Iran backtracks on plan to send flight recorders to Ukraine
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — The Iranian official leading the investigation into the accidental shootdown of a Ukrainian jetliner appeared to backtrack on plans to send the flight recorders abroad for analysis. The official was quoted Sunday by state-run media as saying no decision has been taken to send the black boxes out of the country. That comes a day after he was quoted as saying they would be sent to Ukraine. Iran may be hesitant to turn over the recorders for fear that more details from the crash will come to light. Iran's air defenses downed the plane shortly after it took off from Tehran, killing all 176 people on board.
TRUMP-INTELLIGENCE
Schiff accuses NSA, CIA of withholding documents on Ukraine
WASHINGTON (AP) — The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee is accusing U.S. intelligence agencies of withholding documents from Congress on Ukraine that could be significant to President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial. Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff is the lead House impeachment manager. He contends that the National Security Agency in particular is holding back documents and that “there are signs” the CIA might be as well.

Democrats are seeking to focus on new evidence about Trump's effort to pressure Ukraine to investigate his political rivals and are pushing the Senate to consider new documents and testimony.
TRUMP
Trump thanks farmers for backing him through China trade war
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — President Donald Trump took a victory lap as he addressed farmers about a pair of new U.S. trade agreements with its North American neighbors and with China. When Trump spoke to the American Farm Bureau Federation's convention last year, he urged farmers to have his back. They'd been suffering financially in the fallout from his China trade war. Trump's follow-up speech Sunday in Austin, Texas, gave him a chance to make the case that he kept two of his trade promises. Trump signed a preliminary trade deal with China last week. He's expected to sign the North American trade agreement soon. Trump told the convention: “We did it.”

AMERICA-CENSUS BEGINS
On the edge of America, census begins in a tiny Alaska town
TOKSOOK BAY, Alaska (AP) — The 2020 census in the U.S. will begin this week in a tiny community in Alaska. It has started in rural Alaska ever since the U.S. purchased the territory from Russia in 1867. This year, the first people will be counted in Toksook Bay, a city of 661 on the Bering Sea. Once the spring thaw hits, the town empties as many residents leave to hunt and fish. The mail service is spotty and the internet connectivity unreliable, which makes door-to-door surveying important. For those reasons, they have to start early here.
