Brazil’s Supreme Court begins trial of suspects in Rio councilwoman Marielle Franco killing

AP News SAO PAULO (AP) — The trial of the suspects accused in the 2018 killing of Rio de Janeiro councilwoman Marielle Franco and her driver began Tuesday in Brazil's Supreme Court. The shocking, high-profile case turned the politician — who defended the human rights of Brazil's marginalized communities — into a global symbol of resistance.

A five-judge panel will rule on charges against former congressman Chiquinho Brazão; his brother who was a member of a Rio government watchdog, Domingos Brazão; his assistant Robson Calixto Fonseca; police investigator Rivaldo Barbosa and...

Ex-Los Angeles fire chief sues the city over her firing after the Palisades Fire

AP News LOS ANGELES (AP) — The former Los Angeles fire chief has filed a lawsuit against the city, alleging that her ouster was part of an orchestrated effort to smear her conduct and decision-making so Mayor Karen Bass could avoid accountability for the most destructive wildfire in LA history.

Bass sacked Kristin Crowley a month after the January 2025 Palisades Fire, and her dismissal was followed by finger-pointing between the ex-chief and City Hall over the blaze's devastation and the fire department’s funding. In March of that year, Crowley lost an appeal to the City Council to...

AP News WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department is suing the University of California over allegations that UCLA failed to protect Jewish employees from antisemitic harassment amid pro-Palestinian protests that roiled the campus in 2023 and 2024.

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in California, is the latest escalation in the Trump administration’s campaign to punish top universities that it says have been soft on antisemitism. The suit accuses UCLA of failing to discipline those who were involved in protests, including dozens who were arrested in 2024 for failing to leave a campus...

The Latest: Trump will lay out his midterm agenda at the State of the Union

AP News President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address tonight at 9 p.m. ET is likely to be a test run of the message Republicans will give to voters in November’s elections for control of the House and the Senate.

The president and his party appear vulnerable, with polls showing much of America distrusts how Trump has managed the government in his first year back in office. In addition, the Supreme Court last week struck down one of the chief levers of his economic and foreign policy by ruling he lacked the power to impose many of his sweeping tariffs.
