"White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said Sunday that the US is 'not going to control' the coronavirus pandemic, as cases surge across the country and nearly 225,000 Americans have died from the virus."

"Armenia and Azerbaijan have accused each other of violating the latest ceasefire over the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh, minutes after it came into effect on Monday… The US-brokered ceasefire had been announced in Washington on Sunday… Two other ceasefires agreed earlier this month over the conflict were broken almost immediately."
"A man accused of abducting his two young daughters from a Kansas home where two boys were found dead was arrested on Sunday after a three-state search for the children, state officials said. The two girls were found safe and the father is being held in custody."
