Speeding in your car to work, to pick up your children from school or to go from one errand to the next not only wastes money in gas and sends harmful emissions into the air, but it barely saves you time, according to new research. It is something to think about as gas prices stay elevated throughout the summer months and add pain to day-to-day driving and seasonal road tripping.

LIMA, Peru (AP) — A 5.5 magnitude earthquake shook the Andes region of Peru, killing at least five people, local authorities said on Sunday. More than 20 people were injured, and 300 have been displaced so far. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reported the quake struck on Saturday at 9:24 p.m. local time, with its epicenter located 2 kilometers (1.24 miles) west-southwest of the city of Sicaya, in Huancayo province. The incident took place at a depth of 10 kilometers (6.21 miles).

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has filed a first-ever petition to a secretive and dormant court created 30 years ago to consider government requests to deport so-called “alien terrorists” from the United States.

PHOENIX (AP) — As the head of the conservative Freedom Caucus in the U.S. House, Rep. Andy Biggs was one of the Republican Party’s most hard-line brawlers in Washington, championing President Donald Trump’s agenda while frustrating establishment leaders. U.S. Rep. David Schweikert says those uncompromising tactics are a losing recipe in Arizona, where Republicans have watched their power erode as voters rejected nominees seen as too extreme.

(NewsNation) — Nice weather is a bigger draw than lower living costs for Americans planning an out-of-state move, according to a new Redfin survey. Of those planning to move to a different state in the next 12 months, 22% cited better weather as a reason for relocating — the most common response among the survey’s 29 options. Natural disaster concerns and climate risks ranked second at 21%, suggesting Americans are weighing both the appeal and the potential downsides of a region’s climate.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The eerie glow of an orange sun through thick wildfire smoke might be unnerving, but the biggest risk from the haze is something much harder to see. Tiny particles in the air can cause a range of short-term and chronic health issues, experts say. Wildfire smoke can settle over cities for days — like the recent blanket over parts of the U.S. from burning fires in Canada, which has created hazardous air for millions of people across multiple states.

SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium (AP) — Kimi Antonelli will need to defend his lead from pole position at the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday as he aims to end his wait for a Formula 1 win and extend his standings lead. The 19-year-old Italian produced a stunning final lap in qualifying to beat Max Verstappen to pole on Saturday. He hasn’t won a grand prix since Monaco in early June, a stretch of three races, though he did win the sprint at Silverstone.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — One person was killed and eight others injured in an overnight Russian attack on Kyiv that included ballistic missiles, local authorities said. The attack began at around 1:30 a.m. local time and continued for several hours, with explosions echoing across the capital. The strikes sparked fires in five districts of the city, damaging residential buildings, office and industrial sites, a dormitory and vehicles, according to Ukraine’s State Emergency Service.

SOKOTO, Nigeria (AP) — Maryam Aminu was hardly surprised when the last of her six children was diagnosed with malnutrition in April for a second time. She was barely feeding the 18-month-old regularly, let alone with nutritious foods. Although the family in northwest Nigeria has struggled with economic hardship, their situation deteriorated after February, when her husband, Shehu Aminu, lost his job as a taxi driver due to a spike in the retail price of petrol caused by the war in Iran.

KYOTO, Japan (AP) — There’s a special moment when Katsushi Horikawa feels closer to the gods. It comes as he rides atop one of the towering floats pulled through the streets in a centuries-old procession in Japan. This is the Gion Matsuri festival, born more than 1,000 years ago as a ritual to ward off epidemics and celebrated in the former imperial city of Kyoto throughout July. “I am conscious of them when I’m riding on top,” Horikawa said.
