US--TRUMP SHOOTING ATTEMPT

Man accused of trying to assassinate Trump at golf course tells jury he didn’t intend to kill

SUMMARY: A man representing himself in federal court against charges of trying to assassinate Donald Trump last year at his Florida golf course has told jurors he didn’t intend to kill anyone that day. Jurors have begun deliberating the charges against Ryan Routh, who says he could’ve shot Trump or a Secret Service agent if he had intended harm. On Tuesday, prosecutors argued Routh spent weeks plotting to kill the Republican before aiming a rifle at him. Prosecutors say the evidence shows Routh “wanted Donald Trump dead.” Routh has pleaded not guilty to charges of attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer and several firearm violations.

US--SEXUAL MISCONDUCT-DIDDY

Defense tells judge Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has served enough time behind bars

SUMMARY: Lawyers for music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs are urging a judge to sentence him early next month to no more than 14 months in prison for his conviction on two prostitution-related charges. The lawyers made their arguments Monday in a written submission to New York federal Judge Arun Subramanian. He’s already rejected bail for Combs, signaling that he believes he must serve more time behind bars despite being exonerated in July of the more serious racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges. Prosecutors, who will submit their recommendations prior to the Oct. 3 sentencing, have already said they’ll urge Combs stay imprisoned substantially longer than the four to five years they originally thought.

Residents of San Francisco Bay Area jolted awake by 4.3 magnitude earthquake

SUMMARY: Residents across the San Francisco Bay Area were jolted awake by a moderate earthquake that was felt widely across the region. The 4.3 magnitude quake hit shortly before 3 a.m. Monday just east-southeast of Berkeley, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. No injuries or major damage was reported, but some businesses said windows were broken and merchandise tumbled from shelves. Bay Area Rapid Transit trains ran with delays for several hours as crews made safety inspections of the tracks systemwide. BART said trains returned to regular service around midday.

Man charged in New Hampshire country club shooting makes first court appearance

SUMMARY: A man charged in a fatal shooting at a New Hampshire country club made an initial appearance in court and was scheduled to return to court in early October. Authorities say patrons at a restaurant acted quickly to stop a gunman who opened fire while a wedding was taking place at a New Hampshire country club, averting a worse tragedy. They say one person was killed and two others were wounded by the gunfire Saturday night before the suspect was taken into custody in a nearby neighborhood not long after the shooting.

US--UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY-TRUMP

Trump tells UN in speech that it is ‘not even coming close to living up’ to its potential

SUMMARY: President Donald Trump has returned to the United Nations to boast of his second-term foreign policy achievements and lash out at the world body as a feckless institution. He also warned Europe it would be ruined if it doesn’t turn away from a “double-tailed monster” of ill-conceived migration and green energy policies. World leaders listened closely to his Tuesday remarks at the U.N. General Assembly as Trump has already moved quickly to diminish U.S. support for the world body in his first eight months in office. After his speech, Trump met with Secretary-General António Guterres and told the top U.N. official that the U.S. is behind the global body “100%” amid fears among members that he’s edging toward a full retreat.

Trump cancels White House meeting with Schumer and Jeffries despite risk of a government shutdown

SUMMARY: Democratic leaders accuse President Donald Trump of throwing a tantrum and chickening out after he canceled a meeting with them ahead of a potential federal government shutdown. The Republican president refuses to negotiate over Democratic demands to shore up health care funds as part of any deal to keep the government funded. Congress must approve legislation to fund the government by Oct. 1. Trump on Tuesday rejected this week’s sit-down the White House agreed to the day before with Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, saying no meeting with them could be productive. Jeffries says, “Trump Always Chickens Out.” Schumer says Trump “is running away” and would “rather throw a tantrum than do his job.”

US--AP POLL-IMMIGRATION

More Americans think companies benefit from legal immigration, a new AP-NORC poll finds

SUMMARY: A new poll finds U.S. adults are more likely than they were a year ago to think immigrants in the country legally benefit the economy. That comes as President Donald Trump’s administration imposes new restrictions targeting legal pathways into the country. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey finds Americans are more likely than they were in March 2024 to say it’s a “major benefit” that people who come to the U.S. legally contribute to the economy and help American companies get the expertise of skilled workers. At the same time, perceptions of illegal immigration haven’t shifted meaningfully. Americans still see fewer benefits from people who come to the U.S. illegally.

Dr. Trump? The president reprises his COVID era, this time sharing unproven medical advice on autism

SUMMARY: President Donald Trump isn’t a doctor. But he played one on TV Monday, offering copious amounts of unproven medical advice that he suggested -- without providing evidence -- might help reduce autism rates. Trump suggested pregnant women avoid Tylenol, despite the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists endorsing it as safe. Speaking alongside vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump also recommended spreading out key immunizations for newborns. He claimed, without evidence, a link between autism and acetaminophen. His statements drew criticism from actual medical experts and recalled the unfounded claims he tossed out during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic.

