0:18
Teenager say they're not the only
0:20

0:26
send their employees to etiquette training those
0:29
stories. And even more news? Dunno in
0:31
today's episode. Welcome.
0:34
Welcome to the news worthy of
0:36
the day's news in around ten
0:38
minutes! Fast, fair, fun and on
0:40
the go America Mandy, thanks so
0:42
much for being here. You're ready.
0:44
Let's do that. Both
0:49
President Biden and former President Trump have
0:51
not cross the delegate threshold needed to
0:53
become their party's nominees. They both to
0:55
com decisive victories in a handful of
0:58
states. Yesterday. Of. Course, there was never
1:00
in doubt since neither Biden nor Trump face
1:02
any major opposition at this point. Still,
1:04
This is a milestone for both candidates
1:06
not even halfway through the presidential primary
1:08
calendar. This. Also means this will
1:10
now be one of the longest general
1:13
election campaigns in modern history. By.
1:15
Didn't celebrate the when last night by saying
1:17
quote. I am honored that the broad coalition
1:19
of voters representing the rich diversity of the
1:21
Democratic party across the country have put their
1:23
faith in me once again in a moment
1:25
when the threat Trump poses is greater than
1:27
ever. And Trump posted a video on
1:29
social media saying it was quote a great
1:31
day of victory. He. Also criticized by the
1:34
same quote. Now we have to get back to work
1:36
because we have the worst president in the history of
1:38
our country. Expect to hear a lot more
1:40
from both of them over the next eight months
1:42
leading up to the November fifth election. For
1:46
this. Week Lawmakers grilled the former
1:49
special counsel who investigated President
1:51
Bidens classified documents case. Robert.
1:53
Her appeared on Capitol Hill to answer questions
1:55
about his report that came out last month.
1:58
It. Was the one where he said there wasn't and. The
2:00
evidence to charge biting with a crime. And.
2:02
Yesterday, both Democrats and Republicans accuse him
2:04
of being partisan. Republicans said he came
2:06
to pressure in not recommending any
2:08
charges. They say there was a double
2:11
standard since a different special counsel did
2:13
recommend charges against former President Trump
2:15
over his handling of classified ducks. On.
2:18
The other side, though democrats argued
2:20
her included gratuitous language about the
2:22
President's mental capacity to score political
2:24
points specifically when her decide biden
2:26
as a quotes sympathetic, well meaning
2:28
elderly man with a poor memory.
2:31
They pointed out that her is a
2:33
registered republican and accuse him of trying
2:35
to get former President Trump reelected, but
2:37
her insisted he had quote no such
2:39
aspirations and kept defending the integrity of
2:41
his reports. Congress. Also released a
2:44
transcript of the Special Counsel's interviews with President
2:46
Biden so people can see exactly how he
2:48
responded to the questioning. The
2:53
first time since the war started in Gaza,
2:55
a shipment of aid has been sent by
2:57
See. Its. Carrying two hundred tons of
2:59
food collected by the nonprofit World Central
3:01
Kitchen. Of course, it's still not enough
3:03
to set off a salmon in Gaza, but
3:05
the European Commission president says it's a side
3:07
of hope. Many. More ships are set to
3:09
take the same journey in the coming days and weeks.
3:12
The Remember The U S You and other
3:14
allies announced the new maritime route last week
3:16
and his first shipment is set to arrive
3:19
tomorrow. Separately. American troops are
3:21
working on a floating peer on the
3:23
coast of Gaza that could deliver another
3:25
two million meals a day. Though.
3:27
That construction is expected to take
3:29
weeks. It's. All crucial that since
3:31
sadly more than two million Palestinians are facing
3:33
a threat a survey says and there have
3:36
been an increasing number of reports of malnutrition
3:38
related deaths in the Gaza Strip. The.
3:40
Us has also said much more aid it would
3:42
be able to flow into Gaza if Israel and
3:44
Hamas to come to terms on a temporary ceasefire
3:47
agreement. But. For now, negotiations or.
3:49
Stalled. The
3:52
and administration announced sending three hundred million
3:55
dollars worth of weapons to Ukraine. It's
3:57
the first American aid package since the
3:59
previous funding. Ran out and Ukrainian
4:01
troops started rationing supplies. Congress.
4:04
Still has not approved any new aid,
4:06
but Us. Army accountants were able to
4:08
make this happen by using money saved
4:10
from other contracts that came in underbid.
4:12
Still, The New York Times sites Us officials
4:14
who say this is just a temporary solution
4:16
that will only keep Russian troops at bay
4:19
for a few more weeks. So. The
4:21
White House so urging lawmakers to pass a
4:23
new ukraine a bill as soon as possible.
4:25
Remember. At the senate did possible already That
4:27
includes money for Ukraine, Israel, and more. The
4:29
house leaders have not put it up for
4:32
a vote. Yes, Some. House democrats and
4:34
moderate republicans as started gathering signatures as a way
4:36
to force a vote, though it's still not clear
4:38
if they'll the able to do that. The.
4:40
To be continuous. The
4:44
Us now has a huge lead on both
4:46
Russia and Saudi Arabia as the world's largest
4:48
oil producer and not need is growing. This.
4:51
With Us Energy Information Administration predicted
4:53
domestic oil production or rise to
4:55
thirteen point two million barrels a
4:57
day this year. And the he
4:59
i yea says no other country even have
5:01
that much production capacity so they won't be
5:04
catching at any time soon. Backers.
5:06
Of the Us Oil and Gas industry
5:08
see this as a huge economic driver
5:10
that can give America global leverage as
5:12
exports rise. But. Climate Groups just
5:14
say it gives other countries leverage on
5:16
the green energy transition. Either
5:18
way, this is already had an impact
5:20
on prices. Crude oil futures ads lower

