AP News LJUBLJANA, Slovenia (AP) — Slovenians on Sunday voted in a referendum on a law to allow terminally ill patients to end their lives.

Parliament in the small European Union nation passed the law in July after voters had backed it in a nonbinding referendum last year. Opponents, however, have forced another vote on the divisive issue after collecting more than 40,000 signatures.

AP News LAS VEGAS (AP) — A fifth consecutive Formula 1 championship is within Max Verstappen's reach following the disqualifications of contenders Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri after Saturday night's Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Guinea-Bissau votes as president seeks second term and main opposition party is barred

AP News BISSAU, Guinea-Bissau (AP) — Guinea-Bissau began voting on Sunday as President Umaro Sissoco Embalo seeks a second term in the West African nation, which has endured multiple coups.
