With just three months to go before the 2024 US election, thousands are set to gather in Chicago this week for the Democratic National Convention.

The Democratic Party has already officially nominated Vice-President Kamala Harris in a virtual roll call after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race.

Dozens of prominent Democrats and celebrities will be taking the stage in Chicago, including former President and First Lady Barack and Michelle Obama, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Rumours have swirled about whether Beyoncé and Taylor Swift will attend this year, but neither has actually confirmed they will be there.

Eighteen people have been injured after explosive devices went off in central Damascus, Syrian media says, reportedly near the hotel where French President Emmanuel Macron had been staying.

State news agency Sana said two devices had been detected by security forces, which exploded as specialised units began the process to defuse them.

One device was placed inside a parked vehicle, while the other was concealed in a bin, the agency said.

Macron has been in the capital for talks with his Syrian counterpart Ahmed al-Sharaa at the presidential palace. His officials said he was safe and did not hear the explosions.
