July 7, 2022: Boris Johnson resigns, Ukraine raises flag on Snake island, Brittney Griner trial, 'America's Stonehenge,’ COVID
1. Scandal-ridden Boris Johnson announced he would quit as British prime minister after he dramatically lost the support of his ministers and most Conservative lawmakers, but said he would stay on until his successor was chosen.
2. Ukrainian forces raised their national flag on a recaptured Black Sea island in a defiant act against Moscow, but Kyiv lost a main international supporter after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he would step down.
3. Russia said that it was difficult to exchange prisoners with the United States and suggested Washington be silent about the fate of Brittney Griner, the U.S. basketball star detained in Russia on drugs charges.
4, A peculiar granite monument that some have dubbed "America's Stonehenge" but a conservative politician condemned as "Satanic" was torn down by authorities in rural Georgia hours after it was heavily damaged in a bombing by vandals.
5. Millions of people in Shanghai queued for a third day of mass COVID-19 testing on Thursday as authorities in several Chinese cities scrambled to stamp out new outbreaks that have rekindled worries about growth in the world's second-largest economy.
