U.S. and Iran Start Talks as Hormuz Closure Clouds Deal

BOGOTA - Colombia’s presidential runoff was too close to call Sunday night, with hard-right lawyer Abelardo de la Espriella holding a narrow lead over leftist senator Ivan Cepeda as nearly all votes were counted. The electoral authority put de la Espriella at 49.66 percent and Cepeda at 48.70 percent. De la Espriella has Trump’s backing and wants a harder line on armed groups. Cepeda says keep negotiating. The country is waiting.

MOSCOW - Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian-occupied Crimea killed at least four people and wounded 28, Moscow-backed authorities said Sunday, after a major hit on oil and fuel facilities in Kerch. Fuel sales at Crimean petrol stations were then suspended, with supplies reserved for state agencies. Kyiv said it targeted military and energy sites. The peninsula was already rationing fuel. The war keeps finding new ways to get closer to home.

LONDON - British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under mounting pressure to set out a resignation timetable after Andy Burnham won a by-election and a seat in Parliament, giving him a path to challenge for Labour's leadership. The Observer says Starmer could move as soon as Monday. A government source says he is still focused on governing, which is about where British politics is right now.

TYRE - Mona Khalil, the Lebanese conservationist who spent decades protecting sea turtles on Mansouri beach, died Friday from wounds she suffered in an Israeli strike on her home near Tyre. She was 76, according to local environmental groups. Her work helped turn the stretch of coast into a nesting site for endangered loggerhead and green turtles. Mourners gathered in Beirut. She is gone, and the beach she fought for is still there.

WASHINGTON - Former Olympian David Hearn was arrested Friday near the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool after police said he touched peeling material in the basin during a long bike ride. Hearn says he was just looking at the damage and did nothing wrong. President Trump has called the case vandalism and said multiple people have been arrested as the pool's renovation keeps going sideways.

WASHINGTON - Bolivia's president declared a 90-day state of emergency on Saturday, giving the military power to clear roadblocks that have choked food and fuel supplies for weeks. Rodrigo Paz said the blockades were no longer protest but an organized attempt to destabilize the country. By Sunday, authorities said there were no active blockades, though protesters still want fuel subsidies restored and austerity rolled back.

WASHINGTON - President Trump is threatening further attacks on Iran even as U.S. and Iranian negotiators keep talking, a split-screen that is doing nobody any favors. Vice President JD Vance, speaking in Switzerland, said the peace talks are making progress. The administration is trying to sell pressure and diplomacy at the same time. That usually works right up until it doesn't.

TAIPEI - Biing-seng Wu spent most of his career making the tiny chips that tell flat-screen pixels when to light up. That bet, made with his brother Jordan 25 years ago, has turned Himax Technologies into a quiet giant. The Tainan-based company says it has 40% of the car display-chip market, with customers from Ferrari to Porsche. Their stake is now worth about $1 billion.

LONDON - Danone sued Chobani in Manhattan federal court on Monday, accusing the U.S. yogurt maker of inflating protein claims on multiple-serving tubs of Chobani 20G Protein. Danone says the product copies its Oikos Pro line and undercuts its €1 billion Oikos brand on price. The fight matters because yogurt is one of the few foods getting a lasting lift from GLP-1 users chasing protein. Chobani says Danone is just throwing things out there.

LONDON - Serena Williams will play singles at Wimbledon as a wild card, the All England Club said Sunday, giving the 44-year-old her first Grand Slam main draw in four years.

She had already been set for doubles with Venus Williams, so yes, the sisters are back together too. Serena last played singles at the 2022 U.S. Open. She has seven Wimbledon singles titles. The draw is still the draw, but the headline is clear: she is back.

MIAMI - Cape Verde kept their World Cup dream alive Sunday, fighting back for a 2-2 draw with Uruguay and staying unbeaten in Group H.

Kevin Pina scored their first-ever World Cup goal from a free kick in the 21st minute, but Uruguay answered before halftime through Maxi Araujo and Agustin Canobbio. Helio Varela then pounced on a Fernando Muslera mistake just after the hour. Cape Verde now need one more result to reach the knockout round.

SOUTHAMPTON - Wyndham Clark survived a late charge from Sam Burns to win the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills by one shot on Sunday.

Clark started the day with a six-shot lead, watched it shrink to one, then steadied himself with a birdie at 16 and a two-putt par on 18 for a 3-over 73. Scottie Scheffler, chasing a career Grand Slam on his 30th birthday, never got close enough to matter. Clark got the trophy. The crowd got over it.

NEW YORK - André 3000 has released a 12-minute short film inspired by his 2025 EP, *7 Piano Sketches*, and it is now streaming on Mubi. Written by André 3000 and Graham Mason, who also directed it, the film follows him across New York City with a life-sized piano strapped to his back and a notebook in hand. He said the idea came from watching ants, which he admires for the way they work together. The man has a point.

PALM DESERT - Bob Dylan is playing “I’ve Made Up My Mind to Give Myself to You” every night on his new “Long Hot Summer ’26” tour, and he is not explaining himself. At Acrisure Arena on Saturday, the set leaned hard on deep cuts, the lights stayed low, and Dylan stayed mostly silent between songs. It was a show that asked for patience, then rewarded it. A few people left early. The rest stayed for the mystery.

LOS ANGELES - "House of the Dragon" is back, and Season 3 opens with Jace dead in the Battle of the Gullet. Rhaenyra Targaryen loses another son, and his dragon Vermax goes with him.

The premiere wastes no time. The Blacks and the Greens are still locked in the Dance of Dragons, with Daemon rallying new allies and the Black fleet heading into a naval fight that turns vicious fast. The episode is now streaming on HBO Max, and it does not ease you in.
