TBILISI, Georgia (AP) — Several thousand Georgians have marked Orthodox Easter with a candlelight vigil outside Parliament in the capital, Tbilisi. Daily protests are continuing against a proposed bill that critics say would stifle media freedom and obstruct the country’s bid to join the European Union. The law would require media, NGOs and other nonprofits to register as “pursuing the interests of a foreign power” if they receive more than 20% of their funding from abroad. Its opponents cite its similarities to Russian legislation used to target Kremlin critics. The atmosphere was peaceful Sa ..read more

By JOSH FUNK AP Business Writer OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Shareholder proposals are usually uneventful at Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting, but Warren Buffett and the company are now facing a lawsuit over the way one presenter was treated last year.

The charges were later dropped, but Flaherty decided to sue. He said he had never ha ..read more

Gonzalo Zegarra (CNN) — Ganar la presidencia poco después de sobrevivir a la publicación de la cinta filtrada de “Access Hollywood” en 2016 es el momento en el que Donald Trump desafió la gravedad política. Se escuchó en una grabación a un político decir cosas realmente repugnantes sobre las mujeres y, aun así, los votantes lo elevaron al cargo más alto. La capacidad de Trump para sobrevivir a ese episodio vergonzoso resuena en su ascenso a la nominación presidencial republicana por tercera vez, a pesar de perder las elecciones de 2020 y luego intentar revertir los resultados. Es fácil olvidar ..read more

By NICK PERRY Associated Press MEREDITH, N.H. (AP) — Burt Rutan was alarmed to see the plane he had designed was so loaded with fuel that the wing tips started dragging along the ground as it taxied down the runway. He grabbed the radio to warn the pilot, his older brother Dick Rutan. But Dick never heard the message. Nine days and three minutes later, Dick, along with copilot Jeana Yeager, completed one of the greatest milestones in aviation history: the first round-the-world flight with no stops or refueling. A decorated Vietnam War pilot, Dick Rutan died Friday evening at a hospital in Coeu ..read more

By Rebecca Wright, Ivan Watson and Tom Booth, CNN Great Barrier Reef, Australia (CNN) — As the early-morning sun rises over the Great Barrier Reef, its light pierces the turquoise waters of a shallow lagoon, bringing more than a dozen turtles to life. These waters that surround Lady Elliot Island, off the eastern coast of Australia, provide some of the most spectacular snorkeling in the world — but they are also on the front line of the climate crisis, as one of the first places to suffer a mass coral bleaching event that has now spread across the world. The Great Barrier Reef just exper ..read more

By CLAIRE GALOFARO AP National Writer LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — When Lori Hennesy imagined her outfit for the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby, she wanted to create something deserving of that monumental anniversary, a celebration of Kentucky’s greatness and history. So she got a bucket of chicken, red and white striped with Colonel Sanders’ famous face on the front, filled it with roses and attached a plastic horse. She wore it on top of her head. “I wanted to have fun,” she said. Hennesy reckons that is what this place has always been about and how it came to host the longest continuously he ..read more
