Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Levy Casey.
U.S. Central Command says 3 U.S. Service Members have been killed in military operations since Friday.
“The Department of Defense has released the names of two of them, 25-year-old First Lieutenant”
Tyler James Fianne of Hawaii, and 19-year-old Private Isabella Gonzalez of Texas. NPR's Jane Araff says the latest American death happened in Iraq. This military person was killed in a controlled detonation of an Iranian drone in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, and that's when explosives experts try to disable explosives by deliberately detonating them.
Obviously, something seems to have gone wrong there. Senkham also says it found human remains at a base in Jordan that it is working to identify. 17 American military personnel are now reported killed since the U.S. and Israel launched the Iran war in late February, Iran says at least 3,000 Iranians have died.
Main Democrats are entering the final stretch to nominate a new candidate to challenge Republican Senator Susan Collins this November. A front-runner has emerged to replace Graham Platner, who dropped out of the race this
“month after being accused of rape which he denies.”
Main public's Steve Missler reports former main Senate President Troy Jackson held a commanding lead of delegates after the weekend's party caucuses. While those delegates aren't bound to Jackson, most have already said they'll back him at this coming Saturday's nomination convention. Should he secure the nomination, Jackson will push a progressive platform championed by
his longtime ally for Mont Senator Bernie Sanders. The 58-year-old Lager has been involved in main politics for more than 20 years and has become a strong ally of labor unions and activists. Many of whom were elected as convention delegates over the weekend. For NPR News, I'm Steve Missler, and Samford Main.
Spain is celebrating a one-nothing win over Argentina in the final of the Men's World Cup Soccer Tournament, and PR's Miguel Massias says Spain dominated the game and scored what turned out to be the winning goal in extra time.
“At home, with family and friends, that's how many Spain has celebrated just past midnight,”
the second Men's World Cup title.
After a tense game in which the Spanish team had 11 shots on target versus none from Argentina, France across the country could finally celebrate. Like Lucía Jimenez from the data, who says Spain had to suffer through this game. "As you've been partied of your freedom, as you've been." Jimenez says there was a lot of tension, especially at their family gathering, her boyfriend
just happens to be Argentina. And out of all of the game stats, perhaps the most telling one, Argentina's goalie, Emiliano Dibu Martinez, had her record time 11 saves, much to the frustration of Spanish fans who could not breathe easy until the game was finally over.

Congo's health ministry says at least 930 people have died in the country's Ebola outbreak on Saturday 37 new deaths were recorded in 24 hours and one of the highest single-day totals. It's the fastest growing Ebola outbreak on record. Residents of a large swath of south and central Texas are working to clean up the aftermath
of the region's second major flood in just over a year.
Texas Public Radio's Camille Phillips reports that in some places, floodwaters reached higher ground this year, damaging different homes. Over the weekend, residents and volunteers shoveled mud and lifted waterlogged appliances out of homes that overlook the banks of a creek in the Texas Hill Country. Last year, Miriam Hernandez says the flood stopped a foot from her door while she and her
husband slept on a wear. So this year, she says she was more vigilant. This year, I'm hoping to be a blade just due laundry and it just happened to look out and just started watching it. The creek flooded at least four feet into her home, breaking windows and crumbling walls.
Hernandez says it's highly unlikely that we build. I'm Camille Phillips and Curvelle. Christopher Nolan's movie The Odyssey stormed the box office this weekend, making more
