For what the us has called a horrific attack. Hezbollah has denied any involvement. There are fears that the rocket strike, in the town of majdal shams, will trigger an all out war in the region. Paul adams sent this report. Through the streets of majdal shams, the coffins came one by one. A town reeling in shock, consumed by collective grief, terrified about what happens next.

He wanted the department to open the door so he could walk through it and remain president even though biden won. It s one of the biggest political stories of our lifetimes. But it s in the past.
Among nats fans they they don t pay the way they should. But we ll take it, charles schwabber. He is on the injured list and probably will be for a couple more weeks.

But the big trade not official yet, but rumors the nats are close to sending max scherzer and tray turner both of them to an already loaded dodgers team. That s going to be tough. Going to be very tough. We ll see what happens. Hopefully the red sox will do better than last night.
