Berlin Zoo welcomes visitors as Germany slowly reopens following its coronavirus lockdown.
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — A judge has ruled in favor of tribal nations in their bid to keep Alaska Native corporations from getting a share of $8 billion in coronavirus relief funding — at least for now.
The ruling comes in a case brought by at least 15 tribes against the Treasury Department. The tribes allege that Congress intended the funding to go only to tribal governments and that the corporations don’t fit within the definition of “Indian Tribe” in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act.
The Treasury Department and the U.S. Justice Department representing the Treasury did not immediately respond to requests for comment Monday.Tokyo Olympics unrealistic without vaccine, Japan medical expert says “I hope vaccines and drugs will be developed as soon as possible,” Japan Medical Association President Yoshitake Yokokura said Tuesday.
