The Latest: Eurozone's Dijsselbloem says it's up to GreeceBRUSSELS (AP) - The latest on the Greek financial crisis (all times Brussels local): ---

Greece races to restart talks with skeptical creditorsBRUSSELS (AP) - With his country struggling to stave off financial collapse, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will try to convince European creditors to agree on a new bailout program when they meet Tuesday for an emergency eurozone summit. Tsipras is set to offer a new plan of economic measures to creditors that he hopes will restart negotiations on getting new loans for his country. The situation is urgent - without a deal, Greece's banks could go bust within days, the first step in the country's potential exit from the euro currency union.

10 Things to Know for TodayYour daily look at late-breaking news, upcoming events and the stories that will be talked about today: 1. GREEK PREMIER RACES TO RESTART TALKS AFTER VOTE WIN

Diplomatic process, US resolve tested as nuke deadline nearsVIENNA (AP) - Iran nuclear talks are in danger of busting through their second deadline in a week, raising questions about whether world powers can cut off all Iranian pathways to a bomb through diplomacy - and testing the resolve of U.S. negotiators to walk away from negotiations. With a Tuesday target date set for a deal setting a decade of restrictions on Iran's nuclear program, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and other top diplomats were huddling in Vienna looking for a breakthrough.

South Carolina Senate votes to take down Confederate flagCOLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - The push to remove the Confederate flag from the grounds of the South Carolina Statehouse is about to clear its first hurdle. But even if a bill to bring down the rebel banner passes the state Senate as expected Tuesday, it faces a less certain future in the House.

Deadly Washington ice cave collapse after warm temperaturesVERLOT, Wash. (AP) - Ice caves popular with hikers northeast of Seattle partially collapsed, killing one person and leaving at least four other injured, officials said. Monday's collapse came after authorities warned that the caves were especially dangerous because of warming temperatures.

The battle for control of the human breast milk industryTRENTON, N.J. (AP) - It could trade for 400 times more than t 7/8he price of crude oil and 2,000 times more than iron ore. If sold off the shelf, it could cost more than 150 times the price of a gallon of cow's milk and 15 times more than coffee. Going for as much as $4 per ounce, human breast milk is a hot commodity that is emerging as a surprisingly cutthroat industry, one that states are now seeking to regulate amid a battle for control between nonprofit and for-profit banks that supply hospital neonatal units.

2 Americans, 1 Briton gored in 1st Pamplona bull runPAMPLONA, Spain (AP) - Two Americans and a Briton were gored and eight others injured Tuesday as thousands of daredevils dashed alongside fighting bulls through the streets of this northern Spanish city on the first bull run of the San Fermin festival, organizers said. The San Fermin press office said a 38-year-old American identified only by his initials, M.W.O., was gored in the armpit and a 27-year-old Californian identified by the initials D.M.O. was also gored. A 30-year-old Briton with the initials A.B.O. was gored in the groin area. None of the three was said to be in serious condition.

Bruce Jenner's 1984 Olympic Torch going on auction blockNEW YORK (AP) - The 1984 Summer Olympic Torch that Bruce Jenner carried through Lake Tahoe, Nevada, is going on the auction block where it could fetch $20,000 or more. It's the first major piece of Jenner memorabilia to go to auction since the winner of the 1976 Olympic Decathlon Gold Medal became Caitlyn Jenner.

The Latest: Eurogroup ends, Dijsselbloem set for update

Greece restarts talks with creditors as country on edgeBRUSSELS (AP) - With their country struggling to stave off financial collapse, Greek officials restarted talks with skeptical creditors on a new rescue deal, but showed up Tuesday without the concrete proposals their European counterparts had demanded. Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras' situation is urgent: Without a deal, Greece's banks could go bust within days, the first step in the country's potential exit from the euro currency union. Its banks won't reopen until Thursday at the earliest after the European Central Bank refused to increase assistance.

US military chiefs face tough questioning from senatorsWASHINGTON (AP) - America's top two military leaders on Tuesday defended President Barack Obama's strategy to defeat Islamic State militants amid blistering criticism from Republican senators who argued that the administration's program to train and equip thousands of moderate Syrian rebels is faltering. Defense Secretary Ash Carter acknowledged publicly for the first time that the program aimed stopping the momentum of IS has slowed to the point where it has only about 60 participating fighters - a level well beneath that envisioned by U.S. policymakers.

