Fox News has promoted Peter Doocy and Jacqui Heinrich to senior White House correspondent, the network announced on Monday.

As part of their elevated roles, Doocy and Heinrich will “continue to provide coverage of the President of the United States’ domestic and international activities as well as the issues that affect the administration,” the network said in announcing the promotions.

Doocy, the son of Fox and Friends morning show host Steve Doocy, joined Fox in 2009 and has served in a variety of reporting roles since, including covering President Biden’s 2020 campaign.

He is known among the White House Press Corps for his often pointed back-and-forths with White House officials and President Biden, who was caught on hot microphone calling Doocy a “stupid son of a b—-” in 2022 after the reporter asked him a question about inflation.

Heinrich joined Fox as a general assignment reporter based in New York in 2018 and in 2022 was elected by the White House press corps to the White House Correspondents Association’s board for a three-year term.

Taiwan warns against travel to China after execution threat
TAIPEI (Reuters) -Taiwan's government raised its travel warning for China on Thursday, telling its citizens not to go unless absolutely necessary, following a threat from Beijing last week to execute those deemed "diehard" Taiwan independence supporters. Liang Wen-chieh, spokesperson for Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council, told reporters the raised travel warning also applied to the Chinese-run cities of Hong Kong and Macau. China, which views democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory, has made no secret of its dislike of President Lai Ching-te, whom it views as a "separatist", and staged two days of war games after he took office last month.

Modi's govt calls on Indian state to look into Reuters report on Foxconn hiring
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government on Wednesday said it has asked the Tamil Nadu state to submit a "detailed report" after a Reuters story revealed that Apple supplier Foxconn rejected married women from iPhone assembly jobs in the country. In a statement calling for the probe, the federal government's Ministry of Labour and Employment cited the Equal Remuneration Act of 1976, saying the law "clearly stipulates that no discrimination (is) to be made while recruiting men and women workers." The ministry said it has requested a detailed report from the Labour Department of Tamil Nadu, site of a major iPhone factory where Reuters uncovered Foxconn’s practice of shunning married women from jobs.
