This is AP News Minute.

President Donald Trump¹ moves forward with plans to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, despite strong Arab, Muslim and European opposition² to such a move. That would revert³ decades of U.S. policy and could spark violent protests.

Trump formally endorsed⁴ Alabama's Roy Moore for Senate, while Republican leaders in Washington are coming to grips with the possibility of Moore joining them in the capital. The president saying, "I think he's going to do very well. We don't want to have a liberal democrat⁵ in Alabama."

Democratic representative John Conyers has resigned from Congress after being besieged⁶ by allegations he sexually harassed⁷ women who worked for him. The liberal democrat from Detroit was the longest-serving current member of Congress, with nearly fifty three years on Capitol Hill.

The wildfires raging in southern California are being fanned by Santa Ana winds, the notoriously gusty⁸ and withering⁹ blasts linked to some of the worst infernos¹⁰ in the region's history. Forecasters said it would likely be the strongest and longest Santa Ana wind so far this season, with gusts¹¹ up to eighty miles per hour.

I'm Julian Stiles, with AP News Minute.
