his trip in the Middle East dramatic scenes across the Midwest as powerful tornadoes wreak havoc and uproot lives at least five people were killed including a baby we have the footage of the aftermath a New York’s Governor wants a district attorney investigated for refusing a traffic stop Governor says the da undermined her ability to hold others accountable and a veterinarian in Berlin has a heart for the city’s growing raccoon population but her plan for rescuing them isn’t popular with [Music] everyone this is NTD news today live from our NTD Global headquarters here are Stephania Cox and Chris beers the US says Israel won’t in Rafa without further discussion the US is hoping for a temporary 6- we ceasefire hostage and ceasefire talks are currently underway in Egypt a Hamas delegation is expected in Cairo today President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu reviewed the ongoing talks in a call yesterday the White House says Biden also talked about getting more Aid into Gaza and reaffirmed his commitment to Israel’s security meanwhile Secretary of State Anthony blinkin is expanding his trip to the Middle East he’s visiting Saudi Arabia Israel and Jordan this week the state department says blinkin will emphasize two issues stopping the Israel Hamas war from spreading and creating a pathway to an independent Palestinian State this comes after Hamas released a video of another American hostage over the weekend the terrorist group is still holding around 130 hostages Israel believes around 100 are still alive entity’s Jeremy Samberg has the latest on the Israel MOS War the White House says President Biden and Israel’s prime minister reviewed ongoing hostage ceasefire talks on Sunday Biden also reaffirmed ironcloud commitment to Israel and reiterated his position on Rafa NSC adviser John Kirby says Israel will not launch a military offensive where over 1 million people are Sheltering until hearing us thoughts and concerns the Biden Administration says it wants to see a clear and actionable plan on protecting civilians Kirby told ABC on Sunday the US needs to have a better understanding into Israel potential approach Secretary of State Anthony blinkin is extending his trip to the Middle East this week until Wednesday to discuss hostage and ceasefire talks with leaders blinkin will head to Jordan and Israel after visiting Saudi Arabia

alongside another hostage for the first time since his kidnapping on October 7th the two men appear to be speaking under duress pleading for Israel to negotiate a deal Israel has condemned hostage videos as psychological terrorism protesters in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem called for a hostage release deal on Saturday police say at least seven people were arrested some gathered near netanyahu’s private home calling for new elections a Hamas delegation is expected for talks in Cairo Monday Jeremy Sandberg NTD [Music] news the food charity World Central Kitchen says it will resume operations in Gaza today this comes four weeks and after an Israeli military strike killed wck Aid workers in the Gaza Strip and joining us to discuss the phone call between Biden and Netanyahu is and more is Gerard fi senior and civil and human rights attorney and Senior counsel at the lawfare project and political strategist Gerard welcome and to begin with could this conversation do you think Mark a turning point I think this conversation is marking a turning point in to some extent Biden is tempering his rhetoric when it comes to Israel defending itself I think the United States has come to see that Israel does have a pressing need to eliminate the last Hamas stronghold in Rafa and the discussion is now Center on how Israel will achieve that objective not whether it will do so so this marks a subtle change in American policy perspective from the last few weeks where the Biden Administration was previously completely opposed to a grand invasion of Rafa and now they’re discussing with Netanyahu the terms under which this will happen so as a human rights attorney how do you see the negotiations with Hamas for hostages you know they are terrorists what do you think will get them back it it’s very hard to say what will get them back other than concerted military effort to liberate them we’ve seen this crisis drag on for nearly eight months now without any end in sight Hamas has been playing games with kidnapped hostages they have not released all of them in violation of international law even now they’ve rejected a very generous offer by the Israeli government to to exchange hostages in exchange for a prolonged period of of non-conflict and the release of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails Hamas is essentially using these hostages as a bargaining chip to bring World opinion against Israel for its continued efforts in Gaza and Hamas is not likely to give up these hostages because it has no reason to do so now I just want to look at this issue like within the US of course anti-israel protests are continuing and even ramping up on college campuses across the US in your view how are these schools doing and upholding the civil rights of students and what legal protections exist for both protesters and you know Jewish students on campus these schools are categorically failing not just their Jewish students but all of their students they’re failing to uphold their policies and rules about protests and demonstrations