WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton's campaigns are expecting a record-breaking audience to watch the first presidential debate of this election cycle tonight. The 90-minute back and forth will take place at suburban New York's Hofstra University. Trump's team says you can expect to hear the Republican talk about how he plans to defeat ISIS. Clinton's camp, meantime, is expressing concern that Trump will be held to a different standard, and could be rewarded for simply keeping his cool.
HOUSTON (AP) — A resident of the Houston neighborhood where a gunman opened fire at passing cars this morning says the man once showed a weapon when he became upset. The woman lives at the same condo complex as the shooter and says he brandished an assault-style weapon at roofers in the complex a few weeks ago. This morning, authorities say, he shot six people before being shot and killed by police.
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's state-run news agency is reporting that Canadian-Iranian professor Homa Hoodfar has been freed from prison and flown out of the country. Hoodfar was reportedly freed on humanitarian grounds. The 65-year-old was barred from leaving Iran in March. She was in the country visiting family following the death of her husband.
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Diplomats say former prime minister Antonio Guterres of Portugal remains the top choice to succeed Ban Ki-moon as the next U.N. secretary-general. Guterres was the only candidate to get the minimum nine required "yes" votes in the Security Council's fifth informal poll. Whether Guterres becomes the next U.N. chief should be clearer after the next straw poll in early October.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A new study finds that if the nation doesn't do more, the United States probably won't meet the dramatic heat-trapping gas reduction goal it promised last year in Paris. Scientists with the U.S. Department of Energy say the U.S. is likely to get only two-thirds of way to the goal of cutting carbon pollution by 26 percent. The biggest reduction, the scientists calculate, would come from the Obama administration's clean power plan that would cut carbon pollution from power plants. But that plan is on hold in the courts.