Lawyers: Cosby's drugs-sex admission could aid women's casesPHILADELPHIA (AP) - Lawyers for women pursuing criminal and civil cases against Bill Cosby say his admission that he obtained quaaludes to give young women before sex could bolster their claims. Court documents unsealed Monday show that Cosby says he gave a 19-year-old woman the sedative before they had sex in the 1970s. She is one of three women now suing him for defamation.

Thousands endure heavy rains while awaiting pope in EcuadorQUITO, Ecuador (AP) - Here are the latest developments from Pope Francis' trip to South America: ---

AP PHOTOS: Pope encountering rich indigenous traditionsQUITO, Ecuador (AP) - Rich indigenous traditions dating back centuries before European priests arrived in the New World are on display throughout South America. As Pope Francis tours Ecuador, the government has recruited indigenous people to greet the pontiff at many events. Church officials say he'll make remarks in native tongues including Aymara, Quechua and Guarani during his South American tour, which also includes stops in Bolivia and Paraguay.

Nuke deal remains elusive after deadline, but talks continueVIENNA (AP) - Iran nuclear talks busted through their second deadline in a week Tuesday, raising new questions about the ability of world powers to cut off all Iranian pathways to a bomb through diplomacy. The talks, already in their 12th day, were prolonged until possibly Friday. "We knew it would have been difficult, challenging, and sometimes hard," said Federica Mogherini, the European Union's foreign policy chief. She said the negotiations would continue despite hitting some "tense" moments, and the State Department declared the current interim nuclear arrangement with Iran extended through July 10.

Boycott drive gains strength, raising alarm in IsraelJERUSALEM (AP) - Ten years ago, a small group of Palestinian activists had a novel idea: Inspired by the anti-apartheid movement, they called for a global boycott movement against Israel as a nonviolent method to promote the Palestinian struggle for independence. Long confined to the sidelines, the so-called BDS movement appears to be gaining momentum - so much so that Israel has identified it as a strategic threat on a par with Palestinian militant groups and the Iranian nuclear program. While Israel says the movement is rooted in anti-Semitism, its decentralized organization and language calling for universal human rights have proven difficult to counter, resulting in a string of recent victories that have alarmed Israeli leaders.

Prosecutors seek 3 1/2 years in prison for ex-Auschwitz guardBERLIN (AP) - German prosecutors on Tuesday sought a 3 1/2-year prison sentence for a 94-year-old former SS sergeant who served at the Auschwitz death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland, saying his role there made him an accessory to murder. Oskar Groening has admitted guarding prisoners' baggage after they were unloaded from cattle cars onto the camp's ramps, and collecting and counting money stolen from the new arrivals and sending it to Berlin.

Lack of new Greek proposals leaves eurozone leaders on edgeBRUSSELS (AP) - Eurozone leaders met the beaming smile of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras with anger and frustration Tuesday when it became clear the Greek leader came to their summit without a fresh written proposal on how to save his country from financial ruin. With Greece's banks just days away from a potential collapse that could drag the country out of the euro, Tsipras had been expected to offer up economic reforms in exchange for loans.

Officials: F-16, small plane collide over South CarolinaMONCKS CORNER, S.C. (AP) - An F-16 fighter jet and a small plane collided Tuesday over South Carolina, raining down plane parts and debris over marshes and rice fields. The fighter pilot managed to eject to safety, officials said, though it was not known how many people were on the smaller plane or if anyone on board that craft survived. Debris was scattered across a wide area, though there were no reports of anyone being hurt or any homes being damaged on the ground, Berkeley County spokesman Michael Mule said.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Bill Cosby's accusers see his admission of obtaining quaaludes to give young women before sex as vindication of their claims that he drugged and sexually assaulted them. But a former television co-star and a prominent Cosby defender say they're reserving judgment because the 2005 deposition testimony unsealed Monday doesn't show he did anything wrong.

It was Bill Cosby's moralizing that was his undoingNEW YORK (AP) - For decades, Bill Cosby cast himself as America's dad and then as America's granddad, a moralist with tough talk for young people about acting responsibly. It was that image that proved to be his undoing. The judge who unsealed documents on Monday revealing Cosby's 2005 admission that he obtained quaaludes to give to young women before sex cited the comedian's public moralizing in deciding to release the testimony.

Pope urges Latin Americans to unify, spread the faithQUITO, Ecuador (AP) - Pope Francis urged a crowd of more than 1 million people Tuesday to channel the same urgency that brought Latin America its independence from Spain into spreading the faith on a continent where Catholicism is losing souls to evangelical movements. Francis used his final Mass in Ecuador to appeal for the missionary church that he long has championed. He issued the call from Quito's Bicentennial Park - an apt location given that Ecuador was where the first cries of independence against Spanish rule arose in Latin America in 1809.

