SAO BERNARDO DO CAMPO, Brazil — Former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva defied an order to turn himself in to police on Friday as he hunkered down with supporters at a metallurgical union that was the spiritual birthplace of his rise to power. The once wildly popular leader, who rose from poverty to lead Latin America’s largest nation, had until 5 p.m. local time to present himself to police in the city of Curitiba to begin serving a sentence of 12 years and one month for a corruption conviction.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma lawmakers approved an additional $40 million for public schools Friday, but the head of the state's largest teacher's union said it was going to take more than that to end a walkout that has led to five straight days of school closures. Two bills approved by the state Senate — one taxing certain internet sales and another expanding tribal gambling — will be sent to Gov. Mary Fallin, who will decide whether to sign the revenue-raising plans into law. Oklahoma Education... Читать дальше...

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Hey, it's Rocky. and Rocky? Sylvester Stallone had passersby doing double takes and chanting "Rocky! Rocky!" on Friday as he made a surprise visit to the statue of his iconic Rocky Balboa character in Philadelphia. The 71-year-old Stallone has played the underdog boxing champ in seven "Rocky" films since 1976 and is currently in the City of Brotherly Love making the sequel to the 2015 hit "Creed."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — An Air Force officer who served on the president's security detail faces a possible court-martial in Texas for encouraging service members to send him photos of their genitals from locations around the world and rewarding contributions with commemorative T-shirts, patches and coins. 2nd Lt.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — President Donald Trump's plan to deploy National Guard troops to the border with Mexico has drawn resistance from some governors, most of them Democrats, but they could be powerless to deny the commander in chief's request for soldiers. Governors have some leeway to say no presidents, but if Trump uses a federal law to order the deployment, the matter could be out of the governors' hands. The statute known as "Title 10 duty status" establishes that National Guard personnel operate... Читать дальше...

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Best Buy founder Richard Schulze and former company CEO Brad Anderson said they wouldn't have contributed to a conservative nonprofit group had they known about its distribution of inflammatory anti-Muslim videos on social media. Schulze's investment management firm, Olympus Ventures, said in a statement Friday that Schulze was not aware the organization, Secure America Now, had distributed the ads when the company made a 2016 contribution to the group. "We were unaware of... Читать дальше...

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Three judges for the Nobel literature prize have resigned. Klas Ostergren, Kjell Espmark and Peter Englund released statements or letters Friday to Swedish media but gave few details. Englund wrote in a letter to the tabloid Aftonbladet that his decision was linked to the Swedish academy's decision late last year to cut ties with the head of a Stockholm cultural center over allegations of sexual misconduct. Judges on the 18-member committee are appointed for life and are technically not permitted to leave. Читать дальше...

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire hasn't been contacted regarding President Donald Trump's plan to deploy National Guard troops to the Mexican border, and the Republican governor's office isn't saying whether they would be deployed if requested. The plan has drawn resistance from several Democratic governors and one Republican governor. A spokesman for Gov. Chris Sununu said Friday sending troops will depend "on the details of the specific request." Sununu is the first Republican governor not to publicly take a position on the plan. Читать дальше...

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Emails show that Iowa Finance Authority Director David Jamison requested a friendly get-together with longtime ally Gov. Kim Reynolds, just days before she fired him for alleged sexual harassment. The records released Friday underscore how swiftly Reynolds acted to terminate Jamison, with whom she'd had a working relationship dating back two decades, once her staff learned of the allegations. But they don't shed light on the nature of Jamison's alleged misconduct, which the... Читать дальше...

¡Sorpresa! Kate Hudson y su novio, el músico Danny Fujikawa, reventaron el viernes globos negros con signos de interrogación que tenían dentro otros globos rosados y confeti para revelar que tendrán una hija. Ataviada con un largo vestido blanco, Hudson, sus dos hijos y Fujikawa poncharon cada uno un globo, tras lo cual gritaron y saltaron de emoción. Hudson escribió al pie del video: “Si se han preguntado por qué he estado tan ausente en mis redes sociales es porque ¡nunca me había sentido peor... Читать дальше...

Architect Joseph Esherick designed the 1963 Oakland Hills home tucked among the trees at 5999 Grizzly Peak Blvd. and currently listed for $2 million.

