LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry is describing Saturday's nine-nation talks on Syria as a "brainstorming session." He says no concrete action to stop the violence was agreed upon. But Kerry says several new ideas are being explored. Kerry says the meeting in Switzerland with top diplomats from Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran and others was candid and constructive. Contacts among foreign ministers will continue in the coming days.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials say initial reports of missiles fired at a U.S. Navy ship off the coast of Yemen are being reassessed. On Saturday, Adm. John Richardson, the chief of naval operations, said it appeared that multiple missiles were fired from a Houthi-controlled region in Yemen targeting a U.S. warship in the Red Sea. No hits were reported. If confirmed, it would be the third attack in about a week targeting the destroyer and other U.S. ships.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton generally avoided direct criticism of Wall Street as she examined the causes and responses to the financial meltdown during a series of paid speeches to Goldman Sachs. That's according to transcripts disclosed by WikiLeaks on Saturday. The disclosures contain no new bombshells but are likely to reinvigorate concerns among Bernie Sanders supporters that Clinton is too close to Wall Street.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A windstorm that swept into the Pacific Northwest is leaving behind a swath of downed trees and powerlines in Oregon and southwest Washington. Although wind gusts have been weaker than initially feared, they're still strong enough to cause damage. Thousands of customers lost power as a result of the storm which is expected to dissipate soon. There are no reports of any major injuries.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Searchers in North Carolina say they've recovered two more bodies from inside vehicles that were submerged in floodwaters from Hurricane Matthew. That raises the death toll in the state to 26. Gov. Pat McCrory says the victims were found in Cumberland County and Wayne County after flood waters from last weekend's rains receded. But several towns remain under water, and not all rivers have crested.
