US House votes to curb Trump's war powers
6/4/202627 min
The US House has passed a resolution directing Donald Trump to withdraw American forces from the Iran war, in a largely symbolic move that nonetheless deals a political blow to the president. Four Republicans backed the Democrats, who accuse Trump of violating the Constitution by launching strikes without congressional authorisation.
Also in this podcast: US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, warns that the Ukraine-Russia war is at high risk of escalating. Cuba accuses the US of "strangling the island", as major bank cards are set to be suspended after another Trump sanction. Filmmaker Wim Wenders withdraws his 1975 movie 'Wrong Move' over actress's teen topless scene. The WHO says the number of suspected Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo has reduced as testing ramps up. Mexico tries to curb cartel violence and protests ahead of the World Cup. And we visit the Tribeca Festival, which this year includes a film generated entirely by artificial intelligence.

[upbeat music] What's up, y'all? Summer's got a different tempo. Everything's a little looser, brighter. One plan turns into another. You hear something, you stay a little longer. Next thing you know, you're somewhere you didn't plan to be. It's those in-between moments. That's where the ideas hit. Conversations stretch out. Little memories sneak up on you. Sometimes it's just about what's in your hand, that color, that chill. The new Tropical Butterfly Refresher from Starbucks. Guava and passion fruit flavors with mango pineapple flavored pearls. Yeah, that feels like summer before you even taste it. Funny how one small stop becomes the best part of the day. Start your summer rhythm with Starbucks. Try the new Tropical Butterfly Refresher from Starbucks.
