Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered Israel's military to expand its ground invasion
of Southern Lebanon.
“In Burstani restaurant reports, it comes as an Israeli soldier with U.S. citizenship was”
killed by Hezbollah in Lebanon. The killed soldier was from New Haven, Connecticut. He moved to Israel to serve in the military. Israel has been expanding its ground invasion into neighboring Lebanon, creating what Israel calls a new buffer zone.
Netanyahu is now ordering it to be expanded. He says to thwart the threat of Hezbollah invading northern Israel and to push anti-tank missile fire farther away from the Israeli border.
Netanyahu is facing pressure to protect residents of northern Israel who have not been evacuated
from their homes and who face daily has Bala rocket and drone attacks. In southern Israel, an Iranian missile attack hit a chemical plant sparring a massive fire, authorities ruled out a leak of hazardous substances, Daniel Estrin NPR News, Tel Aviv. Federal courts in parts of the country are straining, under an unprecedented flood of habeas corpus petitions from people trying to get released from immigration detention.
Ampere's Martin Costa reports in some courts, the immigration petitions are delaying other court business. This year, the Trump administration restricted detainees right to post bonds to get out while their cases were pending. Many are now turning to federal courts.
In California's eastern district, home to three ice detention centers, Judge Troy El Nunley says he and his colleagues are getting hundreds of habeas corpus requests a month.
“That's a liberty interest, a liberty interest is very, very important.”
And if someone is unlawfully detained and they make their case to the court, we would be remiss if we waited to get them out of custody. He says most petitioners win their release, but the time to process them is interfering with the federal courts other cases. Martin Costa and PR News, it'll be a short week ahead on Wall Street, and as in Piers
got Horsley reports, traders may welcome the break after a big sell-off last week. All the major stock indexes fell last week as the U.S. War with Iran continued to scramble energy markets, crude oil prices topped $100 a barrel, and gasoline prices climbed to about $1 a gallon higher than they had been before the war. This coming week brings a fresh look at the U.S. job market, we'll find out on Friday how
any jobs employers added, or subtracted in the month of March. The job market has shown little movement for the last six months, but at 4.4% the unemployment rate remains relatively low.
“Traders will not get an immediate opportunity to react to the job support, the stock market”
will be closed that day for the good Friday holiday. Scott Horsley and PR News, Washington. And U.S. features contracts are trading lower at this hour, all three major indices down about a half percent, you're listening to NPR News. The paintings of one of the great masters of the high-rennocence, Rafael, will be on display
in the U.S. starting today at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Although, Prince of Painters, his portraits are known for their balance and harmony, the exhibit includes more than 170 paintings, drawings, and tapestries from museums and private collections around the world, and many are being displayed in the U.S. for the first time. Project Hail Mary of Field Good Movie About Space Voyage is still soaring at theaters,
and here's Bob Mandelo has more. Ryan Gosling's film about an alien encounter during a long shot effort to save Earth, and was ever done this before, took off like a rocket last weekend. Thinking me and go time pal, and apparently the 85% of its audience that said in exit polls that they'd recommend Project Hail Mary to a friend, actually recommended it to a friend.
Why don't we have an expecting company? Where most blockbusters drop drastically after a big U.S. opening, Project Hail Mary will finish
this second weekend with another 54 million dollars in the till and it's holding even better
overseas, so the worldwide 10 day total will top $300 million all before the start of next weekend's lucrative Easter holidays, Bob Mandelo and PR News. And in second place Disney Pixar's original Hoppers with 12 million, and third place Warner Brothers, they will kill you debuted with a disappointing $5 million. The gory r-rated horror film is about a woman who applies to be a maid at an apartment complex
where she's to become a sacrificial offering. I'm Janine Herbst and PR News in Washington.
