Cambridge, MA--The first images, collected once per hour over a six-hour time window Aug. 2, give a preview of TEMPO's ability to track nitrogen dioxide on an hourly basis in geographic areas as small as four square miles, or about the size of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Nitrogen dioxide is a toxic pollutant involved in the formation of ground-level ozone and particle pollution, and it is primarily released from burning fuel. "Our first look at TEMPO's data shows that it is working superbly," said Xiong Liu, the deputy principal investigator of the TEMPO mission, a senior physicist from SAO and a member of the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian (CfA) in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Dear Luv Doc, At a show last week me and my friend started talking to a couple of random guys next to us. They were maybe Australian (it was loud) and they were making us laugh talking about all of the strange people they had run into earlier in the day. At some point my friend's boyfriend (who was standing on the other side of my boyfriend) walked up to my friend and grabbed her arm and said, "We're leaving," and basically dragged her out of the club. The Australian guys gave me a look like, "What's his problem?" I grabbed my boyfriend's hand and followed them outside to see what was up.

JOHANNESBURG — South Africa's presidential security advisor said on Saturday the country was 'actively non-aligned' in Russia's war against Ukraine, after U.S. allegations it had supplied weapons to Moscow led to a diplomatic crisis this week. The U.S. ambassador to South Africa Reuben Brigety said on Thursday he was confident a Russian ship under U.S. sanctions had collected weapons from a base near Cape Town in December. Senior U.S. officials had 'profound concerns' about South Africa not respecting its professed policy of non-alignment, he added.

UNITED NATIONS -The UN secretary-general's office expressed concern Thursday over a slowdown in Ukrainian grain exports across the Black Sea, citing the 'specter of food inflation' as Russia demands better treatment of its own agricultural products. A crucial agreement allowing Ukrainian grain to reach the global market despite Moscow's invasion — signed in July 2022 by Russia, Ukraine, Turkey and the United Nations — was renewed again in May but for only two months, until July 17. Moscow is demanding guarantees on another agreement concerning its own exports, in particular of fertilizer components.

Alex Wong/Getty Images (WASHINGTON) -- At an event Tuesday highlighting her contributions to American diplomacy as the 67th secretary of state, Hillary Clinton barbed her political rivals, issuing thinly veiled criticisms of her one-time presidential opponent Donald Trump and taking direct aim at Russian leader Vladimir Putin. After being introduced by current Secretary of State Antony Blinken, she thanked him for the contributions he had made so far, remarking that at one point it would have been nearly unthinkable for the United States and its allies to remain united behind Ukraine because of what she described as damage done during the Trump administration -- without ever calling out the former president by name.