Senators quiz military chiefs, criticize US fight against ISWASHINGTON (AP) - Facing blistering criticism from Republican senators, Defense Secretary Ash Carter acknowledged on Tuesday that the U.S. has only 60 trainees in a program to prepare and arm thousands of moderate Syrian rebels in the fight against Islamic State militants. "That is a small class," Carter told the Senate Armed Services Committee. "This is the number that got through a very vigorous vetting and selection process that we have. ... We expect that number to improve."

Federal, Indiana authorities raid Subway spokesman's homeZIONSVILLE, Ind. (AP) - FBI agents and Indiana State Police raided the home of Subway restaurant spokesman Jared Fogle on Tuesday, removing electronics from the property and searching the house with a police dog, two months after the then-executive director of Fogle's foundation was arrested on child pornography charges. FBI agent Wendy Osborne said the agency was conducting an investigation in Zionsville, an affluent Indianapolis suburb, but wouldn't say whether it involved Fogle or describe the nature of the investigation.

SC Senate gives final OK to Confederate flag removalCOLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - The South Carolina Senate gave final approval Tuesday to a bill removing the Confederate flag from a pole in front of the Statehouse, sending the proposal to the House, where it faces a less certain future. The banner at the Capitol came under greater scrutiny over the last few weeks after authorities said a gunman, motivated by racial hatred, opened fire inside a black church June 17, killing nine people. The suspect was photographed several times holding a Confederate flag and burning an American flag, and one of the slain was state Sen. Clementa Pinckney, who was the head pastor at the church.

Britons mark 10th anniversary of London transit attacksLONDON (AP) - Britons paused in silence, laid flowers and lit candles Tuesday to mark the 10th anniversary of suicide bombings on London's transit system in the worst terror attack on British soil and a day of pain seared into London's collective memory. Four British men inspired by al-Qaida blew themselves up on three London subway trains and a bus during the morning rush hour on July 7, 2005, killing 52 commuters and injuring more than 700. The memory of that morning remains raw in this country of 64 million.

Dangerous conditions slow recovery of body at ice cavesVERLOT, Wash. (AP) - Extremely dangerous conditions are making it difficult for rescuers to recover the body of a 34-year-old woman who was buried when ice caves partially collapsed in Washington state amid warm temperatures, authorities said Tuesday. Rescuers say more debris fell overnight, and the body is in the back of the cave, buried by rock and ice. Five people were injured in the collapse and are expected to survive.

The Guardian view on the Greek crisis: time for the French connection | Editorial by Editorial
Tuesday July 7th, 2015 at 4:49 PM

Network Front | The Guardian

The impasse between Athens and Berlin demands an active mediator. Step forward François Hollande

The Greek crisis has reached a point where a mediator could play a crucial role. Eurozone leaders are gathering yet again for an 11th-hour attempt at compromise. This may offer a fresh chance for dialogue and open consultation, but it risks falling short of the kind of hands-on effort that is needed when the task is to steer both sides away from a hugely damaging impasse.

Throughout the crisis there has been the clear possibility of an ultimate clash between, on the one side, Greece’s Syriza government and, on the other, the Brussels institutions – with Germany looming in the background. Intractable conflicts of this kind frequently need an even-handed mediator who addresses complaints, weighs the odds and options, and proposes terms on which adversaries might be persuaded and pressured into agreement.

When drugs are used to coerce sex, it's rape. Even if you're Bill Cosby | Megan Carpentier by Megan Carpentier
Tuesday July 7th, 2015 at 4:49 PM

Network Front | The Guardian

Whether it’s Quaaludes or alcohol – or anything else – they’re not used to obtain consent

A man who wishes to have sex with a woman does not ply her with prescription sedatives, date rape drugs or excess alcohol to get her to say yes. A man like that uses substances to prevent her from saying no, because he doesn’t care if she says yes. A man like that wants a woman incapacitated in order to rape her, not in order to have sex with her – and such men admit as much to researchers.

If a nuclear deal is reached between Iran and world powers in Vienna, it will be a highly technical road map to be used to monitor nuclear activity in Iran for years to come to ensure Tehran does not make nuclear weapons. Equally as complicated will be dismantling international sanctions that were originally intended to be ironclad. VOA’s Heather Murdock talks to experts about the key challenges any deal will present.
