⚡️ US 'will not walk away' from Middle East: Biden to Arab leaders

📹 Not a day goes without Joe Biden shooting a gaffe.

This time, he praised the "selfishness" of US soldiers stationed in the Middle East during his speech at the summit in Saudi Arabia, before quickly correcting himself to "honor their selflessness".

Is it that hard to read a prewritten speech?

❗️Biden leaves Saudi Arabia, ending his first Middle East visit as US president.

Bilateral ties, defense, regional issues & energy: Here is a little recap of the key points from Joe Biden's visit to Saudi Arabia.

🇬🇧 ☀️ The UK government held an emergency meeting on Saturday ahead of record high temperatures next week.

An unprecedented “red warning” has been declared by weather authorities with an 80% chance that mercury will top the UK's record temperature of 38.7C (101.7F), and a 50% chance of temperatures reaching 40C somewhere in the UK.

"We call on Iran as a neighboring country to be part of the shared vision, adhering to the principle respecting the international law, non-interference into the domestic affairs of other countries with the need to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency," Mohammed bin Salman said at the summit of the Persian Gulf states and the US.

❌ US President Joe Biden could reportedly be at risk of impeachment if Democrats lose control of the House of Representatives and the Senate in November's midterm elections.

According to a Newsweek report, Texas Senator Ted Cruz said in January that there were "multiple grounds" to impeach Biden, while GOP Representative Ken Buck said in April that the House Judiciary Committee would "hold the hearings to determine whether impeachment is appropriate."

Calls to impeach Biden have emerged several times and have been voiced by many prominent conservatives, including Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor-Greene and Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

🙈🐻A mama bear and her baby cub entered a Monrovia, California, home earlier this month. A video of the startling incident captured them as they helped themselves to some treats in the kitchen.

The homeowner, Alice Taylor, said the mama bear removed the screen of an open window to get inside. The furry visitors went straight for the kitchen, where they discovered -- and ate -- all of the family's donuts on top of a counter.

The footage shows the elder bear standing on her hind legs to reach the countertop. Taylor said Monrovia residents are no stranger to bears, and they embrace them in their community.

After a drought emergency in Las Virgenes Water District in December, residents have been asked to conserve water. Earlier this year, those same residents in “Agoura Hills, Calabasas, and other nearby communities” were “asked to cut their outdoor water usage in half.”

"It's unconscionable right now when you're dealing with the drought in Southern California," Steve Creech, President of the Wyland Foundation, told CBS2 investigative reporter David Goldstein.

🔎💻On Friday, Elizabeth Warren and other Democratic members of Congress sent a letter to two federal regulators, urging them to take action on the explosion of Bitcoin mining in the US.

Sent to the heads of the Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy, the letter was driven by preliminary investigation from lawmakers, which found that just a handful of crypto miners use an enormous amount of energy. In response, the lawmakers ask the agencies to require that crypto-mining companies share data on their energy use and emissions.

Crypto-mining has exploded in the US over the past year, driven partly by China’s 2021 crackdown on the practice. The US is the biggest hub globally for mining Bitcoin, typically running data centers around the clock to mine the currency.
