Shimon Peres: Israel’s Warrior For Peace Dies:

Shimon Peres, the Israeli elder statesman who shared a Nobel Prize for forging a peace deal between Israelis and Palestinians, has died. He served as a constant force for generations in Israeli politics.

Miss Universe Strikes Back:

Former “Miss Universe” Alicia Machado struck back Tuesday against insults hurled at her by Donald Trump, saying that he was “aggressive” and “really rude.”

Machado, who represented Venezuela in Trump’s 1996 “Miss Universe” competition said that Trump called her “Miss Housekeeping” and “Miss Piggy” when she gained weight after winning the beauty pageant.
“I know what I left with him and he knows, too. And he was really aggressive. He was really rude. He was a bad person with me,” she told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on “AC360.” “That is the story that I need to share with my community. We cannot accept no more insults for my Latin community. No more insults for the women. I know very well Mr. Trump and I can see the same person that I met 20 years ago.”

Keith Scott Shooting: What We Know AWeek Later:

It’s been a week since a Charlotte, North Carolina, police officer shot and killed Keith Lamont Scott.

The officer who shot Scott also was black — a fact that people on both sides are pointing to as they make their case.
Police and Scott’s family agree on at least one thing: More information needs to come out about what happened that day — and why.
Last week’s release of a cell phone video that Scott’s wife recorded during the shooting gave the public its first view of the shooting scene and its aftermath.
