2021-04-16 05:05:00 Repeal of the resolution of the Board of Governors of the Agency،Withdrawal of Iran or the West?
European and American troika withdraws critical resolutions against nuclear activities against the IAEA Board, and the IAEA Board of Governors does not take a position on Iran.
Earlier, Iranian officials had threatened to end a three-month agreement with the IAEA on maintaining some oversight of additional accession agreements if passed.
Rafael Grossi has announced that he will go to Iran in another month to implement a technical agreement.
The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran also welcomes the decision of the West.
Europe and the United States also announced that they would give the Islamic Republic a month to reconsider
Reuters quotes a French diplomatic source as saying that in recent days there have been encouraging signs of a resumption of nuclear diplomacy and the start of informal talks by the Islamic Republic of Iran.
A play of media or the truth?

2021-04-10 07:36:11 CNN also confirmed that 53 House Republicans out of 211 have been vaccinated. Thirteen Republicans told CNN they have not been vaccinated even as many said they planned to be. CNN did not receive a response from 145 House Republicans.
The survey comes as health officials around the country are encouraging Americans to get vaccinated and as frustration mounts to restore the House, which has extended the length of each vote to allow for social distancing, to a more regular way of functioning.

CNN confirmed that 189 Democrats out of 219 in the House have been vaccinated. One Democrat confirmed he had not been vaccinated but planned to be and there were 29 Democrats for whom CNN did not receive responses.

2021-04-02 08:30:48 Biden and Harris did not explicitly state that they considered the shootings earlier this week a hate crime. But they noted that whatever the motivation of the shooter, the killings come amid rising hate crimes against Asian Americans in the United States.
"Racism is real in America and it has always been. Xenophobia is real in America and always has been -- sexism too," said Harris, who is America's first Black and South Asian vice president.
The vice president said: "For the last year, we've had people in positions of incredible power scapegoating Asian Americans -- people with the biggest pulpits spreading this kind of hate. Ultimately this is about who we are as a nation. This is about how we treat people with dignity and respect."

2021-04-02 08:29:57 They had originally planned to travel to Atlanta to tout the benefits of the $1.9 trillion Covid-19 economic relief package that Biden recently signed into law, but the White House scrapped plans for a rally after the shooting.
"The conversation we had today with the (Asian American and Pacific Islander) leaders, and that we're hearing all across the country, is that hate and violence often hide in plain sight. It's often met with silence," Biden said. "That's been true throughout our history, but that has to change because our silence is complicity."
Biden urged Congress to pass the Covid-19 Hate Crimes Act, which he has said would expedite the federal government's response to hate crimes that have risen during the pandemic, support state and local governments to improve hate crimes reporting and make information on hate crimes more accessible to Asian American communities.
