The Supreme Court struck down Trump's tariffs. Now comes the hard work of issuing refunds

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Friday struck down President Donald Trump’s biggest and boldest tariffs. But the justices left a $133 billion question unanswered: What's going to happen to the money the government has already collected in import taxes now declared unlawful?

Companies have been lining up for refunds. But the way forward could prove chaotic.

When the smoke clears, trade lawyers say, importers are likely to get money back — eventually. “It’s going to be a bumpy ride for awhile," said trade lawyer Joyce Adetutu, a partner at the Vinson &... Read More

In war-weary Kyiv, wounded Ukrainian veterans turn epic poetry into living testimony

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Sitting in a circle the day before opening night, Ukrainian war veterans and drama students took turns reading their lines from a script that traveled centuries to reach them.

At the center was Olha Semioshkina, directing the group through her adaptation of “Eneida” by Ivan Kotliarevskyi — an 18th-century Ukrainian reimagining of Virgil's “Aeneid.” This production, though, had a modern-day message about resilience in the face of the war that's nearing its fourth year since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Keeping calm and carrying on, the royal family weathers worst crisis in generations

Ski guides in spotlight as investigators probe deadly California avalanche

An investigation to determine if backcountry guides were criminally negligent during a California ski trip that ended with eight people killed in an avalanche and another presumed dead has surprised legal experts, who said the probe has scant precedent.

Backcountry tour clients typically sign waivers of liability that shield guides and their companies from potential lawsuits. And skiing is recognized by courts in California as inherently dangerous, attorney Andrew McDevitt said.

That means recreational skiers assume certain risks, such as potential collisions with rocks... Read More

Officials work to lower risk of deadly slides to recover bodies of California avalanche victims

TRUCKEE, Calif. (AP) — Officials worked to lower the risks of more deadly slides Friday in the area where an avalanche struck in California’s Sierra Nevada so crews could safely recover the bodies of the people killed.

Rescue crews loaded up a snow vehicle with skis and other supplies and headed toward the area near Castle Peak, northwest of Lake Tahoe, while helicopters circled overhead. Avalanche mitigation work is designed to intentionally release unstable snowpack to reduce the risk when rescue crews go in.

The Nevada County Sheriff’s office previously said... Read More
