WEEKEND TOP STORIES
-------------------------------------
------------------
SATURDAY
------------------
SUPREME-COURT-NEW-TERM -- Transgender rights, the regulation of "ghost guns" and the death penalty highlight the Supreme Court's election-season term that begins Monday, with the prospect of the justices' intervention in voting disputes lurking in the background. UPCOMING: 580 words, photos by 12:30 a.m. WITH: SUPREME-COURT-NEW-TERM-GLANCE. Eds: This is the Sunday Spotlight.
ELECTION-2024-TRUMP -- Donald Trump holds an event in Butler, Pennsylvania, at the same site where he was nearly assassinated by a gunman. UPCOMING: 500 words, photos by 12:30 a.m. Eds: Trump expected to speak at 5 p.m.
ELECTION-2024-WALZ-HMONG-COMMUNITY -- Hmong Minnesotans were among those who watched as Gov. Tim Walz was catapulted onto the Democratic presidential ticket with Vice President Kamala Harris two months ago. They have watched him crisscross the country and earlier this week debate Republican Ohio Sen. JD Vance. Hmong lawmakers and community activists say Walz has built a mostly positive reputation with Minnesota's largest Asian ethnic group. SENT: 1,100 words, photos by 9 a.m.
IRAN-US-HACKS-AND-HITS -- Iran falling under suspicion of trying to hack figures associated with the upcoming U.S. presidential election and plotting the assassination of former President Donald Trump comes after decades of cyberwarfare both attributed to and targeting the Islamic Republic, as well as other campaign abroad targeting opponents of its theocracy. UPCOMING: 1,250 words, photos by 12:30 a.m.
MIDEAST-WAR-ANNIVERSARY-ISRAEL-MOOD -- Across Israel, it can seem on the surface that much of life has returned to normal, but a year of war has cast a pall and is affecting nearly every facet of daily life. At bars and cafes, there's laughter and life as diners spill into outdoor seating and clink glasses. But even there, pictures of hostages held in Gaza stare down at patrons from lampposts and shop windows. And with an escalating front in the north, many Israelis are left feeling depressed, despondent and angry. UPCOMING: 1,200 words, photos, video by 12:30 a.m.
BE-WELL-DENTAL-SCAM -- Dentists say unlicensed practitioners offering cheap dental veneers are putting patients at risk. Dental veneers are customized teeth coverings that can restore a photogenic smile without more extensive work. Self-described "veneer techs" often promote themselves on social media, promising a full set of veneers for less than half of what dentists typically charge. It's misleading, health professionals warn -- and illegal. UPCOMING: 800 words, photos by 9 a.m.
MMA-UFC-307 -- Light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira faces Khalil Rountree Jr. in the main event at UFC 307. UPCOMING: 600 words, photos. Main card begins at 10 p.m.

SUNDAY
-----------------
AFFORDABLE-HOUSING-DISAPPEARING -- While Americans continue to struggle under high rents, as many as 223,0000 affordable housing units could disappear in the next five years alone. Those units were built with the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, which gives developers tax credits in exchange for keeping rents low. But there's a catch. The buildings typically only need to be kept affordable for a minimum of 30 years. UPCOMING: 1,380 words, photos by 2:30 a.m. WITH: AFFORDABLE-HOUSING-DISAPPEARING-TAKEAWAYS. Eds: This is the Monday Spotlight.
MIDEAST-WAR-ANNIVERSARY-THE-DISPLACED -- The Abu Jarad family lost the stability and comfort of their northern Gaza home when Israel launched its campaign in retaliation for Hamas' Oct. 7 attack. They did exactly as the Israelis ordered in the devastating weeks and months of war that followed. They obeyed evacuation calls. They moved where the military told them to. They fled seven times. Each one, their lives became more unrecognizable, crowding with strangers in a school, searching for water in a tent camp or sleeping on the street. UPCOMING: 1,900 words, photos, video by 12:30 a.m. Eds: An abridged version is also planned.
MIDEAST-WAR-ANNIVERSARY-PROTESTS -- Campuses across the U.S. have been calmer in the wake of last spring's protests, yet many are mired in a lingering unease. Students say they're reluctant to speak out for fear it could pit them against students, professors or employers. Social bubbles have cemented along the divisions of the war. New protest rules on many campuses raise the risk of suspension or expulsion. UPCOMING: 900 words, photos by 12:30 a.m.
ELECTION-2024-TRADE -- Top US trade official sees progress in helping workers. Voters will decide if her approach continues. UPCOMING: 900 words, photos, video by 10 a.m.
ELECTION-2024-TRUMP -- Donald Trump holds an event in Juneau, Wisconsin. UPCOMING: 900 words, photos, video. Eds: Trump expected to speak around 3 p.m.
GEORGIA-DOUKHOBORS -- Members of a pacifist Christian sect that emerged in 18th century Russia were exiled to Georgia about 200 years ago for refusing to serve in the tsarist army and rejecting orthodox rituals. The Doukhobors established 10 villages in Georgia, where they prospered as farmers and maintained their pacifist principles. But the sect continued to suffer persecution under successive Russian and Soviet regimes. UPCOMING: 1,080 words, photos by 12:30 a.m.

MONDAY
------------------
ISRAEL-PALESTINIANS -- Coverage of ceremonies marking a year since Hamas attacks. UPCOMING: 900 words, photos, video, by 12:30 a.m. WITH: ISRAEL-PALESTINIANS-LATEST.
MIDEAST-WAR-ANNIVERSARY-GAZA-DESTRUCTION -- The Gaza Strip is in ruins. There are hills of rubble where apartment blocks stood, and pools of sewage-tainted water spreading disease. City streets have been churned into dirt canyons and, in many places, the air is filled with the stench of unrecovered corpses. Israel's yearlong offensive against Hamas, one of the deadliest and most destructive in recent history, has killed more than 41,000 people, according to local health officials. With no end in sight to the war and no plan for the day after, it is impossible to say when anything will be rebuilt. UPCOMING: 1,300 words, photos by 12:30 a.m.
MIDEAST WAR-ANIVERSARY-SHATTERED-KIBBUTZ -- Hamas' attack killed her son, destroyed her home and shattered her faith in Israel's leaders. A year on Liora Eilon is still demanding answers. One year after Hamas militants stormed into her kibbutz and killed her son and dozens of other residents, Liora Eilon, 71, lives in a university dormitory and wonders if she will ever feel safe enough to return home. Kibbutz Kfar Azza is still heavily damaged by the fierce battle that raged for days between Hamas and the ill-prepared Israeli military, and reconstruction of destroyed homes could take years. UPCOMING: 1,920 words, video by 12:30 a.m.
ELECTION-2024-INTERFERING-AFTER-VOTING -- The hours and days immediately after Election Day are likely to pose the greatest opportunity for anyone looking to mislead and deceive U.S. voters. That's according to tech executives, elected officials and intelligence analysts. They say America's adversaries will likely try to spread claims about voting irregularities or insecure election systems while the ballots are still being counted. UPCOMING: 920 words, photos by 12:30 a.m.
ELECTION-2024-TRUMP -- Donald Trump holds events on the anniversary of Hamas' Oct. 7 attack. UPCOMING: 900 words, photos, video. Eds: Trump expected to speak at 6 p.m.
