US Supreme Court considers overturning same-sex marriage ruling

A call to overturn the landmark US Supreme Court decision legalising same-sex marriage America-wide is on the agenda for the justices' closed-door conference.

America's busiest airports, including those in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, were set to face thousands of flight cuts starting on Friday due to the government shutdown, according to a list distributed to the airlines and obtained by The Associated Press.
