LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak fired the chairman of his ruling Conservative Party Sunday over a “serious breach” of the ministerial code. Pressure had been building on Nadhim Zahawi amid allegations he settled a multimillion-dollar unpaid tax bill while he was in charge of the country’s Treasury. In a letter to Zahawi, Sunak wrote he had been forced to act after promising at the start of his tenure that his government “would have integrity, professionalism and accountability a
It took just a few minutes for Jennifer Strangeway to get her Pap test done in July. But it took six months to get the results — and they weren't good.

Predatory aquatic species like the chain pickerel and smallmouth bass wer
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Mass shootings have commanded public attention on a disturbingly frequent basis across the U.S. But rather than provoking a unified response from elected officials, each additional shooting seems to be widening the political divide on gun policy among states. “It’s wash, rinse and repeat with these mass shootings,” said Michael Anderson, a bartender who survived a mass shooting at a Colorado nightclub. “They happen, and then they happen, and then they happen — and then

Space is always at a premium in this notoriously crowded city, but it's hard for many to imagine moving to a roomier part of Japan. Giving people cash to abandon Tokyo is one way Japan's government has been trying to deal with the issue of overcrowding in the capital and a shrinking population in most of the rest of the country.
