The stories that matter, clear and credible from across the country to around the world
0:33
These are your unbiased updates from Straight Arrow. Good morning, I'm Craig DeGrelli
0:41
This morning, President Trump is turning up the pressure on Iran, saying the clock is ticking while a fragile ceasefire remains in place, at least for now
0:50
His comments come as fresh drone attacks are now raising new concerns across the region
0:55
The United Arab Emirates says its only nuclear power plant caught fire Sunday after what officials called an unprovoked terrorist attack
1:04
No group has claimed responsibility, but the UAE foreign ministry says the attack came from the western border direction
1:12
Saudi Arabia, which sits to the UAE's west, says its air defenses intercepted three drones it believes entered from Iraqi airspace
1:20
In a statement, the UAE called the attack a dangerous escalation and a direct threat to the country's security
1:27
Meanwhile, markets are reacting to Trump's latest warning to Iran. In his Truth Social post, the president wrote that time is of the essence and said there may be nothing left if a deal isn't reached
1:39
Oil prices moved higher and stocks fell early this morning with Brent crude climbing above $110 a barrel
1:47
while U.S. benchmark crude pushed past $100. The World Health Organization has now declared the Ebola outbreak in Congo and Uganda
1:56
a global health emergency after cases spread across borders. Health officials say the outbreak is being driven by the Bundy Bujo strain of Ebola
2:07
a version of the virus with no approved vaccine or treatment. Congo has reported 246 suspected cases and at least 80 deaths Sufferers have also been confirmed in Uganda including one death in the capital city of Kampala
2:22
The CDC is also assessing reports that at least six Americans in Congo
2:27
may have been exposed to the virus. Reports say several involved high-risk exposure
2:32
though officials have not confirmed infections. The CDC says the risk to the American public remains low
2:38
The WHO says this does not meet the threshold for a pandemic emergency, but warns the outbreak may be larger than current numbers show
2:48
Now to the other health scare making headlines. The international cruise ship at the center of the deadly Hantavirus outbreak arrived in the Dutch port city of Rotterdam this morning
2:58
The MV Hondias spent the past six days traveling from the Spanish Canary Islands
3:04
where health officials escorted remaining passengers off the ship and sent them back to their home countries for quarantine
3:10
Officials say the crew members and medical staff still on board will leave the ship in stages
3:15
before the Hondias undergoes a thorough cleaning and disinfection process. Currently, all the crew members aboard, there are still 25 people aboard and this nurse and the doctor
3:28
and they all are free of any symptoms. They have taken blood samples, and as soon as the vessel is arriving in the Rotterdam Port
3:38
then they first, these test material will go to the lab for testing
3:43
Meanwhile, Canadian health officials say a passenger who was on board the ship
3:47
has tested positive for Hantavirus and remains hospitalized in isolation. Officials say the passenger's travel companion reported mild symptoms
3:57
but tested negative for the virus. Investigators are now trying to figure out what caused two Navy jets to collide in midair
4:05
during an air show in Idaho. Remarkably, all four crew members survived
4:10
Military officials say both aircraft EA-18G Growlers were flying in an aerial demonstration
4:16
Sunday just after noon near Mountain Home Air Force Base. Video from the scene captured the jets slamming into each other, then falling together before
4:25
erupting into a fireball right there on impact while four parachutes opened above the crash site Officials say all four aviators are in stable condition No spectators were heard Military officials locked down the base after the crash
4:39
with thousands of attendees held in place for several hours so emergency crews could reach the scene
4:46
Aviation safety expert Jeff Gazzetti told the Associated Press surviving a collision like this is unusual
4:52
He believes the aircraft may have stayed entangled briefly, giving the crews enough time to eject
4:59
The Navy is now leading the investigation into what went wrong in midair
5:04
Tomorrow's Republican primary in Kentucky has turned into a political brawl between President Trump and one of his most outspoken GOP critics
5:13
Congressman Thomas Massey says outside money from billionaires is trying to push him out of office
5:18
Trump says it's time for Kentucky voters to do it themselves. Kentucky's fourth district race is now the most expensive House primary in U.S. history
5:27
with more than $25 million spent on television, digital, and radio ads
5:32
Massey is facing former Navy SEAL Ed Galrine, who earned Trump's endorsement before officially entering the race
5:39
The president unloaded on Massey on Truth Social Sunday, writing, quote, Tom Massey of Kentucky, the worst and most unreliable Republican congressman in the history of our country
5:50
Massey has repeatedly broken with Trump on key issues, such as the big beautiful bill and the release of the Epstein files
5:57
He says this race has become bigger than just a primary fight. Here he is on ABC Sunday
6:03
How did this race become the most expensive race in the history of Congress for a primary
6:09
It's because three billionaires from outside of Kentucky have funneled millions of dollars in here
6:14
They're trying to buy a seat. But you can tell that I'm ahead in the polls and they're desperate
6:19
That's why they're sending the secretary of war to my district tomorrow
6:23
That's why the president's losing sleep and tweeting about this. Massey is not the only Republican lawmaker in Trump's crosshairs
6:30
Senator Bill Cassidy lost his primary fight in Louisiana on Saturday. Cassidy was just one of seven Republican senators who voted to convict Trump during his impeachment trial in 2021
6:42
Voters also head to the polls in five other states tomorrow Georgia Alabama Idaho Oregon and Pennsylvania Finally this morning a historic discovery in Thailand After four decades of dinosaur research
6:56
scientists say they've uncovered what may be the longest-necked creature ever found in Southeast Asia
7:02
The lead author of the study is calling it the last titan of Thailand
7:07
A skeletal reconstruction shows just how massive this thing may have been
7:11
Its scientific name is Nagatitan chayafamunsis, a plant-eating soropod that roamed the Earth roughly 100 to 120 million years ago
7:23
Researchers made the discovery after finding fossils embedded in rock formations. They excavated 10 bones, including a front leg bone that stretched about 6 feet long, taller than most people, really
7:34
They also estimate the dinosaur weighed around 27 tons. That's about twice the size of today's largest elephants
7:43
And by the way, Thailand has become something of a dinosaur hotspot
7:48
producing some of the most unusual prehistoric discoveries over the years. How about that? Literally a land of the lost
7:55
Before we head out, here's what we're tracking today. This morning, House investigators are set to interview Tova Knoll behind closed doors
8:02
Knoll was the corrections officer on duty the night Jeffrey Epstein died
8:06
as lawmakers continue digging into the case. At one, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth heads to Kentucky for a campaign stop
8:14
with Trump-backed candidate Ed Galrine ahead of tomorrow's primary. At three, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr
8:23
are expected to announce new steps targeting so-called forever chemicals known as PFAS
8:29
And at four, reality TV personality Joseph Duggar is scheduled to appear in court
8:34
