LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — British police are holding a 53-year-old man over a collision that turned a joyous soccer celebration in Liverpool to tragedy and sent more than two dozen people to hospitals. The city’s mayor says four people are in very serious condition. Police said they are not treating Monday evening’s incident as terrorism and are not looking for other suspects. Detectives on Tuesday were piecing together how a minivan plowed into crowds. It happened after the players of Liverpool Football Club celebrated the Premier League championship with an open-topped bus parade. The North West Ambulance Service said a total of 47 people were injured, of whom 27 were taken to local hospitals. (Photo: AP)

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — U.S. Sen. David McCormick says an arrangement for Japan-based Nippon Steel to invest in U.S. Steel will guarantee an American CEO, a majority of U.S. board members and U.S. government approval over certain corporate functions. McCormick spoke Tuesday on CNBC, four days after President Donald Trump suggested that an agreement on a “partnership” was at hand to resolve Nippon Steel’s nearly $15 billion bid to buy U.S. Steel that has been blocked on national security grounds. Trump said Sunday that U.S. Steel will be “controlled by the United States.” Many aspects outlined by McCormick and Trump have been floated previously by Nippon Steel, but Nippon Steel isn’t saying if it’s agreed to this deal.

PITTSBURGH — If you are spending any time outside, you likely are feeling symptoms like watery and itchy eyes or inflamed sinuses. It’s a prime time for allergies and doctors told Channel 11 this year is much worse. “We have really high counts of pollen allergies, like tree pollen, grass pollen and flower pollen are starting to come out now. So, what is happening now, although it’s getting beautiful outside, those of us with allergies are starting to suffer,” said Dr. Brian Lamb with Allegheny Health Network. Spring has sprung early when it comes to the pollen count outside, which means more people are suffering the symptoms. So, no matter the weather right now, the pollen will impact you, so what can you do? “If it’s going to be nice and warm for a few days, actually think about keeping your windows shut, and if you have air conditioning, use that instead. If you just have your furnace running low without heat, that’s good to circulate the air through the filters,” Dr. Lamb said. When it comes to medication, Dr. Lamb recommends a steroid nasal spray or just a traditional over-the-counter antihistamine. He suggests avoiding the decongestants, as they can lead to other medical problems if overused.

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — President Donald Trump has paid tribute to fallen service members during a Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. He honored what he called the “great, great warriors” Monday, yet veered into politics, boasting that he’s fixing the country after “a long and hard four years.” Although the holiday is typically a solemn one, Trump began it with an all-caps Memorial Day message that attacked his predecessor and called federal judges who have blocked his deportation initiatives “monsters who want our country to go to hell.” More than 400,000 are laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery, and there he commemorated the sacrifice of the fallen.
