The Israeli spyware maker NSO says its chief executive has stepped down as the company prepares to reorganize. In a statement Sunday, NSO said that CEO Shalev Hulio, one of the company’s founders, would be stepping down. NSO has been connected to a number of scandals resulting from alleged misuse by customers of its flagship Pegasus phone surveillance software. Last year, the U.S. blacklisted the company, saying its tools had been used to “conduct transnational repression.” The company also plans to cut about 100 people, or 13% of its work force.
First lady Jill Biden has tested negative for the virus and will leave South Carolina, where she's been isolated since vacationing with President Joe Biden. Her office says the 71-year-old first lady will rejoin the president at their Delaware beach home later Sunday. Like her husband, Jill Biden has been twice-vaccinated and twice-boosted with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. The White House announced on Tuesday that she had tested positive for the coronavirus. The president himself recovered from a rebound case of the virus on Aug. 7. The first lady's office says Jill Biden was prescribed the antiviral drug Paxlovid and isolated at the Kiawah Island vacation home for five days before receiving negative results from two consecutive COVID-19 tests.
Prosecutors in Brooklyn are for the first time retrying a long-ago case they won with the help of a former homicide detective whose work has been questioned. Nearly 20 people have had decades-old convictions for murder and other crimes tossed out after accusing former Detective Louis Scarcella of framing them. Prosecutors agreed with most of those dismissals but stood by other convictions. This new retrial illustrates the tricky line the Brooklyn district attorney's office has been walking through a decade of doubts about the work of a onetime star homicide detective. Scarcella denies any wrongdoing.
There's no dispute about some of the evidence in the trial of two men accused of wanting to kidnap Michigan’s governor. Barry Croft Jr. and Adam Fox enjoy getting high. The jury repeatedly has heard about their marijuana use, mostly from the defense. Fox and Croft are charged with conspiring to abduct Gretchen Whitmer as part of an anti-government uprising in 2020. But defense lawyers say the two men were “big talkers” who sometimes said outrageous things when they had been smoking pot. Defense attorney Joshua Blanchard says Croft was “frankly high on marijuana all the time.” Fox’s attorney has also referred to marijuana when questioning witnesses. The government isn't making much of their drug use. Prosecutors say the men were dangerous extremists.
When the U.S. Supreme Court toppled the constitutional right to abortion, some prosecutors in cities and counties across the country vowed to refrain from enforcing new state-imposed bans on the procedure. Such promises may be hard to keep.
When Minneapolis teachers settled a 14-day strike earlier this year, they celebrated a groundbreaking provision in their new contract that was meant to shield teachers of color from traditional seniority-based layoffs. They said it was crucial in a district where more than 60% of students are from racial minorities to have teachers that look like them. Months later, that language has ignited a firestorm, with denunciations of the policy as racist and unconstitutional discrimination against white people. One legal group is seeking to recruit teachers willing to sue to void the language. But the teachers union paints the dispute as a ginned-up controversy when there’s no imminent danger of anyone losing their job.
Queen Elizabeth II has eaten jam sandwiches every day since she was a toddler, according to her former private chef. Darren McGrady claims on his YouTube channel that the monarch favors a strawberry preserve made from fruits picked in her Balmoral Castle grounds in Scotland. He claims the 96-year old monarch is also partial to fresh strawberries, which she will eat three or four days a weeks when they are in season. But the chef says woe betides anyone who tries to give her out-of-season berries. The Palace would not comment on the queen’s sandwich preferences.
Potential White House hopefuls from both parties often swing by Iowa’s legendary state fair during a midterm election year. It's a way for them to connect with voters who could sway the nomination process. But this year, the political traffic at the fair has been noticeably light. Democrats remain uncertain about President Joe Biden’s political future and many Republicans are avoiding taking on former President Donald Trump. Several would-be 2024 candidates have quietly made political inroads in Iowa by campaigning with state Republicans. But not everyone has shied away from the fairgrounds. Former Vice President Mike Pence visited on Friday, and Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan came last week.
A landmark social program is being pioneered in the nation’s capital. It's call “Baby Bonds” and it's designed to narrow the wealth gap. Children of Washington's poorest families would get up to $25,000 when they reach adulthood. The money is to be used for purposes such as college, investing in a business or making a down payment. In just over a decade, the Baby Bonds idea has moved from fringe concept on the left to actual policy. The District of Columbia is the first laboratory, and U.S. lawmakers are monitoring the experiment. The bonds are more accurately trust funds, designed to provide a boost of capital at a critical time in the lives of the country’s poorest children.

