US stocks drift after oil prices ease and Big Tech stocks fall

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks drifted through a mixed day of trading on Monday after oil prices eased and falling Big Tech stocks weighed on Wall Street.

The S&P 500 slipped 0.4%, coming off its 11th winning week in the last 12, and pulled 1.8% below its all-time high set early this month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 148 points, or 0.3%, and the Nasdaq composite slumped 1.3%.

In the oil market, prices fell following talks over the weekend between the United States and Iran on their war. U.S. Vice President JD Vance said they created a “good foundation for a successful final deal.”

An end to the war could clear the Strait of Hormuz for oil tankers and allow for the undisputed resumption of deliveries from the Persian Gulf. Iran’s military had said Saturday that it closed the Strait of Hormuz again, though U.S. Central Command has disputed that.

U.S. stocks are drifting near their records.

The price for a barrel of Brent crude oil fell 3.2% to $77.52, closer to its roughly $70 price from before the war. Benchmark U.S. crude oil fell 2.6% to $73.86 per barrel.

The lower oil prices, though, did not pull down Treasury yields in the bond market. Yields have been climbing because of speculation the Federal Reserve may hike interest rates this year to keep a lid on inflation, which has been accelerating because of expensive oil caused by the Iran war. Economists expect a report on Thursday to show a measure of inflation for U.S. consumers sped up to 4.1% in May from 3.8% in April.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury climbed to 4.50% from 4.46% late Thursday and from just 3.97% before the war.

Traders are betting on a nearly 90% chance the Fed will raise its federal funds rate at least once by the end of the year, with a small minority calling for four increases. That’s up from the 57% chance seen just a week ago, according to data from CME Group.

High yields in bond markets worldwide caused by worries about inflation are threatening to slow economies, and they have already sent rates higher for mortgages and other kinds of loans. High yields also hurt prices for investments, particularly those seen as the most expensive. That raises the pressure on companies whose stock prices have soared in the mania around artificial-intelligence technology.

SpaceX fell 16.4% to $154.60. It’s the third straight drop for the company behind xAI since a big three-day run following its ballyhooed debut on the U.S. stock market, when it initially sold its stock at $135 per share.

The day’s heaviest weights on the S&P 500 included drops of 5% for Alphabet, 4.7% for Amazon and 4.5% for Broadcom.

Elsewhere on Wall Street, AbbVie climbed 6.2% after saying it agreed to buy Apogee Therapeutics and its potential treatments for patients with dermatologic, respiratory and other related inflammatory and immunological diseases.

Apogee Therapeutics soared 46.7% following the announcement of the deal, valued at roughly $10.9 billion.

All told, the S&P 500 fell 27.79 points to 7,472.79. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 148.01 to 51,712.71, and the Nasdaq composite fell 351.33 to 26,166.60.

In stock markets abroad, the United Kingdom’s FTSE 100 rose 0.7% after Keir Starmer said he was stepping down as leader of the governing Labour Party and will leave office within weeks.

In Asia, Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 jumped 1.5% and ended at another all-time high, led by AI stocks. South Korea’s Kospi rose 0.7% to its own record, helped by AI-related companies.

US Coast Guard helicopter crashes during training flight in Alaska, no deaths reported: USCG

(ALASKA) -- No deaths have been reported after a United States Coast Guard helicopter crashed during a training flight in Alaska, the Coast Guard said Monday.

A Coast Guard MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter carrying four people crashed near Harbor Mountain in Sitka, near Juneau, according to the U.S. Coast Guard Arctic District. The incident was reported shortly after 10 a.m. local time.

The four crew members were transported to an area hospital, according to the Coast Guard, which did not release any details on their condition.

The cause of the crash is under investigation, the Coast Guard said.

"The safety, well-being, and rescue of our crew members is our absolute, immediate priority," the Coast Guard said. "A formal investigation will be conducted to determine the circumstances surrounding the event."

Millions of honeybees escape into a rural Texas neighborhood after a semitrailer crash

ORANGE COUNTY (AP) – Millions of honeybees escaped into a rural Texas neighborhood after a semitrailer carrying about 400 hives tipped over, officials said.

Emergency officials in Orange County, Texas, shut down roads in the area Sunday morning and warned residents to stay in their homes while crews worked to unload the trailer and salvage as many hives as possible. The county is located east of Houston and borders Louisiana.

No bee stings or serious injuries were immediately reported. Officials haven’t identified the owner of the hives.

Christie Ray, who owns nearby Queen Bee Supply, said volunteers from three or four other beekeeping businesses in the area went to the crash scene Sunday to help.

“They just help each other, that’s what they do,” Ray said. “The beekeeping community is a great community.”

Chris Moore, owner of Moore Honey, along with his son and several employees, joined the effort to help the bees, but he estimated that only about a quarter of the 408 hives will survive. It mostly depends on how many queens remain alive after the crash, he said.

The potential impact on a beekeeping business following a loss like this depends on the size of the apiary. Moore pointed out that the keeper is losing not only the hives but also the revenue they could be generating.

“It’s a big loss,” Moore said. “Any time you lose that many in one shot, it’s a big loss.”

It’s common for large beekeeping operations to move hives around the country to provide commercial pollination for agriculture in places like California and to follow blooming seasons throughout the South and the Midwest for honey production.

The hives that crashed Sunday had only traveled a few miles on a trip to North Dakota when the truck driver took a wrong turn and ended up in a neighborhood with narrow roads, Moore said. The driver was trying to navigate a tight corner when the trailer fell over.

Other local keepers have put out catch boxes to collect remaining strays, but it will likely take a while for the insects to clear out of the area, Moore said.

In April, a crash involving a truck full of bees slowed interstate traffic near Knoxville, Tennessee.

Nancy Guthrie abduction: 2nd ransom note sent to Tucson TV station said she died, sources say

A second ransom note received by a Tucson, Arizona, television station following the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie said she died shortly after her abduction, sources familiar with the investigation told ABC News.

Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie, was kidnapped from her Tucson, Arizona, home in the early hours of Feb. 1.

In the days after Nancy Guthrie's disappearance, various ransom notes were sent to the media.

The Guthrie family received two notes that were sent to Tucson media outlets that investigators deemed potentially credible and the FBI had tried to trace their origin.

The first note demanded cryptocurrency for Nancy Guthrie's return. The second note, according to sources, said she had died shortly after she was taken and was buried in nature.

The notes were received within days of Nancy Guthrie's disappearance, but ABC News has not previously disclosed the contents of the second note.

Shortly after receiving the second note, Savannah Guthrie posted a statement in a Feb. 7 Instagram post.

"We received your message and we understand," Savannah Guthrie said at the time. "We beg you now to return our mother to us. ... This is very valuable to us, and we will pay."

Images from Nancy Guthrie's doorbell camera showing a masked man at her house were released early on in the investigation, but the 84-year-old's whereabouts remain unknown and the suspect remains unidentified.

In March, Savannah Guthrie spoke out in her first interview, telling her friend and former co-host Hoda Kotb, "Honestly, we don't know anything."

Savannah Guthrie said her family "cannot be at peace" without answers and she pleaded for anyone with information to come forward.

"Someone can do the right thing, and it is never too late to do the right thing," she said.

Anyone with information is urged to call 911, the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI, or the Pima County Sheriff's Department at 520-351-4900.

July 4th safety tips

Tyler – As families across East Texas prepare to celebrate Independence Day, UT Health East Texas is reminding the community to put safety first. Each year, thousands of people nationwide require medical treatment for fireworks-related injuries during the July 4 holiday, with children and young adults among those most affected.

While many serious injuries involve professional-grade or illegal fireworks, even small devices like firecrackers and sparklers can cause significant harm.

“We see a wide range of injuries in the emergency room during the Fourth of July holiday,” said Brittany Ray, RN, trauma services education and injury prevention specialist. “Even sparklers burn at about 2,000 degrees, hot enough to melt some metals, making them especially dangerous for children.” Continue reading July 4th safety tips

UT Tyler baseball coach resigns after back-to-back World Series appearances

TYLER (KETK) – UT Tyler head baseball coach Brent Porche has resigned from his role after coaching the Patriots to back-to-back NCAA DII College World Series appearances in their last two seasons, according to our news partner KETK. UT Tyler Director of Athletics Sam Ferguson announced on Monday that Porche is resigning from his role in order to become a financial advisor for New York Life Insurance.

“Coach Porche has done an incredible job with our baseball program,” Ferguson said. “He led us to a Division III NCAA Championship and most recently back-to-back NCAA II College World Series. It takes elite coaching to pull off that kind of success on the field. However, I’m more grateful for the ways he has poured into our guys and developed them as men. Our mission is to mold student-athletes into champions of character, champions of competition and champions in their careers – Coach Porche’s program accomplished that mission.”

Porche signed on with UT Tyler baseball in 2017 and earned a 345-151 win-loss record in his ten seasons at the helm. Porche’s record means he has the most wins of any head baseball coach in program history.

“Since I was 14 years old, it has been my dream to be a college baseball coach,” Porche said. “Through the sacrifices of so many, my grandparents, my parents Chris and Belinda, and most of all my wife Crystal and our boys Braiden and Owen, I was able to live that dream for the past 18 years. I’m so incredibly thankful to so many who have made this the most rewarding 18 years of my life.”

Under Porche, the Patriots won the DIII NCAA World Series title in 2018 before they moved up to the DII level. Since the move, the Patriots have been to the DII NCAA World Series twice, both births came in their past two seasons under Porche.

Last season, Porche led the Patriots to a 50-14 record, a Lone Star Conference regular season title and the Lone Star Conference tournament title.

“Tyler and this baseball program have become my home,” Porche said on Monday. “To my players, I can’t thank all of you enough for believing in me and giving me everything that you possibly could. It has been the honor and privilege of my life to have been your coach. I will miss the relationships, watching guys grow in the game and in their lives, but I won’t be far and I can promise you I will be the biggest Patriot baseball fan there is.”

Porche started his career as a head coach at LSU Alexandria, where he earned a 147-83 win-loss record in the Generals’ 2013-2016 seasons. In total, Porche ends his career as a coach with a 492-232 win-loss record and a .678 winning percentage.

“I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built,” Porche said. “This program has always had an incredibly high standard of excellence, and I believe we did our part to carry that forward and elevate it. I look forward to watching the Patriots win many more LSC Championships, future trips to Cary, and bringing home a National Championship! Go Pats!”

The Patriots will announce their new head coach at a press conference in their Alumni House on Tuesday.

Dream’s Angel Reese sets WNBA mark for fewest games to 1,000 career rebounds

ATLANTA (AP) — Angel Reese became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 1,000 career rebounds in the Atlanta Dream’s 113-96 win against the Indiana Fever on Saturday.

Reese achieved the feat in 79 career games, 10 games faster than Tina Charles, the previous record holder.

The 6-foot-4 forward reached the milestone with 4:29 remaining in the third quarter. She finished the game with 18 points and eight rebounds.

“I think people don’t realize rebounding is harder than you think,” Reese said after the game while reflecting on her record. “Defensive rebounds are a little bit easier than going in and crashing every single time to give a second chance opportunity on the offensive end.”

Reese tops the WNBA with 11.9 rebounds per game this season.

The Atlanta newcomer has received criticism for getting rebounds from her own missed shots.

“You can look statistically, not just for my shots, but for my teammates’, it gives us more points, it gives us more opportunities. Just being able to go out and do what I do every single night just shows my consistency,” she said.

Reese is taking the moment to give herself some credit, though she admits it’s tough to do when she has her sights set on bigger things.

“A lot of the time I’m really hard on myself, what I want to be and how great I want to be, but I’m just taking my time and knowing that I’ve done some great things. I’m just patting myself on the back and knowing that I want more.”