Trump makes unfounded claims about Tylenol and repeats discredited link between vaccines and autism

SUMMARY: President Donald Trump is using the platform of the presidency to promote unproven ties between Tylenol, vaccines and autism. Speaking Monday from the White House, the president said women should not take acetaminophen, also known by the brand name Tylenol, “during the entire pregnancy.” He also raised unfounded concerns about vaccines. The Trump administration has been under immense pressure from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s diverse Make America Healthy Again movement to provide answers on the causes of the marked increase in autism cases in the U.S. in recent years. Monday’s announcement included the launching of an effort to study the causes of the complex brain disorder.

US--TRUMP-ANTIFA-WHAT TO KNOW

What to know after Trump classifies decentralized antifa movement as a domestic terror organization

SUMMARY: President Donald Trump has issued an executive order designating antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. Antifa, short for “anti-fascists,” is an umbrella term for far-left-leaning militant groups and is not a singular entity. It consists of groups that resist fascists and neo-Nazis, especially at demonstrations. The order did not specify how the administration would label what is effectively a decentralized movement as a domestic terrorist organization. Trump had said last week on social media that he would designate antifa as a “major terrorist organization.”

Supreme Court will weigh expanding Trump’s power to shape agencies by overturning 90-year-old ruling

SUMMARY: The Supreme Court will consider expanding President Donald Trump’s power to shape independent agencies by overturning a nearly century-old decision limiting when presidents can fire board members. The high court agreed Monday to quickly hear arguments in a case over the firing of members of the Federal Trade Commission and two other boards. The justices have allowed the Republican president to fire Democratic Federal Trade Commission Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter and board members at other agencies while their lawsuits play out. The high court’s actions send a strong signal the conservative majority could be poised to overturn or narrow a 1935 decision that found commissioners can be removed only for misconduct or neglect of duty.

SUMMARY: Several unidentified drones shut down airspace over Copenhagen Airport. Monday night’s incident prompted concerns that Russia could be behind the flyover above Scandinavia’s largest airport. Police say there was no indication that the operators intended to cause harm to anyone and the drones disappeared after several hours. The incident caused a major disruption to air traffic in and out of the airport. It wasn’t immediately clear who was behind the flyover. But Denmark’s prime minister and NATO’s secretary-general said Tuesday that Russian involvement couldn’t be ruled out.

SUMMARY: A Palestinian medical charity says Israel destroyed its main center in Gaza City after ordering its evacuation.

It said the center was one of the main facilities in the city providing blood donation and testing services, trauma care, cancer medicine and chronic disease treatment. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military, which launched an offensive aimed at occupying Gaza City earlier this month. Multiple hospitals in the famine-stricken city have been forced to shut down as Israel forces advance.

The first charge cites 19 victims killed while Duterte was mayor of Davao City between 2013 and around 2016. The second involves 14 who died in targeted killings between 2016 and 2017 when Duterte was president. The third cited the killings of 43 people during so-called “clearance operations” between 2016 and 2018.

ML-MIDEAST WARS-PALESTINIANS STATEHOOD REACTIONS

As Western nations recognize Palestinian statehood, Palestinians doubt its impact

SUMMARY: Palestinians across the Gaza Strip and the Israeli-occupied West Bank are welcoming news that some Western countries have recognized a Palestinian state. But they express doubt the moves will improve their dire circumstances. On Monday, France, Andorra, Belgium, Luxembourg, Malta and Monaco announced their recognition at the start of a U.N. meeting aimed at galvanizing support for a two-state solution to the Mideast conflict. A day earlier the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Portugal did the same. More nations are expected to follow, in defiance of Israel and the United States. The moves are unlikely to have much if any short-term impact on the ground, where Israel is waging a major offensive in famine-stricken Gaza City and expanding settlements in the West Bank.

UN chief warns world leaders of ‘an age of reckless disruption and relentless human suffering’

SUMMARY: The United Nations chief is challenging world leaders to choose a future where the rule of law triumphs over raw power. He wants nations to come together rather than scramble for self-interests. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the U.N.’s founders faced the same questions 80 years ago. He told today’s world leaders at the opening of their annual gathering at the General Assembly that the choice of peace or war, law or lawlessness, cooperation or conflict, is even more urgent and more intertwined than ever. He said the world has entered an age of “relentless human suffering.”

SUMMARY: Russia says it shot down three dozen Ukrainian drones heading toward Moscow. And Ukraine says Russian missiles, drones and bombs killed at least two civilians. The reports Tuesday came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy persevered with efforts to bolster international support for his country at a U.N. gathering of world leaders. His troops are under strain on the front line after more than 3½ years of fighting Russia’s bigger invading army. Zelensky was due to begin meetings with leaders gathered in New York this week for the U.N. General Assembly. Peace efforts set in motion by U.S. President Donald Trump since he returned to office in January appear to have stalled.

More experts see genocide in Israel’s wartime conduct in Gaza

SUMMARY: A growing number of experts have said Israel’s offensive in the Gaza Strip amounts to genocide, deepening Israel’s isolation and risking untold damage to the country’s standing even among allies. The accusation is vehemently denied by Israel. Others have rejected it or said only a court can make that determination. Even so, global outrage over Israel’s wartime conduct has mounted in recent months. A current offensive in the territory’s largest city further raised concern, with some of Israel’s European allies condemning the operation. But the genocide accusation goes further, raising the question of whether a state forged in the aftermath of the crime is now committing it.

