US--CHARLIE KIRK SHOT

DNA evidence found near scene of Charlie Kirk’s shooting matches suspect, FBI director says

SUMMARY: FBI Director Kash Patel says DNA on a towel wrapped around a rifle found near where conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated matches that of the 22-year-old accused in the killing. Patel told Fox News Channel on Monday investigators also have used DNA to link suspect Tyler Robinson with a screwdriver recovered from the rooftop where the fatal shot was fired. Authorities in Utah are preparing to file capital murder charges against Robinson as early as Tuesday in the killing of Kirk, a dominant figure in conservative politics. Patel says Robinson wrote in a note before the shooting that he had an opportunity to take out Kirk. It’s unclear whether Robinson has an attorney.

US--CHARLIE KIRK SHOT-THINGS TO KNOW

What to know about the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination

SUMMARY: Authorities are still trying to learn more about what motivated the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk at a college in Utah, as authorities aim to bring formal charges this week against the man they arrested in connection with the killing. Tyler James Robinson, 22, of Washington, Utah, was arrested on suspicion of aggravated murder and other felony offenses. Prosecutors are drawing up formal charges that could be filed as early as Tuesday, when he will make his first court appearance. Investigators have spoken to Robinson’s relatives and carried out a search warrant at his family’s home in Washington, southwest of Utah Valley University, where the shooting took place.

US--MEDIA-KILMEADE-HOMELESS

Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade apologizes for saying mentally ill homeless people should be executed

SUMMARY: Fox News host Brian Kilmeade has apologized for advocating the execution of mentally ill homeless people. His earlier remarks, made on “Fox & Friends” Wednesday, began receiving wide circulation online over the weekend. On Sunday, Kilmeade called his remarks callous. Kilmeade and Fox colleagues had been discussing the August murder of a woman in North Carolina, for which a mentally ill homeless man was arrested. Fox host Lawrence Jones said such homeless people who don’t accept public services offered to them should be jailed. Kilmeade responded that they should be given an “involuntary lethal injection, or something.” He added: “Just kill ’em.”

US--TRUMP-CHINA

A framework deal on TikTok has been reached between the US and China

SUMMARY: A framework deal has been reached between China and the U.S. for the ownership of TikTok. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Monday after trade talks in Madrid that U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping would speak Friday to possibly finalize the deal. Bessent says the objective of the deal would be to switch to U.S. ownership. China’s official Xinhua news agency reports China’s international trade representative says the sides have reached “basic framework consensus.” During Joe Biden’s presidency, Congress and the White House used national security grounds to approve a U.S. ban on TikTok unless its Chinese parent company sold its controlling stake.

US--TRUMP-BRITAIN-ROYAL GAFFES

From Carter’s kiss to Trump’s step ahead: Famous presidential gaffes toward British royals

SUMMARY: U.S. presidents and first ladies have had their share of awkward moments with the British royal family over the years. Tabloids reported that President Jimmy Carter kissed the Queen Mother on the lips during a 1977 visit, though he said it was on the cheek. In 2007, President George W. Bush mistakenly suggested Queen Elizabeth II was more than 200 years old during a speech, leading to laughter. First lady Michelle Obama broke protocol in 2009 by touching the queen. In 2011, President Barack Obama forged ahead with a toast during the British national anthem. In 2018, President Donald Trump walked ahead of the queen at Windsor Castle.

US--CHARLIE KIRK-SHOT-CANCEL CULTURE

After Kirk’s killing a growing chorus of conservatives wants his critics ostracized or fired

SUMMARY: Some conservatives are targeting people and organizations they believe disparaged Charlie Kirk after his death. They’re pushing for firings and punishments, claiming these actions promote hate speech. This campaign has led to job losses for teachers, an Office Depot employee, and others. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said American Airlines grounded pilots who allegedly celebrated Kirk’s assassination. Some conservatives see Kirk as a free speech champion and are using similar tactics they once criticized. This situation highlights the nation’s political divisions and the role of social media in fueling outrage. Some Republicans blame traditional media for contributing to a toxic political climate.

Qatar hosts summit in response to Israeli strike on Hamas in Doha, seeking to restrain such attacks

SUMMARY: Qatar is hosting leaders of Arab and Islamic nations in the hopes of presenting a united response to Israel’s attack on Hamas leaders in Doha last week. But the group has few ways to restrain Israel as its war in the Gaza Strip grinds on. Israel launched its invasion of Gaza in response to Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack, and since then it has also retaliated against the militant group and other members of Iran’s so-called Axis of Resistance elsewhere. That’s led to wider anger among Mideast nations already enraged by the over 64,000 Palestinians killed during the war in Gaza. They also have a growing concern that the U.S. commitment to protect Gulf Arab states may not be strong enough. However, it’s unclear what the summit will be able to achieve.

