WASHINGTON (AP) — Seven Democratic freshmen lawmakers who served in the military and national security say that if President Donald Trump pressured Ukraine's president to investigate rival Joe Biden for political benefit, it's impeachable. The centrist Democrats said in an op-ed Monday in The Washington Post they "do not arrive at this conclusion lightly." They call the allegations "a threat to all" they've sworn to protect. The lawmakers come largely from swing districts where Trump is popular but voters split.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson went further, saying President Donald Trump should strike a new deal with Tehran.
LONDON (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of travelers have been stranded across the world after the British tour company Thomas Cook collapsed in the middle of the night. The move by the 178-year-old company immediately halted almost all of its flights and hotel services and laid off 21,000 employees. The British government was taking charge of getting the firm's 150,000 U.K.-based customers back home. Sun-drenched airports saw long lines of passengers trying to find a way home.
