The 76ers upgraded Embiid to questionable on the injury report on Sunday afternoon and the two-time NBA scoring champion was cleared to play after his pregame workout.

The lawmakers said they did not know whether last week's Washington Post report was true, and some Republicans were skeptical, but they said attacking survivors of an initial missile strike poses serious legal concerns.

The move was described by observers as one of the most coordinated and direct rebukes of China seen at the UN in recent years. These findings align with longstanding allegations of ethnic cleansing and cultural erasure in Xinjiang and Tibet. Particularly alarming, the statement pointed out, were China's practices of separating children from their families through state-controlled boarding schools, torturing detainees, and demolishing sacred and cultural heritage sites. Such acts, the countries stated, are…...
