PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — More than a dozen people were arrested for things like disorderly conduct and unlawful use of a weapon in Portland, Oregon, during what the police chief described as a "long and arduous day" of competing protests. Police Chief Danielle Outlaw said at least 13 people were arrested and there were six minor injuries. The rally was organized by the right-wing group the Proud Boys. They were met by black-clad antifa protesters.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — An explosion in Afghanistan's capital blamed on a suicide bomber devastated a wedding party on a busy Saturday night, and authorities say dozens of people are dead or wounded. A witness reports more than 1,000 people had been invited, and fears are growing that the blast could be Kabul's deadliest attack this year. The blast shattered a period of relative calm in Kabul and comes amid widespread uncertainty as the United States and Taliban near a deal to end America's longest war.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Alaska's warmest month ever was good for gardens but hard on life elsewhere in the state. Alaska in July averaged 58.1 degrees, nearly a degree higher than the previous warmest month of July 2004. Hot, dry weather extended the wildfire season, melted sea ice and warmed ocean waters in the Bering Sea. Climate experts say the record heat fits a decades-long trend of increased warming.

CHICAGO (AP) — The Trump administration says a shift in immigration policy will keep only self-sufficient immigrants in the country. But health experts worry it could force low-income migrants to choose between needed services and their bid to stay legally in the U.S. The rule set to take effect in October would deny green cards to many immigrants who use Medicaid, as well as food stamps and other forms of public assistance.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City police say they've charged a West Virginia man suspected of placing two devices that looked like pressure cookers in a subway station. Larry Kenton Griffin II has been charged with the placing of a false bomb. The 26-old Griffin was taken into police custody early Saturday, a day after he was seen in surveillance video at Manhattan's Fulton subway station holding one of the objects police identified as rice cookers and determined they were not explosives.
