TODAY IN 10

Our first playboy president?: Before becoming the presumptive nominee of a major political party, Donald Trump was publicly debating the importance of oral sex with Howard Stern. The billionaire cultivated his image as a Manhattan playboy who had so many women that he barely had time to sleep. That reputation was useful when Trump was building a brand designed to equate his name with the high life. But it could be problematic as he tries to fashion a more dignified persona — as a potential commander-in-chief and leader of the free world. Full story

Trump is running to the left of Clinton: For weeks, Donald Trump has openly praised democratic socialist Bernie Sanders, crediting the senator from Vermont for raising questions about the former secretary of state’s judgment on campaign finance, trade and foreign policy. Full story

They wonder how the man Human Rights Watch dubbed &#8220;the death squad mayor&#8221; will handle domestic and international policy and are concerned about the return of strongman politics. One of the biggest unknowns is his China policy. Full story

The North Carolina ‘bathroom bill’ saga continues to escalate: The Justice Department filed a lawsuit Monday against North Carolina authorities, hours after the state filed a lawsuit challenging the agency’s attempt to convince authorities not to enforce the so-called “bathroom bill.” These dueling lawsuits marked a sharp escalation in the fight between the two sides over a law specifying who can use which bathrooms in North Carolina, a measure that has thrust the state into the epicenter of the debate over transgender rights.

Women in India face extreme odds in male-dominated society: Patriarchal prejudices ingrained for centuries in India have been tough to shake loose despite a growing clamor for change — and continue to affect life from the village water pump to the judicial system and beyond. And five years after the Supreme Court said male-dominated village councils should be illegal, the central government and some states are only beginning to pass or contemplate laws that would limit their behavior.
