"Live from NPR news in Washington, I'm Dan Rumran.
The Ron and the United States are exchanging new military strikes, putting in jeopardy
the fragile ceasefire. President Trump is warning there could be more attacks today if a Ron and the United States don't reach an agreement to end hostilities. Speaking from outside SENCOM, at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, one Wednesday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseeth confirmed the U.S. will be striking a Ron and targets.
“We denied reports the U.S. could hit key targets in Iran, and those attacks could”
be classified as war crimes. Imputing the motives of the folks on our side who are incredibly professional and incredibly effective. We will hit them hard on our terms, on the targets, that improve the environment for us to operate in, and undermine the capabilities that Ron wants to have."
Ron launched its own attacks at a military base in Jordan that houses U.S. troops, and also strikes in Kuwait and Bahrain. Federal workers are being notified they could be reclassified as at-will employees making it easier to fire them. From WAMU, Jenny Obama reports this comes after President Trump signed an order, stripping
protections for thousands of federal workers. This month, Federal workers started getting emails about a new job classification called Schedule Policy/Career. According to multiple employees at the National Institutes of Health and Maryland, all
“of whom requested anonymity because they feared retribution.”
One message reviewed by WAMU that went out to employees at the Department of Health and Human Services said notices about classification changes would be sent throughout the week. The classification change means the employee is at-will and stripped of longstanding civil service protections. This follows a June 3rd Executive Order from President Trump.
Federal unions are fighting the order and court. Employee say they're still waiting to learn how many federal workers are affected. For MPR News, I'm Jenny Obama and Bethesda. Colorado River experts were in Washington, D.C. wins, data speak with senators about the state of the Western water crisis from Member Station, K.J. Z., Alex Hager reports the water
supply is shrinking and state officials are running out of time for a new plan. The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee heard from federal water managers about the need to cut back on demand while major reservoirs shrink due to drought and climate change. Andrea Travnick with the Bureau of Reclamation says she'd prefer that state leaders agree
on a plan for sharing the Colorado River, but- If they can't move their stakes to get closer, we are going to have to make the decision and the federal government is prepared to do that. The feds are likely to get sued by the states if they move forward with their own rules. The deadline for a new plan is about a couple months away and states are letting a messy
court battle get closer to becoming a reality. For NPR News, I'm Alex Hager and Phoenix and you're listening to NPR. The New York Nix Wednesday night stunned the San Antonio spurs in game four of the NBA

With the FIFA World Cup kicking off Thursday, the head of FIFA is defending high prices for tickets for the most expensive addition of the tournament ever to be put on. NPR's Becky Sullivan reports FIFA president, Johnny and Fintino argued that World Cup ticket prices are in line with playoff games in North American sports. He pointed to the New York Nix, whose NBA finals tickets have soared into the thousands
of dollars. The World Cup would be watched by six billion people.
“So in terms of importance, the World Cup is much, much more important.”
Fans have accused FIFA of deceptive sales practices such as selling tickets with a desirable category one designation, then assigning those buyers to seats it would later advertise as being an less appealing tier. On Tuesday, Texas became the latest state, along with California, New Jersey and New York, to open an investigation into those sales tactics, and Fintino says lawyers vetted FIFA's
practices and will make their cases needed. Becky Sullivan and PR news Kansas City chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is now the
