A spokeswoman for the grocery chain congratulated the winner for “waking up to life-changing news this morning.” A winner who chooses the lump sum option would get $557 million after taxes. The win came just two days after a ticket sold in Maryland won the $731.1 million Powerball jackpot.  Read more

A Wisconsin judge has modified bail conditions for an 18-year-old Illinois teen charged with fatally shooting two people during a protest in southeastern Wisconsin. Kyle Rittenhouse was 17 at the time of the Aug. 25 shooting in Kenosha. He faces multiple counts and is free on $2 million bail. A judge ruled Friday that Rittenhouse can't associate with known white supremacists. He is also barred from possessing and consuming alcohol and from having firearms. Prosecutors made the request after Rittenhouse was seen at a Wisconsin bar. Prosecutors say he and others displayed a hand gesture known to be used by white supremacists.  Read more

A group that counts political detentions says Russian police have arrested more than 3,000 protesters who took to the streets across the country in temperatures as low as minus-50 C (minus-58 F) to demand the release of Alexei Navalny, the Kremlin's most prominent foe. Demonstrations demanding his release were reported in at least 90 cities throughout the country. An estimated 15,000 demonstrators gathered in central Moscow, where clashes with police broke out and demonstrators were roughly dragged off by helmeted riot officers. Navalny was arrested on Jan. 17 when he returned to Moscow from Germany, where he recovered from a severe nerve-agent poisoning that he blames on the Kremlin. Authorities say his stay in Germany violated terms of a suspended sentence.  Read more

Larry King seemed like a throwback to a different age in media and show biz even during the height of his career hosting a nightly talk show on CNN. His nightly conversations with newsmakers, politicians and celebrities on “Larry King Live” seem even more foreign to cable TV today. King, who died Saturday at age 87, was easy to poke fun at, particularly later in his career, but he tried to give viewers a different look at famous faces than they were used to seeing on television. King left CNN in 2010, shortly after the network feted him for his 25 years on the air. Read more

Mexico’s president says that President Joe Biden has told him the U.S. would send $4 billion to help development in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala. Hardships in those nations have spawned tides of migration through Mexico toward the United States. Biden made his initial calls to foreign leaders on Friday, with Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexico's Andrés Manuel López Obrador first on the list. The Canadian prime minister this week publicly expressed disappointment over Biden’s decision to issue an executive order halting construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline.  Read more

Oklahoma also defeated then-No. 9 West Virginia on Jan. 2. Kansas entered the game coming off losses at Oklahoma State and No. 2 Baylor.

Jalen Wilson added 13 points for Kansas. Read more

Larry King has died at age 87 after a half-century in broadcasting that included interviews with presidents, movie stars and ordinary Joes. His production company tweeted that he died Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. No cause of death was given, but a spokesperson said this month he had been hospitalized with COVID-19. The Brooklyn-born King was a fixture on CNN from 1985 through 2010. He won two Peabody Awards but made no claims to being an intellectual. He preferred to ask presidents what they liked about their jobs rather than their foreign policy. He welcomed everyone from the Dalai Lama to Elizabeth Taylor. Read more

Celebrities and interview subjects, from Bill Clinton to Oprah Winfrey, are mourning the death of Larry King. His broadcast interviews with world leaders, movie stars and ordinary Joes helped define American conversation for a half-century. King died Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles at age 87. On social media, King was remembered by a number of figures and fans, including singers Barbra Streisand and Bette Midler, entertainer 50 Cent and actors Reese Witherspoon, George Takei and Albert Brooks.

Right-wing extremism has previously mostly played out in isolated pockets of America or in smaller cities. In contrast, the deadly attack by rioters on the U.S. Capitol targeted the very heart of government. It brought together members of disparate groups, creating the opportunity for extremists to establish links with each other. Experts say that potentially sets the stage for more violent actions. But Donald Trump is no longer president and has faded as a presence for extremists to coalesce around. And some are angry that Trump disassociated himself from the Capitol attack he stoked.

When Joe Biden took the oath of office as the 46th president, he became not only the oldest newly inaugurated U.S. chief executive in history but also the oldest sitting president ever. Biden was born Nov. 20, 1942, in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He was 78 years, two months and one day old when he was sworn in on Wednesday. That’s 78 days older than President Ronald Reagan was when he left office in 1989. The country Biden now leads has changed in so many ways over his lifetime, and his presidency is certain to reflect that. Read more

Inside the White House, President Joe Biden has presided over a focused launch of his administration. He's used his first days in office to sharply break with Donald Trump. Biden has signed executive orders meant as a display of action to address the historic challenges he inherited. But outside the White House gates, there are signs everywhere that the coronavirus and economic crises loom as deep and intractable as ever. On Capitol Hill, Republicans are signaling their objections to many of his plans. Biden knows that what a president can do on his own is limited, so he's calling for Congress to act while he's being candid with Americans that dark days are ahead. Read more

Amid a national French reckoning with sexual abuse of children by family members, President Emmanuel Macron has told victims: “We believe you. You will never again be alone.” The French government pledged on Thursday to toughen laws on the rape of children after a massive online movement saw hundreds of victims share accounts about sexual abuse within their families. In a video message Saturday, Macron promised screening and prevention meetings with every child, both in elementary school and middle school. He also said the state health care system would finance psychological treatment for children who are victims of sexual violence. The outpouring of testimonies in France comes in the wake of child sex abuse accusations involving a prominent French political expert.  Read more

Tunisia is extending its virus curfew and banning demonstrations for three weeks as it tries to stem a rapid rise in infections. The government is also trying to calm tensions after a week of protests and rioting by young people angry over poverty and lack of jobs. New clashes between protesters and police broke out Saturday hours after the new virus restrictions were announced. Tunisia reported 103 virus-related deaths in a single day Thursday in a country of 11 million people, its highest figure to date and among the highest rates in Africa.  Read more

Two teams so absent from championship history for so long until recently face off for the AFC championship. The Kansas City Chiefs won their first NFL title since 1970 when they beat San Francisco in last year’s Super Bowl. When they host Buffalo, the Chiefs will take on a franchise that went from the 2000-2016 seasons without even getting to the playoffs. What we get Sunday is a matchup of dynamic offenses and overlooked defenses and the top two teams in the conference.  Read more

New President Joe Biden unveiled a bold immigration plan just days ago. And Democrats are already acknowledging that if anything emerges, it will likely be more modest. Immigration is so politically flammable that it’s resisted major congressional action since the 1980s, and this time seems no different. Biden wants to make citizenship available for the estimated 11 million immigrants in the U.S. illegally and ease other restrictions. But even supporters like No. 2 Senate Democratic leader Dick Durbin of Illinois say the party may have to settle for less, with helping young Dreamer immigrants become citizens the cornerstone of the effort.
