GOTHENBURG, Sweden (AP) — Spain's World Cup-winning women's team got back to being soccer players on Friday. A 3-2 victory over Sweden in Gothenburg — secured by a penalty with virtually the last kick of the game — was Spain's first match since capturing the biggest prize in women's soccer last month in Australia. That achievement ultimately was tarnished by a sexism scandal sparked by the former Spanish soccer federation president, Luis Rubiales, kissing player Jenni Hermoso on the lips during the World Cup awards ceremony.

Three judges on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals -- one of the most conservative courts in the country -- appeared open to limiting access to the medication as they questioned a Biden administration attorney about FDA's assessment of the drug mifepristone's safety and effectiveness.

MANILA, Philippines — Tropical Storm 'Mawar,' which remains outside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR), is expected to develop into a severe tropical storm within 24 hours, the state weather bureau said on Saturday. According to state weather specialist Veronica Torres, Mawar will likely become a severe tropical storm and may enter PAR by Friday or over the weekend. Although Mawar may not directly affect parts of the country, Torres said that it might enhance the southwesterly wind flow, which may bring cloudy skies, scattered rain showers, and thunderstorms in the southern part of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

TOKYO , Jul 24 ( devdiscourse.com ) - As part of US-led efforts to stop China from creating high-end semiconductors suitable for military applications, Japan's curbs on the export of advanced chip-making equipment went into effect on Sunday, Kyodo news reported. Japan included 23 goods used in chip fabrication that need authorization for export with the modification of a trade ministry ordinance under the foreign currency law. In apparent retaliation for US semiconductor export limits that target China, Beijing has declared that it will limit the exports of gallium and germanium, two rare earth metals essential for chip manufacture, starting next month, according to Kyodo news.
