Reporter russia pulled back from their initial agreement from the u. S. It would have ended the Syrian Regime air attacks on civilians and enabled aid to flow into besieged starving cities like aleppo.

Miami dolphins running back, spoke with kaepernick and shares his frustration. Just because we think out of the same water fountains. People think it is over. Its not. I feel it on a daytoday basis.
