MIAMI (AP) — Ten Democratic presidential candidates drew the second night of debates to a close with calls for a new generation of leadership, pledges to protect reproductive rights and promises to move beyond the divisiveness of President Donald Trump's tenure. California Sen. Kamala Harris says she would focus on kitchen-table issues. South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg says a generational change is needed in the White House. Former Vice President Joe Biden says America needs to restore its soul.

OSAKA, Japan (AP) — President Donald Trump says German Chancellor Angela Merkel is a "fantastic person" and he's "glad to have her as a friend." He commented Friday as he and Merkel met on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in Japan. Merkel said last year that she won't seek a fifth term as chancellor and Trump has complained outside of her presence that Germany is taking advantage of the U.S. on support for NATO.

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — The government is seeking to push back against a request from immigrant advocates for an emergency order allowing doctors to inspect detention facilities and sanction the government over conditions involving children. The government contested the requests in a Thursday filing, saying the demands would "impose extensive obligations." The request for the emergency order was filed late Wednesday. The attorneys want immediate inspections at facilities in the El Paso and McAllen areas of Texas.

OSAKA, Japan (AP) — The U.N. chief says the world can't afford conflict as tensions rise between Iran and the United States. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said it is "essential to deescalate the situation" and avoid confrontation. His comments come as Iran is poised to surpass a key uranium stockpile threshold, threatening an accord it reached in 2015 with world powers aimed at curbing its nuclear activity.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Democratic-led House is sending President Donald Trump a bipartisan $4.6 billion Senate-drafted measure to care for migrant refugees detained at the southern border. It passed on a bipartisan vote that capped a fight in which House liberals came out on the losing end in a battle with the White House, the GOP-held Senate, and Democratic moderates. The measure would ease a cash crunch at agencies that care for migrants who have flocked over the border in huge numbers seeking asylum.
