Lionel Messi was cleared after a review by ​Major League Soccer determined that ‌he did not violate any policy ​when he followed ⁠the match officials through a doorway following Inter Miami’s season-opening 0-3 defeat at LAFC, a league spokesperson said on Sunday, Reuters reported.

In the video, Inter Miami’s Luis ​Suarez is seen attempting to restrain Messi by the ⁠arm but the Argentine still managed to walk through the doorway in the bowels of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum before re-emerging moments later, according to Reuters.

The Election Commission (EC) has urged the people's representatives of the local level not to be involved in the election publicity campaigns. 

In order to keep the free, fair, impartial, transparent, fearless and economized environment for the  March 5 House of Representatives (HoR) elections, the EC has made the plea to the locally-elected representatives. 

Citing reference to the implementation of the Election Code of Conduct, 2082 BS, the EC has reminded the responsibility of the concerned stakeholders to strictly comply with the code. 

According to the EC, it has been monitoring whether or not the political parties, candidates and concerned are fully complying with the election code of conduct. 

The commission has expressed serious concern over complaints and grievances received that some local representatives participated in the promotion of political parties and candidates contrary to the election code. 

According to the code related provisions, local executive office-bearers may participate in election campaigns of their respective political parties in local levels other than the one they were elected, yet there is a clear provision that they cannot use government resources and facilities.

The EC has cautioned the local people's representatives not to engage in poll publicity campaigns in a way to contravene the existing code.

Iran has indicated it is prepared to make concessions on its nuclear programme in talks with the U.S. in return for the lifting of sanctions and recognition of its right to enrich uranium, as it seeks to avert a U.S. attack, Reuters reported. 

Both sides remain sharply divided -- even over the scope and sequencing of relief from crippling U.S. sanctions -- following two rounds of talks, a senior Iranian official told Reuters.

However, Reuters is reporting for the first time that Iran is offering fresh concessions since their talks ended last week, when the sides appeared far apart and heading closer to military conflict. Analysts say the move suggests Tehran is trying to keep diplomacy alive and stave off a major U.S. strike, according to Reuters.
