For more than 28 hours CNN senior international correspondent Arwa Damon and photojournalist Brice Lane were with Iraqi special forces as they pushed forward into ISIS-held Mosul on Friday.
Their convoy was leading the operation before it came under attack multiple times. Vehicles were destroyed, soldiers were hurt. Troops and journalists sought shelter in a succession of houses, calling for back-up again and again.
Read Damon's account of the battle, from inside armored vehicles to hiding with a famil in their home.
Writing for CNN, President Obama said the United States is partnering with private companies to send humans to Mars and back by the 2030s in a mission that will "make our lives better here on Earth."
“We have set a clear goal vital to the next chapter of America’s story in space: sending humans to Mars by the 2030s and returning them safely to Earth, with the ultimate ambition to one day remain there for an extended time. Getting to Mars will require continued cooperation between government and private innovators, and we’re already well on our way. Within the next two years, private companies will for the first time send astronauts to the International Space Station,” Obama said.
“The next step is to reach beyond the bounds of Earth’s orbit. I’m excited to announce that we are working with our commercial partners to build new habitats that can sustain and transport astronauts on long-duration missions in deep space. These missions will teach us how humans can live far from Earth -- something we’ll need for the long journey to Mars.”
More than 1,000 companies in the US are working on space-related initiatives, Obama said.
Obama will attend a Frontiers Conference on science and technology on Thursday in Pittsburgh.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump clashed in their first head-to-head debate of the general election season, and CNN's Reality Check Team put their statements to the test.
One of the most powerful moments came when the conversation focused on the birther debate following Trump's recent acknowledgment that President Barack Obama was born in the US. With Trump standing just a few feet away, Clinton blasted him for perpetuating a "racist lie."
Trump hit back, noting Clinton's tough critiques of Obama during their bitter 2008 primary battle.
"You treated him with terrible disrespect," he said at the debate.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump shook hands to open their debate at Hofstra University in New York, but the personal jabs and interruptions began quickly.
Clinton said her rival's plans for tax cuts would amount to "trumped up, trickle down" economics. And she jabbed Trump by saying that he had started his real estate business with $14 million from his family.
Trump responded that his father had offered him a "very small loan" to build his business.
"We have to stop our jobs from being stolen from us, we have to stop our companies from leaving the United States," Trump said.
Hours after a coalition airstrike killed Syrian ground forces, the United States relayed its regret to Syria through Russia for the "unintentional loss of life," according to a senior administration official.
It was Russia, a strong ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who notified the US military that coalition aircraft were striking Syrian troops and not ISIS in eastern Syria.
The state-run Sputnik News Agency quoted Russian Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov as saying two F-16s and two A-10s carried out four strikes.
The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the death toll at 83 soldiers and said at least 120 others were wounded.
At least 15 people were killed and dozens hurt in a knife attack at a facility for disabled people in Sagamihara, Japan, NHK reports, citing police.
Chris Froome won his third Tour de France on Sunday -- crossing the finish line in Paris alongside the Team Sky teammates who helped him to victory.
The British rider, who previously won in 2013 and 2015, dominated the 2016 Tour, finishing more than two minutes ahead of Romain Bardet of AG2R La Mondiale in second place and three minutes in front of Team Movistar's Nairo Quintana.

Donald Trump, whose outsider campaign both galvanized millions of voters and divided the Republican Party, is officially the 2016 Republican presidential nominee.
The billionaire businessman reached the 1,237 delegates he needed to clinch the nomination when his son Donald Trump Jr. cast the votes for the New York delegation.
They slugged it out all afternoon with no sign of yielding, but Henrik Stenson landed two huge blows to clinch his first major title in magnificent joust for the Claret Jug.
The 40-year-old Swede became the first Scandinavian man to win a major championship with a three-shot victory over America's Phil Mickelson in the 145th British Open at Royal Troon Sunday.
Stenson, the world No. 6, broke the deadlock by sinking long birdie putts at the 14th and 15th and added two more in the final three holes to card a major record-equalling 63. His final score of 20 under broke Tiger Woods's Open scoring record of 19 under, set in 2000.
Portugal gatecrashed France's Euro 2016 party to win the European Championship for the first time in its history -- and all this without their leading star Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Real Madrid forward had been forced out of the game with a knee injury in the first half, but Portugal regrouped and, thanks to some heroic goalkeeping from Rui Patricio, took the game into extra time before forward Eder struck with 11 minutes to go.
Portugal's win was all the more remarkable given in their previous 10 meetings, France had won all of them.
Ali’s “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” credo described his style inside and outside the ring. He was brash and a showman, and used his fame to champion social causes. For years Ali was probably the most recognizable man on the planet.
Ali was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1984, three years after he retired from the ring. He had been recently hospitalized and was being treated for a respiratory issue, Ali’s spokesman said on Thursday.

The office said in a statement that Abrini confessed to having thrown away his jacket in a garbage bin, and said he sold his hat.
Abrini, who was arrested on Friday, also has been tied through surveillance video and DNA to last November's terror attacks in Paris, which left 130 people dead.