Oilers re-sign defenseman Connor Murphy to a 5-year, $20.5 million contract

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — The Edmonton Oilers re-signed defenseman Connor Murphy to a five-year contract worth $20.5 million on Monday.

The team announced the deal roughly 24 hours after extending center Jason Dickinson for the next five seasons at $20 million. Murphy and Dickinson joined Edmonton in separate deals from Chicago as pending unrestricted free agents ahead of the trade deadline in early March.

Murphy, like Dickinson, improved the Oilers’ ability to keep the puck out of their own net. Their goals-against average was 3.34 in the 62 games before acquiring them and dropped to 2.90 in the final 20 games of the regular season with them.

That number shot up to 4.33 in a first-round loss to Anaheim, though that also included goaltenders Tristan Jarry and Connor Ingram combining for a playoff-worst .866 save percentage.

General manager Stan Bowman could address the goaltending situation via trade or free agency, and he and the front office need to hire a coach after firing Kris Knoblauch, who led consecutive trips to the Stanley Cup in 2024 and ’25.

Re-signing Murphy, 33, is part of the organization’s commitment to being better defensively in an effort to finally get Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl their first championship after more than a decade in the NHL together. Murphy has skated in 840 games in the league with the Coyotes, Blackhawks and Oilers.

Hawks agree to acquire Wiggins from Thunder, AP source says. They also extend McCollum

ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Hawks have agreed to a deal to acquire wing Aaron Wiggins from the Oklahoma City Thunder, a person with knowledge of the agreement told The Associated Press on Monday.

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal, first reported by ESPN, has not been announced. The Thunder will receive second-round draft picks in 2030 and 2032.

Wiggins joins the Hawks after a five-year stint with the Thunder, which he helped win the 2025 NBA championship.

Wiggins, 27, averaged 9.4 points and 3.1 rebounds last season. He started 21 of 65 games. He averaged 12 points during the 2024-25 season.

The Hawks also gave guard C.J. McCollum a one-year, $21 million deal.

“We’re really excited to have C.J. back,” president of basketball operations and general manager Onsi Saleh said Monday. “You guys saw what he did last season when he came in. He’s been an ultimate professional veteran for our team. The guy can hoop, just an amazing basketball player. So we’re super excited to have C.J. back here and bring that continuity together.”

The Hawks have two first-round picks in the NBA draft on Tuesday night. The addition of Wiggins and the new deal with McCollum strengthens the team’s perimeter game entering the draft.
McCollum was acquired alongside Corey Kispert in the January trade that sent four-time All-Star Trae Young to the Washington Wizards. The 6-foot-3 point guard quickly worked his way into the Hawks’ starting lineup, replacing 2024 No. 1 pick Zaccharie Risacher.

The 34-year-old added veteran presence to a starting five that included first-time All-Star Jalen Johnson, 2026 NBA Most Improved Player Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels and Onyeka Okongwu.

He averaged 18.7 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 41 regular-season games with Atlanta. McCollum helped the Hawks to two wins in the first round of the NBA playoffs against the eventual champion New York Knicks — a feat that no other team was able to accomplish in the postseason.

Approaching his 14th year in the league, McCollum spent nine years with the Trail Blazers before stints with the Pelicans and Wizards.

Saleh said he feels confident about having picks Nos. 8 and 23 in the draft.

“We’re really excited about adding a couple of guys and seeing how the process goes,” Saleh said. “We’ve said this before, no skipping steps. We want to grow this thing out organically, and I just feel like we’re going to add two really good players tomorrow in the draft, and we have a lot of opportunities moving forward with this group.”

Mike Boynton promoted to interim coach at Michigan as Dusty May leaves for the NBA, AP source says

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Michigan is promoting Mike Boynton to interim basketball coach to replace Dusty May, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Monday.

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the decision had not been announced.

May and the Dallas Mavericks are finalizing a contract for him to make the jump to the NBA, another person with knowledge of the deal told the AP. That person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal wasn’t completed.

The Wolverines were suddenly searching for a coach with big sneakers to fill and didn’t take much time to make a move.

Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel chose to give the former Oklahoma State coach another chance to lead a program, hoping the continuity would help convince players on the roster to stay.

Boynton recruited Cade Cunningham to play for Cowboys in 2020 even though they were facing NCAA penalties from rule violations under a former assistant coach. Two years ago, Boynton was fired with a 119-109 record over seven seasons.

May said during the NCAA Tournament that his top assistant should get another shot to lead a team.

“He’s an elite basketball coach,” May said in April. “He did a really good job at Oklahoma State, especially considering the circumstances.

Former Wimbledon champion Vondrousova suspended for 4 years for refusing doping test

LONDON (AP) – Former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova was suspended for four years on Monday for refusing an anti-doping test, the latest high-profile player sanctioned.

The Czech cited “mental stress” and fear when the testing agent “rang my door late at night without properly identifying themselves.”

The International Tennis Integrity Agency made the announcement, saying Vondrousova refused a test in December and the maximum four-year ban for a routine first offense was reached by an independent tribunal following a hearing this month.

Vondrousova became Wimbledon’s first unseeded female champion when she beat Ons Jabeur in the 2023 final. She reached a career-high ranking of No. 6 that year. She also reached the French Open final in 2019, losing to Ash Barty.

The 26-year-old Vondrousova detailed her reaction to the missed test in an Instagram post in April.

“It is very tough for me to talk about this, but I want to be transparent with you about my mental health,” Vondrousova said. “The recent doping control incident happened because I reached a breaking point after months of physical and mental stress.”

The ITIA said Vondrousova “did not submit a sample when notified by a Doping Control Officer during an out-of-competition test attempt at her home at around 8 p.m. on 3 December 2025” and that she instead signed a refusal form.

“I have never doped. I have never had a positive test,” Vondrousova wrote on Instagram after the ruling was released. “Throughout my entire career, I have undergone countless anti-doping controls and have always stepped onto the court with a clear conscience. Just three days after the incident that ultimately changed my life, I was tested again. The result was negative. Just like every test before it.”

