Berlin — Spain won a record fourth European Championship title on Sunday after Mikel Oyarzabal's 87th-minute goal clinched a 2-1 victory over England, whose painful decades-long wait for a major trophy goes on. Oyarzabal slid in to poke home Marc Cucurella's cross, just when the game at Berlin's Olympiastadion seemed destined for extra time after the latest show of resilience by England at the tournament. Substitute Cole Palmer equalized for England in the 73rd minute to cancel out Nico Williams' opener in the 47th from 17-year-old prodigy Lamine Yamal's pass. Spain also won the title in 1964, 2008 and 2012. England men's team has now lost back-to-back Euro finals and is still without a major title since winning the 1966 World Cup. It is another agonizing loss for one of the world's most underperforming national teams, this one coming in front of Prince William and Spain's King Felipe at the venue built for the 1936 Olympics. After the final whistle, Williams put his hands to his face before he was embraced by his teammates. Dani Carvajal slumped to the field and was piled on by jubilant teammates. Yamal, Marc Cucurella and Dani Olmo were among the first to jump over the advertising hoardings to reach the Spanish fans in the stadium's east end.

White House — President Joe Biden on Sunday condemned political violence and called for national unity after an assassination attempt on his rival and presidential challenger, former President Donald Trump. Biden also urged Americans to not jump to conclusions as law enforcement investigates the Saturday shooting at a rally in the swing state of Pennsylvania.  “There is no place in America for this kind of violence – or any violence for that matter,” Biden said, flanked by his vice president and attorney general. “An assassination attempt is contrary to everything we stand for, as a nation, everything. It's not who we are as a nation, it's not American, and we cannot allow this to happen.  “Unity is the most elusive goal of all, but nothing is (more) important than that right now: unity. We’ll debate and will disagree – that's not going to change. But we're going to not lose sight of the fact of who we are as Americans,” the president said. He added that Trump is “doing well and recovering” and that he had taken steps to direct the Secret Service to provide Trump with “every resource, capability and protective measure necessary to ensure his continued safety.”  Biden said that he instructed the elite law enforcement agency to review all security measures – “all security measures,” he repeated for emphasis – as Republicans, including Trump, prepare to arrive Monday in Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention. There, Trump is expected to be officially named as the party’s presidential nominee. President Biden added that although the shooter has been identified, Americans should not rush to form conclusions until the investigation is complete. “I urge everyone – everyone – please don't make assumptions about his motive or his affiliations,” Biden said.  And finally, he said he would address the nation late Sunday from the Oval Office – widely seen as the most sober and consequential venue for presidential addresses.  Biden had abruptly returned to Washington early Sunday to receive briefings on the event and its aftermath. He and Vice President Kamala Harris spent much of the morning in the White House Situation Room with homeland security and law enforcement officials, according to a White House photo. Also Sunday, the White House announced that Biden would not travel Monday to Texas, as planned, for a campaign event. The campaign had said Saturday that they were working to temporarily suspend campaign messaging and take down ads.  The Federal Bureau of Investigation is leading the investigation into what they are describing as an assassination attempt. Trump was wounded in the ear Saturday evening at a rally in Pennsylvania after a gunman aimed at him. His campaign said he was “fine” and he appeared later that evening, walking off his plane in New Jersey.  An attendee at the rally was killed, as was the gunman, and two other attendees were wounded, law enforcement said.  On Sunday, former first lady Melania Trump issued a plea for Americans to “ascend above the hate, the vitriol, and the simple-minded ideas that ignite violence.” Also Sunday, Devin Nunes, a Republican former congressman who is the CEO of Trump Media & Technology Group Corp., called for a thorough investigation. “The situation demands a fast, thorough federal investigation to determine all the circumstances of this cowardly attack and to identify if any additional persons were involved. I also call for the federal government to provide any security resources requested by President Trump to guarantee his safety. America will overcome this despicable shooting and together, our nation will endure.”

