• National Hurricane Center tracking new disturbance in central Atlantic

  The area of low pressure could form in the central portion of the Tropical Atlantic in a few days, according to the NHC, where environmental conditions appear "generally favorable" for slow development of the system this weekend into early next week.
  
  According to the hurricane center, the disturbance is forecast to move westward to west-northwestward at 10 to 15 miles per hour and has a 20 percent chance of formation over the next seven days.
  
  So far this year, including the three that are spinning Monday, there have been more storms in the Pacific than the Atlantic, and that's a bit of a surprise, forecasters say. In addition, it's been eerily calm in the Atlantic over the past week or so as we approach what's traditionally the busiest time of the season.

• Israel and Hezbollah escalated, then pulled back
  There’s still plenty of tension and concerns about regional warfare...
  There’s still plenty of tension and concerns about regional warfare in the Middle East but for now, Israel and Hezbollah seem to have stepped back from the brink after exchanging attacks over the weekend. On Sunday, Israel sent 100 warplanes to take out thousands of Hezbollah rocket launchers in Lebanon that were pointed at Israel for an attack the militia said was retaliation for Israel killing one of its top commanders last month. Though both sides have said the conflict is ongoing, things remained quiet after the incident. Meanwhile, negotiators continue to try to help Israel and Hamas reach a deal for a cease-fire in Gaza, and Iran has vowed to retaliate for Israel’s killing of a Hamas leader in Tehran.

  France’s president says Telegram founder’s arrest was not political. French President Emmanuel Macron defended the arrest of Telegram’s Russian-born CEO, Pavel Durov, at a French airport, saying France is committed to free speech and it was “in no way a political decision.” Prosecutors say the arrest was part of a wide-ranging investigation, opened in July, that touched on the messaging app’s role in crimes including child pornography, drug trafficking, and fraud. Under French law, they can detain Durov, who has not been named as the investigation’s target, for questioning until tomorrow. Telegram said Durov has nothing to hide.
