Seth MacFarlane may have found fame and fortune through the multiple hit shows he’s created for Fox, but this weekend he said on Twitter that he’s “embarassed” to work for the company following the latest comments from Fox News pundit Tucker Carlson. MacFarlane responded to a tweet from CNN’s Brian Stelter, who noted that this past week, Carlson told viewers on his show to not trust rival networks. “If you’re looking to understand what’s actually happening in this country, always assume the opposite...

JERUSALEM — The Israeli military said Sunday has it carried out four air strikes targeting Palestinians launching burning kites and balloons into southern Israel. No one was injured in the strikes, but they marked an escalation in Israel’s response to a phenomenon that has wreaked havoc on fields and nature reserves in southern Israel in recent weeks. Burning kites set fields ablaze in more than a dozen locations on a hot, windy, dry Saturday. The army said two of... Читать дальше...

ATHENS, Greece — Macedonia signed a landmark agreement Sunday to change its name to North Macedonia, sealing a deal with Greece that would, if ratified, resolve a decades-old dispute and pave the way for the enlargement of the European Union and NATO. Hailing a “patriotic and mutually beneficial agreement for both peoples,” Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras of Greece said it was important to see the accord through. The pact must still pass a referendum in Macedonia and ratification in the parliaments of both countries.

MESA, Ariz. (AP) — Police in a Phoenix suburb say a self-driving Waymo vehicle was among five cars involved in a collision, but no serious injuries were reported. The driver of the Waymo vehicle told Mesa police that the car was not in autonomous mode at the time of Saturday night's crash.

Waymo, whose parent company is Google, did not immediately return a message seeking comment Sunday. Читать дальше...

György Ligeti’s Violin Concerto, which he completed in 1993 after several revisions, is a work of eclecticism and wonder, full of beauty and surprises. It deserves a soloist in tune with its playful fearlessness, and Patricia Kopatchinskaja — who gave a magnificent account of the work in Berkeley’s Zellerbach Hall on Saturday, June 16 — is just that artist. Kopatchinskaja’s performance was the capstone of a three-day Bay Area visit as part of Ojai at Berkeley, Cal Performances’ annual... Читать дальше...

BERLIN — Germany’s interior minister insisted that his party has no intention of bringing down Chancellor Angela Merkel and her government, but there was little sign Sunday of a compromise in a bitter standoff over immigration. Interior Minister Horst Seehofer is calling for Germany to turn back at its border migrants who have registered as asylum-seekers in other European countries. Merkel opposes unilateral action, arguing it would weaken the 28-nation European Union. The issue has escalated into a high-stakes power struggle.

San Francisco’s famed gay pride celebrations don’t officially start until next weekend (concluding with the big Pride party and parade downtown Sunday, June 24). But in the thick of the sold-out crowd at the Masonic on Saturday, June 16, all that seemed like a formality. As Janelle Monáe stormed the stage in a black-and-white checkered bodysuit and red boots, then launched into “Crazy, Classic, Life,” the bedazzled, glitter-covered fans in the crowd grabbed for each other...

The Trump administration's move to separate immigrant parents from their children on the U.S.-Mexico border has grabbed attention around the world, drawn scorn from human-rights organizations and overtaken the immigration debate in Congress. It's also a situation that has been brewing since the week President Donald Trump took office, when he issued his first order signaling a tougher approach to asylum-seekers. Since then, the administration has been steadily eroding protections for immigrant children and families.

MADRID — More than 600 migrants disembarked from three ships Sunday in the port of Valencia, more than a week after they had been rescued at sea only to be turned away by Italy and Malta.

Posey has had back and hip issues, but manager Bruce Bochy would not cite any specific ailment, saying generally the catcher is beat up. "He needs a break," Bochy said. "We've been grinding him pretty hard. Sometimes one day off is not enough. He's feeling the effects of that." By resting Posey on Friday night and Sunday, Bochy showed he has no interest in making Posey an iron man... Читать дальше...

HOUSTON (AP) — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has triumphed over late night TV host Jimmy Kimmel in their much-hyped charity basketball game that Kimmel dubbed the Blobfish Basketball Classic.

The Houston Chronicle described the matchup as "a slow-motion car-crash of half-court basketball." Speaking for both men... Читать дальше...

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Lawmakers are poised to resurrect legislation that would have helped New Mexico's largest electric utility recoup some of its costs from closing a coal-fired power plant in the northwestern corner of the state and would have provided economic development money for the surrounding community. The Santa Fe New Mexican reports many lawmakers said last week they are in talks with Public Service Company of New Mexico representatives and some legislative leaders about the bill — or...
