And even with the black guy, I said, do you want a little makeup?

We'll get you a little makeup."

 

But he said, "No, I don't think so, which is interesting.

And very nice.

 

He wants to be who he is."

Musk spent more than $288 million to help elect Trump.

 

The president says he could have won without him.

"I think I would have won, Susie would say I would have won Pennsylvania easily anyway."

 

Musk watching today furious, posting, quote, "without me Trump would have lost the election."

 

The president gave Musk extraordinary power, allowing him to eliminate entire federal agencies and to fire tens of thousands of workers.

 

But tonight, Trump portraying Musk as another disgruntled former employee.

 

disgruntled [dɪsˋgrʌnt!d] adj. 不满的;不悦的

 

"They leave and they wake up in the morning and the glamour's gone.

Russia responds to drone attack with fierce aerial assault across Ukraine

 

There's breaking news right now out of Ukraine, Martha Raddatz, our team at a bunker right now.

 

Air raid alerts going off as we came on tonight.

All of this after Ukraine's drone attack deep inside Russia.

 

And then the moment inside the the office today.

President Trump, who campaigned promising he would end the war in Ukraine on day one.

 

Today, saying, quote, "Sometimes you're better off letting them fight for a while."

Martha Raddatz reporting in from Kiev amid these air raid alerts going off moment to go.

 

"David, we just heard an air raid alert, an urgent alert telling us to come down to the shelter that's where we are now with many others from our hotel.

 

The air raid defenses are said to be working in Kiev, but explosions have been heard, but we are safe down here.

Tonight, a ferocious Russian assault following Ukraine's coordinated drone strikes deep inside Russia.

 

Russia now blasting residential high-rises in Ukraine's second-largest city of Kharkiv and destroying this government building in Kherson.

 

The barrage leaving more than 40 people dead or wounded across Ukraine.

And Ukraine is now bracing for even more what could be a much larger Russian attack at any moment.

 

A response to that stunning Ukrainian drone operation, drones lifting out of containers of top trucks and flying to their targets, destroying at least 10 Russian warplanes, including nuclear-capable bombers worth billions.

 

And in a remarkable scene in the Oval Office today, President Trump, after campaigning, he could end the war in Ukraine on day one, suggesting it might be better to let both sides fight for a while, even though it was Russia which invaded Ukraine.

 

"Sometimes you see two young children fighting like crazy.

They hate each other and they're fighting in a park.

 

And you try and pull them apart.

They don't want to be pulled.

 

Sometimes you better off letting them fight for a while, and then pulling them apart.

But German Chancellor Merz making it clear Germany is on the side of Ukraine.

 

The chancellor's saying there is a difference between what Ukraine is doing and what Russia is doing.

We get satellite pictures of the warfield, and you don't even like to look at them, right?

 

It's terrible.

It's a really bodys, arms, heads, legs all over the place you've never seen anything like ... it's so ridiculous.

 

And this is only by Russian weapons against Ukraine, this had never happened with Ukraine weapons against Russia.

Never.

 

Ukraine is only targeting military targets.

Not civilians, not private, not energy infrastructure.

 

So this is the difference and that's the reason why we are trying to do more on Russia, how to stop this war.

And David, given what Donald Trump said today, given the missiles flying around Ukraine tonight, peace seems a long way away.

 

David.

All right, Martha, we're glad you and the crew are down to that bunker tonight.

Martha Raddatz, thank you.

 

NTSB focusing on possible human error as cause of American Airlines engine fire in March

 

Back here in the US, into a new and damning report tonight after that harrowing flight.

 

harrowing [ˈhæroɪŋ] adj. 折磨人的，令人痛苦的

 

The American Airlines flight, that engine that was engulfed in flames.

You saw the images here, passengers using emergency slides to escape the plane.

 

Well, tonight the NTSB is out with a new report, now pointing to human error, Gio Benitez, and what they're now saying.

It was a terrifying engine fire that send passengers down slides and running from the smoke.

 

Now tonight, the NTSB focusing on human error.

American Airlines Flight 1006 took off from Colorado Springs en route to Dallas in March with 178 on board.

The plane diverted to Denver and landed safely.

But while it was taxing, the right engine caught fire.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

 

Smoke filling the 737 cabin, passengers going down one of the plain slides.

Some seem standing helplessly on the wing because the other slide malfunctioned.

 

At least a dozen were hurt in preliminary findings.

The NTSB says the right engine blade was fractured and a number of engine parts had been incorrectly installed.

 

Now this may have happened just days prior or it may have been a problem for months if not years will wait and see what the NTSB says, but really human error is going to be the factor here.

 

Meanwhile, David, American Airlines tells us it is cooperating with the NTSB in this investigation.

David.

Gio Benitez is back on this report to you.

Luigi Mangione's alleged diary notes reveal motive for murder, prosecutors say

We turn next tonight to the alleged CEO killer, Luigi Mangione, and a look at his handwritten diary.

 

Tonight his notes and what they might reveal.

Authorities say Mangione writing, quote, "The target is insurance.

 

It checks every box” and prosecutors now pointing to three other initials written in that diary.

Could there have been a different target at one point?  Here's Aaron Katersky.

 

Tonight prosecutors say in the months before Luigi Mangione allegedly gun down UnitedHealth Care chief Brian Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel, the suspect revealed a motive in this diary.

 

In handwritten pages they say Mangione wrote about rebelling against the deadly greed-fueled health insurance cartel, saying I don't feel any doubt about whether it's right, justified.

 

rebel [rɪˋbɛl] v. 反抗[（+against）]

greed [grid] n. 貪心；貪婪

cartel [kɑrˋtɛl] n.（多家公司为控制价格和限制竞争联合组成的）卡特尔，同业联盟

 

The target is insurance.

It checks every box.

 

Mangione even imagined the future news headline.

Insurance CEO killed at Annual Investors Conference.

 

In a new filing, detailing the evidence against Mangione, prosecutors pointed to bullets found at the scene, etched with the words "deny, delay, depose," arguing it shows an intent to violently broadcast a social and political message to the public at large.

 

filing [ˋfaɪlɪŋ] n.存档

etch [ɛtʃ] v.（用酸类在金属板上）蚀刻；蚀镂；深印；鲜明地描述

depose [dɪˋpoz] v. 置放

 

"It was intended to evoke terror."

And tonight we're learning how Thompson was allegedly stalked.

 

The night before the shooting, prosecutors say Mangione is seen on surveillance video appearing to talk at a cell phone as his target walked past him on the street.

 

The new court filing also shows Mangione may have considered a different target with the initials KMD, but decided it would be perceived mostly as sick and do nothing to spread awareness, improve people's lives.

 

perceive [pɚˋsiv] v. 意识到；理解

 

It's not clear what those initials KMD stand for.

Mangione is pleaded not guilty.

 

plead [plid] v. 恳求[（+with/for）]; 辩护，抗辩[（+for/against）]

 

All right, that's the Mangione case.

Let's bring in Aaron Katersky and do another case that Aaron has been following, of course, the Sean Combs case because Aaron, the judge today, giving Sean Combs warning in court.

 

You sure did, David.

Sean Combs has not supposed to react with facial expressions to the testimony.

 

But the judge said he caught Combs nodding vigorously and looking at the jury.

If it happens again, the judge, who called it absolutely unacceptable, said he would consider excluding Combs from the courtroom for the remainder of the trial.

 

exclud [ɪkˋsklud] v. 逐出，开除[（+from）]

 

David. Aaron Katersky following both of these cases report. Aaron, thank you.