Washington — As federal investigators try to piece together a motive for 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, the man identified as the would-be assassin of former President Donald Trump, at least one former classmate is speaking out.  Jason Kohler told reporters he attended high school with Crooks in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, describing him as a loner and an outcast.  “He was, like a kid that was always alone. He was always bullied,” Kohler told reporters Sunday. “He was bullied so much.”  Crooks graduated from Bethel Park High School in 2022, according to a statement from the school district to a local media outlet. Local media reports show he was given a $500 award for math and science. Kohler said he never had much interaction with Crooks, who would sit alone during lunch and often be targeted by other kids for the way he often wore hunting outfits or how he continued to wear a mask after COVID mask mandates ended.  “You could look at him and you would be like, 'Something's a little off,’” Kohler added.  The description is just part of the picture that is starting to emerge of Crooks, who was shot and killed by U.S. Secret Service agents after climbing to the roof of a building and firing five to six shots at Trump during a campaign rally Saturday in nearby Butler, Pennsylvania.  Law enforcement officials said Sunday they found bomb-making materials in Crooks’s car and home, and that the AR-style rifle he used in the shooting had been purchased by his father.  The Wall Street Journal first reported on the discovery of the explosives.  Crooks’s father, Matthew Crooks, told CNN late Sunday he was trying to find out “what the hell is going on” but would “wait until I talk to law enforcement” before saying anything more.  Public records show Crooks had no prior convictions and was a registered Republican, like Trump. But other records indicate he made a $15 political donation in 2021 to a left-leaning group that supports Democratic candidates, on the day President Joe Biden was sworn into office.   Discord, a social media platform popular with gamers, said Sunday it had discovered an account “that appears to be linked to” Crooks.  “It was rarely utilized, has not been used in months,” a Discord spokesperson confirmed in a statement to VOA. “We have found no evidence that it was used to plan this incident, promote violence, or discuss his political views.”  “Discord strongly condemns violence of any kind, including political violence, and we will continue to coordinate closely with law enforcement,” the spokesperson added. Meanwhile, the Pentagon Sunday said it determined Crooks had no connection to the U.S. military. “We've confirmed with each of the military service branches that there is no military service affiliation for the suspect with that name or date of birth in any branch, active or reserve component in their respective databases," according to a statement from the Pentagon press secretary, Major General Pat Ryder. Some information for this article came from The Associated Press and Reuters. 

The FBI has named a suspect in what it called an attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s campaign says Trump is “fine” after the shooting. An investigation into the incident is underway. VOA’s Arash Arabasadi has more.

Washington — More than 24 hours after a lone gunman tried to assassinate former U.S. President Donald Trump, the shooter’s motivations remain a mystery. FBI agents have descended on Butler, a small city in a rural part of western Pennsylvania trying to piece together why 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks climbed to the top of a roof overlooking a Trump campaign rally and fired multiple shots, injuring the former president, while killing one spectator and critically injuring two more. Officials said late Sunday they are treating Saturday’s shooting both as an attempted assassination and as a domestic terrorism incident, adding that while investigators have been able to gain “limited insights” into Crooks’ recent communications, the calls and texts have yet to shed light on why he chose to act. “Our number one goal here is to identify the motive of the subject and determine whether he had any other associates or anyone else that was involved at this point,” FBI Special Agent-in-Charge Kevin Rojek told reporters during a phone briefing Sunday. “It appears that he was a lone actor,” Rojek said. “We have not identified an ideology associated with the subject, but I want to remind everyone that we're still very early in this investigation.” Looking for insight into the shooter Secret Service agents killed Crooks at the scene, but law enforcement officials are hoping they may be able to get additional insights soon. Along with an AR-style rifle recovered alongside Crooks’ body, they recovered a mobile phone during a search of Crooks’ vehicle. The phone has been sent to the FBI lab in Quantico, Virginia, for analysis. Officials are optimistic they will be able to access the contents, perhaps revealing more about Crooks’ mindset. “We are working hard to determine the sequence of events related to the subject and his