At least 20 wounded in Russian drone and missile attack on Kyiv
The G7 host country Canada invited Zelenskyy to the summit, where he is expected to hold one-on-one meetings with world leaders. He won't be meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump because Trump was returning early to Washington.

Russia has launched a record number of drones and missiles in recent weeks. Moscow escalated attacks after Ukraine's Security Service agency staged an audacious operation targeting war planes in air bases deep inside Russian territory.
Little progress has emerged from direct peace talks held in Istanbul, with the exception of prisoner exchanges, expected to conclude next week, said Zelenskyy.

Oil Fluctuates as Traders Watch for Israel-Iran War Escalation
(Bloomberg) -- Oil fluctuated as traders parsed comments from President Donald Trump on the conflict between Israel and Iran, with the market on edge about potential crude supply disruptions in the Middle East. Security Concerns Hit Some of the World's 'Most Livable Cities' As Part of a $45 Billion Push, ICE Prepares for a Vast Expansion of Detention Space As American Architects Gather in Boston, Retrofits Are All the Rage How E-Scooters Conquered (Most of) Europe Brent jumped as much as 2.2% before easing to trade near $73 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate was below $72, after futures closed lower on Monday on signs Iran was seeking a deescalation. Israel, however, has continued its attacks, which started Friday by targeting nuclear sites. In a social media post on Monday evening, Trump warned residents of Tehran to evacuate. The president said later that his early departure from the Group of Seven summit in Canada has 'nothing to do' with working on a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Axios had reported possible peace talks. So far, Iran's crude-exporting infrastructure has been spared, and most of the fallout has been confined to shipping. Navigation signals in the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf are facing increasing interference that's impacting positional reporting, according to the UK Navy, and some shipowners are reluctant to accept bookings in the region, citing safety concerns. The market remains focused on the Strait of Hormuz and any sign that Tehran may seek to disrupt crude flows through the waterway, through which about a fifth of the world's daily output passes. A blaze spotted in waters near the area on Tuesday is not security related, according to a maritime risk firm. Oil prices still remain significantly higher than where they were before the attacks began, which prompted record volumes of producer hedging as well as futures and options changing hands. Morgan Stanley has hiked its price forecasts, citing increased risk from the conflict. 'It's a jittery market but still not pricing in the worst-case scenarios on supply disruption,' said Vandana Hari, the founder of Vanda Insights in Singapore. 'There could well be bigger strikes ahead, but that is still not changing the market's calculus on supply risk.' Israel said it's taken control over much of Iran's airspace and severely damaged key facilities used in its missile and nuclear programs since the assault was launched on Friday, sparking fears of widening conflict in a region that produces around a third of the world's crude. 'Oil and shipping are rendered first-order tail risks,' Vishnu Varathan, head of macro for Asia ex-Japan for Mizuho Bank Ltd., said in a note. 'Doubling of oil prices in an effective blockade of the Hormuz is not outlandish.' --With assistance from Rob Verdonck and Yongchang Chin.

