1. The US Republican Party is to open its convention and officially nominate former president Donald Trump as its candidate for the presidential election in November. The four-day Republican National Convention will start in Milwaukee in the Midwestern state of Wisconsin on Monday afternoon. The meeting opens two days after Trump was shot and wounded on his right ear during a speech at a rally in the eastern state of Pennsylvania on Saturday. 2. US President Joe Biden has called for unity in a televised address one day after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. “I want to speak to you tonight about the need for us to lower the temperature in our politics,” Biden said. “Do remember, though we may disagree, we are not enemies. We’re neighbors. We’re friends, co-workers, citizens. And most importantly, we are fellow Americans. We must stand together.” Biden also said he spoke with Trump and is grateful he was not seriously injured. 3. A statue of a girl who died of leukemia after exposure to radiation in the 1945 US atomic bombing of Hiroshima has disappeared from a park in the United states. Police are investigating the incident as theft. Local media outlets say the statue of Sasaki Sadako was found to be missing from Peace Park in Seattle on Friday with only the figure’s feet left in place. There is speculation that the statue was targeted due to the surging price of copper.
