      Pakistan says traces of explosives detected in bus blast probe

      Pakistan said on Thursday traces of explosives had been detected during an initial investigation into a bus blast that killed 13 people, including nine Chinese workers, and said a terrorist attack could not be ruled out as the cause of the incident. Wednesday's blast in northwest Pakistan sent the bus hurtling over a ravine. Beijing initially said it was a bomb attack but later backed away from the assertion and said it would send a team to help investigate.

      Biden grappling with 'pandemic of the unvaccinated'

      Two weeks after celebrating America's near “independence” from the coronavirus, President Joe Biden is confronting the worrying reality of rising cases and deaths — and the limitations of his ability to combat the persistent vaccine hesitance responsible for the summer backslide. Cases of COVID-19 have tripled over the past three weeks, and hospitalizations and deaths are rising among unvaccinated people. While the rates are still sharply down from their January highs, officials are concerned by the reversing trendlines and what they consider needless illness and death. “Look, the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated,” Biden said Friday, echoing comments made earlier in the day by Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

      Russia transfers ex-U.S. Marine to region with tough Soviet-era prisons

      A former U.S. Marine who is serving a nine-year sentence in Russia was being transferred from a remand cell in Moscow on Friday to the Mordovia region which has a large number of tough, Soviet-era prisons. Trevor Reed was convicted last year of endangering the lives of two policemen in Moscow while drunk, a charge he denied. He said the ruling was "clearly political", and Washington called the trial "theatre of the absurd".

      Trump reportedly made an ominous comment to his national security advisers days before the Capitol riot

      Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley was on the outs with former President Donald Trump for months before he left office, but their final interaction reportedly left things on an ominous note. The New Yorker reports that Trump gathered Milley, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and other advisers for a Jan. 3 meeting about Iran, hoping to take military action. The national security team finally persuaded Trump against a missile strike, so Trump pivoted to chat about his upcoming rally on Jan. 6, the day Congress was set to certify his election loss.

      Biden digs in on U.S. public lands nominee as Republican opposition mounts

      The White House on Friday backed President Joe Biden's nominee to lead the nation's public lands bureau, pushing back against growing calls to withdraw the nomination from key Republican lawmakers. Earlier, U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell joined calls by several Republican Senate colleagues for Biden to withdraw the nomination of Montana conservationist Tracy Stone-Manning to run the Bureau of Land Management due to her ties to a decades-old tree-spiking incident. Tree spiking involves hammering a metal rod into a tree to prevent logging.

      South African says riots over Zuma jailing pre-planned - Cyril Ramaphosa

      Riots were sparked by the jailing of former President Jacob Zuma. Police officers have been protecting deliveries of food to supermarkets after days of widespread looting led to shortages. An estimated $1bn (£720m) worth of stock was stolen in KwaZulu-Natal with at least 800 retail shops looted, a mayor in the province said.

Dbeibah, a businessman appointed interim prime minister in February, said he has not yet decided whether to run for office.

      Iowa duo deny any involvement in Mollie Tibbetts' death

      Two childhood friends named by defense lawyers as alternate suspects in the killing of University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts said Friday they had nothing to do with the crime. Lawyers for Cristhian Bahena Rivera, the man convicted of killing Tibbetts, named Gavin Jones and Dalton Hansen as perhaps responsible for Tibbetts' 2018 stabbing death in court filings this week. They made that assertion after inmate Arne Maki came forward in May to say Jones told him that Jones and Hansen killed Tibbetts after she was kidnapped and briefly held at a home used for sex trafficking.

      Pope Francis renews curbs on Latin Mass in rebuff to conservatives

      Pope Francis on Friday overturned decisions by his two predecessors and re-imposed restrictions on the old-style Latin Mass preferred by traditionalist Roman Catholics, saying it was being exploited to divide the Church. Conservative groups reacted with dismay and anger to the latest episode of what some have dubbed the Church's "liturgy wars". Some conservatives in the Church, particularly in the United States and some European countries, have used the Latin Mass as a battle cry in their general opposition to the reforms of the 1962-1965 Second Vatican Council, which included the introduction of Mass in vernacular languages.

      The US has issued a warning to firms over the risks of doing business in Hong Kong after China imposed a new national security law there last year. A new business advisory tells multinational firms that they are subject to the laws and that their people could be arrested under them. Other risks may include having to surrender data to Chinese authorities.

      Crestview Towers violated 39 safety codes, city says. It will remain closed to residents.

      Crestview Towers, the condominium tower that the city of North Miami Beach shut down and evacuated due to structural concerns about the building's safety, has amassed 39 code violations, including failing to have a working fire alarm system. “Because Miami-Dade Fire Rescue has now deemed the building unsafe, Crestview Towers must remain closed and unoccupied until the violations are resolved,” the city said Friday evening in a press release. Last Friday, July 9, a week after the city shuttered the building, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue reinspected the building and found the 39 code violations, including the non-working fire alarm system and a non-working emergency generator, the city said.

      Raquel Oliveira, a mom who lost her husband, Alfredo Leone, and 5-year-old son, Lorenzo Leone, in the Surfside condo collapse, is painfully aware of how irreplaceable those items are and how much strength it will take her to get through life without them. “She is an extremely strong woman, grounded and really intelligent, and she is suffering in ways we can't imagine; but not having anything to remember them by, not a single object, that's just beyond tragic,” said Katia Pirozzi, a close friend who lives in Deerfield Beach, her voice cracking with emotion. Leone, 48, and Lorenzo later were among the people identified in the wreckage of the beachfront building.

      Juiced Up Trump Fanatics Plotted to Blow Up Democratic HQ, Feds Say

      Two Trump fanatics who abused steroids and had access to a disturbing home arsenal plotted to blow up a Democratic building in the wake of Biden's win—and even reached out to the Proud Boys for help, according to new indictments unsealed Thursday. According to court documents filed by DOJ attorneys in the Northern District of California, Ian Benjamin Rogers, 45, of Napa, and Jarrod Copeland, 37, of Vallejo started plotting to attack Democratic targets as early as November, after former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election. Text messages recovered from Rogers' phone showed an effort to keep Trump in power at all costs, and showed that he intended to attack Democrats and places associated with Democrats in an effort to keep Trump in office, DOJ officials said.

    • “They are rightly concerned about overreaching and appear resolved in each case to decide no more than need be decided.”

    • “Single out the cases that really matter … and the court doesn’t look so unpredictable or nonpartisan.”
