1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Gandhi breaks down everything going on in the world. Here's

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: her three things. Hollywood writers are calling a strike that

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: means the production of some shows like late night talk shows,

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: could go dark this week. The Writers Guild of America

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: tweeted yesterday that the Board of Directors have voted unanimously

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: to call a strike, which is effective as of today.

7
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: The Guild represents writers of film, TV, and streaming media,

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: and the Alliance represents the studios. The strike comes as

9
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: writers say they are not getting paid nearly enough amid

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: the booming streaming era. At least six people are dead

11
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: and thirty injured after a dust storm pile up in

12
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: south central Illinois. Crews remain at the site near Springfield

13
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: on Interstate fifty five. A dust storm hit the area dramatically,

14
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: bringing down visibility, causing a chain reaction. Crash Police say

15
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: forty to sixty vehicles were involved in crashes Monday afternoon,

16
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: and several were actually engulfed in flames. Officials say it

17
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: occurred when heavy winds blew dirt from farm fields across

18
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: the highway. And finally, the US could default on its

19
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: debt as early as June first, if Congress fails to

20
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: raise or spend the debt ceiling. That's what Treasury Secretary

21
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: Janet Yellen told lawmakers yesterday. She said it's imperative Congress

22
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: act as soon as possible to increase the limit. Democrats

23
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: and Republicans are locked in a debate over how to

24
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: address the debt ceiling and the threat of default. House

25
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: Republicans last week passed legislation to raise the limit in

26
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: exchange for deep spending cuts. The White House has called

27
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 1: for a clean increase without cuts and is refusing to negotiate.

28
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: I hope you're having a great day. I'm Gandhi, and

29
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: those are your three things.
