Israel says it takes pains to avoid civilian casualties as it targets Hamas militant sites. But its military has also bombed multi-story family homes in crowded residential neighborhoods. Palestinians say there is no real escape in Gaza, which has been under a suffocating 16-year blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt. When war breaks out, as it has four times since the Hamas militant group seized power in 2007, even U.N. facilities that are supposed to be safe zones risk becoming engulfed in the fighting.WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says President Joe Biden has been interviewed as part of the special counsel investigation into his handling of classified documents. Spokesperson Ian Sams says Biden was voluntarily interviewed at the White House on Sunday and Monday. The investigation is being led by special counsel Robert Hur, who's looking into the improper retention of classified documents from Biden's time as vice president. The documents were found in Biden's Delaware home and a private office he used after he left public office. Attorney General Merrick Garland earlier this year appointed Hur to oversee the politically sensitive matter to avoid conflicts of interest.Nation &amp; WorldNEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump’s longtime finance chief is set to testify as the former president’s civil trial enters its second week. Allen Weisselberg is also a defendant in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit. Weisselberg is expected to testify Tuesday about his role in preparing Trump’s annual financial statements, including conversations they had while finalizing the documents used to make deals and secure loans. James’ lawsuit alleges Weisselberg engineered Trump’s financial statements to meet his demands they reflect increases in his net worth and signed off on lofty valuations for assets. Trump attended the first three days of the non-jury trial last week but is not expected to return Tuesday.WASHINGTON (AP) — Two Federal Reserve officials have suggested that the central bank may leave interest rates unchanged at its next meeting in three weeks. That's because a surge in long-term interest rates has made borrowing more expensive and could help cool inflation without further action by the central bank. Since late July, the yield, or rate, on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note has jumped from around 4% to about 4.8%, a 16-year high. The run-up in the yield has inflated other borrowing costs and raised the national average 30-year mortgage rate to 7.5%, a 23-year high. Business borrowing costs have also risen as corporate bond yields have accelerated.Nation &amp; WorldJoby Aviation is working to develop electric-powered aircraft that will take off and land like a helicopter but fly like a small plane. Battery technology is helping Joby and other startups that are developing eVTOLs – short for electric vertical takeoff and landing. The company's biggest shareholder is Toyota, and it has a partnership with Delta Air Lines. Founder and CEO JoeBen Bevirt says the company is the realization of a longtime dream of his to make a better way for people to get from one place to another.The National League Division Series took center stage in Major League Baseball's playoffs, Monday Night Football saw the Raiders defense steal the show, and the NHL season begins today.&nbsp;Nation &amp; WorldListen now and subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Spotify | RSS Feed | Omny StudioThe NFL’s ongoing push for worldwide exposure got another boost when organizers for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics delivered a proposal to put flag football on the program when the Summer Games return to the United States for the first time in 32 years. The International Olympic Committee will vote on the proposal at meetings in India that begin later this week. Also on the LA proposal were baseball and softball, which have been bouncing on and off the program for decades; lacrosse; squash; and cricket. Flag football involves 5-on-5 action in which players tackle their opponents by stripping flags off belts worn by all players. It is viewed as a less-violent, faster-paced version of the game that has captured imaginations in the U.S. for decades.JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel increased airstrikes on the Gaza Strip and sealed it off from food, fuel, and other supplies in retaliation for a bloody incursion by Hamas militants, as the war’s death toll rose to nearly 1,600 on both sides. Hamas also escalated on Monday, pledging to kill captured Israelis if attacks targeted civilians without warnings. In the war’s third day, Israel was still finding bodies from Hamas’ stunning weekend attack into southern Israeli towns. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to destroy the militants’ “military and governing capabilities.”Nation &amp; WorldThe U.S. State Department said Monday that at least nine American citizens have been killed in the weekend Hamas attacks on Israel, raising the toll from four.BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union has reversed an earlier announcement that it was “immediately” suspending aid for Palestinian authorities and instead said it would urgently review such assistance in the wake of the attacks on Israel by Hamas. A terse European Commission statement said late Monday that “there will be no suspension of payments” at the moment. It came five hours after EU Commissioner Oliver Varhelyi had said that all payments from the development program for Palestinians be “immediately suspended. All projects put under review. All new budget proposals … postponed until further notice.” No immediate explanation for the reversal was given.STOCKHOLM (AP) — Claudia Goldin, a Harvard University professor, was awarded the Nobel economics prize for research that helps explain why women around the world are less likely than men to work and to earn less money when they do. Fittingly, the announcement marked a small step toward closing a gender gap among Nobel laureates in economics: Out of 93 economics winners, Goldin is just the third woman to be awarded the prize and the first woman to be the sole winner in any year. Her award follows Nobel honors this year in medicine, physics, chemistry, literature and peace that were announced last week.Nation &amp; WorldFORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — How much is Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago worth? That’s now a point of contention after a New York judge ruled that the former president exaggerated the Florida property’s value when he said it is worth at least $420 million. In siding with New York in the state’s lawsuit accusing Trump of grossly overvaluing his assets in business transactions, Judge Arthur Engoron found that Trump consistently exaggerated Mar-a-Lago’s worth. He compared Trump’s estimate to the Palm Beach County tax appraiser’s recent valuations of about $20 million. But Palm Beach real estate agents strongly disagree. They think Mar-a-Lago would easily fetch hundreds of millions and a bidding war could push the price over a billion.PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Robert F. Kennedy launched an independent run for the White House. Kennedy declared independence from the Democratic Party in Philadelphia on Monday. He spoke of a “rising tide of discontent” in the United States and said he wants to make a “new Declaration of Independence” from corporations, the media and the two major political parties.Nation &amp; WorldNEW YORK (AP) — Lexington Candy Shop has had a line outside for over a year since a TikTok of its Coke float went viral. The owner of Fatima's Grill parlayed his viral fame into an expansion. When a smaller restaurant unexpectedly goes viral on TikTok or other social media, the sudden demand can be overwhelming. Owners have to adapt on the fly, revamping operations to quickly serve a crush of people. But savvy business owners who are able to adapt can parlay newfound fame into a lasting boost for their business. Just ask Dominique Ansel, who created a craze with the Cronut a decade ago, before the term “going viral” was widely used.On this week's AP Religion Roundup, those who don't identify with a religion or religious groups are on the rise across the United States.The area around Maui largely destroyed by wildfires is welcoming back travelers, a seemingly never-ending influx of migrants during the last few weeks has put a strain on some U.S. states, and more of today's top videos.Nation &amp; WorldThe area around the Maui town largely destroyed by wildfire two months ago began welcoming back travelers on Sunday after the mayor and Hawaii…Nation &amp; WorldA seemingly never-ending influx of thousands of migrants during the last few weeks puts a strain on communities in US states on the border wit…Nation &amp; WorldMillions of Americans rely on Social Security payments to cover monthly expenses, but some recipients in recent months have been shocked to le…Nation &amp; WorldIn Albuquerque, the New Mexico sky was a colorful array of simple science and smiles as the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta opened on…Nation &amp; WorldGaza residents cleared debris Monday as they counted the cost of a night of unrelenting Israeli strikes on the enclave in retaliation for the …Nation &amp; WorldWith&nbsp;Hamas's attack&nbsp;on&nbsp;Israel&nbsp;plunging the region into renewed conflict, France 24 takes a look at life in the Gaza Strip, from where Hamas fi…BusinessThe U.S. economy has added more than 2.3 million jobs this year, but despite the healthy growth and availability of opportunities, many Americ…Nation &amp; WorldA new study finds that people who were hospitalized for COVID-19 are more likely to exhibit organ abnormalities afterwards.
