About this episode
The episode discusses Iran's response to a US peace proposal, a hantavirus outbreak in Tenerife, the April jobs report, a cyberattack affecting universities, and the Pentagon's release of UAP-related documents.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he hopes Iran’s response to the US’ latest peace proposal will spark a “serious process of negotiation.” Port workers in Tenerife are protesting the arrival of the cruise ship hit by a hantavirus outbreak, as health officials race to trace and contain the virus. The April jobs report is out and it’s stronger than economists expected. An apparent cyberattack has disrupted final exam season at universities across the US. Plus, the Pentagon has released a series of declassified photos and documents related to UAP (unidentified anomalous phenomena) reports dating back decades. Learn more about your ad choices.
