[0:00] In the day's other headlines, health authorities are investigating a suspected outbreak of Hanta [0:05] virus after three people died on a cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean. The operator of the MV [0:11] Hondias and the World Health Organization say the victims include a husband and wife from the [0:15] Netherlands and a German national. Three others are seriously ill, including a British man who [0:21] tested positive for the disease. The ship is currently on lockdown off the coast of West [0:25] Africa with nearly 150 people on board, including 17 Americans. One of those, travel blogger [0:32] Jake Rosmarine, says passengers are anxious and want answers. We're not just a story. We're not [0:39] just headlines. We're people, people with families, with lives, with people waiting for us at home. [0:48] There's a lot of uncertainty and that's the hardest part. The ship asked for assistance today from [0:57] Hanta virus is typically carried by rodents and is not easily transferred between humans. [1:04] The World Health Organization said today that the risk to the wider public remains low. [1:09] Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is in stable but critical condition in a Florida hospital [1:14] as he recovers from pneumonia. His spokesperson, Ted Goodman, wrote on social media today that the 81 [1:21] year old was placed on a ventilator, but quote, he is now breathing on his own with his family and [1:26] primary medical provider at his side. Goodman says Giuliani's condition was made worse by his exposure [1:32] to dust and toxins at Ground Zero after the September 11 attacks. Giuliani won worldwide acclaim for his [1:39] handling of that crisis, but has since been mired in legal and financial troubles. In Oklahoma, [1:46] authorities are searching for suspects in a mass shooting that left at least 23 people injured. [1:51] Police say it happened during a party last night near Arcadia Lake. It's a popular swimming and [1:56] boating spot north of Oklahoma City. A local hospital says three of the victims are in critical [2:02] condition. It's unclear how many of the injured were shot or suffered other injuries. The police say [2:07] there is no ongoing threat to the public. Investigators from the National Transportation and Safety [2:13] Board are on scene to interview the flight crew about what led to United Jet clipping a delivery truck [2:20] and a light pole on its descent into Newark Airport. Harrowing dash cam video from inside the bakery [2:36] truck showed the moment of yesterday's collision. The truck driver miraculously had only minor injuries. [2:42] None of the 231 people aboard the plane were hurt. Aviation experts say the passenger jet narrowly [2:48] avoided a catastrophic crash on the New Jersey turnpike by mere feet. United says the pilots of the [2:55] plane have been put on leave while the accident is investigated. In Germany, officials say [3:00] at least two people were killed today when a car plowed through a pedestrian zone in the eastern [3:05] city of Leipzig. Another three people were seriously injured and are being treated in area hospitals. [3:11] The city's mayor says it's believed to be a deliberate rampage, though authorities are still [3:16] looking for a motive. Police say the 33-year-old driver is a German citizen who stopped the car himself [3:21] and didn't resist arrest. Investigators believe he acted alone. The suspect is being held on suspicion [3:27] of murder and attempted murder. On Wall Street today, stocks eased back from their recent highs [3:33] amid the latest concerns over rising oil prices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell more than 550 [3:39] points, or more than 1 percent. The Nasdaq slipped nearly 50 points. The S&P 500 also ended the day [3:46] in the red. And a handful of marquee names in the media landscape are among the latest Pulitzer Prize winners [3:52] announced this afternoon. The Washington Post won the Public Service Award for its reporting on the [3:58] Trump administration's changes to federal agencies. The Associated Press won for international reporting [4:04] for its look into mass surveillance as a tool in China. Reuters was honored for its national coverage [4:10] of President Trump's use of executive power. In the meantime, the Minnesota Star Tribune won for [4:15] its reporting on a local shooting at a Catholic school that killed two children and wounded 17. [4:20] And Julie Brown of the Miami Herald received a special citation for her reporting nearly a decade ago [4:27] on Jeffrey Epstein. An iconic New York Yankees broadcaster, John Sterling, has died. Across more [4:35] than 35 seasons, Sterling called some 5,600 games, including the postseason. That included a streak of [4:42] more than 5,000 consecutive games. Sterling was known for his theatrical style and his trademark home run calls. [4:50] Swung on and hit high in the air to deep right. That ball is high. It is far. It is good. [4:59] He would add a tailored phrase for each hitter like, it's an A-bomb from A-Rod for Alex Rodriguez [5:06] and all rise, here comes the judge for Aaron Judge. Sterling retired in 2024 and underwent heart surgery [5:14] this past winter. John Sterling was 87 years old. Still to come on the NewsHour, how the collapse of [5:21] Spirit Airlines is impacting travelers and the wider aviation industry, why the Trump administration [5:27] is paying two companies nearly a billion dollars to abandon plans to build wind farms, and former [5:34] federal workers speak out about being terminated and why they're now running for office.
