Joe Biden's two surviving children Hunter and Ashley Biden introduced their father moments before he accepted the Democratic nomination for president on Thursday.Also joining Hunter and Ashley was Beau Biden, whose words from a past convention were added to the introduction. Beau Biden died in 2015 after a battle with brain cancer."We want to tell you what kind of president our dad will be. He will be tough and honest, caring and principled. He'll listen, be there when you need him. He'll tell you the truth even when you don't want to hear it. He'll never let you down,” Hunter and Ashley Biden said, trading lines.Hunter Biden became a household name last year when word came that President Donald Trump called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Hunter Biden’s role with Burisma, an oil firm owned by a Ukrainian. Hunter Biden held a job with the company as his father served his second term as vice president.As vice president, Joe Biden was among western leaders who called for the exodus of Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin. Trump and the White House tried to claim that Biden's push to ouster the prosecutor was influenced by his son's role with Burisma, but both Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill in addition to other western nations joined in calling for the ouster of Shokin.The controversy with Hunter Biden was a campaign issue early on during the primaries."My son did nothing wrong," Joe Biden said during an October debate. "I did nothing wrong. I carried out the policy of the United States government in rooting out corruption in Ukraine. And that's what we should be focusing on." 1642

KATHMANDU, Nepal — China and Nepal have jointly announced a new official height for Mount Everest, ending a discrepancy between the two nations that share a border on the world's highest mountain. The new height of the world's highest peak is 8,848 meters (29,032 feet), slightly more than Nepal's previous measurement and about four meters (13 feet) higher than China's. It's also higher than the 29,029-foot-height commonly used dating back to a survey conducted by India in the early 1950s. The new height was agreed on after the two counties sent surveyors from their respective sides of the mountain in 2019 and 2020. The teams used a combination of old-fashioned trigonometry and the latest technology that relies on readings from satellite navigation systems and models of sea level, according to the Washington Post. “We can be confident that this is the most accurate height of Everest that we have ever had,” said Susheel Dangol, Nepal’s chief survey officer, who headed the project. “It was a huge responsibility on our part. It is a moment of great pride for us.”There had been debate over the actual height and concern that Everest might have shrunk after a major earthquake in Nepal in 2015. The exact height is in flux, geologists say, because of shifting tectonic plates that can push a mountain up and earthquakes, which can cause it to sink.Nepal previously measured Everest’s height as 8,848 meters, while China put it at 8,844, because it did not include the snow cap. 1497

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The next Mississippi state flag could have a magnolia instead of the Confederate battle emblem.It’s been nearly two months since legislators acted under pressure to retire the old flag with the rebel symbol that’s widely seen as racist.A flag commission voted Wednesday to recommend a design with the state flower. That design will go on the November ballot.If a majority of voters say yes, it will become the new state flag. If they say no, the design process will start again — and Mississippi will remain a state without a flag for a while longer.By law, the new flag must include the phrase, “In God We Trust” and it cannot include depictions of the Confederate battle flag. 708

