In world and national news…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0WASHINGTON (AP) – Congress is demanding answers from the new CEO of General Motors and the head of the nation’s auto safety watchdog about why it took 10 years to recall cars with a defective part that is now linked to 13 deaths. Republican committee chairman Fred Upton of Michigan said GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration got complaints about the ignition switches 10 years ago, and GM submitted reports to the agency. In his opening remarks, he questioned why it took so long to recall the cars. GM has recalled 2.6 million cars for the faulty switch.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BRUSSELS (AP) – It’s another part of the fallout from Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula. NATO’s foreign ministers today ordered an end to civilian and military cooperation with Russia. And military officers from the alliance are being told to find ways to better protect NATO members that feel threatened by Moscow. NATO has already boosted air patrols over the Baltic Sea, and surveillance flights over Poland and Romania.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House says President Barack Obama has not made a decision on whether to release convicted spy Jonathan Pollard. People familiar with Mideast peace talks say the United States is talking to Israel about releasing Pollard early from his life sentence as an incentive to the Israelis to keep the troubled negotiations with the Palestinians afloat. The former civilian intelligence analyst was sent to prison for passing secret documents to Israel.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – Executives from Caterpillar Tuesday have been defending a tax strategy that saved the company billions of dollars in U.S. taxes. And at a Senate hearing, they got support from Republicans, including one who said the company deserves an award. According to a report released by Democratic Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, Caterpillar has avoided paying $2.4 billion in U.S. taxes since 2000 by shifting profits to a wholly-owned affiliate in Switzerland. The company says it follows all tax laws, and pays what it owes.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) – Opening statements are underway in the latest patent fight over mobile devices between Apple and Samsung, the world’s largest cellphone manufacturers. An Apple lawyer told jurors in San Jose that Samsung quickly recognized that the iPhone was going to be a big seller when it first went on the market, and the South Korean company didn’t have a product that could compete. He said Samsung then resorted to stealing iPhone technology.
