Landmark US housing bill becomes law despite Trump protest
President Donald Trump allowed landmark housing legislation to become law overnight on Friday without his signature.

While the White House has been keen to push the scheme, reaction to it has been split.
The White House's argument is that Trump Accounts offer millions of children a way into stock ownership in the US, which it says has historically been "unevenly distributed, with many households - especially younger and lower‑income families - having little or no exposure".

Spain battles to contain one of its deadliest wildfires as at least 12 killed
Officials in Bedar said some of those who had died had not taken a recommended evacuation route - but it's not clear how well that guidance was conveyed.
Neither the Spanish authorities - nor the Foreign Office in London - have revealed the identity of the deceased.
Sanz said the rapid fire had been complex and the majority or even all of the victims may have been foreign nationals.
Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot said many Belgians had second homes in the country and consular services were trying to contact "Belgians with
