Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dan Ronan.
President Trump used his July 4th speech on the National Mall Saturday night to harshly
“criticize communist, and PR's moral bias in reports.”
"Communists is Donald Trump's latest epithet for Democrats, and he's been using it lately as he searches for an advantage for Republicans in the midterm elections." "Our worries did not fight communism on battlefields across the world, only to have that menace rear its ugly head right back here in America." Trump is referring to a handful of members of the Democratic Socialists of America, who
just won some Democratic primaries. In safe blue districts, like in New York City, those wins may not matter, since a Democrat was expected to win their anyway. But many Democrats are worried that in swing states and districts, they could be nominating candidates that are too far left to win a general election.
"Our Elias and NPR News." A star player for the U.S. Men's National Soccer Team will be available for tomorrow's round of 16 match against Belgium in the FIFA World Cup. The team's leading score had been given a red card in a one-game suspension, but FIFA has stepped in allowing him to play, and PR's Becky Sullivan reports.
The red card for forward-flar and valagan came in the round of 32 game against Spaznia Herzegovina. He and a Basin defender got their legs tingled up as they both went for the ball and valagan stepped on the defender's ankle with his cleat. The referee initially didn't even grant a foul, but slow motion, video replay, and still
shots of the contact led a video referee to recommend that balligan receive a red card. Balligan has since said the contact was unintentional. The U.S. won the game anyway, 2 to 0, but a red card comes with a one-game suspension,
“meaning valigan was set to miss Monday's crucial match against Belgium.”
But a FIFA disciplinary committee announced Sunday that the one-game suspension would itself be suspended for a probationary period of one year, meaning valigan will be available for Monday's game. Becky Sullivan and Pierre-News, Seattle.
Investors are headed for the first full week of trading in July with the Dow Jones
at a record high, but his NPR's Raphael Nam reports uncertain about inflation and interest rates continues to be top of mind. Wassers is headed for a quieter week, with no major economic data coming out. The primary event will likely be the release of minutes from the latest federal reserve meeting. The first to take place under new chair Kevin Wars, back in June the Fed kept interest rates
on hold, but left open the prospect of raising them, should inflation remain elevated. Investors will now scrutinize the minutes to get more insight about what policy makers are thinking, especially with a new inflation report due out later this month. Raphael Nam, in PR News.
“The second day of funeral services in Iran are underway for Iran's late Supreme”

Throughout the Mariana Island chain residents have been instructed to stay and secure shelter for the next 24 hours, as life threatening weather conditions prevailed with howling winds flying debris and raging seas, national weather service go on meteorologists land and idlet has been working with emergency officials to keep residents safe.
