LONDON (AP) — Prince Harry has said he wants to have his father and brother back and that he wants “a family, not an institution,” during a TV interview ahead of the publication of his memoir. The interview with Britain’s ITV channel is due to be released this Sunday. In clips released Monday, Harry was shown saying that “they feel as though it is better to keep us somehow as the villains” and that “they have shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile.” It was not clear who he was referring to.

CHRISTIANSTED, U.S. Virgin Islands (AP) — President Joe Biden and top administration officials are opening a new year of divided government by fanning out across the country later this week to talk about how the economy is benefitting from his work with Democrats and Republicans. As part of the effort, the White House says Biden and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell will make a rare joint appearance in McConnell’s home state of Kentucky on Wednesday. The leaders will highlight nearly $1 trillion in infrastructure spending that lawmakers approved on a bipartisan basis in 2021. More than $1 billion of that money will be used to build a new bridge over the Ohio River between Cincinnati and Covington, Kentucky.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Authorities in Pennsylvania have arrested a suspect in the stabbing deaths of four Idaho students. The chief of police in Moscow, Idaho, said Friday that 28-year-old Bryan Kohberger is a PhD student in the criminology department at Washington State University. The school is only a short drive from the University of Idaho. A law enforcement official says DNA played a key role in identifying Kohberger as a suspect. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss details of the ongoing investigation. Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson said investigators believe Kohberger broke into the students’ home “with the intent to commit murder.”

GREENSBURG, Pa. (AP) — A western Pennsylvania prosecutor has ruled that state troopers were justified in shooting and killing a driver after a high-speed pursuit through three counties ended in an exchange of gunfire last month. Westmoreland County District Attorney Nicole Ziccarelli said she reviewed videos, reports, witness interviews and evidence from the scene before making her determination in the Nov. 3 death of 35-year-old Krysten Pretlor of Johnstown. Authorities said Pretlor was wanted in a domestic case but fled when police in Cambria County’s Richland Township tried to serve a warrant, and he then led them on a 45-mile chase into Indiana and Westmoreland counties that reached speeds topping 100 mph.
