Apple said Sunday it is providing financial and technical assistance to the Malala Fund with CEO Tim Cook joining the organization's leadership council.
Why it matters: The support should allow the Malala Fund to expand its efforts to India and Latin America with an initial goal of helping more than 100,000 girls expand their education beyond primary school.

Democrats from across the party — including some of the women on Joe Biden's vice-presidential shortlist — are championing his historic appointment of Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate.
What they're saying: "I warmly congratulate Senator Kamala Harris on her selection as Joe Biden’s Vice Presidential running mate," said former UN Ambassador Susan Rice, whom several sources said was in the top two. Senator Harris is a tenacious and trailblazing leader who will make a great partner on the campaign trail."

The Big Ten and Pac-12 announced Tuesday that they've voted to postpone their 2020 fall sports seasons, including football, due to risks posed by the coronavirus pandemic, hoping instead to play in the spring.
