Kohli, currently being thwarted by rain in a bid to win the 2nd Test against West Indies, uploaded a collage of two photos on Twitter – one which shows him being interviewed by Dravid in recent times, and the other which shows a starry-eyed and much younger version of Kohli gazing at Dravid in a dressing room from ten years ago. The picture is accompanied by an inspirational message about following one’s dreams and how they can come true just by persevering – “Moments like these make you believe and feel grateful for where you are....

Confederate monuments became a controversial flashpoint during U.S. protests against racism. Protesters viewed the statues as representations of slavery and hatred going back to the U.S. Civil War. Some Democratic lawmakers agreed, stating a desire to see the monuments removed. In some states, demonstrators defaced the statues with graffiti or attempted to topple them. While many of Richmond’s Confederate monuments had already been taken down, Monday’s decision allows them to be permanently relocated....

The federal lawsuit was filed by civil rights attorney Victor Glasburg on behalf of a Costa Rican woman only identified as “Jane Doe” in the suit.

Stephane Roussel, CEO of Parisian developer and Vivendi subsidiary Gameloft, spoke to the French press about the situation last week. He reiterated the fact that Vivendi wants to have a bigger presence in terms of video games, as Gameloft is a relatively small studio. Ubisoft still seems to be the most desirable option, given that it’s a studio of French origin, and has a stable of franchises that are instantly recognizable to gamers all over the world....

First up, Vivo unveiled its flagship X80 series in China, and confirmed plans to bring them worldwide next month too. The X80 and X80 Pro (no Pro+ yet, but it’s coming later in the year) both feature serious camera specs and use the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset – with an extra 8 Gen 1 option for the Pro. The X70 series won the camera battle last year, so can the X80 repeat the trick?...

Celebrating the last day of the league in the city, the people of Vizag came to cheer for their home-team one last time in the beautiful Rajiv Gandhi Port Indoor Stadium. An even-steven clash, both Vizag and Delhi had a lot to play for. If the Titans had the might of their terrific trio of raiders- Rahul Chaudhari, Sukesh Hegde and Deepak Niwas Hooda, the Dabang boys had their indomitable defending duo in the form of Jasmer Singh and Amit Singh....

He was replaced by Brandon Drury at third base. Guerrero was the No. 1 prospect in MLB coming into this season, according to MLB Pipeline.

The vast majority the party has in the 450-seat Duma will continue whatever happens over the weekend, but the most high-profile opposition group, the movement of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, insists gains can be made. “We don’t have a crystal ball,” Navalny’s key ally, Vladimir Ashurkov told Newsweek, “but whether we can get 50 independent deputies to the parliament, we will see. That would be a formidable achievement.” Despite being jailed in February for violating parole over a 2014 conviction he says was politically motivated, Navalny’s influence has reached beyond the bars he is held behind....

The ID. Buzz began life as a concept five years ago, following up on a previous EV that also looked like the famous bus. There have been more iterations since then, but now the public can see its production form. The new vehicle uses VW’s MEB platform for electric vehicles (EVs). It already underpins several Audi and VW battery electric vehicles (BEVs), and VW says it will eventually work with 80 percent of its models, including some in the commercial portfolio....

“In some ways, this young giant (Kohli) is a combination of all those three (Sehwag, Tendulkar and Dravid), learning a bit from them all to shape his own unique creation. He is the next chosen one. He exudes the intensity of Rahul, the audacity of Virender, and the extraordinary range of Sachin. That doesn’t make him better, simply sui generis, his own unique kind,” said Crowe in a column on ESPNCricinfo....

“It’s basically my first full assignment as Test captain. In Bangladesh it was a one odd Test match it wasn’t a full-fledged series. So it will be a new challenge for me and the whole team because we have such a young squad and so many new players looking to build their careers,” he said. “It is an exciting challenge to start together as a new unit. It is exciting for me and as a team....

Senate Bill No. 245, introduced by Democratic state Senator Scott Surovell of Mount Vernon earlier this month, would amend Virginia’s statutory law to state that no counselor can lawfully “engage in conversion therapy with a person under 18 years of age.” “Not only is this practice harmful to our youth developing their gender identity, but from a legal standpoint, conversion therapy is abusive given the mental health repercussions,” Surovell wrote in a statement emailed to Newsweek....

The funds will mean at least one school resource officer (SRO) will be at each school in the county.

Reverend Robert M. Grant Jr., pastor of The Father’s Way Church in Warrenton, was invited to deliver the opening prayer on Tuesday morning and used the opportunity to speak out against a number issues including gay marriage and abortion.

“I am taking this step because science increasingly shows us that the virus spreads less easily when everyone is wearing face coverings,” Northam said during a Tuesday news conference. “This is about protecting those around us—especially our workers.” Under the new state guidelines, facial coverings must be worn inside all places where people can congregate, the governor said. Retail businesses, restaurants, barbershops, government buildings and public transit were all identified by Northam as examples of places where the requirements will be in effect....

McCray described the incident in a June 7 sermon, explaining that the group became violent after he asked them not to dispose of a refrigerator on his property. He recalled them “telling me that my black life, and that Black Lives Matter stuff…they don’t give a darn about that stuff in this county, and they could care less, and ‘We will kill you.’” Earlier during the sermon, McCray spoke about Minneapolis resident George Floyd’s death in police custody at the end of May, which prompted widespread Black Lives Matter demonstrations protesting police abuse and systemic racism....