At this point, the winkingly irreverent shaggy-dog potboiler is as firmly established a genre as the hard-boiled stories it tries to subvert. Robert Altman kicked things off with 1973’s “The Long Goodbye,” his riff on a bewildered Philip Marlowe in the Age of Aquarius, and the Coens later took that baton and ran it up to summit of Cult Film Mountain with “The Big Lebowski,” leaving plenty of imitators trailing behind and inspiring plenty more in the two decades since.

KHUZAA, Gaza Strip — Thousands of Palestinians protested along Gaza’s sealed border with Israel on Friday, engulfing the volatile area in black smoke from burning tires to try to block the view of Israeli snipers and cheering a Hamas strongman who pledged that the border fence will eventually fall. Israeli troops opened fire from across the border, killing seven Palestinians and wounding 293 others in the second mass border protest in a week, Gaza health officials said. Hundreds more suffered other injuries... Читать дальше...

JOHANNESBURG — Just weeks after falling from power, Jacob Zuma, South Africa’s former president, made a brief appearance in court Friday in a corruption case that emphasized the political upheaval that has recently swept the country. A judge in the High Court in Durban adjourned the case, which is related to a multibillion-dollar arms deal from the 1990s, until June 8. Zuma, who made no comment in court, had tried for years to avoid prosecution in the case. The brevity... Читать дальше...

SEOUL — Park Geun-hye, South Korea’s impeached and ousted president, was sentenced Friday to 24 years in prison on a variety of criminal charges, in a case that exposed the entrenched, collusive ties between South Korea’s government and conglomerates like Samsung. A three-judge panel at the Seoul Central District Court also ordered Park to pay $17 million in fines, in a ruling that marked a climactic moment in an influence-peddling scandal that shook the country’s political and business worlds.

“Atlanta” is full of surprises, but Thursday’s episode delivered the biggest: Creator and star Donald Glover, in whiteface, played a character who bore an eerie resemblance to Michael Jackson. Glover isn’t credited with playing the Jackson-like character, a sad, high-voiced musician named Teddy Perkins who lives in almost total isolation. In fact, Teddy is listed in the credits as playing himself. But fans and critics quickly figured out what was going on. Vulture’s Matt Zoller Seitz said Perkins... Читать дальше...

1 Malaysia elections: Malaysia’s scandal-tainted prime minister announced Friday that Parliament will be dissolved to pave the way for general elections, expected to be held next month that will pit his long-ruling coalition with a revived opposition led by former strongman Mahathir Mohamad. The polls are seen as a test of survival for Prime Minister Najib Razak, who is widely expected to win but under pressure to improve the performance of his National Front coalition after support eroded in the past two elections.

Thirty-six years after appearing as Claire in the “Breakfast Club,” actress Molly Ringwald revisited the cult-classic film with her 10-year-old daughter and was troubled by the crotch scene in the wake of the #MeToo era. In a new essay for The New Yorker,  Ringwald wrote, “It’s hard for me to understand how [director] John Hughes was able to write with so much sensitivity, and also have such a glaring blind spot.” “I thought about it again this past fall, after a number of women came forward with...

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration imposed new sanctions on seven of Russia’s richest men and 17 top government officials Friday in the latest effort to punish President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle for interference in the 2016 election and other Russian aggressions. The sanctions are designed to penalize some of Russia’s richest industrialists, who are seen in the West as enriching themselves from Putin’s increasingly authoritarian administration.

LONDON — Ex-spy Sergei Skripal is improving rapidly and is no longer in critical condition, a British health official said Friday, a month after he and his daughter were poisoned with a rare nerve agent that triggered a diplomatic crisis between Russia and the West. Skripal and his daughter Yulia were found unconscious on a bench in the English city of Salisbury on March 4 and were taken to a hospital, where for weeks they lay unconscious in critical condition. British authorities... Читать дальше...

1 Gun control: A federal judge in Boston on Friday dismissed a lawsuit challenging Massachusetts’ ban on assault weapons. U.S. District Judge William Young ruled that assault weapons and large capacity magazines banned by the state in a 1998 law fall outside the scope of the “personal right to ‘bear arms’ under the Second Amendment.” The lawsuit was filed last year by the Gun Owners Action League of Massachusetts and other groups who said the law infringed on their rights.
