Anthony Fauci to parrot a political message on coronavirus instead of a scientific one, emails obtained by Politico reveal.Paul Alexander, a senior adviser to HHS' assistant secretary for public affairs Michael Caputo, reportedly tried to shape Fauci's public medical advice via the National Institutes of Health's press office. Alexander's emails touched on everything from mask wearing to COVID-19 testing, and often "contradict mainstream science while promoting" the Trump administration's positions, Politico writes.In an Aug. 27 reply to Fauci's planned comments ahead of an interview with Bloomberg, Alexander said he disagreed "vehemently" with "kids getting tested and repeatedly and even university students in a widespread manner." Experts say widespread testing is a big key to stopping COVID-19 surges and virus spread altogether. And before an MSNBC interview on Tuesday, Alexander told the NIH press office to "ensure Dr. Fauci indicates masks are for the teachers in schools. Not for children." He falsely said "there is no data ... that shows children" can spread COVID-19 "to other children, or to adults."Fauci denied to Politico that anyone told him to withhold certain medical advice, and said he hadn't seen Alexander's emails. "No one tells me what I can say and cannot say. I speak on scientific evidence," he said. Alexander and the NIH did not respond to a request for comment.The report comes just after The Washington Post published an excerpt of Bob Woodward's forthcoming book, in which President Trump said he tried to "play down" the coronavirus' risks early in the pandemic. Fauci criticized Trump for spreading falsehoods during a press briefing, Woodward reported, while the president's top aides bristled at his harsh words.More stories from theweek.com The true Election Day nightmare scenario DHS whistleblower says he was told to stop providing Russia intelligence analysis, downplay threat of white supremacy More than half of households in 4 largest U.S. cities struggled financially during pandemic, poll showsTropical storms Rene and Paulette moving west through Atlantic; 2 more systems could develop FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Tropical Storm Paulette and Tropical Storm Rene, the season's 16th and 17th named storms formed in the Atlantic on Monday, and now Rene is expected to strengthen into the season's fifth hurricane this week, forecasters said Tuesday.

Prosecutors described the doctor, Robert A. Hadden, 62, as a “predator in a white coat,” accusing him of singling out young and unsuspecting victims, including a young girl he’d delivered at birth. The federal charges will be the second time Hadden is prosecuted over alleged abuse of patients.First Read is your briefing from "Meet the Press" and the NBC Political Unit on the day's most important political stories and why they matter.Why use one hue when you can use three?Originally Appeared on Architectural DigestThe demise of a young movie star has transfixed India like no other news in a year of bad headlines. The abrupt death of Sushant Singh Rajput has spurred a debate about the stigma of mental health, the rarefied insider world of Bollywood, and, more recently, condemnation of the media for the non-stop coverage of the duelling accusations between Rajput's family and his girlfriend. Mumbai police initially reported Rajput's death as accidental and local media called it a suicide.In his first sit-down interview since anti-government protests swept the nation, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko made a slight concession, The Guardian reports — the so-called "last dictator in Europe," who has held his post for 26 years, acknowledged he "may have sat in the president's chair a little too long." But, other than that, he denied responsibility for the unrest, instead pointing a conspiratorial finger at the United States, and reiterated that he does not plan on stepping down.Lukashenko reportedly told members of the Russian media — whom The Guardian notes did not appear to subject the ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin to tough questioning — that he believes Washington is orchestrating the protests via the messaging app Telegram from centers in Poland and the Czech Republic, using the situation as a dry run, more or less, for a similar operation in Russia for the future.The claims are unsubstantiated and dismissive of Belarus' growing, internal, and organic opposition movement that is seeking change from the autocratic regime in Minsk, although Lukashenko accused what he described as a class of "young bourgeois" in Belarus who "want power" of stirring up trouble, as well.

Norwegian far-Right politician Christian Tybring-Gjedde made the nomination following a “historic peace agreement” between the United Arab Emirates and Israel. The leader also praised Mr Trump for resolving other protracted conflicts worldwide and said he has made "tremendous efforts" in brokering peace. “For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees,” Mr Tybring-Gjedde told Fox News. In his nomination letter to the Nobel Committee, MrTybring-Gjedde said that the Trump administration played a significant role in the establishment of relations between Israel and the UAE. “As it is expected other Middle Eastern countries will follow in the footsteps of the UAE, this agreement could be a game changer that will turn the Middle East into a region of cooperation and prosperity." Under the terms of the agreement, which was overseen by Mr Trump, the UAE will sign a series of trade deals and normalise relations with Israel, who in return must suspend its controversial plans to annex parts of the West Bank. Mr Tybring-Gjedde also discussed Mr Trump’s role in “creating new dynamics” in other world conflicts, including facilitating contact between North and South Korea. The Norwegian politician told Fox News that he was "not a big Trump supporter", but that other leaders should follow his lead in reserving their judgment. "The committee should look at the facts and judge him on the facts – not on the way he behaves sometimes,” he said. "The people who have received the Peace Prize in recent years have done much less than Donald Trump. For example, Barack Obama did nothing.” Three other US presidents have won the peace prize, including Barack Obama, Woodrow Wilson, Jimmy Carter and Theodore Roosevelt. Mr Trump was previously nominated for the prize in 2018 following his efforts to solve North Korean nuclear tensions.Charly Jordan said she was quickly taken to a hotel to isolate when her test came back after a few days.Western security experts believe Lukashenko wants to be sure he is never the only unarmed man in the room, just in case his inner circle gets ideas.