they’re not doing anything about the continued harassment targeting discrimination and violence against Jewish and other students this is violating these students civil rights which is actionable in a court of law this can result in the US government cutting funding to these schools but more importantly this is spreading the conflict beyond the campus we have seen physical attacks outside of Campus we’ve seen an ex escalation and rhetoric and violence outside of Campus by these pramas demonstrators and the failure of these universities to do anything about it is just creating a system where the campus space is occupied by terrorist supporters and everyone else whether it’s Jewish other minority students or American students have to coward and fear and avoid campus this is unacceptable these colleges have failed and action needs to be taken now and these impacts are broadening as you mentioned but looking even further abroad do you think that they could impact the negotiations somehow or the US’s stance in relation to Israel’s negotiations they absolutely do impact the negotiations and that Hamas sees what they perceive as support in the United States on college campuses they see that their strategy of being violent and and terrorist attacks terrorist aggression against civilians is working that they’re getting bu In from from students in America who should know better but don’t and that this is changing the calculus in America it’s creating Anarchy In America and Hamas sees no reason to deviate from its strategy of continuing to attack Israel to continue taking hostages to continue terrorism because they see the destabilization of the American democratic system by our failure to address what’s happening on college campuses in city streets and do you think that it could actually have an impact on the upcoming US election I I think the impact on the US election will be profound I think that many Democrats are dissatisfied that President Biden is not doing more for the Palestinians but many Americans Independents Republicans and even Democrats are disgusted by the lack of Law and Order and by the aggression that’s taking place targeting our students this will not bode well for the Biden Administration unless decisive action is taken to deal with this lawlessness okay and um just finally Gerard do you have any thoughts on this that you want to add for our viewers before we finish up I I I think that we all need to ask the government to step in and do what it means to do the law law enforcement needs to enforce the laws and stop these protests from escalating into violence and from infringing on the civil rights of Jewish students and all Americans and ultimately just like we did in the civil rights movement of 1950s and 60s the National Guard May well have to come out to preserve order and help the American people uphold all of our rights to be free from this violence all right Gerard feli civil and human rights attorney and Senior councel at the law fair project thank you so much thank you and we have more on the college protests across the country Pro Palestine and pro-israel demonstrators clashed on the campus of UCLA in Los Angeles yesterday here’s the story as the size of the pro Palestinian encampment at UCLA expanded in recent Days Counter protesters have become increasingly vocal and visible on the campus a university spokesperson said demonstrators knocked over a barrier used to separate the two groups leading to Violent clashes on Sunday members of both factions traded punches and shouted slogans until campus police eventually separated them Los Angeles police were not involved in quelling the disturbance a representative of the campus police said and no arrests were made UCLA said the demonstrations involved at least some people from outside the university in a statement the University Administration said quote UCLA has a long history of being a place of peaceful protest and we are heartbroken about the violence that broke out Los Angeles mayor Karen bass spoke to the media on Sunday well I mean as mayor people have the right uh to for Free Speech but you know hate speech uh anti-Semitism all of that is just is unacceptable all students on the campus need to feel safe in the past two weeks anti-israel protest has spread to college campuses across the US they were triggered in part by the mass arrest of over a 100 People at Columbia University in New York over a week ago in the nation’s capit anti-israel protesters spent a fourth day demonstrating at George Washington University demonstrators there have built an encampment containing dozens of tents they say they do not plan to move until their demands are met they want the university to divest from any business that financially supports Israel the University of Southern California reported property damage by protesters Saturday administrators said demonstrators vandalized a statue in a fountain on campus they also report that protesters declined offers that the University City president May to meet with them officials at USC cancel their mainstage graduation they say there isn’t enough time to process guests with their new safety measures in place administrators of various schools have said the protest breaks school rules

