In his speech marking Canada’s 144th birthday, the prince talked of his and Kate’s family ties to Canada – in French and English, as he had a day earlier.

(AP) BAGHDAD – Bombs pounded six Iraqi cities and towns Tuesday, killing at least 40 people and raising suspicion that security forces might be assisting terrorists in launching attacks on Shiite Muslims. The onslaught came just ahead of a religious pilgrimage that could attract even more violence. A senior Iraqi intelligence official said checkpoint guards may have been bribed to help al-Qaeda-linked Sunni insurgents plant bombs at Shiite marketplaces. The attacks injected new fear into Iraqis, resigned to worsening violence six months after the last American troops left the country. “We want to live a normal life, but with the current spike in violence and victims, I am personally thinking of moving,” said Hassan al-Saadi, 40, a Shiite sports equipment store owner in Baghdad who is considering pulling his four children from school for their safety. “I see the future as worse,” al-Saadi said. A spike in violence over the last month is blamed partially on Iraq’s paralyzing political crisis, which pits Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s Shiite-led government against rival Shiite politicians, Sunni Muslims and ethnic Kurds who complain they’ve been sidelined. Also, the crisis in neighboring Syria may have allowed weapons intended for the opposition to President Bashar Assad to be siphoned off to Iraqi insurgents.

Chapman, star of A&E’s hit reality series “Dog the Bounty Hunter,” issued a statement apologizing for the comments after The National Enquirer posted a clip of the conversation in which he uses the N-word in reference to his son’s girlfriend. “We take this matter very seriously,” A&E spokesman Michael Feeney said in a statement Thursday. “Pending an investigation, we have suspended production on the series. When the inquiry is concluded, we will take appropriate action.” The recording was first posted online by the Enquirer. It was unclear who recorded the conversation or how the tabloid obtained the 1½-minute clip in which Chapman uses the N-word six times. A woman at the Enquirer said no one would be available to comment after hours. In the conversation, Chapman urges his son to break up with his girlfriend. He also expresses concern about the girlfriend going public about the TV star’s use of the N-word. In a statement, the 54-year-old Chapman said he has “utmost respect and aloha for black people who have suffered so much due to racial discrimination and acts of hatred. “I did not mean to add yet another slap in the face to an entire race of people who have brought so many gifts to this world,” he said. “I am ashamed of myself and I pledge to do whatever I can to repair this damage I have...

(AP) ATHENS, Greece – Greece’s new three-party coalition government won a vote of confidence in parliament early Monday, ending a period of uncertainty that led to two elections in less than two months, though the country has a long way to go to emerge from a deep recession and 카지노사이트 pay down its huge debt. There were no surprises in the vote. All 179 deputies of the three parties supporting the government — conservative New Democracy, the socialist PASOK and the moderate leftist Democratic Left — voted in favor. Voting against were the 121 deputies of the Radical Left Coalition (Syriza), the nationalist right Independent Greeks, the extreme right Golden Dawn and the Communist Party. In his concluding speech just before the vote, Prime Minister Antonis Samaras said that, despite their diverse political backgrounds, the three coalition partners have a unity of purpose — to keep the country in the Eurozone and out of its deepest and longest recession, now in its fifth year. In the third quarter, the country’s GDP had its sharpest drop yet, declining 9.1 percent compared to the same period in 2011. Greece’s battered economy is forecast to shrink 6.7 percent for the whole year, far above earlier official forecasts of a 4.5 percent shrinkage. “Us three, we have admitted our past mistakes and we are now embarked in a common cause,” Samaras said, addressing...
