This administration, which tends to treat the word “historical” as an epithet, might want to spend just a little more time looking back at those earlier situations. Historical analogies can be misleading, sure, but historical patterns teach you a lot, and if you study the crises that culminated in 1993-94, 1983-84, 1974-75, (weirdly, just about every decade), the outline’s pretty much the same: Washington commits troops to a high-sounding cause in a faraway land, but completely misjudges the nature and extent of local resistance....

The BCCI recently sent the advisory in which details regarding approval, eligibility of participants, when the tournament can take place, compliance with board rules, protocols to be followed regarding the board’s Anti-Corruption unit, among others, are noted. “The general body had gone into the issue of the state associations-organised T20 tournaments and had deliberated on the issue in detail and had laid down guidelines for the organisation of such tournaments with a specific focus on anticorruption protocols and to provide an opportunity to those cricketers who neither play for the country nor do they play in the IPL,” Shah was quoted as saying in a media release....

Two brilliant counter-attacking second-half goals from substitutes Dentinho and Manor Solomon helped the Ukrainian side secure a historic double over Zinedine Zidane’s men despite having fewer chances and less possession in the game .

In the post, user MasterCh1cken12 shared an image of a male school bathroom with urinals without dividers with the caption, “Our school district says it would cost $1,500 to put in two dividers.

As the shark dove down into the water beneath him, Keliikipi put his feet up on the board and kept watch for it....

Ramos joined PSG on a free transfer after leaving Real Madrid in the summer, having spent the previous 16 years of his career at Santiago Bernabeu. The 35-year-old has been made to wait for his first appearance for the French giants due to a calf injury, but was included in Mauricio Pochettino’s starting XI for their league game on Sunday lunchtime. What was said on Sergio Ramos’ PSG debut? The PSG boss told reporters after seeing a World Cup-winning Spain international make it through a 3-1 victory for his side unscathed: “I am very happy for Sergio, we are all happy that he is here after a few months without having been able to play since his signing at Paris Saint-Germain....

Paulo Dybala went close for the Bianconeri from a free-kick before Atalanta were awarded a penalty in the 16th minute. But the opportunity went begging for the hosts as Musa Barrow’s spot-kick found the woodwork, much to the relief of the Juve custodian Wojciech Szczesny. Juventus continued to have the better of the scoring opportunities but neither team managed to find the back of the net as half-time beckoned....

Newsweek’s review of information about such law enforcement work showed that while crowds took to the streets to protest the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man in Minneapolis, a tightly coordinated federal and state effort based around the FBI’s existing 200 Joint Terrorism Task Forces spread across the country.

The task force system has faced scrutiny from the American Civil Liberties Union, who has questioned its surveillance targets and claimed that it lacks transparency....