majorly affect your long-term Health let’s start with number one hydration dehydration occurs when we use more body fluids than we take in our bodies are then able to carry out normal functions dehydration can lead to many different problems including decreased kidney function and kidney damage skin problems infections increase severity of arthritis decreased motivation and decreased overall living skills keep water handy at all times and even treat it like a prescription to ensure adequate consumption number two posture one issue is kyphosis or the forward rounding or curvature of the upper back muscular weakness and bad posture habits are common causes forward head postures can cause stiff muscles and back pain which could even require surgery exercises designed to strengthen postural muscles can help to prevent it number three on the list sleep good sleep is essential but millions of people don’t get enough of it technology is ruining the Sleep patterns of many especially children going without enough sleep contributes to Chronic health problems including high blood pressure high cholesterol type 2 diabetes metabolic syndrome kidney disease heart disease stroke obesity

to identify the causes of your stress and determine a course of action to deal with it on our next episode of strong mind and body we will look at four more ways to strengthen your health remember prevention is better than cure another unusual story a veterinarian in Berlin has a big heart for raccoons her nonprofit company has launched a pilot program to help control Berlin’s growing raccoon population veterinarians in Berlin are often the first point of contact for police and fire departments when it comes to caring for injured or orphaned animals Matilda Lininger’s raccoon friendly project is backed by the Berlin Senate the habitat she provides is usually necessary for the raccoon survival the raccoons that end up with us are taken from nature without exception these are raccoons in need of help mostly puppies the youngest ones we have right now are 3 days old so we know the story of almost all of them the little ones that came just yesterday will lay in an incubator for 2 days we don’t know yet whether they will survive the mother had five puppies she carried three away and left two behind once the raccoons are deemed healthy they are neutered and released back into the wild as part of the project we are allowed to release the Neutered raccoons again and that is also important because we want to count whether the neutering is successful we want to count The Offspring and of course we can only do that if we let the raccoons out again she realizes her program may be controversial to some it’s always said that the raccoon polarizes that’s really true I don’t like hearing that but it’s really true on the one hand there are those who say this is an animal it has a right to life it is very very intelligent it is very capable of suffering we cannot kill it we brought it here we have to learn to live with it because we can’t get rid of it anyway we have to find options and there are others who say he doesn’t belong here and has to go the raccoon is a North American animal originally brought to Central Europe for fur farming they were initially kept on fur Farms but later reproduced in the wild due to factors like a lack of natural enemies and their adaptability they’ve also spread significantly in Germany lingers Association estimates there are over 1 million raccoons in Germany and raccoons in Germany have been officially named an invasive species they’re seen as a threat to the diversity of native species and may be hunted a Nebraska couple didn’t let a tornado cancel their wedding plans when a tornado tore through their town

the weekend and the footage of Devastation left by a deadly tornado that hit a major city there [Music] this is NTD news today live from our NTD Global headquarters here are Stephania Cox and Chris beers we have more updates on the Israel Hamas War mediators are stepping up efforts to reach a ceasefire deal and a delegation from the Hamas terror group will visit Cairo today for talks Hamas has before it a proposal that is extraordinarily extraordinarily generous uh on the part of Israel and In This Moment the only thing standing between the people of Gaza and a ceasefire is Hamas they have to decide and they have to decide quickly uh so we’re we’re looking to that um and I’m hopeful that they will make the right decision Hamas negotiators are expected to deliver a response to the phased truth truth proposal Israel presented over the weekend Hamas will also discuss its own ceasefire proposal to mediators from Qatar and Egypt the US and allies are calling on Hamas to accept Israel’s proposal this comes as Anthony blinkin begins his Middle East trip with a meeting in Saudi Arabia today he will visit Jordan and Israel later Israel on the other hand is voicing concern over the international criminal court it says the court could be preparing arrest warrants for Israeli officials for alleged violations of international law Israel’s foreign minister said the country will not be deterred and will continue to fight and inside Gaza World Central Kitchen is resuming operations while the US and Jordan Air dropped another round of Aid standing up to the Chinese Communist Regime can have serious economic consequences for some countries but the US is providing guidance to Nations under pressure from China according to a Bloomberg report the report says it all started in 2021 when Beijing tried to retaliate against Lithuania which had just opened a diplomatic office with Taiwan Washington