[00:40] Anthony adds further context, mentioning that a woman employed by the NFL, whose offices are housed within the affected building, was seriously injured. The perpetrator was identified as a 27-year-old individual from Las Vegas with a known history of mental health issues.

He references recent successes in foreign policy, including the cessation of a conflict between Thailand and Cambodia. However, the news remains clouded with continued violence as at least 22 people have been reported dead in Ukraine following new Russian military attacks.
5. Escalation of Conflict in Ukraine
[01:32] Jonathan Savage provides an update on the situation in Ukraine, noting that President Vladimir Zelensky has expressed deep concern over the recent surge in violence.

[03:17] Acting ICE Director Todd Lyon provides further details, explaining, "There are 214 illegal immigrants who've either been convicted or charged with sex crimes against children who have been arrested in Houston. Many of these individuals have previously been deported multiple times."
[03:35] Chief Crawford emphasizes the impact of these actions, stating, "That should just show the American public that we are out there going after the worst of the worst. And this is what Americans want. This is what Americans voted for."
