The resumed talks early Sunday amid sharp differences over how much to demand of Athens, after nine hours' wrangling on Saturday failed to produce an agreement.

Mexico kingpin 'Chapo' Guzman stages brazen jailbreak in blow to president Posted: 12 Jul 2015 08:50 AM PDT By Gabriel Stargardter and Dave Graham MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's most notorious drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman broke out of a high security prison on Saturday night for the second time, escaping in a tunnel built right under his cell, and heaping embarrassment on President Enrique Pena Nieto. The kingpin snuck out of the prison through a subterranean tunnel more than 1.5 km (1 mile) long that ended in a building site in the local town, National Security Commissioner Monte Alejandro Rubido told a news conference on Sunday. Guzman, who had bribed his way out of prison during a previous escape in 2001, was seen on video entering his shower area at 8.52 p.m. on Saturday (0152 GMT Sunday), then disappeared, the National Security Commission (CNS) said.

U.S. military drills stoke politics of suspicion in Texas Posted: 12 Jul 2015 07:14 AM PDT To hear the conspiracy theorists tell it, a labyrinth of tunnels is being built under Walmart stores for military attacks on civilians, and an orchestrated financial crisis will lead to martial law, U.S. troops patrolling chaotic streets, and a dictatorship under President Barack Obama. While such views represent the fringes of American political opinion, they reflect a broader suspicion of the federal government that has run deep in Texas for years. The U.S. Army Special Operations Command exercise, called Jade Helm 15, has brought these fears to a crescendo, particularly in Bastrop.

APNewsBreak: Diplomats: Iran nuke deal expected Sunday Posted: 12 Jul 2015 05:55 AM PDT VIENNA (AP) — Diplomats say negotiators at the Iran nuclear talks are expected to reach a provisional agreement Sunday on a historic deal that would curb the country's atomic program in return for sanctions relief.

Pay and pride clash for Latino workers at Trump golf course Posted: 12 Jul 2015 05:22 AM PDT By Laila Kearney and Sebastien Melo NEW YORK, July 12 (Reuters) - From the nearest bus stop, workers navigate about a mile of overgrown and cracked sidewalk before they reach Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point Park in the Bronx, with its pristine fairways, treacherous bunkers and expansive views of the jagged Manhattan skyline. Like Andris Garcia, a 22-year-old security guard at the course, many are Latinos, immigrants or descendants of immigrants. "Just because they're Mexican, it doesn't mean that they came over here to sell drugs or kill people." Since announcing his bid for the Republican nomination last month, Trump has faced the fury of Latinos and the cancellation of major business deals after he accused Mexico of sending rapists and other criminals to the United States.

Angry at demands, Greeks rail at German 'humiliation' Posted: 12 Jul 2015 03:26 AM PDT Greeks accused Germany of trying to humiliate them by making tougher demands for a new bailout deal, as the country's fate in the euro zone hung in the balance ahead of a meeting of European ministers in Brussels on Sunday. Elected on a promise to rid Greece of austerity, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras was forced this week to make last minute concessions to the international creditors for painful austerity measures in the hopes of securing a cash-for-reforms deal. Lawmakers including in Germany, Greece's biggest creditor, are skeptical over whether Athens will carry out reforms that the Greek people overwhelmingly rejected in the referendum.

Greek talks with skeptical creditors to resume Sunday Posted: 11 Jul 2015 09:41 PM PDT BRUSSELS (AP) — Greece will have another, possibly its last, chance Sunday to convince skeptical European creditors it can be trusted to enact wide-ranging economic reforms that would safeguard its future in the euro.

The officers relieved of duty include two lieutenants and one sergeant, according to the sheriff's department. The action by Sheriff Jim McDonnell, who was elected to the position last year, follows several scandals at the department's jails that have drawn increased scrutiny of detention facilities that collectively rank as the nation's largest jail system, with about 20,000 inmates.

Trump criticizes border policy as well as trade agenda Posted: 11 Jul 2015 08:00 PM PDT PHOENIX (AP) — Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump criticized U.S. immigration and trade policies on Saturday in speeches that veered from accusing Mexico of deliberately sending criminals across the border to professing respect for the Mexican government and love for its people.

Rubio revisits childhood in Vegas, calls Putin a criminal Posted: 11 Jul 2015 05:19 PM PDT HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Republican Sen.

Massachusetts prosecutor to charge bomber Tsarnaev with murder: Boston Globe Posted: 11 Jul 2015 01:11 PM PDT (Reuters) - A Massachusetts district attorney plans to bring state murder charges against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who has been sentenced to death in a federal trial for launching a deadly bomb attack on the 2013 Boston Marathon, the Boston Globe reported on Saturday.
