Rescuers by Saturday had begun the grim task of recovering the bodies of children and adults who were swept away in a deadly flash flood in Texas, caused by a powerful storm that killed dozens of people.

At an evening briefing, local officials said that 43 people had been confirmed dead, 15 of them children, with at least 27 girls from a summer camp still missing.

Earlier in the day, Nim Kidd, chief of the Texas division of emergency management, acknowledged that the odds of finding more survivors diminished as the hours passed, but Texas governor Greg Abbott said that he had instructed responders to assume that every missing person was still alive.

Dalton Rice, the Kerrville city manager, said that 27 girls from Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp along the Guadalupe River, are still missing. He added that other people who were in the area but not at the camp could also be unaccounted for. Torrential rain caused the river to rise 26ft (8 meters) in just 45 minutes before dawn on Friday, washing away homes and vehicles.

US hit with mass shootings and fatal accidents on Fourth of July holiday

July 4th shootings and accidentsFriday’s US Independence Day holiday was marked by multiple shootings across the US, including one in Indianapolis that left at least two dead and five wounded as a police chief voiced frustration over the latest acts of violence in his city.

Indianapolis metropolitan police chief Chris Bailey told reporters early Saturday morning that the Fourth of July mayhem a day earlier was “completely unacceptable and unnecessary” – and that parents and guardians needed to better control their children.

“Hundreds of unsupervised kids down here,” he said, while speaking in the city’s downtown. “I don’t know how many times I had to say it: We are not your children’s keepers. You are! And parents and guardians have got to step up.”

Police said one minor had died at a hospital after the shooting.

Mass shootings – defined as cases where four or more shooting victims are injured or killed – were reported in other cities, including Philadelphia and Chicago and Brockton, Massachusetts, where six people were hospitalized following an early morning fight Saturday.

Florida Democrats denied entry to ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ after Trump visit

Alligator AlcatrazA group of five Democratic state lawmakers in Florida said they were denied entry to “Alligator Alcatraz,” a new migrant detention facility, on Thursday due to “safety reasons,“ days after President Trump toured the facility alongside Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R). 

The lawmakers who tried to tour the facility, which opened on Tuesday, included state Democratic Reps. Anna Eskamani, Angie Nixon, and Michele Rayner, along with two state Sens. Shevrin Jones and Carlos Guillermo Smith.

“Florida law gives legislators the authority to make unannounced visits to state-run facilities — to inspect conditions and check on the wellbeing of the people inside. I’ve served in the Legislature for 13 years, and this has never happened,” Jones said in a Thursday post on the social media platform X.

DHS Dismisses Palestinian Woman's Treatment In ICE Detention As 'Sob Story'

Ward SakeikA Palestinian woman released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention on Tuesday says she and others faced mistreatment while detained. Still, the Department of Homeland Security dismissed her account as one of many “sob stories.”

“The entire detention process was not great. I wouldn’t wish this upon anybody. It was very hard, very traumatizing, and very, very difficult, is what I would say,” Ward Sakeik told CNN’s Danny Freeman on Saturday morning.

Sakeik, 22, a stateless person whose family is from Gaza, was born in Saudi Arabia, a country that does not grant birthright citizenship to children of foreign-born parents, according to The Guardian. She entered the U.S. legally under a tourist visa when she was 8 and was allowed to remain, as long as she regularly checked in with ICE.

Metal heads, TikTokers, shiny new airports: Greenland, but not as you think you know it

Greenland's Inuit peopleMusicians Pani and Sebastian Enequist sport once-suppressed Inuit face tattoos, hunt seals for food in remote fjords and honor nature "like a God." But they found their calling − and each other − while they were obsessing over the American heavy metal band Slipknot.

For thousands of years, Greenland's Inuit people survived the world’s harshest conditions by living off whales, seals, polar bears, fish and caribou. Now, gleaming new airports are opening up. TikTok stars are proliferating. A relatively isolated indigenous culture, long dominated by ruling Denmark, finds itself increasingly exposed to the world just as President Donald Trump pushes to take over the Arctic territory.

Still, if music can tell ancient and modern stories alike, then the Sound of the Damned, the Enequists' Nuuk-based hardcore metal band, has a musical plotline that wends across time and place. The group's raspy, guttural-growl vocals, introspective lyrics and aggressive beats are old and young. Native and foreign-born. They illustrate how change is sweeping through the island's unique heritage, even as some things.

Gaza aid contractor tells BBC he saw colleagues fire on hungry Palestinians

Food seekersA former security contractor for Gaza's controversial new Israel- and US-backed aid distribution sites has told the BBC that he witnessed colleagues opening fire several times on hungry Palestinians who had posed no threat, including with machine guns.

On one occasion, he said, a guard had opened fire from a watchtower with a machine gun because a group of women, children and elderly people were moving too slowly away from the site.

When asked to respond the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) said the allegations were categorically false.

They referred us to a statement saying that no civilians ever came under fire at the GHF distribution sites.

Israel wants Gaza cleared of Palestinians.  That's the first step. It will happen, and the world will remain silent. Silence is complicity... and that is evil.

Israeli strike kills renowned Palestinian cardiologist and his family in Gaza

Dr. Marwan SultanDr. Marwan Sultan was taking a rare break from work to be home with his family Wednesday when, at 2:15 p.m., he became a grim statistic: the 70th health care worker to be killed by Israeli fire in the past 50 days, according to a Palestinian monitoring group.

Soon after at Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital, an NBC News crew witnessed grieving family members and colleagues surround the body of Sultan, a renowned cardiologist, who was killed along with his wife, daughter, son-in-law and sister.

In the morgue, hospital workers wiped blood off Sultan's ashen and scratched face as his body lay wrapped in a smeared white sheet. Visitors embraced and kissed him, their wails reverberating around the room, according to the video.

TVNL Comment: Rest in peace, Dr. Sultan and family.  The monsters who killed you will pay the price.  If not now, soon. The world is waking up to this horror.

Ukraine accuses Putin of humiliating Trump with devastating attack on Kyiv

Attack on KyivRussia launches record number of drones and ballistic missiles in seven-hour assault shortly after its leader spoke to US president

Ukraine has accused Vladimir Putin of “publicly humiliating” Donald Trump after Russia launched a devastating attack with a record number of drones and ballistic missiles on Kyiv, hours after the two leaders spoke by phone.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the seven-hour raid as a “deliberate act of terror” which “immediately followed the call between Washington and Moscow”. It was one of the most severe assaults of the entire war and a “clear interpretation of how Moscow interprets diplomacy”, he added.

The sustained and coordinated night-time attack involved more than 550 Russian drones and ballistic missiles – a record. Families in Kyiv spent the night in metro stations, basements and underground parking garages.

US dollar has worst first half in more than 50 years amid Trump tariffs

Dollar fallsThe US dollar has had its worst first half-year in more than 50 years, as the financial markets over the last six months were dominated by geopolitical crises and Donald Trump’s trade war.

The dollar has fallen by 10.8% against a basket of currencies since the start of 2025. That is its worst performance over the first six months of any year since 1973, and the worst half-year since the second half of 1991.

This sell-off has pulled the dollar index down to its lowest level since March 2022 and lifted the pound to a three-year high of $1.37, up from $1.25 at the start of the year.

Investors have been selling the US currency due to concerns that Trump’s economic policies threaten the safe-haven role of US dollar-denominated assets, with economists predicting that the president’s “big beautiful” budget bill will drive the US national debt even higher.
