Live from NPR News in New York City, I'm Dua-Lisa Cautel.
What happened at Berlin's Pride parade after a vehicle drove into the crowd?
In Germany, one person is dead and at least 15 people are injured after a vehicle drove into a crowd at the capital's annual Pride event. As Esme Nicholson reports, police are actively searching for the driver.
Berlin police say a white vehicle drove into a crowd at the city's annual Pride parade shortly after 10pm on Saturday evening. Police say witnesses saw the driver get out and run away after coming to a halt. Police are currently clearing the parade as they search for the suspect. There is not yet any indication whether the incident was an attack. Berlin's annual Pride, known as Christopher Street Day, is one of Europe's largest LGBTQ plus events. For NPR News, I'm Esme Nicholson in Berlin.
On its official social media, Berlin police said an urgent manhunt is underway for one or more possible perpetrators. Republican campaign committees have vastly more cash than their Democratic counterparts heading into the midterms.
How are Republican and Democratic campaign committees' cash reserves comparing ahead of the midterms?
NPR's Tamara Keith takes a closer look in the latest filings with the Federal Election Commission.
All told, the Republican Party campaign committees and the MAGA Inc. Super PAC ended June with more than $1 billion cash on hand. The president's Super PAC alone has more than $400 million in the bank, though it isn't clear yet how much of it will get spent in the midterms to defend Republican control of Congress. Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee is at a negative $2 million if you take debt into account. Combined, the Democratic committees are trailing the Republican committees by more than $700 million. Democratic candidates, however, have raised significant sums directly to their campaigns.

The White House Correspondents Association held its annual fundraising dinner last night.
What unfolded at the White House Correspondents' dinner and how did President Trump respond?
The event had been interrupted in April when a man tried to force his way through a security checkpoint and fired a shotgun outside the ballroom where President Trump was to speak. Trump said last night that he had scrapped the most biting parts of the remarks he was going to give last time. However, during his hour-long speech, he spent time insulting various people — singer Bruce Springsteen, former President Barack Obama, and his own speechwriters — NPR's Ron Elving reports.
The president complained about his script, wondered who could have written some parts of it. Near the end of the speech, after he had insulted a number of correspondents, he did essentially repeat the ritual tribute to the freedom of the press and the First Amendment.
How was the Big Bear eagle nest saved from nearby development and who donated?
And then he was also wearing, by the end of the speech, a Trump in 2028 hat.
NPR's Ron Elving reporting. You are listening to NPR News from New York City. The nest of the internet-famous bald eagle couple, Jackie and Shadow, in Big Bear, California, will be spared from a development nearby. The group that runs the 24-7 eagle livestream will be able to buy the land thanks to a multi-million dollar donation. From member station KVCR in San Bernardino, Madison Aument reports.
Friends of Big Bear Valley, the nonprofit that runs the camera, had until the end of July to raise $10 million to stop luxury housing and a marina from going in near Jackie and Shadow's nest.
Why are recent Houthi strikes and naval blockades significant for global oil markets?
With a week to go, a Silicon Valley tech couple stepped up. OpenAI president Greg Brockman and his wife Anna donated about $5 million. Jenny Voissard with Friends of Big Bear Valley says every donation helped.
I'm grateful for Everyone that donated that didn't have extra money or that sacrificed or that sold things or that did fundraisers.
The nonprofit plans to put the land into a trust. For NPR News, I'm Madison Aument in San Bernardino.
just off the Arabian Peninsula near the Yemen city of Hodea. Iran-backed Houthi rebels say they launched missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia in retaliation for Saudi strikes against Red Sea facilities belonging to the world's largest oil company, Aramco. These attacks are the first strike since about 2022 and is likely to complicate an already unsteady global oil market, while the Strait of Hormuz remains partially closed.
