WASHINGTON (AP) — Foreign ministers from the world’s largest nations are looking to address the war in Ukraine and its impact on global energy and food security when they meet in Indonesia this week. Yet instead of providing unity, the talks may well exacerbate existing divides over the Ukraine conflict. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi are set to attend the Group of 20 meeting in the Indonesian resort of Bali, wh
WASHINGTON (AP) — For some of the Washington, D.C., residents who reported for jury duty last month, a pro-Trump mob's assault on the U.S. Capitol felt like a personal attack. Ahead of a trial for a Michigan man charged in the riot, one prospective juror said a police officer injured during the melee is a close friend. Another has friends who are congressional staffers or journalists who worked at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. A woman whose boyfriend lived near the Capitol recalled the terror she

China, the only big economy promising a growth rebound this year, is again luring foreign investors. The scale and coordination of Western sanctions on Russia triggered by President Vladimir Putin's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine stunned financial markets and left managers sitting on billions of dollars of assets suddenly made worthless overnight. While such a move against China seems far-fetched given its economic size and the vast amount of foreign money invested there, it's a risk many are reluctant to ignore.

ATHENS, Ala. (AP) — Amid the stream of mass shootings that have become chillingly commonplace in America, the reality of the nation's staggering murder rate can often be seen more clearly in the deaths that never make national news. Take this weekend in the Chicago area. On Monday, a rooftop shooter opened fire into crowds gathered for an Independence Day parade in Highland Park, killing at least seven people and wounding some 30. Less talked about, Chicago Police say 68 people were shot in the
Global corporate net debt has fallen by 1.9% to $8.15 trillion in the past year as higher borrowing costs reduce appetite for new financing and strong cash flows from years of accommodative monetary conditions help companies repay existing debt, a study of 900 top firms released on Wednesday showed. Indebtedness is expected to decline by $270 billion in the coming year as companies take a more conservative stance due to higher interest rates and an economic slowdown, according to the corporate debt index by investment firm Janus Henderson. "Economic growth may slow or go into reverse, but companies are starting from a very profitable position," said Seth Meyer, fixed income portfolio manager at Janus Henderson.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Wednesday called on all parties in the world to make efforts to protect international laws as "the world is evolving in a complicated manner." Lavrov was speaking though a translator at a meeting with his Vietnamese counterpart Bui Thanh Son in Hanoi. His comments come as Russia has been accused by Western countries of breaching international law through its invasion of Ukraine.
The man accused of killing 7 people and wounding dozens more at a parade in a Chicago suburb planned the rampage for weeks, police say. Live updates.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — The abrupt resignation of Argentina’s economy minister has engulfed the country in an all-too familiar anxiety that flows from its periodic financial crises in recent decades. The departure of moderate Martín Guzmán on Saturday also gave another sign of the growing isolation of President Alberto Fernández within his own governing coalition while Vice President Cristina Fernández gains influence. Silvina Batakis, a left-leaning ally of the vice president, was tapped
A couple of Jeopardy! contestants struggled Tuesday, as the category “A Number Between 1 and 100” may have thrown off the vibe, despite being seemingly straight forward. For example, one clue was, “Your standard phonograph record until the 1950s, or the age Diana Ross turned in 2022.” While it was unknown why Diana Ross was added to the clue. A possible explanation could be that in March her fans were outraged with the show after two contestants incorrectly believed she was 95. Fortunately, contestant Jake Marvin didn’t make that same mistake…but he did make a very similar one. He thought the 78-year-old singer was 90. While some viewers found a silver-lining in the incorrect answer, (tweet) many more thought the famous singer was still being disrespected, like this fan who asked, “Why do these Jeopardy! contestants think Diana Ross is over 90 years old? Also why can’t Jeopardy! keep Diana’s name out of its mouth?” Even though fans of Diana Ross and Barack Obama couldn’t believe the incorrect responses, at least contestant Yungsheng Wang knew Obama was the 44th president. Between his vast intellect and the other contestants' wrong answers, Yungsheng finished with an impressive win. He added $25,001 to his winnings, which after two days totals $47,801.
“Yesterday should have been the day to come together with family and friends to celebrate," the vice president said in Chicago before going to Highland Park.