decided to intervene at that point it Formed an eight member team called the firm inside the state department now the group helps countries when China deploys economic and trade tactics to solve political disputes the report says since then countries across Asia Africa Latin America and Europe have requested advice on how to deal with or ready themselves for economic strains caused by China threats to us infrastructure FBI director Christopher Ray said last week that the Chinese Communist Party poses a broad an unrelenting threat to us Telecom energy and water infrastructure to help us understand the severity of his statements we’re joined by Casey Fleming CEO of Black Ops Partners good to have you Casey how serious were Ray’s remarks last week very serious you’ve never heard the FBI come out and make comments uh about security but Christopher Ray has been coming out for the past four years and the most recent comments are uh Code Red they’re level red at this point you’re talking about shutting down infrastructure to put fear into Americans and kill their ability to want to fight and defend their country so this is a wartime situation and people need to be aware of it can you say a little bit more about this risk I mean what how how are they targeting US national infrastructure they’re targeting water supply uh Wastewater Supply uh telecommunications you name it it’s uh entire infrastructure that we’re powered by our entire economy is powered by computers electricity and so on so your your electricity your water all that is uh is being targeted they’ve been in our networks for a very long period of time uh to engage at a time and place of their choosing not ours wow and and Casey what can be done uh both publicly and in the private sector to deal with this well number one we need a private and public partnership with companies most of our of our infrastructure is managed and driven by uh private companies they need to work with the federal government we all have to understand that the threat is absolutely real this is what World War II looks like it’s at the speed of technology and the stealth of unrestricted Warfare which is the CCP strategy so we have to have a whole of nation response to a whole of nation attack and it’s not just uh China Russia’s behind it they’re in partnership with Russia Iran North Korea and Pakistan is anything being done to facilitate this kind of partnership you’re talking about uh yes it’s it’s preliminary there is not a solid thread we’re on different pages from the private side and the public side uh it’s it’s got to be more of a governmental directive uh putting everybody on the same page it’s a call to action and it has not been a call to action up until this point how close are we to any kind of major Cyber attack on us infrastructure we’re already there they’re doing dry runs now with different parts of our infrastructure again it’s in conjunction with Russia and China uh and remember the China there’s only one China and it’s completely controlled by the CCP so again this is what war looks like uh I can’t tell you if it’s going to be next week or next month or within the next year but it’s coming it’s here and it’s here now now it seems like almost every story we do is somehow affected by artificial intelligence these days with the technology ramping up uh very quickly um how is artificial intelligence or is artificial intelligence at play in this cyber threat to our infrastructure 100% on the defensive side we’re using artificial intelligence and it gets better every day but on the offensive side the attack side it’s getting better every day as well so it’s very difficult to protect an infrastructure because all you need is one attack to get through and then you’re down so we have to protect against thousands of attacks and again one can take you down and Casey just in closing the DHS announced Friday it’s creating a uh a cross industry panel to deal with the hacking threats to us infrastructure like we’re talking about how is this panel shaping up so far in your opinion too little too late should have been done 10 years ago and we should have been much more prepared for where we are today and on top of that we’ve got to clean up our government our business and get everybody aligned on this wartime footing that the CCP has absolutely leveled on the rest of the world and what else would you recommend no foreign influence ban all types of foreign influence any type of monetary transactions any type of Technology you must assume that all technology from China is weaponized against the free world and it and uh uh it’s it could not be worse at this point I think as a country we’re waking up way too late which we always do in a wartime situation but we always rally and come back but every American needs to understand that this is very serious especially when Christopher Ray the director of the FBI comes out uh and says hey in his entire career he’s never seen all every Silo lit up and extremely active and at the level the red level and the the predominant one is the Chinese Communist party and the Chinese uh offensive measures that they’re taking against the us all right Casey Fleming CEO of Black Ops Partners good to have you back on the show have a great day you too thank you officials in one Georgia County are using laptops and cellular networks to connect to the state’s voter registration system that’s because last week a Cyber attack struck coffee County’s computer Network the hackers are not believed to have gotten into Georgia’s voter registration system but the county cut off its connection to

