Today is Tuesday, July 14th. We'll tell you what's changed now that the on again, off again war between the US And Iran seems to be officially on again. And another deadly ice shooting is causing more questions and backlash. Also, health officials have pointed to a possible source of that outbreak causing a stomach illness around the country. Plus which cities broke all time heat records this week? Who won the home run derby ahead of today's all star game and why thousands of people just pretended to be bald. Those stories and even more news coming up. Welcome to the newsworthy all the days news in less than 15 minutes. I'm Erica. Mandy, thanks so much for being here. Let's do this. The US And Iran have effectively gone back to a state of full on war. President Trump formally notified Congress that the conflict resumed and and that gave the Pentagon 60 days to use US forces without Congress actually declaring war. At this point, it's not clear if Congress will actually take that step, but either way, the Trump administration could do a lot in 60 days again. Yesterday the US launched strikes against Iran and that came after military officials announced they had already struck more than 300 Iranian military targets in the last week. Also yesterday, President Trump declared the US Will reimpose the naval blockade on ships going to and from Iran and including all Iranian ports, and that the US Will take over the Strait of Hormuz and charge a 20% fee on all cargo shipped through the trade route. That comes despite the fact that his administration took the position that those kinds of fees violate international law. When Iran threatened to charge them, oil prices once again spiked in response. It's not clear how this conflict will end since at this point, diplomatic negotiations don't seem to be making any real progress. In fact, Trump is now downplaying the importance of his own ceasefire that the White House had once called a historic breakthrough that could lead to broader peace across the Middle East. Yesterday, the President said agreements like that don't mean much. He plans to address the nation later this week. We now know who will replace US Senator Lindsey Graham, who died unexpectedly over the weekend. His younger sister, Darlene Graham Nordone was appointed to finish his Senate term with which ends in January. At an emotional news conference, she called it a privilege to get to finish her brother's work, framing it as something she could do for him when he had already done so much for her. The late Senator Graham took legal guardianship of his sister when he was 22 and she was 13. After both of their parents died. Graham Nordone will be sworn into her brother's seat this afternoon. It will make her the first woman to represent South Carolina in the Senate. Remember, Graham was also running for re election this fall, so a special Republican primary will be held next month to determine who will replace him on the ballot. The immigration crackdown is now facing fresh backlash since news broke of another deadly shooting at the hands of an ICE agent. This one happened yesterday in Maine, and ever since, crowds there have been gathered. In this instance, a 26 year old man from Colombia was shot and killed when Homeland Security officials say he refused to pull over for ICE officers. They say the man was trying to flee and that the officer feared for public safety, so he fired his weapon. As of this morning, the only video that's been shared shows what happened immediately after the shooting, but not what led up to it. Reports say none of the officers involved were wearing body cameras. At least one witness says the man was trying to hit an officer with his car, but others dispute that. The man who died has been identified as Johan Sebastian Guerrero, who lived in Maine with his wife and young daughter. Both were there when it happened. An immigrant rights group says Guerrero was authorized to work in the US and had been attending immigration court proceedings. Lawmakers are now calling for a full and impartial investigation. This comes less than a week after another ICE agent shot and killed a Mexican immigrant during a traffic stop in Texas. And there, prosecutors say the federal government is not sharing evidence with investigators, so they've issued subpoenas. Speaking of which, just yesterday the US Justice Department turned over evidence to Minnesota prosecutors to who are looking into the January deaths of Renee Good and Alex Preddy, also shot by immigration officers. State investigators will now be using that evidence to decide whether or not to charge federal agents with crimes in connection to the killings. To be continued, health officials believe they may have found a likely source of the parasite outbreak we've been telling you about. Michigan's health department is now pointing to lettuce or salad greens as a potential culprit. It recommends not getting bagged or premixed salads at all and to instead opt for whole heads of lettuce, throwing out the outer two or three layers and thoroughly rinsing the inner leaves, though it also caution their theory is not a definitive source and other foods still cannot be ruled out. So the advice stands to continue scrubbing all produce under running water to at least lessen the chance of getting sick. Health officials also recommend peeling produce with removable skin and cooking what you can, since high temperatures will kill the parasite. The cyclospiriasis outbreak has now risen to more than 3,000 cases in Michigan and Ohio alone, but more cases have been confirmed by state officials in 32 different states around the country. Although it's not clear whether all the cases are actually part of this outbreak, the CDC says no matter where you live, it is still a good idea to take precautions. Remember, infections can cause severe diarrhea and other symptoms that can linger for months if not treated with antibiotics. Extreme heat advisories are now in place from Los Angeles to Boston and beyond. Already, several cities in the west have recorded their hottest temperatures ever this week, like Salt Lake City, where Sunday's high came in at 109 degrees, or Billings, Montana, where it was 111. The upper Midwest is also extremely hot, and today this heat wave is expected to expand into the Great Lakes and Northeast while lingering in many other parts of the country. Then forecasts show it expanding even further into the Mid Atlantic and eventually the Southeast over the next couple of days. In the end, more than 100 million Americans are expected to feel the impacts before there is hopefully a little relief by the weekend. We have more news for you in just a moment, but first thanks to our sponsor.

