MAO COUNTY, China (AP) — Crews searching through the rubble left by a landslide in southwestern China have found 15 bodies with more than 100 more people still missing. The official Xinhua news agency says about 3,000 rescuers are using detection devices and dogs to look for signs of life in a mountainous area that once held 62 homes and a hotel. A rescuer was quoted as saying they won't give up as long as there is a slim of chance of finding survivors. Only three members of a family have been found alive Saturday.

COLORADO SPRING, Colo. (AP) — Chief lieutenants in the Koch brothers' political network are condemning the Senate Republican health care bill as insufficiently conservative. The leader for the Koch network's political arm, Tim Phillips, says the Senate bill "needs to get better." He calls the Senate's plans for Medicaid "a slight nip and tuck" over President Barack Obama's health care law.

LONDON (AP) — Britain's government now says cladding samples from 34 high-rise apartment towers across the country have failed fire safety tests. Earlier Saturday, officials had put the figure of affected tower blocks at 27, saying they are located in cities from London to Manchester and Portsmouth. Flammable cladding was blamed for helping the Grenfell Tower fire spread so rapidly throughout the 24-story building, killing at least 79 people.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah woman injured in a high-profile London attack on Westminster Bridge says she was looking at her camera and didn't see the sport utility vehicle coming before it plowed into a crowd of pedestrians, killing her husband. Melissa Cochran said at a Utah concert held in his honor Saturday she and Kurt Cochran had been grabbing each other's hands, kissing and saying how much fun they were having just before the March 22 attack.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Young protesters broke down a metal fence guarding an air base in Caracas before being repelled by security forces firing tear gas in another day of anti-government protests in Venezuela's capital. Saturday's clashes took place after a mass demonstration next to La Carlota base where a 22-year-old protester was killed this week when a national guardsman shot him in the chest at close range with rubber bullets.
