The Gulf Coast is bracing tonight for a storm that could grow into a hurricane and reach land by late Tuesday.

Tropical Storm Gordon formed over the Florida Keys today and headed toward Mississippi and Louisiana. Rains and winds up to 50 miles an hour closed beaches in Miami today. There were also limited power outages.

A U.S. soldier was killed today in Eastern Afghanistan and another was wounded. An official said it appeared to be an insider attack involving Afghan security forces. In all, six U.S. troops have been killed in Afghanistan this year.

Thousands of people turned out in Chemnitz, Germany, today for a concert against far-right groups. Protesters, including neo-Nazis, have descended on the city since migrants allegedly stabbed a German man last Sunday. Some chased foreigners and gave the Hitler salute. Concert organizers said today they hope to send their own signal.
