President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the United States faces a "war from within" from crime and immigration, in a darkly authoritarian speech to a rare meeting of the top US military officers.

President Vladimir Putin on Monday signed a law to pull Russia out of a European anti-torture convention, Moscow's latest rejection of Western institutions and rights protections amid its offensive on Ukraine.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Monday downplayed his country's alleged violation of Ukrainian airspace with drones, saying "no-one" would attack the war-torn nation from Hungary's direction.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday called up 135,000 men for routine military service, the country's biggest autumn conscription drive since 2016.

Iran said Monday it hanged a man accused of spying for Israel, the latest as Tehran carries out its largest wave of executions in decades.

Iran identified the executed man as Bahman Choobiasl, whose case wasn't immediately known in Iranian media reports or to activists monitoring the death penalty in the Islamic Republic. However, the execution came after Iran vowed to confront its enemies after the United Nations reimposed sanctions on Tehran over its nuclear program this weekend.

An ex-Marine smashed a pickup into a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints church in Michigan, opened fire and set the building ablaze during a crowded Sunday service and then was fatally shot by police. At least four people were killed and eight wounded, and authorities were searching the building ruins for more victims.

The attack occurred about 10:25 a.m. while hundreds of people were in the building in Grand Blanc Township, outside Flint.

Iran on Sunday condemned as "unjustifiable" the reinstatement of United Nations sanctions over its nuclear program, after the collapse of talks with Western powers and Israeli and U.S. strikes on its nuclear sites.

Russia launched hundreds of drones and missiles at Ukraine overnight, wounding dozens across the country and killing at least four people, including a 12-year-old girl, in the capital alone, Kyiv said Sunday.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Saturday slammed as "unacceptable" what he described as U.S. demands that Tehran hand over its enriched uranium, as sweeping U.N. sanctions loomed after nuclear talks collapsed.

After a Ukrainian woman who fled war in her home country was stabbed to death on a commuter train in North Carolina, the alarming act of violence ignited bitter racial and political rhetoric about crime victims and perpetrators in America.

The fatal attack last month, in which the alleged perpetrator was identified as a Black man, evoked such visceral reactions partly because it was caught on surveillance video that went viral online. On Tuesday, North Carolina's Legislature passed a criminal justice package named after the victim to limit defendants' eligibility for bail and to encourage them to undergo mental health evaluations.
