  A younger mayor from the San Francisco Bay’s wine united states had been accused of sexually abusing and assaulting women. First there have been 4 accusers. Then 4 more. A former lady friend accused Dominic Foppoli, the mayor of “friendly, family-oriented” Windsor, of sexually abusing her. Another lady stated he compelled himself on her at some stage in an alcohol-fueled warm bath celebration at his family’s winery. A city council colleague stated she may have been drugged earlier than she was once sodomized following a neighborhood clambake. The headlines had been stunning, however they got here now not from Sonoma County’s main media outlet, the Press Democrat, however from its big-city rival, the San Francisco Chronicle.

  If President Joe Biden receives his way, it will quickly be a long way easier to immigrate to the United States. There will be shorter, less complicated forms and applicants will have to soar thru fewer security hoops. Foreigners will have higher possibilities to join their households and greater probabilities to secure work visas.

    China’s top decision-making body said Monday the government would ease its birth-control policy to allow all couples in the country to have three children, the state-run Xinhua News Agency reported. The move is the latest measure aimed at tackling China’s aging population after Beijing  relaxed its birth policy  to let couples have up to two children in 2015. The announcement comes just weeks after a once-in-a-decade census  showed China’s population on the cusp of a historic turning point  after decades of rapid growth.

The Politburo also pledged to improve the nation’s maternity-leave policies, enhance its tax and housing policies and better protect the rights of female workers in a bid to encoura

  Naomi Osaka was fined $15,000 when she skipped the news conference after her first-round victory at the French Open on Sunday — and drew a stunning warning from all four Grand Slam tournaments that she could face stiffer penalties, including disqualification or even suspension, if she continues to avoid the media. Osaka returned to Roland Garros after sitting out the tournament last year and turned in a mistake-filled 6-4, 7-6 (4) victory over 63rd-ranked Patricia Maria Tig at Court Philippe Chatrier on Day 1. She had declared Wednesday on social media she would not speak to the press and kept that promise. Hours later, Osaka turned to her preferred method of communication these days, tweeting: "anger is a lack of understanding. change makes people uncomfortable." Other results perhaps were more newsworthy than a straight-set win by the No. 2-ranked Osaka — U.S. Open champion and two-time French Open runner-up Dominic Thiem's 4-6, 5-7, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 loss to 68th-ranked
