Iran Says The Strait Is Closed. The U.S. Wants It Reopened.

OYO - Nigeria's military says it has freed 44 pupils and teachers abducted from schools in Oyo state nearly two months ago, and arrested some of the captors. The rescued group is being treated at an undisclosed hospital before going home. Families called the wait harrowing. The army said several soldiers died in the operation.

PHU QUOC - Fifteen Indian tourists died when a speedboat capsized near Phu Quoc island in southern Vietnam on Saturday, local media said.

The boat was carrying 32 Indian tourists and four crew members when it overturned about 400 metres from Hon May Rut Ngoai island in rough seas. Twenty-one people were rescued. The cause is still under investigation, and Indian officials said they were helping families and tracking the injured.

MIAMI GARDENS - Norway's Crown Prince Haakon was in the stands Saturday for his country's World Cup quarterfinal against England at Hard Rock Stadium, sitting beside FIFA president Gianni Infantino. It was his first match of the tournament after staying home while Crown Princess Mette-Marit recovered from a lung transplant. Norway has never been this far. The royal family clearly intended to enjoy the moment.

MADHYA PRADESH - A judge in central India is getting death threats after sentencing 14 men to life in prison for lynching a cattle trader to death. Tabassum Khan, a Muslim judge in Madhya Pradesh, convicted the men last week in a 2022 case that the court called mob lynching. The abuse online has focused on her religion, not her ruling. She now has police protection.

NEW YORK - The Justice Department has subpoenaed several New York Times journalists after the paper reported security concerns about President Donald Trump's new Air Force One, the Times said Saturday.

Federal agents delivered some of the subpoenas to reporters' homes, and the orders require them to testify before a Manhattan grand jury on Wednesday. The Times called it a brazen attempt to intimidate journalists and identify their sources. The department says it is investigating illegal leaks of national security information.

WASHINGTON - President Trump let a bipartisan housing affordability bill become law overnight Friday after refusing to sign it in protest over the Senate's failure to pass his SAVE America Act voting bill. He still has not said whether he will veto the measure, which would speed up housing approvals and curb some institutional homebuying. For now, the bill is law. The president just isn't pretending to like it.

HOUSTON - Witnesses to the fatal ICE shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo say he was not threatening agents when he was killed during a traffic stop Tuesday. A lawyer for three men in the van said they saw the shot fired from the passenger side, not from in front of the vehicle, and disputed DHS claims that Salgado Araujo rammed an ICE vehicle. The agency says it was looking for someone else.

WASHINGTON - A federal judge on Friday dismissed the seditious conspiracy case against four Proud Boys members tied to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, after the Justice Department moved to drop it under President Trump's clemency push. Judge Timothy Kelly said the men had been convicted of serious offenses, but the executive branch had the power to end the case. It is the latest Trump move to unwind Jan. 6 prosecutions.

SEATTLE - The Seahawks have a new owner, at least on paper. The Paul G. Allen estate has agreed to sell the team to a group led by Vinod Khosla for $9.612 billion, a record for an NFL franchise. The deal still needs league approval, and the Khoslas must give up their 49ers stake before taking control. Fans, predictably, are already furious.

MILWAUKEE - The Bucks are bringing back Gary Trent Jr. on a four-year, $64 million deal, a tidy raise for a guard who was on a minimum contract a year ago.

The contract is fully guaranteed and has no options. Trent, 27, opted out of his minimum player option in late June after a season that was uneven by any standard, with 38.7 percent shooting overall and 36 percent from 3-point range. Milwaukee is paying for the upside anyway. That is the market now.

MIAMI GARDENS - Jude Bellingham scored twice, including the winner in extra time, as England beat Norway 2-1 and reached the World Cup semifinals.

Norway struck first through Andreas Schjelderup in the 36th minute, but Bellingham leveled before halftime and finished the comeback three minutes into extra time. England will face Argentina or Switzerland next. Erling Haaland’s tournament ends here, and so does Norway’s best run ever.

DALLAS - Spain beat Belgium 2-1 on Friday and set up a World Cup semifinal against France, with Mikel Merino scoring the winner in the 88th minute. Lamine Yamal was named man of the match despite not scoring, then said France should fear Spain. He also shared a viral postgame moment with his little brother. The teenager has one World Cup goal, and he is not pretending that bothers him.

LONDON - Linda Noskova won Wimbledon on Saturday, beating fellow Czech Karolina Muchova 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 after wasting five match points in a second-set wobble.

The 21-year-old, playing her first Grand Slam final, reset in the decider and closed it out with a service winner for her first major title. She then dedicated the win to her late mother, Ivana. Muchova, who helped drag the match into chaos, was left in tears.

LOS ANGELES - Jack White’s new album, *Frozen Charlotte*, lands like the sequel fans were hoping for after 2024’s *No Name*. Variety says it keeps the same heavy, brawny rock sound, but with a sharper edge. White spent years bouncing between acoustic records and more chaotic experiments. Here, he sounds locked in. The review calls it a return to the vein of intricate, blowhard blues-rock, only angrier. That seems about right.

LONDON - Twenty-five years after Legally Blonde, the film is still recruiting lawyers. Angela McCarthy, a senior associate at Lawrence Stephens in London, said Elle Woods made law look glamorous, but more important, made it look possible. She said the character's insistence on staying true to herself still matters in a profession that remains male dominated at the top. Amazon's Elle prequel has also become a hit, with the show drawing the most viewers on Prime Video in its first week.

NEW YORK - Jay-Z spent Friday night at Yankee Stadium turning *Reasonable Doubt* into a full-scale family reunion, with Beyoncé, Blue Ivy Carter, Nas and Alicia Keys all making appearances.

The Brooklyn rapper performed the 1996 debut front to back, then kept folding in hits from the rest of his catalog for a crowd that filled the ballpark. The show was billed as the first of three anniversary dates, with a bonus set called "Extra Innings" still hanging out there. For a record this old, it looked remarkably alive.
