Biden to pass torch to Harris at DNC amid Gaza protesters
Kamala Harris takes her surging US presidential campaign to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago tonight for a day that will be overshadowed by protests against Israel's war in Gaza. President Joe Biden will endorse Harris and the case against Republican rival Donald Trump. She has wiped out Trump's lead in the polls amid her popularity surge, however, security will be tight with protesters expected to rally against the Biden-Harris administration's support for Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza.

Blinken travels to Israel for ceasefire talks

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken traveled to Israel on Sunday as mediators seek to cement a Gaza ceasefire deal, even as attacks on Gaza intensified. Making his ninth trip to the Middle East since the war broke out, Blinken is expected to meet Israeli leaders before truce talks resume this week in Cairo. US, Qatari and Egyptian mediators have said negotiations to clinch a ceasefire in the more than 10-month-old war were making progress, and US President Joe Biden said "we are closer than we have ever been" to bringing a halt to hostilities.

Ukraine claims deeper incursion into Russia

Ukraine said Sunday it had struck a second bridge in the Kursk region, seeking to disrupt Moscow's supply routes as Kyiv's unprecedented incursion on Russian soil stretched through its second week. Russia meanwhile ramped up pressure in east Ukraine, claiming to capture another village near Pokrovsk. On Friday, Ukraine announced it had destroyed a separate bridge in the neighboring town of Glushkovo. Kyiv has now launched the biggest attack by a foreign enemy on Russian soil since World War II as Ukraine tries to force Russia into peace talks.
