The Associated Press undefined WASHINGTON (AP) — WHAT ARE THE RULES AROUND POLL WATCHING ON ELECTION DAY IN THE UNITED STATES? President Donald Trump has been urging his supporters to go the polls and 'watch very carefully,' raising concerns about possible voter intimidation. Monitoring the votes at polling places is allowed in most states, but rules vary and it's not a free-for-all. States have established rules, in part, to avoid any hint that observers will harass or intimidate voters. There is a long history of whites intimidating and preventing Blacks from voting in the South. And the Republican Party had […]

By The Associated Press undefined Do I need to wear a mask if I'm 6 feet away from others? Health experts recommend wearing masks in public and keeping your distance from others in most cases, but whether you should do both could depend on the situation. 'There's no invisible force field at 6 feet,' said Saskia Popescu, an infectious disease expert at George Mason University. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says spread of the virus beyond 6 feet is uncommon but more likely in poorly ventilated spaces. Some health experts say the virus can spread more easily […]

By MONIKA SCISLOWSKA Associated Press WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland's top court ruled Thursday that a law allowing abortion of fetuses with congenital defects is unconstitutional, shutting a major loophole in the predominantly Catholic country's abortion laws that are among the strictest in Europe. Two judges in the 13-member Constitutional Court did not back the majority ruling. Activists deplored the decision, and the Council of Europe's human rights commissioner wrote on Twitter that it was a 'sad day for women's rights.' The decision came in response to a motion from right-wing lawmakers who argued that terminating a pregnancy due to […]

By JENNIFER PELTZ Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — After entire nations were shut down during the first surge of the coronavirus earlier this year, some countries and U.S. states are trying more targeted measures as cases rise again around the world, especially in Europe and the Americas. New York's new round of virus shutdowns zeroes in on individual neighborhoods, closing schools and businesses in hot spots measuring just a couple of square miles. Spanish officials limited travel to and from some parts of Madrid before restrictions were widened throughout the capital and some suburbs. Italian authorities have sometimes quarantined […]

By KATHLEEN RONAYNE and ELLEN KNICKMEYER Associated Press Democrat Joe Biden's remark that he would 'transition' away from oil in the U.S. in favor of renewable energy drew quick attention Thursday night from President Donald Trump, who saw it as a boon to his election chances in key states. 'I would transition away from the oil industry, yes,' Biden said in the presidential debate's closing minutes under peppering from Trump. 'The oil industry pollutes, significantly. It has to be replaced by renewable energy over time.' The Biden campaign's climate plan calls for the U.S. to have net-zero greenhouse gas emissions […]

By GRANT SCHULTE Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska will never be mistaken for a swing state given that it hasn't supported a Democratic presidential candidate since 1964, but if the race is close this fall, the state could have a key role in choosing the next president. It's all thanks to a law approved decades ago that was intended to attract presidential candidates to a state they usually ignore because it's so reliably conservative. While the statewide vote will clearly go to President Donald Trump, former Vice President Joe Biden has a good chance of winning in the […]

By KEN SWEET AP Business Writer CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — More Americans than ever obtained a basic bank account in 2019, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said Monday. But data was gathered before the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic and start of this historic recession. But the agency noted that the loss of jobs and incomes due to the pandemic in 2020 likely reversed these positive trends. The FDIC study looks at the unbanked — Americans who do not have a basic checking or savings account — and the reasons why these individuals are outside the traditional bank system. While […]

By NASSER KARIMI Associated Press TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — A decade-long U.N. arms embargo on Iran that barred it from purchasing foreign weapons like tanks and fighter jets expired Sunday as planned under its nuclear deal with world powers, despite objections from the United States. While insisting it planned no 'buying spree,' Iran in theory can purchase weapons to upgrade military armament dating back to before its 1979 Islamic Revolution and sell its own locally produced gear abroad. In practice, however, Iran's economy remains crippled by broad-reaching U.S. sanctions, and other nations may avoid arms deals with Tehran for fear […]
