Why scientists say not to be spooked by recent shark attacks. Hunter Biden's gun trial heads to the jury for deliberations. And a look at what Apple has in store for the future. |
πHey there! Laura Davis here. Ready for Monday's news? Let's dive in. |
There's something in the water |
Where there is warm salt water, you're likely to find fish. Sharks love fish. Humans love warm salt water. It can be a deadly combination. And even after a pair of shark attacks off the Florida coast left three people injured last week, experts say beachgoers shouldn't be alarmed. (But you should always be aware of dangerous marine life.) |
More people, more problems: The number of shark attacks and deaths went up last year, but recent numbers are not out of the ordinary. So far this year, shark bites have decreased. But when warm weather brings more people to the shorelines where sharks feed on fish, the chance of an attack goes up. π¦ Here's what to know. | A group of divers swim with a sandbar shark off Jupiter, Fla., on Feb. 24.

Hunter Biden's trial on federal gun charges is now in the hands of the jury. Those 12 Delaware residents will decide whether Biden illegally bought and owned a revolver while he was an unlawful drug user or addict. |
What's going on: The president's 54-year-old son faces a maximum of 25 years in prison if convicted of all three felony charges: lying on a federal screening form, lying to a gun dealer and possessing the gun. But first-time offenders on nonviolent charges are typically given shorter sentences. The trial is historic because Biden is the first child of a sitting president to be tried for a crime. π Follow our live updates. | Hunter Biden arrives with his wife Melissa Cohen Biden for his trial on criminal gun charges, in Wilmington, Delaware, on June 10, 2024.

What's up next? For Apple, it's not just AI, it's Apple Intelligence. The tech company shared what it's got coming at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, which kicked off Monday, including what's planned for iOS 18, AI, redesigned Photos and a smarter Siri. |
AI = Apple Intelligence: Apple Intelligence will be able to help with writing, including proofreading and rewrite features, and a smart reply option for emails. You'll even be able to use AI to create custom emoji (dubbed "Genmoji"). And Siri is even getting a makeover! The voice assistance will be smarter and more "natural, relevant, personal." π² See what else Apple unveiled. | Siri is getting smarter and more seamless with the integration of what's being called Apple Intelligence, the company's use of AI.

Massive fire engulfs Miami apartment building |
A massive blaze broke out inside an apartment complex in Miami Monday morning, and a man was found shot inside in what officials said was the city's first three-alarm fire in 25 years. |
At the scene: One person inside the building was found with gunshot wounds and was taken to a nearby hospital. At least two firefighters were hospitalized in the vast response, which saw 40 units deployed and multiple residents rescued from their balconies as the building burned behind them. As of Monday afternoon, 40 people had been rescued from the building, and Miami Fire Rescue officials said the fire was under control, and under investigation. π Here's what we know. | A photo from City of Miami Fire Rescue shows a three-alarm fire that engulfed an apartment building near downtown Miami on Monday, June 10, 2024.
