HEGYESHALOM, Hungary (AP) — Hungary has abandoned the visa checks it's been using to prevent migrants from reaching Austria and Germany by public transportation. It's now permitting them to use normal train service. That means migrants don't have to walk across the border into Austria, as they did yesterday when chartered buses dropped them off near the border. Today they only need to walk across a train platform.
MEXICO CITY (AP) — An independent report dismantles the Mexican government's investigation into last year's disappearance of 43 college students.

RANCHO PALOS VERDES, Calif. (AP) — Whale watch boats and the Coast Guard are resuming their search off Southern California for a blue whale entangled in hundreds of feet of fishing line.

DALLAS (AP) — The Freedom From Religion Foundation is taking issue with police departments placing "In God We Trust" decals on their patrol vehicles. The group wrote to one sheriff in Missouri saying "statements about a god have no place on government-owned cars." Randolph County Sheriff Mark Nichols says he added it to his department's fleet in July because it's the nation's motto. Other police departments have done it in response to recent violence against law enforcement officers.
