Kamala Harris (Photo: Lawrence Jackson/Biden for President/dpa) KAMPALA (Uganda), March 26 (Bernama) -- United States (US) Vice President Kamala Harris is embarking on a weeklong trip to Africa beginning this weekend that will be closely watched as she is the first Black woman US vice president to visit the continent. It will come eight years after Barack Obama, the first US Black president, made his trip to the region in office, Anadolu Agency (AA) reported. US administration officials previewing the trip said it is a 'future-oriented' expedition to deepen the relationship and portray Africa as a place for investment -- not just aid packages, a theme Harris emphasised in December during a US-Africa summit in Washington, the only one since 2014, which was hosted by Obama.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Jayden Daniels threw for 259 yards and three touchdowns, ran for 139 yards and another score and, despite playing with banged-up ribs much of the second half, rallied No. 23 LSU to a 49-39 victory over No. 21 Missouri on Saturday. Logan Diggs added 134 yards rushing and a touchdown, and Malik Nabers caught six balls for 146 yards and the go-ahead score with 2:58 to go, as LSU (4-2, 3-1 SEC) escaped a shootout in which defense appeared to be optional. The teams combined for 46 first downs, 1,061 yards total offense — and 22 penalties for 145 yards.

Pennsylvania will receive $14 million to clean abandoned sites with potential contaminants, politicians said Friday. Sens. Bob Casey and John Fetterman, the two Pennsylvania representatives in the U.S. Senate, announced the federal funding. The money will be distributed among 18 counties, townships, authorities and conservation groups across the state who applied to the EPA's brownfield program. Brownfields are abandoned or underused sites with potential contaminants, pollutants or other hazardous materials that make their development more expensive, like former steel mills or brick yards.
