Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor, Johnston.
The leader of the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah says last week's framework agreement
“between Israel and Lebanon won't succeed unless Israel withdraws its forces.”
But as NPR's carry-con reports, Israel says it won't leave Southern Lebanon until Hezbollah disarms. Hezbollah's leader, Nain Kazim, posted a lengthy criticism of the framework agreement signed between Israel and Lebanon, the deal links in Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon to Hezbollah's disarmament.
Something Kazim says won't happen until Israel withdraws. He says the deal gives away Lebanon's sovereignty which he called a great sin. According to the new deal, Israel would withdraw from small villages or so-called pilot zones whose security would be turned over to the Lebanese Army. To ensure Hezbollah does not return and be able to fire on northern Israel.
Despite the ceasefire, Israel struck near the village of Nabatiyah and Saturday, Israel's military says the targeted strike killed the militant posing a threat. Carry-con and PR news to live.
“Rescue teams continue to dig through collapse buildings in northern Venezuela after”
last week's back-to-back earthquakes, and PR's atop her altar reports more than 2,000 international responders are helping in the search for survivors. The government said the death toll had risen to 1,430 with nearly 3,500 injured, but those figures are predicted to rise. Cargo planes carrying emergency aid are now beginning to land in Venezuela after the main
airport in Karakas partially reopened to relief flights.
U.S. officials say they hope to deliver the first mobile hospitals as rescue workers continue
to battle unstable rubble and damaged infrastructure and search of survivors. In one of the few moments of hope a newborn baby was rescued from the rubble in the Venezuelan city as teams and civilians alike continued digging through collapsed buildings. It approached and PR news in the White House state of Venezuela. Emergency crews are battling a number of wildfires across many parts of the southwestern
U.S. Red Flag mornings have been issued for several states.
“Some PR's Nate Rott reports that include Southern Utah where the largest fire in the nation”
is currently burning. Firefighters on the cottonwood fire near Beaver, Utah saw historic condition Friday. The National Weather Service in Salt Lake City issued its first ever particularly dangerous situation red flag warning due to a combination of high winds, temperatures and low humidity.
The conditions forced firefighters to temporarily disengage from some parts of the fire and grounded aircraft. Red Flag warnings are forecast in six southwestern states, including most of Utah through Saturday. One day is expected to see a little reprieve with cooler less windy conditions to follow into next week, Nate Rott and PR news.
You're listening to NPR news from Washington. Dangerous heat is building across the plains and the Midwest. Forcasters say extreme heat is likely to continue into the 4th of July weekend across much of the central and eastern U.S., high humidity could push heat index values above 100 degrees in many areas, parts of Illinois and Missouri could feel as hot as 110 degrees.
Cities along the East Coast, including New York, Philadelphia and Washington DC, are expected to see triple-digit temperatures by the middle of the week. Lawmakers in Australia say they're planning to double penalties for tech companies reaching the social media ban for children. It's part of the move to strengthen the ban after a new study found it had done little
to reduce kids' access to restricted platforms. Christina Kokula reports from Melbourne. More than six months into the ban, the Australian government says too many children are still on social media and companies like Facebook, TikTok and YouTube are not doing enough to remove them from their sights.
In the statement it says penalties will be doubled to the equivalent of nearly $70 million
for platforms found to be violating their obligations. The online safety regulators powers will also be increased to enforce restrictions and quote hold them to account. The move comes after a study published in the British Medical Journal found over 85% of children under 16 were still using restricted platforms three months after the ban came into force.
