Lindsay Clancy goes on trial over whether postpartum psychosis drove her to kill her 3 children
SUMMARY: A Massachusetts woman is on trial in a case where her lawyers argue that postpartum psychosis was the reason she killed her three children, aged 5 and younger. Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty, and in the coming weeks, jurors will hear dueling views about her culpability and mental state. Clancy’s attorney has laid out an insanity defense. Prosecutors argue she strangled Cora, Dawson, and Callan in well-planned murders in January 2023. At the time, she had been getting psychiatric care for about four months. A jury began hearing opening statements on Monday, and the trial is expected to take several weeks.

Tate brothers' lawyers and prosecutors to set schedule for UK extradition fight
SUMMARY: Attorneys for social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate will meet with federal prosecutors in Miami to work out a schedule for the potentially monthslong process of fighting extradition to the United Kingdom, where the brothers are accused of rape and sex trafficking. A date for a bond hearing and other legal deadlines will likely be set during Monday's status conference. The Tates are being held in federal detention across the street from the courthouse. They aren’t required to attend Monday’s conference and their attorneys said Friday that the Tates weren't planning to be there. The brothers have consistently denied allegations of abuse and human trafficking, claiming their violent and misogynistic statements have been taken out of context.

US appeals court upholds injunction that blocks Trump's order to create a federal voter list
SUMMARY: A federal appeals court has upheld a judge's ruling that halted President Donald Trump's efforts to create a federal voter list and limit who can receive a mail ballot. Judges of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Saturday rejected the Trump administration's effort to overturn an injunction blocking the mail-in voting restrictions in 23 U.S. states that sued ahead of November's midterm elections. Trump's March executive order directed the U.S. Postal Service to deliver mail ballots only to people on a government-created list of eligible voters. A federal judge last month ruled that the states and Congress, not the president, have the authority to set election rules.

Traffic to start flowing Monday across new bridge between Canada and US
SUMMARY: Traffic is set to start flowing across a new bridge over the Detroit River that will serve as a critical route for trade, jobs and tourism between Canada and the U.S. Last week, Canada celebrated the Gordie Howe International Bridge with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Windsor, Ontario, to mark the completion of the multibillion-dollar, multiyear project. U.S. and Michigan representatives were uninvited from Friday's gathering after President Donald Trump suddenly announced 50% tariffs on Canadian goods entering America. The bridge is named for Howe, a Canadian hockey icon who played on the other side of the river for the NHL’s Detroit Red Wings.

Wisconsin's capital city cancels signature events, grapples with fallout from police shooting
SUMMARY: A police shooting in Wisconsin’s progressive capital city this week put the spotlight on persistent and deep racial divisions, prompting cancellations and other changes to popular summertime events as protesters said they were determined to continue public pressure for change in Madison. Corey Ruiz, who is identified as Black or Latino in Wisconsin court records, was shot and killed by a Madison police officer on Wednesday after a brief scuffle. It marks the third time since 2012 that Madison police have shot and killed someone in the same neighborhood. The shooting has sparked renewed calls for police reforms and forced the city to once again reckon with calls from the Black community to address racial justice issues.

Sweltering heat wave grips central and southern US for a second straight day
SUMMARY: A scorching heat wave continues across the central and southern United States, leaving at least 40 million people under extreme heat warnings. Heat indexes exceeding 105 degrees Fahrenheit are expected from Memphis to Montana to Las Vegas. The National Weather Service says parts of the Southwest could see temperatures as high as 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The sweltering conditions are the result of a heat dome that traps heat and makes temperatures more extreme. Authorities are warning that children and older adults, along with people with certain medical conditions, are especially at risk of serious reactions including heat stroke.

Trump demands Senate cancel August break until it passes voting bill
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump is calling on Senate Majority Leader John Thune to keep senators in Washington until they pass a strict proof-of-citizenship voting bill. The legislation known as the SAVE America Act has become a priority for Trump even as it's been clear it doesn't have enough support to pass. Thune has repeatedly tried to move on from the issue with the Senate having a full legislative calendar already. But a small but vocal group of Republicans have joined Trump's call. Utah Sen. Mike Lee escalated his pressure last week saying it could affect leadership support after November.

