St. Louis has joined the growing list of Democrat-led cities seeking to help women gain abortion access, even in red states that have largely banned the procedures. Not long after Democratic Mayor Tishaura Jones on Thursday signed a measure providing $1 million for travel to out-of-state clinics, Republican Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt sued to stop what he called a “blatantly illegal move to spend Missourians’ hard-earned tax dollars" on abortions. The June decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade prompted several states, including Missouri, to ban most abortion procedures. Some cities are helping pay for travel to clinics. Others are urging law enforcement not to prioritize abortion ban enforcement.

Florida law enforcement officers have told a jury about the horror they found inside a high school after 17 people were massacred there four years ago. Three police officers testified Friday that they found dead, dying and wounded students minutes after Nikolas Cruz fled Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. One described talking to the school's dying athletic director. Another spoke of finding a wounded student who weakly raised his hand seeking help. Jurors were shown photos of dead students and staff. The 23-year-old Cruz pleaded guilty to murder in October, but the jury must decide if he is sentenced to death or life without parole. The shootings took place on Valentine's Day 2018.

The 26-year-old is facing a likely league suspension for violating its personal conduct policy following allegations by two dozen massage therapists in Texas that he was sexually inappropriate with them. Watson’s fate is being decided by a league disciplinary officer. Retired federal judge Sue L. Robinson has spent the past few weeks reviewing the case following a hearing and briefs submitted by the quarterback’s legal team, the NFL Players Association and league.

Italian police say three Italian environmental activists glued their hands to the glass protecting Botticelli's masterpiece painting “Spring” in the Uffizi Galleries. The museum in Florence says thanks to the glass, no damage was done to the iconic painting in the incident Friday morning. Carabinieri police said two young women and a man, all Italians who had bought entrance tickets, staged the protest in the Uffizi's room dedicated to the painter.

PHILADELPHIA — With "Nope" now in theaters, it looks like director Jordan Peele has yet another hit on his hands, following the massive success of "Get Out" and "Us." While we expected Peele's latest directorial effort to be good, we didn't expect to find a Philadelphia connection to the movie.
The North Carolina General Assembly won’t work next week, even though it’s scheduled for a brief return to Raleigh after adjourning in early July. The House and Senate plan floor meetings for Tuesday, but spokespeople for House Speaker Tim Moore and Senate leader Phil Berger said Friday that no votes are expected. That means Republicans will set aside for now any attempts to override four new vetoes by Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper. The legislature has lined up brief work periods every month through December to address vetoes, unforeseen happenings or negotiated legislation. That could include a Medicaid expansion bill.
Italy's politicians are in campaign mode after coalition allies toppled Premier Mario Draghi's government. Italy's president said he reluctantly accepted Draghi's resignation and put a premature end to the Italian Parliament's term. Perhaps the quickest to spring into action was right-wing leader Matteo Salvini, who is keen on becoming premier himself. His League party was one of the coalition allies that sabotaged Draghi. Salvini gave a state TV interview hours after President Sergio Mattarella paved the way for an early election. Instead of the half-buttoned shirt and jeans or beach shorts he often favors, he wore a suit and tie. Former Premier Silvio Berlusconi began his party's campaign with a populist pledge on Friday.

Indigenous Canadians are voicing a range of skepticism, wariness and hope as Pope Francis prepares to arrive in their country next week. He's scheduled to deliver a historic apology for abuses at Catholic-run residential schools. Generations of Indigenous children were sent to the schools in a system designed to sever them from their tribal families and traditions. Thousands died from disease, fire and other causes at Catholic and Protestant-run schools. Francis apologized in April to a Canadian Indigenous delegation at the Vatican for the “deplorable conduct” at the schools. Now he'll be apologizing on Canadian soil at the site of a former residential school.

For the families and friends of Ukrainian soldiers killed this spring in the siege of the massive Azovstal steel mill in the city of Mariupol, it has been difficult to begin finding closure. Questions of how, where and when their loved ones died remain unanswered, and some remains may never be recovered. Russia has turned over some of the bodies, along with prisoners of war. At a funeral Thursday for a soldier who was finally identified, a former POW captured at the sprawling plant two months ago was able to finally say a farewell to his friend, 26-year-old Ilya Honcharov.
