From the Washington Post's KYLE SWENSON: "Their faces hidden behind black bandannas and hoodies, about a 100 anarchists and antifa — “anti-fascist” — barreled into a protest Sunday afternoon in Berkeley’s Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park."
"Jumping over plastic and concrete barriers, the group melted into a larger crowd of around 2,000 that had marched peacefully throughout the sunny afternoon for a “Rally Against Hate” gathering."
"Shortly after, violence began to flare. A pepper-spray wielding Trump supporter was smacked to the ground with homemade shields. Another was attacked by five black-clad antifas, each windmilling kicks and punches into a man desperately trying to protect himself. A conservative group leader retreated for safety behind a line of riot police as marchers chucked water bottles, shot off pepper spray and screamed “fascist go home!”
Meanwhile, police said they identified 13 people who arrested during the violence at the Berkeley rally.
From the Chronicle's DEMIAN BULWA: "Berkeley police have identified 13 people who were arrested Sunday amid violence at Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park, where those who showed up for a loosely organized right-wing rally were driven out — and at times beaten — by a mob of masked anarchists."
"Police reported that six people, including an officer, were injured, and that two of them were taken to hospitals. Many of the people arrested were jailed."

Southern California to be under the broiler this week; heat wave could set records
Daily News' ALICIA ROBINSON: "As Southern Californians wrap up their summer vacations, the summer heat is making a return, with potential for some record-breaking temperatures in Southern California on Monday and Tuesday."
"In the Inland Empire, Riverside’s high on Monday could surpass the record of 108 that has stood since 1981, while Lake Elsinore could come close to its records of 110 on Monday and 111 on Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service. Temperatures near or over 110 degrees are in the forecast at least through Wednesday for the Inland valleys."
"In the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys, triple-digit highs are predicted starting Monday and possibly lasting until the weekend, while the Los Angeles County coast will be in the mid-80s to low 90s to start the week before settling into the 80s through the weekend."
From the UNION-TRIBUNE'S KRISTINA DAVIS: "They are hand-built in homes and shared workshops, using mail-order parts and drilling machines that range from the rudimentary to the complex. They don’t bear the serial numbers of licensed manufacturers. They are untraceable, hence their nickname: “ghost guns.”
"In just the past few years, the advancement and availability of milling and 3-D printing technology has made it easier than ever to build your own guns."
"While not illegal on the face of it, authorities have grown increasingly concerned about the potential for a growing black market that sidesteps state and federal gun laws regulating everything from background checks to banned weapons."
Trump's business sought deal on a Trump Tower in Moscow while he ran for president.
WaPo's CAROL D LEONNIG/TOM HAMBURGER/ROSALIND S HELDERMAN: "While Donald Trump was running for president in late 2015 and early 2016, his company was pursuing a plan to develop a massive Trump Tower in Moscow, according to several people familiar with the proposal and new records reviewed by Trump Organization lawyers."
"As part of the discussions, a Russian-born real estate developer urged Trump to come to Moscow to tout the proposal and suggested that he could get President Vladimir Putin to say "great things" about Trump, according to several people who have been briefed on his correspondence."
