What diplomatic talks are happening in Switzerland with Vice President J.D. Vance and who represents Iran?
Talks in Switzerland. I'm Ted Lindner, Fox News Vice President J.D. Vance in Switzerland for those peace talks with Iran. Fox's Trey Inkst has got the latest for us this morning.
High-level diplomatic talks are set to take place today in Switzerland aimed at solidifying the memorandum of understanding and entering into the next phase of negotiations. Vice President J.D. Vance is joined by Special Envoys Witkoff and Kushner to move these talks forward on the American side. Iran's parliament speaker, Mohammad Khaliboff, and the country's foreign minister, Abbas Argachi, will represent the Iranian side. The issue of Lebanon remains a major sticking point. Five Israeli soldiers were killed by Hezbollah in the course of 48 hours over the weekend. The Israelis responded with heavy airstrikes across southern Lebanon.
Which sticking points, including Lebanon and the Strait of Hormuz, are complicating US‑Iran negotiations?
Now, in response, the Iranians claim they are closing the Strait of Hormuz.
The U.S. military disputing Iran's claims, saying that the strait remains open. Meanwhile, President Trump threatening to impose tolls on the Strait of Hormuz if a deal is not made. New video released in the fatal stabbing of Texas teen Austin Metcalf. Earlier this month, Carmelo Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison. Fox's Sarah Legre has more details for us.
We had strict media guidelines inside the courtroom when covering this case. But now that it's all over, this evidence out in the open, we not only have that video, but we're also hearing the 911 calls made shortly after that attack. I mean, it takes you right back. to those chaotic first moments. You could hear the confusion and the urgency as students and staff just rushed in to help. The released video also shows some grainy surveillance video from the day of that deadly confrontation. The video appears to show a brief confrontation lasting seconds before Anthony's running away from the area, moving through the bleachers and out onto the track.
Anthony will potentially be eligible for parole after half of his 35-year sentence is served. He was assigned a new attorney to appeal his murder conviction.
America's listening to Fox News.
At least one person has died. Over 1,700 other people have been evacuated after a fire broke out at a Dominican Republic resort. Fox's Jeff Paul with more.
Authorities launched an investigation as they try to figure out how this fire started. And the nearly 1,700 tourists who were evacuated now have to figure out what they're going to do next. The fire was sparked on Friday at the Viva Dominica's Beach Wyndham Resort. in the popular tourist town of Bayabi. Thick black smoke blanketed the area as flames soared just feet away from the crystal clear waters along the Caribbean coast.
What new developments and claims about the Strait of Hormuz are officials reporting?
Crews even using drones equipped with water hoses to try to put out that massive fire. While the exact cause of the fire is under review, officials in the Dominican Republic say strong winds are partly responsible. But they also say the fire moved so quickly because many of the roofs at this particular resort were made with a dry palm leaf material called canna.
Local media reports the one fatal victim was an Italian tourist. Many of those evacuated placed in nearby hotels. A man accused of running a $1.2 billion Medicaid fraud conspiracy arrested in the Philippines and brought back to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson on Fox's Saturday in America accusing the Biden administration of letting the man get away.
They found plenty of time to arrest people playing outside of abortion clinics, but instead they let this guy run away with all of his money outside of the country. We got him in just a couple months thanks to the hard work of Kash Patel and the vice president's task force, and that's why this matters.
This comes amid a government crackdown on fraud, which has also uncovered a federal employee who stole millions from COVID relief programs.
