WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton's campaign has released an online video that compiles footage of white supremacist leaders praising Donald Trump. The video comes ahead of a Clinton speech that will seek to attach Trump to the so-called "alt-right" movement that is often associated with efforts on the far right to preserve "white identity." Trump has been criticized for failing to immediately denounce the support that he's garnered from white nationalists and supremacist, including former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke. Trump's campaign says the Clinton video represents a "disgusting new low."

PARIS (AP) — Apple says it is issuing a security update after powerful espionage software was found targeting an activist's iPhone in the Middle East. Computer forensics experts say the spyware takes advantage of three previously undisclosed weaknesses in Apple's mobile operating system to take complete control of iPhone handsets. Two reports published today outline how the spyware could compromise an iPhone with the tap of a finger. Apple said in a statement that it fixed the vulnerability immediately after learning about it.