ICE Agents Could Be Banned From Wearing Masks Under New Proposal
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. California lawmakers are looking to stop local police officers and federal agents from wearing face masks or coverings while carrying out operations in the state. A move a leading Republican told Newsweek was made just to "score political brownie-points." The "No Secret Police Act" was introduced by Democrats in the state's Senate on Monday, following criticism that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were trying to hide their identities while carrying out raids in Los Angeles. "The recent federal operations in California have created an environment of profound terror. If we want the public to trust law enforcement, we cannot allow them to behave like secret police in an authoritarian state," state Senator Scott Wiener said in a press release. Why It Matters There has been growing criticism of ICE in recent months for allowing its agents to carry out targeted enforcement operations in plain clothes and face coverings. ICE officials argue that the masks are crucial to protect the identities of agents and their families from death threats. The agency is facing increased scrutiny as President Donald Trump directs his administration to remove millions of migrants without legal status. Federal agents in Portland, Oregon, on June 28, 2018. Federal agents in Portland, Oregon, on June 28, 2018. Alex Milan Tracy/Sipa via AP Images What To Know Democratic state Senators Scott Wiener of San Francisco and Jesse Arreguin of Oakland announced Monday that they will introduce SB 627, a bill that would prohibit local, state, and federal law enforcement officers from concealing their faces during interactions with the public. The lawmakers said the bill would include exemptions for SWAT teams and officers wearing medical masks during natural disasters like wildfires. Transparent riot gear would also be allowed, as it does not obscure the face. Law enforcement officers who conceal their faces while performing official duties could be charged with a misdemeanor under the new proposal. "Our first responders are responsible for vital work in protecting our communities, and trust and accountability are a key aspects in keeping our neighborhoods safe," Arreguín said. Across the aisle, California Republicans criticized the proposal, accusing their colleagues of attempting to "legislatively dox" ICE agents. "At a time when federal agents are literally under attack in our state, California's leaders should be rallying behind law enforcement, not seeking to score political brownie-points by putting them and their families at risk with legislation to publicly expose their identities," Senate Minority Leader Brian W. Jones told Newsweek. The legislation comes amid growing resistance in California to Trump's plans to carry out what he describes as the largest mass deportation operation in U.S. history. What People Are Saying? California Senate Minority Leader Brian W. Jones, a Republican, told Newsweek: "This bill is nothing more than an attempt to legislatively dox our law enforcement officers. In the name of liberal virtue signaling and pandering to his progressive base, Senator Wiener has introduced a bill that endangers the very men and women who've committed their lives to keeping us safe. "Thankfully, this bill has zero chance of being enforced as the California Legislature has no authority to impose requirements on federal officers, but the mere suggestion of such a dangerous policy is another disappointing sign of the left's distain for law and order in California." State Senator Scott Wiener said in a press release: "Law enforcement officers do critically important work to keep our communities safe, and they should be proud to show their faces and provide identifying information when doing so. It boosts trust in law enforcement, which makes it easier for law enforcement to do their jobs and makes California safer for all of us." State Senator Jesse Arreguín said in a statement. "This bill will ensure that law enforcement are easily identifiable, maintaining that trust and accountability." Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told CBS: "It's for the safety of those individuals or the work that they're doing as far as protecting their identity so they can continue to do investigative work." What Happens Next? The bill is likely to pass in a Democratic-controlled legislature in the state of California.

Trump says he wants "real end" to Iran's nuclear program, not just Iran-Israel ceasefire
President Trump says he wants "a real end" to Iran's nuclear problem, with Tehran giving it up "entirely," and not just a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. Speaking on Air Force One after cutting short his time at the G7 summit in the Canadian Rockies, Mr. Trump told reporters, including CBS News senior White House reporter Jennifer Jacobs that, "I didn't say I was looking for a ceasefire." Earlier, the president said on his Truth Social platform that, "Publicity seeking President Emmanuel Macron, of France, mistakenly said that I left the G7 Summit, in Canada, to go back to D.C. to work on a "cease fire" between Israel and Iran. Wrong! He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that. Whether purposely or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong. Stay Tuned!" Mr. Trump said on Air Force One that he wants "a real end," with Iran "giving up entirely" on its nuclear program. He predicted that Israeli isn't slowing up its barrage on Iran. "You're going to find out over the next two days. You're going to find out. Nobody's slowed up so far," he said. The president said he'll be in the White House Situation Room Tuesday morning, as opposed to Canada, monitoring developments in Middle East. He can be "well versed" in the White House, he noted, and not have to rely on phones to know what's happening. When asked about is thinking in calling for the evacuation of Tehran, Mr. Trump said he wants "people to be safe." He sounded undecided about sending special envoy Steve Witkoff or Vice President Vance or both to meet with Iranian negotiators. "I may," he said, but "it depends what happens when I get back" to Washington. Addressing any possible threat to U.S. interests, Mr. Trump said Iran knows not to touch U.S. troops. The U.S. would "come down so hard if they do anything to our people," he warned. Mr. Trump declined to say if the Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Lt. Gen. Dan Caine chairman and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have provided him with options in the event Iran attacks U.S. bases in Middle East. "I can't tell you that," he told Jacobs. The president said "we'll be talking to them" when asked if the "Gang of Eight" congressional leaders had been briefed on anything yet. But "it's not necessary," he added. And when asked if the U.S. would get involved in destroying Iran's nuclear program, he said he hoped it "is wiped out long before that." Iran is "very close" to a nuclear weapon, Mr. Trump asserted. "I don't care what she said — I think they were very close to having them," referring to testimony by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard in March. On efforts to help Americans leave the Mideast, with much of commercial airspace in the region closed, Mr. Trump said the administration is "working on that. We're doing the best we can." On any signs of North Korean or Russian involvement in aiding Iran, Mr. Trump said, "I haven't seen it."