SUMMARY: Ukraine’s armed forces face a challenging fall as Russia intensifies efforts to seize the eastern Donetsk region. Ukraine controls about 30% of Donetsk, including key cities such as Druzhkivka, Kostiantynivka, Sloviansk, and Kramatorsk. Russian forces have increased attacks north of Sloviansk and south of the fortress belt, aiming to sever supply lines and encircle cities. Analysts suggest Russia may avoid urban battles after costly fights like in Bakhmut. Instead, they might pursue semi-encirclements. Ukraine grapples with crew shortages and management issues, relying on technology for defense. The situation remains tense, with broader changes needed for a favorable outcome for Ukraine.

Catalunya, who led the project to restore the organ, told a news conference Monday that attendees were witnessing a grand development in the history of music. “This organ was buried with the hope that one day it would play again,” he says. “And the day has arrived, nearly eight centuries later.”

‘Nightmare bacteria’ cases are increasing in the US

SUMMARY: Government scientists say infection rates from drug-resistant “nightmare bacteria” have been increasing dramatically. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention scientists say rates rose almost 70% between 2019 and 2023. They published their findings Monday in the Annals of Internal Medicine. A subgroup of bacteria with a gene that provides a level of drug resistance that is extremely difficult to treat primarily drove the increase. The rate of those cases jumped more than 460% in recent years in 29 states. Once considered exotic, these bacteria are now more common in the U.S.

SUMMARY: Scientists have discovered a new dinosaur from Argentina that may have used its long arms and claws to capture prey. The new find was possibly 23 feet long and hailed from a mysterious group of dinosaurs called megaraptorans. Most of the fossils of the predator are fragments. In a new study, researchers say they uncovered part of a skull as well as arm, leg and tail bones from a rock formation in Argentina. The discovery could help scientists understand how these creatures fed and where they fall on the evolutionary timeline. The research was published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications.

MED--AUTISM-WHAT TO KNOW

What we know about autism’s causes and any potential link to Tylenol

SUMMARY: Many doctors and scientists were reeling after President Donald Trump went on TV to insist that pregnant women should never take Tylenol and revive debunked theories about vaccines and autism. Trump on Monday went beyond his own health regulators’ more modest advice that doctors “should consider minimizing” the painkiller’s use during pregnancy because of inconclusive research. Brain experts know there is no single cause of autism and say the rhetoric ignores decades of science into the genetic and environmental factors that can play a role. Autism rates are rising, but largely because of an expanded definition, more awareness and more screening.

REL--CHARLIE KIRK-RELIGIOUS LEGACY

Some admirers of Charlie Kirk hope response to his death signals start of a religious revival

SUMMARY: With Vice President JD Vance calling Charlie Kirk “a martyr for Christianity,” some Kirk admirers suggest his assassination will galvanize throngs of people — notably young conservatives — to become more engaged in evangelical and Catholic churches. Evocations of Kirk-inspired religious fervor surfaced almost immediately after his death on Sept. 10, and continued to swell as much of Sunday’s VIP-studded memorial service for the conservative activist resembled a massive megachurch service. There have been widespread reports of attendance surging at some evangelical churches. But a religious demographics expert says any surge might be brief, given there are no recent examples of an enduring religious revival after a civic trauma.

ENT--TV-JIMMY-KIMMEL

Jimmy Kimmel is set to return to his late-night show after ABC lifts suspension

SUMMARY: ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” is set to return to the air, with millions of people expected to watch to see how he addresses his nearly weeklong suspension. Another mystery is how many ABC affiliates will actually carry his return Tuesday. Kimmel’s suspension by ABC following remarks about the aftermath of conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s death triggered a national discussion about freedom of speech and President Donald Trump’s ability to police the words of journalists, commentators and even comics. The return reportedly came after negotiations between Kimmel and executives for ABC and its parent company, Walt Disney. ABC said Kimmel would return after the network had “thoughtful conversations” with the host.

Pamela Anderson leads the way for women who choose to go makeup free

SUMMARY: Pamela Anderson has embraced a makeup-free lifestyle at 58, attending fashion shows and film premieres with a bare face. She describes it as freeing, saying she’s not trying to be the prettiest in the room.

Stylists and beauty experts suggest focusing on skincare, using products with hydration and no-makeup tricks to enhance natural features. Stylist Natalie Tincher encourages using color and texture in clothing to make a statement. For some, ditching makeup feels liberating and cost-effective.

FBC--ACC-LEAGUE SCHEDULE

ACC moving to 9-game football schedule starting next year, aligning with rest of Power Four peers

SUMMARY: The Atlantic Coast Conference is moving to a nine-game league schedule for football while having teams play at least 10 games against power-conference opponents, though there will be variables due to the league’s odd number of football-playing member schools. Going from an eight- to a nine-game model would align the ACC with its power-conference peers in the Big 12, Big Ten and Southeastern conferences. The ACC would join the SEC in playing 10 games against Power Four opponents. The SEC announced its plans for a nine-game schedule last month.