good morning because we want you to stay informed kick start your morning with the latest you missed overnight right and don’t forget that inspiration absolutely so let shine some light on the good news too tune in every weekday morning to NTD [Music] news welcome back now to the anti-israel protests that are spreading across college campuses Across the Nation at Columbia University where the first encampment started the school says negotiations with protesters have stalled in a statement today Colombia asked student protesters to voluntarily disperse the school said it’s exploring alternative options to quote end this crisis as soon as possible the university also said it will hold the commencement and will not divest from Israel which is what protesters are demanding also today a group of 21 house Democrats wrote to Colombia’s Board of Trustees and demanded they disband the encampment or step down hundreds of anti-israel protesters have been arrested at college campuses across the US from UCLA to Virginia Tech the food charity World Central Kitchen says it will resume operations in Gaza today this comes four weeks after an Israeli military strike killed wck Aid workers in the Gaza Strip and joining us to discuss the phone call between Biden and Netanyahu is and more is Gerard F senior and civil and human rights attorney and Senior counsel at the law fair project and political strategist jard welcome and to begin with could this conversation do you think Mark a turning point I think this conversation is marking a turning point in to some extent Biden is tempering his rhetoric when it comes to Israel defending itself I think the United States has come to see that Israel does have a pressing need to eliminate the last Hamas stronghold in Rafa and the discussions now Center on how Israel will achieve that objective not whether it will do so so this marks a subtle change in American policy perspective from the last few weeks where the Biden Administration was previously completely opposed to a grand invasion of Rafa and now there discussing with Netanyahu the terms under which this will happen so as a human rights attorney how do you see the negotiations with Hamas for hostages you know they are terrorists what do you think will get them back it’s very hard to say what will get them back other than concerted military effort to liberate them we’ve seen this crisis drag on for nearly eight months now without any end in sight Hamas has been playing games with kidnapped hostages they have not released all of them in violation of international law even now they’ve rejected a very generous offer by the Israeli government to to exchange hostages in exchange for a prolonged period of of non-conflict and the release of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails Hamas is essentially using these hostages as a bargaining chip to bring World opinion against Israel for its continued efforts in Gaza and Hamas is not likely to give up these hostages because it has no reason to do so now I just want to look at this issue like within the US of course anti-israel protests are continuing and even ramping up on college campuses across the US in your view how are these schools doing and upholding the civil rights of students and what legal protections exist for both protesters and you know Jewish students on campus these schools are categorically failing not just their Jewish students but all of their students they’re failing to uphold their policies and rules about protests and demonstrations they’re not doing anything about the continued harassment Target in discrimination and violence against Jewish and other students this is violating these students civil rights which is actionable in a court of law this can result in the US government cutting funding to these schools but more importantly this is spreading the conflict beyond the campus we have seen physical attacks outside of Campus we’ve seen an ex escalation and rhetoric and violence outside of Campus by these pramas demonstrators and the failure of these universities to do anything about it is just creating a system where the campus space is occupied by terrorist supporters and everyone else whether it’s Jewish and other minority students or American students have to cower and fear and avoid campus this is unacceptable these colleges have failed and action needs to be taken now and these impacts are broadening as you mentioned but looking even further abroad do you think that they could impact the negotiations somehow or the US’s stance in relation to Israel’s negotiations they absolutely do impact the negotiations and that Hamas sees what they perceive as support in the United States on college campuses they see that their strategy of being violent and and terrorist attacks terrorist aggression against civilians is working that they’re getting by In from from students in America who should know better but don’t and that this is changing the calculus in America it’s creating Anarchy In America and Hamas sees no reason to deviate from its strategy of continuing to attack Israel to continue taking hostages to continue terrorism because they see the destabilization of the American democratic system by our failure to address what’s happening on college campuses