Newsday

Available for over a year

US President Donald Trump has outlined plans for a new US immigration system designed to favour younger, better educated, English-speaking workers; the northern Syrian province of Idlib is the last stronghold of rebel forces in Syria, and is coming under renewed attack by Syrian government and Russian forces; and a crime reporter has been killed in Mexico - the latest in a rising death toll of journalists under the government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
