Live from NPR News in Washington, on Corv.
and Washington, DC will hold primaries, Alabama and Georgia are holding run-offs.
“In Georgia's run-off vote, the Republican Contests for Governor and the U.S. Senate are”
the most watched. Georgia Public Broadcasting in Atlanta, Sarah Callos reports. Georgia Lieutenant Governor Bert Jones is hoping a last minute endorsement from Governor Brian Camp will give him a boost in the gubernatorial race. We think that this is exactly what's going to put us over the top.
President Trump endorsed Jones early in the race. His opponent, Billionaire Rick Jackson, says that he is the political outsider. "I'm going to go in and I'm going to make a change to this system." Whoever wins that race will face Democrat Kishalian's bottoms in the general election. Voters are also choosing between Trump and Doris Congressman Mike Collins and former
football coach, Jared Dooley, to face Senator John Osoth in November. For NPR News, I'm Sarah Callos in Atlanta. Officials at Edwards Air Force Base in California say eight people died when a B-52 bomber plane crashed yesterday.
“NPR's Quill Lawrence reports the plane went down right after taking off on what's described”
as a routine test mission.
Base first responders rushed to the spot where the huge bomber crashed on the runway
inside Edwards Air Force Base, north of Los Angeles. They quickly determined the crash was unservivable. Authorities on base said the crew was a mixed of uniform military and civilians. The B-52 Stratofortris has been in service since the 1950s and been used in conflicts from Vietnam to today's war with Iran.
It can carry nuclear or conventional weapons up to about 70,000 pounds of them on missions as far as nearly 9,000 miles. Air Force officials say they'll withhold personnel details until all next of kin are notified and that it could take weeks or months before an investigation determines the cause of the crash.
Quill Lawrence and PR News. President Trump has been saying the U.S. and Iran will sign an agreement to end the war on Friday, in Geneva.
“Though details of the agreement have been published, one thing is clear, Israel will not”
be signing it. Israel and the U.S. jointly attacked Iran on February 28th. PR's Kerry conses Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has a lot of questions. He is not happy and he's getting a lot of heat here at home for it. He held the press conference last night and immediately addressed the criticism that his
goals were not met, especially Iran's nuclear question, which he calls his life's mission not to allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon. He says that will remain his priority. And PR's Kerry Con reporting. Trump is at the G7 conference in the French Alps today.
He's participating in a working lunch on stability in the Middle East earlier today. He and the other G7 leaders held a meeting on Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. You're listening to NPR News from Washington. The FIFA World Cup is brought the top 48 men's soccer teams in the world to North America, but how much of an economic boom will actually materialize in the 11 U.S.
cities hosting the games from member station KERA, Dylan Duke, has more FIFA projects
the U.S. economy will see a $17 billion boost in GDP and the creation of 185,000 jobs.
But economists in PR spoke with our skeptical. Yeah, I guess they'd have something of a little boom and sales tax revenue the last for a few weeks. And it just goes back to where it was before, so in the grand scheme, it doesn't really matter that much.
Clark is a professor of economics at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. He said FIFA's projections are likely exaggerated. For NPR News, I'm Dylan Duke. At the World Cup yesterday there were three games and they ended in ties, Iran held even with New Zealand, two to two Saudi Arabia and Uruguay tied one to one, and in a surprise,
the small islands of Cape Verde held Spain to a nil nil tie. A little more than a week ago, President Trump declared that all renovation work had been finished on the reflecting pool on the national mall. It's near the Lincoln Memorial, but parts of the reflecting pool which Trump boasted would be clean, beautiful, and blue are now turning green.
It's got algae blooms in it. Workers have been trying to clear the algae blooms from the reflecting pool ahead of July fourth celebrations on the national mall. It's not yet clear if that will work. It's not on core of a Coleman, NPR News.
This is our glass. On this American life, when they mean like, it's a good mystery. Sometimes about really big things, but most times, the little mysteries are the best. Our lost and found is currently filled with pants.
I don't know what I've never seen this happen.
