Donald Trump supporter and influential evangelical leader Franklin Graham has claimed the former president could be too unhealthy to run for election again in 2024.

Mr Graham, one of the former president’s earliest backers, said he “does not eat well” and that his political ambitions could be thwarted by his “health”.

Meanwhile, attorneys for Rudy Giuliani say prosecutors treated him more like a drug kingpin or terrorist than a personal lawyer.

Investigators are examining Mr Giuliani's interactions with Ukrainian figures and whether he violated a federal law that governs lobbying on behalf of foreign countries or entities without registering with the US government.

Representatives for the former New York City mayor, who has not been charged with a crime, have argued that prosecutors "chose to treat a distinguished lawyer as if he was the head of a drug cartel or a terrorist, in order to create maximum prejudicial coverage of both Giuliani, and his most well known client - the former president of the United States".

Biden says unvaccinated ‘may end up paying the price’ as all 50 states report decline for first time
Confirmed cases of Covid-19 have declined in all 50 states for the first time since of the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, President Joe Biden announced on Monday, as the White House prepares to send millions of vaccine doses outside the US within the next six weeks. “There will be advances and setbacks” as more people are vaccinated in the US, Mr Biden said, acknowledging fluctuating rates of infections. More than 43 per cent of the US has received at least one dose of two-shot vaccines Pfizer and Moderna or the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccines.

“We’re really not seeing tangible evidence of this playing out as expected,” the analyst says in a research note. Keirstead concludes that the theme is exaggerated, with a far more modest boost to growth than investors anticipated. “Bottom line, there is no clear evidence of any growth acceleration across the entire software sector, at least in reported financial metrics,” he wrote.

Are you jet set? We flew to Portugal today and this is what you need to know
On board flight BA500 to Lisbon, there was a distinctly celebratory mood in the air. For those lucky – or canny – enough to have bought a ticket on one of the first flights to a "green list" country it was, finally, an escape from lockdown, Chris Whitty and, of course, the British weather. Even the endless form-filling, pre-flight Covid tests and a 4am car journey to the airport couldn't take the edge off the sheer joy of taking to the sky for the first time in more than a year. The merest whiff of aviation fuel on arrival at Heathrow had been enough to set the pulse racing, never mind the thrill of being told to put liquids and gels in a plastic bag. Face masks aside, this felt every bit like the milestone we have all craved – a return to near-normality that had been little more than a pipe dream only a matter of weeks ago. "I feel so much more excited than I would normally be about flying abroad," said student Tiggy Duchesne, 21, flying to Portugal with her boyfriend Henry Collins, a property surveyor. "It's partly because of everyone else's reactions. People are saying: 'What? You're actually going abroad on holiday?' – there's a bit of jealousy there. "We booked it a couple of months ago on the off chance that we would be able to come, and we can't wait to get there. It's unbelievable even to be on a plane, really."

AP Exclusive: Full-blown boycott pushed for Beijing Olympics
Groups alleging human-rights abuses against minorities in China are calling for a full-blown boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, a move likely to ratchet up pressure on the International Olympic Committee, athletes, sponsors and sports federations. A coalition representing Uyghurs, Tibetans, residents of Hong Kong and others issued a statement Monday calling for the boycott, eschewing lesser measures that had been floated like “diplomatic boycotts" and further negotiations with the IOC or China. “The time for talking with the IOC is over,” Lhadon Tethong of the Tibet Action Institute said in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press.

Giuliani lawyers attack prosecutors, searches in Ukraine probe
Lawyers for Rudy Giuliani attacked federal prosecutors for their recent raids of his home and office, as they probe the former New York City mayor's business dealings in Ukraine at a time he was serving as then-U.S. President Donald Trump's lawyer. In a letter made public on Monday, Giuliani's lawyers objected to the "sweeping nature" of the April 28 searches and the legitimacy of a November 2019 search of his iCloud account, and want to see prosecutors' basis for obtaining warrants underlying those searches. They also said prosecutors claimed to secretly obtain the iCloud warrant on concern Giuliani might destroy evidence or intimidate witnesses, an accusation that "strains credulity" and was "extremely damaging" to Giuliani's reputation.
