This agreement has to be approved by the U.S. District Court before it can become finalized in New York. “Following years of unregulated air pollution from other states into New York, this agreement promises a breath of fresh air for millions of New Yorkers,” said James. “A majority of New Yorkers across the state regularly breathe polluted air—much of it from smog blown in from upwind states. With this agreement, the EPA has committed to finally taking the necessary action to protect our communities and the resources we depend on....

Unai Emery’s side have not made the start they would have wished to the season, with two wins and two defeats planting them firmly int mid-table while their opponents for the late kick off have taken only a point thus far and find themselves in the relegation zone after the first four games. It is, therefore, an important fixture to launch the season of both teams as the loser will find themselves in hot water early on....

According to the White House, the health-specific elements of this new law, called the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, are intended to strengthen America’s resilience to extreme weather and climate change, clean up and alleviate pollution, and expand access to clean drinking water. Significantly, the White House said, “these long overdue investments will take much-needed steps to improve public health, reduce pollution, and deliver economic revitalization to communities that have been overburdened, underserved, and left behind....

Newsom has largely focused his public comments toward the pandemic relief effort across the state, despite an increasingly well-funded and organized signature campaign to recall him from office. Republican critics had for weeks suggested he was ignoring the recall effort even as conservative organizers amassed more than the 1.5 million signatures required from California residents. But on Monday, Newsom aimed his criticism squarely at former President Donald Trump and other national Republicans he says are behind the concerted effort to smear him out of office....

About 56 percent of Americans polled-including 57 percent of who identified themselves as Catholic-believe the Pope has left the situation ambiguous by not making it clear if the Church should remove priests who sexually abuse children or young people. Only about one-quarter (26 percent) of those polled and 30 percent of Catholics polled, say the Pope did move the policy in a clear direction. While in Rome, some U.S. cardinals had initially hinted that the Pope had laid the groundwork for a new one-strike-and-you’re-out policy for priests who abuse minors....

Unfortunately, some countries do cheat. One of the principle ways that other countries unfairly undermine and attack our economy—and therefore American jobs—is by heavily subsidizing their own industries to create artificially cheaper products and services that out-compete US companies. American steel and aluminum manufacturers have been greatly harmed by China subsidizing its own metal industries and then dumping tons of artificially cheap steel and aluminum into the US market. The factories and other companies that use these products naturally buy the cheaper Chinese metals, and many American manufacturers have been shuttered as a result....

Tensions have been high between North Korea and the U.S. for decades, as Washington continues to support South Korea in a conflict between the two rival nations that never formally ended—although an armistice agreement was reached in 1953. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, North Korea said earlier this month that it’s facing a severe food shortage, but the government, led by Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, remains unwilling to dialogue with the U....
