WEEKEND TOP STORIES

-------------------------------------

------------------

SATURDAY

------------------

PANDEMIC-AID-GOVERNMENTS -- Time is running out for local governments to use billions of dollars of federal pandemic relief funds. The American Rescue Plan passed by Congress in 2021 provided $350 billion to states, counties, cities and other governments. They must obligate the money for specific purposes by the end of this year or give the rest back. Data from the U.S. Treasury Department shows that 80% of the funds nationally had been obligated as of this spring. But some had made more progress than others. An Associated Press analysis found that about 3,500 local governments reported obligating less than 25% of their funds. UPCOMING: 1,170 words, photos by 1 a.m. Eds: This is the Sunday Spotlight.

BRITAIN-PRINCE-HARRY-TURNING-40-- Prince Harry was always something different. From the moment he first appeared in public, Harry was the ginger-haired scamp who stuck his tongue out at photographers. He was the boisterous adolescent who was roundly criticized for wearing a Nazi uniform to a costume party, and a young man who gave up the trappings of royal life and moved to Southern California with his American wife. And now Harry is turning 40, a milestone that marks the halfway point in many lives. UPCOMING: 1,110 words, photos by 12 a.m.

MEXICO-CHALCO-FLOODS -- Sewage-infused floodwaters have invaded streets, homes and businesses in Chalco, a low-income suburb southeast of Mexico City, for over a month. The low-lying area at the edge of what was once an ancient lake has long been plagued by seasonal flooding, but residents say this year has been worse, a combination of unchecked growth and failing infrastructure. According to the Government of Chalco, more than 2,000 homes and over 7,000 residents have been affected and the water has reached up to 5 feet in some areas. UPCOMING: 1,040 words, photos, video by 2 a.m.

BELARUS-LOSING-IDENTITY -- Belarusians are experiencing a new wave of Russification as Moscow expands its economic, political and cultural dominance to overtake the identity of its neighbor. Perhaps the biggest sign is the decline of the Belarusian language, which is close to but distinct from Russian. UPCOMING: 1,200 words, photos by 12:30 a.m.

REL-KENYA-CULT-DEATHS -- In one of the deadliest cult-related massacres ever, more than 430 victims have been recovered since police raided Good News International Church in a Kenyan forest. Seventeen months later, many in the nearby villages are still shaken by what happened despite repeated warnings about the church's leader. UPCOMING: 1,200 words, photos, video by 2:30 a.m.

IRAN-PROTESTS -- On the streets of Iranian cities, it's becoming more common to see a woman passing by without a mandatory headscarf, or hijab, as the second anniversary of the death of Mahsa Amini and the mass protests they sparked approaches. UPCOMING: 900 words, photos, video by 2:30 a.m.

SCI-LUNAR-ECLIPSE -- The Earth will soon take a bite out of the full supermoon, producing a partial lunar eclipse. Tuesday night, the Earth will pass between the sun and moon, casting a shadow that will darken a sliver of the moon. The full moon that night will also be a supermoon, appearing slightly larger in the sky. The sight will be visible in clear skies across North and South America, Africa and Europe. UPCOMING: 320 words, photo by 11 a.m.

SUNDAY

-----------------

ABORTION-RURAL-CLINIC -- A new abortion clinic brought the debate over reproductive rights to a small college town in the southeast corner of Kansas, one of the few states left in the region still allowing abortions. Its location is strategic, accessible for residents of Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas. Before Roe v. Wade was overturned, a religious, Republican-leaning semi-rural location like this would have been unlikely to host an abortion clinic, but that is changing across the country. UPCOMING: 1,600 words, photos, video by 12:01 a.m. WITH: ABORTION-RURAL-CLINIC-TAKEAWAYS. Eds: This is the Monday Spotlight.

IRAN-PROTESTS -- Iran marks the second anniversary of the 2022 death of Mahsa Amini and the start of mass demonstrations against its theocratic government. UPCOMING: 800 words, photos, video by 3:30 a.m.

