BOLIVIA-PROTESTS-THE LATEST
The Latest: Bolivia police deny they seek to arrest Morales
LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) — Bolivia’s Evo Morales claims authorities are seeking to arrest him now that he has given up the presidency under pressure after weeks of social unrest over the country’s disputed election.
But a police commander said Sunday night no warrant has been issued for Morales, whose whereabouts are unknown.
In a tweet, Morales said: “I report to the world and Bolivian people that a police officer publicly announced that he has instructions to execute an unlawful apprehension order against me; in addition, violent groups also stormed my home.”
Police Gen. Yuri Calderon says rumors of police seeking to arrest Morales are “fake news.” He says no apprehension order has been issued for Morales.
Armed intruders, however, did break into Morales’ home in Cochabamba.

Hong Kong protester appears shot by police in online video
HONG KONG (AP) — A video posted online in Hong Kong shows police shooting at least one protester as demonstrators disrupted the morning rush hour.
A police officer collars one protester and then shoots another who approaches in the video posted on Facebook on Monday by online video outlet Cupid Producer.

The officer also fires at a third protester who approached. It was unclear if the protester was hit.
NIKKI HALEY
In memoir, Haley alleges disloyalty among some on Trump team
NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump’s former U.N. ambassador, Nikki Haley , alleges in her upcoming memoir that two top administration officials tried to enlist her in opposing some of Trump’s policies.
Haley writes that then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and then-White House chief of staff John Kelly were following a “dangerous path.”
In her book, “With All Due Respect,” Haley describes a meeting with Tillerson and Kelly, both of whom had differed with Trump on pulling out of the Paris climate accords and other decisions.
Haley writes that Tillerson and Kelly believed they were trying to “save the country,” but she remembers thinking they were only trying to impose their own beliefs.
“I was shocked,” she writes.
Haley’s book comes out Tuesday. The Associated Press purchased an early copy.
SPAIN-ELECTION-THE LATEST
The Latest: Spanish interim PM seeks support to end deadlock
MADRID (AP) — Spain’s interim prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has called on political opponents to be “responsible” and “generous” by allowing a Socialist-led government to end the monthslong political deadlock.
With 96% of the votes counted, the Socialists won 120 seats, down three seats from the last election in April and still far from the absolute majority of 176 needed to form a government alone.
Celebrating that his party came first in Sunday’s national election, Sánchez vowed to begin the work Monday of clearing the stalemate that had brought Spaniards to the polls for the fourth time in four years.
He also told supporters that “we extend this call to all the political parties except those that … plant the seeds of hate in our democracy.” His reference hinted at the far-right and possibly also at separatist Catalan parties.
IRAQ-PROTESTS
Amnesty calls for urgent end to ‘bloodbath’ in Iraq
BAGHDAD (AP) — Amnesty International is calling on Iraqi authorities to immediately rein in security forces after at least six protesters were killed in central Baghdad amid a widening security crackdown.
The deaths, including five by live ammunition, occurred a day earlier during a police operation to clear demonstrations from several bridges and streets near Tahrir Square. In the southern city of Basra, eight protesters have been killed since Thursday.
Amnesty International said there has been at least 264 protester deaths across Iraq in just over a month and called it a “bloodbath.”
The statement called on authorities to end the “unlawful use of lethal force” and said those responsible for it must be brought to justice.
The leaderless, economically driven protests engulfing Baghdad and the south are targeting Iraq’s entire political class.

IRAN-OIL
Iran’s president says new oil field with 50B barrels found
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s president says a new oil field has been discovered with an estimated 50 billion barrels of crude oil in the country’s south.
The announcement by President Hassan Rouhani on Sunday would mean Iran’s proven crude oil reserves would be boosted by a third. Right now, Iran says it has some 150 billion barrels of proven crude oil reserves.
He said the discovered field was located in Iran’s oil-rich Khuzestan province.
Rouhani made the announcement Sunday in a speech in the desert city of Yazd.
Iran’s energy industry has been hard-hit by U.S. sanctions over its collapsing nuclear deal with world powers.
TRUMP IMPEACHMENT-TV IMPACT
Watergate redux? Trump impeachment inquiry heads for live TV
Back in 1973, tens of millions of Americans tuned in to what Variety called “the hottest daytime soap opera” — the Senate Watergate hearings.
They eventually led to President Richard Nixon’s resignation.
By some estimates, more than 80% of Americans tuned in to at least part of the Watergate telecasts. Seeing the witnesses lay out the case against Nixon moved public opinion decidedly in favor of impeachment.
But this time may be different.
When the House impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump begins its public phase on Wednesday, people will be watching on screens large and small. Many are likely to be watching on more than one screen, with real-time reinforcement of their views about Trump on social media platforms and other venues that didn’t exist in Nixon’s time.
SUPREME COURT-IMMIGRATION
Justices take up high-profile case over young immigrants
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is taking up the Trump administration’s plan to end legal protections that shield 660,000 immigrants from deportation. It’s a case with strong political overtones amid the 2020 presidential election campaign.
All eyes will be on Chief Justice John Roberts when the court hears arguments Tuesday. Roberts is the conservative justice closest to the court’s center who’s also keenly aware of public perceptions of an ideologically divided court.
It’s the third time in three years the administration is asking the justices to rescue a controversial policy that’s been blocked by lower courts.
The program at issue is Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. The Obama-era program aimed to bring out of the shadows people who’ve been in the U.S. since they were children and are in the country illegally.
MEXICO BORDER KILLINGS FAMILIES
Utah man helps mom, family flee Mexico after deadly attack
PHOENIX (AP) — A Utah man who helped get his mother and other family members safely out of northern Mexico after nine people were killed in an apparent ambush says they’ll likely never return.
Mike Hafen says his mother and some other family members had lived in one of the hamlets in Mexico’s Sonora state for 47 years and left with the bare minimum in possessions.
Hafen says many of his family and friends think they’ll never go back to Mexico.
He says it’s just not safe with the drug cartels and it’s getting worse.
More than 100 people left their rural community Saturday in an 18-vehicle caravan after the attack Monday in which nine women and children were killed by what authorities say were hit men from drug cartels.
