The White House has said it does not consider Lebanon to be part of the ceasefire president Trump told PBS he considers it "a separate skirmish." The White House says Vice President Bance is heading to Pakistan for talks Friday about the ceasefire.

Beirut Iran has suggested those talks might be canceled because of today's violence.

"You in Secretary General Antonio Caterish is condemning the Israeli strikes in Lebanon and in a statement he called on all parties to cease hostilities.

Australia's Prime Minister says Lebanon must be included in the ceasefire.

Lebanon has declared Thursday a national day of mourning." Lebanon already leader Chuck Schumer says Democrats will force a war power's vote to put Republicans on the record with the U.S. Iran conflict, yours impairs Claudia Griselus." Democrats started forcing the Senate votes to limit President Trump's war powers before they left for a two-week recess.

Now, Democratic leader Schumer says they'll try again when Congress returns next week. Congress must reassert its authority, especially at this dangerous moment. "No President Democrat or Republican should take this country to war alone." Schumer argued the conflict was a "colossal failure" that has made global conditions worse for the U.S. and its allies.

The state has confirmed 583 cases since the outbreak started last summer.

Sean Higgins, with member station KUER, has more. State epidemiologist Dr. Lieshan Nolan says while the outbreak started in a small community along the Utah Arizona border, it's quickly spreading. "It is now hitting people from all different areas of the state with all different practices, from all different kinds of communities.

It isn't limited to any specific group anymore." According to the State Health Department, more than 80% of cases are among unvaccinated people. Nolan says it's hard to know when the outbreak could slow down, but warmer weather could help as people spend less time inside. For NPR News, I'm Sean Higgins, in Salt Lake City.

"This is in PR news. I don't know, Oregon and appeals court has handed a notable victory to a major West Coast electric utility, Oregon Public Broadcasting's April, Ehrlich has more." In 2023, a jury found Pacific Corp grossly negligent for keeping its lines charged during a windstorm, potentially sparking four different wildfires across Oregon in 2020.

Since this was a class-action lawsuit, the verdict meant thousands could claim damages against the Berkshire Hathaway own utility. But it appeals court now says the jury in that lawsuit received bad instructions. As jury members were told to assume that all evidence applied to all class members, but these were separate wildfires in different parts of the state.

This decision could ultimately shrink how much Pacific Corp pays to people harmed in the 2020 Oregon wildfires.

So far, that price tag has sold passed $1 billion.

For NPR News, I'm Ehrlich in Portland.