Vondrousova was represented by Los Angeles-based lawyer Howard Jacobs, a specialist in doping rules cases. Jacobs helped two-time Grand Slam singles champion Simona Halep win an appeal case in 2024 at the Court of Arbitration for Sport against a four-year ban for doping.

Vondrousova becomes the latest high-profile tennis player involved in a doping case after Halep, Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek.

Sinner accepted a three-month ban in a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency at the start of last year and Swiatek accepted a one-month suspension at the end of 2024.

Halep, Sinner and Swiatek each proved they were not entirely responsible for their positive tests.

“We recognize this is a significant ban,” ITIA CEO Karen Moorhouse said. “You can’t have an anti-doping system where a player is in a better place by refusing to take a test than they would by taking a test and testing positive. So that feeds into the structure of the doping rules that provides for a starting point in the four-year ban for refusing to take a test.”

Vondrousova’s ban expires June 21, 2030. She can appeal the decision to the Switzerland-based CAS.

During a hearing before the tribunal, Vondrousova presented explanations that stress and poor mental health affected her decision making, in addition to concerns for her safety because she claimed the tester did not identity herself.

The tribunal also took testimony from the doping control officer and concluded the evidence offered “no compelling justification” for the test refusal.

Tennis players and other pro athletes are required by anti-doping rules to specify where they will be available for a one-hour period each day to give samples for testing.

The female testing agent showed up at Vondrousova’s home outside the assigned hour that the player signed up for that day — in a surprise test. Athletes are required to submit for testing if they are located for a surprise test outside their assigned hour. If they are not found when a tester shows up outside assigned hours, there is no sanction.

“Unpredictable testing is an essential tool to protect clean sport,” Moorhouse said. “The independent tribunal ultimately supported that principle. This case is an important reminder that players can be tested at any time, in any place, and that refusal comes with significant risk.”

The ITIA would not say if any inconsistencies were found in Vondrousova’s previous anti-doping history.

“We wouldn’t disclose that,” said Nicole Sapstead, the ITIA’s senior director of anti-doping, adding: “We look at all things like that.”

Vondrousova, ranked 122, hasn’t played since January.

Wimbledon starts next week.

Ebola cases in DRC surpass 1,000 as UNICEF warns millions of children at risk

(NEW YORK) -- The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has surpassed 1,000 Ebola cases as the country's deadly outbreak continues.

The DRC Ministry of Health reported 1,003 confirmed cases and 254 confirmed deaths as of Sunday evening. There are 365 patients either hospitalized or in isolation, according to the ministry.

Contact tracing remains a concern, officials said. The Ministry of Health said only 58% of identified contacts have been followed up with, far below the desired 90% to 95% target needed to contain the outbreak, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Bonheur Baeni, project manager for the Ebola emergency for the humanitarian NGO CARE, told ABC News that there has been a great amount of misinformation in affected communities that has made it difficult to contain the virus.

"It is in fact among the great challenges, the misinformation that is characterized by rumors, rumors that circulate on social networks, rumors that also circulate mouth-to-mouth," he told ABC News in French. "It really makes the population resistant."

Baeni said the group is working with the Ministry of Health and other partners to engage with the community and answer questions that people have. They are also working with trusted leaders within the community to help combat the misinformation.

"You see that it creates a climate of trust," Baeni said. "It creates a confidence climate because it's their brother, it's a member of the community."

The Ministry of Health wrote on X that "response teams continue active investigations, epidemiological surveillance, and prevention actions in affected areas."

Health officials added that eight more people have recovered from Ebola, bringing the total number of recoveries to 100.

Meanwhile, UNICEF warned on Monday that an estimated 2.95 million children and adolescents aged 18 and under -- representing 54% of the population in 31 affected health zones -- are at risk from Ebola and the breakdown of essential services in the eastern DRC.

"Our teams in Ituri [province] have met children who have lost their mothers, and in some cases both parents, to Ebola," Catherine Russell, UNICEF executive director, said in a statement. "Children are trying to make sense of the threat while surrounded by rumors and online misinformation."

UNICEF said children and adolescents make up about 15% of confirmed Ebola cases and more than 25% of confirmed deaths in the eastern DRC as of June 19, and that children and adolescents with confirmed Ebola are almost twice as likely to die as adults

In Ituri province, which is the epicenter of the outbreak, dozens of children have been orphaned, according to UNICEF. The agency said that 135 of those children are receiving support, including psychosocial care.

In neighboring Uganda, there are at least 20 confirmed cases, in large part linked to cross-border transmission from the DRC, and two deaths, according to UNICEF. The agency said children have also been affected in Uganda, with at least one child who has tested positive and 19 children under quarantine monitoring.

"Children are especially vulnerable because they depend on caregivers and cannot distance themselves from a sick parent or sibling in the same way that an adult can," Russell said. "To better protect children, we need sustained access, and the resources needed to reach every affected community."

Keanu Reeves in talks to star in Lego live-action, animation hybrid movie

Keanu Reeves is looking to enter the world of Lego.

The actor is in negotiations to star in a live-action and animation hybrid Lego film, ABC Audio has learned. His Toy Story 4 director Josh Cooley will direct him in this new film for Universal Pictures based on the popular toy franchise.

Universal Pictures had no comment when reached by ABC Audio.

While plot details are being kept under blocks, the film is said to combine animation and live-action. Jill Wilfert and Ryan Christians are set to produce it through The Lego Group.

Universal landed the rights to Lego in 2020. Several Lego films, including 2014's The Lego Movie and 2017's The Lego Batman Movie, were released through Warner Bros. Pictures and remain part of that studio's library.

Reeves voices the Toy Story character Duke Caboom, who first appeared in Cooley's 2019 sequel Toy Story 4. The actor reprised the role in the franchise's fifth film, which is currently in theaters after its June 19 debut.

Egypt’s Mo Salah adds to list of accolades in World Cup against New Zealand

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — While Mohamed Salah’s club career is still undecided, he’s building his legacy with Egypt.

