Over the weekend, Hanna battered the Matamoros campsite, causing wind and rain damage to the makeshift tents that some asylum seekers have been forced to call home for longer than a year now due to the Trump administration’s Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), which force asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their asylum claims are processed in the U.S. “We are suffering a lot,” Adrian, a Venezuelan man who has been waiting in Matamoros with his wife and 5-year-old son for nearly a year for their family’s asylum claims to be heard, told Newsweek on Sunday....

The two roles in Operation: Tango are the agent and the hacker. The agent’s gameplay takes place in the game’s real world, while the hacker’s gameplay takes place in a digital environment. The two will have to communicate verbally in order to solve their respective tasks and solve progressively more difficult puzzles. Both players experience the game from a first-person perspective, but neither will be seeing the same thing....

The doughnut-and-budget breakfast took place only six days after Clinton took office, in January 1993. Now, nearly four years later, Bob Dole and Bill Clinton are rehearsing for the pivotal moment of the 1996 presidential campaign: this Sunday’s televised debate in Hartford, Conn. And in a way, nothing has changed. The two are still taking each other’s measure, still debating taxes and spending, still circling each other, alternating bonhomie and blunt confrontation....

Garza is not the only one who’s impressed. Many education reformers think the Houston middle school and 14 other KIPP schools in 11 states and the District of Columbia may have found a better way to educate disadvantaged students. And KIPP has also become a national model for more widespread reform of charter-school programs. KIPP began in the mid-1990s, when Michael Feinberg and David Levin, two alums of Teach for America (which sends recent college graduates into urban schools), grew frustrated by their lack of progress teaching fifth graders in the Houston Independent School District....

Like many such episodes in Washington, however, the public drama didn’t begin to tell the real story. The behind-the-scenes machinations that led to Lister’s resignation two weeks ago had to do more with festering resentment over women in the ranks than it did with the honor of the marines. Lister was brought down by a carefully orchestrated campaign of conservative activists who know to manipulate the Beltway media machine....

A jury in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Friday found Rittenhouse not guilty of homicide and other charges. On Aug. 25, 2020, Rittenhouse shot at four men, killing two and wounding a third, with a semiautomatic rifle. Rittenhouse was in downtown Kenosha to protect a car dealership during unrest following the police shooting of Jacob Blake.

The €105m Paul Pogba problem Yeray, who made his senior debut last September, was diagnosed with testicular cancer in December and immediately had surgery to remove the tumour. However, 22-year-old has had to leave the Spain Under-21 squad to undergo treatment and is expected to be sidelined for three months, Athletic confirmed. “During a radiological check-up done on June 12, the latest of the follow-up tests done to monitor the progress of the testicular tumour that was detected and removed in December 2016, an anomaly (adenopathy) has been detected that needs to be treated and hence, in the coming days the player will undergo complementary treatment (chemotherapy) indicated by the specialists,” a statement released on Tuesday read....

Scans undertaken in recent days identified the issue, which relates to the spine, but a rehabilitation programme has not yet been formulated. Atletico said the 31-year-old requires special neurosurgery assessment before the full scale of the injury can be established. “The medical services of the club have conducted radiological tests of Diego Costa to assess the cervical discomfort suffered in recent days,” read an Atletico statement. “These tests have determined that the forward suffers a cervical disc herniation....

Diego Simeone’s men looked a far sterner defensive unit than they did in Tuesday’s woeful 3-2 Copa del Rey second-leg defeat to Las Palmas, but going forward looked devoid of craft for long periods. Initially they looked bright in attack and Gaitan, who was given just his fourth league start of the season after impressing on Tuesday, repaid Simeone’s faith with the opener. There was little else for Atletico supporters to get excited about, though, as Betis produced a strong performance of their own with home goalkeeper Miguel Angel Moya impressing....

The 22-year-old France international has been subject of interest from Arsenal and Liverpool among others, but he now appears destined for a move to La Liga. The Guadeloupe-born attacker joined Monaco from Caen ahead of the 2015-16 season, and eventually established himself as one of Ligue 1’s best left-sided players. Lemar broke through in the 2016-17 campaign, scoring 14 goals and adding 17 assists as Monaco won Ligue 1 and reached the Champions League semi-finals....

Currently on the Assassin’s Creed Facebook page, the full teaser piecing together what we’ve seen all week has been revealed to show what appears to be Altair on the left and a much older Ezio on the right, as well as Game Informer’s logo in the background. We can expect that Game Informer will be providing us with plenty of details about Assassin’s Creed Revelations in their June issue....

As with other barred doors in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, players will need to search thoroughly for a way around it. Thankfully, this one isn’t locked behind story progression or anything like that, so with enough ingenuity and determination players can find a way in to claim the book of knowledge.

In Assassin’s Creed, the Order of The Ancients is a secret underground society that goes back to at least 900 years before Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. The order’s goal is to seek out ancient relics of the gods, and they are very much a part of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Adze is one of the members, and a Warden of Law. Clues must be found to piece together her mystery, and the third one is particularly tricky....

Furthermore, it is very much worth learning the moveset of the Hammer weapon type, as there are some nuanced traits that swinging wildly and wantonly won’t reveal. Rest assured, Hammers are equally great at demolishing adversaries as they are building ships, though those of refined technique often make better use of their tools, whether for work or war....

A South Korean court found Bae guilty in October 2018 of assaulting Seul-Gi Kim on New Year’s Eve 2017. Bae was accused of choking, slapping and kicking her, according to multiple reports.

But Kim told The Athletic she believes Bae should be released....

Houston attorney Mark Lanier in U.S. Bankruptcy Court filed the lawsuit, and while an exact amount has yet to be listed in the suit, damage claims may climb well into the nine figures, including $550 million for the teams’ network equity lost from 2010, when CSN Houston was valued at $700 million. In 2014 the network was sold to DirecTV Sports Networks and AT&T Teleholdings for $1,000. MORE: Astros de-throne King Felix | 50 years of Astros logos, unis | Grading Astros’ broadcast booth...

Houston has proven time and again this postseason that not only is its inning far from over, but if anything, it is even more dangerous. That was the case yet again on Wednesday in Game 5 of the ALCS. The Astros drove in five runs with two outs to help propel the team to a commanding 9-1 win and a 3-2 series edge against the Red Sox.

Houston will be universally picked to finish at the bottom of the American League West this season. In future years, though, that may not be the case. The Astros’ long, carefully planned rebuild has the team pointing in the right direction—even if the process is a little painful. In their first season in the tough AL West, the Astros lost a major league-worst 111 games. SN POWER RANKINGS: Astros come in at No....
