U.S. Presents Nuclear Proposal to Iran Amid Enrichment Concerns

0

The Trump administration announced Saturday that it had presented Iran with an outline of a deal for limiting the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.

The White House did not share the details of the plan, which Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt characterized as “acceptable” to the administration. A point of contention is whether the U.S. will demand total dismantlement in exchange for sanctions relief and other concessions, a prospect that Iran has characterized as a no-go. Iran confirmed that it had received the outline via an Omani intermediary.

Earlier Saturday, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN’s nuclear monitoring body, disclosed that Iran’s stores of near-bomb-grade uranium had increased by roughly 50 percent in the past three months in a report obtained by the New York Times. If the stores were enriched to weapons levels, they could provide warheads for about 10 bombs. In that report, Raphael Grossi, head of the IAEA, urged “a diplomatic resolution, under a very robust I.A.E.A. inspection system.” A second report detailed Iranian noncompliance with IAEA inspections.

Box Office: ‘Sinners’ Slays ‘Minecraft’ to Take #1 Spot With $45 Million Debut

0

NEW YORK (AP) — Brand names, not filmmakers or stars, are said to rule the box office these days. But Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners,” led by twin Michael B. Jordans, proved a bloody exception to modern movie rules, launching with $45.6 million in ticket sales in U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday.

“Sinners,” a Warner Bros. release that cost about $90 million to produce, was a bold gamble on originality — albeit with genre elements — and one of the most bankable American directors in Coogler. The “Creed” and “Black Panther” director wrote and produced “Sinners,” a 1932-set vampire movie about bootlegging brothers (both played by Jordan) who open a juke joint in their Mississippi hometown.

Senator Chris Van Hollen’s (D-MD) recent trip to El Salvador to advocate for the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a deported Salvadoran national, has sparked intense debate and drawn sharp criticism.

The lawmaker’s journey to the Central American nation, where he was denied access to Garcia at the Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT) maximum security prison, showed the disturbing true colors of anti-borders politicians: an instinct to prioritize the interests of illegal aliens over those of legal American citizens.

‘He Returned to the House of the Father’: European Leaders Hail Pope Francis

0

European political leaders moved to express their memories, condolences, and hopes on Monday as the news of the passing of Pope Francis earlier that morning.

Much of Europe has, historically, been Catholic and remains officially so even amid the recent decades of change, excepting the Orthodox East and Protestant north. In Paris, the bells of the recently restored Notre Dame rung out 88 times for the Pope’s 88 years of age, and the Eiffel Tower will not be illuminated this evening. In churches throughout Catholic Austria, bells will rung simultaneously for ten minutes this afternoon and football matches planned for today across Italy are cancelled in mourning.

In a new study, paleontologists from the University of Queensland and the China University of Geosciences addressed these limitations by employing digital methodologies to re-analyze a 70-m-long theropod dinosaur trackway in China.
