Sep 09, 2020 11:02 AM Eds: UPDATES: This story has been updated with details about nomination procedure. COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) - An anti-immigrant Norwegian lawmaker said Wednesday that he has nominated U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in the Middle East. Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian parliament for the populist Progress Party, said Trump should be considered because of his work "for a peace agreement between the...
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – Californians who haven't paid their rent since March 1 because of the coronavirus can stay in their homes through at least Jan. 31 under a new state law Gov. Gavin Newsom signed late, late Monday – one day before statewide eviction protections were set to expire. The bill does not halt foreclosures for landlords whose tenants have stopped paying rent, but it does extend some state protections to rental properties of four units or less – protections previously only available to owner-occupied homes...
Protesters in the nation’s capital—one of the largest recipients of federal aid—became a rowdy mob Thursday night outside the White House after the conclusion of President Donald Trump’s acceptance speech during the Republican National Convention. Harassed guests who were present for the president’s speech credited officers of the Metropolitan Police Department with protecting them as they departed the White House. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has rejected additional federal help in law enforcement despite the unrest that swep...

Why does the public education system continue to fail America’s children? Policy experts have pondered this question for decades. Most say the answer is complicated, requiring a nuanced, collaborative approach. But not The New York Times. It found the problem, and it’s simple: white parents. The solution? “Try, whenever possible, to suppress the power of white parents.” That quote comes from the Times’ podcast “Nice White Parents,” which chronicles the history of a single public school in New York. Specifically,...
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A plan by the governor of Oregon to use sheriff's deputies from surrounding counties to help patrol Portland following the deadly shooting of a Trump supporter was sharply criticized by law enforcement officials who said it wouldn't end the "cycle of violence" in the city that's approaching 100 consecutive nights of often-violent Black Lives Matter protests. Gov. Kate Brown, a Democrat, announced the plan Sunday to temporarily use deputies from two...
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kobe Bryant. Rep. John Lewis. And now, Chadwick Boseman. So far, 2020 has been marred with bad news and tragedy with the deaths of several popular Black icons including Bryant, Lewis and recently Boseman, who died Friday. All three were viewed as leaders in their respective fields of sports, politics and film — places where people, particularly in the Black community, have often looked for inspiration during a year of racial tension and protests against the police brutality of unarmed Black people. But for...
Businesses are shifting operations from downtown Portland, Oregon, or scuttling plans to open stores there because of the near-nightly rioting and protests that have gone on since May 28. Portions of the city are boarded up. Rioters, who often gather around 9 p.m. and don't disperse until early the next morning, had caused tens of millions of dollars of damage or lost business by early July. While many Standard Insurance employees have been working from home since March...
NEW YORK (AP) — The S&P 500 ticked further into record territory on Thursday after the Federal Reserve made a major overhaul to its strategy, one that could keep interest rates low for longer. The benchmark index rose 0.2%, to another all-time high, but it veered through a jumbled day of trading to get there. Prices for stocks, bonds and gold all made several U-turns after Fed Chair Jerome Powell gave a highly anticipated speech. In it, he essentially said the Fed may c...
In a typically awkward way, Major League Baseball has been pulled into America's discussion about racial injustice. Some teams are playing. Some aren't. Some have played with individual players sitting out. But across the sport, one theme became clear: Baseball shouldn't avoid potentially difficult conversations and decisions regarding social issues. Though the process may be imperfect, there was agreement that coaches, players and teams should speak their mind. "This is at...
Walmart is the latest company to want a piece of TikTok, the popular Chinese-owned video app that has come under fire from the Trump administration. The world's largest retailer made a joint bid with tech giant Microsoft to buy TikTok's U.S. business, according to a person close to the deal who isn't authorized to discuss the terms publicly. It may seem like an unlikely combination, but Microsoft and Walmart are already business partners. Microsoft provides cloud computing...
From the air, the destruction of Hurricane Laura is especially stark. Photographs from The Associated Press show entire neighborhoods surrounded by green-brown floodwater. A glassy high-rise stands with most of its windows missing. An airport hangar is shredded into ribbons of metal. After days of gathering strength in the Gulf of Mexico, Laura grew into one of the most powerful storms ever to strike the U.S., a Category 4 monster with 150 mph winds that surpassed even...

The charges include one count of first-degree intentional homicide; one count of first-degree reckless homicide; one count of attempted first-degree intentional homicide; two counts of first-degree...