West Africans deported by US to Ghana have all been sent to their home countries

SUMMARY: Ghana has sent 14 West Africans deported from the U.S. to their home countries, Nigeria and Gambia. Ghanaian authorities say they accepted them on humanitarian grounds. The group included 13 Nigerians and one Gambian. Ghana’s Foreign Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa said that the decision was not an endorsement of U.S. migration policies. A U.S. federal judge had asked the U.S. government to ensure Ghana wouldn’t send the deported migrants elsewhere. Opposition in Ghana criticized the move, arguing it raised constitutional and foreign policy concerns. None of the deportees were originally from Ghana.

Kim Seong-Min, defector whose radio broadcasts relayed foreign news to North Korea, dies at 63

SUMMARY: Kim Seong-Min, a prominent North Korean defector who used radio broadcasts, USB sticks and a network of sources in the secretive country to inform the North Korean public about the truth of their authoritarian government, has died. He was 63. Kim, founder of the Seoul-based Free North Korea Radio, was pronounced dead at a Seoul hospital on Friday, years after fighting a lung cancer which recently spread to his liver, his former colleagues said. The former North Korean army captain, who arrived in South Korea in 1999, began shortwave radio broadcasts into North Korea — where most of people have no official access to foreign news — in 2005.

British politicians condemn Elon Musk’s comments at anti-migrant rally

SUMMARY: Prime Minister Keir Starmer has condemned as dangerous comments by Elon Musk, who told an anti-immigration rally in London that violence is coming to Britain and urged people to fight back. The event organized by far-right campaigner Tommy Robinson saw violence by a minority of those attending with 26 police officers injured and 25 arrests. Starmer’s spokesman said, “The U.K. is a fair, tolerant and decent country, so the last thing the British people want is dangerous and inflammatory language.” Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey urged Starmer to consider sanctions against Musk. Starmer has emphasized the importance of peaceful protest and condemned violence against police and intimidation based on background or skin color.

Brazil’s Lula pushes back against tariff, tells Trump the country’s democracy ‘is not on the table’

SUMMARY: President Lula da Silva has called a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports to the U.S. “political” and “illogical.” In a New York Times op-ed, Lula says his government is open to negotiation but insists Brazil’s democracy and sovereignty are non-negotiable. U.S. President Donald Trump imposed the tariff in July, citing a “witch hunt” against former President Jair Bolsonaro. On Thursday, Brazil’s Supreme Court ruled Bolsonaro attempted a coup after losing the 2022 election to Lula. Lula praises the court’s decision, saying it safeguards Brazil’s institutions and democratic rule of law.

Wall Street ticks toward another record as Tesla vrooms higher

SUMMARY: Wall Street is ticking toward another record. The S&P 500 climbed 0.5% Monday and was on track to top its latest all-time high set last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 31 points, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 0.9%. Tesla jumped after Elon Musk bought stock worth roughly $1 billion in it, potentially signaling his faith in the electric vehicle company. The week’s main event will arrive Wednesday, when traders expect the Federal Reserve to announce its first cut to interest rates of the year. Perhaps more important will be whether it hints more cuts are coming, as Wall Street also expects.

Trump says the US should do away with quarterly earnings reports

SUMMARY: President Donald Trump wants to do away with the quarterly earnings report. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said securities regulators should stop requiring companies to issue financial reports every three months and instead switch to a six-month reporting period. The SEC has required publicly traded companies to report on a quarterly basis since 1970. Trump asked the Securities and Exchange Commission to examine the three- versus six-month reporting requirement during his first term. No change was made. Last week, the Long Term Stock Exchange said it planned to petition the SEC to do away with the quarterly requirement.

Workers commenting on Kirk’s death learn the limits of free speech in and out of their jobs

SUMMARY: In the days following the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, numerous workers have been fired for their comments on his death, among them MSNBC political analyst Matthew Dowd. It’s not the first time workers have lost their jobs over social media posts. Laws can vary across states, but overall, there’s very little legal protections for employees who are punished for speech made both in and out of private workplaces. And the prevalence of social media has made it increasingly common to track employees’ conduct outside of work.

