More than 160 people are still missing after deadly Texas floods
AUSTIN — Over 160 people are still believed to be missing in Texas following deadly flash floods which killed more than 100 people during the weekend, the state’s governor said on Tuesday.The number tripled after local officials set up a hotline that families could call to report people believed to be missing.Many of those missing were likely staying in Texas’ Hill Country without officially registering at a camp or hotel, according to state governor Greg Abbot. He said most were reported missing in Kerr County, where most of the victims have been recovered so far.Texas inspectors reportedly signed off on the emergency planning of Camp Mystic just two days before the deadly flooding.

Netanyahu plays into Trump’s hopes for Middle East peace, nominates him for a Nobel Prize
WASHINGTON — When Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived at the White House Monday for dinner, he came bearing what has become the ultimate host gift for President Donald Trump: a letter nominating him for a Nobel Peace Prize.The award has become Trump’s ultimate fixation, one he says is well deserved for his efforts to end conflicts around the globe, including the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.A lasting resolution to that 21-month conflict will depend, in part, on Netanyahu’s willingness to accept a deal that stops the fighting entirely – something Trump planned to press him on during Monday’s dinner in the White House Blue Room.Before the meal was served, however, Netanyahu was quick to burnish Trump’s peace-making abilities, even as negotiators were still...

BRICS leaders slam tariffs and Iran conflict at summit in Brazil
RIO DE JANEIRO — The BRICS group of nations condemned the increase in tariffs and the recent Iran conflict, but refrained from pointing a finger at US President Donald Trump at their summit in Brazil on SundayThe group’s declaration, which also took aim at Israeli military actions in the Middle East, spared its founding member Russia from criticism and mentioned Ukraine — against which Moscow continues to wage its all-out war since early 2022 — only once.The bloc issued a declaration in which they raised “serious concerns” about the rise of tariffs, saying they were “inconsistent with WTO (World Trade Organisation) rules.”In an indirect swipe at the US, they said those restrictions ”threaten to reduce global trade, disrupt global supply chains and introduce...

Trump calls Musk's new political party 'ridiculous'
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has hit out at former close ally Elon Musk over the multi-billionaire's plan to launch a new political party."I think it's ridiculous to start a third party," said Trump, speaking to reporters on Sunday before boarding Air Force One. "It's always been a two-party system and I think starting a third party just adds to the confusion."After teasing the idea for weeks, Musk posted on X over the weekend that he had set up the America Party to challenge the Republican and Democratic "Uniparty".Trump and Musk were formerly close allies, with the Tesla boss leading the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), which is tasked with helping to cut federal spending.Musk has repeatedly criticised government policies...

Trump lands first major legislative win after Congress passes his massive domestic policy bill
WASHINGTON — Republican lawmakers have handed President Donald Trump the first major legislative achievement of his second term, following a fierce arm-twisting campaign by GOP leaders to unite a deeply divided party behind his sweeping domestic agenda.House Republicans voted Thursday afternoon to approve Trump’s massive package of tax and federal spending cuts and funding boosts for the Pentagon and border security, clearing the bill to be sent to the White House for his signature. The Senate passed the bill earlier in the week.The landmark victory for Republicans comes just six months into Trump’s second administration – a rapid timeline that appeared in question up until the final vote. The president and his Capitol Hill allies ratcheted up pressure on party holdouts in recent...

‘Morally repugnant’: US Cardinal hits out at Trump’s immigration policy
ROME — A prominent Catholic Church leader and ally of Pope Leo XIV has strongly criticized the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, describing the rounding up and deportation of immigrants as “inhumane” and “morally repugnant.” In a wide-ranging interview with CNN, Cardinal Robert McElroy, the Archbishop of Washington, DC, also voiced strong opposition to Trump’s major tax and spending bill, warned of the risks of US and Israeli strikes on Iran, and discussed his view of the role of women in the church. “It’s right to be able to control our borders. However, what’s going on now is something far beyond that,” the cardinal told CNN on Tuesday. “It is a mass, indiscriminate deportation of men and women and children and families which literally rips...

US Supreme Court allows Trump to deport migrants held in Djibouti to South Sudan
WASHINGTON — The US Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for the Trump administration to deport to South Sudan a group of migrants who have been held for weeks on a military base in Djibouti.The high court’s unsigned order came days after a majority of justices allowed the administration to deport certain migrants to countries other than their homeland with little notice. But that June 23 decision kicked off a legal skirmish about the specific group of migrants being held in Djibouti.A lower court had put their removal back on hold, prompting the Trump administration to race up to the Supreme Court. The court’s decision Thursday sided with the administration, over the dissent of two liberal justices, and allowed officials to remove the migrants at issue to South Sudan.The...
