Huawei goes on UK media blitz as government reviews its 5G role
Huawei has bought full-page adverts in several British newspapers in an effort to push back on fears over its role in the country's deployment of 5G.

The ad appeared in most of Britain's national newspapers, including The Guardian, Daily Telegraph, Times, Mirror, Sun and Daily Mail. It has also been featured in regional newspapers.

Joe Biden ratcheted up his Facebook ad spending last week while President Donald Trump came under scrutiny for his response to a wave of protests across the country.
Starting last week, Biden spent more than $4.9 million on Facebook ads.

Trump campaign seizes on calls for Dems to support 'defund the police' movement
The Trump re-elect effort held a call with reporters on Monday to criticize the "left's radical proposals to defund the police, " specifically pressuring apparent Democratic nominee Joe Biden to speak out in opposition to the idea.

On the call, the Trump campaign slammed members of the so-called "Squad," including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar, for being open to defunding and disbanding police.
"It is consuming the entire Democrat party as the most extreme elements have the loudest voices and demand acquiescence," communications director Tim Murtaugh said, also name-checking notable Democrats such as Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Rep. Val Demings — who is currently being vetted as a possible running mate for Biden.
