Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is your twenty four to seven use update. The
latest use this hour at just four.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Minutes, President Trump is announcing what he calls a full
and comprehensive trade deal with the United Kingdom. Trump said
on truth Social earlier today that the US will soon
sign a trade deal with the UK that will, in
his words, cement the relationship between the two nations for
many years to come. Indicated it was the first of
(00:28):
many deals with US trading partners, which he claims were
in serious stages of negotiation. In an earlier post, Trump
announced that today would be a very big and exciting
day for the US. In Britain, there'd be a news
conference at ten am. Eastern Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is
said to announce Thursday as planned for overhauling the nation's
(00:51):
air traffic control system. More from Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
This comes amidst continuing delays at Newark Liberty Airport resulting
from communication black and a shortage of air traffic controllers.
Duffy has offered glimpses of the plans, saying in recent
interviews the system would have new telecom, new radars, and
new infrastructure. Last week, air traffic controller screens at Newark
went dark for thirty seconds, cutting off all communication between
airplanes and controllers.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Another round of voting is passed today, with a College
of Cardinals failing to elect a successor to Pope Francis.
Black smoke was seen coming from the chimney at the
Sistine Chapel, meaning there is still no leader of the
Catholic Church. Senior international correspondent Claudio Lavango says those on
chimney watch may not have to wait long.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
In the last two conclaves that the popes were elected
on the second day of the conclaves, so if that
trend continues, we may have a pope by the end
of today.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
University of Washington is suspending twenty one pro Palestinian students
who protested against Israel. The students were among thirty demonstrators
who were arrested this week for taking over the school's
engineering building and demanding the university cut ties with Boeing
because of its relationship with israel. I'm Michael Kasner, the
tour helicopter that crashed in the Hudson River April tenth,
(02:10):
fell apart mid air, according to the preliminary report from
the federal agency investigating more from Andrew Whipman.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
The National Transportation Safety Board reports as witnesses heard several
loud bangs before the helicopter literally fell apart. Photos showed
the New York Helicopters tours Bell helicopter in three pieces
in the air, the fuselage with engine, the main rotor system,
and the tail boom. The report does not say what
(02:38):
caused the chopper to break up. An executive with the
German conglomerate Siemens, his wife, their three children, and the
pilot were all killed.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
California is part of a group of seventeen states suing
the Trump administration for withholding billions of dollars intended for
electric vehicle charging stations Temi Trehio with more.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Attorney General Rob Bonta claims the action exceeds presidential powers.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Cost California, specifically, more than three hundred million dollars, eliminate
thousands of good paying jobs, and damage a critical e
merging industry.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
The approved funding aims to reduce pollution, enhance clean transportation,
and create jobs. A recent directive from the Federal Highway
Administration blocks a five billion dollar program to expand EV infrastructure.
The funding is already congressionally approved. The lawsuit seeks to
stop the withholding of the funds and marks California's nineteenth
legal action against the Trump administration in just fifteen weeks.
(03:36):
I'm Tammy for HEEO.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Silver and gold may be making a comeback as currency
in Missouri. State representatives this week approved a bill that
would make gold and silver legal tender. The bill would not, however,
require businesses to accept precious metals as payment. The Eastern
Conference is in shambles after the latest NBA playoff result.
The next are up too. Oh again, it's the Celtics
(04:00):
following another last second road wind from Boston. I'm Michael Cassner.
