JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday ordered his backers to reword a contentious piece of legislation that could potentially stifle a police investigation against him, in what appeared to be an attempt to defuse rising public anger against the long-ruling leader. The “recommendations bill” would end the police’s current practice of recommending to prosecutors whether to indict suspects upon completing their investigations. It also aims to stem leaks from the investigations themselves... Читать дальше...

NWOYA, Uganda — Richard Opio dipped a dirt-stained hand into the pinkish beans, marveling at the dramatic changes they’ve made for his family. They used to harvest two sacks of normal beans; now they take in six. The so-called “super bean,” a fast-maturing, high-yield variety, is being promoted by Uganda’s government and agriculture experts amid efforts to feed hunger-prone parts of Africa. It’s also a step toward the next goal: the “super, super bean” that researchers hope can be created. Читать дальше...

CHICAGO - The 49ers got something more important than their second win of the season Sunday: Fairly strong assurance they have their quarterback of the future.

The 49ers improved to 2-10 on Robbie Gould’s 24-yard field goal with four seconds left, a kick that came after Garoppolo directed a 14-play... Читать дальше...

DENVER (AP) — In an American West that has a love-hate relationship with the federal government's ownership of a checkerboard of parks, monuments, forest and desert in states from Washington to New Mexico, Utah stands out. The state has gone well beyond any other in the region in trying to pry the federal government's hands off land it sees as belonging to its residents. In 2012, its Legislature passed a law demanding the federal government give 30 million acres (121,000 square kilometers) of the land it owns in Utah to the state government ... Читать дальше...

MIAMI — Ten months ago, after nailing a three-pointer as time expired to lift the Heat to a 105-102 win over the Warriors, Miami guard Dion Waiters crossed his arms, nodded emphatically and turned to wink at Golden State forward Kevin Durant.
