Health Canada is introducing warning labels on individual cigarettes in an effort to reduce smoking rates in Canada. The labels, which will be in English and French, will include messages such as "poison in every puff," "tobacco smoke harms children" and "cigarettes cause impotence." King-size cigarettes will be the first to feature the warnings, with regular-size cigarettes and little cigars with tipping paper and tubes following by the end of April 2025. This makes Canada the first country in the world to have warning labels on individual cigarettes.

The Biden administration has finalized a sweeping restriction on asylum that will disqualify migrants from U.S. protection if they fail to request refugee status in a third country before arriving in the United States. The regulation is intended to discourage illegal immigration and protect the safety of migrants, while also reducing the backlog of asylum cases in the U.S. immigration system. Hundreds of U.S. asylum officers have been trained to enforce the restriction and it is expected to be published on Wednesday, just before Title 42 is set to expire.

DeSantis is seen as the biggest challenger to former President Donald Trump in the 2024 race, and his trip to Japan is a sign that he is taking the competition seriously.
On Saturday, a fireball was seen cutting across the sky in New Brunswick, Canada, in broad daylight. NASA's Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science (ARES) Lab was able to calculate the "strewn field" where fragments of the meteor might be found near Calais, Maine. In response, the Maine Mineral & Gem Museum has announced a $25,000 reward for a kilogram of the meteorite and is asking anyone who witnessed the fireball to remember its path and contact them if they find any fragments.
OCEARCH tracked a massive 1,400-pound great white shark, named Breton, off the coast of North Carolina this weekend. Breton's migration data showed that the shark pinged off the coast of North Carolina in late March of 2023, indicating that the Outer Banks are a common spring staging area for great whites before they migrate north for the summer. OCEARCH's data provides insight into the behavior and migration patterns of great whites, which can help inform conservation efforts and protect these animals.
