1. President Trump

But that wasn't all. The President defended his controversial remarks about the deadly violence in Charlottesville without mentioning his infamous "many sides" lines. Trump's base loved every bit of it, but the whole thing left James Clapper, ex-director of national intelligence, openly questioning Trump's fitness for office

Finally there was action outside the rally, too, as thousands of protesters showed up and mixed it up with Trump supporters and the police. Rocks and bottles were thrown; tear gas was used; a few people got arrested.

3. Missouri execution

The planned execution of a Missouri inmate is on hold while new DNA evidence in the case is reviewed. Marcellus Williams was set to be executed for the stabbing death in 1998 of a former St. Louis newspaper reporter. But his attorneys say DNA evidence not available during his trial in 2001 proves his innocence. So, Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens issued a stay of execution and ordered a new panel to look at the case. The state attorney general's office says the DNA evidence "does not come close" to proving Williams' innocence.

4. Afghanistan

5. Eclipse eye injuries

So, you looked at the eclipse , and now you're worried you've ruined your eyesight ? You're not alone. Google searches for "my eyes hurt" and "eyes hurt eclipse" spiked pretty much right after the event. Lots of folks posted to social media about headaches, nausea and sensitivity to light -- all possible signs of a problem, ophthalmologists told CNN. Other symptoms to watch out for: blurred vision, "wavy" vision, difficulty discriminating colors and seeing "spots" or "holes" in your vision. If that's the case, get an eye exam, ophthalmologists say.
