She’s been charged with second-degree murder with a deadly weapon for the stabbing of her boyfriend Christian “Toby” Obumseli, four months after Miami investigators started looking into the case. Details on her arrest are expected to be revealed by State Attorney Katherine Fernandez, along with City Police Chief Manuel Morales and South Florida U....
Pogba: I rejected Spanish giants Costa is thought to have received a huge offer from China to make him one of the highest paid players in the world, which has meant that he hasn’t trained with the first team squad for the past three days. Conte stated after his 3-0 win over Leicester City that his striker officially had a back injury, but Costa’s head appears to have been turned by a big money offer....

In an apparent case of “sketch inception,” courtroom artist Jane Rosenberg created a drawing of Maxwell, who, instead of paying attention to the trial as it unfolded, appeared to be doodling a sketch of Rosenberg on a notepad as Rosenberg was drawing her. In the picture Maxwell is staring straight at Rosenberg, stoically looking up with a blank expression while continuing to draw. The sketch soon went viral across the Internet, with social media abuzz over the bizarre image....
Wang hit back at the comments made last month by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who said international engagement with China had failed and that Beijing bites “the international hands that fed it.” Pompeo’s broadside, delivered at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda last month, also included swipes at Chinese “propagandists” and the Chinese government, which “ripped off our prized intellectual property.” But in an interview with the state-run Xinhua news agency, published on China’s foreign ministry website, Wang said China was open to reconciliation....
U.S. lawmakers and President Donald Trump’s administration have been passing legislation and introducing sanctions on Chinese individuals and companies believed to be undermining Hong Kong autonomy, prompting retaliation and protests from Beijing. On Monday, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said the U.S. will revoke Hong Kong’s special status under American law, which had afforded the territory preferential trading status. The U.S. will halt defense exports and restrict Hong Kong’s access to high-technology products....
The legislation, which has broad bipartisan support, would allow the U.S. to sanction individuals in China and Hong Kong believed to be undermining the autonomy of Hong Kong and the human rights of its residents. It would also require the State Department to review the special U.S.-Hong Kong trading status annually to ensure authorities are respecting human rights and the rule of law. The bill passed the House by voice vote, the BBC reported, meaning support was significant enough not to require individual representatives to record their votes....
Suga will appear with Biden in the White House’s Rose Garden late on Friday following the two leaders’ first face-to-face meeting, according to White House advisories. The conference is likely to include such topics as the coronavirus pandemic, climate change and China’s repression of the Uyghurs, an ethnic group native to the Xinjiang region. China’s military expansion is also expected to receive mention, a prediction China is both counting on and already working to suppress....
Xiang Haitao, 44, was sentenced Thursday in U.S. District Court for Eastern Missouri after pleading guilty to conspiring to commit economic espionage for his role in a plot to deliver nutrient-application software to China’s government. The case is part of an ongoing effort by U.S. officials to curb economic espionage from China, and prosecutors say it’s the first of its kind in the Eastern District of Missouri. Xiang, a Chinese national formerly residing in Chesterfield, Missouri, worked as an imaging scientist for Monsanto and its subsidiary, The Climate Corporation, from 2008 to 2017, according to the U....
Man Utd at 15/4 odds to win PL It has been reported by the Sunday Times that a mysterious Chinese buyer has expressed an interest in purchasing a holding in the English club, who are owned by the Glazer family. According to the report, some of United’s independent shareholders have been contacted. However, Ping An Insurance Group distanced itself from the rumours on Monday. What Perisic signing means for Rashford...
Then there is China, which no one mentions as a model for the Middle East, precisely because it has never held national elections. Admittedly, you have to swallow hard to say that China, with its reprehensible record on human rights, is a model for anyone. But China’s record is no worse than the sham democracies of Central Asia and Africa, where elections have done nothing to safeguard individual liberties. Those basket-case states point to the likely future of Iraq, too, if elections are pushed with too much haste....
CIA Director William Burns told agency personnel earlier this month that the foreign intelligence service would launch a new China Mission Center with the goal of monitoring and countering Chinese activity. Burns said that the mission center would “further strengthen our collective work on the most important geopolitical threat we face in the 21st century, an increasingly adversarial Chinese government,” The Washington Post reported. Chinese state-controlled media began circulating a viral video clip over the past week that claimed the CIA was actively recruiting native speakers of Mandarin, Cantonese, Hakka and Shanghainese, according to Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post (SCMP)....
The Global Times, an English-language tabloid published by the Chinese Communist Party, argued in a Thursday editorial that Hong Kong still enjoys press freedom despite the shutting down of Apple Daily. Jimmy Lai, the owner of the newspaper, was arrested last year and several employees were detained in recent days as well, after authorities raided the publication’s offices. “No Western country would allow the existence of such a hub that manipulates public opinion to counter constitutional system of the country....
“He’s our starter. I’ve got a lot of confidence in Blaine,” Kelly told reporters Monday, via the Sacramento Bee. “We’re not thinking or talking about not having Blaine in there. It’s about everybody on offense playing better right now.” Gabbert threw for 243 yards with two touchdowns, including a 75-yarder to tight end Vance McDonald, and added another score on the ground. But he also threw two late interceptions and completed fewer than 50 percent of his passes....
It’s so easy to get carried away with what we see in one week of action, but it’s impossible for trends to have developed. Really, we haven’t even had time for players to get to know each other. Some signings went into the lineup after less than a week training with their new teammates. Things will change. Yet, it’s such a seductive thought to think we can come to conclusions....
Zhao, a Beijing-born filmmaker, became the first woman of color and first Chinese woman to win the Academy Award for best director on Sunday night. China didn’t broadcast the awards and Weibo, a popular social media app in China, appeared to be deleting posts championing the win for Zhao, who made controversial comments about China in 2013. Shi Wenxue, a Beijing-based film critic, told the Global Times, a state-run media outlet, Zhao’s best director win highlighted the Oscars’ “political correctness....

Research has already established that consuming whole grains is linked to a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and gastrointestinal cancers. For this November study, published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, researchers aimed to determine whether whole grain consumption improved cardiovascular outcomes compared to refined grains (like white bread and white rice) or placebo in adults. From the data, researchers concluded that for adults with and without cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, consuming certain whole grain as opposed to refined grain may improve:...
On and off the court, Bosh is every bit the thinker we all imaged. He is a Georgia Tech product who codes HTML to relax and once attended an after school program called, “Whiz Kids,” as he revealed to ESPN’s Tom Hasherstroh back in June.