And with that, some of the best baseball players in the world are showing off their skills. One of the most exciting All Star events happened last night with the Home Run Derby. It featured eight hitters competing for who could hit the most balls out of the park. And this year it was Jordan Walker who came out on top, becoming the first St. Louis cardinal to ever win the Home Run Derby. Tonight, it's onto the MLB All Star Game, pitting many of the best players against each other, like Juan Soto in the National League versus Bobby Witt Jr. In the American League. If the game is tied after nine innings, we'll see another Home Run Derby to determine the winner. The game kicks off at 8pm Eastern. This week's World cup semifinal game in Atlanta is being called the most high risk match of the whole tournament. That's because it's England versus Argentina, one of soccer's most intense rivalries. The two countries have decades of history that have given this matchup more emotional weight than most. So Atlanta police say they're now stepping up security. Extra officers, intelligence teams and security personnel been deployed both inside the stadium and across the city. One of their biggest concerns is unlike a lot of high risk matches overseas, most fans won't be separated by team with the World Cup. Some tickets were sold through the national soccer federations, but the majority were sold through FIFA. And that means England and Argentina fans could be sitting side by side throughout the stadium. To be clear, authorities say they don't have any specific or credible threats. And so far, this year's World cup has been largely peaceful. The next World cup game is the semifinal between France and Spain today in Arlington, Texas. Then the England Argentina game happens tomorrow. There's a new urgent warning about what artificial intelligence could do to the economy. It comes from more than 200 computer scientists and economists, including 16 Nobel laureates, researchers at OpenAI, Google and Anthropic and Anthropic's co founder. They all signed a letter titled we must act Now. It says AI could drive a larger economic transformation than the Industrial Revolution in a much shorter amount of time, raising questions for workers, companies and public institutions. So it calls for more research into AI's impact and for governments to prepare for risks like widespread job losses while building policies that make sure the technology benefits society as a whole. Some bills have already been introduced in Congress that address AI and the workforce, but this letter calls for something much broader, so stay tuned. One of the biggest media and entertainment mergers in history is now facing its most significant challenge yet. A group of 12 states is suing to keep Paramount Skydance from buying Warner Bros. Discovery. As we've told you, this merger not only puts two legacy movie and TV studios together, but also multiple news outlets, streaming platforms and cable networks. Think HBO, CNN, TNT, TBS and Food Network, along with CBS, MTV and Nickelodeon. And the U.S. justice Department has already given the okay, but critics believe this new lawsuit could still upend it. The suit says the merger would destroy competition, creating a massive company with unprecedented power and influence over news and entertainment worldwide. It says the deal would lead to higher prices, lower quality and less content for film and television. Paramount responded to say the suit is wrong on both the facts and the law. It says the merger will actually create a stronger media company that's better positioned to compete with industry heavyweights like Netflix and Bottom Line. Paramount plans to fight the lawsuit in court. The rapper Pitbull just helped set a Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people wearing bald caps. More than 22,000 of his fans showed up to his concert in London dressed like him, complete with aviator sunglasses, white shirts, black ties and yes, bald caps. And the bald cap record was just confirmed. It's actually not as random as it sounds though. Pitbull fans love dressing up as him in a tradition that's gone viral over the years. And they've given themselves a name, the Baldies. It's a play on bald eagles, which Pitbull has embraced. After the record was confirmed, Pitbull thanked the crowd and celebrated online, writing, we did it Baldies. Now his tour continues in Europe before returning to the US Next month.

Today's trivia question is why did Victorian era doctors prescribe beards? Listen again next Tuesday for the answer and explanation. As for last week's trivia question, what was America's first planned suburb? The answer is Levittown, New York. The development on Long island was constructed between 1947 and 1951, when veterans coming home from World War II were eager to start families. Real estate developer William Levitt and his family churned out more than 30 homes per day at their peak, all in a safe, affordable, family friendly community. In many ways, Levittown was seen as a symbol of post war optimism and domestic comfort, but it also reflected and reinforced racial inequalities, since at first Levittown explicitly excluded non white buyers and informal racial segregation was still the norm even after the US Supreme Court struck down those restrictions. Still, Levittown became a blueprint for the nation as a whole and other developers adopted their techniques. These days, more than half of all Americans live in suburbs, making them the largest type of community in the US thanks so much for joining us to get caught up on the news today. We so appreciate your support, whether that's sharing the show, leaving a review, or becoming a newsworthy insider. We'll be back tomorrow with the latest. Until then, have a great day.
