Live from NPR News in New York City, I'm Duahli Sikotel.

In Germany, one person is dead, and at least 15 people are injured after a vehicle drove

into a crowd at the Capitol's annual Pride event, as as Mean Nicholson reports police

are actively searching for the driver. Berlin police say a white vehicle drove into a crowd at the city's annual Pride Parade shortly after 10 p.m. on Saturday evening, police say witnesses saw the driver get out and run away after coming to a halt. Police are currently clearing the parade, as they search for the suspect there is not yet

any indication whether the incident wasn't attacked. Berlin's annual Pride, known as Christopher Street Day, is one of Europe's largest LGBTQ+ events. For MPI News, I'm as Mean Nicholson, in Berlin. On its official social media Berlin police said an urgent manhood is underway for one

or more possible perpetrators. Republican campaign committees have vastly more cash than their Democratic counterparts heading into the midterms.

And Piers' Tamar Keith takes a closer look in the latest filings with a federal election

commission. All told, the Republican Party campaign committees and the MAGA Inc. Superpack

ended June with more than $1 billion cash on hand.

The president's superpack alone has more than $400 million in the bank. So it isn't clear yet how much of it will get spent in the midterms to defend Republican control of Congress. Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee is at a negative $2 million if you take debt into account.

Combined, the Democratic committees are trailing the Republican committees by more than $700 million. Democratic candidates, however, have raised significant sums directly to their campaigns. Tamar Keith and PR News. The White House Correspondence Association held its annual fundraising dinner last night

that event had been interrupted in April when a man tried to force his way through a security

checkpoint and fired a shotgun outside the ballroom where President Trump was to speak. Trump said last night that he had scrapped the most biting parts of their marks he was going to give last time. However, during his hour-long speech, he spent time insulting various people, singer Bruce Springsteen, former President Barack Obama, and his own speech writers, and Pierre Zornelding reports.

President complained about his script, wondered who could have written some parts of it. Near the end of the speech, after he had insulted a number of correspondence, he did essentially repeat the ritual tribute to the freedom of the press and the first amendment. Then he was also wearing by the end of the speech, a Trump in 2028 hat. And Pierre Zornelding reporting.

You are listening to NPR News from New York City. The nest of the internet famous bald eagle couple, Jackie and Shadow, in Big Bear California, will be spared from a development nearby. The group that runs the 24/7 eagle life stream will be able to buy the land thanks to

a multi-million dollar donation.

From member station KVCR in San Bernardino, Madison Alment reports. Friends of Big Bear Valley, the nonprofit that runs the camera, had until the end of July to raise $10 million to stop luxury housing and a marina from going in near Jackie and Shadow's nest. With a week to go, a Silicon Valley tech couple stepped up.

Open AI president Greg Brockman and his wife Anna donated about $5 million dollars. Jenny voice-art with Friends of Big Bear Valley says every donation helped. "I'm grateful for everyone that donated that didn't have extra money or that sacrifice or that sold things or that did fundraisers." The nonprofit plans to put the land into a trust.

First off, the Arabian Peninsula near the Yemen City of Haudaia.

Iran back to the rebels say they launched missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia in retaliation for Saudi strikes against Red Sea facilities, belonging to the world's largest oil company aramco. These attacks are the first strikes since about 2022 and is likely to complicate an already unsteady global oil market, while the straight of her moves remains partially closed.

Hulkman says it's naval blockade against Iran remains in full effect today. This is NPR News from New York City. This is Terry Gross. When I was celebrating my 50th anniversary hosting fresh air, I asked my guest, "Rosemaster General Jeff Ross," to "Rose Me."
