Europe's core interests are at stake. EU foreign policy chief Kayakalis has convened the extraordinary meeting of foreign ministers to discuss the summit between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The US has the power to force Russia to negotiate seriously on ending its war in Ukraine, Callis said in a statement. But she goes on, any deal between the US And Russia must have Ukraine and the EU included. For it's a matter of Ukraine's and the whole of Europe's security. Aggression cannot be rewarded, she added, saying international law is clear. All temporarily occupied territories belong to Ukraine. The situation in Gaza will also be discussed.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is defending a new military offensive that is sending more troops into Gaza. He said Israel has no choice but to complete the defeat of Hamas. Israel, meanwhile, is facing increasing international condemnation for the humanitarian situation in Gaza, where 11 adults have died from malnutrition this weekend. Several Midwestern states are under flood watches or warnings tonight as major storms continue to pound the region.

Kavaler Johnson
We're seeing reports from some parts of the city that have received more than a foot of rain, more than a foot of rain in a very short period of time. This flooding event, it's very significant. It's something that Milwaukee hasn't seen in and perhaps a decade or more.

The Wisconsin State Fair canceled its final day on Sunday because of flash flooding. Hundreds of employees of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta were on campus Friday when dozens of shots were fired at the building from a store across the street. The attack shattered windows and left the shooter and a local police officer dead. CDC employees now say they feel targeted by the violence. Sophie Gratis from Georgia Public Broadcasting has more on our story.

He, along with others in this administration, have sown distrust among the American people, dehumanizing CDCers and pointing to us as villains.

Ty says her child was also on lockdown during the shooting at a nearby daycare. In a statement emailed to CDC employees, RFK Jr. Called the shooting, quote, unsettling. Many CDC employees will start the week working from home with plans for an all staff meeting this week. It was hours after the 5pm active shooter alert went out that CDC employees were allowed to go home on Friday. For NPR News, I'm Sophie Gradas in Atlanta.

And you're listening to NPR News. In western Colorado, firefighters were up against another day of windy, hot weather on Sunday as they tried to protect homes and infrastructure throughout threatened by the lee fire. As NPR's Kirk Siegler reports, the fire has now grown to more than 100,000 acres.

Firefighters have struggled to get much of a containment line dug around the Lee Fire because of gusty winds and extremely dry fuels. The concern continues to be trying to stop it from burning east toward the small ranching and hunting town of Meeker, Colorado. When megafires like this ignite in overgrown forests made even drier by climate change, there aren't a lot of options for containing them until there's cooperation from the weather. There's little change expected in the short term forecast, so fire managers are focused mainly on protecting structures where it's safe to do so. Meanwhile, some good news is that resources are pouring into the region, thanks in part to it being a relatively quieter than expected summer wildfire season in the west so far.

A magnitude 6.1 earthquake hit Turkey's northwestern region on Sunday. At least one person has been killed and more than a dozen buildings have collapsed along with two mosque minarets. At least four people were rescued from the rubble. Shocks from the quake were felt as far away as Istanbul. Justin Verlander struck out the side in a first inning Sunday against the Washington Nationals to become just the 10th pitcher in Major League Baseball history to reach 3,500 career strikeouts. Then he fell apart, giving up four runs in the second inning as the Nationals beat the San Francisco Giants 8 to nothing. It's another career milestone, though, for the 42 year old Verlander.
