WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has likened disagreements with Israeli leaders over the Iran nuclear deal to a family disagreement.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) — It has killed at least 12 people and left twice as many missing on the eastern Caribbean island of Dominica. But forecasters aren't sure what will be left of Tropical Storm Erika when it reaches Florida on late Sunday and early Monday.

COLLINSVILLE, Va. (AP) — The father of the TV reporter gunned down on air with her cameraman is making it his mission to fight for tougher gun control laws and Andy Parker says he'll do it on national TV. Former reporter Vester Flanagan used a legally-acquired handgun to kill Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward. A similar gun control effort by the parents of the Connecticut school massacre failed in Congress.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina prosecutors have decided against retrying a white police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black man in 2013, after his trial ended last week in a deadlock. Randall Kerrick had been accused of voluntary manslaughter in the death of Jonathan Ferrell. The jury in the case deadlocked with an 8-4 vote in favor of acquittal, leading the judge to declare a mistrial. Prosecutors say they don't think a retrial would bring a different result.
VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican's former ambassador to the Dominican Republic, the highest-ranking church official to ever be charged with sexually abusing young boys, has been found dead in the Vatican room where he had been held in modified house arrest for several months. Jozef Wesolowski, who was 67, had been awaiting trial. The Vatican press officer says the death was from natural causes.
