— -- Your look at the five biggest and most buzz-worthy stories of the morning.

1. Manhunt Shifts to Area West of Prison

Search crews increased their presence Sunday in Franklin County, northern New York, in the hunt for escaped convicts Richard Matt and David Sweat, ABC News has learned.

Authorities are investigating whether the inmates stayed at a hunting camp following their escape from Clinton Correctional Facility on June 6, after a person was seen fleeing from the camp, a law enforcement source close to the investigation told ABC News.

A business owner in Mountain View – a hamlet in Bellmont, Franklin County, west of Dannemora where the men escaped – told ABC News that roadblocks were set up and police had been in the area.

2. Taliban Suicide Bomber, Gunmen Attack Afghan Parliament

The Taliban launched a complex attack on the Afghan parliament Monday, with a suicide car bomber striking at the entrance and gunmen battling police as lawmakers were meeting inside to confirm the appointment of a defense minister, police and witnesses said.

Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said the attack began with a car bomb explosion near the entrance. Gunmen then attempted to storm the compound but were pushed back by security forces and eventually took refuge in a nearby building under construction, he said.

3. Former White House Chef Walter Scheib's Body Found in New Mexico

Authorities have found the body of missing former White House chef Walter Scheib a few miles from the hiking trail where his car was last seen, New Mexico State Police confirmed.

Scheib, 61, was last seen on June 13 heading to hike a trail in the Taos Ski Valley 10 miles outside of Taos, New Mexico.

State police and volunteers had been searching for Scheib since Wednesday, after a family member reported him missing and his car was discovered at the trailhead.

4. Emanuel AME Church in Charleston Holds 1st Service Since Shooting

Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina Sunday held its first service since nine people were killed during a Bible study at the church.

The emotional service was filled with 800 people inside, including those downstairs in the room where the shooting happened. Hundreds more stayed outside the church -- clapping, praying and singing along as audio came out from speakers outside.

“Many of our hearts are broken,” said Elder Norvil Goff. “Many of us are still shedding tears, but I know a man who can answer all of our questions. But you and I must bring our burdens to the Lord and leave them there.”

5. Taylor Swift Has Apple Changing Its Tune

Taylor Swift has Apple changing its tune.

Hours after the pop superstar criticized the giant tech company in an open letter posted online, Apple announced Sunday that it will pay royalties to artists and record labels for music played during a free, three-month trial of its new streaming music service.

"When I woke up this morning and I saw Taylor's note that she had written, it really solidified that we needed to make a change," said Apple senior vice president Eddy Cue in an interview with The Associated Press.
