MIAMI (AP) — Health officials say Miami's South Beach has been identified as a second site of Zika transmission by mosquitoes in the U.S. Five cases of Zika have been connected to mosquitoes in Miami's Wynwood arts district, bringing Florida's caseload to 36 infections not related to travel outside the U.S. Battling the insects will be more of a challenge in the new zone because high-rise buildings make it impossible to do aerial spraying.

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) — A preliminary assessment found 96 single-family homes have been destroyed in Southern California's huge wildfire. Officials say 213 outbuildings were also burned.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort is out. Paul Manafort's departure comes in the wake of yesterday's campaign shake-up and revelations about his lobbying work for a pro-Russia party in Ukraine. Trump's son, Eric Trump, told Fox News in an interview that will air Sunday that his father worried questions about Manafort's past were taking attention away from the campaign.

VALDOSTA, Ga. (AP) — A judge in Georgia says the parents of a teenager found dead inside a rolled-up high school gym mat will have to pay attorney fees for people accused of wrongdoing in a civil lawsuit. A hearing is reportedly set for Monday in Valdosta for the parents of 17-year-old Kendrick Porter. Johnson's parents insist he was killed and that there was a cover up. Justice Department investigation found insufficient evidence to charge anyone.
