CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — American ski racer Breezy Johnson won the Olympic downhill Sunday with a hard-charging run on a day marred by teammate Lindsey Vonn’s crash that saw her being taken off the mountain in a helicopter.

Johnson was the sixth racer and found speed with a risk-taking trip along the iconic Olympia delle Tofana course on a sunny day in Cortina. She was in the leader’s box when Vonn, the No. 13 racer, cut a corner too close and was spun around before crashing. The race was put on hold for more than 20 minutes.

Takaichi's coalition on path to winning a majority in Japan's lower house vote, exit polls say

TOKYO (AP) — The governing coalition of Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is almost certain to win a single-party majority in a key parliamentary election Sunday, NHK public television and other major networks say, citing their exit polls.

Gaza's Rafah crossing reopens, allowing limited travel as Palestinians claim delays and mistreatment

CAIRO (AP) — A limited number of Palestinians were able to travel between Gaza and Egypt on Sunday after Gaza's Rafah crossing reopened after a two-day closure, Egyptian state media reported. The vital border point opened last week for the first time since 2024, one of the main requirements for the U.S.-backed ceasefire.

The crossing was closed Friday and Saturday due to confusion about reopening operations.

Egypt's Al Qahera television station said that Palestinians began crossing in both directions around noon on Sunday. Israel did not immediately confirm.

Voters are worried about the cost of housing. But Trump wants home prices to keep climbing

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump wants to keep home prices high, bypassing calls to ramp up construction so people can afford what has been a ticket to the middle class.

Trump has instead argued for protecting existing owners who have watched the values of their homes climb. It's a position that flies in the face of what many economists, the real estate industry, local officials and apartment dwellers say is needed to fix a big chunk of America’s affordability problem.

“I don’t want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up for... Read More
