Iran coach Amir Ghalenoei blasted the treatment of his team at the FIFA World Cup, suggesting it's been unethical. Iran's team arrived in the United States fewer than 18 hours before its scoreless game against Belgium on Sunday, Ghalenoei said. As a result, the team had to cut its training in half. Mexico's hospitality for Iran's Cup team has not gone unnoticed.

Alan Greenspan, influential economist and Fed chairman, dies at 100 |
Alan Greenspan, the influential economist who steered the United States' monetary policy during his five terms as chairman of the Federal Reserve under four presidents, died Monday. He was 100.
|
In his more than 18 years as head of the Federal Reserve , Greenspan became one of the most revered public figures in the world. He steered the U.S. economy through the stock market crash of 1987, the dot-com bubble burst of 2000, the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, and the slowdown from 2001 to 2003. Through it all, he earned a reputation as a flexible, forward-thinking, quick-moving and consensus-building economist.

Britain will get its seventh leader in a decade after Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigned Monday, less than two years after he won a landslide election victory.
|
British voters elect a party, not a specific leader, meaning that Starmer's center-left Labour will stay in government until the next general election, due in 2029. His Labour Party rival Andy Burnham is the leading candidate to replace him.

The alternative America 250 birthday parties |
Some organizers say America's complicated and at times difficult history is being glossed over by fireworks and flag-waving ‒ or that it's being politicized by an administration that has actively worked to advance its version of history. USA TODAY spoke with a growing number of Americans hosting events, exhibitions and programs in an effort to counter what they say is an effort by the Trump administration to exclude or erase the stories of marginalized people during the nation's 250th birthday celebrations.
