A Pennsylvania man whose murder conviction was overturned after he served 43 years in prison hoped to walk free this month, but instead found himself in immigration custody. Subramanyam Vedam was an infant when his family moved to the U.S. so his father could teach at Penn State University. The Trump Administration plans to act on a 1999 deportation order despite his murder conviction being overturned because Vedam also has a drug conviction from the 1980s. His lawyers say the years he wrongly spent in prison should outweigh that. They have asked the Board of Immigration Appeals to reopen the case.

Paris police have acknowledged major gaps in the Louvre’s defenses on Wednesday — turning this month’s dazzling daylight theft into a national reckoning over how France protects its treasures. Testifying in the Senate, Paris Police Chief Patrice Faure has said aging systems and slow-moving fixes left weak seams in the world’s most-visited museum. “A technological step has not been taken,” he has told lawmakers, noting parts of the video network are still analog and slow to share images. The long-promised rebuild — an $93 million project requiring roughly 37 miles of new cabling — “will not be finished before 2029–2030,” he has said.

Higher prices, less help and a government shutdown hang over health insurance markets as shoppers start looking for coverage this week. The annual enrollment window for millions of people to pick an individual plan opens Saturday. The federal government shut down this month as Democrats in Congress demanded negotiations to extend enhanced tax credits that have helped people buy coverage the past few years. Republicans say they won’t negotiate until Democrats vote to reopen the government. Stuck in the middle are insurance shoppers, many of whom will be facing the biggest premium hikes they’ve seen in years.

The Federal Reserve is expected to cut its short-term rate Wednesday for the second time this year despite an increasingly cloudy view of the economy it is trying to influence. The data drought raises risks for the Fed because it is widely expected to keep cutting rates in an effort to shore up growth and hiring. Yet should job gains pick up soon, the Fed may not detect the change. And if hiring rebounds after weak job gains during the summer, further rate cuts may not be justified.

Compact luxury crossovers have become the chariot of choice for those seeking an effective blend of utility and style in an efficient package that won’t break the bank. The BMW X3 has been a longtime favorite in the segment, but it faces stiff competition from the likes of Mercedes-Benz and its GLC SUV. Edmunds’ experts compare the two upscale sport-utility vehicles to determine which is the better buy.

Voters in the Netherlands have cast their ballots in a snap election triggered by anti-Islam lawmaker Geert Wilders. He brought down the previous coalition over immigration issues. The election has focused on migration and housing shortages, reflecting broader European concerns. Wilders' Party for Freedom is expected to perform well, but mainstream parties are hesitant to partner with him again. The country remains divided, with recent violence at anti-immigration rallies. Polls suggest Wilders' party may win the most seats, but coalition negotiations are expected to start soon. The Dutch system ensures no single party can govern alone.

President Donald Trump has acknowledged that he cannot run for a third term, citing constitutional limits, despite his interest in staying in the White House. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump said, "I’m not allowed to run. It’s too bad." His comments came after House Speaker Mike Johnson stated it would be impossible for Trump to keep serving as president. Johnson explained that the 22nd Amendment prevents a third term and changing it would be a lengthy process. Despite this, Trump has repeatedly mentioned the idea of staying in power, even distributing "Trump 2028" hats as souvenirs.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a two-run homer off Shohei Ohtani, Shane Bieber pitched four-hit ball into the sixth inning, and the Toronto Blue Jays shook off their epic 18-inning loss to even the World Series with a 6-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 4. Ohtani redefined the concept of short rest by taking the mound just more than 17 hours after he reached base nine times in Game 3, but he gave up four runs and six hits while pitching into the seventh. The Blue Jays reclaimed homefield advantage and guaranteed the World Series trophy will be won at Rogers Centre in Toronto.

Detroit voters will choose a new mayor Tuesday in the city’s first open-seat mayoral race in a dozen years. City Council President Mary Sheffield and Triumph Church pastor Solomon Kinloch compete for the city’s top job after placing first and second in the Aug. 5 primary. The winner will replace outgoing three-term Mayor Mike Duggan, who is running for Michigan governor as an independent. The city faces a vastly different situation than it did when Duggan was first elected in 2013. In July of that year, it became the largest U.S. city ever to file for bankruptcy. The city now has a budget surplus, 12 years of balanced budgets and projected economic growth for the next five years. Homicides and violent crimes are down.

Elon Musk has launched Grokipedia, a crowdsourced online encyclopedia that the billionaire seeks to position as a rival to Wikipedia.  Musk announced on social media that “Grokipedia.com version 0.1 is now live” and promised further improvements. The site aims to present “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.” Grokipedia currently has a minimalist design with a search bar and claims to have over 885,000 articles. Unlike Wikipedia, which relies on volunteers, it's unclear how Grokipedia's content is created. Some reports suggest it uses AI technology.

A new lawsuit by Democratic state officials seeks to uncork emergency money to help tens of millions of Americans keep buying food for their families after federal SNAP funding is expected run dry Saturday due to the U.S. government shutdown. The lawsuit involves a $5 billion pot of federal money that President Donald Trump's administration says can't be used to fund SNAP benefits. Additionally, funding for a group of Head Start preschool programs is set to run out Saturday. Aid for mothers to care for their newborns through the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, known as WIC, could run out the following week.

After a charm offensive in Japan that culminated in $490 billion in investment commitments, President Donald Trump is set to meet with South Korea’s leader on Wednesday as a trade deal with that country appears more elusive. The main issue is Trump's demand for South Korea to invest $350 billion in the U.S. Korean officials prefer loans and guarantees instead of direct cash, fearing economic destabilization. This disagreement could overshadow the meeting between Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. Meanwhile, South Korea faces a 25% tariff on automobiles, putting them at a disadvantage compared to Japanese and European competitors.

About 2,500 Brazilian police and soldiers have launched a massive raid on a criminal gang in Rio de Janeiro and arrested 80 suspects while sparking shootouts that left at least 10 people dead. Authorities called it the biggest such raid in history and said it targeted drug trafficking ring Red Command in the low-income favelas of Complexo de Alemao and Penha. Police did not confirm any deaths, but local media reports said scores of people were believed killed. An Associated Press journalist saw at least 10 bodies arrive at the Getulio Vargas hospital in Penha, two of them police officers.

Days after eight pieces of the French crown jewels were stolen from the Louvre, a former bank robber who once toured the now-infamous Apollo Gallery for a Louvre podcast says he warned a museum official of weaknesses in security. David Desclos, a reformed career burglar, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he warned a Louvre representative years ago that the Apollo Gallery’s street-facing windows and nearby vitrines left treasures exposed to anyone bold enough to climb in. The robbery has led to increased scrutiny and questions about museum security.

A federal judge has blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from pulling sexual education funding over curricula mentioning diverse gender identities. U.S. District Court Judge Ann Aiken in Oregon issued the preliminary injunction on Monday. The order came in a lawsuit filed by 16 states and the District of Columbia against the Health and Human Services Department. The department wants to prohibit the inclusion of what it describes as “gender ideology” in lessons funded by two federal grant programs used to teach about abstinence and contraception. The lawsuit alleges that the new grant conditions violate the separation of powers and federal law.  The health department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
