Photograph: Pool/Getty Images Edward Helmore New York bombing: police name suspect New York police have released the name and picture of a man they want to talk to in connection with an explosion in New York on Saturday night: 28-year-old Ahmad Khan Rahami. Separately, and after another explosion in Elizabeth, New Jersey, New York governor Andrew Cuomo said "evidence might suggest a foreign connection" to the bombings. Overnight, one device detonated and four others were found in a backpack outside a station in New Jersey. The device exploded at 12.30am as a bomb squad was attempting to disarm it. Earlier, investigators said the FBI had obtained surveillance footage of a man with backpack near where devices were placed in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan on Saturday. On Sunday night, FBI agents in Brooklyn stopped "a vehicle of interest in the investigation", according to a spokeswoman. The agency said the Manhattan device contained the residue of Tannerite, an explosive often used for target practice. Cuomo says 'possible foreign connection' to Manhattan blast – live updates Half of all US guns owned by just 3% of owners Americans own an estimated 265m firearms but 130m belong to just 3% of US adults – super-owners who have an average of 17 guns each. The summary of a Harvard/Northeastern survey, obtained exclusively by the Guardian and the Trace, estimates that America's gun stock increased by 70m since 1994, while the percentage of Americans who own guns fells from 25% to 22%. The study also found that the proportion of female gun owners is increasing. "There's a disconnect between that and the decreasing rates of lethal violence in this country. It isn't a response to actuarial reality," said Matthew Miller, a Northeastern University and Harvard School of Public Health professor and one of the authors of the study. Half of all guns in the US are owned by 3% of Americans, data shows Minnesota Somali leaders condemn stabbing The Somali American community in St Cloud, Minnesota, condemned a mass stabbing attack at a mall over the weekend. Police had not yet named the suspect, who wounded nine people at the Crossroads Center mall before being shot dead by an off-duty police officer in an attack that is being investigated as a "potential act of terrorism". The suspect is believed to have been student Dahir Adan, whose father identified him to a local newspaper. An Islamic State-run news agency claimed the man was a "soldier of the Islamic State". None of the nine injured people suffered life-threatening injuries. Minnesota Somali leaders condemn stabbing Why are millions of trees dying across America? A quiet crisis is playing out in US forests, as huge numbers of trees succumb to drought, disease, insects and wildfire – much of it driven by climate change. "It's heartbreaking," said JB Friday, a forest ecologist at the University of Hawaii. "This is the biggest threat to our native forests that any of us have seen. If this spreads across the whole island, it could collapse the whole native ecosystem." Lisa Keith, researcher in plant pathology at the US Department of Agriculture, said that when she analyzed the problem "right away Dutch elm disease popped into my head". But this was unlike anything she, or anyone else, had ever dealt with. An American tragedy: why are millions of trees dying across the country? Prison abuse survivor jailed again – as a witness Brandy Buckmaster, a witness ordered incarcerated by public prosecutor until trial, has spoken exclusively to the Guardian. The only reason the 41-year-old woman is locked up is because she is a "material witness" in the state's case against Brian Balzer, a guard who she says sexually abused her behind bars, and prosecutors are afraid she won't show up to testify. Buckmaster has therefore been confined for more than a month to a correctional institution much like the site of her past sexual trauma. Balzer, meanwhile, is out on bail. "I feel like I'm being punished for what he did to me," she said in a recent jailhouse interview, tears streaming down her face. "I get traumatized every day." 'Traumatized every day': prison abuse survivor jailed again – as a witness Obama speaks out on race and sexism in election Barack Obama said on Saturday night he will take it as a "personal insult" if the African American community fails to turn out and vote in the presidential election. "I will consider it a personal insult, an insult to my legacy, if this community lets down its guard and fails to activate itself in this election," Obama said. "You want to give me a good send-off, go vote." He also warned about bias against powerful women. "There's a reason why we haven't had a woman president," Obama said at the fundraiser for Hillary Clinton. "We as a society still grapple with what it means to see powerful women and it still troubles us in a lot of ways, unfairly." On Saturday, Michelle Obama campaigned for Clinton.

The players were following the lead of the San Francisco 49ers' Colin Kaepernick, the first NFL player to sit out the Star-Spangled Banner in protest at racial inequality in the US.

The refugees were approved for resettlement by US officials before being blocked by Turkish authorities, a move that will further complicate a much-hyped United Nations summit on resettlement that gets underway in New York today. Countries such as Turkey, which hosts more refugees than any other, are keen for western partners to share the burden but are unwilling to let countries like the US cherry-pick the most educated refugees. "We believe that the most vulnerable need to be helped before others," a senior Turkish official told the Guardian.
