| A shooting at a Tennessee nightclub early Sunday morning left three dead and 14 wounded in Chattanooga, just hours after a shooting rampage in Philadelphia on a crowded downtown street killed three people and wounded 11 others. Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed to destroy what Moscow hasn't yet ravaged in a warning to the West against sending longer-range rocket systems to Ukraine. Tropical Storm Alex is heading to Bermuda after it inundated parts of Florida over the weekend. Today marks the anniversary of the historic D-Day mission. It's the NHL's Western Conference final Game 4. |

| 🌅 Up first: A no-confidence vote in Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson will be held Monday that could oust him as the country's leader. The vote, which will take place in person in the House of Commons, was called by rebel lawmakers from Johnson's ruling Conservative Party. If Johnson loses the vote among the 359 Conservative lawmakers, he will be replaced as Conservative leader and as prime minister by someone else from his party. If he wins, he can't face another challenge for a year. Britain elects a party, not a leader. |

Russian missiles hit Kyiv as Kremlin tightens pressure on Donbas region |
| Russian President Vladimir Putin said Sunday that the new inclusion of Western long-range missile systems in Ukraine's defenses would lead Moscow to hit "objects that we haven't yet struck." Smoke billowed from Kyiv, hit by airstrikes after a lull in assaults on the capital city. Putin's threat came only days after the U.S. announced it was giving Ukraine advanced weaponry. Russia is continuing what British officials have called a "creeping advance" on Ukraine's eastern Donbas region on Monday. Russian troops blew up bridges and shelled apartments in Sievierodonetsk and neighboring Lysychansk, the last two major cities of the Luhansk province still held by Ukraine. If captured, Putin would take control of the contested area. |

Tropical Storm Alex heads toward Bermuda |
| Tropical Storm Alex, which became the first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season Sunday, is forecast to pass just north of Bermuda on Monday, after killing three people in Cuba and causing flooding in parts of Florida . Forecasters said it could drop 1 to 2 inches of rain from late Sunday into Monday. Alex reached tropical storm force after strengthening off Florida's east coast early Sunday, and was centered about 245 miles west of Bermuda late Sunday, with maximum sustained winds at around 70 mph, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center. Bermuda's National Security Minister Michael Weeks said emergency services were monitoring the storm. Alex partially emerged from the remnants of Hurricane Agatha , which made landfall on Mexico's southern Pacific Coast last week, killing at least nine people as it moved overland. |

78th anniversary of the historic D-Day operation of World War II |
| Today marks the 78th anniversary of the historic D-Day operation . In the midst of World War II on June 6, 1944, Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy in Nazi-occupied France. More than 156,000 troops, notably from the United States, Britain and Canada, confronted Nazi forces, on D-Day forever reshaping the war, according to the Department of Defense. D-Day began the assault phase (codenamed Operation Neptune) of the wider Allied invasion of northwest Europe led by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, known as Operation Overlord. The exact number of people killed in the fighting is unknown, but research by the U.S. National D-Day Memorial Foundation estimates that there were over 4,000 Allied deaths and between 4,000 and 9,000 German losses on D-Day. More than 100,000 Allied and German soldiers died during the full Battle at Normandy and around 20,000 French civilians were reportedly killed in the bombings. |

NHL's Western Conference final Game 4 |
| The Colorado Avalanche could become the first team to clinch a spot in the NHL's Stanley Cup Final when they visit the Edmonton Oilers in Game 4 on Monday. The Avalanche, who haven't been to the Final since winning the Cup in 2001, lead the best-of-seven Western Conference final 3-0. The Avalanche will be without No. 2 center Nazem Kadri, who was injured on a boarding penalty by Edmonton's Evander Kane in Game 3 and has been ruled out for the rest of the series . The Oilers will be without Kane, the league's leading playoff goal scorer, on Monday after he was suspended for one game. If the Oilers fail to advance, it would extend Canada's futility in the playoffs. The 1993 Montreal Canadiens were the last Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup. The winner of the Western final will face either the two-time defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning or the New York Rangers in the championship round. The Rangers lead the Eastern final 2-1. |