Trump is set to defend his economic policies in Michigan, where new Canadian tariffs may sting
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump plans to focus on his economic policies during a visit to suburban Detroit. The Republican president tours a General Motors facility in Milford on Monday and is expected to defend his tariffs in a state where they've affected many businesses. Michigan's economy relies heavily on Canada, and new tariffs including on imported cars and auto parts create concerns. Trump's visit comes ahead of Michigan's Aug. 4 primary and as early voting is underway. Trump has endorsed Rep. John James in the Republican gubernatorial primary, while the Democratic Senate primary between Rep. Haley Stevens and progressive Abdul El-Sayed has drawn national attention.

Years of scandals haven't stopped Ken Paxton. Can James Talarico change that?
SUMMARY: Democrat James Talarico is challenging Republican Ken Paxton in a closely watched U.S. Senate race in Texas. Paxton has survived previous political attacks by championing conservative causes. Paxton opponents including Justin Nelson and George P. Bush have tried to highlight his legal troubles and portray him as corrupt but failed to defeat him. Talarico plans to focus on Paxton's handling of a child sexual abuse case to paint him as part of a corrupt system. Talarico has a fundraising advantage, which he hopes will help him succeed where others have not. Some political observers believe Talarico has a legitimate chance. Paxton’s campaign suggests Talarico has a record of “out-of-touch views.”

Exclusive: In a Ukrainian bomb shelter, Laura Loomer explains shift on Russia’s war
SUMMARY: Laura Loomer became infamous for spreading conspiracy theories online. Now, as she travels across Ukraine to see the damage inflicted by Russia in its yearslong war, she wants to admit that she fell for some falsehoods of her own. A close ally of President Donald Trump, Loomer has completely reversed her longtime criticism of Ukraine and is urging fellow conservatives to be wary of Moscow’s propaganda, which she blames for duping large swaths of the American right. She spoke with The Associated Press in Kyiv from an underground bomb shelter as the city faced another ballistic missile attack.

Netanyahu accuses Mamdani of 'fomenting hate' and calls ICC war-crimes charges 'bogus'
SUMMARY: Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu says New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani is “fomenting hate” by calling the prime minister a war criminal who should be arrested if he visits the city. Speaking Sunday on Fox News Channel, Netanyahu said he intends to attend the United Nations General Assembly gathering of world leaders in September. Mamdani said last week that while New York lacks legal authority to execute the arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court but he encouraged the federal government to do so. President Donald Trump has said Netanyahu won't be arrested. Netanyahu dismissed the ICC charges tied to the war in Gaza as “bogus.”

Mediators see progress in efforts to halt Iran war as drone attacks rattle region
SUMMARY: Mediators have made progress in efforts to bring the United States and Iran back to negotiations and prevent an all-out war in the Middle East. That's according to two regional officials who spoke to The Associated Press. But scattered attacks by armed groups across the region underscored the lingering tensions. Neither the U.S. nor Iran have claimed any strikes for three days. Mediators led by Qatar and Pakistan are working to bridge the gap between Washington and Tehran. The U.S. has paused attacks after targeting Iranian areas in response to Iran firing at ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

France says monster fire that forced 220,000 people to flee has stopped growing but remains a threat
SUMMARY: Fire crews in southwest France are battling a massive wildfire that has burned an area four times the size of Paris. The blaze forced 220,000 people to flee near Bordeaux. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez says the fire stopped growing, offering a glimmer of hope. However, with temperatures expected to rise, the situation remains critical. Crews are racing against time, using earth movers to create firebreaks. Meanwhile, Spain is also fighting its largest-ever fires, with evacuations around Madrid and Valencia. Authorities are urging stronger climate action as heat waves intensify the crisis.

Days disrupted: 7 people around the world share how the Iran war has reshaped their lives
SUMMARY: Across seven countries, seven people woke up to days that no longer looked the way they once did. The war in Iran began months ago and thousands of miles away. But its effects quickly ricocheted across the world — oil markets first, sending fuel prices higher. Then the shock moved outward — into farms, factories and family budgets. Into the fabric of life. The global economy remains tethered to fossil fuels that also drive climate change. A severe shock to that system could push 45 million more people into poverty, the United Nations Development Program warned.