Salah scored his 68th goal in international play, a total now just one goal shy of current Egypt coach Hossam Hassan’s career record for the Pharaohs, in a 3-1 World Cup victory Sunday night over New Zealand.

It was his third World Cup goal after he netted two at the 2018 tournament in Russia. Three goals at the World Cup gives the 34-year-old Salah the most ever for an Egyptian player.

Salah played for Liverpool for nine seasons, winning two Premier League titles and becoming the league’s leading foreign goal scorer. But he had a dip in form this season and amid tensions, announced his contract with the squad would be ended a year early.

His departure from Anfield sparked discussion as to where the striker would be going next. For now, he plays for Egypt with his future plans still uncertain.

While between clubs, Mo Salah has etched his name further into the history books as the captain of the first Egyptian team to win a World Cup match.

“What happened today is history for us as Egyptians,” Salah said. “We see a lot of teams win games, but for us as Egyptian, it doesn’t happen often, first time in history.”

Fans would have to wait to see the Salah they grew to expect at Liverpool. He started slow in the first half, missing wide left on a direct free kick and watching New Zealand take an early lead, but he would not be denied for long.

Salah scored Sunday on a pass from Mostafa Ziko in the 67th minute. The ball slid underneath a defender and past New Zealand goalkeeper Max Crocombe to give the Pharaohs a 2-1 lead.

Salah wasn’t done adding to his resume quite yet, getting an assist in the 82nd minute on the Pharaohs’ final goal, his second assist of this game. He also had an assist on Egypt’s lone goal in its 1-1 draw against Belgium earlier in the tournament.

“He’s a good player,” New Zealand captain Chris Wood said. “You have to keep an eye on him.”

The four-time Premier League Golden Boot winner scored nine goals in 10 matches to qualify the Pharaohs for this World Cup. Salah became the career scoring leader in African World Cup qualifying history.

Salah should have his share of clubs interested in his talents after a strong start to the World Cup.

“Salah worked hard on the pitch,” Egypt manager Hossam Hassan said. “I am sure we are going to see more from him.”

Lionel Messi breaks World Cup scoring record with his 17th goal for Argentina

ARLINGTON (AP) — Lionel Messi broke the World Cup scoring record with his 17th goal in defending champion Argentina’s match against Austria on Monday, coming about a half hour after he had missed a penalty kick.

The record goal for a 1-0 lead came in the 38th minute and two days before Messi’s 39th birthday, and amid the concern of an ailing father back at home. It was the sixth consecutive World Cup game in which Messi has scored — joining France striker Just Fontaine and Brazil great Jairzinho as only players to do so.

Messi had equaled Germany striker Miroslav Klose for the most goals in the World Cup at 16 with his first hat trick at the tournament in Argentina’s 3-0 win over Algeria in the Group J opener last Tuesday night in Kansas City.

With a chance to break the record in the ninth minute on Monday, Messi missed a penalty kick.

Messi’s left-footed kick went just wide of the right post. He is now 4 of 7 on penalty kicks in regulation play at the World Cup with misses in three consecutive tournaments.

Lautaro Martinez was running free in the box when he was tackled from behind by Xaver Schlager and Stefan Posch, the defender playing with a broken jaw. Schalger got a foot on the ball, but Posch drew the penalty because he did not touch the ball as Martinez tumbled to the ground.

Play continued for more than a minute with Martinez still on the ground near the goal. When the game was stopped for him, officials went to review the play.

Messi’s hat trick in the previous game, in his 200th international appearance, came 20 years to the date of his World Cup debut in Germany, when he also scored. He is playing in sixth World Cup, and Monday was his FIFA-record 28th match in the tournament.

Klose played in 24 World Cup matches for Germany, which wrapped up his fourth tournament by winning the 2014 final 1-0 in extra time over Messi and Argentina.

Messi’s father has been undergoing medical treatment for an undisclosed illness, the family said in a statement last week while not providing any specifics. The 68-year-old Jorge Messi has played a key role in his third son’s soccer career, acting as his agent and managing his business affairs off the field.

Lionel Messi was overcome with emotion after scoring his first goal against Algeria, and said after that match his tears came following some tough days not related to soccer.

Jets were 300 feet apart in Boston close call that forced Delta flight to abort landing, expert says

BOSTON (AP) — A Delta Air Lines jet was roughly 300 feet (90 meters) from an American Airlines plane during a close call at Boston’s airport that forced the Delta aircraft to abort a weekend landing attempt, an aviation expert said Sunday.

The Federal Aviation Administration said it was investigating the incident between two commercial flights that happened Saturday at Boston Logan International Airport.

Todd Curtis, a former safety engineer at Boeing, estimated the distance between the two jetliners using Flightradar24, a website that tracks flights. Curtis now coproduces a podcast about flight safety issues.

“This is a significant incident,” Curtis said, adding that it was particularly concerning because it involved two professional airline crews.

He said federal aviation officials have been concerned about such runway incursions for a while now and will scrutinize Saturday’s close call.

Near-misses and runway incursions at U.S. airports will be the subject of a hearing on Capitol Hill on Tuesday. The Senate Commerce?Subcommittee?on?Aviation, Space,?and Innovation will?seek ways to strengthen safety across the national airspace system.

The Delta flight from Dallas had to execute a go-around, or aborted landing, to avoid the American plane departing from an intersecting runway, according to the FAA and flight logs.

The crew of Delta flight 2351 coordinated with air traffic control to perform the go-around, an airline spokesperson said. The plane, which had 129 passengers and six crew members on board, landed safely and deplaned normally, according to the spokesperson.

Go-arounds are safe, routine procedures performed at the discretion of the pilot or air traffic controllers, according to the FAA.

Judge blocks Trump administration’s ‘haphazard’ voter-screening database

(WASHINGTON) -- A federal judge on Monday blocked a Trump administration voter-screening database, ruling that the government's "haphazard" system unlawfully consolidated "the private information of millions of Americans" in an effort to purge non-citizens from voter rolls.

In her order, U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan said the federal government "has knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote."

