In February, Working Washington called out DoorDash for their payment structure. According to the organization, DoorDash paid just $1 per delivery, but also guaranteed its workers a base amount that they were guaranteed for that delivery. So, if a delivery was worth $10, but the customer didn’t tip, DoorDash would pay the driver $10. That policy was to protect their drivers from customers who might choose to tip nothing. But if a customer did tip, DoorDash would put that money towards that base amount....

The popular dating app has joined forces with City and the pair shouted about their new relationship from above the rooftops with a branded blimp taking to the Manchester skies on Thursday. “We believe this will be a perfect match for Tinder and for City,” said City Football Group’s chief commercial officer Tom Glick. Pep Guardiola will be hoping City can swipe their Champions League quarter-final first-leg defeat right out of their minds and claim the Premier League title by defeating arch-rivals Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday....

As previously reported by Newsweek, soon after Trump concluded his speech, Pelosi stood up behind him and tore her copy of the address in half. Leaving the House of Representatives afterward, Pelosi explained that she had done so, “because it was the courteous thing to do considering the alternatives.” The White House tweeted soon after the ripping incident, criticizing Pelosi by pointing out some of the people who had been invited to attend the State of the Union address in person....

Right now, instead of continuing their petty squabbling, the United Nations’ leading members should be working together to strengthen the organization created in 1945 to deal with just such a crisis. And the primary role should be played by the organization’s founding member, its largest contributor, its host country. After all, the attack on the United Nations was also an attack on the United States. Yet at this crucial moment the leadership needed from Washington is curiously missing....

As it takes power once again after a two-decade hiatus, it brings with it a well-earned reputation for historical and cultural violence. There have been reports of human rights abuses and clear attempts to limit the personal freedom of citizens. As before, Taliban repression has three primary areas of focus: women, art and education. “It was heartbreaking to see the Taliban walking so easily into a city that is a cultural hub, a city of poetry and culture,” Fereshteh Forough of Herat, Afghanistan, told Newsweek....

Halpern explained the motivations behind his decision in an op-ed piece for the San Diego Tribune published Wednesday, and primarily cited U.S. Attorney General William Barr’s conduct during President Donald Trump’s term in office. “After 36 years, I’m fleeing what was the U.S. Department of Justice — where I proudly served 19 different attorneys general and six different presidents,” Halpern wrote, noting his respect for federal leaders was consistent regardless of their political affiliations....

The legendary real-time strategy, Age of Empires, was introduced in October 1997 and has ever since been considered one of the most prominent games in its genre. After a long hiatus, Microsoft-owned Xbox Game Studios revived the revered franchise last year with Age of Empires 4. Its predecessor, Age of Empires 3, was originally developed by the now-closed Ensemble Studios and was released to the public in 2005. Even after a tremendous downtime, the game seemed to pick up where the franchise left off and was considered one of 2021’s best multiplayer experiences....

Speaking to ABC’s Good Morning America on Thursday, attorney S. Lee Merritt, who is representing the family, argued that prosecutors could directly indict the suspects, Travis and Gregory McMichael, and that there was nothing stopping police from arresting the son and father. Arbery was shot multiple times on February 23 in Brunswick, Georgia after the McMichaels followed him in their truck during his routine afternoon jog. No arrests have been made and no charges have been filed....

Nuclear fusion is the process of joining atomic nuclei together, which releases energy. It is the same process that powers stars, including our sun. For decades, scientists have tried to harness the energy released by nuclear fusion reactions because of the many potential benefits this form of energy generation would have. Fusion reactions are clean and do not produce greenhouse gases or large amounts of radioactive waste. They also release huge amounts of energy, and the hydrogen isotopes that fuel them are abundant....

The Blacks Caps followed up their crushing win over Sri Lanka by getting home by just two wickets in a tense encounter with Bangladesh on Wednesday. Ross Taylor made a crucial 82 after the impressive Matt Henry claimed 4-47 in a gripping contest at The Oval. It would be a major shock if New Zealand fail to maintain their 100 per cent record on Saturday. Afghanistan have lost both games so far and suffered another blow when wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Shahzad was ruled out of the rest of the tournament with a knee injury, with Ikram Ali Khil replacing him....

The Egyptians would be looking to start strong, as they attempt to put to rest the ghosts of their disappointing Russia 2018 campaign. They finished bottom of a World Cup group considered weak by many. That disappointment ushered in coach Javier Aguirre, and his Egyptian setup is considered a very potent goal-scoring threat because in their last 8 games they scored 20 goals. This Egyptian team seems the real deal, and they are tipped to go all the way....

Speaking to reporters after the leaders’ conversation on Saturday, a senior U.S. administration official said that Biden was “very direct with President Putin about our concern, the safety and security of Americans still in Ukraine” after the U.S. leader and his top officials called on U.S. citizens to leave the country before the end of the weekend.
