July 12, 2022: Capitol riot probe, Shinzo Abe, Ukraine-Russia war, Mexico president, Sri Lanka crisis
1. Congressional investigators into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol will seek to draw connections between then-President Donald Trump's associates and right-wing militants who stormed the seat of government.
2. With prayers, flowers and flags draped in black ribbons, Japan said farewell to Shinzo Abe, a polarising figure who dominated politics as the country's longest-serving premier, before being gunned down at a campaign rally last week.
3. Ukraine said it had carried out a long-range rocket strike against Russian forces and military equipment in southern Ukraine, territory it says it is planning to retake in a counter-offensive using hundreds of thousands of troops.
4. Mexico's leader will visit the White House, a month after snubbing an invitation to a U.S-hosted summit that sought to craft regional consensus on how to stem migrant border crossings that are piling pressure on the Biden administration.
5. Sri Lankan immigration officials stopped the president's brother and former finance minister Basil Rajapaksa from flying out of the country, as anger mounted over the island's worst economic crisis in decades.
