that the change won’t alter the President’s plans. The move, based on an MI5 intelligence assessment, follows a rise in dissident republican activity, including a recent gun attack on a top police officer. This reverses a downgrade in Northern Ireland's terror threat level last March - its first change for 12 years.

An Iranian-origin kamikaze drone has reportedly taken down a Ukrainian air force’s Sukhoi Su-27 fighter, killing the pilot. The Su-27 and its pilot are only the second set of victims of Iranian-origin loitering munitions since the Russia-Ukraine war began over a year ago. The first combat jet victim of the kamikaze drone attack was a MiG-29 aircraft on October 12 over Vinnytsia. But that MiG-29, however, was hit by shrapnel from the exploding drone causing damage to its engine and forcing the pilot to eject, as was later clarified by Ukraine’s State Bureau in a statement. While the exact circumstances surrounding the downing of the Su-27 in the latest case of a combat jet taken down by the drone is unknown, reports have identified the deceased pilot as Denis Kirilyuk, which the 831st Tactical Aviation Brigade has confirmed.
