Today is Wednesday, March thirteenth. Were talking

0:02

about a tense hearing on Capitol Hill

0:04

as a former Special counsel defended his

0:07

report about how President Biden handled classified

0:09

documents. Also, a first of its

0:11

kind delivery to Gaza and how millions

0:13

of dollars and weapons are being sent

0:15

Ukraine without Congress giving the okay. Plus.

0:18

Teenager say they're not the only

0:20

ones dependent on smartphones. Plans for

0:22

a big Disneyland expansion are moving

0:24

forward. And. Companies are having to

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

space station. And one of the crew members

was even part of a rare all women spacewalk. Nasa.

Says all of these experiments will help to

7:09

send people into the cosmos and beyond and

7:11

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

10:00

Forward Projects After almost three years

10:03

10:05

10:07

one point nine billion dollars of the

10:09

next decade. It would add

10:11

new rights entertainment, shops, restaurants, parking,

10:13

and more. The. Project is not

10:17

but Disney officials have brought up

10:20

possible Frozen Utopia, Tron, or Peter

Pan experiences similar to those at

10:24

Dizzy locations in Asia. Is

10:26

also raise the possibility of exploring the

10:28

world. Some Cocoa and Black Panther dizzy

10:30

10:32

millions of dollars for affordable housing, street

10:34

and transportation improvements and see where upgrades

10:36

in the area. Supporters. Of

10:38

this expansion plan, I said it will generate

10:40

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

gas emissions in the community. Next.

10:49

That the project will go before the city councils

10:51

into new issues as employees come back to the

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
