The bodies of a man and his three young children who vanished last week after leaving for a fishing trip were found along with a submerged car in the pond where they were headed, authorities said Wednesday.

๐Ÿ’‰ US regulators OK new COVID-19 shot option from Novavax

The US is getting another COVID-19 vaccine choice as the Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday cleared Novavax shots for adults.
Novavax makes a more traditional type of shot than the three other COVID-19 vaccines available for use in the US -- and one thatโ€™s already available in Europe and multiple other countries.

The Maryland company also hopes its shots can become a top booster choice in the US and beyond. Tens of millions of Americans still need boosters that experts call critical for the best possible protection as the coronavirus continues to mutate. For now, the FDA authorized Novavaxโ€™s initial two-dose series for people 18 and older.

Much of the companyโ€™s vaccine, including doses for the US, are being produced by the Serum Institute of India, the worldโ€™s largest vaccine manufacturer.

Conservative leadership election: Mordaunt, Truss and Sunak emerge as frontrunners in first ballot

Jeremy Hunt and Nadhim Zahawi are knocked out in the first ballot of Tory MPs, with six candidates left in the race to succeed Boris Johnson. Mr Hunt, who came second in the 2019 leadership election, attracted just 18 votes while Mr Zahawi was eliminated with 25.

Mr Hunt said after he was eliminated: โ€œItโ€™s become obvious to me you only get one big shot at this, and I had mine in 2019.โ€ He warned that โ€œsmears and attacks may bring short-term tactical gain but always backfire long-termโ€, advising the remaining candidates to avoid โ€œdramaโ€. He says that is backing Rishi Sunak for two reasons - citing his 'formidable ability' when it comes to economic policy, and his 'decent, straight' character with 'the highest standards of integrity'

The winner will be announced on 5 September and will replace Mr Johnson as prime minister the next day.

๐Ÿ› Democrats in US Senate Introduce Bill Protecting Interstate Travel for Abortion

The legislation, dubbed Freedom to Travel for Health Care Act of, would also protect the ability of entities such as nonprofit organizations to assist individuals in traveling to US states where abortion is permitted, according to the bill text.

The bill was introduced by US Senator Catherine Cortez Masto and co-sponsored by Kirsten Gillibrand, Amy Klobuchar and Richard Blumenthal, among others.

US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said last week that the House of Representatives will work to pass similar legislation reaffirming the right to travel between US states for the purpose of receiving an abortion, as well as codifying federal protections for abortions after the US Supreme Court overturned its Roe v. Wade decision and allowed states to decide whether to administer or regulate the procedure.

๐Ÿ’ฝ CIA engineer is convicted in a massive theft of secrets released by WikiLeaks

A former CIA software engineer was convicted on Wednesday of federal charges accusing him of causing the biggest theft of classified information in CIA history. Joshua Schulte, who chose to defend himself at a New York City retrial, had told jurors in closing arguments that the CIA and FBI made him a scapegoat for an embarrassing public release of a trove of CIA secrets by WikiLeaks in 2017. Schulte watched without visibly reacting as US District Judge Jesse M. Furman announced the guilty verdict on nine counts, which was reached in mid-afternoon by a jury that has deliberated since Friday.

In a lawsuit filed on Tuesday, Twitter used Elon Musk's posts, one of which was a turd emoji, as evidence that he neglected the company in violation of the contractual obligations by which he was bound when he agreed to buy it for $44Bln.

The tweet was widely seen as mocking statements by chief executive Parag Agrawal while trying to explain the way Twitter detects its bot accounts - the main reason Musk's legal team gave for pulling out of the deal
