At 48, Judge is an unlikely art-world visionary. The son of a navy man, he worked small jobs through college in Kolkata, then moved to Delhi to join a cousin’s garment business. Frustrated with the family company, he struck out on his own, using his father’s $200 pension as startup capital for a clothing company in 1987. Today his interests include construction, chemicals, investment, real estate, and Barista, a coffee chain that started as a tiny café....
The IOC’s Executive Board said in the statement that Russia and Belarus breached the Olympic Truce, which calls for a truce from seven days before the Olympics to seven days after. By invading Ukraine four days after the Games, Russia directly violated the truce, while Belarus violated it by supporting Russia. Some international sports organizations, such as UEFA, have already taken it upon themselves to move events out of Russia, but the IOC statement encourages a larger movement....

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani accused the U.S. during a cabinet session Wednesday of seeking “to interfere in the normal trade between Iran and a friendly country in carrying an oil product,” something he argued “has nothing to do with them and is not compatible with any law.” Without mentioning Venezuela by name, he referred to successful Iranian shipments in the Caribbean, where at least three of five tankers have already entered the waters off the socialist-led, fuel-starved Latin American nation....
Biden is demanding that Iran scale back its nuclear program in line with JCPOA restrictions before American sanctions are lifted. However, Iranian leaders have said they will not return to compliance until the U.S. eases sanctions and does the same. Tehran is casting around for allies to help offset American pressure, along with the threat from regional U.S. allies like Israel and Saudi Arabia. International sanctions crippled Iran’s economy before the signing of the JCPOA in 2015, and since former President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the deal in 2018 American sanctions have done so again....
Demonstrators have flooded the streets in Iran in the weeks following the September 16 death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman who was arrested by Iran’s morality police and accused of improperly wearing a hijab, or headscarf, while visiting the country. Amini allegedly was severely beaten while in custody and later died from a fatal head injury. Iranian authorities have not taken responsibility for her death. Earlier this week, members of the Iranian parliament called on the judiciary to deliver harsh punishments, which could include the death penalty, for the protesters, who mostly consist of university students and women....
Foreign ministry spokesperson Seyed Abbas Mousavi told reporters Monday that the fire aboard the USS Bonhomme Richard “is not relevant to us.” The fire broke on Sunday and spread across the ship, injuring more than 20 people as teams of firefighters sought to bring the blaze under control. But according to Iran’s state-controlled PressTV channel, Mousavi added, “It’s interesting how quickly U.S. destroyers catch fire,” referring to the Bonhomme Richard, which is capable of carrying a mix of fighter jets and helicopters....
The mere possibility that Iran might try to force the issue was enough for President Bush to warn Teheran last week against a military move into Iraq. Iran is already involved in the uprising, albeit to a limited extent. NEWSWEEK has learned that at least some Iranian Revolutionary Guards have been infiltrated into southern Iraq along with truckloads of small arms. Teheran has also allowed Iraqi rebel units based in Iran to return home to join the uprising, but denies it is supplying them with fresh weapons and ammunition....
Ghazal Ranjkesh, described as a law student from the city of Bandar Abbas in Hormozgān Province, is seen in the footage lying down with a bandage over her right eye. “She lost her right eye to pellet bullets during the protests,” tweeted Omid Memarian, a senior Iran analyst at the organization Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN). “‘The last image my right eye recorded was the person’s smile when he shot,’ she says....
The details of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh’s murder remain murky, as is typically the case in targeted assassinations in the region. By all accounts, the former Revolutionary Guard officer, who was widely regarded as the godfather of the Iranian Defense Ministry’s nuclear program, was gunned down in the streets of Absard, east of Tehran, in a brazen attack in the heart of the Islamic Republic. Iranian officials, including Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Shamkhani, quickly alleged that the country’s top foe, Israel, was behind the slaying....
The Iraqis are getting cleverer as the Americans try to shield U.S. troops with more and more armor. In a recent incident, insurgents used a small IED to blow out the tires of one vehicle. When the passengers scrambled out to transfer to another vehicle, a larger IED detonated, killing two. “Sadly, it seems that we’re the ones lagging behind. They’re getting better and better at it,” says Robert Lamburne, the director of forensic services at the British Embassy in Baghdad....
Which makes his current predicament all the more shocking. Pacheco, 25, now sits in a Laredo jail, where he spoke exclusively with a NEWSWEEK reporter. As he tells it, he needed work after returning from Iraq and joined the National Guard. Eventually, he was deployed as part of Operation Jump Start to help Border Patrol agents combat illegal immigration. “I couldn’t believe the amount of drugs and illegal aliens people were trying to smuggle through,” he says....
Public images of populist Shiite Muqtada al-Sadr getting vaccinated last week circulating online has prompted many to put aside their distrust of the Iraqi government, which called for its citizens to get vaccinated. “I was against the idea of being vaccinated. I was afraid, I didn’t believe in it,” Manhil Alshabli, 30, told the AP. “But all this has changed now.” “Seeing him getting the vaccine has motivated me,” Alshabli added and compared watching al-Sadr get vaccinated as soldiers watching their leader in the front lines of a battle....

Charles Philip Arthur George is Prince of Wales no longer as the succession within the British royal family happens automatically and instantly upon the death of a sovereign.

Plain coffee should be gluten-free to very low levels, assuming it hasn’t been cross-contaminated by gluten (we’ll consider flavored coffees in a minute, since they can be riskier from a gluten standpoint). However, lots of people who follow the gluten-free diet do report gastrointestinal symptoms from coffee/ These symptoms resemble their symptoms from gluten consumption. So, what is actually going on? Regular coffee contains caffeine, which can lead fairly quickly to a bad case of the runs....
