Trump announces September and Dallas or Republicans will hold a first-ever party convention
during a midterm election year. More from NPR is a little more. Trump says the convention will be an opportunity to quote "selebrate our nation, our achievements and our bright future." Party conventions usually happen during presidential election years, not during the midterms,

Critics of polling in Russia have long argued that laws criminalizing criticism of the government or the war skewed the number of responses in favor of state policies.

The World Cup is now in the winner-go-home phase of the tournament, and some good teams
are already gone home. U.S. defender Chris Richard says his team won't underestimate their opponent. They're a good team, they're also deserve to be here. Most of the time, we know that how we've played so far through the tournament has been very successful.
So we're going to try to stick to that, and again, hopefully win again. Bosnia and Herzegovina came into the World Cup ranked number 64.
