Takeaways from Todd Blanche's confirmation hearing for attorney general
Todd Blanche, President Trump's pick for attorney general, faced tough questioning — from Democrats and some Republicans — over issues that have dogged the Justice Department for the past 18 months.

China and Xi favored over U.S. and Trump in many nations: Survey
WASHINGTON — The world has largely viewed the U.S. more favorably than China for years, but those opinions have flipped in Beijing's favor this year, according to a new poll by the Pew Research Center, a remarkable shift driven in part by tensions between the Trump administration and U.S. allies.

Cancer disparities researchers say federal funding changes have disrupted their work
Why are some people more likely to get cancer, and to die from it than others? Rural Americans, for instance, are 18% more likely to die from cancer overall, and Black women are 35% more likely to die from breast cancer than white women. That's according to a recent report from the American Association for Cancer Research, or AACR. Cancer disparity researchers study these gaps and how to close them. Their work has contributed to reductions in many disparities.

HONG KONG — China's economy slowed sharply to a 4.3% annualized pace of growth in the April-June quarter, the government said Wednesday, the weakest in over three years. The official data fell short of forecasts and was far below the economy's strong 5% pace of growth in January-March, despite a surge in exports driven partly by the boom in artificial intelligence, and by robust global demand for Chinese electric vehicles.

Spain sparkles to shock France 2-0 and advance to the World Cup final
Spain is going back to the World Cup final, after defeating France 2-0 in a dominant semifinal performance. It was a tough end for France, which had entered this tournament as a favorite, after winning the 2018 World Cup and losing to Argentina in the 2022 final. But France had no match for Spain, which has only allowed one goal this World Cup — and has not been beaten in two years (a 37-game streak: 28W - 9D - 0L).
