Here's a roundup of news trending across the nation and world today.
What to know now:
1. Clinton stumbles at ceremony: Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton stumbled and appeared to go limp as she left a 9/11 anniversary remembrance ceremony in New York City Sunday. Clinton stumbled as she attempted to get into a van and had to be held up by three people. According to her campaign, she was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday and on Sunday became overheated during the ceremony. A short time after the incident, she emerged from her daughter Chelsea's apartment in Manhattan and waved to the crowd there, saying she was OK.
2. Not standing for the anthem: Fans are criticizing four players for the Miami Dolphins who chose to kneel during the playing of the National Anthem Sunday. Some say that the decision by linebacker Jelani Jenkins, wide receiver Kenny Stills, running back Arian Foster and safety Michael Thomas was a particularly poor one in light of Sunday's anniversary of the terror attacks in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters raised a fist during the anthem Sunday, as did New England Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett and safety Devin McCourty prior to their game. The moves have come in the wake of San Francisco 49er's quarterback Colin Kaepernick's protest of the playing of the anthem.
3. Explaining the 'basket': Hillary Clinton on Saturday backtracked comments she made at a fundraiser Friday saying that at least half of Donald Trump's supporters could be lumped into "the basket of deplorables." Clinton said the "basket" contained people who are "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it." Clinton partially walked back the remarks on Saturday after they became public, saying, " Last night I was 'grossly generalistic,' and that's never a good idea. I regret saying 'half' -- that was wrong."
4. Dancing with the Stars: Ryan Lochte, along with former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Amber Rose and Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady from "The Brady Bunch") are among the cast of the next season of "Dancing With the Stars." The latest installment of the dancing competition is set to begin Monday at 8 p.m. ET. Also set to put their dancing shoes on is Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, Marilu Henner and Vanilla Ice.
5. Arquette dies: Alexis Arquette, a transgender actress and sibling of David Arquette and Patricia Arquette, died Sunday. Arquette, who had roles in "Pulp Fiction," "Bride of Chucky," and who starred as a Boy George impersonator in "The Wedding Singer," was 47. Arquette had surgery to transition to a woman in 2006. No cause of death was released.
And one more
Savvy Shields, Miss Arkansas, was named Miss America Sunday night. Shields bested 51 other contestants in the annual pageant, where she performed a jazz dance. Shields was asked a question about Hillary Clinton during a portion of the competition and replied, "If you're trying to be leader of the free world, everything you say and do matters and all of your actions are held to a higher standard. Both of the contestants have done a good job, but they also need to watch what they're doing."