Washington, DC - The U.S. Marshals Service Missing Child Unit, in conjunction with the agency’s Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and Georgia state and local agencies, led a two-week operation in August in Atlanta and Macon, Georgia, to rescue endangered missing children. "Operation Not Forgotten" resulted in the rescue of 26 children, the safe location of 13 children and the arrest of nine criminal associates. Additionally, investigators cleared 26 a...
A rising generation of Republican stars offered an optimistic view of President Donald Trump's leadership on the opening night of the Republican Party's scaled-back convention Monday, Aug. 24. As Trump faces pressure to expand his appeal beyond his loyal supporters, Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, the Senate's sole Black Republican, and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, the daughter of Indian immigrants, sought to cast the Republican Party as welcoming to Americans of colo...
Teachers and parents got a brief glimpse of a new kind of pandemic-era nightmare Monday when Zoom – the video-conferencing service that powers everything from distance learning to business meetings to casual, socially distant get-togethers – abruptly went dead. For roughly two-and-a-half hours Monday morning, many users were unable to load the Zoom website; others could neither host nor join scheduled meetings. Zoom fixed the problem by 11:30 a.m. ET, the company said on its status page. The timing was less than ideal, sin...
A Pearl Harbor ceremony marking the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II – possibly the last opportunity for many aging U.S. veterans to commemorate the day – will be limited to survivors of the war living in Hawaii because of coronavirus concerns. The plan had been to allow about 200 people, mostly World War II veterans, their families and government officials, to gather on the battleship USS Missouri, which hosted the Japanese surrender Sept. 2, 1945, in Tokyo Bay...
When a massive wildfire swept through California's oldest state park recently, it was feared many trees in a grove of old-growth redwoods, some of them 2,000 years old and among the tallest living things on Earth, may finally have succumbed. But a reporter and photographer with The Associated Press hiked the renowned Redwood Trail at Big Basin Redwoods State Park Monday, Aug. 24, and confirmed most of the ancient redwoods had withstood the blaze. Among the survivors is one...
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has reportedly handed part of his authority to his younger sister, Kim Yo Jong, and some close aides, South Korea’s spy agency said Thursday, Aug. 20. The National Intelligence Service said during a closed-door briefing to South Korean lawmakers Thursday that the dictator is delegating responsibilities to officials including his sister, who is now involved in leading dealings with Washington and Seoul. “Currently, Kim Yo Jong, the first vice department director of the Workers’ Party Centr...
Churches in California and Minnesota, backed by a conservative legal group, filed lawsuits recently against the governors of their states challenging restrictions imposed due to the coronavirus outbreak that they contend are violations of religious liberty. They’re the latest in a long series of legal challenges, many of them in California, pitting clerics and houses of worship who believe they should be exempt from certain restrictions on public gatherings against governors who insist the measures are needed to rein in t...
False claims that Kamala Harris is not legally eligible to serve as U.S. vice president or president have been circulating in social media posts since 2019, when she first launched her Democratic primary campaign. On Thursday, after Harris was selected by Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to serve as his running mate, the claims began to once again circulate on social media. A look at the claim: The claim is that Harris is ineligible to serve as vice president or president because her mother is from India and her...
According to reports by The Associated Press, a former FBI lawyer plans to plead guilty to making a false statement in the first criminal case arising from U.S. attorney John Durham’s investigation into the probe of ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign, his lawyer said Friday, Aug. 14. Kevin Clinesmith is accused of altering a government email about former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page who was a target of secret FBI surveillance, according to documents filed in Washington’s federal court. His lawyer, Jus...
Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is among the planned speakers at the Democrat National Convention in August. The convention will take place over four nights starting Monday, Aug. 17. It is largely taking place remotely because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama are scheduled to take part, as are former first ladies Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton, who lost to President Donald Trump in 2016. The top Democrats in...
Deferring the payroll tax or permanently cutting it won’t affect Social Security, President Donald Trump told reporters, Monday, Aug. 10. “What we’re doing is we reimburse through the general fund, not through Social Security. This will have no impact on Social Security,” Trump said before departing Morristown Municipal Airport in New Jersey. The payroll tax is typically paid by employers with money they withhold from workers. Social Security, which pays money to retirees, is primarily funded through the payroll tax. Trump o...
CHICAGO (AP) - Two words summed up Tamani Jayasinghe's exuberance for the first Indian American and Black woman to run for vice president: "Kamala Aunty." That title of respect that goes beyond family in Asian circles immediately came to mind when Joe Biden announced Kamala Harris as his running mate. So the 27-year-old with Sri Lankan roots tweeted it as a wink to others who understood the significance of the term. "The fact that she is both Black and brown is what makes...
