1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: This is your twenty four to seven US update. The

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: latest use this hour in just four minutes.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 2: More US forces are arriving in the Middle East. US

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: Central Commands confirmed about thirty five hundred sailors and marines

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: from the Tripoli Amphibious Ready Group arrived in the region Saturday,

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: along with support ships and aircraft. Two other ships carrying

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 2: thousands of marines are expected to reach the Persian Gulf

8
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: in coming days, and The Washington Post reports the Pentagons

9
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 2: preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran, possible at

10
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: oil refineries on Iran's Karg Island or at coastal sites

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: near the Strait of Horrormuz. It's still uncertain if President

12
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: Trump will sign off on the plans. Karg Island is

13
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: home to Iran's largest oil terminal, and Iran's been controlling

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: the Strait of Horrormus to block oil shipments in the region.

15
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,800

17
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: Jim Forbes has the latest.

18
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: The judge sided with DirecTV in a ruling late Friday.

19
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,639
Speaker 1: In the order, the judge wrote that DirecTV established quote

20
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: a likelihood of success on the merits on its claim

21
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: that the merger violates antitrust laws, and that moving forward

22
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: with the transaction would create quote irreperable harm. The decision

23
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:28,639
Speaker 1: blocks Nextstar and Tegna from combining their operations for fourteen days.

24
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: The judge set a hearing for April seventh on whether

25
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: to issue a preliminary injunction. I'm Jim Forbes.

27
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: Van says he's obsessed with UFOs and believes aliens are

28
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: actually demons. In the conversation, Vans admitted he was obsessed

29
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: with the UFOs when he first took office and said, quote,

30
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: I don't think they're aliens. I think they're demons. But

31
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: that's a longer discussion. When asked if he was going

32
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: to release all of the government's files on UFO's Vance said,

33
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 2: we're working on it. I'm Scott Carr. Huge protest against

34
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: President Donald Trump took place across the US Saturday and

Speaker 2: Americans to the streets protesting the recent actions of the

38
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: president and his cabinet. This says Trump's approval ratings dropped

39
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 2: to around thirty six percent and gas prices climbed to

40
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 2: more than four dollars a gallon in many states. Thousands

41
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: turned out for our protest in Manhattan Saturday. Lisa Salvadi

42
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:36,840

46
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,280

47
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 3: our history that's like being in Germany in nineteen thirty five.

48
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 3: Another said she came for her grandchildren, who are the

49
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 3: future of this country, and what Trump is doing is

50
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 3: very very much in New York, I'm Lisa Salvadi.

51
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,160

Speaker 2: owner of the historic Cohle's French Dip restaurant in Los

64
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,960

00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: shortages in LA have now made the closure of the

66
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighteen year old eatery inevitable. Cole's French

67
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,320
