The part of the Israeli military that oversees aid, known as cogat, claims the report by UN Backed experts is unprofessional. It says it ignores Israeli data on deliveries of aid into Gaza and overlooks a recent increase in food supplies by a US And Israeli backed group, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. The Israeli position on the humanitarian situation in Gaza, though, remains remains at odds with leading aid groups. Over 100 aid organizations recently said increasingly restrictive Israeli regulation on their operations in Gaza is leaving millions of dollars worth of food, medicine, water and shelter items stranded in warehouses while Palestinians starve.

A tour bus returning to New York City from Niagara Falls crashed on an interstate highway today, killing at least five people and sending about two dozen others to the hospital. The accident happened near PE, about 25 miles east of Buffalo. Police say the driver lost control, went into a median and ended up in a ditch. People inside were ejected as the windows shattered. The driver survived. The cause of the accident is under investigation. President Trump and chipmaker intel say the U.S. government is taking a 10% stake in the company, worth about $11 billion. As NPR's John Ruich reports, the unusual deal marks an escalation in the Trump administration's efforts to bring cutting edge Chipmak back to the U.S. trump dialed up.

Pressure on Intel CEO Lip Bhutan this month, saying he should resign after reports surfaced about his connections to Chinese companies. A few days later, Tan visited the White House. Trump says he came in wanting to keep his job and agreed to let the US government take a 10% stake in the Santa Clara, California, based company. Intel says the government will not have board representation or other governance rights. The government's also agreed to vote with the company's board on matters that require shareholder approval with limited exceptions on social media. Trump called it a great deal for America and Intel and says building leading edge semiconductors and chips, which is what intel does, is fundamental to the future of our nation.

Traditionally, the Justice Department has been independent from the White House when it comes to investigations and prosecutions, and that's to make sure that decisions are not and do not appear to be driven by politics. And so concerns about politics driving decisions now are not just because of Bolton. I'll remind you that the Justice Department recently opened investigations into two other prominent Trump critics, California Democratic Senator Adam Schiff and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

It is dangerously hot in Southern California, with temperatures nearing or over 100 degrees in many parts of the region. Public health officials are urging people to limit their activity outside and to drink lots of water, especially because temperatures are not dipping that much overnight. Heat becomes increasingly dangerous for people when their bodies can't recover at night. It also raises the risk of extreme wildfire.
