A danger outside, but inside, intense crowding with temperatures in the 80s. People reportedly passing out several needing treatment for heat exhaustion.

Officials say the flooding was triggered by the fast paced melting of the mendenhall glacier. Experts say alaska has been warming at twice the rate of the rest of the country. See, this is a 1 to a 0. 2 chance of this type of flood taking place at any given time. So this is a very rare event. As for that beyonce concert, it eventually went on and the tour reportedly paid 100,000 to keep local trains running late to take people home. In a statement, stadium officials said fans safety was their highest priority. Breaking overnight, a firefighting helicopter has crashed in southern california.

D. C. Federal judge Tanya Chutkan now holding trumps lawyers to a 5 p. M. Eastern time, cut off today to file a response. In his request, smith argues trump could use his social media to disclose evidence or even intimidate witnesses as prosecutors. And trumps defense team prepare for trial in the 2020 election, interference case, the motion filed a day after trump pleaded not guilty to charges including conspiracy to defraud the United States and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding. Trump, on the campaign trail in south carolina, calling his latest four count criminal indictment fake charges. Theyre trying to make it illegal to question the results of an election. Trumps former Vice President turned republican rival for the 2024 president ial nomination open, appearing on cnn, mike pence says hes not planning on testifying against trump in the election interference case, but it is drawing his hardest line yet between him and his former boss. Im running for president in part because i think anyone who puts themself over the constitution should never be president of the United States. Trumps defense attorney on this week saying he cant wait to question pence. You may think that somebody is acting inappropriately under constitute principles, but mr. Pence, whos a lawyer, never said to mr. Trump, i think what youre doing is criminal, and thats very important. Federal prosecutors say the protective order request is in line with others commonly used is an overly restrictive and that trumps team can modify it at any point during the case. Andrea. Justin, thank you.

One expert calling it highly provocative and a barrage of russian missiles and drones is being blamed for at least six deaths in ukraine.

Local deals and steals this week , a body found yesterday along a nature trail in the small town of bel air, maryland, is believed to be a woman missing since saturday day. 37 year old rachel moran was last seen going for a walk. She was later reported missing by her boyfriend. Police are waiting for confirmation from the medical examiner to identify the body. They have not named a suspect, but the case is now being investigated as a homicide. We turn now to a scam alert involving a payment app used by millions. It appears fraudsters are getting even more clever, convincing people to send them hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Heres abcs Derrick Dennis this morning. The zelle payment app scam thats making the rounds again it was just so it was creepy creepy for rachel adler of San Francisco who told our station kgo that a man pretending to be a bank of america Fraud Prevention officer called her, claiming there had been money siphoned out of her account. Now i see a zelle for 2,000 taken out of your account. I also see one for 1,500. Did you zelle anyone for 1,500 . No no, i did not. But she says thats not where the scam ended. The phony caller assured adler he would stop the theft. But first she had to. Zelle the same amount of money back to herself and then ignore a bank of america fraud alert that would automatically come to her phone. And youre going to get a text saying that weve detected suspicious transfer activity, that it could be possible fraud or scam. Dont worry about that. Were taking care of that right now. In this phone call, it was all a big scheme. Adlers lost 5,500, 5,500. Its a hell of a lot of money. Its. Its stunning. Experts say its happening all over and banks know it. But once money is approved and sent and a fraud alert is ignored, little can be done to retrieve it. I do like fraud alerts, but now i dont even trust i trust nothing. A statement from bank of america says the bank will never ask a client to send money to themselves or to anyone else and to beware. Thieves are using more and more estimated methods to appear to be authentic from the bank. Andrea andrew, derek, thank you.

So yeah, because i was saying with a smile, i mean, was that just pretty much the message that thats football, thats life, things happen. I mean, thats a sick joke. Thats just like, yeah, i mean, thats a sick joke. I just i cant believe that. But even after the miss the us still had a chance. But after more misses is off the post, it was then swedens chance to send the us packing, hurting their. Did it go in . At first it looked like the goalkeeper had made a spectacular save, but the video review showed the ball had just barely crossed the line, giving the win to sweden. We just lost the world cup by a millimeter. Thats tough. Its the end of a disappointing run thats been blamed on everything from injuries to decisions by the coach to what former star carli lloyd claimed was a lack of passion on the team.