The most significant race in Florida's primary election Tuesday is between the two Democratic gubernatorial candidates seeking to go against Gov. Ron DeSantis, who's unopposed in the Republican primary. That race pits U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist against Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried. For the U.S. Senate, U.S. Rep. Val Demings faces three lesser-known candidates in the Democratic primary, and incumbent Republican Marco Rubio is unopposed. Voters also will choose candidates in primaries for attorney general, agriculture commissioner and U.S. House seats.
Georgia's Republican governor, Brian Kemp, and Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams have little wiggle room in their rematch this fall in the closely contested state. So Abrams is making it a point to remind Democratic-leaning voters that Kemp isn't a conventional moderate, even if he resisted Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Abrams says Kemp shouldn't be considered a “hero” just because he certified Joe Biden's slate of electors after the Democrat beat Trump in Georgia. Tens of thousands of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents cast GOP primary ballots in May to help Kemp trounce Trump's handpicked primary challenger. Abrams can't afford to have those voters stick with Kemp in November.
Attorneys for Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz are about to present their case for why they believe he should be sentenced to life in prison and not death. Lead public defender Melisa McNeill is expected to give her opening statement on Monday and then begin her team's case. They will be trying to persuade at least one juror that their 23-year-old client should not be executed for the 2018 massacre at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that left 17 dead. Prosecutors recently spend three weeks presenting their case. It included surveillance video of the shootings, graphic photos and a tour of the sealed off building, which remains bloodstained.
Pope Francis has expressed worry about the situation in Nicaragua following the detention of a Roman Catholic bishop and several priests. Calling for “open and sincere dialogue,” the pontiff made his first public comment on the raid of Matagalpa Bishop Rolando Alvarez’s residence. The detention of him and an unknown number of priests came amid worsening tensions between the church and a government increasingly intolerant of dissent. Francis told thousands of people gathered in St. Peter’s Square for his customary Sunday noon remarks that he was closely following with “worry and sorrow” events in Nicaragua that involve “persons and institutions.” He didn’t mention the detentions.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has been diagnosed with the coronavirus and has canceled his planned travels while he recuperates. Japanese media reports say Kishida developed a fever and cough late Saturday and tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday. The prime minister’s office was not immediately available for comment. Kishida was on summer vacation last week and scheduled to be back at work Monday. It’s not clear where or how he was infected. Kishida won't go in person to a conference on African development in Tunisia but will take part in it online, according to public broadcaster NHK.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — For the first time since the U.S. declared polio officially eradicated in 1979, Floridians are concerned about their odds of getting the disease.
The first day of a planned strike at Britain’s biggest container port has started. Almost 2,000 workers at the Port of Felixstowe walked off the job on Sunday over pay. The action raised fears of severe supply chain problems amid a series of summer walkouts by transportation workers that have disrupted economic activity across the country. The port located about 150 kilometers (93 miles) northeast of London handles around 4 million containers a year from 2,000 ships. That's almost half of the country’s incoming shipping freight. The port says workers were offered a pay raise “worth over 8% on average in the current year.”

The head of Logar province’s Natural Disaster Management Ministry said it was still unknown how many were killed and injured by the rising waters. He said there were at least nine fatalities, however.

UVALDE, Texas — Before the tragedy that ripped a ragged hole in the heart of this town, any fame it had accumulated came by way of its honey hives, a Tejano band, a vice president, governor, even the Queen of the West. A state football title didn’t quite pull the same rank locally. Didn’t ev…

At least 40 people have died and others are missing in flash floods triggered by intense monsoon rains in northern India over the past three days. An official government release Sunday said landslides and flooding in the Himalayan state of Himachal Pradesh have killed at least 36 people and hundreds were taking shelter in relief camps after being displaced. Four people were killed Saturday in the neighboring state of Uttarakhand in a series of cloudbursts. Disasters caused by landslides and floods are common in India’s Himalayan north during the June to September monsoon season. Last year, flash floods killed nearly 200 people and washed away houses in Uttarakhand.

Turkish authorities are investigating a pair of secondary crashes at emergency sites that killed at least 35 people. In both cases, first responders tending to earlier collisions were among the dead. The first tragedy happened Saturday morning when a passenger bus collided with emergency teams that had responded to a crash. Turkey's interior minister says three firefighters, two paramedics and two journalists were among the 15 people killed. Hours later, 20 people died when a truck ploughed into first responders and onlookers at the scene of a crash near a gas station. The interior minister says a police officer was among the victims and two drivers were detained.
Russian authorities say the daughter of a nationalist ideologist who is often referred to as “Putin’s brain” died in a car explosion on the outskirts of Moscow. The Investigative Committee branch for the Moscow region said the Saturday night blast was caused by a bomb planted in the SUV driven by Daria Dugina. The 29-year-old was the daughter of Alexander Dugin, a prominent proponent of the “Russian world” concept ideology and a vehement supporter of Russia’s sending of troops into Ukraine. Dugina expressed similar views and had appeared as a commentator on the nationalist TV channel Tsargrad. The explosion took place as Dugina was returning from a cultural festival she had attended with her father.

Somali authorities appear to have ended a deadly attack on a hotel in the capital in which at least 20 people were killed. It took Somali forces more than 30 hours to contain the gunmen who had stormed Mogadishu’s Hayat Hotel on Friday evening in an assault that started with loud explosions. Ismail Abdi, the hotel’s manager, told the AP on Sunday that while the siege has ended, security forces were still working to clear the area. The Islamic extremist group al-Shabab, which has ties with al-Qaida, claimed responsibility for the attack, the latest of its frequent attempts to strike places visited by government officials.
