'It's a historic night,' the vice president said.  President Donald Trump remained in Washington Sunday, spending several hours at his Virginia golf club, as he continues to refuse to concede the election to President-elect Joe Biden.  The Pences left Washington Sunday afternoon after th

Divorced parents should be asked to take an ‘eye contact test’ to check whether they get on well enough to share the care of their children, according to a judge-led report.

Both women were in Coogee on Saturday night with video showing the pair furiously arguing alongside two men. They were separated by another reveller as they shouted and screamed in the street, clutching at each other's arms. Suddenly the taller of the two women, a blonde wearing jeans and a loose-fitting jacket, produced a badge from her pocket.

GOP leadership in Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin say they won't participate in legally suspicious schemes to flip their state's electors for Donald Trump. Comments from leaders in these swing states that went blue this year effectively shut down a half-baked plot some Republicans floated as a last chance to keep Trump in the White House. State GOP lawmakers in the four key battleground states that swung blue this election have all said they would not intervene in the selection of electors. Those on the Electoral College are the individuals who ultimately cast the votes that secure a candidate's victory.

'I do not see, short of finding some type of fraud, which I haven't heard of anything – I don't see us in any serious way addressing a change in electors,'

We haven't flown to Korea and Taiwan in decades but we'd put services back into those destination it is we could.' Mr Joyce had bad news for jetsetters planning to head to Europe and the US in the next 12 months. 'Unfortunately with the levels of the virus in the United States and in Europe, we're not going to see operations to those destinations in an
