The global recall previously totaled about 50 million inflators, but it's likely to expand to more than 100 million, adding to the already biggest recall in U.S. history. Because of the sheer numbers involved, it will take years to manufacture replacement parts. Honda President Takahiro Hachigo has ruled out any independent financial bailout... Читать дальше...

The consensus on DeForest Buckner? Good pick (Ryan Kang AP)While this 49ers’ season isn’t nearly as disastrous as last year, with the sudden retirements and the costly coaching change, few are predicting glowing success for the 49ers’ in 2016. Mike Greenberg of the Mike and Mike national morning show predicts the 49ers are going to have the first pick in the 2017 draft. Of course that means Greenberg feels the 49ers will be the worst team in the NFL this year. And the 49ers 2016 draft grades would get most kids grounded. Читать дальше...

Trump's ascent as the presumptive Republican nominee makes some of Obama's main achievements more likely to survive after the next president takes over. Trump's policy prescriptions, while full of contradictions and short on specifics, are generally closer to Obama's than those of Trump's closest GOP rival, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

Nonetheless, Travis argues, neither the presumptive Republican nominee nor Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton actually gets people like him. Going into a general election matchup, Trump appears to have the initial upper hand with the most vocally frustrated voters, who powered him past a gaggle of career politicians in the GOP primary.

Ahead of a private meeting Thursday with House Speaker Paul Ryan, Trump used several televised interviews that aired Sunday to knock Ryan and other influential Republicans, along with a nomination system he says is "totally rigged."

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory shows no signs of backing down in the face of the federal government's Monday deadline to declare he won't enforce the new state law limiting protections for LGBT people — defiance that could risk funding for the state's university system and lead to a protracted legal battle.
