WIMBLEDON, England — Former Grand Slam champions Naomi Osaka, Caroline Wozniacki, Angelique Kerber and Emma Raducanu have all been awarded wild cards for Wimbledon. The grass-court tournament starts on July 1. Osaka — a four-time major champion and former No. 1 player — and three-time Grand Slam winner Kerber returned from maternity leave at the start of this season. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Currently ranked 113th, Osaka was the only player to take a set from top-ranked Iga Swiatek at the French Open and followed that up with a quarterfinal spot last week in ’s-Hertogenbosch, a warm-up event for Wimbledon.

Lines of corn tortilla chips and tortillas flow with systematic purpose at Raquelitas Tortillas factory in Denver’s River North Art District. Once the chips have been fried and seasoned, a conveyor belt delivers them into a chute, where 6 lbs are automatically weighed out and dropped into a pink and green Raquelitas box, ready to be shipped out to one of 1,800 wholesale customers.

By FOSTER KLUG and KIM TONG-HYUNG (Associated Press) SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Don’t believe the name: The Demilitarized Zone between the two rival Koreas might be the most heavily armed place on earth. Two million mines, barbed wire fences, tank traps and tens of thousands of troops from both countries patrol a divided swath of land 248 kilometers (154 miles) long and 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) wide. So how, on the eve of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s summit Wednesday with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, did as many as 30 North Korean soldiers wander over the line separating North from South, causing South Korea to fire warning shots before the North Koreans withdrew?
