Authorities now closing roads and scouring the area, warning Hardin could be armed and dangerous.

 

It comes amidst a growing search for several inmates who escaped jail in New Orleans more than a week and a half ago.

Late today three more escapees captured with two still on the run.

 

At least nine people have now been arrested for allegedly helping these inmates, including another inmate accused of giving them a blanket and shirts to climb over the facility's razor wire.

 

They're going to make a mistake or get tired of running.

And when they do that, if you're there or close by, you'll be able to pick them up.

 

And Lindsay asked for that escaped Arkansas murderer.

He previously worked as the police chief in a small town not far away and admitted to killing a fellow government employee.

 

Authorities say he is extremely dangerous.

Lindsey, authorities say Neumeyer arrived in Israel in April.

He was deported to the U.S. and arrested by the FBI at JFK Airport this weekend.

 

If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison.

Pres. Trump rebukes Putin, calling Russian leader "crazy" after Ukraine bombardment⁷

 

Next night, President Trump honoring the fall, laying a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier.

 

fall [fɔl]n. 阵亡，战死

 

The president is now blasting Vladimir Putin, calling him absolutely crazy.

 

And what Trump's now saying about a new tariff threat on the European Union?

ABC senior White House correspondent Selena Wang has more.

 

Today, President Trump marking Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery laying a wreath up a tomb of unknown soldier to honor America's fallen.

 

the fallen  陣亡將士

 

"We share in the sorrow of their beloved families, and as one nation we give thanks for the ultimate gift they have so selflessly given to all of us."

 

But the president also using his Memorial Day message on social media to lash out at federal judges who blocked his agenda and blast his political opponents, calling them quote scum.

 

lash out 猛烈抨击

scum [skʌm] n.【口】社会渣滓

 

A republic that I am fixing after a long and hard four years.

That was a hard four years we went through.

 

Who would let that happen?

And just days after a federal judge temporarily blocked the administration's ban on international students at Harvard, Trump is now threatening to take $3 billion in grants away from Harvard and redirect the money to trade schools

 

grant [grænt] n. 助学金，补助金

 

"Part of the problem with Harvard is that there are about 31 percent, almost 31 percent of foreigners coming to Harvard.

We have Americans that want to go there and to other places.

 

The White House claims Harvard has become a hotbed of anti-American, anti-Semitic, pro-terrorist agitators.

 

hotbed [ˋhɑt͵bɛd] n.（培育植物的）溫床；（孳生疾病和犯罪等的）溫床

agitator [ˋædʒə͵tetɚ] n. 鼓动者；煽动者

 

Allegations Harvard denies.

A hearing is now set for Thursday, but until then, the fate of nearly 7,000 international students at Harvard hangs in the balance.

 

We're all panicking.

We're all overwhelmed.

 

Time of uncertainty.

Literally, like, like, it's, I've never experienced it before.

 

And tonight the president also turning his frustration towards Vladimir Putin just hours after Russia unleashed its biggest bombardment of Ukraine since the start of the war.

 

An rare rebuke of the Russian leader Trump saying Putin has gone absolutely crazy.

 

I'm not happy with what Putin's doing.

He's killing a lot of people and I don't know what the hell happened to Putin.

 

I've known him a long time, always gotten along with him, but he's sending rockets into cities and killing people and I don't like it at all.

 

But the Kremlin pushing back tonight, suggesting Trump's comments might be due to emotional overload.

Selina Wang joined us now from the White House.

 

Selina, why does President Trump say that he's now giving the European Union more time to reach a deal before imposing that major new tariff?

 

Well, Lindsay. Itis to allow for more time for negotiation.

So President Trump had threatened 50% tariffs on European goods, but he's now delaying that by a month.

 

But President Trump, he is keeping the pressure up on Apple warning that they'll get hit with 25% tariffs if they don't make the iPhone here in the US, something that analysts say is unrealistic.

 

Lindsey. Selina Wang for us, thank you.

Decades after war hero's death, children discover lost footage of their dad in Vietnam

Finally tonight, America's strong.

 

One fallen hero's voice silenced when his children were too young to remember until now.

Here's Byron Pits.

 

This is Captain Riley Lee Roy Pitts, company commander of Charlie Company, second battalion, 27th Infantry in Vietnam.

 

company [ˋkʌmpənɪ] n.【军】连

battalion [bəˋtæljən] n.【军】营，大队

Infantry [ˋɪnfəntrɪ] n. 步兵团

 

The first black officer in American history to receive the Medal of Honor.

But just weeks before he was set to go home to be with his family, wife Yuleme, son Mark and daughter Stacy on Thanksgiving of 1967, Captain Pitts was killed by enemy fire.

 

He was 30 years old.

His son Mark told us he did not remember the sound of his father's voice until one day when his mother set down to watch TV.

 

The story started with my mother was watching the Ken Burns documentary on Muhammad Ali.

 

No, I will not go.

 

And she starts telling me, "Hey, I just saw your dad."

They interviewed him in this Muhammad Ali series.

 

That clip, a short snippet of acamera crew in Vietnam talking to soldiers about Muhammad Ali refusing to be

drafted to fight in Vietnam.

 

snippet [ˋsnɪpɪt] n. 剪掉碎片；斷片

 

And there he was, Captain Pitts.

Simply because Muhammad Ali has these beliefs, there's no reason why people should go against him.

 

That footage, turned out, came from the vast depths of the ABC News archives.

Our team then finding more than 40 minutes of unaired footage.

 

So he found the original sequence of interviews, but he also found some other stuff.

V.C. Cash's V.C. themselves is still here.

 

This is called a search and destroy mission.

I'm watching his mannerisms and that's the first time I've obviously remember his facial expressions, his body language.

 

mannerism [ˋmænərɪzm] n.（本人可能并未意识到的）习惯性动作;习性

 

Every member of the Pittsfamily teared up, emotional as they watched.

So one more to show you.

 

Because he made such an impression on the team from ABC News, they went back again and they interviewed his soldiers who were with them when he died.

 

Liley Roy Pitts was more than an inspiration and a leader of his men.

 

inspiration [͵ɪnspəˋreʃən] n. 鼓舞人心的人（或事物）

 

He was a man among men.

-Without his leadership, everybody would have completely fell apart.

 

-Clearly the respect that they had for him and the appreciation for his leadership and just probably more personal than it is, anything that I saw in the video.

 

Sexist is Charlie, sexist.

 

I'm seeing more than I expected.

And I don't know that I was quite.

 

I love him.

I'm much.

 

I told you I worked.

(laughing) - It's a lot, it's a whole lot more.

 

Yeah, I just know that, that I'm this style, something special.

I mean, I really do.

 

Captain Pitts, a leader and hero are thanks to Byron.

You can see the full story later tonight on Nightline.

 

Thanks so much for watching.

I'm Lindsay Davis.

 

David Mirabach here tomorrow.

Good night.
