Chapter 1: What recent military actions occurred between the U.S. and Iran?
Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Willman. The U.S. hit Iranian coastal military facilities Friday. The attacks were in retaliation for Iran hitting a cargo ship on Thursday in the Strait of Hormuz with the drone. Ampere's Tom Bowman has more.
The Central Command statement said American warplanes attacked Iranian missile... in drone storage locations and coastal radar sites. This comes after Iran attacked a Singapore-flagged cargo ship, the Ever Lovely, exiting the Strait of Hormuz along the Omani coast where the U.S. has set up a pathway and cleared it of mines.
Iran insists its ships can only sail through the routes it has set up closer to its coast. Nearly three weeks ago, U.S. forces hit similar military targets after Iran fired multiple attack drones toward the strait. Tom Bowman, NPR News.
In Venezuela, efforts to rescue people who were trapped inside buildings following two massive earthquakes on Wednesday are continuing. Venezuela's acting president, Delce Rodriguez, said Friday that at least 920 people have been killed. Tens of thousands of others are reported as missing. Manuel Ruida has the reports.
Rescue teams from the United States, El Salvador and Spain arrived in Venezuela Friday morning, as crews race against the clock to pull survivors from collapsed buildings. Recovery efforts have been slow, with many residents complaining about the lack of equipment or specialized teams to get people out. In La Guaira, the city hit hardest by the quake.
Dozens of buildings are rubble, including public housing projects, and the military has now been sent to the coastal city to support rescue efforts and prevent looting. La Guaira's airport was damaged by the earthquakes, so eight teams are flying into airports about a three-hour drive from this city. For NPR News, I'm Manuel Rueda in Bogota.
Former National Security Advisor John Bolton has pleaded guilty to illegally retaining classified information. U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland Kelly Hayes announced the deal on Friday.
As Mr. Bolton admitted, he shared more than a thousand pages of information about his day-to-day activities as the National Security Advisor, including information related to the National Defense with two individuals who neither had the security clearances nor the need to know that information.
Bolton's plea deal could help him avoid prison time. President Trump faced similar charges after his first term in office, but a Florida judge appointed to the bench by Trump ruled the appointment of the special prosecutor investigating his case unconstitutional. An online flight tracking service says a small aircraft crashed into Beijing's tallest building on Friday.

Chapter 2: How is Venezuela responding to the recent earthquakes?
On Friday, he missed a 25-foot putt that would have given him a sub-60 round. It would have been just the second time he has ever accomplished that, but he ended up with a 60. Victor Hovland is in second place. I'm Dale Willman, NPR News. This is Ira Glass. On This American Life, one thing we like is a good mystery.
Sometimes about really big things, but most times, the little mysteries are the best.
Our lost and found is currently filled with pants. I don't know, I've never seen this happen.
Wait, this is true?
