Prince Andrew says the death of Prince Philip has left a “huge void” in Queen Elizabeth II’s life. Andrew and other members of the royal family attended church on Sunday at the Royal Chapel of All Saints two days after the 99-year-old Philip died at Windsor Castle. The youngest of Philip and Elizabeth's four children, Prince Edward, called his father's death a “dreadful shock” but said the queen was “bearing up.” Well-wishers continued to leave floral tributes outside the gates of royal residences in memory of the monarch’s husband. Edward said the “extraordinary” tributes meant a lot to the royal family, while Andrew said Philip's death was almost like losing “the grandfather of the nation.”

WEIMAR, Germany (AP) — Germany’s president on Sunday marked the 76th anniversary of the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp by reminding his compatriots of the inconceivable atrocities the Nazis committed there during the Third Reich. “Communists and democrats, homosexuals…

It’s been a long political union between corporate America and the Republican Party. But that bond is fraying. For decades the GOP and business have shared common ground, especially with their mutual belief in low taxes and the need to repeal regulations. But the relationship has come under increasing pressure as companies take cultural stands and other interests diverge. Fissures have opened over the GOP’s embrace of conspiracy theories and climate change denialism, as well as its rejection of the 2020 election outcome. And Republicans are furious about corporate criticism of the Republican-backed law in Georgia restricting voting rights.

Churches in Britain have held services to remember Prince Philip as people of many religions reflected on a man whose gruff exterior hid a personal faith and deep curiosity about others’ beliefs. Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby led a service of remembrance at Canterbury Cathedral in southeast England on Sunday for the husband of Queen Elizabeth II, who died Friday at age 99. Welby led prayers for Philip and contemplated “a very long life, remarkably led.” Born into the Greek royal family, Philip was baptized in the Greek Orthodox Church. He became an Anglican when he married Elizabeth. A prominent British Sikh leader, said Philip “contributed to the understanding and harmony between differing faith communities.”

In a rare admission of the weakness of Chinese coronavirus vaccines, the country’s top disease control official says their effectiveness is low and the government is considering mixing them to give them a boost. The director of the China Centers for Disease Control says Chinese vaccines don’t have very high protection rates. He spoke Saturday at a conference in the southwestern city of Chengdu. Beijing has distributed hundreds of millions of doses in other countries while also trying to promote doubt about the effectiveness of Western vaccines. The official says the government is formally considering whether to mix different vaccines.

COVID-19 has wrought division in the European Union. Lofty hopes that the crisis would encourage a new and tighter bloc to face a common challenge have given way to the reality of division: The pandemic has set member nation against member nation, and many capitals against the EU itself, as symbolized by the disjointed, virtual meetings leaders now hold. Some of it is no different than fateful events that happened in other nations around the globe too. The EU and its countries, of course, fell victim to some events beyond their control, as other nations around the globe did. But some of the crisis was plainly self-inflicted. 

A pair of three-time Cy Young Award winners square off when Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers face Max Scherzer and the Nationals in a marquee matchup between the past two World Series champions. Los Angeles is looking for a three-game sweep of its first home series this season, and Dodgers starters are 5-0 in their last seven outings. Also, the Braves go for their fifth straight victory and a series sweep of NL East rival Philadelphia. Plus, AL MVP José Abreu and the White Sox try to win their 18th consecutive game when facing a left-handed starter. That would tie the major league record. Chicago gets its chance against Mike Minor and the Royals.

Andre Drummond had 20 points and 11 rebounds, Dennis Schroder scored 19 points before he and Kyrie Irving were ejected in the third quarter and the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Brooklyn Nets 126-101. A nationally televised matchup already missing plenty of star power lost even more when Irving started jawing with Schroder and neither player stopped quickly enough for the officials. The Lakers had led most of the way and were ahead 66-62 when Irving fouled Schroder with 9:41 left in the third. Los Angeles blew it open soon after the ejections with a 15-2 burst to open an 88-71 lead.

BEIJING (AP) — Rescuers on Sunday were trying to reach 21 coal miners who were trapped by an underground flood in China's northwest, a state news agency reported. The mine in Hutubi County in the Xinjiang region flooded at about…

Former baseball star Alex Rodriguez and e-commerce mogul Marc Lore have signed a letter of intent to buy the Timberwolves and keep the NBA franchise in Minnesota. Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor confirmed the agreement, which includes the WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx. The two sides have a 30-day window for negotiations to be finalized. Taylor plans to keep control of the club for the next two years and bring on Rodriguez and Lore as partners until a handover in 2023. The Athletic first reported the sale, which would be worth $1.5 billion.

Rain forced the postponement of the NASCAR Cup Series race at Martinsville Speedway after just 42 laps Saturday night, setting up a doubleheader Sunday. The day will start at noon with the completion of an Xfinity Series race that was suspended after 91 laps Friday night. That race has 159 laps to complete, and the Cup completion will begin at 4 p.m. in conditions that weather forecasts suggest will be sunny and in the mid-70s. Denny Hamlin led all but four of the 42 laps before a light drizzle intensified.

Will Zalatoris was ranked 2,006th in the world just two years and Saturday he was in contention at the Masters. Some guys come by their cool honestly; he came by his playing against some of the best junior competition golf has to offer. But unlike Jordan Spieth or Scottie Scheffler, Zalatoris had to get into tournaments by playing Monday qualifiers on the Korn Ferry Tour, and win often enough to earn a spot against the best. He starts the final round at Augusta in second, four shots behind leader Hideki Matsuyama, but that kind of pressure is nothing new.

A sixth person has died after a shooting earlier this week by a former NFL player who also killed four members of a South Carolina family. York County Coroner Sabrina Gast said Saturday that 38-year-old air conditioning technician Robert Shook had died from injuries in the Wednesday shooting while he was working at the home. Authorities say that Phillip Adams killed Rock Hill physician Robert Lesslie, his wife, two grandchildren and Shook and a fellow air conditioning technician working at the Lesslie home. Adams later shot himself to death.

Xander Schauffele is in what has become familiar territory. He’s close to the top of the leaderboard in a major championship. He’s hoping Sunday isn’t more of the same when it comes to finishes. Schauffele shot a 4-under 68 on Saturday to get to 7 under through three rounds of the Masters, leaving him four shots back of Hideki Matsuyama going into the final round. He’s had five top-five finishes in majors, including a tie for second -- one shot behind winner Tiger Woods — at Augusta National in 2019. And now comes another chance for a major breakthrough.

The Twins have lost three times this season -- all of them in 10th inning with the automatic runner on second base. Seattle topped the Twins 4-3 in the 10th on Saturday, helped when Minnesota reliever Taylor Rogers couldn’t get a clean grip on a bunt. Twins manager Rocco Baldelli says small ball is making a big difference. Also, AL MVP José Abreu and the White Sox will try to win their 18th straight game facing a left-handed starter. That would tie the major league record set by Atlanta from 2004-05. The White Sox get their chance when they host lefty Mike Minor and the Royals.

The third round of the Masters is over, and Hideki Matsuyama has a four-shot lead over Xander Schauffele, Marc Leishman, Justin Rose and Will Zalatoris. Matsuyama becomes the first Japanese player in Masters history to lead after any round. Matsuyama shot a 7-under 65 on Saturday to move to 11 under for the week.