Joe Biden is poised to unveil his vision for the modern Democratic Party in the first presidential nominating convention of the coronavirus era, an all-virtual affair that will test the former vice president’s ability to overcome unprecedented logistical challenges in an urgent mission to energize a winning coalition.The Democratic National Convention, which formally begins Monday, is not a convention in the traditional sense. There will be no physical gathering place, no cheering audience, no balloons. The program will consist instead of a series of online video addresses — half of which will be pre-recorded — that play out for two hours each night until Biden formally accepts the Democratic presidential nomination in a mostly empty Delaware ballroom on Thursday.Along the way, Biden’s party will make history by unveiling the nation’s first Black vice presidential nominee, Kamala Harris. The speaking program also features two former presidents, two past presidential nominees, one former first lady, a former Republican governor, a New York ultra-billionaire and various working-class Americans.“Nothing about 2020 has been normal. So I don’t think anyone expected that this convention would be normal either,” said Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, who was under consideration to serve as Biden’s running mate and will speak at the convention. “I hope wherever people are that they’re excited about the moment and the opportunity that lies before us.”The online gathering comes as Democratic officials work to energize supporters behind Biden’s candidacy — not simply against President Donald Trump’s. While Trump is a huge motivator for many Democrats, there is some concern within the party that lower-information voters who lean Democrat and swing voters aren’t locks to cast ballots for Biden this fall, especially as the pandemic creates barriers to voting.At the same time, Trump and his allies are fighting to scare away would-be Biden-Harris backers by describing the Democrats’ 2020 ticket as the most ideologically extreme in American history. While widely considered a political moderate — at least compared with the likes of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren — Biden’s plans to implement a Medicare-like system for those who want it, sweeping environmental protections and higher taxes on the rich would represent a major shift to the left.Still, Biden attracted the support of former Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a Republican, who is scheduled to speak Monday. The Biden campaign hinted that Kasich would not be the only high-profile Republican featured at the convention, but refused to say more.The inclusion of Kasich, who opposed abortion rights and fought labor unions while in office, rankled some progressives. One of the far-left’s champions, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is scheduled to speak for just 60 seconds to help introduce Sanders on the same night as Kasich. Prominent liberal activist Ady Barkan, who previously backed Sanders, is scheduled to deliver remarks the next day.“I’m glad that John and other moderate-type Republicans understand that it is wrong to be supporting Trump,” Sanders told The Associated Press. “But what John says has nothing to do with what I will say. My speech has everything to do with the need to defeat Trump, elect Biden and move the country into a government that works for all of us and not just the 1%.”There appears to be far less tension among the Democrats’ often-competing factions heading into the 2020 convention than many predicted earlier in the year. Just six months ago, political operatives were openly contemplating the prospect of a so-called contested convention in which none of the Democratic candidates had a clear delegate majority going into the convention.That possibility quickly faded in early March. After Biden’s commanding South Carolina primary victory, several competitors suddenly rallied behind him as the pandemic began to explode.Even if there was leftover resentment among wings of the party, the convention’s online forum doesn’t provide any opportunities for public infighting. Key votes on the party platform already will have taken place by mail ballot. The details, which are expected to be approved overwhelmingly, were hammered out in Zoom meetings.Progressives got their say when they extended party rules through 2024 that ban so-called “superdelegates” from voting for the party’s presidential nominee on the first nominating ballot.But without the opportunity for the approximately 4,800 Democratic delegates from across the country to gather on the same convention hall floor, as is tradition, the opportunity for a genuine convention debate over the direction of the party has been eliminated.Larry Cohen, a prominent Rules Committee member and Sanders’ confidant, lamented the loss of an in-person convention, but not because it limits debate.“The key of a convention, really, is the party building that comes with 57 different delegations,” he said, noting the in-person daily meetings that would occur in hotels across a host city. “You shape the party in those breakfast meetings, where you argue over what it means to be a Democrat in Wyoming, what does it mean in Georgia.”With less focus on policy debates, convention officials are highlighting the historic racial diversity on the ticket as the nation experiences a national awakening on race. Harris, who is also of Asian descent, is scheduled to address the nation Wednesday night as the first woman of color on a major party’s presidential ticket.The high-profile Black speakers also on the program include former first lady Michelle Obama, former President Barack Obama, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker and Lance Bottoms, who will introduce a video tribute to the late Georgia Congressman John Lewis on Thursday night ahead of Biden’s speech.“For so many people of color in this country, race is always at the forefront,” Lance Bottoms said. “To be able to have this collective conversation in so many ways is cathartic, especially as we’re going into an election year, because there won’t be any secrets about what people across this country expect from the next administration.”Despite the focus on racial justice, Rev. Al Sharpton, a civil rights activist, predicted next week’s convention would “lack excitement.” He said it likely doesn’t matter, however, especially as Trump and his party prepare for their convention the following week.“As excited as I am about Kamala Harris, the best weapon Democrats have is Donald Trump,” Sharpton said. “He will do himself in. Just don’t get in his way. He will beat himself.”___Barrow reported from Atlanta. AP writer Will Weissert in Wilmington, Delaware, contributed. 6747

Just because you're bankrupt doesn't mean you don't need a hand during the holiday season.Toys R Us, which filed for bankruptcy on Monday night, announced Thursday that it is looking to fill at least 13,000 positions nationwide for the upcoming holiday season.The toy retailer didn't give the total number of seasonal workers it plans to hire, but said it is looking for 3,800 workers in the New York area, 2,400 in greater Los Angeles as well as 2,400 at a warehouse in Groveport, Ohio that is run by DHL. It is also looking for about 1,000 workers each in the Philadelphia, Chicago and Boston markets as well as 900 work at home call center employees.Hiring workers just for the holidays will be harder for retailers this year since unemployment at at 4.4%, near a 16-year low. There are currently a record number of unfilled job openings according to Labor Department statistics. To fill the jobs in the current environment, Toys R Us has sweetened its pay package to offer employees weekend pay rates on peak holiday shopping days, as well as additional employee discounts said spokesman Joseph Contrino.Earlier this week Walmart, the nation's largest private sector employer, said that instead of hiring seasonal employees this year it will give?its existing part-time employees more hours.Toys R Us has nearly 1,000 Toys R Us and Babies R Us stores across the United States and Canada, and filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday. Its employees will continue to be paid and its stores will remain open during the reorganization. The company said it has about 65,000 employees worldwide. 1642
