Other than the cancellation of the Trump/Kim summit, here are some things going on:
From The Washington Post, President Trump pardons boxer Jack Johnson. (From what I understand, Johnson was prosecuted under the Mann Act, but his actions occurred before the Mann Act was passed.)
From CNN, actor Morgan Freeman is accused of sexual harassment.
From ABC News, Harvey Weinstein will turn himself in.
From LifeNews, the Maryland legislature rejects a bill to ban dismemberment abortions.
From Voice Of Europe, a girl in Staffanstorp, Sweden tells about how the town's gangs mistreat people.
From the Express, the Eurozone rejects new members.
From the Daily Sabah, the E.U. plans to spend €1.5 million to help refugees in Turkey.
From Anadolu Agency, Turkey condemns the decision of a Greek court to give asylum to a soldier accused of involvement in the 2016 coup. (The article calls the soldier a "putschist", which comes from the German word putsch.)
From The Local IT, two people are killed when a train hits a truck in Northern Italy.
From Breitbart London, the Huffington Post has a "freak-out" over the new Italian government.
From the NL Times, the amount of illegal cannabis in the Netherlands seems to have been greatly underestimated.
From StepFeed, people react to a Muslim speaker's "misogynistic interpretation of women".
From The New Arab, in Pakistan, a mob demolishes a historic Ahmadi mosque.
From Iraqi News, Iraq will prosecute people for publicly violating the Ramadan fast.
From Gatestone Institute, is UNRWA maintaining a "Palestinian Refugee" fraud?
From American Thinker, how sharia and the West are incompatible. (The title refers to "Islam", but it's really Islamic law, known as "sharia", that the writer is concerned with.)
From FrontpageMag, has Canada been hit by a "beach jihad"?
From ABC10, a crematorium sends ashes skyward. (via the New York Post)
From the New York Post, scientists try to explain why our brains are so big. (Explaining our big egos, on the other hand, is probably beyond science.)
From Page Six, Harvey Weinstein's estranged wife's chauffeur is arrested for allegedly damaging a camera.
And from Quartz, NASA is making a very cold laboratory in space to study quantum mechanics.
