AP News, I'm Haya Punjwani. In a speech promoting reproductive rights, Vice President Kamala Harris says it's possible for Congress to restore Roe vs. Wade. We must have a majority of members in Congress who simply agree, regardless of their personal beliefs for themselves or their family, who just simply agree that the government should not be making these personal decisions for other people. In his state of the Union address, President Biden mispronounced the name of the Georgia nursing student who was killed allegedly by a migrant who was in the U.S. illegally. Her name was Lincoln Riley. Lincoln Riley, a innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal. That's right. But how many of thousands of people being killed by legal? To her parents, I say, my heart goes out to having lost children myself. I understand. The weather is perfect in the mountain west for ski-juring. AP correspondent Adana Hu reports. It's a combination of rodeo and skiing. Ready what you are? Shake your head! Horses, sometimes dogs, snowmobiles, and even cars, tow skiers by rope and speed stick in top 40 miles per hour over jumps as high as eight feet and around obstacles. This particular race is in the center of Leadville, Colorado. Consider the granddaddy of them all. Savannah McCarthy says getting started is one of the scariest parts. And then you're just flying down the avenue and there's not really much to think about except for trying not to die. Nick Burry has had his share of injuries. He was skiing with a separated shoulder. Taking a jump wrong, go down wrong, do you get in your season then, hospital bills, rack up, but it's just for the thrill of it. The crowds keep these riders going. They just want to see just a wild west action. Organizers are pushing to make ski-juring an Olympic sport. I'm Adana Hu. This is AP News. Liberty University, a Christian university, has been ordered to pay an unprecedented fine for its failure to report sexual assault crimes to the U.S. government. AP correspondent Walter Radliff has more from his religion roundup. The U.S. Department of Education says Liberty University has agreed to pay an unprecedented $14 million fine after the large Christian school in Virginia failed to disclose information about crimes on campus, including sexual assault. The final program review said that many victims of sexual crimes feared reporting because of concerns about reprisal. The review said several were punished for violating the student code of conduct known as the Liberty Way, while their assailants were left unpunished. The fine is by far the biggest under the Cleary Act, a federal law that requires universities to collect crime data and notify students of threats. Liberty settled in an earlier civil lawsuit filed by 12 women after they accused the school of fostering an unsafe environment and mishandling cases of sexual assault and harassment.
