LIVE: Follow Costa Rica vs. Germany updates from 2022 World Cup A late addition to the Germany World Cup roster, Fullkrug came on as a substitute and played hero in the 83rd minute, sharing the spoils and allowing Germany a view towards a knockout stage spot. While Germany do not control their own destiny, all pathways to the Round of 16 start with victory over Costa Rica, as anything less will see them eliminated....

“Belarusians just want to live peacefully, earn some money and develop their lives and families —this is all they want,” she told Newsweek. “They don’t want to go to war, they don’t have these ambitions, this is why they don’t want to be part of it.” While their relationship has ebbed and flowed, Vladimir Putin has propped up Lukashenko—especially after the August 9, 2020 Belarusian election internationally condemned as rigged....

More than 20 years ago, when I was the press secretary for then-Congressman Bernie Sanders, I rode a bus with him and a group of seniors seeking lower-priced prescription drugs at Canadian pharmacies. The trips were part of our attempt to spotlight the pharmaceutical industry charging American consumers the world’s highest prices for medicine—and soon after, another candidate I worked for, Brian Schweitzer, started running similar bus trips. It became a national headline-grabbing crusade....

And he also could be the team’s next manager, at least according to some media accounts. Biggio is a special assistant to general manager Jeff Luhnow, but he lacks coaching and managerial experience. Mets skipper Terry Collins, however, thinks Biggio has what it takes to run a big-league team. “I always told him, ‘one of these days you’ll be managing in the big leagues,’” Collins, who managed Biggio in the mid-90s, told Newsday....

On June 30, 2022, Durant reportedly requested a trade out of Brooklyn. Irving is on the trade block, but the Nets are having trouble finding suitors. The Artist Formerly Known as DeAndre Jordan has been long gone. The only “clean sweep” to speak of is the one the Celtics completed against the Nets in the first round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs. The moment Durant’s trade request went public, it felt as though Brooklyn had reached the end of an incredibly disappointing era in the franchise’s history....

ORIGINAL ITEM: When it comes to money and politics, looks can be deceiving. Take February’s presidential fundraising receipts, for example. After losing 11 straight primary contests to Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton rebounded–in the headlines, at least–with the Feb. 29 announcement that she had racked up $34.5 million in contributions for the month, her all-time record. The only problem? Candidates aren’t actually required to disclose full fundraising information until the 20th of the following month....

Chip Ganassi Racing drivers just can’t find their way to victory lane. Expectations again are high with 2014 rookie of the year Kyle Larson and former Daytona 500 winner Jamie McMurray piloting Ganassi cars. MORE: NASCAR stars who never won Daytona 500 | Dates, times, TV information But neither McMurray nor Larson won in 2015. Larson had two top-five finishes and an average finish of 19.3. McMurray had four top-fives and an average finish of 14....

Public health and environmental experts say “there’s nobody watching” U.S. oil and gas companies along with other leading pollutant operations after the industry complained about being unable to do business during the lockdown. An Associated Press report released Monday highlighted Environmental Protection Agency data that 40 percent fewer pollution tests of smokestacks were conducted between March and April this year. Such rollbacks on anti-pollution rules and waste have likely already lead to countless deaths tied to heart, lung disease and premature births, experts say....

Avis Russell, 71, was hospitalized with terminal lung cancer, while her granddaughter Sean’s wedding was still a few months in the future. Because of this, the couple decided not only to bring their wedding forward—but hold the ceremony in the Texas hospital where their relative was being cared for. The Methodist Healthcare System shared a short but touching video of the event on its Facebook page on July 2 showing Russell watching the young couple getting married and then embracing them....

In a post shared on Reddit, the boyfriend, who goes by the username Wonderful_Ant_9069, explained that over a year ago his mother made a new friend at work who had a daughter his age and has since tried to fix them together. While the two didn’t particularly like each other in the beginning, they grew fond of each other when they began working at the same place. However, they kept this a secret so their moms wouldn’t think they were right about them....

It would have been more polite if the lovebirds had first held a press conference announcing their affection. That’s what Whitewater watchdog Sen. Al D’Amato and socialite-cum-TV-gossip Claudia Cohen did in New York last Tuesday. The duo, who met at a D.C. fund-raiser in December, played kissy-face for the cameras, and D’Amato even warbled a few bars of “It’s a Sin to Tell a Lie” to the Regis and Kathie Lee sidekick, who reportedly received an $80 million divorce settlement from Revlon boss Ron Perelman last year....

Stephen Kirchner, 64, of Manor Township, appeared before Pennsylvania Superior Court on Tuesday to hear the verdict for a disorderly conduct case based on a 2018 incident. According to WGAL, in June of that year Kirchner got into an argument with his neighbor while walking with another woman from the area on the sidewalk. The two exchanged words and then Kirchner “stopped, made eye contact with [the male neighbor] and then made a hand gesture at him imitating the firing and recoiling of a gun,” according to the court record....

The Times of Israel reported that Lanzmann, the widow of Claude Lanzmann, director of the Holocaust documentary Shoah, has been trying to fulfill their son Felix’s last wish—to start a family. Felix was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in 2014. Before his death, as is common with many male cancer patients undergoing treatments that may affect their future fertility, Felix had deposited sperm at Cochin Hospital in Paris and was investigating other facilities in Europe before he became too ill to travel....

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday approved a request for a stay on an order granted by a lower court, pending appeal. A judge ordered the mandate requiring all correctional facility staffers to receive the COVID-19 vaccine based on a recommendation of an official who was appointed by a court to lead the health care system in California prisons. The receiver was appointed by a court after a federal judge determined that the state was not providing adequate health care to inmates in 2005....
