WASHINGTON () - California Governor Gavin Newsom announced during a press briefing a four-phase roadmap to reopen the state’s economy. Phase 1 includes plans for workflow focusing on supply chains, physical and environmental considerations, and plans to modify the stay-at-home order. "As we move into phase 2, where businesses can begin to reopen, we need to make sure that guidance is not abused and it is organized in a very deliberative way", Newsom said on Tuesday.

US Sends 70 Arms-Loaded Trucks to Northeastern Syria The US army dispatched tens of trucks loaded with military equipment and weapons to its base in Hasaka. The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights website reported on Tuesday that 70 trucks belonging to the US forces arrived in Tal Baidar and Qasrak bases in Northeastern Syria from al-Walid passageway on Monday.

SANA reported earlier this month that a convoy of at least 35 trucks, carrying cement blocks and logistic supplies, had crossed into Syrian territory through illegi...