Tesla allegedly in driver-assist mode crashes into Texas house, woman killed: Investigators

KATY (AP) – A driver in a Tesla vehicle that was allegedly in driver-assist mode crashed into a Texas house Friday night, killing a woman who was inside the home, investigators said.

Michael Butler was traveling in his Tesla Model 3 around 8 p.m. local time in Katy, Texas, and was operating the vehicle “with an automated driving assistance system,” the Harris County Sheriff’s office said in a statement.

Butler allegedly failed to drive in a single lane, left the roadway and struck the residence, according to the sheriff’s office.

“Butler’s Tesla entered through the brick residence, at a high rate of speed, and struck M. Avila who was inside the residence,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.

Avila was airlifted to a hospital where she was later pronounced dead, the sheriff’s office said.

Investigators said Butler, who was injured, showed no signs of intoxication and he was cooperating with officers. Attorney information for the driver wasn’t immediately available.

The investigation is ongoing and as of Saturday afternoon there were no charges.

Chevron and Microsoft sign deal to power data center

HOUSTON – Monday, Chevron Corporation announced that a 20-year power purchase agreement has been signed between Microsoft Corp. and Energy Forge One LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, to develop a co-located power facility in West Texas that will supply dedicated electricity to a Microsoft-operated data center. Project Kilby is the development that Chevron and Engine No. 1 have been working on together.

Kilby is anticipated to provide roughly 2.67 gigawatts of capacity, constructed using a modular, phased architecture that allows for gradual expansion. Large GE Vernova turbines and related electrical infrastructure will provide the majority of the generation, with Solar Turbines, a fully owned subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc., contributing additional capacity. By utilizing America’s natural gas edge, this places Kilby among the biggest co-located natural gas power and data center expansions in the United States and supports the next stage of American AI growth.

‘Extraordinarily broad’: In rare move, judge tosses DOJ subpoenas to Walz in immigration case

(WASHINGTON) -- A federal judge on Monday tossed out multiple Justice Department subpoenas to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and other officials tied to a federal investigation regarding the state's cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, according to a newly published legal opinion.

Patrick Schiltz, chief judge of the Minnesota federal district court, found that the subpoenas were "part of a broader campaign to coerce state and local officials" to aid the Trump administration in supporting federal immigration activities that "played out against the backdrop of the Trump administration's well-established history of using criminal investigations to retaliate against and pressure the President's political and personal adversaries."

"The fact that connections between the information sought in the subpoenas and any possible criminal violation range from extremely weak to nonexistent only adds to the overwhelming evidence that these subpoenas were not issued to investigate, but to harass, coerce, and retaliate," Schiltz wrote in his order released Monday.

The subpoenas, which were issued on Jan. 20 against the backdrop of the Trump administration's aggressive immigration surge in Minnesota that drew widespread protests, sought an expansive amount of information from Walz and others including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and the Hennepin County Attorney's Office and Board of Commissioners.

In his opinion quashing the subpoenas, Schiltz lambasted the government for their "extraordinarily broad" request examining materials "that largely if not entirely relate to constitutionally protected conduct." It's almost unheard of for federal judges to quash criminal subpoenas from Justice Department prosecutors.

"The Department has launched a significant incursion into matters that the Constitution reserves to sovereign states, and one would expect that the Department would not have done so unless it was aware of compelling evidence of criminal or at least suspicious behavior," Schiltz said.

Pointing to a series of statements from President Donald Trump, including social media posts previewing a "DAY OF RECKONING AND RETRIBUTION" was coming for Minnesota -- followed by a leak just three days later of a purported federal investigation in Walz and Frey -- Schiltz said there was a clear pattern established of the government using its powers purely to punish Trump's adversaries for their refusal to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.

justify the subpoenas, which he said had such a remote connection to potential criminal conduct "as to be spurious."

"The Department suggests that requiring city officials to report known ICE activity to the City Council could result in the dissemination of that information-and that dissemination of that information could, in turn, result in other individuals evading or interfering with future ICE activity," Schiltz wrote. "This reasoning piles speculation upon speculation, while also taking aim at perfectly legal-indeed, constitutionally protected-behavior. As a general matter, any citizen who happens across law-enforcement activity has a constitutional right to observe it, to record it, and to mention it to anyone they'd like-including members of the Minneapolis City Council."

The order follows a similar move by the chief district judge in Washington, D.C., in March that quashed subpoenas tied to the DOJ's investigation of then-Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, after Judge James Boasberg determined the probe was based on no clear evidence and appeared purely rooted in Trump's animus towards Powell.

"Today's ruling is a victory for the rule of law and our democracy. A federal district judge found that the U.S. Department of Justice's investigation into me and other Minnesota elected officials was politically motivated, unconstitutional, and meritless," Walz said in a statement.

"The U.S. Justice Department is pursuing criminal investigations into the President's political opponents," Walz said. "This case was just one example of that, but we are seeing daily reminders of this administration's lawlessness -- in Minnesota and around the country. We all must continue to seek justice and uphold the rule of law."

Frey, in his own statement, said that "criticism of our government is not a crime."

"One of the defining strengths of our democracy is the ability to challenge those in power without fear of retribution," Frey wrote. "Elected officials have both the right and the responsibility to speak honestly about how government decisions affect the people they serve."

In a statement responding to the ruling, a DOJ spokesperson did not say whether the Justice Department plans to appeal Schiltz’s order.

“The department takes the unlawful obstruction of federal law enforcement operations extremely seriously and will continue to act in full compliance with the law to investigate these matters,” the spokesperson said.

Clive Davis, the record executive known as "the man with the golden ears," has died of age-related illness, according to his family. He was 94.

Davis either discovered, signed or guided the careers of artists including Bruce Springsteen, Chicago, Aerosmith, Billy Joel, Janis Joplin, Alicia Keys, Patti Smith and Whitney Houston.

A statement from Davis' family read, "To the world, our father was the iconic music legend whose vision, instincts, and relentless pursuit of excellence shaped the soundtrack of countless lives. He discovered, mentored, and championed the greatest artists in modern music history, leaving an indelible mark on culture that will endure for generations."

