The Latest: Polls open for races across the US as a busy primary election day gets underway

AP News For a state that’s home to Hollywood, there isn’t much star power in California’s gubernatorial race. It’s a somewhat different story in Los Angeles, where a reality television personality is running for mayor as the city prepares to host the Olympics.

Fear shadows Peru’s runoff vote as extortion and killings surge nationwide

AP News TRUJILLO, Peru (AP) — In a desert area along northwestern Peru’s Pacific coast, Gladys Saavedra eyed with suspicion the strangers who arrive at the small market where she works alongside a group of women who, despite meager sales, must collectively give $300 a month to extortionists or risk paying an even higher price.

The killing of Henry Nowak, 18, happened in December, but the story got renewed attention after the killer was sentenced to life with a minimum of 21 years in prison Monday, and video was released that showed police not believing Nowak when he said that he had been stabbed.

The killer, Vickrum Digwa, 23, who is Sikh, had reported to police that he was the victim of a racist attack by...

Trump signs an executive order to vet top AI models for national security risks

AP News President Donald Trump signed an executive order on oversight of artificial intelligence Tuesday, less than two weeks after postponing a White House ceremony over his concerns that a similar policy could dull America’s technological edge.

The order establishes a framework for the federal government to vet the national security risks of the most advanced AI systems for up to a month before their public release. Participation by AI developers would be voluntary, the order says.

“Advanced AI capabilities make our Nation stronger, but also introduce new national...
