Here’s what else you need to know to Get Up to Speed and On with Your Day. The FBI is investigating an apparent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at his Florida golf club on Sunday. Trump is safe and was not harmed in the incident, his campaign said. It comes just two months after Trump survived an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania. Law enforcement sources on Sunday identified the person detained as a 58-year-old owner of a small construction company in Hawaii who frequently criticized Trump on social media. The man was detained shortly after the Secret Service spotted a rifle barrel sticking through the fence of the golf course and agents fired at a man who was in the bushes along the perimeter. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris issued statements condemning political violence, adding that they will ensure that the Secret Service has all the resources necessary to protect the former president. The Primetime Emmy Awards, which honor the best in American television, were handed out Sunday in Los Angeles. It was a huge night for the historical epic “Shōgun,” which became the first ever non-English language series to win best drama, along with wins for lead actor, actress and directing. The comedy category saw big wins for the FX hit “The Bear,” including for star Jeremy Allen White. But it was “Hacks” — a women-led series about an aging stand-up and a young comedy writer — that took the outstanding comedy series prize. The Netflix show “Baby Reindeer” won the Emmy for outstanding limited series, anthology or TV movie. The show’s creator Richard Gadd won writing and acting Emmys, and supporting actress Jessica Gunning also took home a statuette for her performance. Here’s a list of all the winners. Some of the heaviest rain in decades hit parts of central and eastern Europe over the weekend, causing flooding and widespread disruptions. A low pressure system dubbed Storm Boris dumped months’ worth of rain onto several of Europe’s historic capitals, including Vienna, Bratislava and Prague. Red alerts, the highest-level warning, are still in effect for portions of Poland, Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria and Slovakia. At least eight people have died, authorities said. Meanwhile, Shanghai was brought to a standstill today by what China says is the city’s strongest storm in seven decades. Typhoon Bebinca made landfall in a suburb southeast of the metropolis with wind speeds of 80 mph, the equivalent of a Category 1 Atlantic hurricane. The Israeli military says that three Israeli hostages whose bodies were recovered from Gaza in December were “most likely” killed as a result of an Israeli airstrike. Recovering the hostages captured by Hamas on October 7 is one of the main goals of Israel’s campaign in Gaza as pressure builds to end the humanitarian crisis in the region. US officials are trying to get both sides to agree to a deal first laid out by President Biden in May. The three-phase proposal pairs the release of hostages with a “full and complete ceasefire.” Since then talks have stalled and both sides have pointed to what they see as glaring holes in the framework, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisting that Israel’s forces will never leave the stretch along the Egypt-Gaza border known as the Philadelphi Corridor. SpaceX’s Polaris Dawn all-civilian crew returned to Earth Sunday after a five-day mission to orbit that included the world’s first commercial spacewalk. The Crew Dragon capsule splashed down off the coast of Florida at 3:37 a.m. ET, concluding the high-risk event. The Polaris Dawn mission made history as it reached a higher altitude than any human has traveled in five decades. A spacewalk conducted on Thursday also marked the first time such an endeavor has been completed by a privately funded and operated mission. The crew’s apogee — or farthest point from Earth — made two crew members the first women ever to fly so far from our planet.

Top Trump Cabinet secretaries and national security officials are holding meetings this week to discuss the administration’s next steps on Ukraine – including the prospect of suspending military aid – following the spectacular collapse of Friday’s Oval Office meeting between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky.
