Live from NPR News. In Washington, I'm Dan Ronan. President Trump insists he has the authority to possibly deploy federal troops next to San Francisco under the Insurrection act because he says the city has deteriorated in recent years. Returning to Washington on Air Force One, Trump clarified his earlier remarks he made Sunday on Fox News.

President Donald Trump
We're trying to do it in a very nice way. I'm allowed, as you know, as president. Like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. They can use that and everybody agrees you're allowed to use that. And there's no more court cases, there's no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection act if we want.

Israel has carried out its fiercest wave of airstrikes since a ceasefire took effect almost a week ago. In its war in Gaza, at least 35 Palestinians were killed.

The wave of Israeli airstrikes began early Sunday after Israel's milit said it was attacked in southern Gaza by Hamas militants. The military later confirmed two Israeli soldiers were killed by Hamas. Gaza's health officials say among the dozens of Palestinians killed were two children. An Israeli official, speaking to the media on condition of anonymity, said Israel halted the movement of all trucks inside Gaza. But later a spokesman said the military will abide by the ceasefire. Israeli officials say they have also closed the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza indefinitely until Hamas returns bodies of deceased hostages at a reasonable pace. Hamas says it needs heavy equipment and international help to reach more bodies. Carrie Khan, NPR News, Tel Aviv.

China's Ministry of State Security says the attack on its National Time Service center started three years ago. US intelligence allegedly used 42 types of cyber weapons to spy on staff members, cell phones and computer networks, and steal private information from the agency. Besides setting the time, the center broadcasts information that's vital for China's communications, power, finance and even defense. China and the US have increasingly traded allegations of cyber attacks over the past few years. Each paints the other as one of its primary cyber foes. For N NPR News, I'm Ashish Valentine in Taipei.

Raila Odinga was buried today in his rural home in western Kenya in a ceremony attended by thousands, including the country's president, William Ruto, as well as dignitaries from various African nations. Sunday's burial event marked the last in a series of funeral ceremonies held for Odinga, some of which turned deadly on Thursday. A number of people were killed when security forces fired bullets and tear gas to disperse a huge crowd of mourners in the capital, Nairobi, with reports of more deaths the next day following a stampede also in the capital. Odinga, hailed by his supporters as a champion of democracy, served as an opposition leader on a number of occasions in a political career spanning several decades. He served as Kenya's prime minister from 2008 to 2013. For NPR News, I'm Michael Kaluki in Nairobi.