movements and the hours, days and weeks prior to the shooting,” Rojek said. The phone’s contents might help shed light on what officials described as a rudimentary explosive device, found in Crooks’ car, and additional explosive material found at his home. The FBI said Crooks’ family has been cooperating, including the father, who legally purchased the gun used in the attempted assassination. “We do not know specifically how he accessed the weapon and whether he took it without his father's knowledge,” Rojek told reporters, adding the FBI is trying to understand the shooter’s “affinity for weapons and how much, if any, times he went to the range.” Officials said they scoured Crooks’ social media account, which so far has shown no indications of threatening language. Crooks had not previously been brought to the FBI’s attention and there are no indications he suffered from any mental health issues. Ongoing probe U.S. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were briefed on the investigation earlier Sunday. "There is no place in America for this kind of violence," Biden said, briefly addressing reporters at the White House Sunday afternoon, adding the attempted assassination “is contrary to everything we stand for as a nation.” "I've instructed that this investigation be thorough and swift, and that the investigators will have every resource they need to get this done," Biden added. FBI Director Christopher Wray, speaking separately, called the Trump assassination attempt “absolutely despicable.” “The men and women of the FBI are working tirelessly to get to the bottom of what happened,” Wray told reporters. “We will leave no stone unturned.” In addition to the ongoing examination of the site of the shooting, the FBI has been encouraging anyone who has information or may have been at the rally and took photos or video to contact them. Officials said they have received more than 2,000 tips, which are all being analyzed. Threat landscape The FBI warned Sunday that while the shooter acted alone, the threat landscape has become more perilous than before. “Although the rhetoric regarding threats of violence has already increased online, we're seeing that tick up in the aftermath of this event,” said FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate, who warned some individuals have gone on social media, fanning tensions by pretending to be the shooter. Abbate said the FBI is watching for additional streams or chatter which could indicate threats to the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee this week or the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next month. “We're also focused on the continuing efforts, which were already substantial given that their national special security events, on the upcoming conventions in Chicago and Milwaukee to work with Secret Service in the lead to play our part in protecting the people and the facilities and the events there, as well,” he said. Watch related report by Arash Arabasadi: Apparent security lapses Meanwhile, President Biden has ordered a separate investigation into the apparent security lapses that allowed a would-be assassin to get within shooting range of a former president. According to witness accounts and videos posted online, the shooter was seen holding a rifle and crawling up the roof of a nearby building moments before the shots rang out. Several bystanders could be heard yelling to get the attention of nearby police. Some officials also expressed concern that the shooter fired five to six times before being stopped.   Key lawmakers Sunday labeled the attempted assassination as a security failure and said they are seeking answers. “How is it that someone could get on a roof with a superior position, with a weapon, and attempt to assassinate former President Donald Trump? It's just unthinkable, unfathomable” said Representative Mike Turner, the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. “We need to know, is this a protocol failure? Is this a resources issue? Or is this just a failure of those who were on site that day?” Turner told CNN, adding his committee had yet to be briefed on the developments. Turner also raised concerns about the threat landscape going forwar“I am with Director Wray of the FBI, where he said we're at the highest level, threat level, that we have had since 9/11,” said Turner. “I believe that the threat is continuing. It's not just this one individual's assassin's attempt.” The House Homeland Security Committee chairman, Republican Representative Mark Green, spoke late Sunday with U.S. Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle, a committee source told VOA. The source said Cheatle “committed to providing requested documents to the Committee promptly,” and plans to brief the entire committee Monday. Green "continues to seek answers to the many questions the American people deserve to know," the spokesperson said. Green also sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security, asking for documents related to the security plan and screening procedures for the rally and what sort of additional protective measures had been asked for, or given to, the Trump campaign.

