César Luis Menotti, the charismatic coach who led Argentina to its first World Cup title in 1978, has died at age 85. The Argentine Football Association announced his passing in a statement Sunday, but did not give a cause of death. Passion for soccer and a sharp ability to explain its mechanics were Menotti’s hallmark characteristics as a trainer, and he was considered one of the most emblematic and influential coaches in Argentine soccer.

Students protesting the war in Gaza left their camp at the University of Southern California without major incident after they were surrounded by police and threatened with arrest. In Boston, Northeastern University's commencement ended peacefully at Fenway Park on Sunday. Many were watching developments closely at both campuses. Police last month arrested more than 90 people when they first broke up a pro-Palestinian encampment at USC, while police in Boston arrested about 100 protesters at a similar camp at Northeastern. The Associated Press has tallied about 2,500 arrests at about 50 campuses since April 18, based on its reporting and statements from universities and law enforcement.

José Raúl Mulino, the stand-in candidate for disqualified ex-President Ricardo Martinelli, is on a path to victory in Panama's presidential election as his three closest rivals concede. The 64-year-old former security minister had nearly 35% of the vote Sunday night, giving him a nine-point lead over other candidates. He was in line to take over leadership of a Central American country with pressing challenges and simmering discontent. The firebrand Martinelli was barred from running after being sentenced to 10 years in prison for money laundering. He threw his support behind Mulino, a 64-year-old former security minister who replaced him on the ballot as the candidate for the Achieving Goals and Alliance parties.

Hamas says the latest round of Gaza cease-fire talks has ended in Cairo. After recent signs of progress, the outlook appears to dim as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to resist international pressure to halt the war. But Israeli media reports that CIA chief William Burns, a main mediator in the talks, will meet with Netanyahu on Monday. Israel has closed its main crossing point for delivering badly needed humanitarian aid for Gaza after Hamas militants attacked it and killed three soldiers. The defense minister warns of “a powerful operation in the very near future in Rafah and other places across all of Gaza.”
