On Thursday, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that Russia considered it impossible to further participate in trilateral consultations with Australia and the Netherlands on the Boeing […]

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his team hope that coronavirus-hit President Donald Trump will be able to take part in the second presidential debate on 15 October, but Biden will definitely be there, his campaign adviser Symone Sanders said on Sunday.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has sent a “warm greeting” to US President Donald Trump and the first lady upon learning they contracted the coronavirus, wishing them a speedy recovery. Kim “offered his sympathy to the president and the first lady” following their diagnoses, the state-run Korean Central News Agency reported on Friday, adding that he “sincerely hopes they would recover as soon as possible” and that the two would “surely overcome it.” Trump announced that he had tested positive for the potentially lethal virus in the early hours of Friday morning and has since been moved to Walter Reed National […]

Williams had a nightmare start in the opening set as she made an uncharacteristic 13 unforced errors as Stephens took the set 6-2.

Liberal musician Cher appeared to openly fantasize about violence against President Donald Trump, in a tweet blasting him for suggesting that he might accept the Republican nomination for president in Gettysburg. In an eye-watering all caps tweet on Saturday, Cher slammed Trump’s recent suggestion that he might accept the Republican Party’s nomination for president in Gettysburg, saying that if he had the “mendacity” to set foot there, she hopes the ground opens “and we never see his ugly face again.” She then added that the long-dead Harriet Tubman, who led slaves from the South to freedom in the North during the […]
Hackers gained access to the private messages of at least 36 high-profile Twitter accounts targeted in an unprecedented security breach earlier this month, the company said, among them at least one elected official. “We believe that for up to 36 of the 130 targeted accounts, the attackers accessed the [direct message] inbox, including 1 elected official in the Netherlands,” Twitter said in a statement on Wednesday, without naming the office-holder. The company maintains it has so far seen “no indication” that messages of any other current or former political figures were compromised in the attack. We believe that for up to […]
Ethereum developers are aspiring to launch Eth 2.0 in 2020. But that doesn’t mean all the technical details have been spelled out yet. The sum of account balances maintained by the network’s nodes – called the state – continues to grow larger and larger as applications and projects transact. Adoption is good, but runaway growth is bad. Independent developer Alexey Akhunov may have a solution – one pulled from Cosmos, the interoperability blockchain. His new proposal, dubbed “ReGenesis,” posted on EthResearch on June 24, would bring stateless client research to the current Ethereum chain (also known as Eth 1.x) by “nuking” […]
Earlier, as states reopen after months of lockdown to stop the spread of COVID-19, US President Donald Trump touted small businesses at the White House “Spirit of America” event, insisting the country was almost back to its pre-pandemic levels “from the standpoint of the stock market.” Wall Street investment bank Goldman Sachs has predicted that although US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is on course to shrink more than anticipated, the American economy will be firmly back on track by September. But a third-quarter rebound will be limited by the likely “pause” in consumer spending in July and August, according to Goldman […]
As Benjamin Lawsky, then the head of the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), was readying his cryptocurrency business licensing regime in October 2014, he told a group of law students it was highly likely other states would look to his proposal as a model for designing their own regulations. Lawsky’s reasoning was simple: New York had placed itself at the “forefront” of a new era in crypto oversight. With this BitLicense, which came online the following June, his department would set an example the entire country could follow. He was right. States did look at the BitLicense – […]
The World Health Organisation (WHO) on 21 June reported the largest single-day increase in COVID-19 cases since the start of the pandemic, with over 183,000 new infections registered in the previous 24 hours, sparking market concerns and diminishing hopes for a swift global economic rebound.

Weighing in on the death of Rayshard Brooks at the hands of Atlanta police, US President Donald Trump called the incident “terrible,” but said citizens should never resist law enforcement, even during a dispute with officers. “I thought it was a terrible situation, but you can’t resist a police officer,” Trump told Fox’s Sean Hannity on Wednesday night, adding that the “whole situation was out of control.” If you have a disagreement, you have to take it up after the fact. It was a very, very sad thing. Though the president questioned the version of events put forward by the accused […]

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Russia is monitoring the criminal proceedings in the Hague regarding the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, hoping for an impartial trial, despite the one-sided probe by the Dutch-led Joint Investigation Team (JIT), Ambassador to the Netherlands Alexander Shulgin said on Friday.

It was resumed this Monday. “We closely monitor the situation as three of those accused of the downing of the […]

Charlotte St. Martin, the president of the Broadway League, makes clear she does not “have a crystal ball.” But her personal belief is that Broadway will reopen in January 2021, she reveals in an exclusive interview with The Daily Beast. For St. Martin, Broadway’s post-pandemic reopening means safety protocols being in place to ensure audience members can sit next to each other as they did before, likely—at least in the first phase of reopening—wearing masks, with actors, singers, and dancers able to perform in the same numbers and proximity, and with the same energy, as before. “We know that we cannot […]

Boris Johnson has revealed that some of the UK’s Covid-19 restrictions could be rolled back on Monday.
