A report published by a Native American-led nonprofit examines in detail the dispossession of Indigenous homelands in Colorado, quantifies the value of the land and resources taken and outlines the state education system’s omission of that history in its curriculum. The report shared first with The Associated Press and published this week identifies 10 tribal nations that have “aboriginal title, congressional title, and treaty title to lands within Colorado” and lays out how the land was legally and illegally taken. It puts the value of that land at more than $1.7 trillion and more than $546 million in mineral extraction.

Scotland supporters are doing their best to make their team feel right at home in Germany ahead of its opening game against the host nation at the European Championship. Tens of thousands of fans have arrived in Munich over the past few days, turning the streets into a riot of color and noise. And more were expected ahead of Friday evening’s game. Scotland hasn’t played a European Championship match abroad since 1992 and its supporters, nicknamed the Tartan Army, are certainly making the most of it. “It feels as if most of the country are (here),” Scotland captain Andy Robertson said.

Croatia will be led again by the evergreen Luka Modrić, who at 38 will be playing at the tournament for the fifth time. Modrić joins his national teammates after winning a Spanish league and Champions League double with Real Madrid.

Left-wing groups are planning protests later Friday in Athens and other cities, as well as outside Greek diplomatic missions in other European countries.

Tuesday's contests will determine who'll challenge two U.S. House members from opposite ends of Georgia’s political spectrum: Democrat Sanford Bishop and Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene. Bishop’s Republican general election opponent will be either a construction superintendent who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of illegally demonstrating inside the Capitol on Jan. 6 or a former U.S. Department of Education official in the Trump administration.

The U.S.-led campaign against Iran-backed Houthi rebels has turned into the most intense running sea battle the Navy has faced since World War II. That's what its leaders and experts tell The Associated Press, whose journalists visited U.S. ships off Yemen in recent days. The fight against the near-daily attacks by the Houthis has been overshadowed by the Israel-Hamas war raging in Gaza. More than 50 vessels have been clearly targeted by the rebels. Other fire has endangered shipping through the vital Red Sea corridor. It appears the warfare likely only will intensify, putting the U.S. and allies more at risk.

The explosions Thursday evening rocked the Nussbaumen neighborhood of the small town of Obersiggenthal, northwest of Zurich. Police said Friday that the explosions appeared to have been caused by an accident, but didn't give more details. Swiss media reported that the explosions created a large cloud of smoke that was visible from afar and the explosions were heard from well outside the town. Police said that the fire at one point spread to several floors of the building. Several buildings were evacuated.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is promising to “immediately” order a cease-fire in Ukraine and begin negotiations if Kyiv started withdrawing troops from the four occupied Ukrainian regions and renounced plans to join NATO. Such a deal appears a nonstarter for Kyiv, which wants to join NATO and has demanded Russia to withdraw troops from all of its territory. Putin made the remarks in a speech at the Russian Foreign Ministry in Moscow. His remarks came as leaders of the Group of Seven leading industrialized nations met in Italy and as Switzerland prepared to host scores of world leaders -- but not Russia -- this weekend to try to map out first steps toward peace in Ukraine.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is tweaking his Cabinet with a focus on cost-of-living and labor policies after his center-right party’s victory in last week’s European parliamentary elections. The pandemic and Russia’s war on Ukraine contributed to rising prices in the southern European country. Despite a recent dip in inflation, polls consistently show most Greeks’ top concern is cost of living. Takis Theodorikakos will head the development ministry that’s largely responsible for supervising consumer prices. He previously held the interior and public order portfolios. The key finance, foreign affairs and defense portfolios remain unchanged.

The fourth trial of former Germany defender Jérôme Boateng on allegations of assault against his former partner has been interrupted just after it began. News agency dpa reports judge Susanne Hemmerich has appealed to Boateng’s defense and the public prosecutor to reach an agreement. The proceedings have been ongoing for the past six years, partly because of the coronavirus pandemic and partly because of judicial failures. This is the fourth time the same matter has been before the court. Boateng was previously found guilty of domestic violence against Sherin Senler. However, the process had to be started because of legal errors. Boateng’s attorney rejected the allegations. Boateng played 76 games for Germany.

Supporters say a a Chinese journalist who promoted women's rights as part of the country's nascent #MeToo movement has been sentenced to five years in prison on charges of undermining state security. The verdict provided to The Associated Press stated that Huang Xueqin would also face a fine of 100,000 yuan ($14,000) for her alleged crime that underscores the ruling Communist Party's intolerance of any challenge to its control over political power in a system dominated by men at its upper echelons. Huang's release date was listed as Sept. 18, 2026, accounting for her earlier detention. A co-defendant, Wang Jianbin, was sentenced to three years and six months on the same charge.
