This is AP News Minute.
Despite
the rebuke of Massachusetts Senator Elisabeth Warren for criticizing
colleague and attorney general-designate Jeff Sessions with the words of
Coretta Scott King from three decades ago, other Democrats quoted King
in speeches on Wednesday. Senators Bernie Sanders and Tom Udall both
read passages of the letter on the Senator floor.
Panamanian
authorities say a 23-year-old U.S. tourist has been found dead on a
Caribbean island. Officials said the body of Catherine Johannet of New
York was found on Sunday on a trail in a wooded area not far from a
beach on Bastimentos Island.
Somalia
has declared a new president on Wednesday. Former prime minister
Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo took the oath of office as the long-chaotic
country moved toward its first fully functioning central government in a
quarter-century.
And three Malayan tiger cubs are being cared for
in the Cincinnati Zoo's nursery. The zoo says nursery staffers step in
to help the cubs warm up and feed, as the first-time mother's maternal
instincts didn't kick in immediately.
Emily Roseman, Associated Press with AP News Minute.