in city streets and do you think that it could actually have an impact on the upcoming US election I I think the impact on the US election will be profound I think that many Democrats are dissatisfied that President Biden is not doing more for the Palestinians but many Americans Independents Republicans and even Democrats are disgusted by the lack of Law and Order and by the aggression that’s taking place targeting our students this will not bode well for the Biden Administration unless decisive action is taken to deal with this lawlessness okay and um just finally Gerard do you have any thoughts on this that you want to add for our viewers before we finish up I I think that we all need to ask the government to step in and do what it means to do the law law enforcement needs to enforce the laws and stop these protests from escalating into violence and from infringing on the civil rights of Jewish students and all Americans and ultimately just like we did in the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 60s the National Guard May well have to come out to preserve order and help the American people uphold all of rights to be free from this violence all right Gerard felii civil and human rights attorney and Senior council at the law fair project thank you so much thank you President Biden hosted journalists at the annual White House correspondent dinner Saturday night where he took swipes at his rival former president Trump outside the event Pro Palestine demonstrators greeted guests with chance accusing Biden of being complicit in genocide entities’s Jeremy Sandberg has more Joe Biden President Biden

against a six-year-old Trump reacted on Truth social by calling President Biden crooked Joe and saying the event was quote an absolute disaster Biden’s tone changed when speaking about what’s at stake in this year’s election he highlighted the role of the press at a time he said is rif with sensationalism I’m sincerely not asking of you to take sides but I’m asking you to rise up to the seriousness of the moment move past the horse race numbers and the gotcha moments and the distractions the sides shows Biden also mentioned Russian President Vladimir Putin urging him to release American journalist Evan gershkovich who has been imprisoned in Russia for over a year the event was hosted by Saturday Night Live cast member Colin Joost he poked fun at the attendees including correspondents

isolationist discussion McConnell says the issue within the Democratic party is that some party members are being anti-semitic earlier this year the senator announced that he would step down as the Republican leader at the end of this Congress he says his main focus after that that will be to tackle isolationism he wants to bring his colleagues around to his way of thinking about foreign policy McConnell’s comments come after the Senate voted to pass a $95 billion foreign aid bill the bill passed after months of delays many House Republicans criticize the senate for allowing the bill to pass that’s because it doesn’t allocate any money to the southern border and one of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach former president Trump has dropped his bid for a senate seat former

news and joining us now as nd’s business matters host Don M to give us the latest updates from the tech and business World Don hey good to see you Chris as well of course Don ma what’s happening out there in the business world today well Chris guess what the Japanese Yen plummeting uh to 160 yen versus uh the US dollar here so this was for the first time in 34 years and uh it happened today for a brief period uh it started last week actually but uh the the the story is that today the Yen jumped back to around the 150s uh this is on suspected intervention from from Tokyo so Traders had been on edge for any signs of action uh from Japan to prop up their currency that has fallen by the way 11% against the dollar so far this year um this is even as a historic exit uh from negative rates of Japan’s Central Bank if you remember that uh it has failed to lift the currency so you know a weaker yen is a boon for Japanese exporters uh so that’s important but on the other hand it’s a headache for policy makers because it increases import costs and think about that if Imports are more expensive that’s going to add to inflationary pressures and it’s going to squeeze Japanese household so you know this is not a very good sign but you know the bank of Japan is not mandated mandated to manage the currency but uh weekend does uh complicate its objective of achieving sustainable inflation uh it can’t really raise rates quickly either for the fear that uh potentially destabilizing Japan’s heavily indebted government and economy economy just like the US doesn’t want to keep its interest rates higher for too long because of our national debt yeah Don we were talking a moment ago before we came live about you know why this brief drop in the value of the Yen can you say a bit about that well it could be due to a number of factors here right so a lot of moving Parts here and I wouldn’t assign to this drop to any particular one but I’ll mention some of them here so we have uh some are arguing the weakness of the Japanese economy could be a contrib contributing factor right here uh the strength of the US economy could be another Factor uh High interest rates in the United States and talk from Central Bankers that interest