Boris Johnson apologizes to Queen after House of Commons suspension
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has personally apologized to the Queen for asking her to approve the unlawful suspension of the House of Commons, The Times of London reported Sunday.
Johnson made his mea culpa on Tuesday, after a British court found that the five-week suspension he had ordered violated the law.

New blood test could detect 20 types of cancer
A new blood test now under development can help detect 20 kinds of cancer, according to trials underway at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
In trials, the test correctly identified 32 percent of patients with stage-one disease and 76 percent of those with stage-two disease, the institute announced.
Breast, colorectal and lung cancers were among those detected in blood samples.
The test showed an extremely low misdiagnosis rate — only 0.6 percent of healthy blood samples came back as incorrectly indicating cancer.
