🇮🇳 India announced plans to enact a citizenship law that excludes Muslims. The law grants Indian nationality to people from six different religious minorities who entered India from Pakistan, Afghanistan, or Bangladesh before December 2014 – but excludes citizenship for Muslims, who make up a majority of those three nations. The law was passed in 2019, but the Indian government delayed its implementation in response to nationwide protests, with critics saying the law marginalizes Muslims and undermines India’s secular foundation.

🇳🇿✈️ New Zealand air authorities are investigating a mid-flight incident that injured dozens of passengers. Roughly 50 people onboard a Latam Airlines flight from Sydney to Auckland were treated by first responders, after the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft experienced what Latam called “strong movement” caused by a technical event. The Chilean airline didn’t elaborate on the issue, though media reports quoted passengers who said the plane appeared to suddenly lose altitude mid-flight. Over a dozen passengers and crew were hospitalized, though none with life-threatening injuries.

🇮🇪 Ireland voters rejected a pair of proposals to change the constitutional definition of family. One of the failed amendments would have widened the meaning of family to include “durable relationships,” in addition to marriage. The second failed amendment proposed removing a statement that says mothers shouldn’t have to work out of necessity if it neglects their duties at home, and replacing it with a clause saying the state will support “the provision of care by members of a family to one another.” Opponents argued the amendments were poorly worded and could lead to unintended consequences.
