The federal trial of Jonathan Rinder Kinesh to accused of starting last year's Palisades
“Fire in Los Angeles has ended in a mistrial.”
Twelve people died, thousands of homes were destroyed, reporter Steve Futterman has more." "The judge asked the jury, "Forman and each of the jurors, is there anything the court can do that might help you reach a unanimous decision?" And each of them said, "No, that's when the judge declared a mistrial. Now after the mistrial was declared, the jury foreman did disclose the division of the
jury. He told the court, "It was split ten to two in favor of a not guilty verdict."
So that's a victory of sorts for the defense, which had always claimed there was never
enough evidence to convict Jonathan Rinder Kinesh to actually starting the fire. The government, though, has said already it plans to retry the case on all three counts. For MPR News, I'm Steve Futterman at the Federal Courthouse in Los Angeles." President Trump is claiming that Iran violated its ceasefire agreement with the U.S. in a social media post, Trump said that Iran shot four, or more, of what he called one way
attack drones at ships in the straight of four moves. And PR's Daniel Kurtz-Lavin has more. Trump said that one drone hit a cargo ship while the U.S. stopped three other drones from causing damage. President Trump added that, quote, "This is a foolish violation of our ceasefire agreement."
This could threaten the tenuous truth while the U.S. and Iran attempt to negotiate a long-term peace agreement.
However, it is not clear what Trump meant.
For example, whether he now considers the ceasefire over and whether the U.S. might retaliate. The White House did not immediately answer questions about the President's post. Last week, Trump said that he was willing to resume bombing Iran if he either did not like the peace agreement the U.S. reaches with them, or if Iran doesn't quote, "behave."

stabilized apartments in the city. David Brandt, from Weber Station WNYC, reports it fulfills one of Mayor Zornmom Donnie's campaign pledges. The New York City rent guidelines board approved a two-year rent freeze for tenants in rent stabilized apartments.
It's the first time the board has voted for a two-year freeze.
It will keep rents flat for about 40% of the city's housing stock. Mombani appointed six of the board's nine members. He called the vote in historic victory for renters. Tenants celebrated the decision, but landlord groups immediately criticized the vote. They say they need higher rents to offset their own growing expenses, including insurance,

Hugo Ricard Bell of Member Station KUER explored the intersection between wildfires and mental health. Hazley Ricard didn't know what to make of the smoke that bellowed into a neighborhood last Saturday morning. The threat dawned on her when she started talking to a neighbors.
And as the fire burned, she couldn't shake her anxiety. "I do wake up at night and I feel like I heart-literally pounding and I'm not sure if it's stress or just the bad air to be frank." Amanda Bacon with the Huntsman Mental Health Institute studies environmental impacts on mental health.
She found a direct relationship between heat, air pollutants, and mental health issues. That air pollution either directly affects your lungs, which causes trickle down effects that travel to your brain. When there is a lot of smoke in the air, she recommends wearing a mask.
