Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor, Johnston.
"Seans of chaos across the capital have then as well at this morning after a powerful
“back-to-back earthquake struck the northern coast of the nation last night, emergency crews”
and Caracas have been working through the night pulling survivors from the rubble of collapsed buildings. Journalists Vanessa Silver described the first moments after the first quake struck the capital. Here we can see the rescue labor that is machinery from the government. There is people removing part of the concrete.
The still not news from survivors of these buildings. At these, at these moment in the city of Caracas, after the massive earthquake. At least seven states are affected, the government declared a state of emergency." At least 164 people were killed in the earthquakes more than 900 other suffered injuries.
“Lebanon's military could take over territory and southern Lebanon now controlled by Israel”
under a pilot plan being discussed in Washington. Israel sees the territory during fighting with Hezbollah, and P.R.'s carry con-reports. The Iran-fac military group is not part of the discussions. The talks in Washington are going on at the same time. U.S. and Iranian delegations continue negotiating a preliminary memorandum of understanding to end the war in Iran. Those main talks in Switzerland were nearly derailed over the current fighting in Lebanon
and Israel's refusal to withdraw from Lebanon. A shaky ceasefire remains in place between Israeli troops and Hezbollah militants, but neither of the two sides are present in the Switzerland talks. A person familiar with the details of the Washington negotiations who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to speak freely tells M.P.R. the plan to replace Israeli troops with Lebanon's own military would start small and not involve a significant Israeli withdrawal.
Caracon and P.R. News tell Evieve. Army General Christon Hew is expected to announce his retirement according to U.S. officials. Don Hew commands U.S. Army forces in Europe and Africa and is perhaps best known as the last American soldier to leave Afghanistan during the 2021 withdrawal. And P.R.'s equivalents as Don Hew's announcement caught many by surprise. He's very highly respected across the military. He was the only four-star
Army job in Europe if he was only in that job for a year and a half. And Defense Secretary Hex had came into office saying that there are far too many flag officers in the military. He shrunk down the possible four-star job. So promotions that Don Hew could get, but Don Hew would have seemed like a competitive candidate for anything up to the chairman of the Joint
“Chiefs of Staff. And that's why this is so surprising. M.P.R.'s equivalents. This is N.P.R.'s.”
The Chinese Supercomputer is now considered the fastest on Earth. N.P.R.'s John Ruich reports the new ranking knocks the U.S. down a notch. The number one Supercomputer on the top 500 list published this week is called "Line Shine" or "Ling Shung in Chinese." It sits in the city of Shenzhen and its debut on the list bumps the Lawrence Livermore National Labs L. Capitan Supercomputer down to number two. The Chinese system was clocked doing a blistering 2.198 x
of flops or two quintillion-198 quadrillion calculations per second. Line Shine was developed in China
using Chinese gear and the National Supercomputing Center in Shenzhen says it's an all-CPU design. That's significant because the best GPU chips are made by U.S. companies and are barred from export to China on national security grounds. The Shenzhen Supercomputing Center says China's return to the top of the Supercomputer list marks a new era in Supercomputing. John Roowich and PR news Europe remains in the grip of a dangerous heat wave
with record-breaking temperatures and France and the United Kingdom. France has expanded its highest-level heat alert as temperatures climbed above 100-4 degrees while Britain recorded its hottest June day on record. Officials are urging people to stay indoors as hospitals brace for more heat-related illnesses. The extreme weather has also disrupted transportation and for some tourist attractions to shorten their hours. I'm Mr. Johnston and you're listening to NPR News from Washington.
This is our glass. On this American life, when they mean like, it's a good mystery. Sometimes it's 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.
This is true. Mysteries have every size, each week, this American life, wherever you get your podcasts.
