But Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken isn’t so sure. For weeks, Mr. Blinken has been under pressure to formally designate Russia a state sponsor of terrorism, a label currently reserved for North Korea, Syria, Cuba and Iran. But despite the emotional appeal, Mr Blinken is resisting a move that could force him to impose sanctions on US allies who do business with Russia and could erode any remaining vestiges of diplomacy between Washington and Moscow....

Russell died “peacefully” with his wife Janine by his side, a statement posted on social media said. Arrangements for his memorial service will be announced soon, according to the release. “But for all the victories, Bill’s understanding of the struggle is what illuminated his life. From boycotting a 1961 exhibition game to exposing discrimination that was too tolerated to leading his first comprehensive basketball camp Mississippi in the fiery aftermath of Medgar [Evers’] murder, in decades of activism finally recognized by receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom… Bill called out injustice with a relentless honesty intent on disrupting the status quo and a powerful example that, though never his humble intent, will forever inspire teamwork, selflessness and thoughtful change,” the statement said....

Efforts to design a so-called “pan-coronavirus vaccine” have so far proved largely fruitless. This type of jab should remain effective against frequent mutations. But scientists at the Francis Crick Institute now believe they have identified a genetic feature of Sars-CoV-2 that appears to be “similar” to a number of coronaviruses and is less prone to mutation, making it a potential target for a pan-coronavirus, or universal , vaccine. In their study, published today in Science Translational Medicine, the researchers investigated whether antibodies trained to target the S2 subunit of the Sars-CoV-2 spike protein can also neutralize other coronaviruses....

Researchers at the University of East Anglia tested 13 face shields by using a “coughing machine” to mimic a person facing someone who is coughing or sneezing near them. Lead researcher of the study Dr. Julii Brainard said in a news release that while some face shields provide some protection against the droplets, all of them failed to completely protect against them. “We found that large gaps around the sides, and sometimes the bottom or top, allow respiratory droplets from other people to get to the face and this means exposure to possible viruses,” Brainard said in a news release....

His nomination followed the mass resignation of al-Sadr’s parliamentary bloc, a group of over 70 lawmakers who withdrew from the governing body last month in an apparent show of force after months of political stalemate. Iraq has struggled to form a new government since parliamentary elections in October; Sadr’s own attempts to form a government have previously foundered amid opposition from rival blocs. “If the Sadrist bloc remaining [in parliament] is an obstacle to government formation, then all lawmakers of the bloc are honorably ready to resign from parliament,” Sadr said in a televised speech in June....

The practice involves “being present” with your thoughts and feelings, usually using breathing techniques. It is said to help people feel less distressed when dealing with stressful emotional situations, but now scientists say they have shown for the first time that it can also treat physical pain. They put about 30 healthy Americans through an eight-week mindfulness course and then compared them to a control group. Participants underwent brain scans before and after the course while their limbs were exposed to heat to demonstrate a pain response....
