Jacobs still flying 'under the radar' after Tokyo gold
ROME — Hardly anyone outside of Italy had heard of Marcell Jacobs before he succeeded Usain Bolt as the Olympic 100 meter champion in Tokyo. So Jacobs also has the unusual status of being both the defending champion while remaining an underdog for the biggest race of the Olympics. Having dealt with a series of physical issues, the 29-year-old Jacobs hasn't won all that much over the past two years. Jacobs also helped Italy to gold in the 4x100 relay in the Azzurri's breakout performance in Tokyo and became an instant celebrity at home. Up next comes Jacobs' biggest pre-Olympics test at the European Championships on his home track in Rome starting Friday.

“I’ve come here today to do what Republicans in Congress refuse to do, take the necessary steps to secure our border,” Biden said. A senior administration official said the 2,500 threshold was chosen to be similar to the deal stuck in the Senate. She added that she expects Tuesday’s executive order to be legally challenged. “We are prepared for any litigation on this rule,” a senior administration official said. However, some Democrats in border states, including Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, welcomed the executive order.

India's Modi set for a record third term, but wings clipped
For Modi whose approval ratings have been the highest among world leaders and who ran a presidential-style campaign, such a result is the first sign of the ground shifting. His giant cutouts were everywhere, his face on television screens every day as he courted India's 968 million voters with a personal "Modi guarantee" to change their lives. "What we have done in the last 10 years is only a preview, a trailer," Modi told a recent rally. The BJP has dismissed opposition speculation that Modi, 73, might hang up his boots once he reaches 75, like some other party leaders have done in recent years. A reduced mandate for Modi's ruling alliance forecloses the possibility of changes to India's secular constitution that opposition groups had warned against.
