10
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>forecast coming up in traffic and weather. On the threes,

11
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:36.640
<v Speaker 1>President Trump says he is delaying the fifty percent tariffs

12
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:40.679
<v Speaker 1>on European on the European Union. Fiona MacDonald with the

13
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:41.759
<v Speaker 1>BBC has to tail.

14
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:45.240
<v Speaker 3>President Trump says he's granted the European Union another month

15
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:48.200
<v Speaker 3>to conclude a trade deal and avert the imposition of

16
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:52.000
<v Speaker 3>new sanctions. He threatened on Friday to impose taxes of

17
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:56.039
<v Speaker 3>fifty percent on European imports, but following a telephone call

18
00:00:56.119 --> 00:01:00.600
<v Speaker 3>with the European Commission President Ursula vunder Lyon, Trump said

19
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:04.319
<v Speaker 3>he had agreed to extend the deadline for negotiations until

20
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.920
<v Speaker 3>July the ninth MS funde Lyon said she was ready

21
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:09.400
<v Speaker 3>to advance talk swiftly.

22
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>The European Commission is responsible for developing, implementing, and managing

23
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:18.879
<v Speaker 1>policies for the EU. The President had previously threatened to

24
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:23.760
<v Speaker 1>impose tariffs on June first. Meanwhile, the President is standing

25
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:25.239
<v Speaker 1>firm in his feud with Harvard.

26
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:29.439
<v Speaker 4>The President is defending his administration's decision to block Harvard

27
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:34.719
<v Speaker 4>University from accepting international students, posting on true Social we

28
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.040
<v Speaker 4>want to know who those foreign students are a reasonable

29
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.400
<v Speaker 4>request since we give Harvard billions of dollars. The executive

30
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:46.319
<v Speaker 4>action was temporarily blocked by a federal judge late last week,

31
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:48.519
<v Speaker 4>with a hearings set for this Thursday.

32
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.280
<v Speaker 1>And that CBS is Willie James Inman reporting Harvard says

33
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:56.719
<v Speaker 1>the Trump administration's latest move against the university is unlawful.

34
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.519
<v Speaker 1>Russia stages is a night other drone attack against Ukraine overnight,

35
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:06.079
<v Speaker 1>a Ukrainian official calling it the biggest one of the

36
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.520
<v Speaker 1>war yet. Word of the latest attack comes after President

37
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:12.879
<v Speaker 1>Trump lashed out at Russian President Vladimir Putin.

38
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:15.919
<v Speaker 5>Trump bearing down on Moscow, turning his fury toward Vladimir

39
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.159
<v Speaker 5>Putin last night after a massive Russian attack on Ukraine.

40
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.199
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not happy with what Putin's doing is killing

41
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people.

42
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.080
<v Speaker 4>And I don't know what the hell happened to Putin

43
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:25.759
<v Speaker 4>a week ago.

44
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.319
<v Speaker 5>Today, Trump spoke with Putin for more than two hours,

45
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:31.280
<v Speaker 5>saying after the call that Russia and Ukraine would immediately

46
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:35.000
<v Speaker 5>start negotiations toward a ceasefire. But over the weekend, Russia

47
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.120
<v Speaker 5>launched its most intense aerial attacks on Ukraine in more

48
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:41.120
<v Speaker 5>than a year, including hundreds of missiles, killing at least

49
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:43.400
<v Speaker 5>eighteen people injuring dozens more.

50
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:45.719
<v Speaker 1>And that's ABC's Andrew Dimbert reporting.

115
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:02.680
<v Speaker 7>who said they do feel safe living here.

116
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:05.279
<v Speaker 1>And last week, the Justice Department announced that it was

117
