In the West, the monuments to Soviet soldiers are increasingly becoming a bargaining chip. Klaipeda city council decided to dismantle the warriors' memorial in Sculpture Park.

A 54-year-old woman collapsed and died Monday while hiking at Colorado National Monument, officials said, as the region experiences a heat wave.

City leaders say the temporary memorial will remain in place until a permanent one can be built, but they want that to happen sooner rather than later.
