Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed a special counsel in the Hunter Biden probe, deepening the investigation of the president’s son ahead of the 2024 election. Garland said Friday he was naming as the special counsel David Weiss, the U.S. attorney in Delaware. Weiss has been probing the financial and business dealings of President Joe Biden’s son. The move is a stunning development from the typically cautious Garland and comes during a pair of sweeping Justice Department probes into former President Donald Trump. The newly appointed special counsel says plea deal talks have broken down in the Hunter Biden tax and gun case. Hunter Biden’s attorney hasn't returned messages seeking comment.

Nearly two months after a dilapidated fishing trawler crammed with people heading from north Africa to Italy sank in the central Mediterranean, killing hundreds, relatives are still frantically searching for loved ones among the missing and dead. As many as 750 people are believed to have been on board. Only 104 survived and 82 bodies were recovered. By early August, around half the recovered bodies had been identified through a painstaking process combining DNA analysis, fingerprints and interviews with survivors and relatives. For some still searching for lost relatives, the lack of a body to bury means they still hold out hope, however improbable, that their loved one is alive.

The U.S. and its European allies are importing vast amounts of nuclear compounds and products from Russia, giving Moscow hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue as it wages war on Ukraine. Trade data and experts say Russia sold $1.7 billion in nuclear products to firms in the U.S. and Europe. The sales have raised alarms from nonproliferation experts and elected officials who say the imports help to bankroll the development of Moscow’s nuclear arsenal and complicate efforts to curtail Russia’s war-making abilities. The dependence on Russian uranium and other nuclear products leaves the U.S. and its allies open to energy shortages if Russian President Vladimir Putin were to cut supplies.
