REUTERS/Eric Gaillard[/caption] A large truck crashed into a crowd during Bastille Day celebrations in Nice, France Thursday evening. More than 80 people were killed and many more are in critical condition. The deadly attack occurred after a busy week in politics, in the U.S. and in the U.K. Following much deliberation, Donald Trump picked Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his vice presidential running mate, Bernie Sanders finally endorsed Hillary Clinton for president and Theresa May became the second-ever female U.K. prime minister. Read the biggest stories of the week, as they appeared in The Daily Edition. 1. France stunned after truck attacker kills 84 on Bastille Day in Nice—The Guardian, Angelique Chrisafis, Sofia Fischer and Mark Rice-Oxley Top line: “France has been stunned and sickened by a third massacre in 18 months in which a truck driver mowed down night-time crowds celebrating Bastille Day on the seafront in Nice. He killed at least 84 people and injured scores more, many of them small children. The armed man, believed to be a 31-year-old French Tunisian who lived locally, zigzagged the vehicle at high speeds for more than a mile along a beachfront esplanade, instantly turning a festival atmosphere of fireworks and families into carnage. Police shot him dead inside the truck’s cabin.” Magazine to follow: Deadly Crash in Nice, France 2. Donald Trump Selects Mike Pence, Indiana Governor, as Running Mate—The New York Times, Alexander Burns, Maggie Haberman and Thomas Kaplan Top line: “Donald J. Trump named Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana as his running mate on Friday, adding to the Republican ticket a traditional conservative who boasts strong credentials with the Christian right, and bringing an end to a vice presidential selection process that seemed at risk of spinning out of control…By choosing Mr. Pence as his partner, Mr. Trump has opted both to bow to political convention and also to gamble on a comparatively untested choice. Mr. Pence cuts a far more generic political profile than Mr. Trump; he is viewed by Republicans in Washington and Indiana as a sturdy and predictable politician.” Topic to follow: Donald Trump [caption id="attachment_29240" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron, his wife Samantha and their children Nancy, Florence and Elwen, centre, wave as they leave 10 Downing Street, in London, Wednesday, July 13, 2016.

Obama to Dallas Mourners: ‘We’re Not as Divided as We Seem’—NBC News, Jon Schuppe Top line: “President Obama, attending another service for victims of a mass shooting and trying to mend a country riven by distrust between citizens and police, paid tribute to five Dallas officers ambushed at a protest last week, saying their deaths should remind Americans of their common ideals. He spoke of the thankless work done by police officers around the country, and of the legitimate grievances that many black people feel from years of discrimination, including at the hands of law enforcement… Tuesday’s service marked the start of a deep period of mourning in Dallas, with funerals for the dead officers to begin the following day. For Obama, it marked the 11th time during his presidency that he’d visited scenes of mass shootings to offer condolences, most recently last month in Orlando.” Magazine to follow: Dallas Police Shooting [caption id="attachment_29237" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Protester Ieshia Evans is detained by law enforcement near the headquarters of the Baton Rouge Police Department in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

In the future I will be more circumspect.’ In an interview with The New York Times published Sunday, Ginsburg said, ‘I can’t imagine what this place would be—I can’t imagine what the country would be—with Donald Trump as our president.’ She continued: ‘For the country, it could be four years.