"To his family, Clive was Dad and Granddaddy, the steady presence at the center of our lives, the source of wisdom, strength, encouragement, and unconditional love. No matter how extraordinary his professional accomplishments, he never lost sight of what mattered most: the people he loved."

A lawyer by trade, New York City-born Davis joined Columbia Records as assistant counsel in 1960. He was made president of the label by 1967 and helped to bring it into the rock era, signing acts such as Joplin's band Big Brother and the Holding Company; Santana; Blood, Sweat & Tears; and Pink Floyd.

After being fired from Columbia in 1973, he started his own labels, Arista Records and J Records, and worked for BMG and Sony Music Entertainment. Over that time, he helped revive the careers of Dionne Warwick, Santana, the Grateful Dead, Rod Stewart and Aretha Franklin; gave Barry Manilow his first #1 with "Mandy"; identified Whitney Houston as a future star and signed her at age 19; and released Alicia Keys' 2001 Grammy-winning debut album, Songs in A Minor.

Other acts Davis worked with over the years included Barbra Streisand, Sarah McLachlan, Carly Simon, Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, Kenny G, Earth, Wind & Fire, The Kinks, Annie Lennox, Toni Braxton, Luther Vandross, Maroon 5 and Usher.

Davis also worked closely with American Idol in the show's early years, heading the label that released the music of winners and finalists such as Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken, Fantasia Barrino, Jennifer Hudson, Ruben Studdard and Jordin Sparks.

Davis' annual star-studded pre-Grammy parties became legendary and often served as a launching pad for the artist he was focusing on at the time. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 as a non-performer.

His 2013 autobiography, The Soundtrack of My Life, was a New York Times bestseller. The 2017 documentary Clive Davis: The Soundtrack of Our Lives, is currently available on Netflix.

Davis, who at age 80 revealed that he was bisexual, is survived by three sons, a daughter, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, as well as his partner. His two marriages ended in divorce.

Mavericks are hiring national champ coach Dusty May away from Michigan, AP source says

DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Mavericks and Dusty May of national champion Michigan are finalizing a deal for the coach to make the jump from college to the NBA, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Monday.

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal wasn’t completed.

May and the Wolverines won their first NCAA championship since 1989 with a 69-63 victory over UConn in April to wrap up a 34-3 season. They opened the NCAA Tournament by becoming the first team ever to score at least 90 points in five consecutive games.

That came three years after May led Florida Atlantic to its only Final Four appearance. The Owls returned to the NCAA Tournament in 2024 before May was hired by Michigan.

The 49-year-old May replaces Jason Kidd, who was let go two weeks after Masai Ujiri was hired as president of basketball operations and alternate governor of the Mavericks.

He comes to the NBA with a chance to mold 2025 No. 1 overall draft pick and reigning Rookie of the Year Cooper Flagg. Veteran star Kyrie Irving is also on the roster for now after missing the entire 2025-26 season following an ACL tear in March of last year.

May’s first job as a college assistant was at Murray State in 2005-06. He then served on staffs at UAB, Louisiana Tech and Florida before getting his first head coaching job at Florida Atlantic.

The Owls went 35-4 during their dream season in 2022-23, which ended with a 72-71 loss to San Diego State in the national semifinals when Lamont Butler hit a buzzer-beating shot for the Aztecs.

“I was a fan of Dusty’s when he was at FAU,” said Yaxel Lendeborg, who played for May at Michigan and is expected to be a lottery pick in the first round of the NBA draft on Tuesday night. “And now, after playing for him, I’m a bigger fan. I have so much respect for Dusty May, I can’t even tell you.”

Lendeborg said at last month’s draft combine that he believed May ran Michigan’s program like an NBA program in many ways.

“A lot of schemes, a lot of switching and stuff. And his offense was very much a pro-style offense,” Lendeborg said. “We played fast-paced, physical, all of that. … I’ve gained so much knowledge from him as far as those actions and just those little communication keys.”

May’s rise in coaching has been meteoric, particularly after the last four seasons.

He took over at Florida Atlantic in 2018 and had four consecutive seasons of finishing just over .500 — before striking gold in the 2022-23 season, going 35-4 and taking the Owls on that improbable Final Four run.

May went 25-9 at FAU the following season, then went to Michigan and brought the Wolverines back to prominence. He was 64-13 in his two seasons after replacing Juwan Howard with Michigan coming off an 8-24 season, the school’s lowest win total since going 7-20 in 1981-82.

Michigan went 27-10 in May’s debut, won the Big Ten Conference Tournament and made it to the NCAA Sweet 16.

May’s record in his last four college seasons was 124-26, an .827 winning percentage that was third best in all of major college men’s basketball over that span behind Houston’s Kelvin Sampson (.861) and Duke’s Jon Scheyer (.832).

The Indiana native was a student manager for the Hoosiers and coach Bob Knight while he was in school there from 1996-2000. He gained experience in scouting, video operations and player development while with the Hall of Fame coach, who died in 2023.

After graduating from Indiana, May spent two seasons as an administrative assistant and video coordinator at Southern California. He returned to the Hoosiers in similar roles from 2002-05.

Heat stress is intensifying worldwide, scientists say

(LONDON) -- The number of people who experience heat stress around the world every year has increased exponentially in the last several decades due to climate change, according to new research.

One billion more people are currently facing at least one day of "extreme heat stress" annually compared to the 1970s, according to a study published Monday in Nature Climate Change.

Heat stress is defined as the net heat load on an individual and can be influenced by temperature, humidity, wind and radiation, according to the paper. Heat stress is the leading cause of weather-related deaths and can exacerbate underlying illnesses, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, mental health and asthma, according to the World Health Organization.

"Heat is a leading cause of weather-related mortality at the global scale," Rebecca Emerton, senior scientist for the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, in Reading, U.K., and lead author of the paper, told ABC News.

