Special Counsel Robert Mueller is set to testify before two house committees this week. Republicans promise tough questions while Democrats1 say they'll focus on evidence of wrongdoing by President Trump2.

Puerto Rico could see one of its biggest protests yet. Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators are expected to shut down a busy highway Monday as they push the territory's governor to resign.

Israel is demolishing3 dozens of Palestinian homes in east Jerusalem. Israel says they're too close to the West Bank border. Residents say they had legitimate4 Palestinian authority permits to build.

And tens of thousands of homes and businesses lost power in New York City amid a brutal5 heat wave. Some people had their power back on by early Monday morning.