MED-CHILDHOOD-VACCINATIONS -- Kentucky's largest city has been praised for managing to raise childhood vaccination rates at a time when may places are trying to prevent further declines. But Louisville's success is limited and the city has not been able to achieve herd immunity thresholds so far. City officials face challenges that include tight funding, misinformation and well-intended bureaucratic rules that discourage doctors from giving kids shots. UPCOMING: 1,250 words, photos, video by 8 a.m.

ELECTION-2024-KENNEDY -- A look at how Robert F. Kennedy Jr, is supporting Donald Trump's presidential campaign after abandoning his own White House candidacy. UPCOMING: 900 words, photos by 10 a.m.

ELECTION-2024-PENNSYLVANIA-SENATE -- Before he ran for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, David McCormick was a big name on Wall Street. He was the CEO of the world's largest hedge fund, a world-traveled executive who was sought after for speaking engagements and prominent board positions. His wealth and connections got him flagged by Republicans as someone who could both raise campaign cash and pay his own way for a Senate campaign. But McCormick's Wall Street days have not been such an unfettered asset of late. UPCOMING: 1,230 words, photos by 10 a.m.

ELECTION-2024-HARRIS-GAY-MARRIAGE -- Two decades ago, when a Democratic presidential nominee wouldn't dream of endorsing gay marriage, a newly elected district attorney named Kamala Harris was performing one of the first same-sex unions in the U.S. To LGBTQ leaders, it's a history that validates their deep support for the Democratic nominee. UPCOMING: 1,200 words, photos by 10 a.m.

ENT-EMMYS -- "Shogun" is expect to reign over dramas and "The Bear" could clean up in comedy at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards. Oscar winners Meryl Streep and Robert Downey Jr. are among the favorites in supporting acting categories and old Emmy favorites Jon Hamm and Jennifer Aniston could easily claim new ones at the ceremony hosted by the father-son duo of Eugene and Dan Levy at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. UPCOMING: 1,000 words, photos, video. Eds: Show starts at 8 p.m.

MONDAY

------------------

CIVICS-GOES-TO-COLLEGE -- Surveys show that a third of American adults can't name the three branches of the federal government. One found that 10% of college graduates think TV's "Judge Judy" serves on the U.S. Supreme Court. Many people think it's time for a new push for civics instruction in college. Advocates say civics -- the study of citizens' rights and responsibilities -- fosters a sense of unity and an ability to deal with disagreement. It empowers citizens, and maybe it can heal America's divisions. UPCOMING: 1,400 words, photos, video by 7 a.m. WITH: CIVICS-GOES-TO-COLLEGE-QUIZ. Eds: This is the Tuesday Spotlight.

ELECTION-2024-REPUBLICANS -- Donald Trump's debate stage elevation of a conspiracy theory that immigrants are eating pets is a signal that the Republican Party he now leads may be too online, at the expense of confusing or repelling the broad range of voters needed to win in November. UPCOMING: 1,000 words, photos by 12:30 a.m.

TITANIC-TOURIST-SUB -- Two weeks of hearings about the implosion of the Titan submersible begin. The Coast Guard is holding them as part of its investigation into why the sub imploded in summer 2023. UPCOMING: 600 words, photos, video by 12:30 a.m.

REL-MINNESOTA-LUTHERANS-POTLUCKS-AND-POLITICS -- Midwest Lutheranism has entered the national political limelight since Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz became Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate. But how Lutherans live their faith in the public sphere, especially on hot-button issues, can be as varied as marshmallow-topped hotdish and prickly pear cactus salad that are served at congregations across Minnesota. UPCOMING: 1,270 words, photos, video by 8 a.m.

BE-WELL-MENOPAUSE-DENTAL -- Menopause is well-known for causing hot flashes and night sweats for many women. But the list of menopause maladies can also include dental problems. Hormonal changes -- mainly a sharp drop in estrogen -- can reduce bone density and saliva production and harm your gums. And all of this can affect your teeth. Oral care experts say you can counteract these effects with good oral hygiene, nutrition, and hydration. UPCOMING: 630 words, photos by 10 a.m.
