Digest

This news program begins with an overview of the day's headlines, including Donald Trump's visit to California, Pope Francis' criticism of both US presidential candidates, and Russia's warning about NATO's potential involvement in the Ukraine war. Trump's visit to California involved fundraisers and a news conference where he criticized the state and repeated debunked claims about immigration. Pope Francis criticized both US presidential candidates for their "anti-life policies," specifically mentioning their stances on immigration and abortion. He encouraged American Catholics to vote for the "lesser evil." The Russian government reiterated President Putin's warning that NATO could be entering into war against Russia if restrictions are lifted on Ukraine's use of Western-supplied long-range missiles. The program also covers a military court in Congo convicting 37 people, including three Americans, on charges of taking part in a coup attempt last May. All 37 were sentenced to death. The program then discusses the effectiveness of food waste laws in the US, highlighting a Massachusetts law that appears to be effective while similar laws in other states are not as successful. Finally, the program reports on a strike by 33,000 machinists against Boeing after rejecting a contract offer that would have increased their wages by 25% over four years. The strike is expected to shut down production of Boeing's most popular jetliners. The program concludes with a report on the Maui wildfire, which found no evidence that key officials made any preparations for the wildfire, despite warnings about critical fire weather.
