U.S. Launches More Strikes As Iran Says Hormuz Is Closed

BANGKOK - A fire tore through a packed pub near Chatuchak Weekend Market just after midnight, killing at least 27 people and injuring 63, Thai officials said. Firefighters got it under control in about half an hour. Investigators are looking at the venue’s escape routes and a possible electrical fault near the stage. Smoke, officials said, likely did most of the killing.

LA GUAIRA - Venezuela is setting up temporary housing for families left homeless by last month’s earthquakes, as the death toll climbed to at least 4,490. National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez said Saturday the government has set aside more than 40 plots of land in La Guaira for new homes. More than 19,000 people are already in makeshift camps, and schools will soon have to empty out. The rubble is still being searched.

ALMERÍA, Spain - Hundreds of firefighters are still battling a fast-moving wildfire in southern Spain that has killed at least 12 people and scorched 6,600 hectares, or about 16,300 acres. Officials said calmer winds and higher humidity helped crews start containing the blaze on Saturday, but the damage in villages like Bédar is already severe. A British couple was found badly burned in a ravine and remains in intensive care.

WASHINGTON - Mitch McConnell said Sunday he will not return to the Senate “quite yet” after a fall, a brief loss of consciousness and a mild case of pneumonia. The 84-year-old Kentucky Republican said doctors have moved him to a rehabilitation center and are still trying to figure out what caused the incident. He said he is regaining strength, but the vote count will have to wait.

JERUSALEM - U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna says armed Israeli settlers detained him and his team for about 90 minutes during a visit to the occupied West Bank, then blocked the road until Israeli troops arrived. Khanna said the soldiers sided with the settlers. Israel’s military says troops dispersed civilians and reopened the route. The dispute is now turning into a political food fight.

HOUSTON - Protests have been building in Houston after ICE officers killed a Mexican man who had lived in the U.S. for more than 30 years. Local investigators and activists are still searching for video that could explain what happened. Jason Allen reported the case for CBS News, and the basic facts are still the ones driving the anger: who was shot, and why.

WASHINGTON - More than 58 million Americans were under weather alerts Sunday as a heat dome peaked over the West, wildfires burned and severe thunderstorms moved across large parts of the country. Forecasters warned of widespread highs between 105 and 115 degrees in some areas, with the National Weather Service saying the dangerous heat could linger through next weekend. The forecast is ugly, and it is not done.

SEATTLE - The Seahawks have agreed to be sold to a group led by tech investor Vinod Khosla for $9.612 billion, an NFL record. The deal still needs league approval, and Khosla will have to give up his 49ers stake before it closes. Paul Allen bought the team in 1997 for $194 million. Fans, naturally, are not thrilled.

TOKYO - Seven & I Holdings is weighing a share sale to SoftBank and PayPay, a sharp break from its old habit of staying fiercely independent. The deal could bring in several hundred billion yen and give the convenience-store giant deeper access to payments and AI. Investors barely blinked. The stock rose less than 1% in Tokyo trading Monday.

LONDON - Jannik Sinner defended his Wimbledon title Sunday, beating Alexander Zverev 6-7, 7-6, 6-3, 6-4 for his fifth Grand Slam crown.

The world No. 1 dropped the first set, then took control as Zverev appeared bothered by a knee issue after a slip in the third. Sinner has now won 10 straight matches against the German. He also said tennis is better with more rivals pushing him, including Carlos Alcaraz.

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

Norway led through Andreas Schjelderup, and England needed Bellingham to drag them back before halftime and then finish the job three minutes into extra time. Thomas Tuchel was not in a celebratory mood afterward, calling the performance sloppy and saying England were lucky. Next up: Argentina.

DALLAS - France, Spain, England and Argentina are the last four standing at the 2026 World Cup, and for once the rankings are not lying. The top four teams in FIFA’s list all made the semifinals for the first time in tournament history, and all four have won the trophy before. France plays Spain on Tuesday, then England meets Argentina on Wednesday. Boring? Not even close.

LOS ANGELES - Bryce and Trinity won Season 8 of Love Island USA after the public vote in the finale, taking home the $100,000 prize.

The pair had been together since the first coupling and stayed steady through the month-long run. Aniya and Carl finished second, Melanie and Sincere were third, and Kayda and Zach came in fourth. The Peacock series has only gotten bigger, with its season premiere drawing 3.7 million views, the streamer said. Ariana Madix also picked up her first Emmy nomination for hosting the show.

HOLLYWOOD - Christopher Nolan says he made his new film, *The Odyssey*, as if it might be his last. That is how he ended up shooting the first feature ever made entirely on IMAX film, a format prized for image quality that can run up to three times higher than digital cameras.

The film opens July 17 and stars Matt Damon as Odysseus. Nolan, whose movies include *Oppenheimer*, *Dunkirk* and *The Dark Knight*, said he wants the fullest flavor of a story on screen. For him, that means going bigger until the machine starts to complain.

ROME - For decades, the Vatican sent Italian children born out of wedlock to America as orphans, and many mothers never saw them again. CBS News reports that from 1950 to 1970, about 3,500 children were sent on orphan visas even though most were not orphans at all. Now some of those adoptees are finding their birth families, and the questions left behind are still ugly. John Campitelli, one of them, spent more than a decade searching for his mother.
