Good evening. Here’s the latest.Good evening. Here’s the latest.
1. President Obama formally endorsed Hillary Clinton. “I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office,” he said. He earlier secured a pledge from Bernie Sanders to work closely with Mrs. Clinton to unify Democrats against Donald Trump, though no promise to drop out. Senator Elizabeth Warren is expected to endorse Mrs. Clinton tonight, and plans to deliver a speech calling Mr. Trump “a loud, nasty, thin-skinned fraud.”1.

2. Our analysis of voter data suggests Mr. Trump has a small but real chance of winning even without gains among nonwhite voters. Exit polls from 2012 — the source of conclusions that the Republicans needed to broaden their appeal — obscured the existence of millions of white, working-class and older voters with limited education. Those are the very voters who tend to support Mr. Trump.2. Our analysis of voter data suggests Mr. Trump has a small but real chance of winning even without gains among nonwhite voters.

3. A federal appeals court in San Francisco ruled that the Second Amendment did not guarantee the right to carry concealed weapons. The decision was sharply criticized by the National Rifle Association. But it is in keeping with decisions in other courts, which some analysts say minimizes the likelihood of a Supreme Court review. “This is a huge decision,” an expert in constitutional law said. “This is a major victory for gun control advocates.”3.

4. The World Health Organization advised millions of people across Latin America and the Caribbean to delay pregnancy, to avoid having babies with severe brain damage caused by the Zika virus. There is no vaccine against Zika, and efforts to slow its transmission have thus far failed.4.

5. Politicians, rabbis and government ministers visited a Tel Aviv restaurant district to show solidarity and resolve a day after Palestinian gunmen fatally shot four Israeli civilians there.

7. “Warcraft,” the first film to emerge from the video-game franchise, will be in broad release on Friday. Our reviewer credits the director, Duncan Jones (David Bowie’s son), for imbuing “a Hobbesian war of all against all” with “a little romance and campy winks.” It’s predictably heavy on cartoonish violence, she says: “Heads pop like grapes and so forth.”7. “Warcraft,” the first film to emerge from the video-game franchise, will be in broad release on Friday.

8. One of our best-read stories today offers a personal journey that illuminates New York City’s history of segregation. Nikole Hannah-Jones, an investigative journalist who has covered the nation’s struggle over integration, writes about how she and her husband chose to place their daughter in a segregated, high-poverty school. “True integration, true equality,” she writes, “requires a surrendering of advantage, and when it comes to our own children, that can feel almost unnatural.” 8. Some symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder may have a physical cause. A prominent researcher of brain injuries among military personnel says his team has identified signs of tissue damage caused specifically by explosions. “We talk about PTSD being a psychiatric problem — how people responded to the horror of warfare,” said the neuropathologist. “But at least in some cases, no — their brain has been damaged.”

9. A law allowing assisted suicide went into effect in California, making it the fourth and by far the largest state to allow the terminally ill to determine the timing of their death. The other three are Oregon, Washington and Vermont. Above, a California woman who has Stage 4 colon cancer and intends to ask for drugs to end her life. 9.

10. Finally, good news: Scientists appear to have made a breakthrough in capturing and storing the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. They dissolved the gas with water and pumped it into porous basalt in Iceland, where almost all of it adhered as calcite. It took a surprisingly short time, too — just two years. “It’s beyond all our expectations,” said an Icelandic project manager. 10.
