ROME (AP) — Italy's stock market fell sharply Friday after the new populist, euroskeptic government announced a sharp public spending increase that will push the budget deficit to 2.4 percent of gross domestic product next year, risking a collision with the European Union. The benchmark FTSE MIB dropped 2.2 percent early Friday, hours after the government announced its first financial targets since taking office three months ago.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Brett Kavanaugh looked in desperate need of a fighter on his behalf as he gave impassioned testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee denying allegations of sexual assault. He found it in Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who told the judge straight out Thursday, "You've got nothing to apologize for." Kavanaugh alternated from anger to tears during fiery testimony. He took deep breaths and lengthy sips of water to gain his composure. He looked every bit the man... Читать дальше...

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's state-run IRNA news agency says the country's foreign minister has denounced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's allegations against Tehran at the U.N. General Assembly as an "obscene charge." Friday's report also says Mohammad Javad Zarif called Netanyahu a "liar who would not stop lying."

For centuries, people have relied on maps to figure out where they are and where they're going. But today's digital maps — seemingly more precise than ever —aren't always as dependable as they appear. At the end of August, for instance, Snapchat users woke up early to find the app's internal map had renamed New York City with the anti-Semitic label "Jewtropolis." In Washington, D.C., Google Maps incorrectly renamed a Senate office building after the late Sen. John McCain a few days after his death on Aug. Читать дальше...

Dear Abby: My husband tends to fight dirty, and I don’t know how much more I can take. If we argue about some issue between us, he’ll say something along the lines of, “This is why you have so much trouble with your colleagues at work.” He knows this is a touchy subject, and it upsets me. I have ongoing issues with two work colleagues who give me the silent treatment for months over perceived (but not intentional) slights, and it causes me a lot of social isolation and anguish. I’m upset that he... Читать дальше...

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — A government-commissioned inquiry into misconduct in Australia's banking and financial services industry has found that most of the misbehavior either went unpunished or the consequences did not reflect the seriousness of the violations. Commissioner Kenneth Hayne released an interim report Friday on his investigation. The inquiry began in December and has since heard evidence of financial institutions charging customers for services that were never provided, charging dead... Читать дальше...

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan's embattled Ahmadiyya minority enjoyed a brief moment of hope earlier this month when one of its own, a U.S.-based Princeton economist, was appointed to an economic advisory council. But the backlash from Islamic hard-liners, which led newly elected Prime Minister Imran Khan to quickly rescind the appointment under political pressure, has only underscored the Ahmadis' fraught position in the conservative, Muslim-majority country. Ahmadis believe another Islamic prophet, Ahmad... Читать дальше...

It was one hearing, with just two witnesses. But, in an era of political polarization and yawning cultural divides, Americans came away having heard very different things. Millions of men and women listened to nervous-but-composed college professor Christine Blasey Ford tell the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday that she was "100 percent" certain that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were teenagers, and they lauded her credibility and courage in speaking out.

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Residents of Taiwan's capital Taipei are using newly installed machines called "iTrash booths" to recycle cans and bottles in exchange for credit on their transportation smart cards. The initiative seeks to promote recycling while also giving residents more flexibility in how they dispose of their household garbage. The booths are about the size of vending machines and automatically compress the throwaways and contain odors while depositing payments onto the cards and issuing receipts. Читать дальше...

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — When Franco Jin was a student at Hillcrest High School four years ago, all of his friends were applying for college and he wasn't sure if he should be, too. Jin, who moved to America with his family from Argentina when he was 12, would have been the first generation of his family to attend college. Besides, he already had a job. "I was pretty happy working at KFC," Jin said. "They would let me eat all the chicken I wanted, no complaints." Jin is now a senior pre-med student at the University of Utah... Читать дальше...

CC Sabathia protected his teammates, not his wallet. The 38-year-old left-hander got his 246th win and moved the New York Yankees closer to hosting next week’s American League wild-card game but may have cost himself a $500,000 bonus. Sabathia was ejected from Thursday’s 12-1 win over the host Tampa Bay Rays in the sixth inning for hitting Jesus Sucre on the leg in retaliation for Tampa Bay reliever Andrew Kittredge throwing a pitch behind Austin Romine. In his final regular-season start, Sabathia... Читать дальше...

HOMER, Alaska (AP) — Police say a Homer-area resident turned over to police a box containing more than 100 used syringes collected near the North Star Terminal.

LOS ANGELES — Jared Goff turned a phenomenal first half into the biggest game of his career, and it was still just barely enough to beat Kirk Cousins. Goff passed for 465 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Los Angeles Rams to a 38-31 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night. Goff hit Cooper Kupp with two of his four TD throws during a 251-yard first half in which the third-year quarterback flawlessly executed coach Sean McVay’s offense. “It was just great command by him,” McVay said about Goff.
