MATAGORDA, Texas (AP) — The National Weather Service says Beryl has made landfall on the middle Texas coast near Matagorda with a dangerous storm surge and strong winds.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Deeply torn over President Joe Biden’s candidacy, Democratic lawmakers are returning to Washington at a pivotal moment. They are deciding whether to work to revive Biden's campaign or edge out the party leader after his dismal performance in the debate.
The Justice Department says Boeing has agreed to plead guilty to a criminal fraud charge stemming from two deadly crashes of 737 Max jetliners. Now it’s up to a federal judge whether to accept the plea and a sentence that is part of the aerospace giant’s deal with U.S. prosecutors.
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Officials in Ukraine say a major Russian missile attack has killed at least 28 people and injured almost 100 across the country. One missile struck a large children’s hospital in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, and emergency crews searched the rubble for casualties.
PARIS (AP) — Election results show French voters have chosen to give a broad leftist coalition the most parliamentary seats in pivotal legislative elections. That keeps the far right away from power. Yet no party has won an outright majority, putting France in an uncertain, unprecedented situation. President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist alliance arrived in second position and the far right in third.
