| Noor Zahi Salman, the second wife of the Orlando gunman, Omar Mateen, could face criminal charges if the FBI establishes that she knew he was planning an attack. Salman reportedly told agents that she tried to talk her husband out of the mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub. Peter King, the chairman of the homeland security subcommittee on counterintelligence and terrorism, told MSNBC: “If it’s true that she did know that it was going to happen and she tried to talk him out of it, then it’s possible criminal action [could be taken] against her.” The Reuters news agency, citing a law enforcement source, said Salman could be charged today. | Noor Zahi Salman, the second wife of the Orlando gunman, Omar Mateen, could face criminal charges if the FBI establishes that she knew he was planning an attack.

| The security firm that employed Mateen did not psychologically re-evaluate him after the FBI questioned him over false claims he was associated with the brothers behind the Boston Marathon bombing. Mateen was employed by the UK-based security company G4S as a guard at a gated retirement home in Port St Lucie. G4S gave him an “above average rating” with “no clinical interview required” after his initial screening. | The security firm that employed Mateen did not psychologically re-evaluate him after the FBI questioned him over false claims he was associated with the brothers behind the Boston Marathon bombing.

| As harrowing survivor accounts continue to come in, the contours of US politics in the aftermath of the Orlando massacre are still being defined. Barack Obama, in what was his most direct criticism of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to date, expressed anger over Trump’s plan to ban Muslims from entering the US, saying it fuelled Islamic State’s notions that the west hates Muslims. Trump retorted: “Obama is angrier with me than he is with the shooter.” Meanwhile, David Smith witnesses unusual harmony between the church and the gay community in Orlando. | As harrowing survivor accounts continue to come in, the contours of US politics in the aftermath of the Orlando massacre are still being defined.

| Hillary Clinton wins DC | Hillary Clinton wins DC |
| The final contest of the 2016 presidential primary season ended on Tuesday night with a strong 79-21 win for the former secretary of state Hillary Clinton over the Vermont senator Bernie Sanders in Washington DC. The win – in a district where Sanders never expected to do well – adds 20 delegates to Clinton’s victorious tally. The two candidates met after the polls closed. While voting was still going on, Sanders announced he would be holding a live video stream for supporters on Thursday night in which he said he would be discussing “what’s next for our campaign”. The event is widely expected to mark the formal end of his candidacy for the nomination, but many see instead a call to arms among supporters to continue fighting for the policies that have often put him at odds with the party’s senior leadership. | The final contest of the 2016 presidential primary season ended on Tuesday night with a strong 79-21 win for the former secretary of state Hillary Clinton over the Vermont senator Bernie Sanders in Washington DC.

| Elsewhere in Orlando, a child was dragged into a manmade lagoon at Disney World as his father battled the reptile for his son. A search is under way for the missing boy, who was on holiday with his parents and two siblings from Nebraska. The Orange County sheriff, Jerry Demings, said the family had been relaxing in a beach area. “The child was playing in the water, just a foot or so into the water, and the alligator came up,” he said. | Elsewhere in Orlando, a child was dragged into a manmade lagoon at Disney World as his father battled the reptile for his son.

| Polls indicating that voters could force the UK from the European Union next week are causing markets to slide toward near-panic conditions. Nearly $141bn has been wiped off the FTSE in past four days, and the pound is languishing at two-month lows against the dollar. Big losses are also reported across Europe, with investors fleeing to German bonds, pushing them into negative territory. In a measure of the mounting anxiety, European and UK central banks are preparing to backstop financial markets in the event of a vote to leave the union. The Guardian is running a live blog with the latest updates. | Polls indicating that voters could force the UK from the European Union next week are causing markets to slide toward near-panic conditions.

| Avocado crime wave | Avocado crime wave |
| Soaring global demand for avocados has created a booming black market for the food in New Zealand, where a poor harvest has pushed prices up to $4 each. Since January, there have been close to 40 large-scale thefts from avocado orchards in the country’s north island, with as many as 350 stolen at a time. Sgt Aaron Fraser of Waihi said there had been “spates” of avocado thefts in the past but nothing as sustained as the current activity. “These stolen avocados can carry risks,” he warned. “They are unripe, some have been sprayed recently and they may still carry toxins on the skin.” | Soaring global demand for avocados has created a booming black market for the food in New Zealand, where a poor harvest has pushed prices up to $4 each.

| Habib has written about attending a queer-friendly mosque in Toronto. Her photography project, Just Me and Allah, documents the lives of LGBT people in North America and Europe. It’s a fascinating look at some of the issues facing LGBT Muslim men and women in North America and Europe. “It is difficult to exist as genderqueer when the only Muslim spaces that exist are gender-segregated,” says Roo, a New Yorker. | Habib has written about attending a queer-friendly mosque in Toronto.

| Tennis world No 2 Andy Murray has maintained his hardline stance on Maria Sharapova’s conviction for taking a banned substance – on the day she announced her appeal against the two-year ban. “I do feel like if you’re cheating and are caught, and you are gaining advantage on your opponents, then you have to be punished for that. It’s not what’s fair or not, in terms of time.” The Scotsman said he would not accept ignorance of what drugs athletes were taking, banned or not, as a defense. | Tennis world No 2 Andy Murray has maintained his hardline stance on Maria Sharapova’s conviction for taking a banned substance – on the day she announced her appeal against the two-year ban. “I do feel like if you’re cheating and are caught, and you are gaining advantage on your opponents, then you have to be punished for that.

| Pope Francis has rejected a charitable donation from the government of President Mauricio Macri of Argentina. The gift, in the amount of 16,666,000 pesos (slightly less than $1.2m), appears to have been rejected partly due to superstition over the figures. According to the Vatican Insider – a publication specializing in papal affairs published by the Italian newspaper La Stampa – Francis himself ordered the return of the money. In a postscript, he wrote: “I don’t like the 666.” | Pope Francis has rejected a charitable donation from the government of President Mauricio Macri of Argentina.
