Trump, Harris Battle Over Debate

Former President Trump suggested on Sunday that he may pull out of the scheduled September 10 debate on ABC with Vice President Kamala Harris after both campaigns disagreed about the format.

The Trump campaign had accepted the ABC debate under the same terms as the CNN debate when President Biden was the presumed Democratic nominee.

The Harris campaign has since proposed altering the rules, including requiring both candidates' microphones to be live throughout the debate.

The Trump campaign pushed back and demanded a debate on the agreed-upon rules.

Ice Collapse Kills U.S. Tourist in Iceland

An American man died, and his female companion was injured, when ice collapsed during a glacier tour in southern Iceland, police said.

The incident occurred Sunday afternoon at Breidamerkurjokull glacier, known for its blue ice caves, prompting a large-scale rescue operation involving over 200 responders. Here are photos and drone footage.

Authorities suspended the search overnight due to dangerous conditions before resuming Monday morning.

Officials reported that the victims were part of a 25-person tour group of various nationalities, with most tourists escaping unharmed when an ice wall collapsed in a ravine between cave mouths.
