Iran's state TV says it has obtained a draft of an initial, unofficial framework for a memorandum of understanding with the US on ending their conflict.

Trump’s handpicked candidate may cost his party their most important state

Republicans are fretting that a candidate endorsed by Donald Trump may cost them in their most important state. Ken Paxton has claimed the nomination as the Republican Senate candidate in Texas, beating long-time incumbent John Cornyn. His comfortable win this morning over Cornyn comes after Trump threw his support behind Paxton last week after a bitter and expensive primary election. Ken Paxton lost his vision in one eye in a hide-and-seek mishap when he was 12. (AP) But Paxton has been so scandal-prone that it could give Democrats an opening in the conservative state. As Texas attorney-general, his own staff reported him to the FBI with bribery and corruption accusations. Paxton then fired the whistleblowers. He was impeached by the state House of R...

US charges Cuban ex-leader over 1996 plane attacks

US federal prosecutors overnight announced charges against former Cuban President Raúl Castro in the 1996 downing of civilian planes flown by Miami-based exiles as the Trump administration escalated pressure on the island's socialist government.
