MOSCOW — The Kremlin says Russian President Vladimir Putin won’t congratulate President-elect Joe Biden until legal challenges to the U.S. election are resolved and the result is official.Putin is one of a handful of world leaders who have not commented on Biden’s victory, which was called by major news organizations on Saturday.However, President Donald Trump’s team has promised legal action in the coming days and refused to concede his loss. He has alleged large-scale voter fraud, so far without proof.When Trump won in 2016, Putin was prompt in offering congratulations, but his spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters Monday that this year’s election is different.The leaders of China, Mexico, Brazil and Turkey also are holdouts in offering congratulations.China says it has taken note of Biden's declaration of victory in the election but is holding off on sending any message of congratulations.A foreign ministry spokesperson says the result of the election would be determined under U.S. laws and procedures and that China would follow international practices in extending its sentiments.China has had a fractious relationship with Trump, characterized by growing friction over trade, technology and competition for influence in Asia and the world.Analysts say Biden will likely return ties to a less contentious state, although Beijing has stuck throughout the election to a position of not commenting directly on what it says is an internal American political issue. 1489

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The contest for the year's best country songs happens Wednesday night at the 2018 Country Music Association Awards.The two categories — song of the year and single of the year — look similar with three songs nominated in both, but the writers behind the hits say these awards are hard to predict.Nominees include a monster pop song that went country, country songs that went pop, a message song for the #MeToo era and, of course, drinking songs.Song of the year is awarded to songwriters, while single of the year goes to the artist, producer and mixing engineer.The CMA Awards will air live from Nashville Wednesday at 8 p.m. on ABC10. Here's a look at the single and song of the year nominees.______"Drowns the Whiskey" by Jason Aldean featuring Miranda Lambert, nominated for single and song of the year:This song was originally pitched for country singer Tyler Farr, explains Josh Thompson, who co-wrote the song with Brandon Kinney and Jeff Middleton. When it didn't make Farr's album, Aldean grabbed it and turned it into a No. 1 hit.The three writers were on the road in 2013 when they wrote it, staying up until 4:30 in the morning while drinking whiskey to finish it, Thompson said."I am huge believer in the idea that you've got to get in the character of your song," he said.Thompson said the twist on a whiskey song and the opening line make it unique, but the production and turning it into a duet made the song sound like a new classic."It feels modern and timeless at the same time and the smoky Miranda notes in there just send it through the roof," he said.______"Broken Halos" by Chris Stapleton, nominated for single and song of the year:Mike Henderson has written with Stapleton for years, long before they were both in the bluegrass band The Steeldrivers and way before Stapleton broke out with his 2015 solo debut, "Traveller.""I was reading Keith Richards' biography and he had a chapter called 'Broken Halos,' and as soon I saw it, I was like, 'Whoa, song title," Henderson said.The track won the best country song Grammy earlier this year, making it a strong contender in both CMA categories, and the emotional way Stapleton sings the song makes it a fan favorite."We've had a lot of folks say that the song had a really special meaning for them — people that have lost a loved one, who had been through some personal tragedy," Henderson said. "It does seem to touch people, which as a songwriter, you're trying to do."______"Tequila" by Dan + Shay, nominated for single and song of the year:Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney genuinely love tequila. They drink it on tour and at home, but the duo wasn't really looking for party song about getting drunk."So we flipped that," said Smyers. "Tequila was basically the trigger that took you back to a certain place, so it's a nostalgic heartbreak song, which is kind of Dan + Shay's wheelhouse."The song, co-written with Nicolle Galyon and Jordan Reynolds, crossed from country to pop radio, even peaking at No. 21 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. Smyers said he's sees the crossover success as an advantage in building fans among people who don't traditionally listen to country music."This could be their gateway into country," Smyers said. "They hear that song and say, 'I love that,' and flip over to the country station."______"Meant to Be" by Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line, nominated for single of the year:It's the song that has dominated country music for all of 2018. The inescapable, record-breaking monster hit has surpassed 1 billion streams, achieved four-times platinum status and reached No. 2 on the Hot 100 chart.Songwriter David Garcia wrote the song in Los Angeles with Rexha, FGL's Tyler Hubbard and songwriter Josh Miller and it was originally released on Rexha's 2017 EP, "All Your Fault: Pt. 2.""There is a little more merging of L.A. and Nashville now more than ever," Garcia said.Garcia said while he'd love to see the song win, he's not putting any bets down. He attributes the song's success in part to Rexha's huge streaming popularity.But it's also a polarizing contender with many arguing it's not a true country song and its crossover success could turn off some more traditionally-minded CMA voters.Garcia said he doesn't concern himself with those critics."I believe we're in an amazing place where the fans and the listeners decide what their favorite songs are," he said. "I think the song is undeniable in what it is."______"Body Like a Back Road" by Sam Hunt, nominated for song of the year, and "Drinkin' Problem" by Midland, nominated for single of the year:Both songs were created in part by the songwriting-producing power duo Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne, but they are on different spectrums of the genre.Sam Hunt's 2017 hit crossed to pop and became a five-times platinum success with a catchy, finger-snapping rhythm. But even McAnally admits to being a bit surprised about seeing it pop up on the nominee list again after it lost last year in the same category ("Better Man," written by Taylor Swift for Little Big Town, won the prize).Even though it was not released in the eligibility period, Hunt's song made the second ballot because it remained a Top 5 country single. The fact that "Body Like a Back Road" hasn't won any CMA Awards, despite being nominated three times, suggests that pop crossovers might not be the key factor to winning."There's a five-way race for this one," McAnally said of the song of the year category. "There's not a 'Girl Crush' that feels like a steamroller. I just don't know who could win."Meanwhile, Midland broke out as a neo-traditionalist band with "Drinkin' Problem," a George Strait-style throwback."I would love to see it win single of the year because of its traditional sound," McAnally said. "(Single of the year) is about commercial impact, but I've always thought about it as the sound of the record."______"Drunk Girl" by Chris Janson, nominated for song of the year:Most country singers steer away from politically charged topics, but during the #MeToo movement, Janson had a pointed message for men. "Take the drunk girl home," he sings, and walk away.Janson said he wrote the song with Tom Douglas and Scooter Carusoe long before #MeToo spread virally last year, but with Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings this year, the song was relevant enough to gain a nomination."I am not really a soapbox guy," Janson said. "I just write what I write and sing what I sing. I do believe in the message very powerfully and I am glad that it is connecting."CMA voters do like message songs: Tim McGraw's "Humble and Kind" and Kacey Musgraves' "Follow Your Arrow" both won because they had something important to say. But the bluntness of the song has given some critics pause, most notably when a New Yorker column called it a "#MeToo misfire."But Janson says he's not trying to appeal to everyone."I've never really tried to sell this song to anybody or shove it down anybody's throat," he said. 6996

