| Three finalists – New Jersey governor Chris Christie, Indiana governor Mike Pence and former House speaker Newt Gingrich – are reportedly in the running to become Donald Trump’s vice-presidential pick. Pence may be the strongest candidate for the job despite clashing on free-trade policies. An evangelical Christian, Pence is fond of saying: “I’m a conservative, but I’m not angry about it.” | |
| Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton has said the Trump campaign is “pitting Americans against Americans”, Trump is suing a former aide, and the tensions between Trump and US supreme court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg – who called the presidential hopeful “a faker” – continue to simmer. Have her words harmed her legacy? | Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton has said the Trump campaign is “pitting Americans against Americans”, Trump is suing a former aide, and the tensions between Trump and US supreme court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg – who called the presidential hopeful “a faker” – continue to simmer.

| Police in California have released graphic body-camera footage of officers repeatedly shooting an unarmed teenager. The video appears to show officers firing at 19-year-old Dylan Noble at a gas station in Fresno on June 25 even as he was lying on his back and barely moving. “They just wanted to shoot him,” said Darren Noble, Dylan’s father, after watching the footage. “They’re just trigger-happy.” Noble’s family have launched legal action against the city, alleging that the shooting was “an inexcusable use of excessive force”. Police claim that the officers believed Noble had a gun. None was found. | Police in California have released graphic body-camera footage of officers repeatedly shooting an unarmed teenager.

| Britain’s new prime minister, Theresa May, has formed a center-right government, appointing leading Brexiteer Boris Johnson as foreign secretary and David Davis as special minister tasked with taking the UK out of the European Union. May promised to fight “burning injustice” in British society. Under the banner of a one-nation brand of conservatism, May promised to make Britain “a country made for everyone”. The new PM promised a government “driven not by the interests of the privileged few but by yours. We will do everything we can to give you more control over your lives.” Foreign capitals are taking stock of Johnson’s appointment and wondering if it’s a joke. Here’s a who’s who of the new appointments. | Britain’s new prime minister, Theresa May, has formed a center-right government, appointing leading Brexiteer Boris Johnson as foreign secretary and David Davis as special minister tasked with taking the UK out of the European Union.

| Americans waste an amount of food equal to the weight of a sedan car every second – or about 60m tons a year. It starts at the farm and ends at supermarkets, restaurants and all of us. Along every step of the way, we leave a trail of waste. The Guardian traced the life cycle of six popular foodstuffs from farm to fork to get to the root of why so much is wasted. | Americans waste an amount of food equal to the weight of a sedan car every second – or about 60m tons a year.

| Las Vegas billionaire Sheldon Adelson is seeking $750m in taxpayer money on a gamble to relocate the Oakland Raiders to the desert city. If approved, it would be the largest taxpayer subsidy ever provided for an NFL stadium, and Adelson – the casino mogul worth an estimated $25.1bn – would be a principal beneficiary. Adelson’s company, Las Vegas Sands Corporation, estimates the stadium will generate $800m a year in economic activity. Critics say this is “wildly optimistic”. | Las Vegas billionaire Sheldon Adelson is seeking $750m in taxpayer money on a gamble to relocate the Oakland Raiders to the desert city.

| Calvin Harris has criticized the singer in a dispute over the credits of This Is What You Came For, which Harris released as a collaboration with Rihanna. Harris says Swift wrote the lyrics but he did the rest. “Hurtful to me at this point that her and her team would go so far out of their way to try and make ME look bad at this stage though,” Harris said, in a series of tweets directed at Swift. “I figure if you’re happy in your new relationship you should focus on that instead of trying to tear your ex bf down for something to do.” | Calvin Harris has criticized the singer in a dispute over the credits of This Is What You Came For, which Harris released as a collaboration with Rihanna.

| At least half a million American citizens have enrolled in Mexican schools since 2010 amid a rising wave deportations and voluntary repatriations driven by the US economic downturn and family obligations. Tens of thousands more are likely to follow as unfavorable court rulings force the hands of immigrant families who are unable to gain legal recognition. The transition can be tough for many American-born children who face a shock of cultural and language changes. | At least half a million American citizens have enrolled in Mexican schools since 2010 amid a rising wave deportations and voluntary repatriations driven by the US economic downturn and family obligations.
