Evening Edition
The day's most important stories
 
 
SPECIAL REPORT
After Trump solicits advice, businesses target EPA, Labor Dept. regulations
The president invited American manufacturers to recommend ways the government could cut regulations and make it easier for companies to get their projects approved. Industry leaders responded with scores of suggestions to remove more than 150 regulations that paint the clearest picture yet of the dramatic series of steps that Trump officials are likely to take in overhauling federal policies.
Turkey leader declares victory in vote to expand his powers, but results are contested
If the referendum vote stands, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan would gain vast new authority as the unrivaled head of state. Opposition parties quickly demanded recounts of hundreds of thousands of ballots.
 
As tensions with North Korea flare, Trump spends a quiet weekend at Mar-a-Lago
The president was uncharacteristically quiet after North Korea's latest failed missile launch, leaving it to his team of deputies, as well as Vice President Pence to articulate the administration's policy toward the totalitarian regime.
 
Aide: Pence will discuss 'belligerency of North Korea' at every stop of Asia tour
The vice president, beginning a four-nation visit, landed in Seoul hours after North Korea's latest failed ballistic missile launch. A White House foreign policy adviser traveling with Pence said the United States did not need to take action "to reinforce their failure."

The things they saved, 10 years after the Virginia Tech shooting
In the decade that has passed since 32 people were fatally shot at Virginia Tech, much has changed for those who were on campus that day or were pulled there by the bloodshed. But the emotional keepsakes from that April morning remain to serve as reminders of sorrow, generosity and heroism.
 
People across the U.S. demanded to see Trump's tax returns. A day later, he wants to know why.
"I did what was an almost an impossible thing to do for a Republican — easily won the Electoral College! Now Tax Returns are brought up again?" the president tweeted. He also called for someone to "look into" the rally organizers: "The election is over!"
 
A complete guide to every reference in Melissa McCarthy's epic Sean Spicer sketch on SNL
The press secretary had a tough week after his "Hitler" comments. "Saturday Night Live" ran with it, all the way back to Exodus.
 
Days after the U.S. dropped a massive bomb on ISIS forces in Afghanistan, the national security adviser arrives for talks
H.R. McMaster's visit to Kabul, the first by a Trump administration official, is viewed as a possible sign the administration is heading for a policy change, including potentially reversing former president Barack Obama's pledge to remove all troops from Afghanistan.

Reports about torture of gays in Chechnya produce no investigation — only threats against journalists
Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov on Sunday said the existence of gay men in the Russian republic was "invented by opposition media" and called on the newspaper that reported the abuse and killings to recant its article.
 
Analysis
How the ‘Fast and the Furious’ franchise became one of the few things the world could agree on
The eighth movie, "The Fate of the Furious," beat out 2015's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" to become the reigning global opening-weekend champ with an estimated $532.5 million in worldwide ticket sales this weekend.
 
Perspective
Great local reporting stands between you and wrongdoing. And it needs saving.
A small West Virginia paper's powerful work on opioids won a Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting, but shrinking newsroom staffs nationwide mean there are increasingly fewer reporters in the vital watchdog role.
 
After dragging incident, United will no longer allow crew members to displace passengers on a plane
Under a new policy, meant to avoid future public relations disasters such as the one involving a 69-year-old doctor forcibly removed from an aircraft, the airline's crews are required to check in at least an hour before a flight leaves.
 
Authorities say they have found the killer of Google’s Vanessa Marcotte
Authorities say DNA evidence led to the arrest of 31-year-old Angelo Colon-Ortiz. The arrest comes eight months after Marcotte's body was found about half a mile from her mother's house in Princeton, Mass., where the health-care account manager for Google was visiting for the weekend.
