      Trump won’t say if he’ll ease sanctions on Russia, but wants a ‘great relationship’

      President Trump told reporters on Friday that he wants a “great relationship” with Russia, but declined to say whether he has decided to ease U.S. sanctions imposed on Russia to punish Moscow for the invasion of Ukraine. Trump spoke at a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Theresa May, who made clear that her country opposes loosening the economic vise on Vladimir Putin’s government.

      Georgia city police chief, mayor apologize for 1940 lynching

      In an emotional ceremony, the mayor and the police chief of a west Georgia city have apologized for the lynching of a black man more than 75 years ago. LaGrange Police Chief Lou Dekmar said the killing of Austin Callaway, who was taken from the city jail by a band of armed white men in 1940, should never have happened. Callaway was 18 when he was led from his basement cell in the LaGrange City Hall, then shot and left to die along a road on Sept. 7, 1940.

      Indian soldiers rescued hours after snow cave-in in Kashmir

      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.

      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.

      Number of suspects in Petrobras scandal to double: Brazil

      The number of suspects in the Petrobras corruption scandal will likely double following confessions of former executives at Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht, the lead prosecutor in the case told AFP. "We expect the case load to double in volume, and the collaboration of Odebrecht and many of its executives will provide evidence that will lead to new investigations throughout Brazil," federal prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol said Thursday. The probe that Dallagnol is leading, dubbed Operation Carwash, has netted scores of politicians and executives and put pressure on President Michel Temer as he tries to drag Latin America's biggest economy out of recession.

      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.

      Malala Yousafzai, the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, on Friday condemned President Trump’s executive order establishing new vetting measures for immigrants. “I am heartbroken that today President Trump is closing the door on children, mothers and fathers fleeing violence and war,” Yousafzai said. 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.

      Students: Chancellor failed minorities on pro-white agitator

      The University of Wisconsin-Madison chancellor's response to a student trying to set up a pro-white group on campus further alienates minorities as they struggle for a better campus experience, student leaders said Friday. The student's effort to set up a campus chapter of the American Freedom Party — whose platform includes "prioritizing white supremacy values," according to its Facebook page — has raised questions about how the university should respond and comes as the white nationalist movement as a whole has been emboldened by Donald Trump's presidency. Student government representatives urged Chancellor Rebecca Blank in a letter to denounce the AFP as racist.

      The White House issued a statement Friday commemorating International Holocaust Remembrance Day. In 2005, the United Nations General Assembly voted to observe Jan. 27 as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. In 2016, President Barack Obama's statement mentioned "the six million Jews and million of others murdered by the Nazi regime" in the first sentence of his statement.

      Top Islamist militant wounded in Philippines: minister

      A top leader of an Islamic militant group who is on the United States' list of "Most Wanted Terrorists" has been wounded in military airstrikes, the Philippine defence minister said Saturday. Isnilon Hapilon was indicted in Washington for his involvement in the 2001 kidnapping of three Americans in the Philippines, and has a $5-million bounty on his head from the US government. The 50-year-old militant is a senior leader of the Abu Sayyaf, a notorious kidnap-for-ransom gang based in the southern Philippines, and security analysts say the Islamic State (IS) group has recognised him as its leader in Southeast Asia.

      Texas executes man convicted of killing two in 2002 robbery

      By Jon Herskovitz AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - A Texas inmate was executed on Thursday for killing two sandwich shop employees during a robbery in 2002 after the Supreme Court denied appeals that argued he was not the trigger man and his case was tainted by prosecutorial misconduct. Terry Edwards, 43, died of lethal injection at 10:17 p.m. at the state's death chamber in Huntsville, said Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman Jason Clark in a statement. The execution was put on hold for about four hours as the Supreme Court considered several motions citing what lawyers for Edwards said were faults in previous legal proceedings.

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.

      Made In America iPhones To Cost More

      President Donald Trump is trying to get smartphone companies to manufacture in the U.S. and Apple seems to have his special attention in this regard. The company is a major global smartphone player and has a large share of the U.S. cell phone market. Trump says he spoke to Apple CEO Tim Cook, who has his “eyes open” to manufacturing in the U.S. For its part, Apple has not issued any confirmation on plans to manufacture iPhones in the country, but if the company were to do so, what would be the cost of the "Made in America" label?

      Aston Martin's Final Vanquish Is This Impossibly Gorgeous 580-HP Drop Top

      Aston Martin is in the midst of a revision to its entire lineup, spearheaded by the all-new DB11. Like its hardtop sibling, the Vanquish S Volante is powered by Aston's old 5.9-liter, naturally aspirated V12 making 580 horsepower, mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox sending power to the rear wheels. Aston hasn't announced performance specifications for the Vanquish S Volante yet, but it'll probably be nearly identical to the coupe's 3.5-second 0-60 sprint and 201-mph top speed.

      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.
