LaSara, Fox News. Another round

0:07

of aid that the White House says is time

0:09

to a summer counteroffensive.

0:10

The $500 million package includes

0:13

mine sweepers, armored vehicles, munitions

0:15

and air defense capabilities.

0:17

This is the 41st drawdown of equipment

0:20

from the DOD inventories using presidential

0:22

drawdown authorities for Ukraine that Congress

0:24

approved last year with strong bipartisan

0:26

support. White House spokesperson Olivia

0:28

Dalton reiterated President Biden's message

0:30

this week to Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky

0:33

of unwavering U.S. support. This

0:36

latest aid was long planned and is not

0:38

tied to the short-lived revolt over

0:40

the weekend in Russia led by the leader of a

0:42

Russian-backed mercenary group. Fox

0:44

is Jaren

0:44

Halpern at the White House. The president of Belarus

0:47

has confirmed that that leader of the weekend rebellion

0:49

has arrived in that country after being exiled

0:52

as part of the deal that ended the mutiny. The

0:54

heat wave that's now impacting the South

0:56

is expanding with forecasters saying the

0:58

Midwest could hit triple digits

1:00

this

1:01

week. That's going to combine with some moisture

1:03

and humidity and that's going

1:05

to increase our heat index values

1:08

up to 105 to potentially 110 degrees across southwest Missouri and southeast

1:13

Kansas.

if he wants to enter a guilty plea. Vanderslode

The White House is trying to increase

2:32

access for cancer treatment. Cancer

2:35

has been a personal issue for President Biden

2:37

since the loss of his son Beau, and

2:39

now the president wants to address cancer disparities

2:42

that stem from poverty. The persistent

2:44

poverty initiative includes spending 50 million

2:47

dollars on cancer research centers that

2:49

will look at the factors of poverty involving

2:51

cancer and try to address them, such

2:54

as how to reduce obesity, improve

2:56

nutrition and help people quit using

2:58

tobacco. The money will be spread out over

3:00

the next five years to centers in Texas,

3:03

Alabama, New York,

3:04

Utah and California. The

3:07

president has already launched the Cancer Moonshot

An electric vehicle company that was supposed to

3:17

revive a closed General Motors plant

3:20

is now bankrupt. Ohio-based electric

3:22

truck maker Lordstown Motors has

3:24

filed for Chapter 11 reorganization

3:27

and is suing

3:27

its partner Foxconn, accusing it

3:30

of fraud and breach of contract. The

3:32

lawsuit says Foxconn failed to follow

3:34

through with its promised investment in Lordstown

3:37

Motors, effectively destroying

3:39

the business of an American startup.

3:41

It's Northeast Ohio factory, a former

3:44

GM plant, was sold to Foxconn

3:46

a year and a half ago, and the two partners

3:48

were supposed to work on a series of new

3:50

vehicles. So far, Lordstown has

3:53

only made a handful of trucks. The company

3:55

is seeking a buyer. Jenny Kosola,
