Pelosi answered several questions Sunday morning on ABC’s This Week, including one submitted in real time by the president himself, which saw her defending the House’s case against Trump. She did not rule out a future subpoena to have former national security adviser John Bolton testify in addition to her not excluding the possibility the House may file more articles of impeachment if the Senate botches the trial. The House speaker defended her controversial decision to hold onto the articles of impeachment, saying it “produced a positive result” of demanding documents and witnesses from a reluctant Republican Senate....

The footage was shown for the first time on Thursday amid the committee’s final public hearing on the insurrection. Clips of Pelosi on the phone with law enforcement and other federal employees to usher in backup for Capitol police were included among a compilation of rioters demanding entrance into the Senate chambers. Early on in the video, shared to Twitter by The Recount, Pelosi is shown speaking to staffers in an undisclosed location after the Senate floor was put on lockdown....

On Friday evening, the House passed the economic relief bill, called the American Rescue Plan, largely along party lines in a 219-212 vote. The sprawling package included $1.4 billion to strengthen transit rail infrastructure such as extending a line from San Jose to Santa Clara—known as the Bay Area Rapid Transit—and $1.5 million to fund the international crossing connecting the U.S. to Ontario, Canada. Pelosi’s office told CNN on Tuesday that those provisions will be removed as Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough has decided that they cannot be included....

The House is due to vote Thursday on a resolution that formalizes the current impeachment inquiry, setting out its scope and terms. Republican lawmakers had accused Democrats of mishandling the inquiry by not putting it to a vote. Trump allegedly pressured Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to open potentially damaging and spurious investigations into the Democratic Party and former Vice President Joe Biden, a leading candidate for the 2020 nomination, for his own political benefit....

“British Columbia authorities recently found an #AsianGiantHornet in a Japanese beetle trap not far from where nests were eradicated in Washington,” the tweet said. “The location was well within the flight distance from the U.S. nests.” Asian giant hornets, also informally known as murder hornets, are an invasive species that was first identified in the U.S. in December 2019. It is the largest species of hornet in the world, measuring two inches in length....

On a negative one, Murray needed to come through in the clutch after they nearly squandered a 27-point lead. Murray scored 33 points, including six in the final minute, and the Nuggets held off the Detroit Pistons 95-92 on Tuesday night to reach the 50-win mark. Trailing 66-39 at halftime, Detroit cut it to one on a 3-pointer by Reggie Jackson with 11.2 seconds remaining before Murray hit a pair of free throws to extend the lead....

Why a greatest-hits album? In the early ’80s, we ran through all the things that bands do that make them break up, and all the things that bands do that make them suck. One of the things that bands do when they run out of ideas is put out a live album or a greatest-hits record. We never ran out of ideas. For me, this marks the end of one chapter....

That day isn’t coming any time soon. As fierce fighting erupted in parts of Iraq in early April, the U.S.-led coalition tried to deploy U.S.-trained Iraqi units to quell the fighting. The results were disastrous: During the violence, many Iraqi police and civil defense personnel abandoned their posts, or joined Shiite militants loyal to renegade cleric Moqtada al-Sadr. What’s more, some soldiers of the first U.S.-trained battalion of the New Iraqi Army (NIA) deserted their unit or refused to follow orders....

Pakistan’s eight-month-old military regime is in a tight spot. Military leader Gen. Pervez Musharraf, under increasing pressure from the United States, is trying to crack down on militant groups. His government has begun to restrain radical sectarian organizations and to register madrassas – religious schools often used as militant-recruiting centers. One main government aim is to broaden the madrassas’ curricula from religion into mainstream subjects such as mathematics and science....

When my father was 6 years old, not long before the Korean War broke out, his Christian family fled to the south, hoping to escape the escalating violence, religious persecution and poverty. They escaped in the middle of the night through bouts of gunfire, my father carrying his younger cousin on his back. Years later, when I was also 6 years old, he would move again for a better life—taking my siblings and me from Seoul to the United States....

The France international joined Milan on loan at the start of the campaign from Chelsea, with the Italian club having an option to buy the player for a reported €35million fee. Bakayoko recently confirmed that a permanent move is dependent on the club’s ability to secure a return to the Champions League for the first time since the 2013-14 season. The 24-year-old has enjoyed his time in Serie A so far after struggling to make an impact at Stamford Bridge and, despite admitting that is future remains unclear, his focus is squarely on helping the Rossoneri qualify for European football’s premier competition....

Released on Bandai Namco’s YouTube channel, this new trailer comes with over two minutes of footage directly centered around both new and returning faces from My Hero Academia’s villainous roster. The new gameplay shown displays both the characters’ special moves and general powers, with many seemingly replicating the anime to an incredibly authentic degree. RELATED: My Hero Academia Features Final Fantasy Easter Egg The trailer begins showing off one of the My Hero One’s Justice 2’s biggest new additions: Season 4’s main antagonist, Kai Chisaki (aka, Overhaul)....

Mendy has been sidelined since rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during September’s Premier League clash with Crystal Palace. The France international returned to training last month and made the first appearance of his recovery playing for City’s Academy side in a 1-1 derby draw against rivals Manchester United on Friday. Mendy played the opening 45 minutes and was soon showing off his progress on Twitter, where he has become something of a celebrity during his injury layoff....

The centre-back played a key part in United’s 2-1 FA Cup semi-final victory over Tottenham at Wembley on Saturday, but looks an outside shot of being called up by England boss Gareth Southgate for the World Cup finals in Russia having not featured for his country since June 2017. However, the 28-year-old still hopes he may get a late call thanks to the role he continues to play for United eight years on from his 2010 move from Fulham....

So Molly and I set off with our guide Adi (while the boys opted to go bike riding and get manicures). We first visited a traditional village of the Batak peoples who are descended from Mongols via Burma, and until the early 19th century lived in perfect isolation thanks to rumors of their cannibalism. They were indeed cannibals who worshipped many spirits. Our guide explained that criminals were tried, convicted, and sentenced to death by beheading....

At first I thought she’d gone to Florida with my grandfather for the winter, but as time passed a darker explanation crossed my mind. Suicide? I called a relative, who said she had spotted my mother around town. So as long as I dialed her number and it wasn’t disconnected, I told myself that she was alive. Four months may sound like a long time for a parent to be out of touch, but it’s not, considering my mother’s history....

Everyone always refers to them as a pair, while I have to justify my actual relationship with them, even to their children. Seriously, I was relegated to the kids’ table until I was 34. When they were teenagers and I was little, our parents decided that it was easier to deal with us separately because the “big girls” didn’t want to do “baby stuff” with me. It made sense when I was 5, but it’s still happening now I’m 40....

Rahane was unbeaten on 108 at stumps on Day 3 of the second cricket Test against the West Indies here on Monday, which helped India gather a vital 304-run first innings lead against the hosts at the Sabina Park Stadium. India declared at 500/9 in their first innings as heavy rains forced play to be called off for the day. “I was disappointed with the way I got out in the first Test....