6:43
international crew of astronauts has safely returned
6:46
to Earth this week. They spent nearly
6:48
six months aboard the International Space Station
6:50
preparing us for future deep space. Mrs.
6:53
They. Conducted hundreds of experiments, including
6:55
the first study of how humans
6:57
responded different durations of spaceflights. They.
7:00
Also experimented with growing food on the

send people into the cosmos and beyond and

even benefit humanity here on Earth. The. Foreperson
7:13
team returned to Earth. Yesterday in a
7:15
Spacex Dragon spacecraft. Another. Crew is
7:17
already replace these astronauts on the Iss. The
7:22
problems a Boeing are now starting to impact
7:24
major Us airlines. For. Example: United Airlines
7:26
says it's pausing pilot hiring for
7:28
two months and hunting for new
7:30
planes from Boeing rival Airbus. Southwest.
7:33
Airline says it's going to cut flights and
7:35
also cut hiring to save costs because of
7:38
lower than expected delivery of Boeing Jet. And
7:40
Alaska Air says it's plans for the
7:42
year are also influx because of uncertainty
7:45
on Boeing deliveries. Boeing. Has slowed
7:47
down production as it faces increased
7:49
scrutiny from federal regulators and fewer
7:51
planes means less seating capacity and
7:54
higher maintenance costs for airlines. So.
7:56
Airlines agree that bowling needs to make
7:58
changes. This Yes. Boeing announced a
8:01
series of Saps meant to improve quality
8:03
like compliance sex and quality audits at
8:05
the factory. And. The company said it
8:07
will not hesitate to stop or production line or
8:09
keep an airplane in position is needed. Least.
8:11
Steps are in response to an essay
8:13
a audit that came out after in
8:15
Alaska Airlines plane came apart mid air
8:17
adding to bowling struggles. This league when
8:19
of explains was involved in another mid
8:21
air incidents that injured about fifty people
8:23
aboard a fault from Australia to New
8:25
Zealand. The. Plane apparently had a sudden
8:28
drop as if it was taking a nosedive
8:30
before leveling out. Passenger. Say people
8:32
were thrown to the ceiling and down to the floor.
8:34
And the whole thing was described as a technical
8:37
event. It's. Not clear yet exactly
8:39
what caused the problems during not slight
8:41
a bowling says it's ready to cooperate
8:43
with the investigations. We
8:47
know parents and advocates have grown
8:49
more concerned about teenagers smartphone use,
8:51
but what do the teens say?
8:53
Well. The Pew Research Center as to them. And.
8:56
New data says ninety five percent of teenagers
8:58
between thirteen and seventeen years old have or
9:00
at least have access to a smartphone. And.
9:03
Most use the internet every day. But.
9:05
Nearly three quarters of them said they feel happy
9:07
and peaceful when they don't have their smartphones on
9:09
hand. At. The same time, no more
9:12
than a third said being without their
9:14
phones made them feel upset, lonely, and
9:16
anxious. And. Most said, the benefits
9:18
do outweigh the harms. Another. Thing
9:20
teams brought up their parents are
9:22
also wrestling with Texas. About.
9:24
Half of them said their parents at least
9:27
sometimes get distracted by their phones during conversations
9:29
and when you ask. A good portion of
9:31
both parents and children admitted to being on
9:33
their own phones too much. Of.
9:35
Course, these are just some of the complicated
9:37
issues parents and teens or navigating when it
9:39
comes to phones. Lawmakers have also tried to
9:41
get involved. And. There are many proposed
9:44
bills aimed at protecting kids and teens
9:46
online, so for now none are close
9:48
to passing. Disneyland
9:51
flared one of the final hurdle for
9:53
it's first major theme park expansion plan
9:56
since the nineteen nineties. This week, the
9:58
Anything Planning Commission of. The Disneyland

new rights entertainment, shops, restaurants, parking,
10:13

a lot more revenue and bring more jobs.
10:42
Anaheim. Though. Opponents point out that
10:45
construction will impact air quality and greenhouse
10:47

to work Wednesday. Companies. Are running
12:13
into new issues as employees come back to the
12:15
office. It turns out a lot of workers have
12:17
forgotten how to behave at work. And
12:19
with that demand for workplace etiquette. Trading has
12:22
serves over the last two years. Or
