Trump attacks Obama and Clinton over IsisTrump attacks Obama and Clinton over Isis
Donald Trump called Barack Obama “the founder of Isis” at a rally in Sunrise, Florida, accusing the president of making a mess out of the Middle East when he came to power. “You know, Isis honors President Obama,” the Republican nominee said. “He is the founder of Isis. And I would say the co-founder would be crooked Hillary Clinton.”Donald Trump called Barack Obama “the founder of Isis” at a rally in Sunrise, Florida, accusing the president of making a mess out of the Middle East when he came to power. “You know, Isis honors President Obama,” the Republican nominee said. “He is the founder of Isis.

Clinton hits back over assassination innuendoClinton hits back over assassination innuendo
Clinton hit back at Trump yesterday over his inflammatory comments suggesting that “second amendment people” could stop her, saying this was a “casual inciting of violence”. The Democratic presidential candidate said the remarks proved her rival did not have the temperament to be president. “If you are running to be president or if you are president of the United States, words can have tremendous consequences,” Clinton said. Here, a gun owner rejects Trump’s comments.Clinton hit back at Trump yesterday over his inflammatory comments suggesting that “second amendment people” could stop her, saying this was a “casual inciting of violence”.

Biles back in action; golf comes to RioBiles back in action; golf comes to Rio
Simone Biles will be competing today, two days after winning gold in the team gymnastics event. The US, quite simply, is untouchable in gymnastics and it would take a miraculous effort, coupled with monumental mistakes, for Biles and team-mate Aly Raisman not to get gold and silver in the all-around final. Meanwhile, golf comes to the Olympics for the first time since 1904, while a day after one of the two Olympic pools turned green, the other appears to be going the same way. And no sooner had Nijat Rahimov of Kazakhstan won gold in weightlifting than he was accused of doping. Here is the schedule for day six and here is the medal table so far.Simone Biles will be competing today, two days after winning gold in the team gymnastics event.

Putin threatens UkrainePutin threatens Ukraine
Vladimir Putin has accused Ukraine of plotting terrorist attacks in Crimea and claimed two Russian servicemen were killed in clashes this week, as tensions over the peninsula rise to their highest level since Russia annexed it in 2014. In characteristically bellicose language, Putin accused Ukraine of playing a dangerous game. “We obviously will not let such things slide by,” the Russian president said yesterday, and accused Ukraine of resorting to the “practice of terror”. Ukraine has denied the allegations.Vladimir Putin has accused Ukraine of plotting terrorist attacks in Crimea and claimed two Russian servicemen were killed in clashes this week, as tensions over the peninsula rise to their highest level since Russia annexed it in 2014.

Silicon Valley housing official resigns over housing costsSilicon Valley housing official resigns over housing costs
Kate and Steve Downing typify the housing struggle of many in the northern California region that is home to many of the world’s wealthiest tech companies – the cost of owning a home near their jobs has simply become too steep for them. Their condition carries a special irony: up until this week, she served as a planning and transportation commissioner for Palo Alto. “If even people like me can’t remain in the heart of Silicon Valley, it tells you just how awful the situation is for everyone else,” she said.Kate and Steve Downing typify the housing struggle of many in the northern California region that is home to many of the world’s wealthiest tech companies – the cost of owning a home near their jobs has simply become too steep for them.

The case for swimmingThe case for swimming
As we remain transfixed by the spectacle of human amphibians in Rio, Philip Hoare reminds us that 54% of Americans can’t swim. “There’s a potentially fatal disconnect, it seems, between ourselves and the water,” Hoare writes, but from Jack London to Thoreau, there are many illustrious examples to follow. Katharine Hepburn, for instance, was famous for swimming in the ice off her home in Fenwick, Connecticut. “It’s stimulating and it’s fun,” she said, “because it irritates everybody. It makes them cowards.”As we remain transfixed by the spectacle of human amphibians in Rio, Philip Hoare reminds us that 54% of Americans can’t swim. “There’s a potentially fatal disconnect, it seems, between ourselves and the water,” Hoare writes, but from Jack London to Thoreau, there are many illustrious examples to follow.
