“This summit is a tremendous success,” U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan declared in a speech on Sunday. “You’ve managed to gather the whole world.” Sullivan and U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris represented Washington at the summit, as President Joe Biden skipped the conference due to campaign events. The summit kept the details vague in terms of deadlines and plans for the next meetings. “Peace will be a journey,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said. “These were not peace negotiations, because Putin is not serious about ending the war. He is insisting on capitulation. No country would ever…
Neanderthals, the closest cousins of modern humans, lived in parts of Europe and Asia until their extinction some 30,000 years ago. Genetic studies are revealing ever more about the links between modern humans and these long-gone relatives – most recently that a rush of interbreeding between our species occurred in a relatively short burst of time around 47,000 years ago. But one mystery still remains. The Homo sapiens genome today contains a little bit of Neanderthal DNA. These genetic traces come from almost every part of the Neanderthal genome – except the Y sex chromosome, which is responsible for making…
Thank you President Amherd, President Zelenskyy. Colleagues, Russia chose to wage war on Ukraine, and we come here united because we choose peace. Peace based on the foundational principles of the United Nations Charter. The Ukrainian people did not ask for this fight. But, in defending their country, their valour and their sacrifice has been truly humbling to witness. It is a cruel paradox… …that the things that make life worth living… …are also the things for which brave men and women are prepared to die. For family. For freedom. For the ability to shape one’s own future. We salute…
Last week, the United States Government participated in the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Berlin, Germany. The conference convened over 1,500 representatives from governments, businesses, and civil society to mobilize support for the recovery, reconstruction, reform, and modernization of Ukraine. Initial conference deliverables include the following: $824 million in energy assistance to support Ukraine’s energy infrastructure efforts in the midst of continued Russian attacks. That includes notifying Congress of our intent to support Ukraine with $500 million in new energy assistance and pivoting $324 million from our previously announced other energy assistance to meet Ukraine’s most urgent needs. This will bring the overall U.S. commitment to Ukraine’s energy system to approximately $1.5 billion since 2022. $50 million first-of-its-kind war-risk reinsurance facility in…
Two athletes square off for an intense dance battle. The DJ starts spinning tunes, and the athletes begin twisting, spinning and seemingly defying gravity, respectfully watching each other and taking turns showing off their skill. The athletes converse through their movements, speaking through a dance that celebrates both athleticism and creativity. While the athletes probably aren’t consciously thinking about the physics behind their movements, these complex and mesmerizing dances demonstrate a variety of different scientific principles. Breaking, also known as breakdancing, originated in the late 1970s in the New York City borough of the Bronx. Debuting as an Olympic sport…
Supporters of Yang Hengjun, the Australian citizen incarcerated in China, have urged Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to ask Chinese Premier Li Qiang to have the ailing author released “on medical parole” or otherwise transferred to Australia. Ahead of the Albanese-Li meeting Monday in Canberra, Yang’s supporters said in a statement that his “medical conditions remain serious and unaddressed”. Yang’s situation will be one of the contentious issues raised during a discussion between the leaders that is set to emphasise the positives in the relationship. Li was feted on Sunday with a lunch at a winery near Adelaide attended by Foreign…
Ireland head coach Heinrich Malan has called his team’s campaign in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2024 ‘pretty weird’. Ireland’s campaign in the ninth edition of the T20 World Cup will end on Sunday (June 16) after their final group game against Pakistan in Florida. Ireland were drawn in Group A alongside India, Pakistan, USA and Canada. While India and Pakistan were the favorites to qualify for the Super 8s from the group, many were expecting Ireland to give the heavyweights a run for their money. However, the tournament has not really unfolded on the expected lines so far.…
Editorial note to readers A version of this study was originally published on June 10. We previously used the term “racial conspiracy theories” as an editorial shorthand to describe a complex and mixed set of findings. By using these words, our reporting distorted rather than clarified the point of the study. Changes to this version include: an updated headline, new “explainer” paragraphs, some additional context and direct quotes from focus group participants. Claudia Deane, Mark Hugo Lopez and Neha Sahgal contributed to the revision of this report. (Illustration by JDawnInk via Getty Images) Pew Research Center conducted this study to explore how…
“I will have that settled prior to taking the White House as president-elect,” said Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee in the U.S. election. Ukraine’s Western allies have been working to secure long-term assistance for Kyiv amid fears that Trump’s potential reelection could curtail U.S. support. The Biden administration last week extended long-term security guarantees to Ukraine. That followed congressional approval in April of more than $60 billion in aid to Ukraine. And NATO countries last week moved forward with a plan for the alliance to take over from the U.S. in coordinating military aid to Ukraine, a shift widely perceived as an effort…
