ÅRE, Sweden (AP) — Olympic champion Mikaela Shiffrin won her record-equaling eighth World Cup slalom of the season Sunday but her main rival in the overall standings was second to keep the pressure on the American star.

LONDON (AP) — Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, have hit back at the author of a new book on Britain's royal family, describing his writing as “deranged conspiracy and melodrama.”

Kazakhstanis vote in referendum on new constitution that would cement president's grip on power

Voters in Kazakhstan headed to the polls Sunday for a referendum on a new constitution that would strengthen President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s grip on power in Central Asia’s largest country.
