is that the key element for ukraine is to keep the black sea waters open for export, especially the grain exports, and we have had a lot of talk about the grain deal falling through, the grain deal between russia, ukraine and turkey to allow ukrainian grain exports. what the ukrainians are doing is putting the russians on notice that the black sea is not their lake even though they have a vast naval flotilla there, basically an armada. that naval flotilla is not immune from drone attacks and they can do harassing work on the russian navy. and let s look to belarus now. as we know, that is where the wagner mercenaries are currently. poland s prime minister is saying that more than 100 wagner group mercenaries in belarus have moved closer to the border
downed trees and wires. that s a lot of calls. rescue workers were forced to prioritize which incidents they responded to first. at least two people were injured when a tree landed on a car according to e.m.s. and today the national zoo in d.c. will be closed for cleanup from the storm. swift-water rescue votes were patrolling the potomac river when they came across a boat taking on water. according to w top top, 13 boaters had to be rescued from the maryland side of the potomac after getting caught in the squall. this severe weather was fueled by the extreme heat sitting over the northeast. yesterday it was in the upper 90s when the storms hit. we will have an update when that heat will move out in just a moment. let s turn to deefrlg story out of haiti where an american nurse and her child have within kidnapped. is. according to the christian aid agency, she was working for
