In a spartan hillside room in India furnished only with a thin sleeping mat, the Myanmar member of parliament spends much of his days attentively listening to Zoom conference calls and tapping away messages on his smartphone. The short, soft-spoken man is among roughly a dozen ousted Myanmar MPs who have fled across the border to India's remote northeastern region after the military's Feb. 1 coup and lethal crackdown on dissent. Reuters spoke to two of the lawmakers and to a Myanmar politician, all involved with the CRPH, a body of ousted lawmakers that is attempting to re-establish the civilian government and displace the military.

The organiser could not be reached for comment, and Adidas declined to comment.
Top aides to President Joe Biden are ramping up pressure on the agency that shelters thousands of unaccompanied migrant children, voicing frustration that kids are not being released quickly enough from detention, three U.S. officials said. In daily calls with representatives from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other agencies, White House officials have demanded HHS speed up releases from its overloaded shelter system to free up space for children packed into crowded border patrol stations, the officials said. HHS is in charge of housing the migrant children and vetting potential U.S. sponsors, often parents and close relatives, who seek to take them in.

Maxi Bagnasco says he knows Diego Maradona's features by heart after painting portraits of the soccer star almost daily since the Argentine World Cup winner died last November. The artist, who creates lifelike paintings with spray paint on huge canvases, decided to make Maradona his niche after the outpouring of grief over the footballer's death. "I am not afraid of being pigeonholed, I believe that what everyone sees from me is the hand of God," Bagnasco told Reuters with a smile, a reference to Maradona's famous goal against England at the 1986 World Cup, which Argentina went on to win.

Nine lives notwithstanding, killing a cat in a hit-and-run soon could become illegal in New Hampshire. New Hampshire was ahead of the pack when it passed a law nearly 40 years ago that requires drivers who injure or kill dogs to notify police or the animals’ owners, or else face a $1,000 fine. It is unclear why cats and other pets were left out, but the state Legislature is currently considering an expansion that would give cats and canines equal standing.

Caster Semenya retained her 5,000 metres title at the South African Athletics Championships on Thursday and confirmed she would not be attempting to qualify for the 200m at the Tokyo Games. The double Olympic 800-metres champion cannot compete over her favoured distance having refused to abide by a World Athletics ruling that athletes with differences in sexual development (DSDs) competing in races ranging from 400 metres to a mile must reduce their naturally high levels of testosterone. She has taken that fight to the European Court of Human Rights but it seems unlikely that there will be an outcome before the July 23-Aug. 8 Olympics.

This virtual reality experience is designed to fight racism, at a time when racial unrest is flaring across the United States.Software engineer Bryant Young drew on his own experiences when creating it.Courtesy: Our America "So Our America VR is a branching narrative VR experience about being Black in America. It takes you through the story as a Black father and he's with his son, Malcolm, on the way to school. So basically, the audience has to go through these different scenarios, whether it's subtle or overt racism, and has to navigate these different conversations and interactions properly." "It's unfortunate that the project is timely because that means the stuff is still going on, but this isn't stuff that we didn't know was going on. We in the Black community, we knew this was happening beforehand, it's just that now there's a bigger light being shown than justice in America. I really just hope that this experience can make some positive change, whether it just makes one person change your mind and be like, hey, maybe I should rethink about how I view the Black community or how (I view) what they're going through.''The project caught the eye of 3D software company, Unity, who awarded Young a grant to fully realize his project, as part of their Unity For Humanity competition.Young said the idea was born out of an unpleasant interaction he had with a police officer when he was a 16-year-old driver. The 25-year-old and his team hope to have it finished by September.'It's not five minutes in a VR headset, but hopefully this is going to bring some insight so people can better understand our situation and things that we go through on a daily basis."
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said on Thursday the government would do "everything possible" to prevent the spread of coronavirus ahead of the Olympics, after a ruling party official said cancelling the event remained an option. "There's no change to the government's stance, to do everything possible to prevent the spread of infections as we head towards the Olympics," Suga said, sidestepping a reporter's question as to whether cancellation was possible, as party heavyweight Toshihiro Nikai had said earlier. Suga was speaking to reporters at the prime minister's official residence ahead of his trip to the United States for a meeting with President Joe Biden.
