I am not aware of any news for the day for Mars so here is some sites for Space news instead. Of which we had a perfect launch from a Falcon 9 Heavy and a Lunar landing that was a crash. Then again the first photo's of a black hole seems to be a ringer for silence as well....

Many sites for space news but not much for direct news on what we are doing on Mars. It must be the time delay between Earth and Mars...

No leaks or announcements for mars and these are news articles during the month of Feb. & Mar. of 2019
not just about mars but the first article is about protecting man.
College Students Hatch Nuclear-Powered Magnetic Plan to Protect Marsonauts from Cosmic Rays
The students, from Drake University in Iowa, presented their project in the poster session Saturday (April 13) at the April meeting of the American Physical Society. Their MISSFIT (Magneto-Ionization Spacecraft Shield for Interplanetary Travel) design uses a powerful magnetic shield that, like Earth's magnetosphere, protects the planet from high-energy particles. The defense system also incorporates "passive" shielding to mimic the ionosphere — Earth's second layer of defense.
