United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on August 8 urged countries with nuclear weapons to stick to their no-first-use commitment of their atomic arsenals, warning that the nuclear arms race has returned amid growing international tension. “This is the moment … to ask the nuclear-armed countries to commit to the principle of non-first-use and to commit to not use and not threaten the non-nuclear countries,” Mr. Guterres said at a news conference in Tokyo, two days after he visited Hiroshima to commemorate victims of the August 6, 1945, atomic bombing. “I think that nobody, nobody can accept the idea that a new nuclear war would happen. This will be the destruction of the planet," Mr. Guterres said. "What is clear is if nobody uses for the first time then there will be no nuclear war.” Fears of a third atomic bombing have been on the rise amid Russia's threats of a nuclear attack since its war on Ukraine began in February.

With less than a month of the transfer window remaining, Manchester United are still yet to add a striker to their ranks. Christian Eriksen started as the most advanced player in the opening-weekend defeat against Brighton . However, aside from the Danish international, new manager Erik ten Hag has only been able to bring in defenders Tyrell Malacia and Lisandro Martinez.

Washington vowed to do better on battling racial discrimination at an emotion-laden UN review of its record Friday, but officials did not respond to calls for reparations after centuries of systemic racism. “We need to continue to make strong, concerted efforts to eliminate the scourge of racial discrimination in our country,” said Desiree Cormier Smith, who was recently appointed as the first US special representative for racial equity and justice. Speaking before the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD), she stressed Washington’s commitment “to eliminating systemic racism”, but acknowledged there was “so much left to do”. Cormier Smith, herself of African American descent, co-chaired a large, diverse US delegation at the two days of hearings in Geneva. She pointed out that the issue was “deeply personal for many of us”. The committee of 18 independent experts evaluates how countries adhere to an international convention on eliminating … [Read more...] about US Fails to Address Reparations’ Calls at UN Race Record Review

Hosts on Russia's state-owned Russia-1 television channel said that officials in Moscow have already been "studying" top secret and other classified documents the FBI sought through a search warrant of former President Donald Trump 's Mar-a-Lago resort home. The FBI, with the approval of Attorney General Merrick Garland , carried out a raid of Trump's Florida residence looking for top secret and sensitive compartmentalized information, as well as other classified documents, on Monday. The Washington Post reported on Thursday that records related to nuclear weapons were sought by the federal agents, but Trump described that reporting as a "hoax." Russia-1 reported on the raid in a segment shared to Twitter late Friday evening by Julia Davis, a columnist for The Daily Beast and the creator of the Russian Media Monitor. During the segment, state-run television host Evgeny Popov mentioned the reporting about nuclear weapons. "Turns out that the investigation against … [Read more...] about Moscow already “studying” top-secret records from Trump raid: Russian media

Five Chinese state-owned companies, including oil giant Sinopec and China Life Insurance, said on Friday they would delist from the New York Stock Exchange, amid economic and diplomatic tensions with the United States. The companies, which also include Aluminium Corporation of China (Chalco), PetroChina and Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Co, each said that they would apply to delist their American Depository Shares this month. The five, which in May were flagged by the U.S. securities regulator as failing to meet its auditing standards, will keep their listings in Hong Kong and mainland Chinese markets. Beijing and Washington are in talks to resolve a long-running audit dispute that could see Chinese companies banned from U.S. exchanges if they do not comply with U.S. rules. Washington has long demanded complete access to the books of U.S.-listed Chinese companies, but Beijing bars foreign inspection of audit documents from local accounting firms, citing national security … [Read more...] about Five Chinese state-owned companies to delist from NYSE amid U.S. tensions

Nagasaki paid tribute to the victims of the U. S. atomic bombing 77 years ago on August 9, with the mayor saying Russia's war on Ukraine showed the world that another nuclear attack is not just a worry but “a tangible and present crisis.” Mayor Tomihisa Taue, in his speech on August 9 at the Nagasaki Peace Park, said nuclear weapons can be used as long as they exist and their elimination is the only way to save the future of humankind. Russia's invasion of Ukraine and threat of nuclear weapons use came only a month after it and four other nuclear powers pledged in a statement that nuclear war should never be fought, Mr. Taue noted. United Nations chief urges nuclear powers to abide by no-first-use pledge “This has shown the world that the use of nuclear weapons is not a groundless fear but a tangible and present crisis,” he said. The belief that nuclear weapons can be possessed not for actual use but for deterrence “is a fantasy, nothing more than a mere hope."

Deep State types such as Susan Rice are likely behind the FBI’s raid of former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, Carl Paladino, a Republican upstate New York businessman who is running for Congress in New York’s 23rd Congressional District, told Breitbart News Saturday . He contended that it would have to be someone other than President Biden, who “isn’t there” but, rather, is vacationing “all the time.” “RINOs” do not want change in Washington, DC, Paladino said as he described the current Republican Caucus in the House as a “disaster,” pointing to the Trump era as an example of how to get things done. “People admired him [Trump] for that tenacity,” going after the system every day, Paladino said, particularly “fighting the Washington swamp.” “[If] he had another term, [he] would be able to do wonderful things for this country,” the candidate said, explaining that he, too, hopes to bring that sort of leadership to the nation’s capital. However, there are currently so many … [Read more...] about Exclusive — Carl Paladino: Susan Rice Likely Behind Mar-a-Lago Raid

Former FBI special agent and attorney Asha Rangappa rejected former President Donald Trump 's contention that the documents sought by the FBI at his Florida home were "declassified," describing the defense as "idiotic" and "dumb" on Friday. Days after the FBI on Monday carried out its search warrant at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort residence looking for top secret and other classified materials, the office of the former president told Just the News in a statement that Trump had a "standing order" to declassify sensitive information so he could transport it to his Florida home. "He had a standing order that documents removed from the Oval Office and taken into the residence were deemed to be declassified," the statement said. "The power to classify and declassify documents rests solely with the President of the United States. The idea that some paper-pushing bureaucrat, with classification authority delegated BY THE PRESIDENT, needs to approve of declassification is absurd." … [Read more...] about Trump declassification rationale “idiotic,” “chaos Inducing”: Ex-FBI agent
