Some 40,000 protesters are expected to gather outside the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago on Monday to demonstrate against the Biden administration’s position on Israel, with some groups saying they will push for amendments to the party’s platform.

The party is on guard for disruptions to high-profile speeches at the DNC, with one pro-Palestinian group called Delegates Against Genocide, angry at US support for Israel’s offensive in Gaza, saying it will press for an arms embargo this week.

Delegates Against Genocide said it would exercise its freedom of speech rights during main events at the four-day convention. Its organisers declined to give details, but said they would offer amendments to the party platform and use their rights as delegates to speak on the convention floor.

The group wants to include language backing enforcement of laws that ban giving military aid to individuals or security forces that commit gross violations of human rights.

Extreme heat at a Colorado airshow led to at least 10 people being hospitalized and about 100 needing medical treatment on Saturday afternoon, officials said.

People visiting the Pikes Peak Airshow in Colorado Springs faced intense heat and needed medical attention during the event, Ashley Franco, a spokesperson for the Colorado Springs Fire Department, told USA TODAY. The majority of the people were taken to the hospital because of heat-related illnesses, and a few were hospitalized because of other medical emergencies, such as seizures.

“The Colorado Springs Fire Department works and prepares very closely with the airport and event organizers when large events are held. Today, like every day, we had a plan in place in the event we needed to activate it,” said Colorado Springs Fire Chief Randy Royal in a statement. “All partners and resources at the airshow handled this incident swiftly and professionally. Their quick actions ensured people were taken care of and serious injuries were avoided."

Millions of Americans squeezing in a few days at the beach before schools open were warned Sunday that swells generated by the storm Ernesto, which strengthened into a hurricane again on Sunday, presented a severe danger to swimmers along much of the Atlantic coast.

The National Hurricane Center said "life-threatening surf and rip current conditions" are likely for the next few days and beachgoers should stay out of the water if advised by lifeguards. National Weather Service offices from Maine to Florida, warned of dangerous rip currents.

Ernesto, centered 520 miles south of Halifax, Canada, gained strength as its maximum sustained winds increased from 70 to 75 mph, just above the threshold for a Category 1 hurricane. The storm was headed north-northeast at 17 mph. Ernesto was forecast to pick up some speed and turn toward the east-northeast in the coming days.

Even with the storm hundreds of miles offshore, Hurricane Ernesto was still being felt Saturday along much of the U.S. Eastern Seaboard, with dangerous rip currents forcing public beaches to close during one of the final busy weekends of the summer season.

The storm’s high surf and swells also contributed to coastal damage, including the collapse of an unoccupied beach house into the water along North Carolina’s narrow barrier islands.

In the hours before Ukrainian soldiers stormed across Russia's western border, there was no sign from Moscow that anything was amiss.

Perdue Foods says it has recalled more than 167,000 pounds of frozen chicken products after discovering they may be contaminated with traces of metal.

In a statement released Friday, Perdue said it had voluntarily recalled 167,171 pounds of frozen breaded chicken breast tenders and nuggets after identifying a “foreign material” in its products following consumer complaints.

Shaw added that the recall was made “out of an abundance of caution,” and that there have been no reports of injury or illness associated with the contaminated products.
