News Wrap: CDC reports more measles cases so far this year than in all of 2025

President Donald Trump:

We're locked and loaded and ready to go, but we're talking to them. So I think, while we're talking, we will see what comes of it.

Meanwhile, Iran struck U.S. military targets in the region earlier today in response to the latest U.S. strikes. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that Tehran will not bow to U.S. bullying and said the U.S. must change its approach towards negotiations.

The Israeli military is deploying more troops to the occupied West Bank after one of the deadliest shootings there in months. Palestinian health officials say the Israeli military shot and killed four Palestinians in the village of Tell in the Northern West Bank.

The bodies of those killed were taken to a nearby hospital. Four others were wounded, some of them critically. In the meantime, Israelis buried a 32-year-old reserve soldier who was killed in the shooting, one of at least two Israeli fatalities. Both sides are offering different accounts of what led to the shooting.

In Ukraine, officials say at least 10 people were killed by a Russian ballistic missile strike today in the Kyiv region and nearly 100 others injured. The attack happened near a defense industry event. It comes a day after President Zelenskyy met with the American defense manufacturer Raytheon, which makes the Patriot air defense systems that Ukraine says it needs.

In the meantime, in St. Petersburg, plumes of black smoke stretched into the sky after the latest Ukrainian drone attack on warehouses owned by Russia's largest online retailer, Wildberries. Kyiv says the retailer supplies the Russian military, which the Kremlin denies.

In Western Europe, raging forest fires are forcing tens of thousands of people to flee. In Southwestern France, fires have consumed around 50 square miles, not far from Bordeaux, since Wednesday. Some homes were reduced to rubble. Authorities in Spain have declared a national emergency as fires burn near Madrid. Shelters are filled with evacuees.

One survivor described how quickly the flames consumed his home.

Enrique Martin, Wildfire Survivor (through interpreter):

I had to run from my house. It was a ball of fire, and if I'd been five minutes later, it would have wiped us out. My wife put her foot down, and that proved crucial.

Amna Nawaz:

The fires come as Europe has suffered intense heat waves in recent weeks. Both France and Spain are getting help from neighboring countries to combat the flames.

Member states of the International Criminal Court reportedly voted today to dismiss the tribunal's chief prosecutor over allegations of sexual misconduct.

British barrister Karim Khan was first accused of misconduct related to a female aide nearly two years ago. He denies any wrongdoing. It's the first time an ICC chief prosecutor has been removed from office. And it comes as the Trump administration has launched renewed efforts to dismantle the body, saying the court is a threat to America's sovereignty.

In Georgia, a teenager pleaded guilty today to all 55 counts in a school shooting that killed four people and injured several others; 16-year-old Colt Gray, who was charged as an adult, entered the plea after previously pleading not guilty. He was 14 at the time of the shooting at Apalachee High School in 2024, about 45 miles northeast of Atlanta.

Gray faces a minimum sentence of life in prison, though the judge can decide whether he should be eligible for parole. In March, Gray's father was found guilty of second-degree murder, among other charges, for giving his son the gun that was used in the shooting.

On Wall Street today, stocks ended mixed, even as oil prices cooled for the first time in a week. The Dow Jones industrial average added more than 230 points. The Nasdaq slipped about 160 points, or more than half-a-percent. The S&P 500 ended the day nearly flat.

And LeBron James is heading to the Philadelphia 76ers for his record 24th season. The NBA's all-time leading scorer made the announcement on social media, writing -- quote -- "This is my last decision. I'm not going for money. I'm not going for family. I still want to compete, to win and to have a chance at the feeling of winning another championship."

Terms have not been made public, but ESPN is reporting that he's set to sign a two-year $8 million deal. Sixer fans are rejoicing, including Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who proclaimed today LeBron James Day in the commonwealth.
