Five stories to know for July 14: Dems budget deal, Biden on Trump's 'Big Lie,' Wildfires, South Africa, Cuba protest

1. President Joe Biden's drive for big new infrastructure investment got a boost when leading Senate Democrats agreed on a $3.5 trillion investment plan they aim to include in a budget resolution to be debated soon.

2. Biden called it a "national imperative" to pass sweeping voting rights legislation that has stalled in Congress, but he did not outline a path to overcome Republican opposition. In a passionate speech in a city considered the nation's birthplace, Biden said "The Big Lie is just that: a big lie," referring to unfounded election fraud claims by Trump and his allies.

3. A brutal heat wave persists in the U.S. West as wildfires continue to rage in Oregon.

4. Crowds looted shops and offices in South Africa, defying government calls to end a week of violence that has killed more than 70 people and wrecked hundreds of businesses.

5. Cuba has restricted access to social media and messaging platforms including Facebook and WhatsApp, global internet monitoring firm NetBlocks said, in the wake of the biggest anti-government protests in decades.