rates could stay higher for longer so all these factors potentially more that I haven’t mentioned just now all playing into uh into this uh what’s happening now of the plum taking of the Japanese Yan yeah it’s a complex picture um but you also have something for us about the uh energy industry and this transition to solar which of course could potentially impact a lot of things as well what can you tell us about Farmland yeah so switching topics here to uh to the green energy transition so what what’s happening apparently is that uh as solar capacity grows some of America’s most productive Farmland is at risk um and this this is due to a renewable energy boom uh and that risks damaging some of America’s richest soil in key key Farm States like Indiana for example uh and all this is according to a Reuters investigation uh and what this looked at it was pretty comprehensive it was through analysis of federal state and local data uh and as well as hundreds of pages of Court records and interviews with more than 100 energy and soil scientists agriculture economists as well as Farmers farmland owners local state and federal lawmakers pretty comprehensive uh so it found that around .2% of all crop land in the US in some capacity intersected uh in some way with solar panel sites um so some agricultural economists because of that are saying that even small amounts of best crop land out of production um or for example damaging valuable top soil will impact for future crop uh potential in the United States all right Don ma thank you as always thank you thanks Don Elon Musk made an unannounced visit to Beijing over the weekend the visit was to discuss the roll out of full self-driving software and permission to transfer data overseas that’s according to Reuters citing a person with knowledge of the matter full self-driving software or FSD is the most autonomous version of Tesla’s autopilot software launched four years ago however the US Electric Vehicle maker has yet to make it available in China its second largest market globally musk said this month Tesla may make FSD available to customers in China very soon industry experts say the complicated and busy traffic conditions in China provide more scenarios that are key for training autonomous driving algorithms at a faster Pace but Tesla is grappling with falling sales and an intensifying price War for EVS led by Chinese Brands there are also safety concerns Tesla recalled more than 2 million vehicles in the United States in December to install new autopilot safeguards US Auto Safety Regulators said on Friday they’d opened an investigation into whether that was adequate following a series of crashes Tesla Shares are down almost a third since the

there then good afternoon to you Iris first of all tell us what the big night was all about good afternoon to both of you so the white correspondence Association Center has a long tradition it’s been happening since 1921 and its purpose is to bring together journalists and politicians for a night of friendly Jabs and to raise money for student scholarships and of course there were a lot of Hollywood stars that we saw at Saturday night as well and but the point is really to celebrate the codependent relationship between reporters and politicians which of course includes the president himself yeah it’s been a year since I delivered this speech and my wife Jill was with me tonight was worried how I do I told her don’t worry just like riding a bike says that’s what I’m worried about

narratives no matter what your political perspective is for the day’s top headlines in the news you need to know tune in right here to NTD evening [Music] news and now for your sports news we’re joined by nd’s very own Dave Martin Dave let’s start with the NBA uh the Phoenix Suns came the first team eliminated and uh they got swept by Minnesota they were expected to be able to compete for the title what happened here you know I wasn’t really a big fan of the movie M they made in the off season to begin with you know basically they traded Chris Paul for Bradley beill both are All-Star players Bill though is like eight years younger and carries a much bigger contract But Bill’s more of a shooter Paul’s more of a distributor with the ball and even though Paul’s getting up there in years he still makes a significant impact with his passing and his ball handling so I thought they needed to get someone to replace those skills I mean Phoenix already has two great Shooters and Kevin Durant and Devin Booker both had great games yes yesterday I think they combined for like 82 points it was not enough and now Minnesota’s into the second round I don’t know where Phoenix goes from here you know I don’t think you can run the same team back next year and expect better results um but they’ve got somewhat limited options with all that big contracts or carrying okay now Dave another series you’ve highlighted is between the Lakers and the nuggets the Lakers finally won Saturday to to force a game five does it seem like a foregone conclusion that the Nuggets close out this year tonight I mean you would think so they’re playing at home but you know and nobody’s ever come down from being in an 03 hole like the Lakers were after three games but you know the Lakers have actually LED more in this series than Denver has in whole I mean granted it only matters who has the lead at the end and that really only means that Denver has played better