Advocates await Biden’s course change on arms sales 6 hours ago U.S. President Joe Biden declared in March that the U.S. government would end its support for “offensive operations in the war in Yemen, including relevant arms sales.” (Alex Wong/Getty Images) WASHINGTON ― President Joe Biden’s early months “suggest a change of course” regarding to whom the U.S. decides to sell weapons, according to a new report from the Center for International Policy think tank. After years of former President Donald Trump’s markedly transactional and jobs-centric approach to arms sales, the report sees the potential for “a change that could elevate human rights, observation of international humanitarian law (IHL), and longterm strategic concerns over narrow economic considerations.”

Smuggler s Phillip Youmans directs docu-style film for Apple
To conclude Black History Month in the US, Smuggler filmmaker Phillip Youmans has directed Hometown , the latest in the Shot on iPhone series.
Apple commissioned 33 Black photographers, covering 17 major cities across the US, to document their hometowns - all shot on the iPhone 12 devices. The campaign not only highlights their talent, but shines a light on their experiences and their local neighbourhoods.
During Black History Month, the Hometown photography was posted to Apple s Instagram handle, featuring a different photographer each day of the month - the longest ‘takeover’ of any campaign on the handle.
Apple has supplemented its Hometown initiative for Black History Month with a Shot on iPhone film, one that follows some of the photographers as they produce images of their locales.
