Good evening. Here's the latest at the end of Monday.
What we know about the apparent attempt on Trump's lifeThe suspect in an apparent attempt to assassinate Donald Trump was charged today with possessing a firearm as a felon and having a gun with its serial number erased. The first carries a 15-year prison sentence. Here are live updates. Cellphone data indicated that Ryan Routh, 58, was in the woods near Trump's golf course in West Palm Beach, Fla., for roughly 12 hours before a Secret Service agent spotted what appeared to be the barrel of a rifle and opened fire. The suspect fled the scene, leaving behind a semiautomatic rifle, and was arrested later. Routh never had Trump in his sightline, and did not fire his weapon, said Ronald Rowe, the acting Secret Service director. He was previously arrested in 2002 in Greensboro, N.C., after he barricaded himself inside a building with a fully automatic weapon. Records show that he was convicted of "possessing a weapon of mass death and destruction," a felony. In 2019, he was investigated by the F.B.I. based on a tip that he was in possession of a firearm. Thomas Gibbons-Neff, The Times's Ukraine correspondent, interviewed Routh for a 2023 article about American volunteers fighting in Ukraine. The man had wanted to fly Afghan veterans to fight Russia. He was, Thomas writes, "in way over his head." This is what we know about Routh.
Deadly floods hit Central EuropeAt least 17 people were dead and several others missing after days of flooding in Central Europe. Thousands have been displaced, and with heavy rains continuing in some places, officials fear there could be more destruction ahead. The floodwaters have ravaged towns, destroyed bridges and breached dams since intense rainfall from Storm Boris — a slow-moving, low-pressure system — began last week.
Judges appeared skeptical as TikTok fought a banTikTok, and its parent company ByteDance, appeared before a panel of federal judges as they fought a ban that would force the app to be sold to a non-Chinese owner or to stop operating in the U.S. Two of the judges expressed some skepticism around TikTok's arguments that Congress lacked the authority to pass such a law and its defense that it was being unfairly singled out. Two judges also pressed the government on how a ban might infringe on the First Amendment. The lawyers have asked the judges to deliver a decision in the case before Dec. 6.
The Titan was riddled with problems, investigators saidThe Coast Guard began its first public hearing on the Titan submersible disaster that killed five people in 2023. The first witness, a former engineering director at OceanGate, which operated the vessel, was visibly shaken after seeing the Coast Guard's initial presentation on the Titan. There were 70 equipment issues in 2021 and 48 more in 2022. Less than four weeks before the fatal mission, the craft was found "partially sunk" two days after a test. Read more on the hearing.

FX reigned at the Emmys with 'Shogun' and 'The Bear'Robert Iger, the chief executive of Disney, said he was skeptical of "Shogun," given its subtitles and big budget. But executives at FX, a network known for critics' darlings, convinced him. The show took about a decade to come together, and last night at the Emmy Awards, that enormous patience paid off. Disney won 60 Emmys, and FX was responsible for 36. Of those, 18 went to "Shogun," including the network's first win for best drama. FX's show "The Bear" also dominated the comedy awards with 23 nominations and 11 wins. My colleagues in Culture say "Shogun" is very much worth your time, and here's why. Recaps: Check out the best and worst moments from the awards, the red carpet photos, and 16 unforgettable looks.

Customized drinks are off the railsCould that S'mores Cold Brew benefit from a splash of Coca-Cola? How about adding caffeine syrup to your Berry Hibiscus Sour-ade? When the very American need for instant energy collides with the equally American urge to express yourself, you get an out-of-control ecosystem of made-to-order drinks. Fast-food giants like McDonald's, Burger King and Panera are on the scene. There are also smaller but growing chains like Swig, a modern answer to the soda fountains of the 1950s. As a plus, some of these shops are hangout spots for people who don't drink coffee or alcohol. Have a bubbly evening. Thanks for reading. — Justin Sign up here to get this newsletter in your inbox.