Mosul, Iraq — Iraqi authorities have removed the remains of 139 people from a large pit believed to contain victims of the Islamic State group (IS), an official said Sunday.   The Alo Antar hole — a natural desert feature allegedly turned into a mass grave by IS jihadis — is in Tal Afar, some 70 kilometers (40 miles) west of Mosul in northern Iraq.  It is not known how many bodies were dumped in the pit, but search efforts for other victims are ongoing.  "We have removed the remains of 139 persons and also human body parts," said Dia Karim, director of the mass graves department at the Foundation of Martyrs — a government institution tasked with finding mass graves and identifying remains.  "They include women and men," Karim said, adding that "according to testimonies, the victims date back to IS rule" or before when al Qaeda was present in the area.  Testimonies also suggest, according to Karim, that "the victims are Yazidis, Shiite Turkmen and security forces personnel from Mosul," the de facto capital of IS's self-declared "caliphate."   At its peak, the group ruled over swathes of Syria and Iraq, while its fighters committed beheadings, torture and enslavement, turning life into a living hell and leaving behind many mass graves.  In northern Iraq, they committed some of their worst atrocities against the Yazidis — an ethnic and religious minority — including mass executions and sexual slavery.  Ahmed al-Assadi from the Foundation of Martyrs said the victims "were not buried but dumped in the hole," whose full depth ranges between 42 and 12 meters (138 to 39 feet).  "Some of the victims had been shot and others were found with their throats cut," and several bodies were found in body bags.  Assadi added that some of the clothing found on them indicated that they might have been Yazidis or Turkmen, adding that other bodies were found in orange jumpsuits of the kind typically worn by IS hostages.   The bodies recovered from Alo Antar were taken to forensic departments to be identified using DNA testing.  The mass grave was discovered after Iraqi forces retook control of the area in 2017, but the work to recover the bodies only started in May of this year.  Iraqi authorities frequently announce the discovery of mass graves of IS victims, as well as those containing IS jihadis themselves and others dating to the rule of dictator Saddam Hussein, but the identification process is slow, costly and complicated.  The United Nations estimates the jihadis left behind more than 200 mass graves which might contain as many as 12,000 bodies.  A similar but much larger sinkhole known as al-Khasfa in northern Iraq is also thought to contain the bodies of many IS victims.  In northern Syria, a 50-meter-deep gorge has been used as a dumping site for dead bodies during and after IS rule, according to a 2020 Human Rights Watch report.

BEIJING — China and Russia's naval forces kicked off a joint exercise Sunday at a military port in southern China, official news agency Xinhua reported, days after NATO allies called Beijing a “decisive enabler” of the war in Ukraine. The Chinese defense ministry said in a statement that forces from both sides recently patrolled the western and northern Pacific Ocean and that the operation had nothing to do with international and regional situations and didn’t target any third party. The exercise, which began in Guangdong province Sunday and is expected to last until mid-July, aimed to demonstrate the capabilities of the navies in addressing security threats and preserving peace and stability globally and regionally, state broadcaster CCTV reported Saturday, adding it would include anti-missile exercises, sea strikes and air defense. Xinhua News Agency reported the Chinese and Russian naval forces carried out on-map military simulation and tactical coordination exercises after the opening ceremony in the city of Zhanjiang. The joint drills came on the heels of China’s latest tensions with NATO allies last week. The sternly worded final communiqué, approved by the 32 NATO members at their summit in Washington, made clear that China is becoming a focus of the military alliance, calling Beijing a “decisive enabler” of Russia’s war against Ukraine. The European and North American members and their partners in the Indo-Pacific increasingly see shared security concerns coming from Russia and its Asian supporters, especially China. In response, China accused NATO of seeking security at the expense of others and told the alliance not to bring the same “chaos” to Asia. Its foreign ministry maintained that China has a fair and objective stance on the war in Ukraine. Last week, a U.S. Coast Guard cutter on routine patrol in the Bering Sea also came across several Chinese military ships in international waters but within the U.S. exclusive economic zone, American officials said. Its crew detected three vessels approximately 124 miles (200 kilometers) north of the Amchitka Pass in the Aleutian Islands, which mark a separation and linkage between the North Pacific and the Bering Sea. Later, a fourth ship was spotted approximately 84 miles (135 kilometers) north of the Amukta Pass. The U.S. side said the Chinese naval vessels operated within international rules and norms.

