Violent protests at Trump rally in California | Violent protests at Trump rally in California |
With the tenor of the general election campaign now clearly defined, Hillary Clinton delivered a stinging rebuke to Donald Trump’s claim to understand international affairs on Thursday. Trump, meanwhile, described Clinton’s clear-headed foreign policy address – in which she described him as too unstable to be trusted with nuclear launch codes and warned he would take the country down a “truly dangerous path” – as “pathetic” and said she should be in jail. | With the tenor of the general election campaign now clearly defined, Hillary Clinton delivered a stinging rebuke to Donald Trump’s claim to understand international affairs on Thursday.

Violence later erupted at a Trump rally in California. Reports from San Jose described anti-Trump demonstrators chasing – and in some cases punching and attacking – departing Trump supporters, some of whom appeared intent on provoking and fighting. Riot police were deployed to control the crowd. The mayor of San Jose, Sam Liccardo, blamed Trump. “We don’t appreciate [anyone] utilizing campaign tactics of demagoguery,” he said. | Violence later erupted at a Trump rally in California.

Meanwhile, Trump has stepped up his race-tinged attacks against the judge in a court case over Trump University, accusing Gonzalo Curiel of a “conflict of interest” because of his Mexican heritage. | Meanwhile, Trump has stepped up his race-tinged attacks against the judge in a court case over Trump University, accusing Gonzalo Curiel of a “conflict of interest” because of his Mexican heritage. |

Philadelphia faces lawsuit over water testing | Philadelphia faces lawsuit over water testing |
The city is facing legal action over water test practices that may lead to underestimates of lead levels in municipal water supplies. Following a Guardian investigation that showed how 33 cities across 17 states have used problematic testing methods, the Philadelphia water department, accused by some experts of having water testing “worse than Flint”, is now facing a class action lawsuit. “The kind of construction the city is carrying out creates the perfect storm for lead pipe corrosion,” claims attorney Steve Berman. “Yet the city has decided to conceal this growing health hazard from its own citizens.” | The city is facing legal action over water test practices that may lead to underestimates of lead levels in municipal water supplies.

Missing Japanese boy found | Missing Japanese boy found |
Six days after his parents left him at the edge of a bear-inhabited forest as punishment for throwing stones at cars and people, seven-year-old Yamato Tanooka has been found. | Six days after his parents left him at the edge of a bear-inhabited forest as punishment for throwing stones at cars and people, seven-year-old Yamato Tanooka has been found. |
Tanooka was located by chance by military personnel in a hut on one of its exercise areas, three miles from where he is believed to have gone missing. A doctor who examined him after his ordeal in Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost island, said: “He was incredibly calm considering he had been missing for seven days. He didn’t panic at all.” After being reunited, his father – who acknowledges he took disciplinary action too far – said he’d apologised for creating “such an awful memory for him”. | Tanooka was located by chance by military personnel in a hut on one of its exercise areas, three miles from where he is believed to have gone missing.

Prince’s medical report confirms drug overdose | Prince’s medical report confirms drug overdose |
The Midwest medical examiner’s office has found that the 57-year-old singer, found dead at his suburban Minneapolis compound on 21 April, was killed by an overdose of Fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opiate. The fatal dose was self-administered, medical examiner A Quinn Strobl confirmed. The report provided few further details and did not describe how Prince obtained Fentanyl, a quick-acting painkiller used by anesthesiologists and often associated with overdose deaths among long-term users of opiate drugs. Investigators are still looking into whether the singer had a prescription drug problem, but friends and family members have expressed surprise at this outcome: they say Prince avoided alcohol and drugs and maintained a healthy lifestyle. | The Midwest medical examiner’s office has found that the 57-year-old singer, found dead at his suburban Minneapolis compound on 21 April, was killed by an overdose of Fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opiate.

Universe expanding faster than thought | Universe expanding faster than thought |
New measurements taken by the Hubble space telescope suggest the universe is expanding 9% faster than previously thought. The finding, announced by Nasa and the European Space Agency, was made by using the telescope to measure the distance to stars in 19 galaxies beyond the Milky Way. The discovery could test part of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity and raises new questions about the amount and characteristics of dark matter in the universe. Physicist and lead author Adam Riess said: “The ends are not quite meeting in the middle and we want to know why.” | New measurements taken by the Hubble space telescope suggest the universe is expanding 9% faster than previously thought.

Five soldiers dead in Texas as floods intensify | Five soldiers dead in Texas as floods intensify |
An army tactical vehicle carrying a dozen soldiers has overturned in flood conditions at Fort Hood in Texas. Five soldiers were confirmed dead, four were still missing and three were rescued after floods caused by extreme rains washed their light medium tactical vehicle from a low-water crossing and overturned it. The army has not released the names of the dead because it is still notifying relatives. Rain and flooding in the region are expected to worsen through Saturday, with up to 10 inches of rain pushing rivers and other waterways up over already record levels. | An army tactical vehicle carrying a dozen soldiers has overturned in flood conditions at Fort Hood in Texas.

Judge chastised for ‘complete disregard for the law’ | Judge chastised for ‘complete disregard for the law’ |
More than 100 defense attorneys have joined a complaint about the high-handed behavior of Las Vegas judge Conrad Hafen, whose courtroom antics have included placing public defender Zohra Bakhtary in handcuffs “to teach her a lesson”. The complaint claims that Judge Hafen’s mercurial rulings have on several occasions deprived people of proper defense hearings and resulted in unnecessary jail time. | More than 100 defense attorneys have joined a complaint about the high-handed behavior of Las Vegas judge Conrad Hafen, whose courtroom antics have included placing public defender Zohra Bakhtary in handcuffs “to teach her a lesson”.

Muslim, gay and devout | Muslim, gay and devout |
Torontonian Samra Habib describes how she once felt she had no right to call herself a Muslim because she’s queer and doesn’t wear a hijab. Though she did not attend a mosque, she maintained a private relationship with Allah, she writes. Then she found Toronto’s Unity mosque, one of a handful of prayer spaces that welcome queer Muslims. Founder El-Farouk Khaki says the notion of an inclusive mosque space that’s gender-equal and queer-affirming has fired up people’s imagination. “Everybody is welcome. People are embraced in the fullness of their authenticity”. | Torontonian Samra Habib describes how she once felt she had no right to call herself a Muslim because she’s queer and doesn’t wear a hijab.

US cyclist to skip Olympics over Zika fears | US cyclist to skip Olympics over Zika fears |
Tejay van Garderen has withdrawn from the Rio games over concern that the mosquito-borne Zika virus could pose problems for his pregnant wife. This comes after Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios also said he would not attend. Van Garderen competed in the road race at the 2012 Olympics. “Although the risks associated with the Zika virus can be minimal and precautions can be taken, my wife Jessica is pregnant, and I don’t want to risk bringing anything back that could potentially have an effect,” Van Garderen explained. | Tejay van Garderen has withdrawn from the Rio games over concern that the mosquito-borne Zika virus could pose problems for his pregnant wife.
