Biden has expressed his interest in returning to the landmark 2015 agreement, which was also signed by China, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and the European Union. President Donald Trump was criticized by U.S. allies and foes alike for withdrawing from the deal in 2018. The international pact offered Iran sanctions relief and international investment in exchange for curbing its nuclear program. “China hopes the United States will return to the JCPOA unconditionally and as soon as possible, resume the honoring of its obligations and lift all relevant sanctions,” China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said Wednesday, Chinese state news agency Xinhua reported....

With Russian President Vladimir Putin’s military campaign nearing its two-week mark and his forces on the outskirts of Kyiv, the United States and its NATO allies have already supplied Volodymyr Zelensky’s Ukraine with tens of thousands of precision weapons such as shoulder-launched anti-aircraft and anti-tank rockets—and many more are on the way. Over the weekend, Secretary of State Antony Blinken hinted at some progress in a proposal to transfer Poland’s Soviet-era MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine’s air force, a move that would be contingent on a guarantee of Poland later receiving American-made replacements....

The Battle at Lake Changjin was released on September 30 and is the latest in a line of patriotic Chinese films—specially approved by the government—that some observers say border on propaganda. Its opening coincided with China’s National Day holidays on October 1, and the timing aligns with wider celebrations marking the centennial of the Chinese Communist Party in 2021. Lake Changjin is the nation’s most expensive film to date, with a budget of $200 million....

Li-Meng Yan, a former post-doctoral fellow at Hong Kong University, has now promoted two non peer-reviewed papers which suggest the coronavirus strain that causes COVID-19 was created in a lab, describing it as being an “unrestricted bioweapon.” The second paper, released last month, accused academics and public health experts of corruption after the scientific community roundly rejected the unfounded claims in the first paper, which was released in September....

What was so royal about the old way? Well, the court was believed to be moved by esoteric considerations the rest of us mortal subjects need not understand, but which we should nevertheless accept. It even used to be thought rather bad form, if not actually vaguely treasonous, to inveigh against its rulings (as distinct from defying them, which is another matter). Indeed the very phrase in which people like me used to seek to quell complaints about desegregation decisions- “It is the law of the land” has a certain quaint ring to it, something a herald might well proclaim after a shrill toot or two on a trumpet and a couple of “hear ye’s....

To learn more about a choroidal effusion, one must learn what the difference between the sclera, choroid and the retina. The sclera is the tough outer coating of the eyeball. The sclera is what gives the eyeball its white appearance. The choroid is the blood vessel-rich tissue that feeds and nourishes the overlying retina. The retina is the light-sensitive tissue that collects light information and transmits it to the brain via the nerve fiber bundles via the optic nerve....

Christie, a Republican who has long been a vocal supporter of Trump, told CNN that he believes the former President could be a “very positive force for Republican candidates” in 2022, but only if he tells the truth and moves on from the election. Following Trump’s loss, he and his allies have claimed with no evidence that the election was stolen in key swing states. The CNN interview came after Christie spoke at Saturday’s Republican Jewish Coalition conference in Las Vegas, where he again urged Republicans to look to the future and move on from the election while speaking to a group of donors Saturday....

A one-on-one interview with Cruz on Cuomo Prime Time devolved into a shouting match earlier tonight over the Republican’s support of Trump and Cuomo’s support of his brother, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. “It all troubles me Ted, to watch guys like you stand by and stroke your beard like a wise man, instead of telling the president to get on it when you have power,” Cuomo said with a raised voice as Cruz attempted to interrupt....

The pair have teamed up with Jumanji director Jake Kasdan for Red One. In a move fans may not have expected from the stars, Red One is an action-adventure comedy and also a Christmas movie.

Now, the Captain America star has taken the opportunity to urge his fans to vote in the 2020 November presidential election. Taking to Twitter, Evans, 39, tweeted: “Now that I have your attention,” along with two emojis symbolizing embarrassment, adding: “VOTE Nov 3rd!!!” The Knives Out actor was left red-faced when he accidentally posted a screen recording of his camera roll, with a penis in one of the thumbnails, believed to be his own, to his 6....

The host of All In With Chris Hayes shared footage from Fox News’ flagship morning show Fox & Friends, where a panel criticized Dr. Anthony Fauci’s comments on Wednesday. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, had told Hayes people needed to “get over this political statement” and get vaccinated. Hayes said Trump should be holding rallies to support vaccinations, while his supporters could argue that he was responsible for creating the vaccine in the first place....

Murillo’s remarks came during an interview with the Christian TV program Flash Point. The evangelical Christian minister leads Mario Murillo Ministries, based in Reno, Nevada, and frequently criticizes Biden and the Democrats. He has previously suggested that former President Donald Trump is still the legitimate president, not Biden.

The American ultimately remained at Stamford Bridge, and while life under new manager Graham Potter didn’t exactly start any more promising, he eventually worked his way into a consistent role. After coming on at halftime for 45 minutes against Newcastle in a 1-0 defeat before the World Cup break, Pulisic went on to earn three straight Premier League starts for the Blues against Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, and defending champions Manchester City....

Diet From the moment you are diagnosed with CKD, you should make every effort to ensure your diet places the least amount of stress on your kidneys and your body as a whole. If your kidney impairment gets worse, you may need to limit other nutrients as well. Low-Sodium DASH Diet In the early stages of CKD, many healthcare providers will recommend a DASH diet, which emphasizes portion control; the healthy consumption of vegetables, fruits, and low-fat dairy; and the moderate intake of whole grains, fish, poultry, and nuts....

China now moves so fast that outside perceptions of it tend to lag increasingly far behind. Since the crash of 2000, economists have been agonizing over the rare simultaneous slump in the “three engines” of the world economy–Germany, Japan and the United States–and asking where the demand that drives growth will come from. Until recently, no one had ever seen China as an engine or an answer–even though it has continued to boom through recent shocks, is already by some key measures the world’s second largest economy and, in the first three months of this year, grew at a torrid 9....

Long, 21, was a member of the Crabapple First Baptist Church in Milton, Georgia, and screenshots of since-deleted social media posts suggest he was re-baptized there about three years ago. There is no evidence to suggest that the church was involved in any way with Long’s decision to allegedly carry out the killings. In a statement, elders of the church expressed grief over the violence. “We are grieved to hear the tragic news about the multiple deaths in the Atlanta area....

Samuel Whitt, 43, was sentenced to 54 months in jail after being convicted of hate crimes for targeting the rental home owned by Pat and Joe Jude in November 2016. Whitt destroyed the home after he was evicted by the Judes for not paying his rent. The pair had left town to visit their daughter over Thanksgiving at the time. Benjamin C. Glassman, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, said that Whitt violated the Fair Housing Act through force by willfully intimidating two homeowners based on their race, color and familial status....

The property and the sign belong to Dimitri Hepburn, who lives in the Windy City’s North Side. He said the sign had been up for months with no issues. “He took the time to turn it over so that it was face down,” Hepburn said. “It was, I don’t wanna say unbelievable, but shocking…I think he needs to be held accountable.” Chicago city workers were seen in the area around Hepburn’s home after the sign was removed cleaning out sewers....