Gunther von Hagens, the German anatomist behind the 'Body Worlds' exhibition, dies at 81
SUMMARY: Gunther von Hagens, the German anatomist who generated both fascination and revulsion around the globe with his “Body Worlds” exhibits of preserved human corpses, has died. He was 81. Von Hagens trod a fine line between science, entertainment and commerce with his touring exhibits, as well as headline-grabbing actions such as a public autopsy. At the heart of von Hagens’ work was the so-called plastination process — replacing body fluids with liquid plastic that then hardens. That technique, which he started developing in the 1970s, prevented decay, left tissues intact and allowed him to display preserved corpses and their inner organs.

French wildfire created a monster cloud, unleashing lightning that ignited more fires
SUMMARY: A wildfire in southwest France grew so powerful that its towering smoke column became a thunderstorm, generating lightning that struck the ground and ignited new fires beyond the original blaze, French officials said. The so-called pyrocumulonimbus — which France’s national firefighters federation said had never before been seen in the country — also generated violent, erratic winds that could drive the flames in new directions. The inferno was no longer simply being propelled by the weather around it. It had begun creating its own.

A gay belly dancer turns grief into joy after fatal attack on Berlin's Pride festival
SUMMARY: Dancers haven taken the stage in Berlin and urged resilience after a fatal attack on the city's Pride celebrations. Sunday night's performance acknowledged the toll on the LGBTQ+ community.

Philippine president slams China in veiled rebuke in his state of the nation speech
SUMMARY: Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has denounced China in a veiled rebuke in his state of the nation speech. He vowed on Monday that his government will defend a 2016 arbitration ruling that invalidated Beijing’s expansive claims in the disputed South China Sea, and said that Filipinos “do not yield” to conquerors. On domestic issues, Marcos disclosed that a special anti-graft prosecutor would soon file charges against former House of Representatives Speaker Martin Romualdez, who has been implicated in a corruption scandal that the president exposed in his state of the nation speech last year. He did not identify Romualdez, his cousin, but was obviously referring to him.

What to know about the historic wildfires in France and Spain
SUMMARY: Historic wildfires in France and Spain have forced hundreds of thousands to flee their homes. Heat waves and scant rainfall have fueled these blazes, with record temperatures in June contributing to the crisis. Climate data shows Europe is heating faster than anywhere else on earth. The extreme heat drew moisture from vegetation, creating abundant fuel that allows flames to spread faster and burn more intensely. National and European Union authorities are reporting fires of record scope this year. Other European countries have sent assistance, including firefighters and water bombers, to help battle the blazes.

Questions mount after deadly Berlin Pride attack. Here's what to know
SUMMARY: Berliners are mourning after a deadly attack near the city's Pride festival as questions grow about why the suspect was freed following a conviction linked to the Islamic State group. Abdul Ballout, a 21-year-old German citizen, was killed after a 24-hour search. He allegedly drove a van into a crowd Saturday night and attacked others with a machete, killing one woman and injuring 29 people. Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Monday questioned how the attack could have been prevented. Ballout had a history of supporting IS and was given a suspended sentence.

Hernández had been extradited to the U.S. for drug trafficking and sentenced to 45 years. But he was released in December after a pardon from President Donald Trump. Hernández led Honduras from 2014 to 2022 and was once a U.S. ally in the drug war. He now faces charges in Honduras related to a corruption case involving public funds.

China memory chipmaker CXMT's shares soar in a blockbuster share listing in Shanghai
SUMMARY: Shares of Chinese memory chipmaker CXMT have soared as the company began trading in Shanghai in mainland China’s biggest IPO in recent years. CXMT raised at least $8.6 billion with the IPO. Founded in 2016, the company is China’s leading memory chip manufacturer, making chips that are used in areas including AI servers to consumer electronics like smartphones. This comes as China is increasingly pushing for self-sufficiency in its tech race with the U.S., despite American-led export controls having blocked the country from accessing the world's most cutting-edge chipmaking machineries. Though the company still trails behind giants like SK Hynix and Micron, it is now playing a critical role in China’s artificial intelligence push.

A forced-labor crackdown or an end-run around Congress? Dissecting Trump's new tariffs
SUMMARY: The Trump administration has levied tariffs on more than 60 countries, using a legal justification that permits the president to impose import taxes and other sanctions against countries found to engage in “unjustifiable,” “unreasonable” or “discriminatory” trade practices. Specifically, the tariffs announced on Thursday were levied under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 on countries the U.S. found failed “to impose and effectively enforce a prohibition on the importation of goods produced with forced labor.” Protests from the affected countries — which account for 99% of U.S. imports — were swift. Critics say the claims are unfounded and arbitrary.