Researchers quantified the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI), a thermal stress index, essentially a feels-like temperature that accounts for temperature, humidity, wind speed, solar radiation and how the human body reacts to the environment, Emerton said.

The scientists analyzed a global dataset of human heat stress from 1950 to 2024 to determine that the hottest days of the year looked like in decades past, especially in the 1970s, when the global feels-like trends started to rise, Emerton said. They then compared those figures to maximum UTCI values that are being seen today.

They found that the 10 warmest nights of each year have warmed faster than the 10 warmest days -- by about a global average rate of .58 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the paper.

Extreme feels-like temperatures are also more frequent on every continent, the new research shows. Subtropical regions, including southern North America, southern Europe and northern and southern Africa, now experience up to 50 additional days annually with "strong to extreme heat stress," defined by researchers as a UTCI greater than or equal to 89.6 degrees and 114.8 degrees Fahrenheit, respectively.

Exposure to at least one day of extreme heat stress has risen from 16% to 22% of the global population, equivalent to about one billion people, according to the paper.

As a result, global heat stress is increasing in frequency, severity and duration -- both during the day and at night, the researchers found.

Nighttime heat is especially significant for health, because if the temperatures remain high overnight, the human body doesn't have as much of an opportunity to recover from the heat of the day, Emerton noted.

Extreme heat stress, now occurs 2.5 times more often in Europe and South America, twice as often in North America and 1.8, 1.7 and 1.2 times more often in Africa, Oceania and Asia, respectively, according to the paper.

The increased instances of heat stress experienced by modern populations is a direct result of climate change, Emerton noted.

While empirical evidence shows that heatwaves are becoming more frequent, longer and more intense, the changes experienced by people around the world -- including how the heat impacts them both during the day and at night -- has not yet been well-studied, the researchers said.

Action plans for heat health, as well as early-warning systems, urban cooling interventions and the integration of heat stress metrics in climate risk assessments, will be necessary to protect populations from increased heat stress, according to the paper.

"We hope this helps people across the world understand the changes that are happening, and we hope that information can support decision-making on how to plan and adapt for the future," Emerton said.

Selena Gomez and Timothée Chalamet are teaming up with Illumination, the people who brought you the Minions films, for a new animated feature.

The movie, called Not Alone, was announced at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival. According to studio information distributed to multiple media outlets, Chalamet will play Joe, an introverted rocket mechanic. Gomez will play Fran, an astro-botanist who's created the first rocket powered by plant-based fuel. Things get complicated when three aliens on the run from the law hide out in Joe's house, where they plot to return home using Fran's rocket.

The voice cast also includes Allison Janney, Lamorne Morris and Brett Goldstein. The movie hits theaters in April 2027.

This isn't the first time Gomez and Chalamet have worked together: They both appeared in the movie A Rainy Day in New York, which was released in 2020.

While Chalamet will be making his animated film debut, Gomez has voiced multiple characters in animated films, including the Hotel Transylvania series. Her most recent film role was the Oscar-winning movie Emilia Pérez.

Chalamet, last seen in 2025's Oscar-nominated Marty Supreme, will appear in Dune: Part Three later this year.

Olympian David Hearn arrested at Reflecting Pool says ‘I did not damage’ anything

(WASHINGTON) -- Three-time U.S. Olympian David Hearn told ABC News that police arrested him on Friday after he touched a piece of blue coating that was partially detached from the bottom of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

Hearn said he went on a bike ride on Friday afternoon and stopped by the Reflecting Pool as a “curious, concerned citizen”. Given his background in materials science, Hearn says he was interested to see the situation for himself after reading about reports of algae in the water and paint peeling off.

“I saw a piece of this loose end of this blue coating … I reached out and touched the end of that piece that was loose but still attached to the bottom,” Hearn told ABC News. “I was able to reach out and touch the edge of that that was still attached at the bottom and handled it a little bit.”

Hearn, who represented the U.S. in canoeing, said he was able to feel and bend the coating a bit.

“I did not remove, I did not damage, I did not rip, tear, break, destroy or harm any part of the Reflecting Pool,” Hearn said.

“The condition of that part and all other parts of the Reflecting Pool were in the same condition after I walked away as they were before I walked up to it.”

Hearn said as he was touching the material, a National Park Service employee told him to stop touching it. He said he then walked back to his bike where National Guardsmen told him that the Park Police wanted to talk to him.

“I had no idea I was about to be arrested,” Hearn said. “They didn’t say they were charging me, but they did start to handcuff me. They did not ever read me my rights. They did not allow me any phone calls for the ensuing five hours, and they did not detail the charges that were going to be leveled against me.”

The National Park Service has not replied to a request from ABC News about Hearn's arrest or any others.

Hearn is set to appear in court on July 9.

Hearn said he was “fully cooperative” the whole time, did not resist and was held for five hours before being released Friday night.

Asked whether he is worried about what will happen to him next, Hearn said: “I am concerned. I’m very wary of our current government; I’m a single citizen being singled out in this way by my government. It’s not fair, and it’s not right.”

The Reflecting Pool has been plagued with algae and peeling paint in the days since the Trump administration completed a $14.65 million renovation. Visitors have been flocking to the pool over the weekend and some have taken to social media with photos and videos showing the algae and peeling paint.

President Donald Trump claims, without evidence, that the damage was committed by vandals, saying Saturday in a lengthy post on his social media platform that the pool would need to be partially drained to repair the peeling lining.

Trump said multiple people had been arrested for vandalism and blamed the condition of the pool on someone pouring "corrosive and destructive chemicals" into the pool and that "They took some form of knife or blade, and put a 250 foot long gash into the beautiful facade of what took so much work, competence, and money to build and complete."

An administration official said on Sunday that as of Saturday night, five individuals had been arrested for vandalism, and five others had been issued citations.

The official added that 14 police reports had also been filed for alleged vandalism, including the alleged crime Trump described.

Hearn said he has "a lot of support.”

“I have several very respectable law firms who are offering to provide pro bono counsel, and we will be vigorously defending against these charges," he said.
