3 killed as German train derails, likely due to landslide triggered by heavy rains
Berlin — Three people were killed and at least 41 others injured Sunday evening when a regional express train derailed in southern Germany. Authorities believe a landslide caused by torrential rain was likely the cause of the accident. The train derailed in a forested area on a route between Sigmaringen and Ulm in southern Germany's Baden-Württemberg state. Around 100 passengers were on board when the train hit mud and debris that had spilled onto the tracks following a landslide. Two carriages derailed and toppled down an embankment next to the tracks. A preliminary investigation suggested a hole near the line had filled with water during intense rainfall, leading a slope adjacent to the track to collapse. Weather experts said the region was inundated with up to 10 gallons of rainfall per square yard in the space of just a few hours on Sunday. The victims of the derailment were identified as the train's 32-year-old driver, a 36-year-old railway trainee and a 70-year-old male passenger. Emergency services transported at least 41 people to nearby hospitals, some of them with serious injuries, according to emergency officials. Authorities were examining data from the train's onboard data recorder to determine the exact sequence of events. Officials said there was no indication of foul play. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz expressed his condolences to the victims' families and promised full support for rescue and recovery efforts. Deutsche Bahn, the national rail operator, also issued a statement expressing shock and pledged full cooperation with investigators.

Heat maps show half the U.S. under advisories, warnings
About half the country is under active heat advisories on Monday, affecting more than 198 million Americans, according to the National Weather Service. The extreme heat is expected in the Midwest, the Southeast and some parts of the Northeast. The heat alerts will remain in effect through Wednesday night in some places. Many areas have already been experiencing heat waves. Tampa, Florida, usually cooled down by a sea breeze, hit a record high of 100 degrees on Sunday, local media reported. Temperatures on Monday are forecast to be in the high 90s for multiple cities with feels-like temperatures over 100 degrees. Health-related illnesses can increase significantly during extreme heat. It's advised to drink plenty of water and stay in air-conditioned rooms, meteorologists said. Some northern Midwest states also face severe storm threats on Monday. A derecho, an intense line of fast-moving thunderstorms, is expected early in the evening over parts of eastern South Dakota, the NWS said. It's then expected to move into parts of southern Minnesota and northern Iowa. "Several wind gusts in excess of 75 mph, a few line-embedded tornadoes and instances of severe hail are also probable, according to the Storm Prediction Center," the NWS said.

California State Fair reports boost in attendance for 2025
California State Fair officials say they saw another increase in attendance for this year's edition of the summer tradition. Sunday was the final night of the 17-day run of the fair. Unseasonably cool weather appears to have helped boost the crowds for the final weekend, officials say, with more than 90,000 people coming out to the fair on Saturday alone. In total, officials say they had more than 700,000 guests for the 2025 run of the fair – an increase of around 8 percent from last year. "As we look ahead to 2026, we do so with momentum and gratitude," said Tom Martinez, CEO of California Exposition & State Fair, in a statement. The attendance boost continues the positive trend for the fair, which also saw a 10 percent increase in 2024 despite a long stretch of 100-plus degree heat that year.
