LONDON - Britain's Attorney General Dominic Grieve has overruled three judges who last month decided the public had a right to see Prince Charles' letters to government officials. The royal has been open about his opinions on a range of subjects, but Britons reading the "particularly frank" letters might not think the prince is politically neutral, as a monarch must be, thus undermining the institution, Grieve said.

HAVANA - Cuba will scrap broad travel restrictions from January, state media said, easing most Cubans' exit and return in the communist island's first major immigration reform in half a century. The Cuban government imposed restrictions on travel in 1961 to try to stop a mass migration of people fleeing after the 1959 revolution that put Fidel Castro in power. The government will lift the much- reviled requirements to obtain an exit visa and letter of invitation and allow Cubans to simply show a passport and a visa from the country they are travelling to.
