Sore feet the only worry for pregnant New Zealand PM
PARIS - New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern joked Tuesday that sore feet and being "a little slow going upstairs" were her only worries as she began a European tour while seven months pregnant. Ardern, 37, became prime minister last October after a whirlwind rise and then surprised the nation again in January by announcing she was set to become a mum for the first time. Since then, the Pacific nation has been fascinated by the arrival of the baby while the PM has emerged as a role model for working mothers. "The early stages were probably the most difficult because I had such bad morning sickness and at that point no one even knew," Ardern said in Paris. The Labour Party leader was visiting France during a week of meetings that will see her travel to Berlin and...

Boy unearths legendary Danish king's trove in Germany
BERLIN - A 13-year-old boy and an amateur archaeologist have unearthed a "significant" treasure trove in Germany which may have belonged to the legendary Danish king Harald Bluetooth.
