WASHINGTON - The U.S. is putting new restrictions into place at its southern border to try to stop migrants from crossing illegally and encourage them instead to apply for asylum online through a new process.The changes come with the end of coronavirus restrictions on asylum that have allowed the U.S.

to quickly turn back migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border for the past three years. Those restrictions are known as Title 42, because the authority comes from Title 42 of a 1944 public health law allowing curbs on migration in the name of protecting public health.Migrants entering the USA wait in a long line at the border with Mexico, in the early morning hours of the last day of Title 42, in Yuma, Arizona, on May 11, 2023.

A look at the new rules (and the old ones):Title 42 is the name of an emergency health authority. It was a holdover from President Donald Trump's administration and began in March 2020.

The authority allowed U.S. officials to turn away migrants who came to the U.S.-Mexico border on the grounds of preventing the spread of COVID-19.Before that, migrants could cross illegally, ask for asylum and be allowed into the U.S.

Rubber bales from WWII-era German cargo ship wash up along Texas beaches
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - A stroll along the Texas coastline may provide you with sights of sargassum seaweed, but on rare occasions, beachgoers have stumbled upon cargo from a World War II-era shipwreck that continues to occasionally float ashore.Visitors at Mustang Island State Park, outside of Corpus Christi, Texas, are the latest to discover one of the unassuming bales that were washed ashore by the currents of the Gulf of Mexico.A park ranger took to the site’s social media to show off the discovery and to point out that there is always the chance of something more substantial than a seashell or a patch of seaweed on the sand.According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, it is running off the assumption the bale is tied to similar discoveries over the years across the Gulf Coast as well as Central and South America.March 30, 2022: A mass of rubber washed ashore South Texas (Padre Island National Seashore / FOX Weather) Jace Tunnell, a reserve director at the University of Texas’s Marine Science Institute, has studied several of these sightings and previously tied occurrences to an old shipwreck off of Brazil."These are folded rubber mats that have been put together and then wrapped again with a big one. And so, these are actually thought to be from a 1944 ship," Tunnel previously stated in a video for the Mission-Aransas National Estuarine Research Reserve.

End of free COVID-19 test kits in pharmacies for most Quebecers
COVID-19 rapid tests for free at their local pharmacies as of Monday.Those who are considered to be at high risk of complications from the disease — including immunocompromised and pregnant people — will still be able to pick up test kits at no additional cost until April 2024.Seniors, full-time students under the age of 25 and children who benefit from free medication under the province’s drug insurance plan will also still have access to free COVID-19 tests, according to the Health Ministry.The ministry, which announced the move in late March, cited the improving pandemic situation in Quebec as the reason for scaling back the program.Quebec’s pharmacists association, the Association québécoise des pharmaciens propriétaires (AQPP), said those who do not meet the criteria for no-charge tests will still be able to buy kits in pharmacies.“Since the start of the program, Quebec pharmacies have distributed nearly 9,250,000 kits of self-administered tests,” AQPP president Benoit Morin said in a statement.In December 2021, the government announced that COVID-19 rapid tests would be made available to the general population through select pharmacies. People would have access to five free tests every 30 days.The Health Ministry says COVID-19 tests will continue to be distributed for free in schools and child-care centres.— with files from Global’s Felicia Parrillo and The Canadian Press
