Americans view college campuses as far friendlier to liberals than to conservatives when it comes to free speech, with adults across the political spectrum seeing less tolerance for those on the right, according to a new poll. Overall, 47% of adults say liberals have “a lot” of freedom to express their views on college campuses, while just 20% said the same of conservatives, according to polling from the University of Chicago and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
STORY: Japan has sweated through a long hot summer. But the heat doesn’t seem to have sapped business energy. Figures out Monday (October 2) showed sentiment improving in the third quarter. The closely watched “tankan” index of big-business mood beat forecasts. For major manufacturers it hit 9 in September - up from 5 in June and marking a second straight quarter of improvement.The survey showed companies also expect conditions to keep improving.For big non-manufacturers the index hit 27 - the highest figure since late 1991. The gains came after many firms said they were able to pass on higher costs to consumers. Falling raw material costs also helped lift the mood. Now the numbers are fuelling hopes that a rebound is taking hold.One economist told Reuters that the economy was now likely to keep expanding at above-trend pace. That could add to mounting staff shortages, and drive prices higher. The worries for Japanese firms are now mostly overseas. Sluggish global demand and an uncertain recovery in China are both concerns. Even so, the robust tankan figures will be closely examined by the Bank of Japan, as it decides when or whether it is finally ready to start raising rates.
An alternative mental health court program designed to fast-track people with untreated schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders into housing and medical care — potentially without their consent — kicked off in seven California counties, including San Francisco, on Monday. Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom created the new civil court process, called “CARE Court," as part of a massive push to address the homelessness crisis in California.
China will back firms in the smart vehicle supply chain to form groups dedicated to spreading innovation, state media said on Monday, as it races to hammer out standards for assisted and autonomous driving functions by 2025. The world's largest auto market, which set the target for such standards in July, has made so-called intelligent connected vehicles (ICVs) a long-term strategic focus in a drive to become the leading global player in the still nascent industry. China will support firms in forming "innovation consortia", that enable them to learn from each other's strengths in order to achieve technological breakthroughs, the official Xinhua news agency said.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — President Joe Biden 's name won't appear on the ballot anywhere in 2023, but you wouldn't know it from the campaigns that Republican candidates for governor are running in Kentucky and Mississippi. GOP nominees in both states — Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron and first-term Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves — are just as likely to mention the Democratic president as they are to name the person they face in the Nov. 7 general election. Tying candidates for governor to n

A few years ago, Pope Francis told the head of the main Vatican-backed Catholic women's organization to be “brave” in pushing for change for women in the Catholic Church. Maria Lia Zervino took his advice and in 2021 wrote Francis a letter, then made it public, saying flat out that the Catholic Church owed a big debt to half of humanity and that women deserved to be at the table where church decisions are made, not as mere “ornaments” but as protagonists. Francis appears to have taken note, and this week will open a global gathering of Catholic bishops and laypeople discussing the future of the church, where women — their voices and their votes — are taking center stage for the first time.
Former Dutch foreign minister Wopke Hoekstra will try to convince European Parliament lawmakers on Monday to approve him as the EU's next head of climate change policy, responsible for emissions-cutting measures in the world's third-biggest economy. Hoekstra faces a three-hour hearing in the European Parliament's environment committee on Monday evening, seeking approval from at least two-thirds of the committee. If approved, he would take on the role as climate action faces political pushback in Europe, and as tensions mount with China and the United States over the race to manufacture green tech.
The year 2023 has been dubbed British Columbia’s worst wildfire year on record. Since April 1, more than 2,000 wildfires have burned over 22,000 square kilometres of the province’s beautiful landscape. Among the population centres, the hardest hit areas are West Kelowna and the North Shuswap. By the fall, the damage had become so extensive that the B.C. government set up a disaster assistance fund in an effort to help communities rebuild. Drought conditions are partly to blame, with 80 percent o
DENVER (AP) — When former elite fencer Kirsten Hawkes reached out to her childhood coach for advice about starting her own fencing club, their meeting immediately turned awkward. It began, she said, with an unwanted kiss on the lips when the two met during a fencing tournament in Minneapolis last October. Then, as she and the coach were saying good-bye, he forcibly kissed her — “stuck his tongue in my mouth,” Hawkes told investigators. Hawkes filed a complaint against the then-assistant coach wi
WASHINGTON (AP) — “How would you be different as speaker, compared to Mr. Boehner?” a reporter asked then-House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy in September 2015 as the California Republican pursued, and eventually gave up, his first attempt at the speakership. McCarthy laughed while standing next to outgoing Speaker John Boehner — who had just stepped down after facing a threat of removal — and joked that he was from a different generation and wouldn't be as tan. Eight years later, McCarthy is f
