Toronto (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is announcing stricter restrictions on travelers response to new, likely more contagious variants of the novel coronavirus. The new requirements make it mandatory for travelers to quarantine in a hotel at their own expense when they arrive in Canada and includes suspending airline service to Mexico and all Caribbean destinations until April 30. Trudeau says in addition to the pre-boarding test Canada already requires, the government will be introducing mandatory PCR testing at the airport for people returning to Canada. He says travelers will then have to wait for up to three days at an approved hotel for their test results, at their own expense.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A bipartisan North Dakota bill that would have required clergy to be included in state law as mandatory reporters of child abuse has been withdrawn. West Fargo Republican Sen. Judy Lee withdrew the legislation on Friday, saying the bill has become a distraction. The Roman Catholic dioceses in Fargo and Bismarck had opposed the bill. North Dakota law requires those working in many occupations to report any evidence of child abuse. But clergy is exempt. The bill would have made failure to support abuse a punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a $1,500 fine.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A charity that helps grant wishes for ailing kids and teens has fulfilled a 16-year-old Bottineau boy’s desire for outdoor adventures by providing him with a fish house that doubles as a camper.

He became more convinced about his wish after taking a tour through a Minot outdoor equipment store The Minot Daily News reports that in addition to the shelter, he was presented with other items and a day on the lake with an ice fishing professional, the Minot Daily News reported.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — After President Joe Biden revoked Keystone XL’s presidential permit, opponents of other pipelines are hoping the projects they’ve been fighting will be next. Environmentalists and American Indian tribes called on Biden to stop Enbridge Energy’s Line 3 replacement in Minnesota. Opponents of the Dakota Access pipeline that originates in North Dakota also appealed to the administration. Biden’s administration hasn’t specified what action it might take on other pipelines. Industry experts say they don’t expect any quick action like the order that stopped Keystone XL, but other pipelines will likely see tougher scrutiny and permitting processes than they saw under former President Donald Trump.

In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is set to meet Monday with a group of 10 Republican senators who have proposed spending about one-third of what he is seeking in coronavirus aid. White House press secretary Jen Psaki says that Biden has spoken with the leader of the group, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine. The invitation to the White House came hours after the lawmakers had sent Biden a letter urging him to negotiate rather than try to ram through his $1.9 trillion package solely on Democratic votes. Congressional Democrats are poised to move ahead without Republican support.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump has named two lawyers to his impeachment defense team, one day after it was revealed that the former president had parted ways with an earlier set of attorneys. The two lawyers representing him will be an Alabama attorney, David Schoen, and a former prosecutor in Pennsylvania, Bruce Castor. Several South Carolina lawyers who were set to represent Trump at the trial starting next week have left the team. Trump is the first president in American history to be impeached twice. He is set to stand trial in the Senate on a charge that he incited his supporters to storm Congress on Jan. 6
(AP) Southern Poverty Law Center, an Alabama-based organization that tracks racism and xenophobia, says it identified 838 active hate groups operating across the U.S. in 2020. That’s a decrease from the 940 documented in 2019 and the record-high 1,020 in 2018, according to an annual report the law center will release Monday. The number of white nationalist groups declined last year by more than 100, after posting huge growth during the previous two years, as in-person organizing was hampered by the coronavirus pandemic. But the law center’s president said the decrease in active hate groups should not be interpreted as a decline of hate and bigotry in America.
NAYPYITAW, Myanmar (AP) — Japan is expressing “serious concern” about the military’s actions in Myanmar and demanding the release of leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other officials.

He says Japan has strongly supported Myanmar’s democratization process and opposes moves that go against it. He is urging the military to restore democracy as soon as possible.
BEIJING (AP) — Asian stock markets have gained after coronavirus vaccine maker AstraZeneca agreed to provide more doses to Europe amid rising worries about the disease. Tokyo, Hong Kong and Seoul advanced. Shanghai declined after two surveys showed Chinese manufacturing weakened in January. On Friday, Wall Street’s benchmark S&P 500 index lost 1.9% after GameStop, a video game vendor, and some other shares that were expected to decline were sent soaring by day traders. Markets were rattled by AstraZeneca’s announcement it would supply the European Union with fewer than half the promised doses. On Sunday, AstraZeneca promised to increase European supplies and start delivery earlier.
BEIJING (AP) — A Chinese government official has accused former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo of trying to cripple Beijing’s relations with new President Joe Biden’s administration by declaring China’s actions against the Uighur ethnic group “genocide.” It’s the latest in a Chinese attempt to counter efforts in Western countries to cut trade ties and sanction Chinese officials over widespread reported abuses in the region, including mass detention, forced labor and forced birth control. The comments come as Biden’s administration is formulating its policies toward China, which many analysts call the biggest geopolitical challenge facing the U.S.
