      Ex-CIA officer launches presidential campaign aimed at thwarting Donald Trump

      A former CIA case officer who has served as top policy aide to House Republicans is launching an independent campaign for the presidency on Monday with the backing of veteranย GOPย strategists and donors determined to block Donald Trump fromย getting anywhere near the White House. Feeding off mounting discontent within GOP ranks over Trump, Evan McMullin โ€” who is resigning todayย as chief policy director for the House Republican Conference โ€” announced his campaign with an open โ€œLetter to Americaโ€ that took pointed shots at both the GOP nominee and Democrat Hillary Clinton.

      Ten-year-old boy on Kansas City waterslide died of neck injury-police

      Caleb Thomas Schwab died on Sunday at the Schlitterbahn waterpark on the Verrรผckt water slide, which sends riders plunging down 17 stories at up to 50 miles an hour (80 kph). Police and fire officials rushed to the scene after a report of an emergency and found the boy "dead from a fatal neck injury at the end of the ride, in the pool," the statement said. Park officials said in a statement that Schlitterbahn Kansas City would remain closed at least until Wednesday, while the slide would be shut down during the course of the investigation.

      A white man who apparently called police to complain about "hoodlums" near his house was charged with murder after he shot and killed a black man outside, authorities said. The shooting happened early Sunday morning when 39-year-old Chad Cameron Copley fired a shotgun from inside his garage and hit the victim, according to a Raleigh Police Department news release. Kouren-Rodney Bernard Thomas, 20, suffered a gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at a hospital.

      American, Australian kidnapped at gunpoint in Kabul

      Gunmen wearing police uniforms kidnapped an American and an Australian in the heart of Kabul, officials said Monday, the latest in a series of abductions of foreigners in the conflict-torn country. The two professors at the American University of Afghanistan were seized from their vehicle on Sunday evening, as the kidnappers smashed the passenger window and hauled them away at gunpoint. No group has so far claimed responsibility for the abductions, which come three days after a group of foreign tourists were ambushed by the Taliban in western Herat province, underscoring the growing insecurity in Afghanistan.

      U.S. recovers data recorder from sunken cargo ship El Faro

      The data recorder from the cargo ship El Faro, which sank near the Bahamas during a Caribbean hurricane last October, has been recovered, offering possible answers about why the vessel went down, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said on Tuesday. A U.S. Coast Guard panel in May revealed the ship's captain intended to avoid the brewing storm when he departed, but may have had outdated weather data.

      The Latest: Police: Boy died of neck injury on water slide

      Kansas City, Kansas, police say a 10-year-old boy who was killed while riding the world's tallest water slide died of a neck injury. Police say Caleb Schwab was one of three passengers riding in a boat Sunday on the Verruckt water slide at Schlitterbahn Waterpark. The Kansas park where a state lawmaker's 10-year-old son died on what's billed as the world's largest waterslide says the park is tentatively planning to reopen on Wednesday.

      Girl, 11, Dies From Brain-Eating Amoeba She Contracted While Swimming in River

      A South Carolina girl has died after contracting a brain-eating amoeba while swimming in a river. Hannah Collins, 11, was pronounced dead Friday, just three days after health authorities said aย Naegleria fowleriย infection โ€” the second in the Carolinasย this year โ€” had been confirmed. Officials didn't identify Hannah, but said they believed the patient had been exposed to the single-celled organismย while swimming in the Edisto River in Charleston County on July 24.

      It's Shooting-Star Time! How to Watch the Perseid Meteor Shower

      It's almost time for one of the best nighttime celestial shows of the year โ€” the Perseid meteor shower, a spectacular array of shooting stars that is expected to peak late Thursday night and early Friday morning (Aug. 11 and 12). Even better, skywatchers don't need any special equipment to watch the Perseids, said Bill Cooke, head of NASA's Meteoroid Environments Office at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama. "All you've got to do is go outside, find a nice dark spot, lie flat on your back and look up," Cooke told Live Science.

      Constitution Check: Is Section 3 of the Voting Rights Act a dead letter?

      Constitution Daily Supreme Court correspondent Lyle Denniston explains why a little-used section of the Voting Rights Act may not have much, if any, impact on federal voter identification lawsuits. ย โ€“ Excerpt from a decision July 29 by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, striking down a North Carolina law requiring a photo ID to be able to vote, along with other restrictions on access to voting.ย  The court ruled that the state legislature had passed those limitations with the specific intent of discriminating against black voters.ย  The decision came in the case of North Carolina Conference of NAACP v. McCrory. ย State officials have said they plan to take the case to the Supreme Court soon.
