The members of Parliament also have moved to block Johnson's plan to leave the European Union next month without a divorce deal.

Johnson says new elections are the only way out of Britain's Brexit impasse.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A new government report says children who were separated from their families at the southern U.S. border last year felt anger and confusion as well as fear or guilt.

Many of the children had already been traumatized in their home countries or by their journey.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Top Democratic presidential contenders talked about cutting climate-damaging emissions during a series of town halls that allowed the candidates to distinguish themselves on a topic important to their party's liberal base. The lengthy climate conversations promised to hand Republicans ammunition for next year's election fight by emphasizing the cost of the plans. But the Democrats didn't shrink from their pledges to reshape the U.S. economy and help avert global warming's devastating effects.
