Newshour - The story of a little girl shot in Gaza

The BBC World Service has pieced together the story of two-year-old Layan al-Majdalawi, who was killed in Gaza in areas where the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) was operating. Layan is just one of more than 160 cases of children shot in the war in Gaza, for whom we have gathered accounts. The IDF told us they are examining the case, and that: "Intentional harm to civilians, especially children, is strictly prohibited."

Also the programme: President Trump announces he is imposing higher tax rates on imports to America from dozens of countries who've failed to reach a trade deal with him; and Chinese schoolgirl Yu Zidi becomes the youngest swimmer in history to win a medal at the World Aquatics Championships.

The Daily Signal - Can the EPA Help Undo Virginia’s Climate Mandates?


This week EPA administrator Lee Zeldin began the process of negating the 2009 “Endangerment Finding” that was, as President Obama called it, the ‘Holy Grail of Climate Change Regulation.’ This was where the idea that the very byproduct of Human existence, Carbon Dioxide, could be regulated as a pollutant.


So, here in Viginia we have the Virginia Clean Economy Act that was passed in 2020 by the Democrat-majority General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Ralph Northam. If you have heard about “California-ing Virginia,” this is the act that did that. Connecting Virginia’s environmental regulations to California’s including getting to “net zero” carbon emissions by 2030. This law also put a stop to new electric generating facilities being built to replace retiring ones despite the demand skyrocketing.


What does the EPA’s action mean for this law? Can it be repealed? Overturned in court? We sit down with analyst for the Thomas Jefferson Institute Steve Haner to find out.