NATIONAL CITY, Calif. (KGTV) -- Families in one South Bay city got one step closer to relief from skyrocketing rent Thursday as a group turned in signatures supporting a measure that could make its way to the November ballot. The National City Families for Fair Rent coalition has collected 3,500 signatures from registered voters in favor of implementing a program to stabilize rent.The initiative is called the National City Rent Control and Community Stabilization Ordinance.In order to get the measure on the November ballot, the coalition needs the signatures of 2,300 registered National City voters.Researchers say the measure is important because National City is one of the last safe havens for families struggling to pay rent. "It is one of the last places, sort of the last refuge for families struggling to get by have been able to afford to rent," said Dr. Peter Brownell,Research Director at Center on Policy Initiatives.The city council can now take one of three actions. Enact it without sending it to the ballot, send it to the ballot or request a report from city staff.If a report is requested, the council will have to reconvene and take one of the first two options within 30 days. 1220

MLB and the league’s player union held negotiations this week, days after a contentious series of statements between the league and union indicated the 2020 season is in peril.The league and players are working on a plan to begin the 2020 season after it was postponed by the spread of the coronavirus. With most professional sports leagues coming back this summer, MLB has yet to formalize a plan for resumption.MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said that a new set of proposals have been forwarded to the players.The tone from Manfred on Wednesday differed from earlier in the week.“We left that meeting with a jointly developed framework that we agreed could form the basis of an agreement and subject to conversations with our respective constituents,” Manfred said. “I summarized that framework numerous times in the meeting and sent Tony a written summary today. Consistent with our conversations yesterday, I am encouraging the Clubs to move forward and I trust Tony is doing the same.”Earlier on Wednesday, reports surfaced that the league and players have finalized a deal, but those reports appeared to be premature as the MLBPA said that no agreement has been made.At odds is the number of games to be played, and whether players will be paid a full prorated amount for those games. MLB said that based on an agreement between the leagues and players days after the league suspended Spring Training, players would only be paid a full prorated salary if games were held in front of fans. As of now, the likelihood of MLB games being played in front of fans this season appears to be low.The players union has complained that the league is attempting to play the fewest number of games possible.“The commissioner has repeatedly threatened to schedule a dramatically shortened season unless players agree to hundreds of millions in further concessions,” the MLBPA said on June 13. “Our response has been consistent that such concessions are unwarranted, would be fundamentally unfair to players, and that our sport deserves the fullest 2020 season possible.” 2069

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Nashville District Attorney's Office will no longer prosecute those who have been charged for possessing less than half an ounce of marijuana."Marijuana charges do little to promote public health, and even less to promote public safety," District Attorney Glenn Funk said Wednesday in an announcement on the policy change. "Demographic statistics indicate that these charges impact minorities in a disproportionate manner. This policy will eliminate this area of disproportionately in the justice system."View the arrests for marijuana categorized by race here.The DA's office said eliminating minor marijuana charges will lower costs for jail housing, courts and clerk's offices. The resources that would have been used to prosecute those charges will be allocated to supporting victims and prosecuting violent crime.Nashville Mayor John Cooper said in a statement that he supports the change in policy."I support the DA's decision to stop prosecuting minor marijuana offenses in Davidson County. We need to continue working to ensure that people have access to drug treatment and that we are doing everything we can to keep nonviolent young people out of the criminal justice system," Cooper said.Last fall, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation sent a memo to law enforcement across the state that said testing in marijuana cases would "only be performed on felony amounts of plant material and at the District Attorney's request if needed for trial."While the memo did not decriminalize marijuana, defense attorneys said they would be less likely to pursue prosecution for those caught with small amounts of marijuana.The Nashville People's Budget Coalition — a coalition of civil rights groups in the ciry — reacted to Wednesday's policy update, saying Funk's decision could be a beginning of meaningful change, but they want to see more."While the district attorney is attempting to show good effort, we also want to go further," Erica Perry said. "Can you decriminalize and stop prosecuting sex workers? Can you stop prosecuting any amount of drugs? That is important."Funk's decision prompted State Rep. John Stevens, R-Huntingdon, to call for the DA's resignation."A blanket policy to not enforce the law is dereliction of duty and a subversive act akin to treason," Stevens said in a statement, in part. "The determination that marijuana possession is a 'minor; offense is a policy judgment out of the power and authority of the elected District Attorney. Either do your job or resign."This story was originally published by Caroline Sutton on WTVF in Nashville. 2603