This move comes ahead of the central bank’s vote on interest rates. Cook, the first Black woman to serve as a Fed governor, has been accused of mortgage fraud, which she denies. A federal judge ruled her removal illegal, but the administration appealed. This marks the first time a president has tried to fire a Fed governor.

Takeaways from AP’s report on a boom in mercury mining in central Mexico

SUMMARY: The soaring price of gold is fueling a mercury boom in central Mexico. A surge in the demand for the toxic metal, which is key in illegal gold mining, is benefiting Mexican miners but also exposing them and the environment to mercury poisoning. Despite global efforts to ban mercury mining, demand has skyrocketed, with prices increasing tenfold over 15 years. This trend poses significant health risks to miners and threatens the region’s biodiversity. Concerns are also growing that organized crime could exploit the increasingly precarious market.

One of his first events is a meeting Monday with President Donald Trump. He is also scheduled to make other appearances in the Washington and New York areas through September 25. That includes receiving the prestigious Templeton Prize in honor of his environmental advocacy. Bartholomew is considered first among equals among Orthodox patriarchs. That role gives him prominence, but not the power of a pope, because the church has various self-governing jurisdictions. Bartholomew oversees the small Orthodox population in mostly Muslim Turkey. He also oversees the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.

A small crowd attended the festivities Sunday outside the modest brick house in the village of Dolton, where the former Robert Prevost grew up. He was born in 1955 in Chicago, about 20 miles away. The village purchased the house in July in hopes of boosting tourism and claiming a piece of papal history of the first American pope.

Trump administration boosts HBCU funding after cutting grants for Hispanic-serving colleges

SUMMARY: The Trump administration is redirecting nearly $500 million in federal funding toward historically Black colleges and tribal colleges, a one-time investment covered primarily by other cuts to colleges serving large numbers of minority students. The Education Department announced the funding boost days after cutting $350 million from other grants, mostly from programs reserved for colleges that have large numbers of Hispanic students. Agency leaders said those grants were unconstitutional because they’re available only to colleges with certain minority enrollment thresholds. Education Secretary Linda McMahon said the changes will redirect money away from “from ineffective and discriminatory programs toward those which support student success.”

SUMMARY: Social media has a huge influence on skincare routines, often promoting complex do-it-yourself regimens aimed at keeping a youthful appearance. But dermatologists say many of these viral products are unnecessary, even if they feel nice, and some can cause more problems than they fix. Real experts recommend a simple routine including a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Protecting your face from the sun’s UV radiation is crucial. Retinol creams and chemical exfoliants can help smooth out wrinkles, but should be used carefully. And those really expensive products? Many share the same ingredients as the much cheaper ones.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Bengals are not expected to make an announcement until coach Zac Taylor’s news conference later Monday. It is Burrow’s third major injury in his six seasons since being the top overall pick in the 2020 draft. It’s a major blow to Cincinnati, which is off to its first 2-0 start since 2018 and has postseason aspirations after missing the playoffs the past two seasons.

Seahawks’ George Holani turns the Steelers’ blunder on a kickoff into a TD as Seattle wins 31-17

SUMMARY: George Holani pounced on a live ball in the end zone for an improbable touchdown, and the Seattle Seahawks took advantage of sloppy play by the Pittsburgh Steelers to pull off a 31-17 surprise. The Seahawks had taken a 3-point lead early in the fourth quarter on Jason Myers’ 54-yard field goal when the ensuing kickoff bounced over the hands of Steelers rookie Kaleb Johnson and into the end zone. While Johnson turned his back and walked toward the bench, Holani raced to the end zone and fell on the ball. That was enough for Seattle on a day that Aaron Rodgers struggled. Sam Darnold threw two TD passes for the Seahawks.

FBN--BROWNS-RAVENS

Jackson throws 4 TD passes, and the Ravens close strong in a 41-17 victory over the Browns

SUMMARY: Lamar Jackson threw four touchdown passes and Baltimore’s defense harrassed Joe Flacco throughout his return to Charm City as the Ravens dispatched the Cleveland Browns 41-17. After holding Cincinnati to 141 yards in a one-point loss to the Bengals last week, the Cleveland defense delivered another inspired performance, limiting Derrick Henry to just 23 yards on 11 rushing attempts and forcing the Ravens to work for every inch. But the Browns were mostly inept on offense. Flacco, the former Super Bowl-winning quarterback for the Ravens playing his first game in Baltimore as an opposing player, went 25 for 45 for 199 yards and a touchdown, with an interception and a lost fumble.
