MADRID (AP) — It wasn’t long after Real Madrid lifted the Copa del Rey that club president Florentino Pérez interrupted an interview by Carlo Ancelotti to congratulate the winning coach.The president and coach embraced and chatted for a few moments on Saturday night before Ancelotti went back in front of the camera to finish the interview.“We are happy,” Ancelotti said. “Like all Madrid fans, we are all happy.”Ancelotti went full circle with Madrid by winning the Copa, nearly a decade after he did it for the first time in his first stint at the helm of the Spanish powerhouse.Pérez later made sure he showed his full backing of the coach and expressed the club’s desire to have Ancelotti continue his successful cycle with Madrid despite Brazil’s push to sign him for the national team.“I don’t even want to hear about this subject anymore,” Pérez said after Madrid’s 2-1 win over Osasuna in the Copa final in Seville. “He has a contract with us and we are happy.”Ancelotti’...Police: 7 dead, 6 injured after being struck by vehicle in border city of Brownsville, Texas

There is nothing like the promise of a chapter closing to draw people to the movie theater, especially when tied to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.This weekend, ” Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” which says goodbye to this iteration of the space misfits and its driving creative voice, director James Gunn, earned $114 million in ticket sales from 4,450 locations in North America, according to studio estimates Sunday.Internationally, where the film opened in 52 territories including China, “Vol. 3” earned $168 million, giving it a $282 million global debut.Domestically, it’s both an impressive sum for any movie and slightly less than what we’ve come to expect from a Marvel opening.Last year on the same weekend, “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” riding on the success of “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” raked in $187.4 million in its first three days in North America. And in November, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever...SUV driver plows into crowd at Texas bus stop near border; 7 dead

ST. PETERSBURG — Luis Severino’s sense of humor — and frustration — was on full display Sunday morning in the Yankees’ clubhouse at Tropicana Field.Severino, working his way back from a lat injury suffered at the end of spring training, will begin a rehab assignment this week with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. That assignment was originally supposed to begin with a start for Low-A Tampa this past week, but the Yankees had him throw three innings and 40 pitches in a simulated game at George M. Steinbrenner Field on Friday instead.That session was closed to reporters even though the Yankees were in Tampa Bay for a series with the Rays.“I think it was unnecessary not to in throw in Low-A,” Severino said, “but I do whatever they tell me to do.”Severino, who has expressed dissatisfaction with how the Yankees have handled his recoveries in the past, added “they tried to” when asked if the team explained why he needed the ...Serbia’s education minister resigns following mass shootings

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbia’s education minister submitted his resignation Sunday following two mass shootings, one of them at a primary school, left 17 people dead, while the European country’s government urged citizens to turn in all unregistered weapons or run the risk of a prison sentence. Education Minister Branko Ruzic is the first Serbian official to resign over the shootings despite widespread calls for more senior officials to step down in the wake of the back-to-back bloodshed. Ruzic cited the “catastrophic tragedy that has engulfed our country” in explaining his decision. Soon after the attack at the school in belgrade, Serbia’s capital on Wednesday, Ruzic was quick to blame “the cancerous, pernicious influence of the internet, video games, so-called Western values.” Such criticism is common in the Blakan nation, where pro-Russian and anti-Western sentiment have thrived in recent years.On Sunday, the Interior Ministry said individuals could hand over ...Out-of-control wildfires in northeastern B.C. expected to worsen due to strong winds

The two out-of-control wildfires in northeastern British Columbia that have already forced some residents leave their homes are expected to grow bigger in the next few days.The Peace River Regional District says in a statement that strong winds are “expected to contribute to the continued growth” of both the Boundary Lake and Red Creek wildfires, located about 1,300 kilometres northeast of Vancouver, for the next 24 to 48 hours.District board chair Leonard Hiebert says in a statement that the wildfires are “aggressive” in their spread since their discoveries on Friday, and the safety risk is significant enough that all residents of areas covered by evacuation orders should leave immediately.The regional district’s area that covers both Boundary Lake and Red Creek has declared a state of local emergency to allow it to respond quicker to the wildfires.The Boundary Lake wildfire covers 1,900 hectares near Goodlow, B.C., while the Red Creek blaze encompasse...Police investigating death of Gaspé man found trapped under farm tractor

OTTAWA — As India’s trade minister visits Ontario this week, corporate Canada is hoping both countries will commit to signing a trade agreement this year after more than a decade of talks.“It just seems to me like a no-brainer,” said Goldy Hyder, head of the Business Council of Canada.“We need to have the capacity to demonstrate that democracies can work for business, because when they work for business, they work for people.”Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal is to meet his Canadian counterpart, Mary Ng, at an event Monday in Ottawa, before plans to join a delegation of large Indian businesses Tuesday in Toronto.In an interview, Hyder said he’s hoping the two agree during the visit to push for some form a trade deal this year, since multiple negotiations have been underway since 2010 and electoral cycles could further prolong these talks.For decades, outsiders have seen India as a poorer country with a protected market that makes it hard for f...SUV driver hits crowd at Texas bus stop near border; 7 dead
