CLEVELAND (AP) — Donald Trump is just hours away from attaining the 2016 presidential nomination, if there are no last-minute jolts to the proceedings. Last night, his wife Melania generated the buzz, telling delegates in her speech that her husband is "the guy" if America wants someone to fight for the country. Mrs. Trump also generated controversy, when it was realized that two passages of her address matched nearly word-for-word the speech Michelle Obama delivered to the 2008 Democratic National Convention.

NICE, FRANCE (AP) — The Paris chief prosecutor says the man who carried out the terror attack in Nice had found a clear and recent interest in "radical jihadism," based on a search of his computer. But prosecutor Francois Molins says there's still no proof that Tunisian Mohamed Bouhlel was directed by an extremist network when he killed 84 people and injured dozens of others. Meanwhile, French lawmakers are expected to debate today whether the country's state of emergency should be extended another three months.

BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian activists say that residents in two villages in northern Syria are blaming the U.S.-led coalition for airstrikes today that killed at least 56 civilians. The two villages are controlled by the Islamic State group. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says 11 children are among the dead. Similar airstrikes yesterday in another IS-held town reportedly killed at least 15 civilians.

LONDON (AP) — Summer Olympic sports federations say they're ready to deal with "individual cases" of Russian doping, rather than endorse a total ban on the Russian team for the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. The Association of Summer Olympic International Federations, which represents the 28 sports in the games, says it recognizes the "gravity and extent" of doping in Russia. A report yesterday by a World Anti-Doping Agency investigator listed 20 summer sports as being part of Russia's cheating conspiracy.

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — The U.N. children's agency is warning that some 49,000 children could die of malnutrition in areas once cut off by northeastern Nigeria's Islamic extremist uprising. UNICEF is calling for charities and donors to respond quickly to avert a tragedy in Borno state, where nearly a quarter of a million children are severely malnourished. The seven-year Boko Haram insurgency has killed more than 20,000 people in the region.
