While results need to go in their favour, Thunder still have to win their last match at the Manuka Oval as they take on the table toppers, Hobart Hurricanes, in what promises to be a cracker of a match. The Thunder could possibly field Usman Khawaja and Pat Cummins in their final game as they seek to join their opponents in the top four. For the Hurricanes, the match could only serve the purpose of fine tuning their skills and tactics as they enter the business end of the tournament and add another win to their tally....

Final Fantasygames tend to feature a variety of different stories, but the popularity of some has led them to receive sequels or be remade for more modern consoles. These continuations will often attempt to revitalize a game’s story by retconning certain elements. Most of these alterations will enhance the overall story, but some seek to dismantle it. 5 The Need For Royal Blood - Final Fantasy 15: Episode Ignis The Ring of the Lucii is an ancient artifact that was bestowed upon the great kings of Lucis....

Yet despite the urgent nature of the crisis, the administration continues to do virtually nothing about it. It is constrained in large measure by the antipathy of the Democratic Party base toward enforcement of existing immigration laws, and the president’s own clear intention to loosen efforts to stop illegal border crossings and deport those who are in the country illegally. Resuming work on a border wall associated with his predecessor is out of the question....

Biden campaigned heavily on his ability to control the pandemic and turn the economy around and months into his presidency he’s facing rising COVID-19 cases and disappointing job reports. While Democrats are largely standing behind the president, he’s facing opposition from independents and Republicans and his declining poll numbers could spell trouble for the president’s party in the midterms. A poll from ABC News and Ipsos released on Wednesday found Biden’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic his strongest issue among voters with 57 percent approval....

On Friday, House Democrats formally released the full text of the bill, which includes $1,400 stimulus checks; $350 billion in state and local government relief; an extension of $400 federal unemployment benefits; and further funding for small businesses—as well as money to assist schools reopening and coronavirus vaccine distribution. As Republicans quickly condemned the package and renewed their opposition to its price tag, Biden expressed willingness to make cuts to the legislation....

He called for banning chokeholds by police, creating a national police oversight commission, stopping “transferring weapons of war” to police forces, improving oversight and accountability, and creating a model use of force standard. Biden cited a proposal by New York Representative Hakeem Jeffries that would outlaw chokeholds as the type of change he would support. Biden added that every police department in the country could take steps now to conduct a comprehensive review of their hiring, training, and de-escalation practices....

Trump’s approval rating is now so bad, and Biden’s lead so strong, that Senate Republicans up for election this year are beginning to fear the president’s performance is a heavy weight on their own chances, and, if things get much worse, they may also lose control of the upper chamber. A quarterly Citigroup survey of 140 fund managers released last week found that 62 percent expect Biden to win in November, up from 70 percent anticipating a Trump victory back in December, a near-total reversal of views amid the coronavirus pandemic....

Biden won 306 electoral votes, more than the 270 votes required to win the Electoral College. Trump has repeated baseless conspiracy theories that alleged widespread voter fraud. In some battleground states, Trump’s legal team filed lawsuits attempting to reverse his defeat. During his Monday speech, Biden called his Electoral College win a “clear victory.” “Together, Vice President Harris and I earned 306 electoral votes while exceeding the 270 electoral votes needed to secure victory,” Biden said....

The former AEW star opened up about the match on this week’s UnSKripted and revealed details of an unscripted spot. Jax landed a stiff shot while Swole was positioned on the top turnbuckle. The 32-year-old star revealed that the moment wasn’t supposed to happen. Swole not only absorbed the blow but gave a receipt to Jax by connecting a well-placed kick. Despite the rough start, Swole said she enjoyed working with the former RAW Women’s Champion:...

The Illini had a chance to win on Tracy Abrams' shot, but it bounced off the front of the rim as the final buzzer sounded. Michigan (24-7), the regular season champion, advances to Saturday's semifinals with its seventh straight win. It will face either fourth-seeded Nebraska or fifth-seeded Ohio State — two teams it has not lost to this season. The Buckeyes and Cornhuskers play later Friday.

Sanctions generally aim to change behavior or deny the enemy something it wants for nefarious purposes. This economic and foreign policy tool is uniquely powerful for us, due to the importance of the dollar and the U....

Biden must engage in bold, top-level diplomacy with North Korea, while at the same time outdoing Trump by empowering a parallel bottom-up approach and coordinating closely with South Korea if the new administration hopes to achieve progress toward peace on the peninsula, the experts said. “There’s an opportunity here,” Philip Yun, a former presidentially appointed State Department official who now serves as president and CEO of the World Affairs think tank, told Newsweek....

The executive orders, some long-promised, center on constituting a family reunification task force for families separated by the Trump administration, that will work with representatives of impacted families and partners across the hemisphere to find separated families, while offering recommendations to President Joe Biden and federal agencies on steps they can take to reunify families. The orders also call for a review of the so-called Remain in Mexico policy that stranded asylum seekers, raise the refugee cap, and include policies that represent an about-face toward migration from Latin America....
