This handout photo taken on July 25, 2024 and released courtesy of the Akita Prefecture River Sabo Division to AFP on July 26, shows flooding along the Ishizawa river, whose embankment collapsed due to heavy rains, in Yurihonjo, Akita prefecture. At least three people were missing in Japan on July 26, after heavy rains caused rivers to burst their banks, washing away cars and prompting several thousand locals to evacuate, authorities and media reports said. Local governments in the northern prefectures of Yamagata and Akita issued evacuation advisories to more than 200,000 people, the fire and disaster management agency said.

(FILES) (COMBO) This combination of pictures created on July 22, 2024 shows US Vice President Kamala Harris arriving for an event honoring National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championship teams from the 2023-2024 season, on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, DC on July 22, 2024 and former US President and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump standing on stage after accepting his party's nomination on the last day of the 2024 Republican National Convention at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on July 18, 2024. Republican White House candidate Donald Trump rejected scheduling a debate with his presumptive Democratic challenger Kamala Harris because she has not been officially named her party's nominee, his campaign said on July 25, 2024. "General election debate details cannot be finalized until Democrats formally decide on their nominee ... it would be inappropriate to schedule things with Harris because Democrats very well could still change their minds," Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement.
