Donald Trump heads to Mexico Republican presidential nominee to meet Mexican president; Isis leader confirmed killed; Apple's clash with EU heats up; Clinton faces Honduran problem; and the new British prime minister discusses Brexit Donald Trump campaigns in Washington state. Photograph: Matt Mills McKnight/Getty Images Edward Helmore Trump to visit Mexican president ahead of immigration speech Donald Trump is heading to Mexico today for a meeting with president Enrique Peña Nieto, before making a long-awaited speech clarifying his position on immigration in Arizona tonight. Trump, who once linked immigrants from Mexico to "rapists" and has vowed to build a wall on the US's southern border , confirmed the meeting in a tweet. Nieto said he had invited Trump, despite having previously compared him to Hitler and vowed to resist paying for Trump's wall. "I believe in dialogue to promote the interests of Mexico in the world and to protect Mexicans wherever they are," he said. Trump will reportedly be accompanied on the trip by former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani and Alabama senator Jeff Sessions. Here Ben Jacobs looks at what to expect from Trump's speech in Arizona as he tries to balance hardline rhetoric with an appeal to Latino voters. The Republican nominee has begun what he called a rhetorical "softening" on the question of deporting illegal immigrants in recent weeks, raising questions about whether he was ever sincere in his hardline stance. Trump confirms trip to Mexico for talks with President Peña Nieto Isis leader confirmed killed The Islamic State news agency reports that spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani was killed "surveying operations" in Aleppo. Adnani was one of Islamic State's longest-serving and most prominent leaders and his loss is considered a significant blow to the terror group. Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook said coalition forces had conducted an airstrike in the town of al-Bab in Aleppo province on Tuesday targeting Adnani, but did not say whether he had been killed. Very few members of the original leadership remain alive. Key Isis leader killed in Syria, jihadi group says Apple's EU tax battle escalates As Apple vows to resist an EU fine (including penalties) of around $14.5bn over its "sweetheart" tax arrangements with the Irish government, the reaction in Silicon Valley is one of shock and disappointment. "The EU is trying to change the rules of the game retroactively. It makes little sense to me," said Om Malik of the San Francisco venture capital firm True Ventures. "These companies have been complying with the Irish rules. Now a lot of them will have to re-evaluate their relationships with Europe." Silicon Valley outraged by Apple tax bill: 'Europe is changing rules retroactively' Hillary Clinton's Honduran problem While secretary of state, the Democratic presidential nominee supported new elections in Honduras following a 2009 coup, rather than the return of the sitting president Manuel Zelaya, viewed by some as a leftist troublemaker. What followed was a sell-off of mining and hydroelectric concessions that have arguably contributed to the poverty and disenfranchisement behind Honduras' current political instability, and Clinton's current White House run has brought a new focus on the events of seven years ago as the consequences continue to reverberate. Hillary Clinton's response to Honduras crisis draws scrutiny amid violence UK Brexit talks The new British prime minister, Theresa May, is meeting with her ministers for the first time since the summer break to discuss exactly how the UK will leave the European Union. She has already ruled out "attempts to stay in the EU by the back door" and the prospect of a second referendum on Brexit. No staying in the EU by the back door, says Theresa May Trump TV – a presidential consolation prize? According to popular theory in media circles, Donald Trump has given up on winning the presidential race and is now simply priming the pump for a forthcoming media venture for the "alt-right" demographic. The idea has popped up in the New Yorker and Vanity Fair, which reported that Trump is looking to "monetize" his audience through a possible "mini-media" conglomerate. Trump TV: is his campaign laying the groundwork for the next media empire? Brazil gears up for Dilma Rousseff impeachment The Brazilian senate is expected to vote today to oust Dilma Rousseff from the presidency and confirm interim president Michel Temer as the country's leader. Here we offer a guide to the crisis. How bad is it? "On a scale of one to 10, it has felt to many Brazilians like an 11," writes Jonathan Watts. "An ongoing crackdown on bribery and graft has effectively paralyzed the government because bribes were essential for building coalitions." Dilma Rousseff impeachment: what you need to know – the Guardian briefing US Open kicks off - with an expletive-filled rant If the Guardian's Bryan Armen Graham was expecting a relaxing afternoon of opening-round tennis at Flushing Meadows he didn't get one when Australia's Bernard Tomic lashed out at spectators after going down two sets on his way to a 6-4, 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 loss to Bosnia and Herzegovina's Damir Dzumhur. "Suck my balls," the 23-year-old Australian chirped. "I will put my balls in your mouth." After Džumhur missed on his first serve, Tomic continued: "I will give you some money to make you feel good." Bernard Tomic delivers foul-mouthed insult to spectator at US Open In case you missed it ... French prime minister Manuel Valls has confirmed that he considers naked breasts represent France better than a headscarf. Referring to Marianne, a national symbol of the French Republic, but perhaps thinking of Eugène Delacroix's 1830 painting Liberty Leading the People, Valls said: "Marianne has a naked breast because she is feeding the people! She is not veiled, because she is free! That is the republic!" Mathilde Larrere, a historian of the French revolution, tweeted: "Marianne has a naked breast because it's an allegory, you cretin!"
