Getting the most out of barrier-free tours for yourself or someone with a disability

AP News BERLIN (AP) — For people living with disabilities, barriers to tourism can range from the obvious — such as an out-of-service elevator — to the unseen, like an outing that's too long or a setting that's too loud.

As the baby boom generation ages, the travel industry is increasingly catering to older adults with the time and money to sightsee internationally and who sometimes need additional assistance.

AP News UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Four candidates vying to lead the United Nations have spent hours being grilled about their views on issues from restoring global peace to ending escalating poverty — in what the U.N. General Assembly president called one of the toughest job interviews in the world.

There was no clear victor after Chile’s Michelle Bachelet, Argentina’s Rafael Grossi, Costa Rica’s Rebeca Grynspan and Senegal’s Macky Sall fielded questions from U.N. ambassadors this past week.

AP News From Fernando Mendoza to Red Murdock, 257 players were selected in the 2026 NFL draft.

Some will have instant success. Others will need more time to develop. Not all of them will make the roster.
