Coronavirus live news: US suffers one Covid death every minute as global cases near 60m Nevada’s governor, diagnosed with Covid-19 himself earlier this month, said on Sunday he was tightening coronavirus restrictions on casinos, restaurants and bars, while imposing a broader statewide mandate for face-coverings over the next three weeks. The new measures, effective on Tuesday, come as state and local government leaders around the United States have moved to reinstate a wide range of limits on social and economic life to tame an alarming surge of Covid-19 infections following a summertime lull in the pandemic. “Whether you believe in the science of Covid or not, the reality is this - Covid is filling up our hospital beds, and that threatens all Nevadans,” Governor Steve Sisolak, a Democrat said in announcing what he called a new “statewide pause”. The latest restrictions are likely to prove especially tough for a state whose economy, and the livelihood of its biggest city, Las Vegas, are largely dependent on tourism, gaming and the hospitality industry.

Low Treatment Huntington Beach You're a big state to me': Trump pitches rural voters at Iowa campaign rally President Trump made a direct appeal to suburban women during a campaign rally in the key battleground of Pennsylvania. Associated Press DES MOINES – Facing tightening polls with less than three weeks before Election Day, President Donald Trump sought to appeal to rural voters at a campaign rally in Iowa, a state he won handily just four years ago. "You're a big state to me," Trump told thousands of mostly maskless supporters at Des Moines International Airport in a nearly 90-minute speech. The president appeared at his third rally in as many days more than a week after he was hospitalized for COVID-19. The pair remain locked in a dead heat in Iowa but the former vice president leads Trump by 6 points in Michigan and Nevada, according to a CBS/YouGov poll taken between Oct. 6-9. "If I don't get Iowa I won't believe that one," Trump said. Trump disputed polls showing him tied or behind Biden, insisting that his campaign has "more enthusiasm now than we ever did four years ago."
Fact-checking Trump's and Barr's attacks on John Bolton's book Barr claimed that the timing of Bolton's book is "unprecedented," suggesting it is novel for a former official to write about ongoing policy issues while the president who appointed him is still in office. That isn't true. Trump claimed that Bolton "knows" he has not come close to completing the White House manuscript review process. Bolton's lawyer, however, says Bolton was told in late April that the process was finished. And Trump asserted that Bolton should face "criminal problems" for publishing allegedly classified information -- since, Trump claimed, "any conversation with me is classified." Bolton served as Trump's national security adviser until Trump ousted him in September 2019 after a series of policy disagreements. "This is unprecedented, really," Barr said during a Monday exchange with reporters at a White House roundtable. Bolton's book is scheduled to come out about nine months after he was ousted. The review process Cooper declined to comment to CNN on Monday.
Donald Trump Jr: The son who is Trumpier than Trump Image copyright Getty Images On the first night of the Republican Party convention, the president's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, took centre stage and commanded the nation's attention. "Trump's policies have been like rocket fuel to the economy," Mr Trump said during his speech, praising his father's leadership. But his most powerful lines were not about his the president; they were swipes at Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee for the presidency. "Biden's radical left-wing policies would stop our economic recovery cold," Mr Trump said. "Biden has promised to take that money back out of your pocket and keep it in the Swamp," Mr Trump said, adding: "That makes sense, considering Joe Biden is basically the Loch Ness Monster of the Swamp.

Trump’s Pardon of Flynn Signals Prospect of a Wave in His Final Weeks in Office WASHINGTON — When President Trump pardoned Michael T. Flynn on Wednesday, he did more than wipe clean the record of his first national security adviser, who had twice pleaded guilty to lying to the F.B.I. He also bolstered the hopes of a wide array of clemency seekers that he might deliver a wave of pardons and commutations before leaving office. Among the others looking for pardons are two former Trump campaign advisers, Rick Gates and George Papadopoulos, who like Mr. Flynn were convicted in cases stemming from the special counsel’s Russia investigation. But lawyers and others who have been in touch with the White House say they anticipate that Mr. Alan Dershowitz, the law professor who represented Mr. Mr. Several groups that have pushed for a criminal justice overhaul are working with an ad hoc White House team under the direction of Jared Kushner, Mr. The end of any presidential administration is a time for intense lobbying related to pardons. But in Mr. Mr. In addition to Mr. Mr.
Best Sports Bars In Dallas Live updates: George Floyd protests across the US It has now been more than 10 days since George Floyd died in Minneapolis, Minnesota, under the weight of a police officer's knee on his neck. Since then, protests have taken place across the nation, from major cities to small rural towns. Last weekend and the first few days of this week were marked by growing unrest, with many protests ending in violent clashes. In some cities, protesters threw projectiles and shone lasers, while police fired tear gas, pepper spray, and rubber bullets. The violence, and widespread looting in cities like New York, prompted authorities to enact curfews in many cities, including Washington, DC, and Los Angeles. Still, for many nights, protesters ignored the curfew and stayed on the streets. As the week comes to an end, the raw anger appears to be ebbing, with fewer violent confrontations, reports of looting, and arrests. There was also a sense of grief and mourning that set in on Thursday, when the first of several memorial services took place in Minneapolis.
