"Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, we've been asked to tell you, our officials have asked to tell you to, we need evacuation right away," an overhead announcement said Saturday evening. The delays forced the cancellation of some performances. <p>The president downplayed the intense heat in a social media post Saturday afternoon. <p>"Despite the heat, which isn't as bad as predicted, the crowds in D.C. are INCREDIBLE," he said. <p>The preliminary high temperature in Washington, D.C., Saturday was 102 -- making it the hottest July Fourth on record for the city, according to ABC News' meteorologists. This breaks the previous record high of 100 degrees set on July 4, 1919.

The embarrassing news was confirmed by police, who said that Gian Rachtelli was charged with "lewd, indecent, or obscene acts." Three separate witnesses told officers they saw the man performing what appeared to be a sexual act while watching female circus performers at the event. The offence took place during a Cirque Mechanics performance. The 54-year-old was later identified as a Donald Trump-supporting livestreamer, also known as "Manny," who happened to be broadcasting live from the event.

A clip shared on social media platform X, which has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times, appears to show people walking toward exits during Trump's June 24 speech on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Newsweek analysis of official C-SPAN footage from the event found the widely shared moment corresponds to 9:08 p.m. local time"roughly halfway through the speech, not near its conclusion. A separate post from Jared Poland, who was reporting live from the event on the ground, said: "The crowd has really thinned out since Trump began speaking around 8:50pm."

The survey, conducted June 16"20 among 1,100 respondents (plus or minus 3 percentage points), found 66% disapprove of Trump, the highest disapproval and lowest approval ever recorded by the pollster during either of his presidencies. Among those who disapprove of Trump, economic pessimism is widespread: 82% say they expect conditions to worsen over the next year, according to the poll.

On Wednesday, Bruce Lion, who was arrested over the weekend, was set to be arraigned. But the proceeding was reportedly postponed because the 64-year-old would not come out of his jail cell. Cunin detailed moments when Lion allegedly approached the rabbi's wife and made antisemitic statements: "I hate you, Jews. You killed my lord and savior. Your husband killed my lord and savior." Another instance included allegedly hosing down a congregant's car. This behavior allegedly went on for weeks, with several neighbors calling the police almost daily, according to Cunin.

"Lethality is really what the army is all about, so we're here to learn things about the best competitors in the army, about the platforms and how to display combat excellence in this environment," he told Stars and Stripes military news organisation, echoing the bellicose language of the US secretary of defence Pete Hegseth. Over the course of a week, the Sullivan Cup pits various branches of the US military against each other, along with a handful of international teams. In the end, the most "lethal" team came not from the US military but from Ireland.

The home goods retailer will resurface through the rebranding of 98 The Container Store locations, including 12 storefronts in California, the company announced Thursday. Five locations are in Southern California, including one in Los Angeles and another in El Segundo. "After their bankruptcy and closure of every store, like most Americans, we thought Bed, Bath & Beyond no longer existed," Newsrom said on X. "We wish them well in their efforts to become relevant again." <p>The retailer's inability to ignore California shows how the state is still an economic leader, with a gross domestic product higher than that of any other state and all but three countries. <p>More companies have moved out of the state than moved in over the last decade. Yet that net loss is dwarfed by the more than 7,000 companies founded in California during that time, according to the Public Policy Institute.
