Several hundred people have gathered in New York's Union Square, where police arrested at least 60 people. There were also rallies in Washington DC, Boston and Minneapolis. A national debate over the use of police force has been going on since last summer, when a black teenager was killed in Ferguson, Missouri. The US Department of Justice has opened an investigation into the death of Gray, who suffered fatal spinal injuries when arrested by police. His funeral took place on Monday and was followed by widespread rioting, arson and looting. Since then a curfew has been in place on the streets of Baltimore from 22:00 to 05:00. Hours before the second night of curfew, on Wednesday evening, a large march made its way through Baltimore's streets.

It is also crucial to understand the nature of any deal that might emerge.

Whatever nuclear work or research Iran may have conducted in the past, it cannot simple "unlearn" any knowledge it may have acquired.

Iran nuclear deal

    20 January - First day of implementation of interim nuclear deal. IAEA begins verifying Iranian compliance; P5+1 and EU suspend sanctions
    18 February - Iran and P5+1 begin talks in Vienna to find a "comprehensive solution"
    19 April - Completion of dilution of Iran's 20% enriched uranium stockpile in hexafluoride form
    19 July - Expiry of six-month interim period for finding comprehensive solution. If not renewed by mutual consent, P5+1 may increase sanctions
    November - Iran and P5+1 aim to "conclude negotiating and commence implementing" the second step of any comprehensive solution

    Iran nuclear deal: Key points

Thus, it is not going to be possible to arrive at a deal where it can be said for certain that Iran will never be able to develop a nuclear weapon.

So for the major UN players, a successful deal will be one where robust answers can be provided to two key questions:

    Can the international community detect with a very high level of certainty any effort by Iran to seek a nuclear weapon in the future?
    And crucially, how far away would Iran then be from having a nuclear device? Bluntly, how long would it take for Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon?

Everything depends upon a sufficient degree of transparency in Iran's nuclear programme and a sufficient degree of warning before Iran "gets the bomb".

Diplomats close to the talks say that there are areas where the two sides are closer than might be expected and others where they are a long way apart.

Their private dollars fund projects that governments won't, and they have an especially key role in urban centers. All this explains why reports of China's air pollution driving out wealthy residents are so troubling. Is China losing its most important residents to smog?the best beauty centre

 

The air in northern Chinese cities has been poor for a while. But after the past few years of "air apocalypses" and record-high levels of PM 2.5, the dangerously small pollutants under 2.5 micrometers in size (1/30 the width of a human hair) that find their way into the bloodstream and have been linked to cancers and respiratory prolems HK. citizens have increased complaints and growing numbers of rich have started making plans to m

 

Yet those suffering the most are the foreign firms that were trying to break into Wall Street’s business. Nomura Holdings has pretty much scuttled its most recent Wall Street experiment (it bought Lehman Brothers Holding Inc.’s European and Asian banking operations) and firms such as Societe Generale Credit Suisse Group and Royal Bank of Scotland Group are all cutting Wall Street bodies.

 

In November, Bloomberg News estimated that more than 200, 000 people who work in finance had already lost or would lose their jobs this year.

 

The vast sums overpaid to bankers and traders will inevitably continue to fall as well — as many of them are finding out this bonus week. The decline in Wall Street’s compensation will mean less tax revenue for New York City and New York State and fewer government services for the rest of us (absent higher taxes).

 

The most reliable leading indicator of Wall Street’s future prospects is the way recent graduates of Harvard, Princeton and Yale — supposedly our best and brightest — choose to spend their time after graduating. For years, hordes of graduates from those schools beat a fast path to Wall Street. Now the road is far more difficult to travel. There is the prospect of incurring the wrath and scorn of fellow students who make up the various Occupy Wall Street movements — a fact not likely to deter many — and then there are dimmer prospects for a job on Wall Street generally, what with the slowdown in business.

Dr Simon Archer and his team at Surrey University were particularly interested in looking at the genes that were switched on or off in our volunteers by changes in the amount that we had made them sleep.

 

"We found that overall there were around 500 genes that were affected," Archer explained. "Some which were going up, and some which were going down."
