"Lawrence Brooks. The founder of a nonprofit has been accused of making up a story about homeless military veterans being evicted from a New York hotel to make room for migrants. Republican state assemblyman Brian Maher, who helped spread the story is now calling for an investigation saying he and others were duped by Sharon Tony Finch. When pressed for details by the AP, she would only say we should have verified there. Yeah, yeah, but is that true? We should have very very more. Before disconnecting the call, she had claimed her nonprofit was housing bets that were kicked out of an upstate hotel after New York City's mayor sent migrants there. The hotel said it was untrue. The mid Hudson news reports homeless men from a shelter claimed they were hired as part of the ruse, Mars says he spoke with Tony Finch Thursday and learned the story about homeless vets being displaced was false. Julie Walker, New York. The head of Russia's Wagner group claims his forces have taken control of the city of bakhmut. It comes after the longest and most grinding battle of the Russia Ukraine war, in a video posted on telegram, the private army's head yevgeny prigozhin says the city is now under complete Russian control. He spoke flanked by about half a dozen fighters with ruined buildings in the background and explosions heard in the distance. But Ukrainian defense officials deny the claims and say Ukraine still controls some facilities in the area, while heavy fighting continues. I'm Lawrence Brooks. Families in Yuval di, Texas are digging in for a new test of legal protections for the gun industry as they get ready to mark one year since the school shooting that killed 19 children and two teachers. Both the U.S. government and gun manufacturers in recent years have reached large settlements following some of the nation's worst mass shootings. Gun control supporters say other cases have created road maps for victims and relatives to sue and Democrat led states are rolling back some industry protections, but high hurdles remain for lawsuits to succeed. Tennessee's governor just signed a bill that further shields gun manufacturers which are already largely protected from lawsuits under federal laws. Meanwhile, Wednesday will mark one year since the most deadly school shooting in Texas history. I'm Julie Walker. Negotiations on raising the U.S. debt ceiling are expected to continue throughout the weekend, despite some big hurdles. Tensions between GOP leaders and The White House have been evident last night House speaker Kevin McCarthy called for a halt to the talks, with no agreement on raising the nation's borrowing limit, but then negotiators were able to start up again. President Biden in Japan for the G 7 summit explained to Australia's prime minister truly apologized to you. Why he has to cut short, his participation. We have a little thing going on at home, I gotta pay attention to. The president's been saying he's optimistic a potentially catastrophic debt default can be averted. But speaker McCarthy is insisting on deep cuts. We can't be spending more money next year. We have to spend less. I'm Jackie Quinn. The G 7 has urged China to pressure its strategic partner Russia to end its war in Ukraine. In a joint statement, G 7 leaders said, we call on China to press Russia to stop its military aggression and immediately completely and unconditionally withdraw its troops from Ukraine. Leaders also expressed serious concern about the situation in the east and South China seas, where Beijing has been expanding its military presence and threatening to use force to exert its control over self governed Taiwan, calling for a peaceful resolution. Chinese officials have since reacted to statements on these and other issues by accusing G 7 members of hypocrisy. I'm Laurence Brooks. Some 2024 Republican presidential hopefuls are rushing to defend the marine veteran who put a New York City subway rider in a fatal chokehold. Florida governor Ron DeSantis urged the nation to show Daniel penny that America's got his back, former UN ambassador Nikki Haley called for New York's governor to pardon penny, and BioTech entrepreneur Vivek Rama Swami donated $10,000 to penny's legal defense fund.

I still believe we'll be able to avoid a default and we'll get something decent time. There had been concerns Friday after House speaker Kevin McCarthy called off negotiations, saying The White House refuses to lift its opposition to GOP spending cuts. But the negotiators were able to resume. Goes in stages. Officials have said the U.S. could default on its debt in less than two weeks, which would be catastrophic for the economy.

Haiti's Interim Leader Requests US Troops
"Has asked the United Nations and the United States for troops to protect key infrastructure as the country reels from Wednesday's as Wednesday's assassination of President Jovan Elmo Ease. Senior American officials said there was no plan to send military forces the U. S intelligence officers would assist the investigation. Adam Isaacson is from the Washington office on Latin America, a US based advocacy group. 80 really needs help in forming a legitimate government. And of course, the those who are claiming to be legitimate government. They barely have enough security forces to keep order right now in the country, So you know they've taken this rather Outrageously risky step of asking the United States to perform security duties for them, and I don't think the United States is at all interested in another occupation or troop presence in Haiti. I don't think the United States wants to put any of its own personnel in harm's way in Haiti.
