    Donald Trump's big speech today on foreign policy and immigration involves an ideological test for those who want to enter the country.

  • Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, one of the more popular speakers at this year's Republican National Convention, blamed "progressive policies" for destructive behavior in response to a deadly police shooting over the weekend.
  • The death toll in the Louisiana flooding is up to six. Thousands have been forced from their homes.
  • On the other side of the country, August means California is on fire. More than 100 buildings have been destroyed in wildfires.
  • "Burqini" bans are spreading in France because protests have turned violent.
  • Doctors Without Borders says a hospital it helped operate in Yemen has been hit by Saudi-led coalition airstrikes, resulting in casualities.
