Seth Wenig - staff, ASSOCIATED PRESSNEW YORK (AP) — The decision by New York's highest court to overturn the rape conviction of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has reopened a painful chapter in America’s reckoning with sexual misconduct by powerful figures — an era that began in 2017 and helped launch the #MeToo movement.

Authorities say that anti-government rebels in the Central African Republic have carried out an attack in a village known for gold mining. At least four people were killed. A local government spokesperson told The Associated Press on Sunday that a rebel group aligned with the country's former president was responsible for the attack in Gaga. The village is roughly 125 miles or 200 kilometers from the capital Bangui. Chinese-run mines in Central African Republic have faced security challenges in the past years. Nine Chinese nationals were killed last year at another gold mine in Central African Republic.
Three people are dead and at least 12 were wounded in a shooting at party in south Alabama. Andre Reid with the Baldwin County Investigation Division told WALA-TV that the shooting happened Saturday night. He said about 1,000 people were attending a May Day party near Stockton when an altercation started and gunfire erupted. Reid said most of the victims were “younger people.” There was no immediate word on whether arrests had been made. The Associated Press left a message with the sheriff’s office Sunday. Stockton has a population of about 400. It is roughly 30 miles northeast of Mobile, Alabama.
Novak Djokovic put on one of his worst performances at one of his favorite tournaments as he was upset by 29th-seeded Alejandro Tabilo in the third round of the Italian Open. Djokovic started off with a double-fault and it didn’t get much better for the six-time Rome champion. The top-ranked Djokovic lost his first two service games and went on to lose the match 6-2, 6-3 in just 68 minutes and the boos rang out at the Foro Italico. It was Djokovic’s first match since accidentally getting knocked on the head by a water bottle while signing autographs after his opening win on Friday.
Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova has been sworn as the first female president of North Macedonia and has immediately reignited a diplomatic spat with neighboring Greece. At the ceremony in the country’s Parliament on Sunday, Siljanovska-Davkova referred to her country as “Macedonia,” rather than the constitutional name “North Macedonia” This prompted Greece’s ambassador to leave the inauguration ceremony. The Greek Foreign Ministry later issued a statement saying that the new president’s actions violated an agreement between the two nations and put in danger both bilateral relations and North Macedonia’s prospects of joining the European Union.
West Virginia Republican primary voters will have a hard time finding a major candidate on the ballot in any statewide race who openly acknowledges President Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 election. Embracing or skirting the line on election denialism has become an unspoken check-off among Republicans running for governor and Congress in one of states most loyal to Donald Trump. The slate of candidates in Tuesday's primary includes a convicted Jan. 6 insurrectionist as well as the sons of two GOP members of West Virginia's congressional delegation.
WNBA rookie Caitlin Clark, like NBA Hall of Famer Larry Bird was 45 years ago, is involuntarily the focus of discussions about race and her transition to professional basketball. She is – and from all indications is content with -- just being another basketball player trying to win a title. And though Clark hasn't said anything to fuel the Black-white narrative surrounding her, talks are about a double standard are being had. Still, the race-based debate over perceived slights to Black players or favoritism toward Clark is not going away as the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft prepares for her first regular-season game.

Norwich and Leeds drew 0-0 in the first-leg of their Championship play-off semifinal. There was nothing to separate the teams at Carrow Road and neither goalkeeper was overly troubled. The match will be decided at Elland Road on Thursday night when both teams will have to hope they can produce more creativity and cutting edge. Leeds finished the regular season in third place in England’s second tier on 90 points. That was 17 more than sixth-placed Norwich. Norwich had been down in 17th in November when many supporters wanted manager David Wagner sacked.
St. Pauli has returned to the Bundesliga after a 3-1 win over relegated Osnabrück in Germany’s second division. Oladapo Afolayan scored twice and set up Marcel Hartel for St. Pauli’s third goal as the home team moved top of the league with an unassailable six-point lead over third-place Fortuna Düsseldorf with one round remaining. The top two in the division are promoted. The third-place finisher – now certain to be Düsseldorf – faces a two-leg playoff against the team that finishes third from bottom in the Bundesliga — currently Union Berlin — to decide which will play in the top division next season. The playoffs are scheduled for May 23 and 27. Holstein Kiel, one point behind St. Pauli, secured its first ever promotion to the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Republican Gov. Phil Scott is running for reelection to a fifth two-year term in the largely blue state of Vermont. Scott announced his reelection bid on Saturday, saying there’s more work to do. He said during his four terms he and his team have worked to grow the economy, make Vermont more affordable and protect the most vulnerable. While progress has been made, he said there's more work to do and to accomplish that the Democrat-controlled legislature needs to be more balanced. Scott and the legislature have clashed over spending and taxes. The Republican governor was a frequent critic of former President Donald Trump and voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
Swiss Eurovision fans were getting ready to give a hero’s welcome to singer Nemo, who won the 68th Eurovision Song Contest with “The Code,” an operatic pop-rap ode to the singer’s journey toward embracing a nongender identity. National broadcaster SRF said the singer, was to land in Zurich on Sunday night. Switzerland’s contestant beat Croatian rocker Baby Lasagna to the title, winning the most points from a combination of national juries and viewers around the world. The 24-year-old Nemo is the first nonbinary winner of the contest that has long been embraced as a safe haven by the LGBTQ community. Nemo is also the first Swiss winner since 1988, when Canadian chanteuse Celine Dion competed under the Swiss flag.

