Why did President Trump pause strikes and announce talks with Iran?
Talks start tomorrow. I'm Ron Chester in Fox News. President Trump says talks with Iran will begin tomorrow. The president briefing reporters on Air Force One after pausing attacks on Iran.
It was going to be a massive attack. It was going to be an attack that would have been by far the biggest attack since World War Two. But they've asked us not to do it. They said, please don't do it. And other their neighbors said that, too. And so we're just going to see whether or not we can make a deal with the denuclearization.
President paused attacks before only to see peace negotiations fall apart. Israel has reportedly shared concerns with the White House about a proposed disarmament deal with Hamas. An Israeli official telling the Associated Press, Israel believes Hamas is focused on rebuilding its military rather than demilitarizing.
What details did the president give about the scale and reasons for halting the attack?
Authorities say about 5,000 homes have been evacuated and about 600 homes, businesses, and other buildings have been destroyed by wildfires that remain uncontained today. Fox's Sarah Allegra in Spokane.
The old trail fire, which is the damage here... 3,461 acres burned against 0% containment. For the Autumn Lane fire, just around 3,000 acres. That is another fire that is burning just to the northwest of us. That's at 0% containment. And to the east of this area, there's the Fairview fire. 914 acres burned, containment 0%. We know 900 resources have been deployed throughout the area to mend these flames.
No deaths reported from the fires. Officials say at least one of them was sparked by lightning, Washington, under a state of emergency. At least 14 people are dead in northwest Pakistan. Five of them reported to be police officers. After a suicide bomber struck an anti-military rally, more than two dozen were hurt. America is listening to Fox News.
Police released the name of the suspected mass shooter who opened fire at Twin Falls, Idaho at an In-N-Out burger, killing two people.
Fox's Max Gordon.
What are Israel's concerns about the proposed disarmament deal with Hamas?
At least three died and seven people were injured in the incident. Here's what police said about the shooter.
At this time, we can confirm that the suspect, 24-year-old Chad Williams, is deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Investigators are in review. Yesterday at 2.29 p.m., multiple 911 calls were received by the Twin Falls City Communication Center. Dispatchers could hear screaming and reports of gunshots in the background.
Meanwhile, the president of In-N-Out is reacting to the shooting. In a post on Facebook, Lindsay Snyder writes, My heart is broken, my chest is heavy, my eyes burn from the tears I've shed. Snyder says an employee and customers were among the three who died.
The motive is still unclear. Seven people were hurt. A closely watched Democratic primary in Michigan, which might help determine the tone of the Democratic Party. Fox's Rich Edson in Detroit.
Progressive Abdul Al-Sayed has focused his campaign on abolishing ICE, Medicare for All, stricter regulations of data centers, and criticism of Israel and AIPAC spending to help elect Congresswoman Haley Stevens. El-Sayed calling her the least capable candidate in the country. He also suggested she wants U.S. money in a foreign government. It's an apparent criticism of defensive aid to Israel. She responded that everyone in America understands El-Sayed wants to blame all his problems on Jewish Americans and that she's been supportive of long-term peace between Palestinians and Israelis. She also maintains El-Sayed's rhetoric positions and associations will cost Democrats a Senate seat.
How severe are the wildfires in Washington and what evacuations were made?
The winner of the Democratic primary will face off against former Michigan Representative Mike Rogers, which could determine which party controls the Senate. A congressman from Ohio, Marcy Kaptur, hospitalized after a hit-and-run crash. I'm Roger Stern, and this is Fox News.
