Hey, everyone. It is Friday, July 24th. You are listening to the MoNews Podcast. I am Jill Wagner. This is the place where we bring you just the facts. We read all the news and read between the lines so you don't have to. Okay, my favorite video of the day. I am not sure if anybody else caught it. Larry the Cat. He is a permanent fixture at 10 Downing Street. He's actually been named the official Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office.
He just welcomed his seventh Prime Minister, Andy Burnham. At this point, he has outlasted David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer. Technically, he belongs to the staff and the building, not to any specific political leader. But the video that I am talking about is of Larry the cat, essentially fighting or taking on a fox and winning. Now, this fox was twice Larry's size. It wandered into a garden patch right outside of the UK Prime Minister's residence and you could see Larry slowly and carefully creeping up on the animal and then just pouncing after the fox tried to hide in the bushes. There was a brief scuffle and the result is that the fox went running away down the street. Now, I love this video because I did not know what was going to happen. That fox again, double if not triple Larry's size, but I guess just proving why he has now made it longer than many prime ministers. I did put up the clip over on my Instagram, Jill R. Wagner, if you want to check it out. Now to the headlines starting in the Middle East. Could the US be ready to launch a massive attack on Iran? Some signs are pointing in that direction. While of all the developments as gas prices continue to climb, now up 15 cents a gallon from last week. And that Saudi nuclear deal we mentioned yesterday? Well, President Trump has a new condition regarding Israel. Protests in Wisconsin after a man was shot and killed by police. What we know about what happened? Police say that that man had pulled out a knife. And why there is no body camera video from police? The Justice Department withdrawing subpoenas issued to New York Times journalists. What happened in court on Thursday?
Out West, historically low water levels in two of the country's biggest reservoirs is threatening water and power for millions of Americans.
In health news, a big hearing on peptides. An FDA committee just voted in favor of two peptides, despite the agency's opposition. I'll explain.
And Samsung still trying to make foldable phones happen. But one tech reporter says that this time, they've really got it right. And it is Friday. Cheers to the freaking weekend. What we are watching, reading and eating. With Mosheh off, I will be joined by Mo News producer, Ali Wolf.
