The report was compiled by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, an entity created and mandated by Congress in 2000 to report on and provide recommendations regarding how the bilateral trade and economic relationship between the United States and China affects U.S. national security. The report’s findings detailed a growing interdependence between the U.S. and China between the turn of the millennium and 2017. Within this period, the number of U....

“The preparedness events that have already been held have helped make our nation more resilient,” the Department of Homeland Security insisted in its internal email to emergency managers, saying that the drills, which began last year, would be canceled. FEMA informed nine states and over 50 government organizations, military commands and intelligence agencies around the country that the remainder of National Level Exercise (NLE) 2020, a series of domestic exercises planned to culminate in the second week of May, would not take place....

To understand the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol, Newsweek meticulously reconstructed what happened that day and interviewed dozens of government and military officials, most of whom requested anonymity in order to be candid. They almost unanimously agreed that behind the stunning inaction is a hidden story of an insurrection caused by the very fear that Donald Trump, crazed and unpredictable in his final days in office, might provoke an insurrection....

The article, published Tuesday by the Marine Corps Times, an independent newspaper unaffiliated with the U.S. government which covers the U.S. Marine Corps, identified by name a single mother and Marine reservist who was being harassed by her male colleagues after nude photos of her were distributed to Marines participating in military training exercises in Twentynine Palms, California. The photographs of the Marine reservist, whose name is being withheld by Newsweek to shield her from further harassment, were taken from a paid website where she sold images of herself to help pay bills and provide financial support for her child....

Antonov has a decades-long career in the Foreign Ministry, where he has held a number of posts spanning both the eras of the Soviet Union and Russian Federation. He was appointed as envoy to Washington by Russian President Vladimir Putin in September 2017 and he has served as the face of the powerful nation’s diplomatic presence in the U.S. Relations between Cold War-era rivals the U.S. and Russia have long been defined by tensions and marked with significant points of cooperation....

Newly appointed Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller announced Tuesday that the Pentagon was drawing down the number of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq from 4,500 and 3,000 to 2,500 in each country by January 15 of next year at the behest of Trump, who looks set to leave office just five days later, and “at the recommendation” of his top military officials. “This is consistent with our established plans and strategic objectives supported by the American people and does not equate to a change in U....

In 40 minutes of basketball, they scored just 16 baskets, which surely was not going to be enough to beat the Wolverines. Perhaps more to the point, though, was only five of those buckets resulted from assists. It was a season low for the Huskers in what likely was their poorest performance against a conference opponent. At the worst possible time.

Here are some basic exercises to help keep your hips strong and mobile. Remember to check with your practitioner, physical therapist, or healthcare provider to ensure that you are healthy enough to exercise your hip or leg. While lying on your back, keep both knees bent and place a small ball, pillow, or towel roll between your knees. Give the pillow a gentle squeeze. Hold for five seconds and release....

And I’d probably write about them here and tell you about how terrific they are, if the members of this committee had not gone and offered a reckless proposal that threatens the prosperity of the event that makes much of NCAA athletics possible. And I quote: “Following months of discussions by the Transformation Committee’s Championship Subgroup, informed by input from the Division I Council and the Division I Competition Oversight Committee, the Transformation Committee urges the Division I Board of Directors to thoroughly review, fully consider and, where appropriate, swiftly act on the following: Accommodate access for 25% of active Division I members in good standing in team sports sponsored by more than 200 schools....

As a psychiatrist practicing in Boston, I thought it would be easy to connect her with the appropriate expert. I was surprised to discover that none of my colleagues specialized in the challenges of parenting while seriously ill. However, since my career as a child psychiatrist had focused on working with seriously ill children and their families, I felt confident that together with my friend, a devoted and attuned parent, we could address her key questions and concerns....

For most of the past 50 years, the two nations have trod very different paths. Pakistan has stumbled through a series of military dictatorships that have edged closer to Islamic precepts. Although overwhelmingly homogenous in religious terms, it has often been riven by ethnic and cultural divisions–most notably in 1971, a conflict that resulted in the creation of Bangladesh. India, meanwhile, has maintained itself as a working democracy, and although much more heterodox, it has managed to maintain a precarious unity....

Residents of Klintsy, a town of around 60,000 people, were cited by RBC Ukraine as saying that they heard loud explosions that shook their homes. Klintsy is located some 45 kilometers (28 miles) from the Ukrainian border. “Houses jumped,” a local resident said. The Telegram channel Novosti Bryansk said that it spoke to residents who said that the explosions were “so powerful that they woke up the whole city.”...

Initial reports by Lebanon’s official National News Agency indicated that a series of up to two explosions, at least one of which citizens told Newsweek was heard from as far away as the southern cities Sidon, Tyre and Nabatieh, was the result of a fire at the wheat silos in Beirut’s downtown port. The cause of the blast, which Lebanese health officials say has killed at least 73 people, remains unclear and other local media outlets have suggested the initial cause may have been the detonation of a fireworks factory or a facility storing explosive chemicals such as some form of nitrate....

The federal government’s schedule for distributing the unemployment benefits as stipulated in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act is scheduled to end on July 31, a Friday. For many of the 33 million Americans collecting some form of unemployment benefits, the final day to receive the expiring extra $600 will be the week ending Saturday, July 25, or Sunday, July 26. Based upon the state in which recipients live, the Labor Department cautioned that the final payment may come a week earlier than the calendar suggests....

After a successful debut campaign in the Chinese Super League, the 28-year-old who is currently injured has begun his vacation in the state of Nevada where he met Mayweather.

The second-quarter results released on Friday for ExxonMobil showed a profit of $17.9 billion, a more than three-fold increase from its first-quarter earnings of $5.5 billion, which itself was double its profits compared to the same quarter last year. Its previous record net income came in the second quarter of 2012 at $15.91 billion. Exxon’s revenue soared to $115.7 billion from $67.7 billion a year ago which was well ahead of predictions....

On a weekend that will see Max Verstappen officially crowned as a two-time world champion and Red Bull as the constructors champions for the first time since 2013, there’s still plenty to play for, not least in the battle for second spot in the drivers standings. That’s because Red Bull’s Sergio Perez and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc enter this last race weekend tied on 290 points after an entertaining Brazilian Grand Prix last time out....

This time around it’ll be a case of whether anyone can catch world champion Max Verstappen, who claimed his 14th win of the campaign last time out in Mexico – a new record for the most wins ever recorded in a single F1 season. But it’s Ferrari who are historically most successful around the famous Interlagos track, and Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz will be keen to add to their team’s tally of nine wins there and help break the team’s poor run of recent form in 2022....

Early on in Formula 1’s Bahrain Grand Prix, Haas F1 driver Romain Grosjean escaped from a fiery wreck with just minor injuries. Grosjean, presumably not seeing fellow driver Daniil Kvyat in his side-view mirror, slid across the track, contacting Kvyat’s car. He went careening off the track into the barricade. The result was nearly fatal: Grosjean’s car split in half, with flames engulfing the car. Per Sky Sports’ broadcast, Grosjean sustained only minor burns on his hands and ankles, and also a possible broken rib....
