Why did July’s jobs report show a worse‑than‑expected loss of 23,000 jobs?
Jobs lost, not gained. I'm Dave Anthony, Fox News. We just got that hiring update, a worse than expected jobs report for July.
Negative twenty three thousand. Unemployment rate drops in July to four point one percent from four point two percent in June.
Fox Business Network's Lawrence Siminated that lost jobs last month unexpected. A gain of eighty thousand jobs was predicted, and there have been revisions down. For May and June, a hundred three thousand fewer jobs created than first reported. But on Wall Street, stock futures rise with less concern about a future Federal Reserve interest rate hike. The Senate may vote today on Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's nomination, and the second Republican plans to vote no. Lisa Murkowski joined Susan Collins opposing making Blanche full time A G.
How could a Republican senator’s vote block Todd Blanche’s confirmation as Acting Attorney General?
Murkowski said in a statement that she is concerned that the Trump administration could go forward with its proposed fund to compensate January sixth rioters, even though Blanche has said he will shelve the idea. She also said she has issues with the handling of the release of the Epstein files and what she called, quote, sweeping immunity protections granted to President Trump, his family, and their businesses, among other things.
That's Fox's Tanya J. Powers. If one more Republican Senator sides with Democrats, Blanche would not be confirmed. Another Congressman has lost a primary. The ninth one in the House this year. Andy Ogles, a Republican in Tennessee, who had President Trump's endorsement, defeated by GOP challenger Charlie Hatcher, who was backed by Governor Bill Lee. Now Lee can't run again. Senator Marsha Blackburn won the Republican primary to replace him.
What happened in the recent school shooting near Bangkok and how many victims were involved?
We are a solid red conservative state and all of these socialist communist policies end at the Tennessee state line.
Blackburn faces Democrat Jerry Green in November. Five teachers and staffers are dead at a school near Bangkok, Thailand. A 14-year-old student went on a shooting spree, wounding more than twenty others. He also killed his grandparents before going to school. The boy's also dead. He killed himself as well. America's listening to Fox News. We are still waiting on another deal with Iran, and while President Trump insists they have to agree to denuclearize, getting shipping flowing again, ending attacks on oil tankers and other vessels, also a big issue.
Iranian officials say they are close to a deal with Oman to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
What are the latest developments in the U.S.–Iran negotiations and the Strait of Hormuz reopening?
They can expect an announcement anytime. President Trump insists he is personally involved in those negotiations. The President said an agreement could be announced as early as today.
This defense agreement brings together the second largest military in NATO, the wealthiest country in the Middle East, and a nuclear armed power from Asia. Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan say they want to strengthen collective deterrence against any act of aggression. Similar to NATO's Article V, an attack on any one of the three will be considered an attack on all. The deal will likely lead to joint military exercises. Technology transfers and intelligence sharing. It was signed at a meeting of the three countries' leaders in the Saudi holy city of Mecca. Jonathan Savage, Fox News.
Three wildfires keep charring the Spokane Washington area. They have burned more than nine hundred homes and other structures, some reduced to just ashes and ruins.
What does the new defense agreement between Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan entail?
One of the fires was set and the accused arsonist admitted it.
But did not enter a plea as his attorney asked for a mental competency exam. Aaron Farinacci appears to have an obsession with fire. He also admitted to detectives he started what's now known as the Old Trails Fire. Investigators say Faranacci told them he started some twenty-five fires in and around his neighborhood since last year, some of which forced evacuations, burned dozens of acres, and damaged at least one home.
That's Fox's Sarah Allegra in Spokane. Back to our top story. That worse than expected unemployment report for July. Twenty-three thousand jobs lost, hiring revised lower for May and June.
