President Trump heads to U.S. Women's Open after Paris trip

Some of the best golfers in the world are competing in New Jersey this weekend, and they could be partly upstaged by a guy whose best finish was to win an age-group club title. President Trump said Friday he will attend the U.S. Women’s Open, the major underway at his Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J. The U.S. Golf Association, which operates the tournament, has drawn criticism for not moving the event to a different venue after audio surfaced last year in which Trump made derogatory comments about women.

Venerable veterans eye Wimbledon history

This could be the weekend of the veteran at Wimbledon. Venus Williams became the oldest player to reach the Wimbledon final since Martina Navratilova, who was 37 years, 258 days old in the 1994 final. A victory against Garbine Muguruza on Saturday would make her the oldest woman to win a Grand Slam singles title, giving her six at Wimbledon. On Sunday, Roger Federer could become the oldest man (35 years, 342 days old) in the Open Era to win a Wimbledon trophy. That would be his record 19th Grand Slam title. He faces Marin Cilic, who is making his first Wimbledon final appearance.

Fire safety concerns arise after deadly Honolulu high-rise blaze

Investigators look for answers Saturday after a deadly fire at a Honolulu high-rise killed at least three and injured 12 others. Honolulu Fire Chief Manuel Neves said the 36-floor building — built in 1971 — was not equipped with sprinklers, adding that the blaze would have been "contained to the unit of origin" if they were available. The incident comes a month after a massive high-rise apartment fire killed 79 in London, prompting immediate calls for stricter building safety regulations around the city.

Turkey commemorates anniversary of coup

A year ago this weekend, many Turks rallied around the government for breaking up a failed coup by a rogue faction of the military that left 249 dead and hundreds more injured. On Saturday, the country will commemorate the victims in ceremonies across Turkey. Government officials this week have been visiting cemeteries of the victims they call “martyrs.” Opponents of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's will also remember the hundreds of thousands of academics, journalists, members of the judiciary and military who have been jailed, lost their jobs and live in fear of arrest.
