      Mike Pence becomes first VP to speak at March for Life rally: ‘Life is winning’

      Vice President Mike Pence declared the Trump administration’s commitment to the antiabortion movement at the March for Life rally in Washington, D.C. On Friday, Pence became the first vice president to address the annual abortion protest since its inception in 1974. It is held every year on the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s 1973 decision to legalize abortion nationwide in Roe v. Wade.

      Starting this summer, these owners can start bringing in their eligible vehicles for the upgrade, which is apparently simple enough: It's a device that plugs into the car's OBD II underneath the steering column. Ford spent more than two years of doing R&D, working with Verizon Telematics and Delphi Automotive, to confirm this upgrade will work with eligible Fords and Lincolns.

      Gunman kills lawyer for Myanmar's ruling party at airport

      A gunman killed a legal adviser for Myanmar's ruling National League for Democracy on Sunday, shooting the lawyer in the head at close range as he walked out of the Yangon airport, the government said. The gunman was arrested after he killed Ko Ni, a prominent member of Myanmar's Muslim minority, and wounded a taxi driver who tried to stop him from fleeing, the Ministry of Information said in a video posted on state-run MRTV. Ko Ni was the Supreme Court advocate for the NLD and a longstanding legal adviser to the country's leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

Stop doing it," Shapira told Reuters Television. It is often used by visitors for picnics, yoga and other activities that Shapira said he found troubling.

      Gambia president plans massive overhaul, but keeps secret police

      Gambian President Adama Barrow said Saturday that every aspect of his tiny west African state would need an overhaul after ex-leader Yahya Jammeh's 22-year rule, but that its dreaded secret police would remain. Barrow faces an uphill task after taking over from Jammeh, who left behind a dysfunctional economy and allegedly emptied state coffers ahead of his departure. Rights group blame the notorious National Intelligence Agency (NIA) under his longtime control for forced disappearances and torture.

Yousafzai, 19, issued the statement at about the same time that Trump announced his latest executive orders, including one that reportedly will suspend the U.S. refugee program for 120 days.

      Tensions Simmer Below Surface As Trump, Republicans Map Strategy

      When President Donald Trump was elected last November, Republican lawmakers enthusiastically joined his call to rewrite the tax code and dismantle Obamacare in the first 100 days of his presidency. Trump had a different idea when he spoke to lawmakers in Philadelphia, telling them: Enough talk. Before the cameras, Trump and Republicans sought to convey an image of a happy, unified family, playing down differences over tax policy, whether to reinstate torture interrogation techniques and investigating 2016 election fraud.

      Flames from more than 100 raging wildfires in Chile continued spreading from the mountains to the Pacific coast, destroying forests, livestock and entire towns in a destructive path that is now dangerously close to the city of Concepcion. President Michelle Bachelet has called the wildfires the worst forest disaster in Chile's history.

      Five Indian soldiers were rescued several hours after being trapped in snow that caved in on them as they patrolled Saturday along the highly militarized Line of Control that divides Kashmir between India and Pakistan. Rescuers dug for the soldiers despite continuous snowfall and rescued all of them, Indian army spokesman Col. Rajesh Kalia said. The soldiers were on a routine patrol when the track they were on caved in around them in the Machil sector of the Himalayan region under India's control.

      Russians rally against cathedral handover

      Over a thousand people rallied in Russia's Saint-Petersburg Saturday to protest the decision by authorities to hand over the city's famous St. Isaac's cathedral to the Orthodox Church. The crowd of about 1,500 was the biggest showing yet to oppose giving the cathedral, a popular tourist attraction owned by the city, to the Church, saying it would rob the municipality of needed revenue. The imposing 19th-century St Isaac's Cathedral on the main street Nevsky Prospekt functions as a museum, gallery and concert hall, and is also used for religious services.

      Chicago's chief of police, Eddie Johnson, was recovering on Friday afternoon after he appeared nearly to faint at a news conference, according to a spokesman for the Chicago Police Department. Chicago Police Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said on Twitter that Johnson, 56, has "a longstanding kidney issue" but said Friday's incident was unrelated to that. The Chicago Sun-Times, citing unnamed sources, reported that Johnson needs a kidney transplant.

      Prosecutors will not pursue Bridgegate charges against New Jersey governor

      The Office of the Bergen County Prosecutor said in a letter to a local judge it did not have sufficient evidence to prove allegations that Christie knew about a plot to close lanes at the George Washington Bridge in 2013 in order to punish a local mayor for failing to endorse Christie's re-election bid. Bill Brennan, a retired firefighter and activist who announced he would run for governor this year, filed the citizen complaint against Christie last September. Two former Christie allies were convicted last year of orchestrating the lane closure plot, and U.S. prosecutors introduced evidence at trial suggesting the governor was at least aware of the scheme.

      Apple just patented a vape

      The application, which was discovered by Digital Trends, is titled simply “Sublimator/Vaporizer” and describes a device that allows for the vaporization of an unidentified substance via a dual-chamber system. The device described in the patent is cylindrical in shape, including a thermal jacket and a body unit as well as a lid. At first glance it might sound like a component of a modern day recreational vaporizer, either for nicotine or another substance such as marijuana, but the patent’s description of the heating element actually compressing onto the substance being vaporized is quite a bit different than anything on the market.

      Former neighbor recalls suspected killer as grieving widower

      Bob Evans sat at a picnic table outside friend Katherine Decker's motorhome in 1986, sobbing that his wife had died when his then-5-year-old daughter, Lisa, was just a baby. Three decades later, authorities say only one part of his story was true: The girl's mother was dead. On Thursday, authorities linked him to five earlier killings — the mother of the girl he called Lisa, and a woman and three children whose bodies were found in barrels in New Hampshire.

Jerry Brown is emerging as uniquely suited to playing a key role for blue states inclined toward political rebellion. Since the tea party wave of 2010, the picture has been reversed: Red states barraging the Obama administration with lawsuit after lawsuit. The question now is whether blue states will respond in kind.

      Costs Pile Up For Trump Tax On Mexican Imports

      As part of his plan to fund his promised “big, beautiful wall” on the southern U.S. border—which Mexico, it turns out, is not going to pay for—President Donald Trump may effectively raise the price of numerous products that come from America’s third largest goods trading partner. Namely, the prices of cars, trucks, buses, vehicle parts, televisions, computers, telecommunications equipment and fruits and vegetables could all rise noticeably, as a result of not only proposed tariffs on Mexican goods as a means of paying for said wall, but Trump’s stated intentions to eliminate the North American Free Trade Agreement, more commonly known as NAFTA. After Trump signed an executive order Wednesday kicking off the “immediate construction of a physical wall on the southern border,” the two top congressional leaders, Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin), said at a Thursday press conference that they expected the cost to be in the range of $12 billion to $15 billion.

      Port-au-Prince (AFP) - An agonizing electoral marathon that began in Haiti in 2015 with a presidential vote that was later annulled comes to a close with local elections on Sunday. This means that all of the elective offices in the notoriously unstable Caribbean country will finally be filled. There will be partial legislative elections -- one seat in the lower chamber of congress and eight senators -- and nationwide local elections.

      Lawsuit: Police used Taser 7 times on autistic man

      The parents of an autistic man allege in a lawsuit that police in northwest Missouri punched him and used a Taser on him seven times. The parents of Christopher Kramer, who was an 18-year-old high school special education student when the incident occurred, filed a lawsuit Thursday against three Maryville officers, a Nodaway County deputy and a Highway Patrol trooper. The lawsuit stems from an incident on May 6 when a Missouri Highway Patrol trooper called police after seeing Kramer in his front yard.
