GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Hillary Clinton says her three-day, doctor-mandated break from campaigning has given her a fresh perspective on why she's running to be president. At a rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, she vowed to close her campaign against Donald Trump by giving Americans "something to vote for, not just against." Clinton made no apologies for keeping her pneumonia diagnosis from the public until a video emerged showing her stumbling and being supported by aides.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump's signature was scrawled on the improper $25,000 check sent from his personal foundation to a political committee supporting Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. Charities are barred from engaging in political activities, and Trump's campaign contends that the check was mistakenly issued following a series of clerical errors. The campaign says Trump had intended to use personal funds to support Bondi's re-election. Her office was reviewing litigation against Trump University at the time of the donation.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Department of Transportation is ordering airline passengers not to bring Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phones on planes unless they keep them turned off and don't charge them during the flight. Passengers also must disable all applications that could inadvertently activate the phone, like an alarm clock; protect the power switch to prevent the phone from being unintentionally turned on; and keep the device in a carry-on baggage or on their person, not in a checked bag. Numerous cases have been reported of the phones exploding and catching fire.
BEIRUT (AP) — The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is reporting that two children and an adult civilian have been killed since a U.S.-Russian-brokered cease-fire took effect three days ago. The monitoring group says the children were killed in government-held areas and the civilian died in rebel-held Aleppo. Syria's military has begun withdrawing from a major artery to Aleppo, but the U.N. envoy to Syria says President Bashar Assad's government is obstructing aid access to the city.
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Julia is a tropical storm again. The National Hurricane Center says Julia has maximum sustained winds of 40 mph, as it meanders off the coast of the Carolinas.