A strong earthquake has shaken the border of Mexico and Guatemala driving frightened residents into the streets. The temblor struck just before 6 a.m. Sunday near the Mexican border town of Suchiate, where a river by the same name divides the two countries. There were no immediate reports of damage, but more mountainous, remote parts of the border are prone to landslides. The earthquake had a preliminary magnitude of 6.4, according to the U.S. Geological Survey and a depth of 47 miles (75 kilometers).
More working U.S. parents than ever are celebrating their first Mother’s Day with hard-fought access to paid time off to care for newborns. But the majority still must forego pay to care for new babies or other loved ones, even as efforts to expand paid parental and family leave gain traction. Bipartisan groups in the U.S. Senate and House have revived efforts to expand paid leave to more workers, with momentum building to introduce legislation this year. In the absence of a federal law, 13 states plus the District of Columbia have adopted paid family and medical leave laws.
A 6.4-magnitude earthquake shakes the Mexico-Guatemala border; no immediate report of damage.
BERNBEUREN, Germany (AP) — Despite the threat of dislocated fingers and strained muscles, over 150 Bavarian men came together Sunday to compete in Germany’s unique national championship of “Fingerhakeln,” or finger wrestling.
A police officer was shot and killed in Ohio after being called to a residential area for a disturbance. Citing a statement from the Euclid Police Department, multiple news outlets said that the officer was shot Saturday night after being ambushed by a suspect.

Michael Cohen is the most central witness for prosecutors in former President Donald Trump's hush money trial. But Trump’s fixer-turned-foe is also as challenging a star witness as they come. He's expected to take the stand on Monday and offer jurors an insider’s view of the dealings at the heart of the case. The now-disbarred lawyer has a long history with Trump and has become a relentless Trump critic. There are question's about Cohen's credibility. He's pleaded guilty to lying to Congress and a bank, but recently claimed under oath that he wasn’t truthful even in admitting to some of those falsehoods. Prosecutors says he's just one piece of their case against Trump.
Thousands more civilians have fled Russia’s renewed ground offensive in Ukraine’s northeast that has targeted towns and villages with a barrage of artillery and mortar fire. The intense battles have forced at least one Ukrainian unit to withdraw in the Kharkiv region, capitulating more land to Russian forces across less defended settlements along the Russian border. Meanwhile, a 10-story apartment block collapsed in the Russian city of Belgorod, near the border, with several deaths and injuries reported. Russian authorities said the building collapsed following Ukrainian shelling. Ukraine has not commented on the incident.
An apartment block has partially collapsed in the Russian border city of Belgorod. Officials on Sunday blamed Ukrainian shelling and said there were deaths. Online footage showed rescuers searching for survivors among the remnants of the building’s stairwell, then fleeing the scene as part of the roof crashed to the ground. In a statement, Russia’s Investigative Committee, the country's top law enforcement agency, said that the 10-story block had been hit by Ukrainian shelling. Ukrainian officials never acknowledge responsibility for attacks on Russian territory or the Crimean Peninsula.
DETROIT — Not all of the quintessential characteristics of a Michigan summer are as pleasant as campfires, cookouts and baseball games. There are the mosquitoes, too.
A fourth Indian national living in Canada has been charged in the slaying of a Sikh separatist leader last June that became the center of a diplomatic spat with India. British Columbia’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team say that 22-year-old Amandeep Singh was already in the custody of Peel Regional Police in Ontario for unrelated firearms charges. Earlier this month, police arrested three Indian nationals in Edmonton and charged them with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in the death of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. He was gunned down in the parking lot of the Surrey, British Columbia, Sikh temple where he was president.
Victims of the devastating floods in northern Afghanistan are burying the dead and looking for the loved ones still missing. The U.N. food agency estimates that unusually heavy seasonal rains have left more than 300 people dead and over 1,000 houses destroyed, most of them in the northern province of Baghlan, which bore the brunt of the deluges Friday. Aid group Save the Children said about 600,000 people, half of them children, live in the five districts in Baghlan that have been severely impacted by the floods. The group said it sent a “clinic on wheels” with mobile health and child protection teams to support children and their families.
Real Madrid has celebrated its Spanish league title with fans. The squad has met with government officials and paraded through the streets of the capital. Madrid clinched its 36th league title last weekend but couldn’t celebrate the triumph right away because it still had to play the second leg of the semifinals of the Champions League. Madrid rallied with two late goals by striker Joselu to defeat Bayern Munich 2-1 on Wednesday at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. It advanced 3-2 on aggregate to the final against Borussia Dortmund on June 1 in London.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Following his first practice with the Falcons, this much can be confirmed about Michael Penix Jr.
PHILADELPHIA — Complaining that Sixers coach Nick Nurse was eliminated in the first round is like complaining that Gordon Ramsay’s entrée tasted bad when all he had to use was last week’s leftovers.
NEW YORK — Move over John Fisher, baseball has a new worst owner.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — This idea screams Rays. It’s understated. Cutting edge. Mostly, though, it’s all different shades of clever.
PHILADELPHIA — James and Will Shipley are brothers, and brothers, especially the competitive types, sometimes settle things with a little physicality.
MIAMI — As the Miami Heat face the possibilities of landing in the most punitive tier of the NBA’s new collective-bargaining agreement, there could have been an easy out for almost all of what now stand as impending concerns:
MINNEAPOLIS — Looking for a word to describe what she sees when looking at the WNBA, Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve chose "satisfaction."
LOS ANGELES — For the first time in seven years, the city of Long Beach saw local homelessness decline year over year — but officials in next-door Orange County were disappointed to learn their unhoused population had continued to grow.
