MOSCOW (AP) — Prosecutors have displayed $2 million in cash, which they claim was a bribe, at the corruption trial of a former Russian economic development minister. Alexei Ulyukayev, the highest-ranking Russian official to have been arrested since 1993, was last year at the headquarters of Russia's largest oil producer, Rosneft, after a sting operation by Russia's main intelligence agency. Ulyukayev denies the charges and says Rosneft's CEO Igor Sechin set him up. The circumstances of the case have... Читать дальше...

BEIJING (AP) — China pulled out all the stops for President Donald Trump's arrival in Beijing: honor guard, marching band, jumping children. The ceremony accompanying Trump's arrival at Beijing's airport on Wednesday afternoon was elaborate even by China's lavish standards. Heads of state are usually given a low-key reception at the airport, with the real pomp and circumstance reserved for his or her arrival at the Great Hall of the People in the center of Beijing. As he exited Air Force One, Trump and his wife... Читать дальше...

NEW YORK (AP) — It's before dawn when two outreach workers find a homeless man known as Juice near a train station in Harlem. A nurse will be visiting to discuss his heart problems, they tell him. A short time later, in Marcus Garvey Park, the sun has just begun to rise when the caseworkers approach a man zipped inside a sleeping bag. They have encountered him before; they know he's teasing when he gives a phony name. Gladys Rivera and Ali Olson are part of a citywide, round-the-clock army of workers for nonprofits contracted by the city. Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Texas church massacre is providing a familiar frustration for law enforcement: FBI agents are unable to unlock the gunman's encrypted cellphone to learn what evidence it might hold. But while heart-wrenching details of the rampage that left 26 people dead might revive the debate over the balance of digital privacy rights and national security, it's not likely to prompt change anytime soon. Congress has not shown a strong appetite for legislation that would force technology companies... Читать дальше...

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Democrat Ralph Northam has seized his party's first major Trump-era victory, beating back a charge from Republican Ed Gillespie in the race for Virginia governor. The bruising election tested the power of President Donald Trump's fiery nationalism against the energy of the Trump resistance. In Virginia, like in several contests across America on Tuesday, the Trump resistance won. And it wasn't close. Democrats also scored victories in the race for New Jersey governor. The Democratic...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump handily won the election a year ago Wednesday. Ask him and he'll tell you about it. Ten months into his presidency, Trump is still focused — some say fixated — on the election that catapulted him to power. Egged on by longtime friends and cable news, he repeatedly attacks his vanquished opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton. In public and in private, he still boasts of the size of his victory. "It was great victory, and a victory that made a lot of people very happy," Trump said Tuesday in Seoul... Читать дальше...

BUCKHANNON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia Wesleyan College is cutting its workforce by 27 people. College President Joel Thierstein told The Charleston Gazette-Mail that 15 at-will employees were let go Monday, and another 12 employees were notified that their contracts won't be renewed at the end of the school year. He said declining enrollment and competition from online private colleges and research universities made it necessary to cut workers. Thierstein said about 80 fewer students are attending Wesleyan this year. Читать дальше...

GEORGETOWN, Del. (AP) — How much is a 7-year-old beagle worth? That's a question to be answered in a lawsuit filed against a southern Delaware hospital where a female beagle named Lacey underwent surgery last year to remove her anal glands. The dog's owners say the surgery was botched, leading to more surgeries and roughly $10,000 in additional medical bills. The defendants argued that because dogs are considered personal property in Delaware, the damages Lacey's owners might recover cannot exceed her fair market value before the surgery...

Dear Abby: My ex-husband and I have been divorced for three years and share custody of our 10-year-old daughter, who lives with me full time. Her father lives out of state and sees her during the summer months. Last year my daughter had an incident (an “I’ll show you mine, you show me yours” kind of thing) with a friend at school, and my ex and I decided they should no longer hang out after school alone anymore. A year has gone by, and because they’re in the same social circle at school, my ex is... Читать дальше...

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — President Donald Trump delivered a sharp warning to North Korea Wednesday, telling the rogue nation: "Do not underestimate us. And do not try us."

"The weapons you are acquiring are not making you safer, they are putting your regime in grave danger," Trump told an audience of South Korean lawmakers... Читать дальше...
