CBS2 This Morning hears from one local man who lost his father in the 9/11 terror attacks, as he and his daughter make their way to a protest against the tournament in Bedminster.

Families of 9/11 victims have been protesting the tournament because of LIV Golf's ties to Saudi Arabia, CBS2's John Dias reports.

Monkeypox cases have spread rapidly in a matter of weeks across dozens of countries, including the U.S.

The chief of the World Health Organization said the expanding monkeypox outbreak in more than 70 countries is an “extraordinary” situation that now qualifies as a global emergency, a declaration Saturday that could spur further investment in treating the once-rare disease and worsen the scramble for scarce vaccines.

Here's the latest updates on the monkeypox outbreak in the U.S.

The monkeypox outbreak has been declared a public health emergency of international concern by the World Health Organization.