in the second half but these have not been blowout games really you know Anthony Davis has had quite a series for the Lakers ditto for LeBron James he’s been really good too despite being 39 I don’t think that should go unnoticed I think it’s also important for Den that they come out with a lot more aggressiveness you know they’ve kind of developed this habit from playing from behind but you never want to like count on that happening every game it can got kind of give you a false sense of hope so I think all eyes will be on this game tonight Dave look let’s look at the NFL the draft concluded on Saturday um one of the popular criticisms was direct directed at the Buffalo Bills for making a trade with their rival the Kansas City Chiefs what do you make of that yeah I don’t I don’t agree with the criticism like you said the criticism the bills might have helped out their Rivals by swapping their first round picks it was like their 28th for this the chief the third Chiefs at the 32nd but to do it they also swapped picks in the fourth rounds and the seventh rounds that allowed the bills to move up both times so it was give and take I mean they didn’t do it for free of course now also both Kansas City and buffalo needed receivers so both teams then took them with their first picks Kansas City took zavier worthy out of Texas Buffalo then took Keon Coleman out of Florida State five picks later but if the feels like you know wory better they they surely would not have made this deal I’m sure as a condition of this trade you have to ask all right who you taking with this pick and if it’s you’re their guy they’re going to say no for sure now maybe the Chiefs you know do get the better of this deal but you have to look at the trade in total before judging it you know I don’t think it matters who you trade with either even if you’re if it’s your bitter rival you really can’t be afraid of making another team better in order to make your own team better my opinion only all right Dave Martin thank you as always thanks guys thanks Dave and next up theater goers in Newark New Jersey discovered 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture and values over the weekend at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center inspired by China’s Rich Heritage the new york-based shenin Performing Arts showcases stories that span across ancient times to modern times one audience member shared that he took his daughter to the show so that she can understand the challenges that are faced in China and for her to be prepared for the future so that she can stand for Liberty and Divinity Shing Performing Arts hit the stage at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center with five performances over 3 days starting on April 25th the company tours the world with a mission to rekindle 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture and values from a time before communism I think that there’s a lot of value in traditional culture so I think it’s it’s a good Mission I think it’s important for it to maintain positivity the a mission like that the stories that were explained before each of the dances was just wonderful to to share the culture and to understand all of the things that happened before communism so it it’s very important for people to learn um you know about a culture and not just about the present but also all the history I think from their passion of of um showing you know making everybody understand the the past you know what China had um and what’s been destroyed yeah so that you can really tell that they are are looking to uh make everybody understand you know how beautiful um you know it was inspired by China’s vast history shun tells stories of myths and legends along with true stories concerning the Communist regime’s current persecution of faith I saw you know again like the spiritual practices are being uh you know persecuted over there um it’s hard for them to to live in total freedom you know so you know hopefully you know God willing these guys keep up the good work and you know just uh you make China uh you know more more prosperous and more free and able to live You Know Better Lives you know the message of uh Divinity and um the idea that my daughter needs to know that communism isn’t China and the spirit and the history survives despite uh the challenges we’re in today’s day and age it needs to be the message needs to be spread right and that’s why I need my daughter at 8 years old to start to understand in a small way uh that um the the challenges that are faced in China we need to understand it so she can be prepared for the future so she can can stand for Liberty and and Divinity through the medium of classical Chinese dance music and storytelling shing’s performances also Embrace themes of spirituality which is found at the core of traditional Chinese culture I guess I feel that the Creator’s always here offering salvation in all circumstances in a way like I say if we’re able to see it because this is um this is just the the physical form here but the spiritual form is always present it doesn’t matter whether you’re Christian or or anything honestly the spirituality comes through and it connects with people and um it’s a way to explain to the American people and and all people that um the value of Independence and freedom and and a belief in God Shing will next perform in Stanford Connecticut from May 9th to the 12th NTD News New
