Belgium seized an oil tanker today believed to be carrying oil in violation of Western sanctions on Russia over its war in Ukraine.

The proposal could impose full time work requirements and a time limit of just two years.

The proposed rule is not a mandate. It would allow local housing authorities and private landlords to impose the requirements if they choose. Elderly and disabled tenants would be exempt. It's part of a push by HUD Secretary Scott Turner to promote what he calls self sufficiency. Supporters also say there are such long waiting lists for rental aid, it's more fair to spread it around. Critics of the proposed rule say most people who can work already do. They just don't make enough to pay market rate rents. A few places have experimented with time limits but dropped them because as the cutoffs approached, they worried they'd be pushing people into homelessness. Jennifer Ludden, NPR News, Washington.
