California Governor Gavin Newsom says the Justice Department is investigating him and his wife, alleging the Trump administration is targeting him for political reasons. In a video posted to social media, Newsom claimed federal agents have recently contacted friends and former employees seeking records and information. The governor, who is widely viewed as a potential Democratic presidential candidate, accused the administration of using federal resources to pursue political opponents. While the full scope of any investigations remains unclear, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press that multiple federal investigations involving individuals connected to Newsom are underway, including one related to his wife's taxes. The Justice Department has not publicly commented on the allegations. Newsom's office says it is prepared to cooperate with any lawful requests as questions continue about the nature and focus of the reported investigations.

A teenager charged in the death of his 18-year-old stepsister aboard a Carnival cruise ship is now in federal custody after a judge revoked his pretrial release. Timothy Hudson surrendered to authorities after his case was transferred from juvenile proceedings to adult court. Prosecutors had argued that Hudson should be detained pending trial, and a federal judge agreed, reversing an earlier decision that allowed him to live with a relative under electronic monitoring. Hudson is charged with first-degree murder and aggravated sexual abuse in connection with the death of his stepsister during a cruise. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. The case has drawn national attention due to the alleged crimes occurring aboard a cruise ship, placing the matter under federal jurisdiction. Hudson is expected to remain in custody as the case moves forward through the court system.

World leaders are gathering in France for the Group of Seven summit, with the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East dominating discussions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy joined leaders in Évian-les-Bains on Tuesday as nations discussed continued support for Ukraine and efforts to bring an end to Russia’s more than four-year-long invasion. Zelenskyy has also pushed for renewed diplomatic efforts and additional military assistance from allies. The summit comes just days after President Trump announced a tentative agreement aimed at ending the conflict with Iran. G-7 leaders are seeking details on the proposed deal and discussing steps to reopen shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy corridor that has been disrupted by the fighting. French President Emmanuel Macron is hosting the three-day summit, where leaders are also expected to address global economic challenges, energy security, and international cooperation. European leaders have emphasized maintaining support for Ukraine while monitoring developments in the Middle East. The summit runs through Wednesday, with additional meetings scheduled between President Trump, Zelenskyy, and other world leaders.

Iran is signaling that any long-term agreement to end the conflict with the United States could be tied to Israel's military presence in southern Lebanon. Iranian state television reported Tuesday that Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told foreign diplomats that ending the war would include an end to what Iran describes as Israel's occupation of Lebanese territory. State media also claimed that continued Israeli control of areas in southern Lebanon would violate the memorandum of understanding reached between the United States and Iran. The comments add another layer of uncertainty to the tentative U.S.-Iran agreement announced in recent days. While officials have discussed provisions related to reopening the Strait of Hormuz and reducing regional tensions, the full text of the agreement has not yet been released publicly. Israel has indicated it intends to maintain its position in parts of southern Lebanon as it continues operations against Hezbollah, setting up a potential point of contention as negotiators work toward a formal signing expected later this week. Recent violence in southern Lebanon has underscored the fragility of the situation despite diplomatic progress.

Iran’s national soccer team says it was ordered to leave the United States immediately after its opening World Cup match against New Zealand, raising concerns about player recovery and tournament logistics. Following Monday night's 2-2 draw at SoFi Stadium near Los Angeles, players and coaches were required to return to their training base in Tijuana, Mexico, rather than stay overnight in Southern California as originally planned. Iran coach Amir Ghalenoei said the team was informed of the change shortly after the match and was given little time to recover before traveling. Team officials said the decision added to a series of challenges Iran has faced during the tournament, including visa issues that prevented several key staff members and soccer federation officials from traveling to the United States. The match itself ended in a 2-2 draw against New Zealand, with Iran rallying from deficits twice to earn a point in its Group G opener. Despite political tensions and protests outside the stadium, thousands of fans packed the venue and loudly supported the team throughout the match. Iran’s remaining group-stage matches are scheduled against Belgium and Egypt as the team continues its quest to advance out of the World Cup group stage for the first time in its history.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — An initial agreement between the United States and Iran to extend their shaky ceasefire is inching toward a formal signing. That's despite questions Monday over the fate of Tehran’s nuclear program and an offensive by Israel in Lebanon that could prolong the fighting and scuttle the deal. The agreement signed electronically Sunday is meant to provide a meaningful truce in a monthslong war that has killed thousands across the Middle East, including the top leaders of Iran’s theocracy, and raised the prices of fuel, food and other basic goods far beyond the region. But logistical and military challenges underscored the fragile nature of the deal.

A child is dead and another person wounded after a Mississippi police officer shot at a vehicle while responding to a shoplifting call, authorities say. The shooting happened Sunday after three people, including the child, got into a vehicle after exiting a Walmart in Senatobia, according to the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, which is investigating the shooting. As police tried to stop the vehicle, the driver drove toward them and almost hit an officer, according to the bureau. An officer then shot at the vehicle, which drove away. The three people in the vehicle drove to a hospital, where the child was pronounced dead. MBI did not provide details on the child's age or manner of death. “As the investigation progresses and facts are verified, we will share as much information as possible,” the Senatobia Police Department wrote in a Facebook post. The department did not immediately respond to The Associated Press' inquiries. The Tate County Sheriff's Office, which was also present during the shooting, declined to comment. Walmart said it is working with law enforcement during the investigation. “We’re saddened by what took place at our Senatobia, MS, store,” a Walmart spokesperson said in a statement. Senatobia is about 40 miles (65 kilometers) south of Memphis, Tennessee.