London — Carlos Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (4) in the Wimbledon men's final Sunday to collect his fourth Grand Slam title at age 21.    It was a rematch of last year's championship match on the grass of the All England Club, which Alcaraz won in five sets.    This one — played in front of a Centre Court crowd that included Kate, the Princess of Wales, in a rare public appearance since announcing she has cancer — was much easier for Alcaraz, at least until he stumbled while holding three match points as he served for the victory at 5-4 in the third set.    Still, Alcaraz regrouped and eventually picked up a second major trophy in a row after last month's triumph on the clay at the French Open.      The Spaniard won his first Slam title at the 2022 U.S. Open as a teenager, and no man ever has collected more Slam hardware before turning 22 than he has.    He improved to 4-0 in major finals.    The 37-year-old Djokovic, wearing a gray sleeve on his surgically repaired right knee, was denied in his bid for an eighth Wimbledon title and record 25th major overall. He tore his meniscus at Roland Garros on June 3 and had an operation in Paris two days later.    Less than six weeks later, Djokovic was hardly at his best on Sunday — and Alcaraz certainly had something to do with that. 

Kigali — Rwandan President Paul Kagame wrapped up his reelection campaign Saturday, two days before voting takes place on Monday. The incumbent faces two opponents who say he has overstayed. Kagame tells reporters that his supporters want him to run for another term. At a news conference following his last campaign rally, Rwandan President Paul Kagame told reporters that his priorities for the country he’s been leading since 2000 will not change. “Priority No. 1 after we’ve gone through all of this is to continue to make as much progress as we can in the area of security and stability for our country, socio-economic development progress … we are building our country, growing it toward prosperity,” he said. This will be his fourth term if he wins reelection next week. Kagame faces two other candidates including the Democratic Green Party’s Frank Habineza, who ran against him in 2017 and says the president has stayed around for way too long. Habineza told VOA he’s successfully campaigned in most of the 30 districts across the country recently, and voters have been more enthusiastic this time around. “I am giving them hope that after 30 years, we really need to see a different way of living, different political programs, different thinking, and a different vision. We are not going to destroy the good things that have been done before, but we want to give them better hope and a better future,” he said. Kagame joked at the news conference that he never wanted to be president, saying that it was his party that insisted he get into the race in 2000. Decades later, his supporters tell him they want him to run for another term. “Every day I am being asked when are you leaving, when are you going? These people who made me president are telling me they still want me to be president. Somebody else somewhere says no you are here too long. I really get confused. I think this is not fair,” he said. The 66-year-old leader is expected to cruise to an easy victory. One reason, according to critics, is that he has stifled dissent. But another, analysts say, is the way he’s been able to guide the East African country toward internal peace since the 1994 genocide, when an estimated 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed by Hutu extremists. Eric Ndushabandi is a political science and international relations professor at the University of Rwanda, and an associate researcher at the Louvain University in Brussels. He said Kagame’s support has been there because of his efforts to address Rwandans’ need for stability after the genocide. “The language, practice and success around stabilization and security, mainly in internal politics, is joining the expectations and aspirations of many Rwandans after this tragic and historical background,” he said. Ndushabandi also said there is a big gap between the presidential candidates in terms of popularity, ideology, means, and capacity. Other candidates were barred from the race by the National Electoral Commission for various reasons. One was a fierce Kagame critic, Diane Rwigara, who the commission said did not provide a criminal record statement and did not collect the minimum number of supporters’ signatures.

