Keir Starmer becomes UK PM as conservatives suffer record defeat in huge Labour landslide
A change election in the United Kingdom has taken place as the center-left Labour Party won a huge landslide, putting a crushing end to the 14-year rule of the Conservative Party, which suffered a record devastating defeat -- perhaps the worst in its history. Voters have inflicted a historic wipe out on the Tory party that led Britain through Brexit and, with almost all results called, Labour has won over 400 seats, gaining a huge majority of more than 190, comparable to Tony Blair’s sweeping victory in 1997. The Tories meanwhile have lost hundreds of seats, on track for the worst result since the party’s founding in the 1830s.

Polls open in Iran run-off presidential election
Polls opened Friday in Iran for the run-off presidential election as none of the four candidates won more than 50% of the votes in the first round on June 28.

Democrats in 'painful' waiting game in party's post-debate reckoning
Democrats are bracing for a painful waiting game in the next few weeks as the party continues to reconcile its future after President Joe Biden's devastating debate last week. Democratic insiders told ABC News they anticipate the questions over Biden's candidacy won't be answered for at least another week -- and possibly longer -- as the campaign, lawmakers and strategists wait to see polling conducted with the debate at least a few weeks in the rearview mirror. The Biden campaign, in the meantime, is rolling out a more aggressive strategy, having the president meet with Democratic governors, dispatching him to Wisconsin and Philadelphia and allowing an interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos in an attempt to show voters he is equipped for another four years in office.

Biden, in political crisis, holds campaign rally in Wisconsin ahead of pivotal ABC News interview
President Joe Biden heads to 2024 battleground Wisconsin on Friday for a closely-watched campaign rally and a critical interview with ABC News that could prove pivotal to his candidacy and presidency. Biden is under growing pressure from some Democrats to publicly prove his mental and physical fitness -- by answering questions and making unscripted remarks -- and he'll get a high-stakes chance to do so when ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos speaks with him in Madison, Wisconsin, on Friday. "I'm not going anywhere," Biden said Thursday, speaking at a July Fourth barbecue for military families when someone in the crowd shouted, "Keep up the fight."

What it's like living next to Wimbledon, host of the world's most famous tennis tournament
For 50 weeks a year, the southwest London borough of Merton is regarded by many Londoners as an almost-sleepy area of the hulking capital city that offers peaceful open spaces and – often expensive – family-friendly housing to just 200,000 of London’s estimated 9 million residents. “The enduring popularity of tennis has kept the local property market in the forefront of people’s minds for a very long time,” said Cory Askew, head of Savills Estate Agents in Wimbledon. “Although there are a variety of factors why people choose to live here, it’s fair to say that one of the reasons that international tenants and buyers in particular are drawn to or made aware of the area is down to The Championships and references to Wimbledon in popular culture.”

Britain's Conservative Party ousted after 14 years, marking big victory for Labour
After 14 years in power with five consecutive prime ministers, the U.K.'s Conservative Party was voted out of power on Thursday, ceding control to Labour, a center-left party that had run on a platform calling for "change." The results were widely expected, as public support for the Conservatives, or Tories, had eroded amid Brexit, COVID and a rise in inflation. With almost all the votes counted, Labour candidates were expected to win 412 seats, while Conservatives would take 120 seats, according to the Press Association.
