“Russia this weekend, and Pyrus Hanna Palomarenko reports from Kiev.”
The press service of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense reported that Ukraine has disabled seven of the ten largest wild-braised logistics centers in Russia. Since July 18, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have attacked a number of warehouses belonging to the Russian Marketplace. According to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, these facilities supplied sanctioned
components for the production of drones and navigation equipment. Meanwhile, overnight and morning Russian attacks on Ukraine damaged the power generation and blast furnace operations in the NPR-Vetrovsk region, postal service warehouses, and the hardware store in Odessa. The FDA says it's on the ground in Mexico to investigate the cause of contaminated
lettuce that is sickened almost 10,000 people in at least 19 states, NPR's Laura Sullivan reports. FDA officials say they have initiated an on-site inspection at Taylor Farms in Mexico.
“The farm linked to the largest known cyclospora outbreak in U.S. history.”
They say they're coordinating with Mexican officials. The FDA says in a statement it's "confident" that all recalled iceberg lettuce related to this specific outbreak is off the market. Officials noted that the best by dates on the lettuce packaging has also now passed. The FDA says investigators in Mexico hope to sample different areas of the facility and
the field. Though critics say it will be hard to gain much useful information now because too much time has passed. Taylor Farms says it recalled all iceberg lettuce from the U.S. market on July 17. Laura Sullivan and PR News, Washington.
Walmart and other big retailers are set to report their earnings this week giving us a glimpse of how consumer demand is shaping the economy. And PR's Rafael Nom has a look at the week ahead on Wall Street.
“For the most part consumers continue to spend, and that's important given how critical”
consumer spending is to the U.S. economy. We get another glimpse into household finances when Walmart and Target report earnings. And investors will also keep a close eye on the minutes from the latest federal reserve meeting. The minutes are becoming even more important at a time when Fedcher Kevin Worsh is pairing
down communications with markets. Worsh believes that gives the Fed flexibility to act as needed, and that the Fed doesn't need to telegraph its movements. But it does leave markets less shortened about the Fed's thinking, hence the eagerness to look at the minutes from the meeting, Rafael Nom and PR News.
The report's come amid inflationary pressure stemming from the U.S. war against Iran. You're listening to NPR. Student athletes across the country are getting ready for the start of the season in extreme heat. This year, before teams take the field, they'll need to consult the wet bulb globe-temperature
reading. It's a comprehensive assessment of the heat risk. It takes into account air temperature, humidity, wind speed, and cloud cover. Taxis now joins 17 other states that mandate teams consult the readings and follow correlating guidance, which can dictate how long a team can practice outside, or if it's even safe at
all. Dr. Jamie Harrison is the executive director of the University of Alaska League, which governs high school sports hearing Texas.
He says, "The bottom line is, this is the national gold standard for keeping kids safe
when working in the heat, and that's our ultimate goal." However, the readings are required for practices only, and not game days when the heat can be just as brutal. For NPR News, I'm Bianca Stewart, in Houston. The trial of Dwayne Davis begins tomorrow in Las Vegas.
