President Joe Biden is heading to Louisiana on Friday to survey damage done by Hurricane Ida.

According to the White House, Biden will survey storm damage and meet state and local officials. He will begin his tour of the state in New Orleans and is expected to meet John Bel Edwards, the Democrat Governor of Louisiana.

"I think getting eyes on the damage in person - rather than reading about it, rather than hearing about it, rather than seeing it on TV - is really important. Because this is going to be a marathon, and we’re going to need a lot of help from our federal partners for a long time to come. And we need some of that help immediately," Edwards said at a briefing on Wednesday.

📱After a wave of criticism, Apple has delayed its plans to introduce a “child safety feature” on iPhones.

Last month Apple announced the CSAM scanning feature that would check the iPhones and personal computers of customers in the United States to flag up images popular with paedophiles.

However, critics said the tool could be used as a tool of censorship for searching for content related to political activism or to dissent. Apple had insisted it would allow security researchers to verify its claims but on Friday the company finally backed down and put its plans on hold.

Who are all of the people coming into our Country? In addition to the Southern Border, with millions of unvetted people pouring in, we now have tens of thousands of totally unvetted Afghans, who many say are not the ones that should have come in. How many terrorists are among them? How much money is this costing? With all of these developments, our Country is more unsafe now than ever before—and many Americans are still left behind!
