NEW YORK, July 5 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump signed the historic tax and spending bill, also known as the "one, big, beautiful bill," on Friday afternoon.

The bill was signed at the White House the day after it passed the House. Trump set a July 4 deadline to pass the bill, in order to make the signing part of the Independence Day festivities that also included a B-2 bomber flyby.

The law reflects Trump's policy of cutting taxes and increasing spending on military needs and border security.

Speaking before the signing ceremony, Trump thanked Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson for their work in holding a conference to pass the bill. “These two are a team like no other,” he said.

House members are divided on the bill, which would slash spending on health care and food programs for the poor and increase spending on the military and border security while cutting taxes on a broad range of incomes. The bill is projected to add $3.3 trillion to the already large national debt.

The bill passed the House by a narrow margin of 218 to 214, with all Democrats and two Republicans, Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, voting against it.

After the House passed the bill, White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt called it "the embodiment of everything the president fought for and the American people voted for," noting that it was "a triumphant day for the American people."

The White House, in a press release Thursday, called the bill's passage the president's biggest legislative victory, adding that "time and time again, President Trump and Republicans have fought and won for the American people." -0-

PARIS, July 5 (Xinhua) — War is not a solution to the Iranian nuclear issue, and preemptive strikes obviously have no legitimacy, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said on Friday, stressing that force will not bring true peace.

He made the statement here at a joint press conference with his French counterpart Jean-Noël Barrot.

Asked about the situation in the Middle East, Wang Yi said the recent military conflict between Israel and Iran should not be repeated. He stressed that the abuse of military force will only lead to new conflicts and the accumulation of more hatred. The United States has set a bad precedent by openly attacking the nuclear facilities of a sovereign state, the Chinese diplomat added.

He warned that if such actions lead to a nuclear catastrophe, the entire world would suffer the consequences. –0–

Construction of a transport interchange at the intersection of the third launch complex of the Central Ring Road and Dmitrovskoe Highway

In the Moscow Region, the implementation of the infrastructure project for the construction of a transport interchange at the intersection of the third launch complex of the Central Ring Road and Dmitrovskoye Highway continues. At present, the construction of layers of road pavement has begun at the site, and the excavation work here has been completed by 50% of the planned volume. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"The construction of new roads is inextricably linked with the modernization of the existing network, including the creation of modern interchanges. This ensures smooth integration of traffic flows, reduces the load on key nodes, minimizes congestion and improves traffic safety. An integrated approach to the development of road infrastructure allows us to avoid imbalances in the transport system and use each new facility as efficiently as possible. In the Moscow Region, we are implementing a project to build a transport interchange at the intersection of the Central Ring Road with Dmitrovskoye Highway. Currently, specialists are carrying out excavation work, 50% of which has already been completed. In parallel, the site has begun to install structural layers of the asphalt concrete road surface. In addition, the foundations and supports of all three future overpasses have been built and their superstructures have been partially installed," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that transition plates and expansion joints are currently being installed on artificial structures.

A complex of works is expected ahead, including the installation of asphalt concrete pavement layers, drainage structures and strengthening works. In addition, it is necessary to install metal span structures over the current section of the Central Ring Road with intensive traffic. A large volume of work on the installation of road safety elements is also envisaged.

According to the Chairman of the Board of the state company Avtodor, Vyacheslav Petushenko, the project also includes the construction of four exits and the reconstruction of the A-107 Moscow Small Ring road.

"As part of the reconstruction, a set of works will be carried out to change the longitudinal profile and geometric parameters of the road. This will improve its transport and operational characteristics. It is planned to replace all culverts to protect the roadway from water, preserve natural watercourses, and prevent flooding. It is also planned to install outdoor electric lighting lines for comfortable travel at night and in poor visibility. To improve road safety, a metal barrier fence will be installed. The total length of the reconstructed section is about 2.3 km. In general, the new interchange will improve the accessibility of adjacent areas, redistribute traffic flows from the A-107 "MMK" highway to the Central Ring Road and significantly improve the conditions for transit traffic bypassing Moscow," said Vyacheslav Petushenko.

About 230 people and 85 units of road construction equipment are involved in the construction of the interchange. The launch of vehicle traffic on the new facility is planned for 2026.

In addition, at the second stage of the concept implementation, it is planned to continue updating the material and technical base of additional education organizations, actively involve young specialists in the educational process, and create conditions for regular children's excursions on historical, cultural, scientific, educational, and patriotic topics.

The service of registration for additional education programs via the unified portal of state services will also be modernized. Its functionality will be supplemented by the ability to subscribe to notifications about the availability of registration for additional programs.

A special mobile application – "Gosuslugi Avto", "OSAGO Assistant" or the insurer's own application with the ability to issue an electronic Europrotocol – allows you to fill out a notification of an accident without calling the traffic police to the scene of the accident, as well as take photographs of the damage.

The law provides for two options for registering an accident — with or without photo recording. In the case of photo recording without disagreement on the circumstances of the accident, the maximum limit of compensation under OSAGO is 400 thousand rubles, if photo recording is performed and there is disagreement — 200 thousand rubles, and when there is no photo recording and no disagreement — 100 thousand rubles (Article 11.1 of the Law on OSAGO). It is worth considering that if there is disagreement between drivers on the circumstances of the accident or the nature of the damage to vehicles, photo recording is mandatory for registering an accident without traffic police officers, without it, the insurance payment is not guaranteed. Make sure that the photos have been successfully uploaded through the application — wait for a confirmation notification.

Mobile applications are available for download in application stores (App Store, Google Play), as well as onPublic servicesor websites of insurance companies.
