8 Saved, 5 to Go in Thai Cave Rescue

Rescuers pulled four more boys from a flooded cave complex in Thailand Monday in a daring rescue that continued to defy the odds, bringing to eight the number rescued so far. Five members of the group — initially 12 soccer players and their coach — remained in the cavern where they were trapped by rising water on June 23. Narongsak Osottanakorn, who is overseeing the search-and-rescue operation, said he hoped that they could all be brought out Tuesday. The four survivors rescued Monday have all been hospitalized. “All of them are safe and conscious,” Narongsak said.

Johnson Resigns as UK Foreign Secretary Over Brexit Discord

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson was the second minister to leave British Prime Minister Theresa May's Cabinet within 24 hours as May pushed ahead with a proposal that would keep Britain more closely tied to the European Union than hard-line conservatives want. Just last week, she appeared to have won the full Cabinet’s agreement on keeping Britain’s economy closely anchored to the European Union. But the resignations reopened speculation about a challenge to her leadership, just eight months before the country is due to leave the European Union. Conservative insiders predicted further resignations unless May drops her plan.

Trump Poised to Enter NATO Meeting as Wild Card Among Allies

President Donald Trump is widely seen as a wild card among allies as he heads into this week’s North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit meeting. Trump’s increasingly strident complaints about NATO and apparent willingness to give the benefit of the doubt to President Vladimir Putin of Russia have worried the U.S.’s staunchest allies — and some within his own administration — and threaten to transform the gathering in Brusselsinto a showcase for dysfunction rather than unity. In private conversations, Trump has dismissed the military alliance and the European Union, suggesting both exist to take advantage of the United States.

Amid Japan’s Flood Devastation, Survivors Dig Out

As rain poured and the creeks and rivers that course through the city of Kurashiki rose, Japanese soldiers patrolled and knocked on doors and asking if everyone was safe from the rains. The sudden surge of floodwaters in western Japan proved deadly for many. Of the 112 people killed as of Monday afternoon, 21 were in the Mabi district of Kurashiki, the public broadcaster NHK reported. To the west, Hiroshima prefecture reported 44 dead. An additional 78 people were missing and thousands were displaced. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe canceled a trip to Europe and the Middle East to respond.

Britain Suggests Russia Is Behind Latest Nerve Agent Case

Police scoured the area around Salisbury, England, for a container of a deadly chemical weapon Monday, as high-ranking British officials suggested Russia was probably responsible for a second set of nerve agent poisonings in the region. British officials said a couple who were sickened in the Salisbury area, one of whom died Sunday, had been poisoned with the same powerful nerve agent used in March against a former Russian spy and his daughter. Experts say it was likely whoever carried out the earlier attack discarded the container the nerve agent was transported in and it was found by the couple.

Where Trump Goes in Britain, Protesters Will Follow

Protesters across Britain have organized demonstrations against President Donald Trump as he embarks on a four-day visit to the country later this week. In London, a giant orange balloon depicting him as a baby having a tantrum will float over Parliament. There will be a “wall of sound” featuring mariachi music and the cries of children in detention centers calling out for their parents outside the U.S. ambassador's residence in London, where he is expected to stay. Protesters will also wait in front of Chequers, the country house outside London where he is expected to meet Prime Minister Theresa May.

Iran’s Shaming of Young Dancer Draws Backlash

Maedeh Hojabri liked to dance in her bedroom, record it and post clips to Instagram. But Hojabri, 19, lives in Iran, where women are not allowed to dance, and she was quietly arrested in May and her page was taken down, leaving her 600,000 followers wondering where she had gone. The answer came recently on state television when fans recognized a blurred image of a sobbing Hojabri. Whatever the authorities’ intent, the public shaming of Hojabri created a backlash as scores of Iranians have posted videos of themselves dancing in protest.
