Good evening. Here's the latest at the end of Monday.
🇺🇸 2024 The presidential election is 57 days away. Here's the latest from the campaign trail.
Harris said she is ready for the biggest night of her careerVice President Kamala Harris has spent much of the past several days holed up in a Pittsburgh hotel, practicing for her debate tomorrow night against Donald Trump. There's a stage, replica TV lighting and an adviser acting as Trump. Trump has opted for much more casual debate prep, with his advisers urging him to avoid looking like a bully. One of the key questions going into the event is whether Trump can restrain himself despite his history of being physically and rhetorically hostile to women on the debate stage. The clash will be especially important for Harris, who began her campaign for president less than two months ago. A recent Times poll found that she was narrowly trailing Trump nationwide in part because nearly a third of voters said that they needed to learn more about her. The debate will also be a test of Harris's carefully rehearsed, aggressive debate style. "When Harris has not methodically prepared, she sometimes has trouble," our politics reporter Lisa Lerer said. "That could end up being a problem with Trump because he is, above all other things, a highly unpredictable debater." Here's what else to know:
Your questions: We're asking readers what they'd like to know about the election and taking those questions to our reporters. We gave one to Edward Wong, who covers foreign policy. "Europe is watching. How come the candidates don't talk about the global view on America and the necessity to reconnect to allies?" — Yasha Young, Berlin Edward: Most American voters do not see foreign policy as a decisive issue or a priority in U.S. elections, unless American troops are directly involved in a disastrous war, so candidates generally do not spend much time talking about U.S. alliances or global affairs. However, we might see journalists ask both Harris and Trump questions about their foreign policy views in the televised debate on Tuesday. You can send us your questions here.
The U.S. argued that Google has an ad-tech monopolyThe Justice Department told a federal judge today that Google had built a monopoly in online ad-selling technology, kicking off the search giant's second major antitrust trial. The government's prosecutor argued that Google's large market share, 87 percent, allowed it to charge high prices and take a significant portion of each sale, harming website owners. The case could reshape the tech giant's business: Last year, about three-quarters of Google's revenue came from advertising, which it argues it earned by offering the best product. It arrived in court for this case about a month after a judge separately ruled that Google had illegally maintained a monopoly over online search.
Apple is betting on A.I.Apple today unveiled its first artificially intelligent smartphone, the iPhone 16, in an effort to re-energize its most popular product with software that can summarize notifications, offer writing recommendations and find photos from a user's description. Other capabilities will arrive over time, Apple said. The broader tech industry is hoping that Apple can help make A.I. mainstream. Test yourself: A.I. can now create lifelike videos. Can you tell what is real?
James Earl Jones died at 93James Earl Jones, the versatile stage, film and television actor who gave life to characters like Darth Vader in "Star Wars" and Mufasa in "The Lion King," died today at 93. Jones was abandoned as a child by his parents, raised by a racist grandmother and mute for years as he struggled with a severe stutter. But he learned to speak again with a herculean will, and his voice became iconic for a generation of moviegoers. More top news
'My Brilliant Friend' comes to a brilliant conclusionBeginning tonight, the final season of HBO's "My Brilliant Friend" will wrap up the tale of Lila and Lenù. Their story is adapted from Elena Ferrante's beloved novels, but our critic James Poniewozik writes that the show stands out by itself. "This is, simply put, one of the most incisive portraits of a lifelong relationship ever made for TV," James wrote. We also talked to the four actresses who played Lila and Lenù about how the show changed their lives. For more: Here are the television shows that we are most looking forward to this fall.
A portrait of Prince that you may never seeMy colleague Sasha Weiss is one of a small group of people who have watched Ezra Edelman's nine-hour documentary about Prince. It's a dense and revealing portrait about a deeply flawed genius and pop icon that could redefine our understanding of him, Sasha wrote. But you will probably never get to see it. That's because the new executors of Prince's estate object to the project, and are fighting Netflix, which owns the rights to the film, to make sure it never sees the light of day.

English manors with easy mannersBritain is dotted with centuries-old mansions that have been carefully restored as high-end hotels. They often offer fine dining, poolside champagne and croquet lawns, and have fancy names like "manor." But The Pig, as you may have guessed by its name, is something different. It's a collection of British country house hotels that caters to a much less formal clientele. The buildings are still grand and historic, and often surrounded by handcrafted gardens, but there's certainly no white glove service. But please don't put your feet up on the furniture. Have a laid-back evening. Thanks for reading. I'll be back tomorrow. — Matthew Sean Kawasaki-Culligan was our photo editor today. We welcome your feedback. Write to us at evening@nytimes.com.
