WASHINGTON (AP) — As Indiana voters head to the polls, Hillary Clinton says she is turning her attention to the general election.

Clinton calls Trump's statements on issues like foreign policy, abortion and wages "scary."

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — There are hopes that more survivors will be found from the building that collapsed last week in Kenya, leaving 23 people dead and more than 90 others missing.

BOSTON (AP) — The driver of an amphibious sightseeing vehicle that collided with a scooter in Boston over the weekend, killing a woman, has a history of driving violations. State records show that he's been cited for speeding 10 times, was found at fault in a 2003 accident and was cited for several other infractions. Boston Duck Tours says it reviewed the driver's driving record in March and that there are "discrepancies" between information it received and information that was reported.
