What are the latest Russian attacks in Ukraine and how are they affecting civilians?
Exchanging strikes. I'm Angelo Bavaro, Fox News. About a dozen locations were hit Saturday night in a Russian attack in Ukraine, killing two people.
Several more people were injured in Ukraine's Black Sea port of Odessa after waves of missiles and drones rained down there. Vermont's President Vladimir Zelensky has pleaded with other countries, especially the U.S., to send Ukraine more Patriot systems that help shoot down ballistic missiles, but they've become scarcer by the Iran war. He's hoping to secure licenses for Ukraine to manufacture its own. Moscow, though, is taking advantage of this situation by upping their nightly attacks, knowing some strikes won't be intercepted. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drones killed five people and injured two dozen others in Russia's border region of Belgorod. Kiev continues to target Russian energy infrastructure and oil depots, sparking a fuel crisis there, as well as the country's largest online retailer.
How are Americans reacting to the U.S. involvement in the Iran war and the recent jobs report?
Wildberries has been hit several times.
Fox's Stephanie Bennett, the World Health Organization, announced one of its warehouses was destroyed on Friday. That's where it was keeping dozens of pallets of medical supplies. New polling says Americans do not approve of the Trump administration's war with Iran as the latest jobs report fails to impress.
75% of Americans say the conflict with Iran has not been worth the cost. That's according to a Marquette Law School poll. There's also new economic pressure on the administration after the latest jobs report released this week. July's numbers show 23,000 jobs were cut. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett argued he doesn't see this as being set in stone.
What did President Trump say about shifting from military action to economic pressure on Iran?
Gains in previous months had been revised down.
Fox's Alex Hogan. In a call with Axios, President Trump said he was pivoting away from military action in Iran and towards economic pressure. The war has kept fuel costs elevated, which ripple through the economy. America is listening to Fox News. Big-name Democrats are reaching out to Michigan candidate Abdul El-Sayed after he clinched the party's nomination for Senate last week.
Former President Barack Obama is now one of the latest to speak with El-Sayed. El-Sayed did not share the details of their conversation. Still, it's the latest attempt to bridge the gaps within the Democratic Party.
Why is former President Obama supporting Senate candidate Abdul El‑Sayed in Michigan?
El-Sayed says he's hoping to campaign with Obama as they try to turn the page on the primary. Some, though, are skeptical El-Sayed could unite different factions of the party. A centrist Democratic group is spearheading a $15 million effort between now and 2028 to discredit Democratic socialism, a sign that the discord among Democrats is unlikely to go away anytime soon. But to progressives like Senator Bernie Sanders, El-Sayed's win has been a long time coming.
Fox's Madeline Rivera, El Sayed, says he does not call himself a socialist. He will face Republican Mike Rogers in November. OK, so was it just a hard foul or retaliation for her comments about transgender athletes? Fox's Natalie Chuck has more about Saturday night's scuffle involving Sophie Cunningham.
Cunningham and Dejanay Carrington getting really frustrated right after that.
What is the controversy surrounding Sophie Cunningham and the WNBA’s transgender participation policy?
Carrington was ultimately ejected for that flagrant foul. She then took to social media posting, quote, white privilege and tagging the Indiana fever. That post has since been deleted. Now, Cunningham reacted to the post, telling a reporter in part, quote, this has nothing to do with race. Last year, I did the same thing and I got kicked out and I deserve to be kicked out. There's no reason to even play that card. But this all comes weeks after Cunningham initially told ESPN she wants to protect young girls in locker rooms or who should not have to play against biological men. Those comments then sparking both support from fans and opposition from those supporting trans athletes.
WNBA leaders are set to take up transgender participation policies this week. I'm Angelo Bavaro and this is Fox News.
