Authorities warn that hurricane ‘will cause unsurvivable storm surge’ in Texas and Louisiana. A court in New Zealand has sentenced the white supremacist behind terrorist attacks against two mosques to life in prison without parole. It's the first time such a sentence has ever been passed in the country. And sports teams and players are boycotting their matches in response to the events in Wisconsin where a black man, Jacob Blake, was shot in the back by a police officer.
