BERGAMO, Italy (Reuters) -AC Milan continued their impressive start to the Serie A season on Sunday, surviving a late Atalanta comeback to earn a 3-2 victory in Bergamo. Milan raced into an early lead, with captain Davide Calabria poking home the ball at the second attempt after just 28 seconds. Milan did not let up as Rafael Leao seemingly put the victory beyond all doubt with a third goal with 12 minutes to go. Duvan Zapata got Atalanta back into the contest from the penalty spot with four minutes left, before Mario Pasalic ensured a nervy finish for Milan in stoppage time with a second goal for the hosts but it proved too little, too late. A sixth victory from seven league games this season for second-placed Milan helped them to close the gap with leaders Napoli to two points, while Atalanta, who finished third behind Milan last term, are eighth after their first defeat in six matches in all competitions.

The spending package being debate in Congress seeks to push efforts to fight climate change into overdrive, however. He said Democrats have moved so far to the left that “it looks anti-American.”“It’s almost blatantly in the citizens’ face,” Lozano said. “I think it’s about focusing on the opportunities that we have,” Garza said of national Democrats’ environmental push.

The draft will be discussed at the House of Representative, whose second session began Saturday. It was set to counter the elusiveness of some terrorists, who rent housing units to hide from security services, and move out from one place to another regularly to avoid being tracked. Dozens of terrorists, especially from 2013 to 2017, were caught in rented apartments in new urban communities that have an abundance of available housing units, such as in 6 October City and the Fifth Settlement. Other terrorists who rented apartments in rural areas were only reported to the police for being “suspicious outsiders.”The draft stipulates penalties of fees and jail time for failing to notify the police of new tenants.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Egypt’s national carrier Sunday made its first official direct flight to Israel since the two countries signed an historic 1979 peace treaty as an EgyptAir jet landed at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport.

The national carrier will now run three weekly flights between Cairo and Tel Aviv with the EgyptAir markings. Sunday’s flight came two weeks after Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett made the first public visit to Egypt by an Israeli leader in over a decade. In August, Israel removed a longstanding advisory for its citizens about travel to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, a move seen as a gesture to its strategic partner.
