U.S. and Iran Say They’ll Stand Down After Hormuz Clashes

LIMA - Peru’s election authority finished counting 100 percent of the vote Monday and declared Keiko Fujimori the winner of the presidential runoff, by 50.135 percent to Roberto Sanchez’s 49.865 percent.

The margin was fewer than 50,000 votes in an election dominated by crime and political fatigue. Sanchez says he will not recognize the result. Fujimori, who is set to take office on July 28, says Peru is moving toward “order and hope.”

BEIRUT - Israel resumed air strikes in southern Lebanon on Sunday, just days after signing a U.S.-brokered framework meant to end the war. Lebanon’s state news agency reported attacks in the south, while Israel said it was targeting Hezbollah fighters near the buffer zone its troops still occupy. The deal has already drawn protests in Beirut and rejection from Hezbollah. Some peace deal.

JOHANNESBURG - South African police said they are on high alert for planned anti-migrant protests on Tuesday and will not tolerate intimidation or violence. President Cyril Ramaphosa also warned demonstrators not to use threats or ultimatums as an unofficial June 30 deadline for undocumented foreigners to leave approaches.

Thousands of migrants have already fled in recent weeks, and some communities are reporting fear, division and fresh attacks. The state says it is ready. So are the protesters.

MINSK - Alexander Lukashenko is resisting pressure to pull Belarus deeper into Vladimir Putin's war against Ukraine. The Belarusian leader spent two days talking with Putin over the weekend, then publicly warned Russian officials not to drag his country into the conflict. He has said Belarus will stay out unless attacked, which is about as close to a no as Lukashenko gets.

COLORADO - Three firefighters were killed and two others burned while responding to the Knowles and Gore fires along the Colorado-Utah border, officials said. The crew was overtaken in a burnover as hot, dry, windy weather pushed flames across the region. Thousands of firefighters are now deployed to nearly 100 active wildfires. The West is having a very bad week.

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court on Monday blocked President Donald Trump from firing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook while her legal challenge plays out. In a 5 to 4 ruling, the justices said the administration had not shown enough to remove her now, leaving the lower court order in place. The decision keeps Cook on the job and, for the moment, keeps the Fed one step away from the White House.

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court on Monday said states can count mail ballots cast by Election Day even if they arrive later, rejecting a Republican challenge to Mississippi's law in Watson v. Republican National Committee. The 5 to 4 ruling preserves grace periods in 30 states and leaves the bigger fight to election officials now. The court said federal law says when voting ends, not when the mail does.

WASHINGTON - Americans' pride in the country's history and the way its democracy works has slipped sharply over the past decade, according to a new AP-NORC poll. Pride in the military and the nation's influence abroad is down too. The trend cuts across a messy stretch of Trump, pandemic, inflation and political fatigue. Gallup found only 53 percent of adults are extremely or very proud to be American, the weakest reading in its trend since 2001.

NEW YORK - Comcast said Monday it will split into two companies by spinning off NBCUniversal and Sky, handing existing shareholders stock in both businesses.

The tax-free move would leave Comcast focused on cable and broadband while the new public company gets the media assets. Executives said the point is focus, speed and flexibility, not a merger hunt. Investors liked the sound of that. Comcast shares jumped in premarket trading.

TOKYO - The yen fell to 161.96 per dollar, its weakest level since December 1986, and traders are now waiting to see whether Japan steps in. Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama said the government will respond to foreign exchange moves appropriately at any time. Japanese stocks were set to rise as the weaker currency and a rebound in U.S. tech shares helped sentiment. The market knows the drill.

HOUSTON - Brazil needed a stoppage-time goal from Gabriel Martinelli to beat Japan 2-1 and reach the World Cup last 16 on Monday. Kaishu Sano had put Japan ahead in the 29th minute, Casemiro equalized after the break, and Martinelli finished the job in the 95th. Japan still has never won a World Cup knockout match, and this one will sting for a while.

LOS ANGELES - Stephen Eustaquio scored in the 92nd minute on Sunday, and Canada beat South Africa 1-0 to reach the World Cup round of 16 for the first time. The midfielder took a loose ball at the edge of the box and drove it past Ronwen Williams just as extra time loomed. Jesse Marsch called his players Canadian heroes. Canada gets the Netherlands or Morocco next.

NOTTINGHAM - Ben Stokes' England career ended in a 160-run defeat to New Zealand on Monday, sealing a 2-1 series loss at Trent Bridge. The captain had announced the retirement during play on day four, then took a wicket with his next ball and later opened the batting for one last swing at it. England were bowled out for 212 chasing 373. Stokes said he is done, and not coming back for the Ashes.

AUCKLAND - Les Mills, the New Zealand Olympian who turned a single Auckland gym into a fitness brand in more than 100 countries, has died at 91. He competed in four Olympics, won five Commonwealth Games medals and later served three terms as mayor of Auckland. His company said he died peacefully. His workouts are still everywhere.

LONDON - Serena Williams will play singles at Wimbledon on Tuesday for the first time in nearly four years, and the line for Centre Court already looks like it knows. The 44-year-old accepted a late wild card, then spent the weekend explaining why she almost talked herself out of it. She called tennis’ anti-doping rules “grueling” and “unreasonable.” Later this week, she is also set to play doubles with Venus. The grass still has a memory.

LONDON - Naomi Osaka walked onto Court 3 at Wimbledon in an all-white kimono-style ceremonial dress, then beat Elsa Jacquemot in straight sets.

The custom look, made with Tokyo designer Hana Yagi, featured embroidered cranes, cherry blossoms, bell sleeves and a trailing bow. Osaka said the outfit was her way of folding Japanese heritage into Wimbledon's strict white dress code. She removed the layers before play began, but the entrance had already done its work. Wimbledon got its tennis. Osaka got her story.
