Assisted dying about to be legal in Canada

TORONTO (AP) — Doctor-assisted dying is about to become legal in Canada without clear legislation on how it would work.Canada's Supreme Court last year struck down laws that bar doctors from helping someone critically ill to die, but put the ruling on hold until midnight Monday to give the government time to come up with a new law. The House of Commons passed a law last week but it requires Senate approval and that could take days or weeks.Provincial regulators issued guidelines based on the eligibility outlined by the Supreme Court but Health Minister Jane Philpott said Monday the guidelines do not provide enough clarity and protection to doctors. She hopes the federal legislation will pass soon.Join the conversation about this story

Pope names Guam administrator after bishop accused of abuse

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis on Monday named a special administrator for the Catholic Church on the Pacific territory of Guam after its archbishop was accused of sexually abusing young boys and of keeping church abuse policies weak to protect himself.The archdiocese of Agana in the U.S. territory said last week it had hired a law firm and independent investigator to look into the allegations against Archbishop Anthony Apuron and how abuse cases were handled by his church.On Monday, Francis named Archbishop Savio Hon Tai-Fai, the No. 2 official in the Vatican's mission office, as "apostolic administrator" for Agana. Apostolic administrators are named to run dioceses or archdioceses temporarily in the pope's name, usually pending the nomination of a new bishop.Apuron, who technically remains in his post, has vigorously denied allegations he sexually abused an altar boy and a now-deceased son of an Arizona woman in the 1970s, when he was a priest. The allegations came back to t

Yellen: Economy improving but timing of rate hike is unclear

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen indicated Monday that the U.S. economy is improving but remains defined by so many uncertainties that it's unclear when the Fed should resume raising interest rates.Speaking in Philadelphia, Yellen struck a mainly positive and optimistic tone about the economy. She noted that the job market had strengthened significantly since the Great Recession and said that consumer spending and economic growth seem likely to accelerate after a tepid start to 2016.But the Fed chair suggested that a dismal jobs report that the government issued Friday had raised some doubts about the broader economy. She referred repeatedly to the uncertainties surrounding the Fed's outlook.In doing so, Yellen dropped a reference she had made in a speech May 27 that a Fed rate hike would likely be appropriate "in the coming months." In its place, she offered no specific timetable for the Fed to act.Yellen's speech had been highly anticipated given that it co

'Equus' and 'Amadeus' playwright Peter Shaffer dies at 90

LONDON (AP) — British playwright Peter Shaffer, whose durable, award-winning hits included "Equus" and "Amadeus," has died. He was 90.Shaffer's agent, Rupert Lord, said the playwright died Monday while on a visit to southwestern Ireland with friends and family.Born in Liverpool in 1926, Shaffer made his London and New York stage debut in 1958 with simmering domestic drama "Five Finger Exercise," directed by John Gielgud. He had a huge hit in 1964 with "The Royal Hunt of the Sun," a spectacular imagining of the Spanish conquest of Peru that was staged by Britain's newly founded National Theatre.Shaffer went on to write many of his plays for the National, from where they often moved on to commercial West End runs and Broadway.For much of his long career Shaffer achieved the often-elusive goal of combining commercial and critical success, writing thoughtful, cleverly crafted plays that became box-office hits in London and New York.In 1965, the National Theatre staged Shaffer's farc
