Puerto Rico's embattled governor says he will not seek re-election next year and will step down as head of his party following nine days of sometimes violent protests demanding his resignation over vulgar chat messages. A day before a planned general strike and more demonstrations in the U.S. island territory, Ricardo Rossello said he respected the wishes of Puerto Ricans and would not run for another term in 2020 elections. He also said he would resign as head of his New Progressive Party but would remain as governor until the end of his term. In the online chats published on July 13, the center-right governor and his allies referred to politicians, celebrities and ordinary Puerto Ricans in misogynistic, homophobic and vulgar terms.
El Chapo's final journey: Drug kingpin leaves New York City in a police helicopter under armed guard as he heads to Colorado supermax prison where he will serve a life sentence. The Mexican drug kingpin was spotted boarding a chopper at the Wall Street helipad in lower Manhattan at around 3am Friday as a number of heavily-armed guards and more than a dozen NYPD squad cars stood watch. According to flight records obtained by @police_frequency in the Telegram, the helicopter transported Guzman to Floyd Bennet Field in Brooklyn, where he was placed on a plane bound for the United States Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence, Colorado.

Iran claims it has arrested 17 CIA spies and will put some of them to death in latest blast at the West after seizing of British tanker. Iran's intelligence ministry declared it had broken up an American spy ring and sentenced several of its members to death, according to state television. 'The identified spies were employed in sensitive and vital private sector centers in the economic, nuclear, infrastructural, military and cyber areas... where they collected classified information,' a spokesman said. An Iranian television documentary (top image) aired on Monday purported to show a CIA officer recruiting an Iranian man in the United Arab Emirates (an official is shown speaking to the program bottom left). Iran has been feuding with the West for weeks over the crumbling nuclear deal and a series of threats to Middle East shipping, which heightened again last week when Tehran's revolutionary guards seized a British tanker (pictured bottom right) in the Straits of Hormuz.
