Biden faces critical week in his bid to convince party, public
President Joe Biden began a critical week Monday that will test his standing at home and abroad, as moves to force him to quit his fight for a second White House term gather pace. Biden, 81, has so far defied calls to step aside, after a disastrous debate against bitter rival Donald Trump last month played into fears that he is too old to serve another term as president until 2029. Allies warn he needs to do more to convince his party and the public that only he can beat Trump at the ballot box in November. The turmoil comes as Biden hosts world leaders for a NATO summit.

Hurricane Beryl hits Texas amid heat wave

As Hurricane Beryl rolled ashore in coastal Texas, much of the nation is under a heat wave that is set to push temperatures to unprecedented highs along the West Coast, leaving millions of Americans sweltering under a relentless heat dome. About 36 million people (nearly 10% of the US population) are under excessive heat warnings as the heat dome, mainly centered over California, spreads east. The record heat, an indication of the extreme weather patterns driven by climate change caused by fossil fuels, is a trend expected to continue for decades.
