From an empty classroom at Brandywine High School in Wilmington, Delaware, where she used to teach English before, Jill Biden closed out the second night of the Democratic National Convention with a personal speech dedicated to her husband, Joe Biden.

Jill Biden described him as a loving and dedicated father. He managed to rebuild his family after the passing of his first wife, Neilia, and their 1-year-daughter, Naomi, in a car accident in 1972, Jill Biden said.

In her view, her husband possesses the qualities to "heal a deeply divided nation." Rebuilding a family and rebuilding a country requires love, understanding, resilience,

The presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden has named former rival, senator Kamala Harris as his vice-presidential running mate.

It is a historic choice as if elected, the California senator would be the nation's first female, first black and first Asian American vice president.

Harris, who ran against Biden for the presidential nomination, is a daughter of immigrants from India and Jamaica. She is the first black and the first Asian American woman to be nominated by a majority party.

Kamala Harris is one of "the country's finest public servants," Biden said in a series of tweets on Tuesday.

President Trump signed four executive orders on Saturday to extend unemployment benefits, suspend payroll taxes, and secure federal eviction and student loan relief.

The unilateral move, based on shaky legal ground, comes after the fifth round of coronavirus relief debates in Congress. The President did not attend any of the talks, but he said his staff regularly updated him on the progress.

Trump announced the four executive orders during a press conference on Saturday from his private golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. It remained unclear whether he has the legal power to fulfill all of the pledges he made.

US Treasury Secretary Steve Munchkin excluded the possibility of extending the $600 per week employment benefits for Americans during the pandemic.

In an interview with the ABC's "This Week" on Sunday, Munchkin stressed that many unemployed US citizens were being "overpaid" and had no incentive to return to the job market.

According to him, the unemployment benefits are supposed to be wage replacement; therefore, they should be linked to some percentage of wages and not a flat fee. He explained that the government's outdated computer systems were the reason for having a flat fee now.

The Treasury Secretary noted that Republicans targeted "enhanced

In a recent interview with the Daily Caller, Sam Brownback, US ambassador of international religious freedom, made no attempt to pull any punches when he stated that the Communist Party of China was waging an all-out war on faith. China has even reportedly gone so far as to sanction those US officials who are shining a light on Beijing and their treatment of religious minorities.

Brownback explained the US's ongoing efforts to hold China's government to task for their alleged abuses of human rights aimed at Uighurs and other such Muslin minorities in the region of Xinjiang. The region has recently

California lawmakers are considering options to provide additional unemployment benefits with an extra USD 600 per week, funded by the federal government this month.

According to Democratic assemblyman Phil Ting, the chair of the legal working group, the Democratic lawmakers favor the idea. The financial aid for jobless Californians is considered if Congress failed to extend the federal pandemic benefit.

Ting, who is also serving as a chairman of the Assembly Budget Committee, highlighted that many locals rely on these benefits to pay rent and buy food. In his view, it is the state's job to intervene and help them.

President Trump has refused to condemn Russia over the poisoning of Putin's opponent Alexey Navalny, saying that Washington had not yet seen any proof.

According to the US President, what has happened to Navalny is ''tragic,'' and we should look at it ''very seriously.''

Trump also opined that everyone is always mentioning Russia, but in his view, China is a nation that we should be talking about much more than Russia.

Earlier this week, German chancellor, Angela Merkel, revealed test results conducted at a military laboratory, proving that the Kremlin critic had been poisoned with a nerve agent called Novichok. In her words,
