President Trump has approved federal disaster assistance for Indiana, where record flooding
across the state has killed at least five people, and officials are warning of more rising waters and possible flash flooding this weekend, because of incoming storms that could bring heavy rainfall. Thousands of people have been rescued and hundreds of evacuations have been reported, whose Indiana's government Mike Braun.
When the ground saturated like this, even though it's a dry time in the year, normally,
“I think we've got to hopefully not any more major storms like this come along, or else”
we'd have to deal with it to some extent again. Meanwhile in Hawaii, Hurricane Lala did not make landfall in the big island, but it did bring maximum sustained winds of 75 miles per hour. In Ukraine, several people have been killed overnight in Russian attacks, and cave launched hundreds of drones towards targets in Russia, the BBC's Dan Johnson reports.
Air raid sirens sounded three times during the night in Ukraine's capital. Three people were reported injured in a strike on a market, or the buildings were burning after being hit. In eastern Ukraine, a man and woman in their 60s were killed when a guided bomb destroyed a home in Zaporizia, officials in the proper troops reported one person killed and
14 injured. Ukraine says its air defense has shot down three Russian missiles and 85 of more than 100 drones. The mayor of Moscow said 600 Ukrainian drones were launched towards the city overnight,
“and another warehouse belonging to Russian online retailer Wildberries is reported to have”
been hit. A year ago, the Trump administration opened the largest U.S. detention camp at Fort Bliss in Texas. The calls to close the 10th facility have grown louder amid allegations of inhumane conditions where three people in custody have died, Angelica Cargo, the member station KTP reports
from El Paso. Civil rights and immigrant advocates gathered to mark the one-year anniversary of the camp, which opened on August 17th of last year. They read testimony from detainees detailing unsanitary conditions. Igor Undercooked Meals and Dangerous Medical Neglect, attorney Charlotte Weiss with the
Texas Civil Rights Project, visits the camp. She read testimony from a 48-year-old man detained at the camp who needed multiple medications for diabetes. "I was only given insulin once per day by the medical staff and my daily doses were often late or missed altogether."
Immigration and customs enforcement has said detainees get proper care, but a government accountability office report released in June found the camp failed to meet basic health and safety standards. For NPR News, I'm Angelica Cargo and El Paso. And you are listening to NPR from New York City.
A 19-year-old who was found hiding inside a dorm closet at Virginia State University is now in police custody, suspected of shooting five people age 17 to 23 on campus early Saturday.
Authorities say no one was killed, but one person is in critical condition.
Cameron Harris of nearby Henrico is not a student at the historically black college, which has about 5,000 students and is located just 30 minutes south of capital Richmond. Cases are set to begin on Monday. In Australia officials will soon vaccinate about 5,000 little penguins to fight against the deadly age 5 bird flu virus.
This is after authorities in Victoria recorded its first penguin fatality. Confirfinish conservationists are concerned about what this will mean for the world's biggest little penguin colony, Rachel Bornjourner reports. Every evening, hundreds of tourists quietly gather in the shores of Phillip Island about two hours drive from Melbourne, hoping to catch a glimpse of these adorable birds as they
waddled their way up the sand to their boroughs. But living in such close quarters is what makes penguins at higher risk. Although only 5,000 out of around 40,000 penguins were big in their vaccinations on Monday, the state's two veterinary officer Graham Cox's, it's still ambitious. This is the largest vaccination project in wildlife that has ever been undertaken.
Just over 200 birds have tested positive for the virus since it first arrived in June.