Los Angeles — Shannen Doherty, the "Beverly Hills, 90210" star whose life and career were roiled by illness and tabloid stories, has died at 53. Doherty died Saturday, according to a statement from her publicist, Leslie Sloane. She had had breast cancer for years. "The devoted daughter, sister, aunt and friend was surrounded by her loved ones as well as her dog, Bowie. The family asks for their privacy at this time so they can grieve in peace," Sloane said in a statement. The news was first reported by People magazine. Her illness was publicly revealed in a lawsuit filed in 2015 against her former business managers, in which she alleged they mismanaged her money and allowed her health insurance to lapse. She later shared intimate details of her treatment following a single mastectomy. In December 2016, she posted a photo of her first day of radiation, calling the treatment "frightening" for her. In February 2020, Doherty revealed that the cancer had returned and she was at stage four. She said she came forward because her health conditions could come out in court. The actor had sued insurance giant State Farm after her California home was damaged in a fire in 2018.  A native of Memphis, Tennessee, Doherty moved to Los Angeles with her family at age 7 and, within a few years, became an actor. "It was completely my decision," she told The Associated Press in a 1994 interview. "My parents never pushed me into anything. They support me. It really wouldn't matter if I was a professional soccer player — they'd still be as supportive and loving." As a child star, she worked steadily in such TV series as "Little House on the Prairie," in which she played Jenny Wilder. She detoured as a teenager to the big screen in "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" (1985) and "Heathers." In 1990, the doe-eyed, dark-haired actor won her breakout role as Brenda Walsh in producer Aaron Spelling's hit teenage melodrama set in posh Beverly Hills. She and Jason Priestley's Brandon, Brenda's twin brother, were fish-out-of-water Midwesterners. But Doherty's fame came with media scrutiny and accounts of outbursts, drinking and impulsiveness — the latter most notably after a very brief marriage to George Hamilton's son. Doherty's second marriage, in 2002, was to Rick Salomon, who was involved in a sex-tape incident with Paris Hilton. The marriage was annulled within a year. In 2011, Doherty married photographer Kurt Iswarienko. She filed for divorce in April 2023. She left "90210" at the end of its fourth season in 1994 (the show aired until 2000), reportedly removed by Spelling because of conflicts with her co-stars and chronic lateness. But in her 1994 AP interview, Doherty described her life as peaceful.  "It must be, if you pick up the Enquirer and find the only thing they can write about me is that I installed a pay phone next to my house and was seen at Stroud's (a discount bed-and-bath chain) buying $1,400 worth of bed linens and wouldn't go to an expensive store," she said. "It must be calm if they're pulling that stuff out of their heads."  Three years later, in 1997, Doherty was sentenced to anger-management counseling by a Beverly Hills Municipal Court judge after she allegedly smashed a beer bottle onto a man's windshield during a quarrel. In another legal scrape, she pleaded no contest after a 2001 drunken driving arrest and was ordered to serve five days in a work-release program. Doherty reunited with Spelling when he cast her in 1998 as Prue Halliwell in "Charmed." In an AP interview that year, the actor expressed regrets about her past. "I did bring a lot of it on myself," Doherty said. "I don't think I can point fingers and say, 'Oh, YOU'RE to blame.' And I don't do that with myself, either. Because I was just growing up." Her personality was "grotesquely misconstrued" by the media, Doherty added. Spelling said at the time that their relationship was never as bad as some made it seem. "We had a few bumps along the road, but golly, who doesn't?" said Spelling, who died in 2006. "Everything Shannen did was blown out of proportion by the rag sheets." Doherty co-starred with Holly Marie Combs and Alyssa Milano in "Charmed" from 1998-2001, at which point her character was replaced by one played by Rose McGowan. Doherty appeared in the "90210" sequel series seven years later, along with original series star Jennie Garth, and competed on "Dancing with the Stars" in 2010. She also worked on the third "Beverly Hills, 90210" reboot, called "BH90210," a meta send-up of the show that aired for one season in 2019. She also appeared in a tribute episode of "Riverdale" dedicated to that show's star — and her late "Beverly Hills, 90210" on-screen love interest — Luke Perry. Doherty struggled to recapture her "Beverly Hills, 90210" star status, but worked in big-screen films including "Mallrats" and "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" and in such TV movies as "A Burning Passion: The Margaret Mitchell Story," in which she played the "Gone with the Wind" author. A nadir was "Blindfold: Acts of Obsession," an erotic thriller opposite Judd Nelson. Doherty's lawsuit against her ex-business managers was settled in 2016. She was open about the toll that cancer was taking on her. She posted photos that showed the baldness that followed treatment and, in an August 2016 interview with "Entertainment Tonight," shared her fears. "The unknown is always the scariest part," she said. "Is the chemo going to work? Is the radiation going to work?" she said. "Pain is manageable, you know living without a breast is manageable, it's the worry of your future and how your future is going to affect the people that you love."
